That's alright as the last time we met is over 25 years, my face changed and I bet even Kenny and Elaine will not recognize me either. I have attached a few of my photos.
After RJC, I attend U of S for a year and then transfer to U of Lethbridge for another 2 years in business admin. Due to family financial crisis, I quit school and went back to HK for work.
I just quit my long time job 2 years ago as I need to go through surgery twice (Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction) which caused by down hill skiing way back at RJC. I got a part-time job and now trying to pull myself together and prepare to look for a permanent job as my recovery process already reached 80% after physiotherapy. I am praying for new job openings and opportunities.

    A week after my surgery I had to start physical therapy which was good and bad. Good in the fact that I was always getting stronger, but bad in the fact that it was painful and it felt pointless to try to get my hip back to normal before I had to have yet another surgery. Even though I thought physical therapy was going to be pointless, I had no choice, so I went twice a week for over two months until the date of my next surgery. The day finally came for my next surgery and it seemed just like the last surgery. The only thing that was different was my excitement level, because I knew that the recovery for this surgery was going to be…

    When I came back after what felt like forever, the doctor told me that it still was not healed and she wanted me to see a surgeon.
