  • 生日

    今天是爸爸的生日,首先祝爸爸生日快乐!

    想去买个蛋糕给爸爸庆生,

    随口跟孙老师提了一下,孙老师竟然说蛋糕他来买,

    其实挺不好意思的,因为本来就没打算让他给爸爸买蛋糕的。(多奇怪呀!)


    孙老师要上班,所以我自己跑去Chadstone的Laurent买了一个Flourless Sponge Cake,因为上次妈妈的生日蛋糕也是Laurent买的,不能偏心啊,不然爸爸又该说我只爱妈妈不爱他了silly

     

     

    其实吧,孙老师是一个很细心很体贴的男人,

    发现我车的轮胎气压不对会帮我去调整(这个我根本不懂吗!),

    发现我车里油不多会帮我多加一点(我老记不住在最便宜的那天加油),

    发现我车窗没加膜夏天开车晒的厉害会帮我把车拿去加膜(还不收我全价),

    我车里的clock快一个小时(因为不懂怎么调整车里的clock,每次daylight saving过后时间就差一小时)

    今天无意间发现时间竟然被调回来了,一定也是他调的吧?

    大大小小的事情累积,都让我感动,

    在这个很现实的世界里,我明白,除了自己的爸爸妈妈外,没有谁有义务对我好,

    所以,很想说声:谢谢。不是出于礼貌,而是从心底发出的。

     

    今天跑去South Melbourne的宠物店给我家的大宝小宝买粮食。

    买一送一,这么便宜的deal一定不能错过啦。

    所以买了2包Kitten Food,2包Adult Cat Food, 3kg一包的8大包一共花了140(原价都是36块一包啊,这样8包就要284!!)

    我不舍得给大宝小宝吃Safeway卖的猫粮,怕Safeway的猫粮用的都是下脚料原料(兽医都是这么说的!),不够健康。

    我希望我家宝贝长命百岁(这样他们老了后我也能少花一点医药费silly

    买完猫粮后顺道去以前经常光顾的咖啡店买takeaway coffee。

    快半年没去了,没想到我刚进门咖啡店的老板就走过来给我一个hug and kiss (on the cheek la :P ),

    呵呵~~大家都很热情的和我哈拉~~让我很有被爱的感觉。(他们竟然没有忘记我shocked,最让人感动的是他们竟然还记得我一直不变的order, three quarter skinny latte!!! 哭~)

    拿着咖啡走回车的路上,整个脸笑到开花laughing

  • 老手机

    喜欢早早洗完澡,坐在床上写日志。

    今天超级累,累到竟然能在公司厕所睡一个小时(睡到脖子都闪到bummed

    迷迷糊糊的从厕所出来,给自己泡了杯咖啡(还好公司咖啡机很给力,不然哭死~)

    然后插着耳机边听贝多芬边埋头工作,补那浪费了的一个小时。

    但是,又做愚蠢的事了… …

    正工作在兴头上呢,眼睛的余光瞄到邻桌的同事站在我旁边,

    于是赶忙取下耳机,问他有什么事,

    但是可能是刚才耳机音乐太大声,他反复说了两遍我竟然没听懂他在说什么(sorry pardon了他两次,他一定觉得我智障=_=!! )

    最后终于听懂他在问:You are back working full time now are you?

    我说没有啊,还是part time.

    那他就问我为什么还在公司。

    然后我很理直气壮的跟他说今天是星期三,我上全天班!!!!!!!!

    他*温柔*的纠正我说今天其实是礼拜四,我还争辩说:it’s Wednesday isn’t it?!

    我真的太无敌了,妈呀!!!

    反正结果就是,我无怨无悔的加了四个小时的班。Orz!

    (我可以再蠢一点吗?!)

     

     

    Anyway, 换个话题。

     

    话说买车一年多昨天总算给窗户做了个window tinting(去年年末还做了detail,我的车啊,苦了你一年了,以后我一定更好的照顾你,乖哈~好好的载我~~)

    多亏孙老师贴心,帮我早上把车送去tint,然后晚上又帮我把车取回来(当然还有接送我上下班啦blush),所以整个过程我就没费什么心思(还拿到很好的discount,感动到很不好意思~~)

    (~至于孙老师是who? 这个有机会再和大家分析解释~)

    真的不是盖的,有了tint开车真的没有以前那么晒,而且白色的车配黑呼呼的玻璃窗,真的太帅了一点了吗!(远远观望自己的车都好开心laughing,我很俗,谢谢!)

    哎呀,整个一个开心就是了!

     

    今天整理东西的时候翻出以前用的Nokia手机,突然好喜欢好喜欢,其实好怀念以前手机只是拿来打电话发短信,没有现在iPhone那么多的功能。

    其实很怀念小时候简简单单的生活,吃饭就是两菜一汤,去哪里都有公车或者11路,要和远方的亲人联系要写信,然后天天期待守着信箱期待回信,人与人之间也简单很多,朴实很多,

    现在科技发达到我都跟不上,不懂得电脑怎么用来下载电影和歌,不懂得怎么同步手机和电脑,不懂得… …

    我仍然相信,人,都有善良的一面,

    我每天祈祷,不求别人真心对自己,但上帝请你给我能力让我能真心对待身边的人,

    其实,人,好容易因为遭受别人的虚情假意,从而不敢/不愿意把自己的真心拿出来,

    我不要那样,像梁静茹歌里唱的那样:

    我要握住一个最美的梦,给未来的自己。


    我要拿来用!

  • A random update while sitting at the work desk

    I used to be able to write heaps, just letting my mind flow and letting the fingers do the work, but lately, there’s been a little bit of mind-constipation (again! Blahhhh….).

    It’s not really that I don’t have anything to write about, I have HEAPS, but I just don’t know where to start, or how to put my thoughts into words. And that, is very odd for me.

    Anyhow, I’ll just write some random stuff that happened today.

    1) As I was waiting for the tram this morning, I saw a Mini parked at the traffic light. And being the curious person I am, I glanced into the car.  There were lots of soft toys nesting at the front and back of the car, so I thought to myself ‘must be a gal driver’. As I glanced at the driver, I saw this guy with the MOST REPULSIVE expression on his face! The expression was a mixture of “hey, I’m checking you out right now” and “I think I’m so cool” and “I feel rather good about myself”. The instant feeling of disgust was overwhelming that I had to turn around n walk away. Now, honestly speaking, he was not bad looking, clean-cut shirt; hair neatly done; good complexion and with all his facial features of the right sizes and in the right places. But how can a decent looking guy emit such a repulsive signal?? I have totally no idea. Let’s just say, some people naturally repel me.

    2) Back to when I was sitting on the train coming into work, there’s this other guy standing right next to me (what’s with me and repulsive guys these days? Honestly I am NOT a men hater!!!). As I was concentrating on a ’boring-ish’ game on my iPhone, this guy started a conversation with what sounded like an Indian woman. I didn’t pay much attention to their conversation until their voices got a little louder than my comfort zone allows. I didn’t really catch what the problem was all about, all I heard was the guy saying his strategy was a win win situation and claimed that the Indian lady’s suggestion does not create extra space on the train (It was a rather packed train). The argument went to and fro with decibels rising with each sentence. The guy had to make sure he’s absolutely right and the Indian lady was wrong, and the lady refused to give in. It got to a point the guy called the lady a Loser and it’s at that point I lost total respect for the guy standing next to me. For goodness sake, what right does he have to call someone else a Loser when his heart is the size of a needle’s end? I think even his voice disgusted me towards the end. Maybe I’m just easily irritated? or overly judgemental? or both?!

    I feel I’m very responsive to “feel” people these days. Like, feel the frequency that the person is emitting, some people are naturally pleasant to be around with, some people are just down right negative that I don’t even want to be in their presence.

    It’s a rather strange sensation.

  • 上班一个星期咯~

    一转眼上班一个星期了,从星期三开始才渐渐进入状况。

    新的办公室很漂亮,干净,也够宽敞。环境比原来Toorak和South Melb好很多,人还是很友善,虽然有时候不是很喜欢注目礼,but I’ll get used to it。

    公司里的咖啡机做出来的咖啡出奇的好喝,比楼下Hudson的还要好喝很多,这样每天不用出门买咖啡,一天省了三块五。

    上班的这个礼拜天天都下雨,不喜欢雨天,感觉整个人好像要发霉。

    但是要特别感谢一个人,能在雨天接我下班;知道我上班淋成落汤鸡,开晴后还来接我下班。

    这几天过的很开心,有开怀大笑,也有微微的笑;吃很多,很丰富,很有营养,最近突然喝上啤酒,所以体重也直线上升了2kg。不过不怕,很久没看到脸上多出来的2块肉了。

     

     

     

    You have blessed upon me, nothing but Angels.

  • 第一天上班

    2011年第一天回公司上班,

    天气湿湿的,下着毛毛细雨,

    不喜欢下雨天,总感觉下雨好像是天在哭泣,

    每每雨天的心情都是灰色的。

     

    2年多后又一次搭乘公车上班,

    习惯了一个人,一台车,忽然很不习惯身边这么多人来来往往,

    走过嘈杂的人群,看着身边来来往往的路人,听着短暂的对话,

    发现,有些人,真的第一眼看到就会让我讨厌,

    有些人,听他说一句话就有躲他远远的冲动,

    真的很奇妙~

     

    新的公司,office都是open plan,一点隐私都没有,

    通常会把微笑挂在嘴角的我,感觉有点疲倦,吝啬的不想给谁笑容,

    感觉自己很渺小,周围的人都又高又壮,一丝丝intimidated,

    于是拿出我的狮子tissue box,粉色的喜感猪笔筒,放在桌上,

    给自己一点点微笑的理由,

     

     

    今天的心情是灰色,拿了几颗樱桃来吃,

    给自己一点点浪漫的感觉

     

    雨,还要下一个星期~~

  • 黄金海岸

    很久没写了(一个礼拜?)

    刚从黄金海岸回来,睡在自己床上的感觉真的太舒服了laughing,可惜天气太热,没能整个裹着被子享受一下,但是很有下次旅行带上自己枕头的冲动!

    这次旅行是和妈妈一起去的,好像从来没有和妈妈单独旅行,感觉还是有点怪怪的,本来以为能有很多东西和妈妈聊,结果好像没有聊很多。过去的一点破事不想反复的说来说去让妈妈担心。所以就和妈妈说,2011年是个好年,放心吧。

    去了2个theme park,感觉有点像骗小孩子的,而且在去过DisneyLand之后,那些小小的theme park根本就入不了我的法眼了吗!laughing 

    还是喜欢去巴厘岛,我还要去还要去还要去啦!!!!!!(机票什么时候才能便宜一点呢?!)坐在那里一整天吃吃喝喝游游泳看看书的日子真的是太惬意了!laughing 

    喜欢那里的rice fields,喜欢那里友善的人,喜欢那里湿湿的天气。

    OK, I shall stop daydreaming for now :)

     

    开年给自己买了很多双上班能穿的鞋子,回来后拿出来放在一起才发觉,看上去都差不多吗,都是一家店里出来的,差不多高的跟,都是黑色,一点修饰都没有。哈哈,也许我真的是一个很闷的人吧。但感觉这样的鞋子很classic啊!哈哈~~~

    下个礼拜就要去city上班了,哎,不能在蓬头垢面的像以前一样,必须人模人样一点(好啦,以前也不是非常邋遢,就是平底鞋穿的多了一点,然后可能头发不怎么整理)

     

    恩恩,先这样吧,出门咯~~

  • 2011第一篇

    大家好,感谢你2011继续来照顾我的博客,看我一些乱七八糟的废话。

    我觉得,我2011年博客的主题就叫闲话11好了。

    恩,闲话11,挺好的happy

     

    来报告一下2010-2011交界的那天是怎么过的。

    基本元素是:爸爸妈妈+好朋友+好朋友的爸爸妈妈+很多很多家里煮的好吃的+很多很多红酒+啤酒=满屋子的笑声。

    这年,就这么和乐融融的过了。

     

    原本以为,我的2010-2011会很悽惨,

    于是我就向上帝祷告了,我说上帝啊,我不知道你给我2010-2011安排了什么,

    我的恐惧你看到,而且你也告诉我Fear not my dear child, for I have taken care of everything for you. 

    于是乎,上帝赐给我了很多天使,陪伴在我的身边,让我身边有爱,有欢笑,谢谢大家,我很有被爱的感觉heart(感动ing….)

     

    好久没有敞开肚子和大家喝酒(好啦,圣诞节也有,that’s another story for another time), 于是我们8个喝酒的干掉了7瓶红酒再加啤酒,

    于是第二天就乖乖待在家里休息,就这么嘀,2011年1月1日在家里大大的休息。

     

    第二天一早找了好友去St Ali喝咖啡吃Brunch,好开心朋友也很喜欢那个地方。

    晚上还参加了朋友的House Warming,碰到了N多年没见面的老同学,也好开心啊!

    再然后,我就在床上写日志了,嘻嘻~~

     

    就这样吧,再不睡觉我要肚子饿了。

    我这胃口真的是越来越好了。

  • 我好迷糊啊!

    哎呀呀呀呀呀呀~~~这到底是什么状况!

     

     

    其实,我不喜欢变成菜市场的菜的感觉。

    其实,我比较喜欢窝在家里看DVD。

    其实,我喜欢早上早起,自己煮杯咖啡,看看报纸,游游泳,做做饭,聊聊天,失控的大笑几声,然后呼呼睡觉。

    其实,我不喜欢变成菜市场的菜。

    我很爱我爸,是他让我懂得,脾气暴躁不可爱,所以我要改正自己的坏毛病。

    我很爱我爸,是他让我反省,要做一个通情达理的女人。

    我很爱我爸,是因为他的“重男轻女”,我才会有今天的成就。

    我很爱我爸,他给了我一面镜子,让我看到自己的不足;

    我非常非常爱我爸,他用自己的长处与不足教导了我,怎样的男人才能做一个好丈夫,好爸爸。

     

    这些话,我还不能当面说给爸爸听;但是这些话,我天天说给自己听。

     

     

    I’d like to share an article with you all:

     

    How to find opportunity

    Post written by Leo Babauta.

    When we are faced with a crisis or struggle we often despair.

    But it’s in this struggle that the best opportunities emerge. If we’re keeping our eyes open.

    A crisis is an opportunity to change grow learn reflect and become better. It’s where we discover who we are and how we can find a new way we couldn’t have imagined before the crisis presented itself. It allows us to practice patience and acceptance and find renewed hope — which is the most beautiful thing.

    When I’ve lost my job it was an opportunity for reinvention and to strike out on my own.

    When I’ve lost a family member to the unrelenting grip of death it was an opportunity to reflect on that loved one’s wonderful life and for our family to come together in a way never possible before.

    When I failed at work I learned to improve and grow better.

    When I injured myself I learned patience and new ways to be healthy.

    When my children throw tantrums they are teaching me more patience and the power of raw emotions and the wonder of childhood and what happens when you lose perspective.

    When my wife and I had arguments it was an opportunity to learn more about each other and grow closer and become better at finding common ground.

    When I moved and missed my family on Guam terribly it was an opportunity to learn introspection and self-sufficiency and grow closer to family here in the States.

    When I daily face the terror of the void staring at me face to face it is my chance to push back and assert my will and imprint my soul upon this malleable world.

    And that my friends is beauty. It is the finding of renewed hope and growth when all else seems bleak and lost.

    In the struggle is the possible if we dare to look.

     

    Finding Light in each situation, appreciate and give gratitude to all things in life, for indeed, everything in life is either a Blessing, or a Blessing in Disguise.

    I hope you enjoy the article. heart
