October 20 秋季夏季隨著中秋的離去,越來越見收斂,
苑裡這個小鎮, 白天熱氣不減, 夜晚的星空卻誠實的道出秋季的到來
我走出門外, 像天望, 火星又出現了........
在歐洲, 只要夜裡, 喝過兩杯微薰回家, 抬頭望, 妳一定可以看到它
May 16 FearMany times I've been pursuing highly paied, sophisticated career. I wish to be developed, be at the top tier, be a leader, and be successful.
Now, an opportunities comes up to me. I surprise myself that I do have fear.
Can I do it? Would it be possible for a non-english speaker to manage such a big task, a huge legal work content? Will I success?
No way out, I have to face my fear deep inside. August 30 總覺得再多的錢也買不到一個人自身的內涵 也買不到人們的敬重, 有的人因為這樣,讓自己永遠失望,讓其他人痛苦 其實, 要求別人時,很多問題都出在自己身上
知識, 教育, 涵養, 一切的價值就在這裡 這是我們這代的幸福, 也許也是本錢 我很幸運 July 03 轉折(原來已經那麼久沒上來更新了, 一直過的太幸福, 還是太忙呢?)
一棒把我打回原形, 鏡子裡, 我還是貧窮的
原來我是抱著夢想前進的人
一些夢想被戳破時, 我什麼都不剩
像沙一樣,散落一地
我閉上眼睛, 哄我騙我, 請再給我一個夢
我想我會從那裡再次站起來 December 08 Sumptuous meal and partyGoing to the Cristmas dinner party held by the Beaker's society is one that's really enjoyable. It was so much different when men were all in black tie, girls were in party dress. Approximately 60 of attendance presented and excellent meals were served. Cheerful elements including party toys, music, nice wine etc. were all included. I had a lot of fun with those scool mates. After this night, I'll give a presentation, for this bit, I could've put myself in hot water and now turn back to worry about it. July 16 口譯員六月份,我應徵了世貿展覽的一個參展公司的臨時口譯. 這個工作沒做什麼,就是翻譯,我一開始還不太敢去,因為總是擔心自己的程度不夠,後來因為薪資實在很高很誘人,就嘗試下去
汽車零件展就如很多大型展覽一樣,有帥車,有辣妹,有高科技的車內液晶螢幕,可是我的公司卻是最傳統的鋁合金汽車零件,高科技的單字一般大學生都很熟,可是傳統工業鑄造,鍛造...等的單字確是第一次接觸...挖,為了不要漏氣,只好提早做功課,就樣高中唸英文一樣,背 單 字, 就是這樣,單字狂背,準備接受挑戰.....展覽,終於開始了!!
雖然我也是破英文,高中時英文成績差點不及格,大學考試也是靠老師提拔....不過唬人的功夫倒是不錯,第一個老外就是澳洲人,我也裝校為流利的跟他翻譯,看到老闆放心的樣子,我就知道,這筆錢賺定了..哈哈哈
當口譯除了賺錢外,還認識很多別的行業的人,有貿易商,電子製造商,代工廠,雜誌社.....各行各業,很新鮮,對質場的角度也更寬廣,那段時間大家一起努力顧攤位的"同袍情誼"也讓最後結束時,感到有一些不捨,當大家相約明年在建,我卻不會再回來了,真是讓我也些惆悵呀...
原來做貿易,英文不用真的頂好,以我看,我自己的程度來做貿易算器來真是太夠用了,生意用的英文不會難,態度好,產品好,最重要...,那些想轉戰商業圈的同學朋友們,不用害怕英文,真的沒有想像的那麼難
用語言賺錢真的好快,起天內賺進萬元的打工真的不多,以後不知道還有沒有機會...ㄏㄏ,還想再給他賺^^
Acknowedgement:
Thank my parants for given me the high-level English ability that has been created since I was young and is continuing making progress via several oppertunities and courses catered from them.
Thank dear Angel for telling me the part-time job and encouraging me to do it. Meanwhile, thanks for picking me up off duty those days which had really been particularly warm to me. March 15 The education of mannersI believe schools would be far better employed spending an hour a week on manners and charms, instead of bangin on about Maths. Looking people in the eye, saying thank you, offering compliments at appreciate moments, giving up your seat to an elderly lady with shopping, the correct manners toward your opponents during a sport game....these topics would be much more useful than most of the stuff on the curriculum. February 20 My futureAlthough the basic research about Bioscience is quite popular in Taiwan nowadays, most of the students and researchers devote themselves to academia. However, making the new scientific breakthrough to be a real valuable product is also vitally important. My subject Biochemical engineering is exactly the study about these affairs, and it will play a crucial role in the foreseeable future.
I am going to work as an engineer in the Biotech industry after studying in the UK, for example, medicine factories, healthy food companies, and cosmetic industry etc. The master course in England will enable me to design and operate the complicated processes, and I will also be able to introduce the contemporary technology from the western world which always provides significant benefits.
Trends toward the globalization of industry have dramatically affected the required qualities of employees. A person with several different experiences, an excellent world view and strong language ability is highly wanted in this society these days. I am trying to qualify my self to be this kind of person, and doing the course in the UK will give me the opportunity to experience the different culture, understand some new ideas, and practice my English. With these qualities and background, I hope I can take a nice position for my career and advance constantly. December 17 命運每個人一生下來,就有命運,有的人生在富裕的家庭,有的人生再需要幫助的環境。窮人羨慕有錢人,有錢人羨慕更有錢的人,更有錢的人羨慕又有錢又有地位的人…..我運氣也很好,生在幸福的家庭,光是教育,我就得到完全的支持，我不事生產,沒有收入,卻一路靠著家裡的支持出國唸書,蒐集’條件’,期望這些條件能為我的將來製造最大的優勢,我想這並不是每個人都能有這樣的際遇的,應該說,大部分人都很難辦到！
但是,我並不滿足,反倒有些貪婪,大學校園時的單純快樂,已經不見蹤影,也許真的是因為環境的因素: 現在我身邊的朋友, 日本的明文君曾是國際收機通訊公司vodaphone的經理級人物,土耳其的阿理肯則是伊斯坦堡有名觀光飯店的公子,非洲的沙林姆在人民都穿草裙的國家開賓士S600,韓裔日本人成孝的父親也擁有一坐溫泉spa旅館,大表哥現是IBM的高新階級,連美麗的表姊也可能將嫁入豪門… 我打從心理,好想跟他們一樣….
因此我真的改變了,我注重語言和溝通的學習,甚至超過學術的專業。我緊張太晚進入競爭的社會,我不甘心未來領固定薪水,埋首花費半生精力於實驗,期待一個機會的出現,讓我找到一絲絲往上爬的空間…認為能衝能吃苦的年代,不就是現在嗎?
於是,我瘦了,若說人終究會老,就從這裡開始。野心使我煩惱,我明知道這不會為我帶來快樂,但還是擋不住被無謂的矇蔽:我好想跟他們一樣!
曾經在軍中因肺炎躺在醫院一整個月,因為肌肉纖維化發炎行動不變數週,那時告訴自己,人只要能健健康康的執起球拍,享受流汗,就是最幸福的了。我現在,好懷念那種感覺……,那是一個什麼樣的感覺呢? December 02 鐵道小鐵橋I like the way where I walk on a mall iron bridge near my house. At the time I went to and came back from school, going across a bridge which is between two sides of the local rail way was a necessarily daily routine, and I thoroughly enjoy in the temporary cheerful time.
As we know, a bridge always be constructed to be relatively higher than the land near by. When I go out, I always walk with my MP3 player, and at the time about 8:00 I went to school or 4:30 I came back, it was about sun rise and sun set which resulted in the bridge be perfectly illuminated and the fantastic view around the bridge.
Walking on the bridge, illuminated by the lovely golden sun beams, ..windy,and reinvigorated from the fresh air with MP3 music.....beautiful! Things around me was just like all for me. The bridge seems like a big stage for me,the main actor in my individual life film, !....such a fantacy!
Although it's just a small iron bridge, it would be one of my best memories in London!!
November 24 課程感言Now I'm going pass an important stage of my life: the course finishes tomorrow. During the period in which my English basis was set up, I've been working hard and I've got significant progress. Although I'm not sure whether my IELTS would get rose or not, I certainly have a clue of that my English is far better than it was, and there're so many sorts of language that I've learnt can be practiced in daily local speaking, not so formal but practical.
I'm not saying that I'm such a good English speaker, but just having some contrasts to myself. I'm so grateful to my parents as they did cater for all the programmes, and that did help.
Making friends from all around the world was one of the best parts here which I'd never imagined I could when I was just a high school student. They are wonderful!
It's so sad that I'm gonna leave the school and my friends, and it is stoping the course that make me feel insecure because I'm affraid of lossing the ability. The last-day depression is just a classic for me!
However, I think I'll take another course down the line, continuing work on English, and I'm planning to head for Japan someday.
I ought to always look at the bright site and kick the sadness off, then I'll be able to get through the hard time under the horizon.
November 13 仰望星空雖然倫敦的天氣總是不好,不過這幾天晚上一直有清澈的天空可以看星星,比起台灣,在倫敦光害真的少多了,仰望天空,點點星光,空氣雖然冷,卻有另一種浪漫的舒坦...
火星,這個月運行至近日點,天空中火紅耀眼的星就是它,在古代,它被稱之為"焚惑",前幾天的"火星衝",也就是太陽,地球,火星,連成一直線,古代又稱"焚禍守心". 宋景公時,焚禍守心,於是招子韋問之,子韋告訴他這是帝王將崩逝的凶兆,但是他有辦法把這個大劫轉給宰相,人民,或農作收入..,結果景公說寧可自己受劫,也不能禍連百姓!
對我來說,火星是我最喜歡的一顆星,第一次見到他,是在英國倫敦,在入伍前,耀眼火星也給予我和關心我的她短暫的快樂時刻,再次見到火星,我又來到英國,焚惑在我的現在,在我的未來,似乎燃燒著我夢想的火焰..
我也看到了剛從地平線升起的獵戶座,這個非常有名的冬季星座,除了兩顆知名的巨星外,腰帶附近的M42大星雲也是科學家觀察的重點之一,他是由氫氣和塵埃所組成,中心高熱發光,天文學家在這裡發現到許多原始恆星正在行程的證據,所以,如果你明白它正在孕育星辰、製造太陽的話，你可能會更感興趣的多看它一眼.....
November 10 十一月回國潮接近一年的尾聲,學校很多同學都要回國了,想想再過兩個禮拜,這些一起去pub的朋友就都沒了,還真是捨不得!!
講到這裡,我得說我真的覺得亞洲人真的都比較團結,那些歐洲學生真的都不參加什麼social的!感情當然好不起來...
這些朋友都是我無形的資產,真的要好好保持聯繫!! 希望有機會在日本或韓國再一起喝一杯! November 06 寫作In Mandarin, writing was one of my serious problem in school, especially in elementary school; hopefully, I got through it. However, I've never feel confident of English writing.(I wrote it in English because some of my friends can't read chinese) I try hard practising and hope to get a little progress. This weekend I've got a writing homework, which is verry verry difficult as I see it. The topic has been shown below:
Write a tacful, formal letter.
You are a head teacher writing to the parents of a badly-behaved teenager.
The parents are very rich and donate large amounts of money regularly to the school.
In this situation, I've got to be extremely careful about my words and structure, using formal language, understatment, positive vocabularies, and impersonal constructions. But, another difficulty is that I've got no idea of what the student has done, which is considered to be a bad vehavior. I need to create them!
That is really a tough work for me, and even makes me spend ages thinking of the first sentence. Gosh, I really hope that we all can just speak one language. No way can I ever write a formal, tactful article. October 21 24號公車Oh my God, No way did I want to spend age waiting for a bus. It was bus 24 which made me almost be frozen when I was waiting!
After playing badminton in the club, I went to a bus stop as usual. There is only one route of buses from Victoria Station, the nearest station from my badminton club, can go toward where I am living in --- Camdon. This only one is bus no.24, as a result, I need to take it everytime when I'm back from there.
I stood at the bus stop, and there was a homeless sitting beside the stop.
"Any changes?please" he repeated. I was just waiting for the bus 24,and didn't have a glance at him. Few minutes later, no bus had come, and I glanced at the homeless. He looked at me.
Another 10 minutes later, there was still no bus. I had a glance at him. He looked at me.
And, after next 10 minutes, I was still standing there while I was annoyed with long-time waiting. This time I gave him a stare with anger, and he might understand people who have been waiting for a long time are rather aggressive, so, no longer did he have any look at me.
By the time I got on the bus 24, I'd been standing at the 10 degree C horrible bus stop for well over 40 minutes. Gosh! now I'm quite disillusioned with London Public Transport! October 11 松鼠吃什麼It sounds ridiculours when a squirrel eats concrete pieces, and it happend few days before.
Lotus, my sister, was trying to lure this squirrel by feeding him peanuts after I told her that I'd seen it going around out of my window. At the beginning, we throw peanuts among 10cm far away, observing the behaviour of the squirrel. As I expected, he came and ate it. However, when Lotus held peanuts to feed him, which means the squirrel had to pick the peanuts up from her hand, he looked quite suspicious and walked discreetly around her hand. Finally, he gave up because there was a more attractive object beside him; A small concrete piece.
Surprisingly,he started to eat it at the time we were looking at him. We stood at the window untill he had chewed this piece all. Well, maybe that's a kind of evolution!??
October 09 回來兌現永恆的承諾40,000Km....It is Survival and Greatest Challenge
-----LE PEUPLE MIGRATEUR
隨著倫敦逐漸轉入冬季,這兩個禮拜的早晨,我常常可以看到雁鴨排成倒V字型,咿咿啞啞的飛過我家的上空!從今天起,她們將要飛越兩萬多公里,到南方去過冬!
我在這裡仰頭看,只能看見她們快速飛過的身影,她們的角度,看到的是大地的輪廓.身旁的雲朵.還有浩瀚的遠方!我在原地,目送她們,在心理為她們祝福,我知道,無論多遠多困難,她們都會排除萬難回到這裡
法國導演Jacques Cluzaud拍過一部紀錄片,叫做LE PEUPLE MIGRATEUR,幾年前在台灣的各大戲院上映過,片中紀錄著候鳥遷徙的真實情景,我覺得非常有意義..(我有跟昀萍去看過,門票還不便宜)
"每隻後鳥的背後,都有她自己的故事"--Jacques
歷經艱辛,飛越高山.海洋.沙漠,面對惡劣天氣.危險環境...她們目標永遠不改變,
明年的春天,樹梢發綠芽時,她們將會準時的回到原來的地方,倫敦人會再度見到這些成功返航的老朋友
"回來兌現永恆的承諾"--這部片結尾下的注解
人與鳥類,有多少距離?我想,一個人不論經歷多漂泊的旅程,心理迷失了,最終都想回到一個屬於自己的"家",這是人類的本能吧,我也是個旅人,雖然我的旅程還沒結束,但我心心念念回家的那一刻.
有一天我也和這些雁鴨一樣,會回去 兌現永恆的承諾!
我與候鳥沒了距離,如果有幸見到回來的她們,能相視而笑吧....
Acknowledgement:
Le Peuple Migrateur 真的是一部很好的紀錄片,隨然早已下擋,但朋友們如果有看到哪裡有在賣它的DVD,我贊成花錢買下來,這是對他們的一種支持,感謝導演及工作人員
Angeline學妹的暱稱激發我一連串的連鎖思緒,找尋旅行的意義.....
旅行的意義是什麼?
我的答案會是這個標題,就如同候鳥一樣,雖然從沒有說出口,行動卻履行了不變的執著,....雖然沉默,你我卻清楚明白:-)
October 08 最可靠的聲音雖然電影"地下鐵"早已下擋,但是到最近退伍後,才真正有機會欣賞這種簡單詮釋愛情而卻能引起共鳴的好作品!
"雖然我看不見,可是妳的聲音,是我覺得世界上,最可靠的聲音!" 這句話講到我心理,雖然我也是重視外表的人,這些日子來,卻不也是在找一個值得信賴,與我契合的聲音! 我想不只是外在的聲音特質,這包含了令人認同的內在吧!
有時候,眼睛看不見的人,才是把事情看的最清楚的人........ "閉上眼睛,就能看到最想看到的人" 我現在閉上眼睛,去找找那個人了!
(滑鼠滑過上片的方塊會有背景音樂..........按Esc停止) (acknowledgement:方塊裡面的model是在下的姊姊,網志運行至今她提供了技術指導級美術支援,在此致謝,來往過客可以透過我的連結到"愛再傾訴蔓延時.....我不是歸人,我是馬"瀏覽她的網頁) October 02 小孩子我讀書的位置是在廚房的窗邊，偌大的玻璃窗下，我能夠清楚的看見窗外的情景，當然，在內外光差相近時，外面的人也很容易看到我。 最近傍晚的時候時常有一群小朋友在屋外玩滑板，一如往常的我都會坐在窗邊，他們每天都會對我招手，我也會招手回應。 不過有一次我看見了瘋狂的舉動：她們的大人竟然開著車子讓小孩抓著滑，這種是在台灣應該是會被罵死吧，畢竟台灣人最忌跟小朋友玩一些危險遊戲！上次在primrose hill我也看到了另一招所謂的危險遊戲，就是大人抓著小孩的兩個腳踝，然後轉圈做離心機運動，玩的好開心阿！ 怪不得, 外國人比較容易掛掉。 |
