Roses Given, Fragrance in Hand I hesitated slightly before hanging out, debating whether to bring an umbrella. Unfortunately, I didn't. It's pouring one hour later. I, was undoubtedly stuck in a fruit store, which was a few miles away from home. A nice song had been played repeatedly in that store, which sang by a famous HK singer Eason Chan, called "Long Time No See": I came to your city Walked along the road you walked Imagining how lonely you are If your life without me Holding the picture which you gave me What a familiar street But without your accompanying We couldn't get back to old days Will you appear unexpectedly In the coffee shop on the corner I would wave at you and greet you with a smile Sitting down and catch up with you I wish I could see you again See what you have been up to Never mentioned the past Just exchanged pleasantries Saying a single word to you Just a single word Long Time No See It's nice to listen to a song like this during raining. Finally, the heavy rain was getting smaller after a long raining. I left that fruit store, and headed to buy an umbrella. I ran all the way till I saw another fruit store. I walked into the store and asked the nice girl if any Walmart around and how to get there, and then hurried on my way. I walked just a few steps, an umbrella appeared above my head, "Let me send you there." a voice came into my ears from my backside, I turned around and saw a nice girl, yes, it was the girl who worked in that fruit store. We walked and chatted a bit, I asked her where she headed to. She said, she was just off work and went home, and the way to her house was the same direction with Walmart’s. I asked her where she lived, she instinctively pointed at the opposite direction (which was direction of her fruit store) and said it’s over there, very close. I was confused, that was not the same direction with me. She must have forgotten that she had said “We are on the same direction.” I arrived Wal-Mart, and said “Thank you” to her. I stayed there for a second, and looked at where she was heading to. She turned around and hurried off in the direction of the fruit store, gradually, disappeared in the rain... Obviously, she was trying to send me to Wal-Mart, but covered her kindness. Maybe she just didn’t hope that her help let others felt pressured. I was so moved. This story has been passed for a few years, but I could still recall her, her genuine smile, and her kindness. The world is full of love, and good people!

What's the difference between 'No problem' and 'Not a problem'? As far as I know, they could be used in both of below situations :1) Reply to show that you will or can do what someone has asked you to; 2) used as a friendly answer when someone thanks you for something you have done. Maybe 'Not a problem' is more casual?

Be Kind to One Another Working into the canteen, which we haven't been to for almost 1 year, with my friend. "Porridge is provided." The waiter said. I raised my head, oh that man, what a familiar look. "Long time no see." The waiter said. "Long time no see." I replied with smile. I kinda touched. It's been nearly 1 year, he still remembered what I used to order. Serve wholeheartedly, which is really a great service spirit, a way to hold customers.
