11月5日 行踪交待篇这篇依然和台湾游记没关。。(被巴 最近遇上了雨季,几乎每天都下雨。其实这样的天气正好,和平时炎热的天气比较起来显得很凉快。当然也因为这的关系,下雨的上班早晨都会严重堵车,真的很烦人。(尤其是快迟到的时候 ) 最近升值加薪,工作量当然提高了。每天都会有指定的时间要去开会,上庭,然后回到事务所继续忙。这种生活其实还挺舒服的。老板当然也看见我辛苦,特别的也为我安排多一位秘书,所以啊,在下目前有2位 今天和老板开会,提到关于明年可能有家中国公司会来马来西亚投资房地产,要是落实的话,可能需要派一位律师去北京公干一个月;结果,给予事务所内都是女生的关系,而且都是已婚妈妈,而且能说一口流利的大陆腔中文也别无人选了,所以。。。。。。。。本人被要求去北京公干 (是好事吗?)当然这是老板的预期安排,到时候计划也可能会有所改变,不过要是真的把我丢到北京去,那不就没人看守事务所了吗???那我的facebook怎么办?我的开心农场和餐城怎么办?中国好像也不能噗浪,那我不就要和我的生活圈子断截了吗?(原来,我想的都是玩。。。哈哈哈) 嗯,不过要是真的送去北京,也不错啦。(正经) 这周末要出席律师公会的晚会,因找不到伴侣出席,决定一个人去凑热闹。话说晚会的西装我都还没时间去买呢。。 最近迷上速水もこみち代言的Edwin牛仔裤,尤其是503 New Edge和Blue Trip最令人心动。可是大马的Edwin门面都没有进货!!!这是什么一个情况啦?结果决定1月份再次回到台北的时候去补货。(还敢说台北,上一次的游记都还没写完!) 不过真的很赞啦。速水もこみち,因为你,我爱上了Edwin。嗯。又要败家了。 老妈说雨季会持续到11月中,看来还有一段时间了。听朋友说上海这周6可能会回暖,所以啊,上海的各位记得看好天气才出门哦,尤其是那位身体比较弱的,记得要多穿点。 好啦,行踪报告完毕,明天依然是开会,上庭,会事务所忙去,下班可能去和朋友小喝一杯吧。周末啊,你是我最好的避难所。 方语录:『再忙,也要歇一歇看看自己。』 10月1日 Life, like a game of RPGBack in 2005, I wrote something in my previous Blog. Looking back at
it today, it reminds me of how much I've gone through; yet how little
that has changed. And I still couldn't believe myself that I actually tied the analogy of gaming and relationships into one. Kudos to you Brandon, it just goes to show that philosophies can grow even when you're having a great time playing console games. An extract of what I wrote on Saturday, March 12, 2005:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were characters of a video game, and we were happily holding hands. The player playing the game was a kid, And he wants to reset the game. I looked at you, and; You gazed back at me as if you wanted to tell me something. Yet your voice slowly disappeared along with the darkness…….. I never found an answer in that dream. I never knew what you wanted to say…..” I always enjoyed RPGs. The point that the stories in RPGs are so perfect and wonderful, it makes me wanting to be a character in the game. If there is at all any mishap along the game, all we need to do is reset it and load back. Life, Is not a game. You can’t load from a save point. Ironically, in many situations, life is just a like a video game. You gain experience from everything you encounter, you become wiser every time you fall. You socialize with people, learn from them, understand them, and fall in love with them. Yet, We can only anticipate what is in front of us, and not walk back what we left behind. Many times, we wished that what we do today, can change what that has happened yesterday. To refurbish what we regret doing, and not doing. Disdainfully saying, what we do today, can only change what we shall encounter tomorrow, and not yesterday. Sometimes, I wish I was a character of a game. A least then, everything would have an happy ending… Like a game…..

I still can't believe it's been that long.. Not bad for a 20 year old kid right? Picture from luckyjackie 9月25日 25日的25岁回国的第10个月,9月25日的这一天, 原来我已经25岁了。 『呼~终于写完了』 9月21日 被期待的100%好男人今天又如往常般的,我又和熟悉的那对小情侣一起混日子了。 很多时候在一段感情附加上很多的条件要求,这个枷锁只会让人遗忘了当初爱的初衷。 假如你对对方抱着过于的期待,到头来对方都无法实现的时候,你只会一次又一次的感到失望,而失望的尽头就会放弃,最终还是分手告终。 简单的说, 要是对方对家务没什么心得,而你本来就不会对他抱着什么期待;要是有一天对方突然把家务都理得井井有条,那种喜悦感不是难以言喻吗?反而,要是你从一开始 设定好对方的的表现是理所当然的,是存有的必备条件,那最后你不就只能不断的失望吗? 所以, 一段感情,还是少点条件要求,多点用心交流。 不管你对女友还是男友抱着一定的期待,希望你别把那个期待当作是理所当然。 因为一个人不会因为开多了一个条件,而找到真爱。
2月18日 英国你好吗?英国你好吗? 坐在写字台上看着以前上法律课时的资料,突然一股怀念的感觉 涌了出来。还记得第一天踏入英国国土的时候,纽卡的天气阴暗寒冷,让人感觉毫无生气。踏上国外留学的旅途的我,那一刻非常的想家。家里的温暖,家乡的美食,还有熟悉的脸孔如今已经不再。不过我告诉我自己,人,是要学会适应环境的,我能的,我一定会考上的,一定会凯旋而归的。
只有纽卡才有的Club Music,只有纽卡才看得到那种Party的感觉,如今已经找不到了。英国Greggs难吃的Sausage roll (可是还是常常吃。。 ) ,Argos便宜的电器,还有Grainger Market便宜的蔬菜水果,都是令人怀念的。 以前上学经过Starbucks,都会要一杯Skinny Ice Vanilla Latte.一边拿着一边往学校的路途走去。在纽卡的生活,在我不知不觉中变成了一种习惯。纽卡见证了我本科毕业,见证了我踏入英伦法律界的第一步,考入BVC,一切都发生在纽卡。好想念以前在图书馆过夜,和同学一起 坐在教室里讨论课业的日子。偶尔,大伙还会在讨论后一起去Tyne River 的Pitcher and Piano喝一杯,然后大谈家里的一些琐碎事情。 还记得和朋友到处旅行,一起走上了探险的路途(hahahaha),有一次和朋友到Liverpool去,结果迷路了,转来转去结果看到一间叫‘小辣椒’的中餐馆。当时饿得不行了就进去吃了个晚饭。过后才知道原来那家小辣椒还挺有名的!一些只有在巧遇之下发生的事情经常在我的旅途中出现,老天爷还真挺眷顾我的。(呵呵)
从纽卡到伦敦,反复的两个城市来回已经成为一个习惯。3几个小时的路程本应该觉得很疲倦的,不过每次往伦敦出发时心里总是带着期待。其实往伦敦上庭已经渐渐成了一个借口(我还是有上庭的啦!),因为我期待的并不是上庭的那一刻,而是能和女友相见。 因为课业繁忙,加上我们相隔两个城市,我通常都必须在周末抽空北下去陪陪她,因为隔空相恋很容易起口角所以得过去好好相处咯~。不过如今已经没机会再搭上往伦敦那个3个小时火车了。而我和女友的距离也从两个城市变成了两个国土。如今看回以前搭火车而收集下来的车票,一叠叠的在一旁,成了我每一次旅途的回忆。 4年的法律旅程,让我结识了不少一路陪伴着我,协助我的好朋友。谢谢大家一直以来的照顾,虽然我们如今分割在不同的国土上,不过只要我们还是同在一个蓝天下,我们一定还会再会吧? 8月9日 Panasonic Lumix DMC - TZ15
昨天到The Curve, Damansara看北京奥运开幕典礼,途中经过相机专卖店看到了我一直想要买的TZ15,而且还在做促销。。额,买下来了,结果还是狠心买下来了。 新的Lumix DMC TZ15..10倍放大功能,HD录影,I.A模式,还有28mm Wide Leica Lens...送2GSD卡,相机包,三脚架和保护膜。。忍不住还是买了。 价格还算行,而且有了这台‘Point and Shoot'相机,就算不想拍照也可随意拍拍几张,总比拿起我的SLR轻松多了! 后记:加上这次的三脚架,一共有4个了 (太多啦。。。),可是一直想要的Monfrotto架子一直没买,算了反正3个是送的。今天试用了,觉得还行,反正Digi Cam是不能和SLR相提并论的,不过没有的随意选择AF Point,还是有点不习惯。。也许这就是为什么我还是比较钟情于SLR吧! 8月5日 蓝天7月24日 舍与失舍与失,一种风景,两种心情。
常言说‘舍得’取于舍后而复得,因此否定了‘失’的言语。
不过有人也因为‘失’后再‘舍’,借此也懂得了珍惜。
人生也如此般,很多时候必须学会从‘失’当中体会到‘得’。理解了,看透了,方能珍惜。 5月15日 [转载] 2008童谣2008童谣
今年的雪,特别的大, 有群坏人,来把人吓, 那个喇嘛,叽里呱啦, 巴黎铁塔,伦敦警察, 汽笛嘟嘟,铁轨哗哗, 龙又翻身,大地垮塌, 重重的墙,将老师压, 没过多久,听到喇叭, 叔叔的手,使劲地挖, 经过灾难,我已长大, 4月21日 快门不知什么时候开始忘了摄影带给我的乐趣。
按下快门的那一刹那将一生人仅有那么一次的表情烙印在一张图片里,时间就在那一刻停止了。
“你知道吗,人的每一个表情,其实一生人就只有那么一次,过后不管你多努力的模仿,始终还是不一样的。”
好想找回当年对于摄影的热情和那份执著,珍惜镜头前所拍下的一切。。。。再一次让照片记录时间的变化,季节的替换。
我曾经和一个女生说过:“没人可以阻止时间的流动,不过在按下快门那一瞬间留下的回忆将是永恒的。它会记录下你的一切喜怒哀乐,一切时间在你身上留下的痕迹。。”其实还真的很讽刺。。说过这一番话的我过后不再按下快门。。。镜头再也没铺抓住时间的流逝。
看着我的相机,翻看以前拍下的照片,再看看现在的我,时间在我身上留下的实在是太多了。老是还愚蠢的问自己能不能再次回到过去,拍下失去的那一段回忆呢。。。其实答案一直都在眼前,只是我没发现而已。。不,应该说一直以来我只不过是不停的在逃避。
如今总算明白,值得珍惜的其实不是过去,而是现在和未来。要留下的不是昨日的回忆,而是对明日的期待。。。。
因为我终于发现值得拍下的景物,
一直在前方。。
4月8日 春 - 四季の初めSpring, the revival of a new season… Time sure flies when you’re having a stressful year.
It’s 2008 and it marks the end of my academic studies. Surely everyone would be overjoyed to finish their studies and move on to the next phase of their lives. Surely earning a living supersedes all there is to learn and to enjoy as a student. All and all, it’s reality and survival at the very end of the day.
Integration of what you’ve learning in school and putting it into practical use has always been the prime reason why we’re in school, or Uni for that matter of fact. I’ve spent 19years of my life going through horrendous amount of studying, though I enjoyed every last bit of them. Examinations were the least of my worries…. Socialising was. Fast forward 19 years and here I am today, getting myself set for the real thing…. The recurring task that will hunt me for the rest of my life… “WORK”.
Embarrassing as it may sound, I’m still fond of my imaginary life in an Ideal high school, having lots of friends and doing crazy things not worrying about stress and work. To shun myself away from the reality and the society has always shielded me from all the horrific criticism and also the morally bankrupt society.
Alas, life is life and although spring has yet again arrived this year, it seems all so futile to lift my spirits to face the challenges ahead of me.
“Spring has watched many demises and rebirths; it silently gazes over the whisper of a new beginning and the gentle gust of a new season. Spring has seen many seasons past, and again, spring is here to watch over the cyclical twirl of human lives…
It watches silently, like the passing seasons.” 3月23日 Everyone wants to fly SoloErr; let’s just say I was forced to be political for once. Well, knowing me, I don’t really care much about how the ball rolls around the field of politics but heck; let’s just change the scene for once. To start out with, Ma Ying-Jeou, Taiwan's opposition candidate has won a landslide victory in a presidential election dominated by concern over the economy and hopes for better ties with China. Right, so that means Taiwan’s ‘reuniting’ with China? I’m afraid not.
Part of Ma’s political policies was for a better economical growth for Taiwan and in order to do that they need to remove the ‘threat’. China has claimed Taiwan as its territory since the Island split from the mainland after a 1949 civil war, but Taiwanese had tried to claim independence ever since. The ‘threat’ we’re concerned with here, is to bring Taiwan under its control by force if necessary.
So who gives a dumb fuck about it? *hands down*
Recently the bigger news that revolves around Asia is nonetheless the declaration of independence by Tibet. Wait, Tibet wants to go solo??? Right, so what does a ‘kampung/village’ with miles of desert go to do with having its independence declared and split off from Mainland China? Few of my Chinese friends had been overly aggravated by this issue of spilt ups and the more than often not comment that I got from them was ‘it’s not a matter about giving Tibet up, it’s about the Country’s reputation’.
And Taiwanese are in all ways a pro for Tibet’s independence. Why? Coz Taiwan wants to go solo as well. Ma, recently commented that if Tibet is not allowed to declare its independence, then Taiwan will not send its Olympics team to Beijing for the 2008 Olympics. China, replied: ‘We don’t give fucking shits about it’ (so I exaggerated.) Western countries ponders silently as Tibet, China and Taiwan fight to the death to claim their pride and honour, and recently a German website opened its poll and ask its people to give their comments about Tibet. What the heck!!??? Asking Germans’ to give their views on Tibet? I doubt half the fucking population knows about Tibet, let alone the inner domestic issues between China and Tibet. Seriously, they should spend more time cleaning their Berlin Wall.
China, Taiwan and Tibet...I say they should all just make up. Make love, not missiles.
Tibet, stop being such a ‘Cipet’.
And German, mind your own sausage. 3月18日 暴走嗯,没错我突然想暴走。
转眼三月份也快过一半了,复活节过后就是可怕的1个月马拉松考试!本来想要复活节充电的,结果复活节变成了‘复习节’。 哎。。。
室友下周到欧洲玩,学校的老外朋友组团到西班牙,就连卢凡和erica也要去意大利了!!!呃,好想找人来揍一顿。
2点钟还得上庭考试。。嗯,是该收拾心情了。
哦,对哦,可以揍老外法官泄泄气。 2月20日 Artless thought...5:06pm on a Wednesday evening and I’m still stuck in the practice library doing my examinations in chief submissions. Lately workloads are piling up high above the mountain, but still manageable. In THEORY my ‘do my work in advance’ approach should be flawless, at least give me the upper hand. *Phailed* Oh well, the best work are completed under pressure as they say. Lots of things happened since summer last year, and frankly speaking, I’ve got no freaking idea how I ended up sitting here and typing this rant when there’s so much to do and so much datelines to meet. Yesterday, a bunch of us were talking about foods in Malaysia, and all the sudden it felt like ‘man, I sure miss home’. I still crave for my Mom’s home cooking, and also the Taufu Fa sold by the road side hawker just around my house. I missed the humid hot weather and sitting in a Starbucks outlet having my Frappacino. It has been 3 ½ years since I actually sat down and had a meal with my brother Ian (who is STILL in Australia). And it has been 3 *gasp* years since I last had a Chinese New Year celebration with my family! Surely, it all seems so far in the distant now, but to me, it felt like yesterday. Completing my BVC course this summer means the end of my academic years as a student. Forthrightly speaking getting a job is inevitable. The million pound question now is: Where do I start looking for one? Questions, questions, stacks of them with no approachable answers. I guess I just need to keep looking. It’s still cold here in Newcastle. Ah, back to examinations in chief submissions. Man, an advocacy manual will really be helpful now. |
