院子落叶 跟我的思念厚厚一叠

最近这几天

12/24/2007
gluttony是天主教中七大死罪的其中之一。当年的但丁写《神曲》的地狱篇时,描述出的惩罚贪吃者的刑法就是让他们受尽雨雪的折磨。这次我在新加坡充分发扬了武松“三碗不过岗”的精神,但逢美食,必要品尝。结果呢,我于圣诞前一天的早上不幸“破相”,嘴上冒出了个大泡泡!!!
我妈和外公外婆今天从泰国飞新加坡。旅行团安排了一天的行程,而我也需要在公司完成圣诞前必要的工作,所以约好了晚上再见面。中午公司圣诞会餐,抽礼物,同事们在爵士乐暖融融的圣诞乐曲声中烘培出过节的心情。我们几个年轻人因为没有家人在这边,就被公司派去陪南海502的船员们吃饭过节。心情很好,因为又要去吃大餐,而且早早就可以下班。
晚上坐shuttle去圣淘沙,当水幕、音乐、激光的音乐喷泉演出结束后,我在人群中看到了外公外婆和我老妈。他们都很精神,这让我很放心。晚上我带他们去了Orchard Road, 就是新加坡最负盛名的乌节路,有点像上海的南京路或是北京的王府井。圣诞节的夜景布置得流光溢彩,淡紫色的街灯漂漂亮亮的悬挂在马路的上方,烘托出一片宁静的夜。巨大的圣诞树摆放在各大商场的门前,金色是高傲的贵族,银色是纯洁的精灵,多种色彩,多种心情。年轻的少男少女头戴圣诞老人帽,手中拿着一罐一罐的飞雪,随时制造些白色圣诞或是打雪仗的气氛。人群中常听见一阵叽哩哇啦,几乎同时摩肩接踵的人群突然分流,仿佛突然间有一座岛、一桩桥屯或是一个水坝。原来是一群人又玩起了喷射飞雪的游戏!
我最喜欢的购物中心TANG的圣诞装饰道出了这个节日的意义:神爱世人,甚至让他唯一的独子进入这个世界,最后死在十字架上,为的就是给人们带来永生。耶稣生日的意义竟然在于他的死。

21

21.
 
A number that divides, categorizes, and remains forever. And the number falls on me today.
 
I'm too calm. I tend to feel very lightly about the significance of birthday, if there is any significance to begin with. It's a special date; but it is also one of the 365 days of my year.
 
I do feel thankful for everyone in my life. You, to a large extent, have made me who I am today. Cliche does it sound like; but this is how I feel from the bottom of my heart. You have made me stronger along my path to my 21.
 
Should I ever mention any names, there will be tons.
 
Thanks! You all are my best presents of my 21.

The Adulthood of the Travelling Me in Singapore - part 1

Shoot! The computer in front of me doesn't let me type in Chinese. Anyways...
 
I'm vacationing in Singapore right now all by myself.
Well, that's sort of an overstatement. At least I'm not with people whom I know before hand. The flight was long. It stopped by San Francisco and Tokyo before landing Singapore. Almost a whole day went by while I was in the air. But who cares? Leaving school behind is absolutely wonderful, especially after an insanely stressful and hectic semester in the Integrated Master in Professional Accounting program.
 
I felt more like a frequent flyer this time. Independent as usual. Maybe a little bit too poise. I shopped for some Shu Uemura products in Narita Airport and felt extremely fulfilling. The fact that I actually try to care about how I present myself in front of others is a big step to adulthood (and to me personally as well). I'm turning 21 in a few days. I want to look beautiful and act gracefully suited to my age.
 
I arrived Singapore at 11:59pm, Friday, Dec. 14. When I passed the custom and claimed my baggage, it was already Saturday. Warm and humid air rushed into my face the minute I walked out of the airport. Dude, this is how the legendary tropical weather feels like.
 
When the car pulled over by the curb, I pleasantly discovered that the driver's seat is on the right-hand side of the car, which means in Singapore people drive on the left side of the road. I've never seen this sight before with my own eyes. It only gets better when I'm in the car observing the driving. My heart jumps when the car makes a left turn into the left side of the road. My own driving experience is telling me "we're gonna crash" but obviously we're just alright :)
 
I spent my first night in Singapore in an apartment and met with Helen and Tracy. Life only gets better from now on.
 
Saturday morning: I was waken up at 5:30am by some very strange, low-pitched sound from a bird I couldn't spot from the 13th floor. Darn it! I'm jet-lagged already and a bird succeeded in ruinning my sleep. Does it really think itself as a rooster? Come on, look at yourself in a mirror before trying to be a rooster when you are obviously not!
 
The first place we hit was Vivo City, one of the newly built shopping malls that is closest to where I reside. Since it is already approaching Chrisitmas, sales are everywhere. Cheerful people filled the whole mall with the upbeat holiday spirits. All the holiday decors put me so into the mood of shopping; fortunately I tricked myself into thinking "this is only my first day in Singapore. there is gotta be more and better." But I do have to say, I'm totally in love with this department store called "TANGS". It has a classic, Renaissance-styled store that make me feel like a princess walking into my palace. Gorgeous place! Oh btw, I had Laksa for lunch, one of the staple food in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I've only had it once down at the food court in the Oriental Plaza in Beijing.
 
Sentosa - the famous island on the southeast coast of mainland, Singapore. We took a train through a bridge to get to Sentosa. There stands the Merlion statue on the top of the hill, overseeing Singapore and its people. The beach consists of very fine white sand. I watched my footprints form as I step into the sand; and the waves will come and smoothen them out. My trail on the sad is forming and unforming with a few seconds apart. Time seems to be the solution to everything. See... every step I take, it is a fresh start. And the wrong path I've walked, the wrong things I've done, the past I've regretted... all can be and will be brushed away by the waves of time. The time might be short like a split second, and it might as well be so long that lines start to appear on your forehead.
 
I found Sentosa even more charming when I accidentally saw my previous colleagues from Lazard Beijing and Hong Kong offices- Helen, Chen Jing, and Sigi with two other Lazard people! I'm in total jubilance! What are the chances of me meeting them in this particular island in this particular country on this particular date? Thanks to Sentosa!
 
When the night falls, we went to Bugis (one of the most popular shopping places) by the MRT (the subway here). There we ate at Seoul Garden, a Korean buffet. This is the first time I've seen a restaurant having something that could BBQ and hotpot at the same time on the stove. I had so much Bulgogi, Kimchi, and kelp soup. I "sarang" (love in Korean) Korean food!
 
Before we even finished eating in Seoul Garden, my jet-lagged body was already exhausted. I dropped dead on my bed around 7pm Saturday and didn't wake up till 6am the next day!

我是拿铁

You are Latte. You are steamy and creamy and well-liked by women.  You are more style than substance.
Which Caffeinated Beverage are You?

我形式大于实质?汗... 晕...

其他的还是蛮喜欢的。再确切的说,我这杯拿铁,应该是由脱脂奶或豆浆加太妃糖坚果的糖浆做成的(toffee nut latte, non-fat milk or soy milk)。

 

小学记忆

我在懵懂中一路向东,东边是大海的方向。大海能带走每条河流,却带不走我深深的乡愁。这就是记录了我生命初始的原生态又孕育了我在那之后一轮生肖年的成长的天津塘沽。

一方水土养育一方人并不尽然。虽然这里的水含氟超标,这里的土盐碱龟裂,但我所认识的这里的人却都还是蛮单纯的。虽然塘沽像其他地方一样有它世俗的一面,但它不是一个弱肉强食的地方。我得益于塘沽的宽容,也从中学会了对人情事故的宽容--

我有去课外班的经历,经历丰富多采却从不带一点儿被迫的成分,因为我一旦不喜欢了,我就是那第一个从课外班获解放的孩子。我兴趣广泛但没有任何特长,大概跟这个有很大的关系。

我并不是一个一直被老师所看重的好学生。我被分在2班,而小学六年下来,我们班是体育年级老大,但学习和纪律都并列最差的班。在这样的班里,我的体育“天赋”被慢慢挖掘出来--我先是参加过两次的60米短跑,最好成绩是年级第六,得了一个汤勺以资鼓励。于是我发愤图强混进了学校长跑队,告别了汤勺的耻辱,换来了近一年的每天20圈×200米跑。后来教练觉得我孺子不可教也,太业余了,没有去区里市里参加比赛的资质,便劝退了我。不过业余的我也有了一段风光的日子,我先后在三次环东沽石油新村的冬季长跑中跑进前二十名,最好的一次成绩是第三。本来应该拿第二的,结果我进了校门一激动,没看清哪儿是终点线,居然被我后头那位抄小道给暗算了。

学习嘛,我一直没人督促,成绩在班上还好,但算不上年级里的数一数二。五年级数学的应用题让我记忆犹新... 它怎么就这么难啊???!!!第一次数学考试下了90分(是89分),我妈也是第一次给我的数学赵老师打电话,我第一次有了“我是差生”的感觉。当时隔一年,六年级升学考试结果公布时,我居然是全校第一名(好像全塘沽区也是第一吧)... 一个好又不是最好的学生居然拿了第一,我想当时老师们的心里一定最有落差吧。要不然为什么我六年小学生涯,只有六年级的期末评语居然全是优点,毫无一丝瑕疵? 这真是”胜者为王,败者为寇“的典型态度。

我是班里的班长、小队长、中队长到最后两年的大队委,但是大队长的职务在当时,是我想也不敢想的。小学四年级就可以评市级三好学生了,可我到六年级才获此殊荣。现在回想起来,我究竟有什么突出惊人的表现被评上了市级,自己特不明白,真挺扯淡的。

在小海鸥艺术团里,我是个不折不扣的一般舞蹈“演员”。一个六年级的“师姐”,却跟四年级的小毛孩们一般个头。当年艺术团从三位又高又漂亮又特有舞感的美女里挑演“黛玉葬花”的人选,我真是羡慕死了她们了。像我这个笨手笨脚身材又差的愣头青,不得把黛玉葬花演成李逵探母了。

在红领巾广播站的日子是最美好的。我先是为每周三的文艺广播做前期准备和编导,后来大家也没计较我的声音是否还可以听,我就兼起了周三广播员的任务。到了六年级中期,我的良师益友杨冀老师给了我一次闪光的机会,让我继任了广播站站长的职务。我喜欢这种实干的工作,记得那年的“元诞”(元旦圣诞)活动搞得十分成功。不过,一直让我偷着乐的不是我当了多大一官儿,而是有一次,在我和其他几位文艺组组员的主打周三广播中,我们竟破天荒的播出了泰坦尼克的主题曲--“我心永恒”。我一直有一种感觉,就是那天听到这首 “My heart will go on”的同学们,在他们的心中,有一盏灯被点亮了。那盏灯就叫做世界。

嗯... 中国天津市塘沽区东沽石油新村海洋石油第二小学--我的启蒙母校。

夜吧

跟陈依伦这个巫婆的第一次见面,我们便去据称为京城最火的CLUB--“MIX”里“堕落”了小半个晚上。

虽然这几年在美国这种光怪陆离之地混着,虽然我的大学在过去的一年被评为“No. 1 Party School”,虽然自己很多的朋友(连我室友也是)都去奥斯汀第六大街的CLUB里狂欢加醉酒,我居然连CLUB的门槛都没迈进过。曾经应邀与许多好友一起去过一个被冠名为“XX活动第X届成员Reunion”,结果公寓里的同学会变成了Jello shots (一种做的跟果冻似的超强劲的酒)、震破耳膜的Hip-Hop、疯狂的群舞(就不形容了)、男女同学(不管认识的不认识的)相互放电的天堂。实在是受不了这种疯狂,再加之自己不到21岁喝酒年龄,又乖到了没有fake ID, 总不想被警察逮到自毁前程,于是中途就溜掉了。

所以我以CLUB与我自己的个性不符、我与朋友CLUBBING感觉奇怪、为了保证我的人身生命财产安全为由,拒绝各种CLUBBING行为,直至昨晚...

跟巫婆出入工体大大小小的CLUB的感觉不同。她是一个要玩得忘记自我可又不放纵的家伙。当她跳上DJ台在众目睽睽之下自我享受、毫不做作地跳舞时,我在舞池里有一种“那是我的朋友,嫉妒吧”的自豪感。

不过说起这些夜吧,还真是什么人都有。

1. 年轻人--不用多说。年轻人来讲究的是“lost in music and dance”。他们常常成群结伙,在舞池里诠释着不一样的青春。

2. 二三十岁的人--可能想让自己暂时忘却那已经慢慢必须担负的家庭、社会等各方面责任 。

3. 男女朋友--唉... 还用我多费口舌吗?真浆糊。

4. 吸烟的人--真是太讨厌了... 十个人里有五个都叼着个烟头,男女都一样。常去夜吧的人,耳聋或得肺癌的机率应该是很高的。

5. 穿着讲究些的人--

男生--很多穿那种特别show肌肉的背心,或是立着领子的polo,或是有些顽皮的西装外带各种样式的帽子。比起肌肉男,会穿衣配帽的男生仿佛更可爱些。

女生--坎袖背心和牛仔裤是犀利的经典搭配;而最近风靡的过腰长衫和泡泡裤,则似乎更加妩媚。再少些布料的... 都快走光了,穿跟不穿又有什么两样呢?

6. 中年男人--最夸张的就是这群人。他们西装革履,他们神色悠然,他们口吐烟圈,他们觥筹交错。他们的旁边年轻MM如云,吧外有专职司机在BMW或奥迪A6里等候。也许是出于公事应酬的身不由己?也许是因为孩子他妈已人老珠黄?也许灯红酒绿的生活真的像抽鸦片一样,那力量能麻醉到人最末梢的神经,使人堕落、萎靡,最后在极度的快乐与痛苦中结束生命这一遭。

这就是我的北京印象之夜吧。
