From Gooner to Hammer,

You came from UK. I was both in HK.

You like hiking. I like hiding.

English teaching is your mission. Chinese copywriting is my only way for making bread.

But we shared the same view. The little garden at Grantham Hospital, where we can see your room, is a beautiful place for chatting, smoking, sunbathing and breathing.

 

You are a Hammer. I am a Gooner.

At the day we met, 6 Oct 2012, you betted Arsenal would defeat West Ham United. I retorted that Arsene Wenger has never won Sam Allardyce.

The result is West Ham 1, Arsenal 3. You lost the game but won me.

 

You are a gentleman. I am a naughty old boy.

You said I am different from the gang. However, I want to join the mates this time. We are all full of sadness.

 

You believe in science. I believe in God.

I hope to say you made mistake, my teacher. Then we can meet again in some day.

 

Again, I am happy to visit you, John.
