    It's Amazing

    这阵子一直在听一首歌,在Sex And The City的电影原声里的一首歌
    只是用钢琴奏起前奏,悠扬而舒缓,毫无过渡的就进入坚定的鼓点,却是非常的和谐。是一首内心坚强的歌。
    It' Amazing (Jem)
    Do it, now
    You know who you are
    you're feeling in your heart, and you're burning and wishing
    But first, wait won't get it on a plate
    You gonna have to work for it harder and harder
    And I know 'cause I've been there before
    Knocking on the doors with rejection
    And you'll see 'Cause if it's meant to be
    Nothing can compare to deserving your dream
     
    It's amazing, it's amazing
    All that you can do
    It's amazing, makes my heart sing
    Now it's up to you.
     
    Patience, now, frustration's in the air
    And people who don't care
    Well, it's gonna get you done
    And you'll fall
    Yes, you will hit a wall
    But get back on your feet
    And you'll be stronger and smarter
    And I know 'cause I've been there before
    Knocking down the doors won't take "No" for an answer
    And you'll see 'cause if it's meant to be
    Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

    Turn on a new page (...and remember the old ones)

    I have gotten out of touch with a lot of people that I enjoyed sharing my feelings with. Not because of me not caring about them, but for me getting so comfortable therefore lazy, sometimes. But I have to say that most of the time I tend to save my feelings to myself. Unless someone that I trust gets me drunk or gives me a cigarette, then I will talk.
    I read a blog entry of my friend a minute ago, we haven't gotten into contact for a long long time. Her words touched me, and I realized that I miss that girl very much. The girl who has so much spirit in her and so adventurous in life, and through all the things that she has done she got to know herself deeper and deeper. How she talked about her thoughts in blog is so accurate that I can almost hear her voice in it.
    I wish you the best, April.

    New Sunglasses

    Finnally, bought a pair of sunglasses that I like and enjoy wearing.
    A lot of things happened in the past two weeks:
    I went through training and now am opening accounts for customers (it was a lot pressure because I don't want to screw up somebody's account information, it's serious. But now I'm more relaxed and able to deal with customers with a clearer mind, that is good). 
    Heard from somebody that I worked with in Macy's that he is going to leave Macy's for a better position. Good for him.
    I always think that it's not a good career path to work in retail for a long period of time. It is great for some pocket money as a student, but it's very hard job especially if it requires associates to stand all the time: very hard on legs. Every body works hard to achieve goals but doesnot get a piece of the sales, that is just not fair.  Comsmetics is relatively better, but, I don't know, I just don't want to work in retail again. And I don't want to see my friends doing things that are clearly wasting their talent.

    日子很好

    今天在营业部里上班,印章上的日期是5.20,就觉得这么浪漫的日期应该会是顺利的一天吧。
    总体来说还不错,坐在电脑前写这篇日志的时候,想到前两天听到的高中几个同学要结婚的喜讯。特别替他们高兴,这日子过着过着,十六七岁的高中生就成了二十六的适龄青年了。想每个人感情上的高低起伏,现在的小幸福就是两个人在一起过小日子,安心。
    两个人在一起那么久了,该结婚啦。

    重新出发

    很久没上来更新了,忽然想重新开始记录自己的生活和心情。
    最近想念很多东西,朋友和去过的地方。想知道大家都在做什么。
    最近的心情不是很好,常常在网上浏览关于地震的消息,担心一些人。
    人生无常,可以控制的,总只是一小部分,大多情况下,不管愿不愿意,只能 go with the flow。

    After All Those Wondering

    不知道是应该说自己直觉准呢,还是邮局实在太无能,从定居申请被通过到我真正拿到绿卡在我手里,已经是四十四天之后了。移民局办事效率蛮高,问题出在邮局身上,因为我们搬了家,但是早就通知邮局把我们的信件转投到新家地址。不知道邮局内的信息出了什么问题,说不能投递,竟然把绿卡给退回移民局了。还好我打了电话,要求移民局再次寄给我,结果等了快二十天还没拿到手里。我就在想为什么啊,怎么回事啊,别这么拖着我啊,我六月份还要到英国去呢,没绿卡要增加不少麻烦啊~~等啊等啊,总觉得有什么问题在里面,于是决定去老地址的邮箱里看看,结果还真给我猜中了,邮局把绿卡投到老地址去了,根本没给我们转投邮件!
    真不知道是想哭还是想笑。

    Thanks Giving

    在苏格兰的时候,经历了Thanks Giving,不过因为不是中国的节日,所以就知道有这么个节,也没想着要怎么过的特别一点。同一栋房子的西方舍友很开心的做了大餐吃。
    要不怎么说时间过得真快呢,这一转眼就又是一个冬天了,今天是2006年的感恩节

    身边的动物们

    转眼已经是深秋啦……十月份还下过一次雪,把这个城市的人都“惊喜”了一番。因为十月份就下雪是十几年都没有的事了。
    我说这下布什可有的说了:谁说全球变暖呢?这不十月份就下雪了嘛!说明我们要迈入冰河期了!!
    前几天在阳台的玻璃门上发现了浣熊的爪印,可把我惊喜坏了,因为从来没见过。就看这玻璃门下方有一个特清晰的白印子,说明半夜里这小家伙趴在门外往里面瞅呢,可爱啊~~~想着就觉得特别可爱:P
    Kitty是我们养的猫,不爱往外面跑,估计是怕车,万圣节前我们雕了两个南瓜,就放在阳台上。猫嗅了半天,我就给她拍了个照,还蛮有意境的:)嘿嘿。
    这边的动物很多,鹿,浣熊,松鼠,臭鼬,等等。每次开车在高速公路上的时候,会看到不少小动物的尸体,都是跑到路上被撞死的。奇怪的是大部分都是在路边上,应该是被撞了爬到路边上了,或者是直接撞飞到路边上了。听起来很残忍,不过由于这边的植被覆盖率很高,野生动物数量太大了,也算是帮着淘汰比较傻的个体吧(聪明的就不往路上跑)

    静静生活

    来美国四周多了,时间过得真快。
    昨天和未婚夫在阳台上支起两张躺椅(忘记告诉大家,我订婚了),端着热茶坐在接近零摄氏度的下午。天很晴,没有一丝云,阳光灿烂。他说怎么觉得我说话和行动迟缓,我说是我在休息大脑,过于放松了:p就那么安安静静的躺在阳光里,感觉好像可以这样把一辈子过完。
    晚上看了一部老电影《All That Jazz》,关于一个才华满溢的舞台剧导演的生命的最后一段时间,非常超常规的表现手法。与天使的对话,在幻觉中表现对生命的留恋。不知道怎么描写,感受都在心里了。

    Move to a new life

    飞了十个小时吧,从爱丁堡飞到底特律,加上在机场等待的时间,一共二十个小时没睡觉。
    在底特律的机场提行李的时候,在脚边捡到十美分的硬币一个。Gaining money by arriving,美国真是“遍地黄金的国家”啊 :P
    早上起床,到附近的一家咖啡店,有免费的无线网络,于是在这里占个位子,以留作纪念。
    在这里的第一天,是一个温暖的阴天,秋天开始让树叶变黄,很像乌鲁木齐的秋天,不同的是更湿润一些。
    我正式开始了新的生活。

    在圣安的最后十五天

    我是一个人来圣安的,2005年8月18日入的境。现在静下心来回想,还能感觉到那一天在希思罗机场的日光灯下过夜的感觉,清晰而平静,却有些不真实。从今天到十月一日早晨,我都将是一个人在圣安完成我的closure。一个人离开圣安,就是我的closure。回头看过去的一年,是我经历过的最美好的一年。
    我的梦想会怎样,我不知道,我只知道我将开始新的生活,满心欣喜地。
    关心我去向的人,我想说我十月一日要飞美国了,不要过于担心我,我会照顾好自己,也会照顾好我的生活。
    不关心我去向的人,我想说无论我在哪里,我都还是我,一直都一样。
    网络这么发达,keep in touch 很容易,况且,我会继续写小小的消息在space里的。

    Cars

    The new Disney film 'Cars' is not just a catoon.

    When the life is becoming faster and faster, when going everywhere is more convinient, we lost the old time fun of being slow. Shall we slow down and look into what we have missed? There are plenty of surprised just beside you.

    Back to normal (busy) life

    Now I am back~~

    I have never experienced a trip that made me think while I am having fun.

    It seemed like I couldn't put myself completely into the tour.

    I saw Verena's greatuncle and greataunt. They are both very nice and people of great fun.

    We played dice game together at night and I saw them teasing each other friendly.

    I was thinking: this is the life that I want when I get old.

    I stopped caring about other people's opinion of my life choice: the most important thing, after all, is my own happiness. My own feelings. And it is pathetic to base my own happiness to other people's judgement.

    Now I give myself more freedom to enjoy life.

    And this is pretty much all that I got from the trip of Munich

    Here I am

    很久很久没写字啦
    我此刻在慕尼黑,下周二回圣安
    这趟旅行从阿姆斯特丹到慕尼黑,见了不少好玩的事情
    买了一顶帽子,呵呵,但不好意思戴,一顶冬天的帽子,黑色的,印满了绿色大麻叶子的图案,很可爱,可是在中国戴估计要被警察盘问:p
    阿姆斯特丹真的是一个很有魅力的城市,什么人都有,非常国际化
    在那里的最后一天,在一家很棒的印尼餐厅吃了晚饭,两份炒饭,五个主菜,一共才45欧,比英国便宜好多,最重要的是好吃
    上周五到了慕尼黑,住在朋友家里,她在慕尼黑一家电视台实习,当天晚上去和她的朋友们聚会,点了长岛冰茶,可把我晕的,太醉人了……
    周日参加了一个时装品牌发布会(年轻品牌,不出名),朋友收到了邀请,就把我们都列在VIP名单里,呵呵,食物酒水都免费,我们四个女孩子应该是当天客人里玩的最开心的。走的时候还拿到礼品,那个品牌的T恤,粉红色的,很可爱,开心~~~~~
    周一的时候我就待在朋友家里写论文,她上班
    其实很想圣安了,想回去~~~~~下周二的飞机,在阿姆斯特丹可以买好吃的巧克力,嘿嘿~~~~等着我啊,我要回去了~~~~

    I moved and moved on

    搬家了,从六人的小楼搬到四人的公寓,改地址要通知警察局(中国留学生都是“危险分子”-_-!!),通知银行和手机运营商。最近好像事情特别多,都没好好静下心来做论文研究,每天的时间都过得那么快。
    最近发生了让人想不通的事情,我怎么应该因为跟自己完全无关的人和从来没做过的事而受到责怪呢?
    是我没长大还是责怪我的人太幼稚。拿我当替罪羊,想得太美了吧。

    For Verena

    Dear Verena:
    I know that one day we can meet again and maybe next time you can cook for me:) I like the pork mince and rice in pepper that you made during ELT course.
    Life is short and long. We have enough time to plan for things and enjoy the success we achieved. And most importantly, we have enough time to spend with friends who know us and understand us, who can talk and share feelings with. This is one of the most precious things in our lives. And I am so happy that I met you and we become friends in this way.
    You are an energitic girl and well organized. It is very impresive to me:) I think all those good qualities can lead you to the goal that you are aiming for.
    Wish you everything the best.
    Love,
    Sherry
     
    P.S I like your pictures of your new haircut.

    Misson Imposible 3

    This week was pretty busy~~~~I had one technical assignment and two essay deadlines. And I had a group presentation on Wednsday -- it was good though.
    And yesterday we almost had all essays done~~~~so we went to see a movie. And last night was the opening day of Mission Imposible 3~~~~it was great. Not compicated and fun, typical Hollywood movie. Maggie.Q was so hot in the movie.
    Part of the movie was shot in China. So when I saw those Asian faces I felt that I miss home a bit, not much but I haven't had this kind of feeling for a long time.
    Anyway, it is a good movie for entertaiment. Enjoy~~
