众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在灯火澜栅处。

You learn something new every day, and this is what I learned today. Basically, in Chinese, it translates into the situation where you’re constantly looking for that special someone, fruitlessly. One day, you all of a sudden turn around, and there he or she is, standing in a dimly lit corner, waiting patiently. Sigh. So romantic.

My boss knows all sorts of these lovely Chinese sayings, and I’m lucky I get to learn them :) Too bad our generation doesn’t know these sorts of things. They only know Jay Chou lyrics, which are fine too…
