Why I chose America as my new country ?

Because the sky is bigger ?  Yes, it is.

Because there is freedom ? Yes, it is.

Because people is friendly ? Yes, it is.

Because the house is cheaper ? Yes it was. The above picture was taken with my lovely wife, Judy, inside the house. The House costs only$640,000.00 Hong Kong Dollars ten years ago.

Now that I am here, enjoying the peaceful and quiet life with my wife just like the way it is showing on this picture.

No, the above are not my main reason.

My son and daughter are why.



Their future is the only reason.

This picture was taken twenty years ago.

Same as all parents. They are my everything.

I wish to give them the best.  Therefore I sacrificed my stable career of  a senior legal executive  in Johnson, Stokes & Master, and selfishly sacrificed  my wife's high paying  teacher's job  in Hong Kong.

Now 14 years have gone. The sky is still bigger. The highways are bigger. American life is good. People live by the rules, by the laws and by all kinds of regulations.

I have no future. My kids have.

Now we are worrying about one thing. They are not married yet ?

Sometimes I am thinking. If we are staying in Hong Kong. May be we have grand kids already !

    Hi, dear sister, I agree. Loving feelings between two people is hard to get. Has to wait for right time and right place!
    Yes, quite big. 1400 square feet, even on a good area.
    The fastest way is investment immigrant. If you have a lot of money, you can go anywhere you want.
    But don't do immigration. It is boring. Hong Kong and Taiwan are the best places to live as you can eat better. And there are a lot of beautiful women and handsome guys.
    Such as the Phoenix I live. 90% people are ugly fat men and fat women, no good place to eat. No beautiful streets to walk around. If I want to eat better, I have to fly to Vancouver of Canada, as there are more Hong Kong people and good foods.
    So please don't do immigration.

    Buddy, you have gave up your career in HK and also your wife's, to seek the opportunity at the Land of the Free....To be truthful, I don't know if that's a good idea or what...because I also thought about my past tracks many many time....If I was to stay behind in HK back then....what would I be now???

    The world is full of opportunities,be it in the US or in HK...I have seen some of my HK friends raised from simple working class people to now...a multi millionaire in HK...so, I wonder...what if?????

    Hi, buddy, as you said to me last week, that I have to forget the past and move on ! So let's go, live for today and enjoy.
    I like to be a simple and poor man, as I don't have to worry somebody will kill me for my money or have to employ two bodyguards who follow me and my family 7/24....

    Immigration at forty something was really painful for us. But soon it will be paid off as my daughter will get the Doctor of Law, at Boston, this May.  The same level of Ma Ying-Jeou's achievement in law education.
    This is our happiness !

    Hi, S4D02,
    No, I am not. I am only a small potato, which has a little bit of ability to feed two more smaller potatoes only. Just a regular guy.
    Thank you very much for your first comments. Please come to talk when you have time.

    That's what I am worrying about. I am not worrying about my daughter, she got a lot of chance to meet boys. My son is a shy, silent young man, he stays in his bedroom all day after work and have no social life. So, how can he meet the girls ? I don't want him live alone when I die.

    Sorry, darling !  I bought him too much video games when he was  a kid.  But most kids and young men are doing the same thing in this generation. 
    I hope that all video games will disappear suddenly to-morrow, so all young men and girls will come out to party again ! come out to see movies..........
    May be Phoenix is too peace and quiet. If he wished to move to another big and better cities, where there are more opportunities of marriage. I am willing to sell everything here and just - Go !

    Eddie, you sound like my Dad, and most parents too, when their children are at the marrying age and yet they are still single.  Don't worry, they should find the right partners and marry, with God's help. Just pray for it. Like most parents too, your children are the first priorities in your lives. I admire you both for loving your kids enough to make such a big career sacrifice. Now that they had grown up as good, loving and responsible adults, you are already "earning the fruits of your labors". That's what my Dad's colleagues once told him about me when I took care of him at the hospital, back in 1982.

    Thank you, Little Creature, I will stop worrying. And only pray for their happiness.
    Our praying to God did work before, especially Judy's intensive prayers during 2005, the full year when Ever was serving the war zone in Kuwait. (We have never thought that the part-time Army National Guard will have to fight in real war. But when there is real war, they have to fight outside the country also ! That's an Order !) In the very beginning of 2006, Ever came home safely for good... So prayers work !
    It's true that "we have earned the fruits of our labors".
    I'll keep praying, never complaining !

    Why parents have so many concerns, first if we could grow up healthly or not, then school thing, now is if we're married or not, then maybe when we're going to have our own kid.

    When it's time, it's time, no rush Eddie

    Thank you, Teamaster, I won't rush. I understand what you mean. Basically it's animal nature. Tigers won't eat their own cubs. They train them until they can feed on their own.
    In the world of human beings, they do much more than this, on top of feeding, education, health, schooling, parents do wish their own kids have "happiness".
    I'm just talking here with friends. In fact, I have never talk with them on this topic. So don't worry, I won't give them pressure.
    If your mom asks you on this topic too much, please give her a big kiss, as she loves you too much.
