巴黎印象

Ah B搬到伦敦去工作。

我去伦敦找他时，他还没到过巴黎。

我离开伦敦，离开巴黎之后，他去了一趟巴黎。

后来‘大哥’去伦敦找Ah B， 回来后问我对巴黎的印象。

‘大哥’告诉我Ah B说去了巴黎就会知道我们的国家有多可爱。巴黎脏，乱， 没有人情味。浪漫之都是骗人的。

我只在巴黎待了24小时，脑海中的巴黎只有凯旋门， 罗浮宫和巴黎铁塔。

还有这个。。。

巴黎市民是这样停车的。
在这里如果这样停车，我不知道后果会是怎样。。。

我没办法评论巴黎的好坏，因为24小时真的太短。我只能客观的说巴黎是一个历史丰富的城市。

或许我应该高兴我没有足够的时间看见巴黎的丑陋。我会记得看见巴黎铁塔的感动。。。

Aaarrrggghhhh~!!!

I don't really have time to update my blog recently.
Have been working very hard. I wonder whether all the hard work will pay off at the end?

I have been asking this question again and again, but I still think it's worthy to write it down again. (To show my anger)
Why is that bilingual in Chinese and English so much inferior compared to bilingual in other languages like Korean and Chinese or Japanese and English?
We are all doing the same things (or maybe more than they are doing), but why are we being treated so differently?
Why is that people will just see a Chinese speaker, who can also speak Japanese, English, Malay, Cantonese, not as good as a native Japanese, Korean or English speaker?

Can somebody give me a good answer?

P/S I wanna write this in Chinese but this is R's PC and it doesn't have Chinese input set up.

爱情这玩意儿

礼拜天参加了YP的婚礼。很高兴ROM这么多年了，她终于可以披上婚纱，漂漂亮亮的接受亲友的祝福。
当她在大胆的在台上大声说出她的爱的宣言时，我有一种快哭出来的感动。
好一个美丽的结合。

今天有一个朋友跟另一个朋友分手。我不知道他们是不是真的下定了最后决心，但是几年的感情，几天内说断就断， 让我有点不敢相信。是不是我老了，跟不上年轻人的作风？
好一个让我措手不及的结果。

新闻说新加坡每年有超过20000人结婚，每天也有20对夫妇闹离婚。
在这个我一双关节炎萝卜腿赶不上的时代，男女间的感情是不是只是呼之则来，挥之则去的关系？

Welcome on Board~!

Moon is coming over to join us at the 'so far so good' United Nations pirate ship (gosh... the name is so long).

I cannot roll red carpet to welcome her so this entry is for her.

So to Moon, I am so happy that you are finally going to take over China. China is so important so great you must treat it like it's the most precious thing on earth.

I hope you enjoy your new role and your new VIP window seat.

As for me, I think I can finally plan for a short break.

Thank you very much!

After me, Moon is yet another conrad from Animal Farm hopping over.

However, this is not the exciting part. What excited me is the turnover rates of Animal Farm. I suspect it hasn't reached its peak yet...

Whatever will be, will be...

Captain C has left United Nations Pirate Ship to be with his Kawaii girl friend.
Captain C has always been a good leader and friend. He is dependable as a leader and fun to hang around with as friend. For 3 1/2 years, I don't remember seeing him throw his temper to anyone.
As a leader, he almost scored perfect.
Now that he's gone, everybody is feeling lost. The first day without him, I've already received messages from other crews telling me they miss him.

The ship is going to be headed by 大长今. So far she has been quite a nice and gentle person.
What worries us is the influence Obasan 长今 has on 大长今.

Are we going to be a 长今 colony, or we will continue to lead a happy life on board?
Let's wait and see..

天涯海角

好几年前看过一部香港电影叫“天涯海角”。患有血癌的女主角在人生的最后来到了“天涯海角”。 看过这部电影的人或许跟当时的我一样很想去一趟“天涯海角”。幻想那是一件多么浪漫的事。
有多少人会记得年少时许下的无数痴狂的梦？
前几天读了杂志-姐妹才知道原来剧中的“天涯海角”就是苏格兰的Isle of Skye。
我到了Skye却不知道自己就在“天涯海角”…

P/S 即使没有电影，Skye也绝对是一个令人陶醉的小岛…

My Long Vacation - Part II

Ok, after almost 1/2 month, here I am again to share something to you about my journey to Europe.

The weather wasn't very good when we were in Scotland. It was all rain for the first two days. On the third day morning, my mood was as gloomy as the weather when our B&B host told us that according to weather forecast, the weather wouldn't get any better. However, I guess lady luck just wouldn't want us to miss the beauty of Skye. When we came out from Dunvegan Castle, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.

This is one of my favourite views throughout the journey. Loch Dunvegan, where Dunvegan Castle stands.

The weather forecast was wrong for the day we were in Skye but was quite right for the rest of our journey in Scotland.

This is the view of Royal Mile, Edinburgh from the window of Starbucks cafe. We were all wet on our way up to Edinburgh Castle dued to heavy rain we decided to get a cup of hot coffee/tea at Starbuck after the visit to the castle, and at the meantime tried to get our clothes and shoes dried.
