May 25 新手机到了May 24 开车今天,我很高兴,因为我居然开车from Hornsby to Campsie.路途中,我犯了很多严重错误。第一,并线不打灯,而且是在on the road with 70KM limit per hour;第二,敢闯红灯,黄灯在前,我前面的车冲过去了,我也没踩刹车。将近1小时的车程,我很兴奋,但一休的嗓子喊哑了。Sorry for him.我说我在限速70KM路上一点不紧张,他说我是“傻大胆”。 Repeated SubjectFriday morning, Emily asked me whether I have been busy lately because I seldom bother her on MSN that I used to do while I was very free in working. Yes, I have or sort of. There is nothing stop coming when I sit at my table every morning, something urgent, something annoying, something stupid..... most of time I have been occupied to fix issues caused by those bloody reckless action made by some colleagues. Sorry, I don’t intentionally complain someone, but nasty thing could make you lose your patience and get on drugs. I would say, the bigger company, the more issues could come up, and we have to spend a lot of extra energy to cope them. I said thousands of F word loudly Friday, so did my colleagues in the same team as we have been put on tremendous pressure on the hearts recently. Excuse me, I reckon I should stop this meaningless whinging about work. But you know, the fact is that you could be easy to feel fatigue or worn out by those impenetrable problems, then no mood to do something else you really want to do after work. It sucks. So my reading Twilight is going on so slowly, which isn’t like my style in front of an amazing book. Not like Tell Me Something that was read previously, I couldn’t have any resistance to close it once open it. Before going to sleep, it was with me; opening the eyes on the weekend, it was first touch. Guess what? I almost missed getting off the train when that book reading was nearly ended up only a few pages left as I was on the train, but it would sound ridiculous if I didn’t get out of the train just for those a few pages although I really couldn’t put it down. Then I tried to stay at Hornsby train station to finish it but it was freezingJ. BTW, I have a habit to read book on the train to kill the time, so many of books were finished on the train. However, I can’t completely do it with Twilight nowadays because I always feel drowsy no matter when it is on the way to office in the morning or go back home at night. I can’t absolutely attribute it to tiring jobs, but partially winter sleepiness. Or my blunt and slack thinking might come along with cold weather.
As if there are no more than 3 subjects in my daily life----Shopping, Books, DVDs, or babbling about my work. It is so boring, isn’t it? How about you? May 17 Attending Wedding in a ChurchTo me, it is the first time to attend a wedding in a church, so I have expected it with numberless curiosity and excitement after I got I will be a guest in a church wedding.
Hunters Hill Congregational Church is not as quite big as my expectation, but it looks so nice and fully religious both outside and inside. I am caught at once by those windows with Jesus’ picture as I step in, then grand ambience immediately embraces me. Rows of benches are laid spotless and trimly, and there is a Holy Bible at the end of each bench. In the forefront of church, you can see a big pipe organ to wait organist to play. The whole physical environment is so quiet magnific, but I would say spiritual environment will be more unforgettable. See below.
About 3:00PM, the wedding starts accompanied with the bridal chorus and bride walks in linked with her dad’s arm. You can see happiness on bride’s face and she knows she is going to meet her husband-to-be and open a new page in her life. Priest Peter processes statement of marriage as girl and boy both stand in front of him. Surprisingly enough, then Peter’s wife Regina sings a song You Loved Me while Peter is playing the piano. Wow! Unbelievable, what a shocker! The priest can play piano and his wife has so beautiful sound! “You loved me when you spun the stars into motion…….” Afterwards, it is scripture reading made by some guests, which can convey God’s voice. Then Lord ’s Prayer comes, under priest’s leading, all of people pray together,” Our father who art in heaven, hallowed by your name, your kingdom come…….” The procedure of wedding is going on step by step, Minister’s Talk, Marriage Commitment, Parental Blessing, Candle Ceremony, Wedding Vows, Exchanging of Rings…….In these courses, I am very amazed candle ceremony and particularly moved by wedding vows. Candle Ceremony is divided two moves. First step is done by mums who are on behalf of both side families to ignite the candles, which symbolize two families thrivingly exist. Then new couple jointly ignite a new candle, that means a new family commences. No doubt that Wedding Vow is the most vital and divine part of the weeding. I believe all of guests get touched when we listen to a pair of wife-and-husband-to-be commit they will be kind and love each other, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do their part……As a witness, I constrain my tear not shed, and strongly feel Love Vow is so meaningful for a new couple. At that time, I feel as if I can see God. The new couple are married in the sight of God. It is not just an agreement, but a covenant designed by God in which he wants to be partner in their relationship. God is the one who will enable you to learn to live as great lovers, people who will know the joy and security of a lasting relationship. OMG! I will be potentially a Christen one day.
It is really an unforgettable church, an unforgettable vow, an unforgettable wedding.
May 14 Vampire Love StoriesBy the chance of shopping night, I went to K-Mart to purchase TWILIGHT series, had thought to buy total 4 books including the other 3---Eclipse, New Moon and Breaking Dawn when I was amazed by better price in K-Mart than Angus and Robertson, but a bit doubt about not the ability to afford total cost once but also the interest on the books, because I just head bunches of how fascinating the books are, never personally read it. To get out of the struggle whether buy all or only one, I walked to a female shop assistant to ask how many stocks left to see how popular they are and how much of opportunity to get the rest a few days later if I just buy the first book today. Guess what? After she got I am very interested in vampire love story, she was so cordial to start to recommend me some other vampire love story books that are released before Twilight series. The foremost series are HOUSE OF NIGHT----Marked, Betrayed and Chosen, then subsequent ones VAMPIRE ACADEMY----Frostbite, Shadow Kiss and Blood Promise(BWT, the forth book will be released soon). She told me that her sisters and friends extremely love them and all of them read all three series. You know what? She actively wrote down all books’ name. Wow! amazing! sounds like such wonderful books. It would be huge regret if I didn’t buy them. Already, I bought Twilight as my start on the road of reading vampire love stories.
Okay, if you want to join our group to be vampire love story fans, I suggest you to buy books at K-Mart where has relatively cheaper price than other book shops, more importantly, you can find other series that I mentioned above. May 13 FrozenI have been frozen for a while or longer, not my body hit by winter weather, but also brain, limbs.....except stomach.:-) Since I forgot to take off the keys from the door lock last time, my rusty thinking hasn't been back on track, keeping in slow response, bad memory, and recoiled imagination even I don't know how long this kind of languorous life will go on. Less-concentrated ability terribly prevents me from doing a thing with all my hearts for 10 minutes, no matter how interesting it is. Gossip news on internet can’t catch my eyes over 5 minutes, Chinese DVDs can’t keep me in front of TV more than half an hour, favourite books can’t attract me any more……when I focus on something for a few minutes, a sudden whim to do something else could drag me to somewhere, I turn to easily feel revulsion at most of stuff and instinctively refuse many activities. I have to admit previously internal serenity has gone instead of fickleness. What’s worse, I lightly fall fatigue especially in the couch, maybe you can’t believe I could be drowsy at 9:00PM when I watch funny TV show as if the grogram is kind of irresistible hypnosis way however I went to bed after 11:00PM before. That’s the fact that I have been frigging busy at work while government and corporations are trying to spend money as much as possible by financial year, their demand of LCD (I am in charge of planning) is far beyond our forecasting, then it is really headache to get our quantity allocation from headquarter while suppliers announce in short supply they may of have a trick to increase price then. One side, we have to meet customers’ requirement, on the other side, we have to struggle with those supply issues. But I don’t reckon it could affect my life, because I always insist that work is work, personal life is personal life. In most case, I am proud of I can clearly make separation of on-the-job and off-work, so there is no link between my work and recent scatterbrained symptom. May 03 The same time of 2003目前猪流感在蔓延,使我想起了2003年SARS,那是在我出国前…..
2003年4月,当时的SARS在北京闹得很恐怖,我每天只要走出家门,都是口罩不离口,公司里所有的人都戴着口罩,于是上千人的公司,看上去白花花的一片,由于当时的恐慌,所以没有一个人觉得好笑,而是经常被检查口罩是否合格,体温是否正常。后来因为疫情的加重,我们变成倒班,就是一天公司上班,一天在家上班,听起来好像挺舒服,但空气中的紧张让每个人在家也没觉得太轻松。当时我们人力资源部,成立了公司非典小组,VP亲自挂帅,每天了解全公司人员和家属的状况,并向全公司通报,疑似,体温不正常,咳嗽……自己作为非典小组的一员,感受着人生的第一次这种经历。
好像在4月底的某一天晚上,一休突然打来电话,说他一同事疑似,于是和那人曾接触的8人刚刚接受防疫站的检查,随后需要在家隔离。我的脑子炸了,一片空白,紧张,加倍的紧张。不过,一休还好,检查完,没有发现任何不正常。这种情况,我必须向公司汇报,回复就是我也不用来公司上班了。好,在家呆着吧。当天晚上,我们家连续接到一堆电话,什么海淀区防疫站,街道防疫站,小区居委会,某派出所…..反正没消停,他们要求我们不要出门,随时汇报体温。而且小区居委会说了,他们会给我们送吃送喝,让我们千万别出家门。天啊,一休只是和疑似曾经有过接触,我们只是在家隔离,我不得不佩服中国的高效率,在几个小时之内,全北京只要和我们家相关的各级组织,已经完全掌握了我们的状况,理解万岁吧。大概凌晨1点左右,我们被电话再一次惊醒,是街道派出所!他们再一次跟我们询问同样的问题,重申同样的事情,我火了,真的火了,于是在电话中非常愤怒,告诉他们这样折磨我,是精神的摧残,我们需要休息,如果再这样,我不能保证什么事情发生。他们害怕了,使劲安慰我,因为他们怕我真的走出家门,在他们眼里,可能这比一精神病患者的出走更可怕。但是清晨5点多,我开始觉得不舒服,一量体温,37.2度,我的体质一直不好,被这一折腾,有些受不了。还好,38度才是警戒温度。
第二天早上,另我吃惊的是,我们家门口已经有个保安守着了(我们家住一楼,能看见),10点多,一全副武装的阿姨拎着一大堆吃的到我家门口,放下东西,走后3分钟,给我们打来电话,告诉我们吃的东西已经放到我们家门口了。哈哈,管吃管喝的日子开始了,天天向各级组织汇报体温的日子开始了,当然不能出家门的日子也开始了。可我的体温开始忽上忽下,但总在38度以下(不好意思,当时我欺骗了组织,没有向上级汇报我的真实体温,而是一律36.5度)。5月初,那是北京的大好日子,看到外面的人都短衫短裤,可我在家还穿着羽绒背心,过着不见阳光的日子。对了,一休在家每天欢蹦带跳的,人家疑似还没确诊,疑似的接触者还没发烧,我紧张得低烧不退。就这样,我在家低烧了2周,躺了2周。记得中间有一天,某一级组织询问我们的状况,我说,我想去外面走走可以吗?答案是absolutely no,我说,那我回我父母那住可以吗?他们说,可以,但不许再回来。我听完回答后疯了,什么?他的意思是,可以去其他小区,只要不在他们的管辖内。天啊,也就是,如果我真的有SARS,可以带给其他小区,只要不在他们控制内,真是官僚透顶,无语。当然,我没有出家门一步。对了, 当中有一天,我婆婆偷偷来到我们家,看望我们,她实在不放心。但她不能被我们小区发现她和我们有过接触,否则她也要被隔离,于是悄悄地进村,悄悄地出城,呵呵。在婆婆的鼓励下,有一天晚上,周围的人都休息了,我偷偷走出家门,在楼附近溜达了两圈,算是呼吸了新鲜空气。
不过,我们每天做着一件很重要的事情,就是随时询问一休疑似同事怎样了,如果他不被怀疑了,我们就解放了,但一直没好消息。大概5月13日或更晚,好消息传来,一休同事疑似接触,人家已经高高兴兴出院了。我们马上和各级组织联系,告诉他们这一好消息,申请马上批准我们出家门。其实,如果那人解除疑似,相关组织会马上接到通知的,只是我们比他们更着急罢了。结果是,他们还没收到通知,于是我们还需要在家隔离。苍天啊,人家都外面耍了,我们还这被圈着呢,岂有此理。大概过了两天,我们终于接到通知,可以自由出家门了,保安也撤了。记得我第一天正式走出家门,听到邻居说,“咿?她怎么出来了?隔离解除了?”唉,看来,邻居都知道了,还好我终于可以大摇大摆地走在马路上了。将近3周,那不是人过的日子啊!
什么是非典?我明白了;什么是非典疑似?我清楚了;什么是非典隔离?我是真真地体会了。一直想把这段经历记录下来,知道今天,swine flu pandemic makes me recall that period experience again. |
