Things will be better

These days am summoning energy to write something about my feelings. So many tragics happened, the great loss in our lab, the Sichuan earthquake etc. For what happened in our lab, how could I express the loss of one of my dearest friends and teachers in life? I still can’t believe what happened…And for the Sichuan earthquake, it left us all devastated. Was quite touched by this quote: http://swan.mocasting.com/p/158669

自四川地震後,聽過不少人說話,最打動我的是張學友一句:「如果說零八奧運是全中國人的事,四川地震更應是所有中國人的事。」

 

Things happened in the way that we don’t want to. We have many tears, but we also understand we have so many shoulders around to share the tears. We are closer to each other and to help. Better days are ahead, and we should keep our eyes open to see the colors of life.

 

Last nite, found some time to watch one of my favourite movies: 10 things I Hate About You. Luv Heath Ledger a lot. Like Julia Stiles also, think she acted really good in Save the Last Dance. Think the famous quotes from the movie would be when Kat Stratford recited her poem:

 

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.

I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

 

Was so touched by that. And also luv these two songs in the movie.

 

The Weakness In Me by Joan Armatrading

 

I'm not the sort of person

Who falls in and quickly out of love

But to you, I give my affection right from the start

I have a lover who loves me

How could I break such a heart?

Yet still you get my attention

 

Why do you come here

When you know I've got troubles enough?

Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone?

And make me lie when I don't want to

And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?

You make me stay when I should not

Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?

Why do you come here

And pretend to be just passing by?

When I need to see you

And I need to hold you tightly

 

Feeling guilty

And I'm worried

And I'm waking from a tormented sleep

'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound

But this new love cuts so deep

If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out

One of you is gonna have to fall

And I need you and you …

  

I want you to want me

 

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
And I'm begging you to beg me

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
And I'd love you to love me

BRIDGE:
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I put on a brand new shirt
I get home early from work
If you say that you love me

CHORUS:
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dying
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
And I'm begging you to beg me…

P.S. Would like to say happy birthday to all my dearest friends who have b-day in May:

In Edinburgh: Zhong zhen, Roger & Vanessa, Steph & Ingrid

In HK: Kitty, Lisa, Noel

Busy happy April

These days are sooooooooooooo busy. Busy with experiments, doing a lot of immunostaining and analysis. Got a presentation to do at the early of May. Apart from that, busy with packing stuff at home. Yes yes, am going to move to a new flat at Buccleuch Street, which is just 3 mins to the lab. heheh. The reason that I need to move is the landlord would like to renovate the flat. I really like the flat in Rose Street. Have been there for nearly two and a half years. It is so convenient, just behind Rose Street. And I really luv the Princess Garden. It is so nice to walk through the garden on the way to school. Missed the fun to walk with friends...ooooo...
But things like that happened in life, new flat is also quite nice. hehe. Am going to move on this Sunday, after that, would like to invite my friends to have a party.
 
P.S. Thanks to all my lovely friends to celebrate the birthday with me in March. Feel sooooooooooooo great.

生日前小感

收到mummy和好友Noel提前寄來的禮物,開心中!

 

Mummy寄來了一條超得意的日本圍裙,而Noel寄來很多禮物,包括有各種各樣的糖果,糯米糍,投名狀vcdmiso soup,和想要了很久的倪匡散文集《不寄的信,心中的信》等等。在書中,Noel留了很多她對倪匡文章的感覺,喜歡這本書,不是因爲倪匡的文章,而是Noel寫的文字很吸引人,能夠知道她當時想些什麽,明白她當時看書的心情,十分感動,能有這好友,花了那麽多的心思,覺得非常幸福! I luv u so much!!

 

330便會27歲,據Fei說是大大齡女青年?!

曾經是個不可想象的年齡,現在有時仍然覺得自己心態停留在二十初頭的階段,可能是最近真的有很多好友結婚或有了孩子,開始明白自己不是後生女,開始覺悟,該為自己的明天想一下

其實到目前爲止,學業,友情,和愛情都挺好,只要謹記Hin訓言,少闖禍,安分守己,麻煩自然少

 

最近看季羡林的《談人生》,學到了很多做人處事的道理,總括來說,决定今年的座右銘是――無求而自得不能老是要求別人這樣那樣,免得被人說對身邊的人苛求(多難聽的說話),自己想要的事情盡力去做,“好好的活”“做很多有意義的事”!

 

Doodles ceramic workshop

Went to the ceramic workshop with Liang Zhi last Saturday. Have planned to paint a mug for mon professeur-Ingrid. Was so excited about that! It was so fun to paint on ceramic. Zhi painted some really nice cells drawings like red blood cells, ribosomes, neurons etc. Look how nice it is!!

Zhi's pretty mug!
 
And I painted several cartoon rats for Ingrid. The three rats represent: Ingrid, Ingrid's bf and their child. hehehehe

Would like to go and paint more for Steph's daughter and Jane's baby etc. Luv this painting workshop and have so much fun to paint with friends. And if anyone is interested, we can go together!!!
 
 
温馨小提示:
1. The ceramics needed to put in clear glazed and fired/baked for 4-5 days.
2. Zhi reminded me a lot of times not to put too many layers as after fired the colour will turn to very dark.
Look the difference between before and after:

A day trip in Belfast

一直在實驗室忙到天昏地暗,今天終于有機會到透透氣,行程如下:
Pearl Court B&B→ Botanic Garden→Queen’s University→City Hall &Big Wheel→The Crown→Primark at Royal avenue→St.Anne’s Catheral→Big Fish→Big Fish→Waterfront Hall→Europa Bus Station→Airport
 
我的B&B是在市中心以南,所以早上便趁機到對面的Botanic Garden吸收一下新鮮空氣,一進去便是Palm House,外型蠻不錯的。
DSC05471
裏面的花好多,感覺很舒服,還看到一首Robert Herrick 特別給daffodils (水仙)的詩。
DSC05473
Fair daffodils, we weep to see
you haste away so soon.
As yet the early rising sun,
has not attain’d his noon,
stay, stay
until the busting day…
(題外話,不知道爲何每次見到daffodils總讓我想起以前在KB的日子,有一次Bin拿了草地上的daffodils給我們,Rachel, JiaJia, Wendy都很喜歡,覺得很溫暖。)
 
出來Palm House便打算去Tropical Ravine and Roses garden,可是找來找去, 還是看不到一點像樣的東西,而且更驚訝的是這Botanic Garden面積小的可憐,想必連Edinburgh Princess Garden也比它大。
 
本來滿心歡喜的我,只好到旁邊的Queen’s University拍拍照。
DSC05508
 
City Hall Belfast landmark,很多postcards也是用這個背景為題,旁邊的Big Wheel我想是新加上去的,跟London Eye有點像。
DSC05524
 
中午到了Crown Bar Liquor Saloon,它是被譽爲Belfast最漂亮的酒吧。
DSC05610DSC05587
Even if you don’t drink, worth a visit! 建于1849年,除了翻新的彩色玻璃之外,現在店內仍保留著當時維多利亞建築的色彩。蒲進店內便被一個個小包厢吸引住,在黑暗的燈光下特別有情調。說起燈光,他們還是用著汽油燈呢! 還有特別的地方是,在每個包厢里,都有幾個小金牌寫著matches,我猜是因爲給那時的擦火柴點烟用的。

As for the food, it was really delicious and inexpensive. Tried out the Irish Lamb Stew (with carrot and potatoes) and Crown champ (Cream potatoes, scallions and sausages). Yummy! It is a MUST go place in Belfast.  http://www.crownbar.com/home.asp
 
吃得飽飽後,沿著Donegall PlaceRoyal Avenue走下去,覺得這條街的建築很像Glasgow,可能也是由於看見路人一個一個拿著Primark的袋,心想我去Glaglow也是因爲它,所以更覺這兩個城市相像。說起Primark,我這小購物狂當然還是忍不住手,買了不少東西。其中有一件是去海灘時穿的毛巾背心裙 (可是在Edinburgh能有好天去海灘游泳嗎?) 反正大有收穫,非常高興。有傳聞Primark會在Edinburgh開分店,若這是真的,該是造福人群。
DSC05705
 
Royal Avenue的盡頭便是 St. Anne’s Catheral,本來想進去參觀,可開放時間已經過了, (明顯是因爲shopping誤事!!!) 只好去下一個景點-Lagan Lookout Big Fish.
DSC05659
之前看很多旅游介紹,也拍了Big Fish的照片出來,究竟它有什么那麽吸引著別人呢?原來魚身上印有很多圖案,如建築物,藝術品,出名的人物,仿佛一個小小的博物館。
DSC05673
 
後沿著Lagan Lookout去了Waterfront Hall,這條河兩岸有不少漂亮的房子,路燈設計也頗有特色。
 
Belfast day trip到這裏便告一段落。到airport發現飛機delayed,熒幕顯示 relax and shop?!
 
總括來說覺得Belfast是個不錯的小城市,可是飛機降落的一下,發現走得越多,看的越多,還是覺得Edinburgh最好。

Weekend shopalcoholic

這兩天去實驗室之前,到了Princes Street逛街。昨天本來想要買去Iain’s wedding 的衣服,但是在All Saints便停下來。很喜歡店裡的東西,每次進去都很辛苦地克制自己不要買東西,結果今次還是忍不住。看上了一條褲子,試一下就買了, 很喜歡它的剪裁。在香港,最喜歡就是去Paterson Street A/T,每次進去都要買點東西。在這裡, 最喜歡的就是 All Saintshttp://www.allsaintsshop.co.uk/womens/
DSC05439
今天也跟Ingrid去逛街了。在Zara試了很多衣服,Ingrid買了一件很漂亮的紅花絲綢背心,我自己呢,就買了一件幼稚的熊猫T-shirt

自己買了那麽多,不好意思不給mummy買點東西。去了Debenhams Rocha. Johnrocha 買了一件米色的外套給她,作爲UK母親節禮物。
雖然買了那麽東西很有內疚感,可是好高興。Luv to go shopping with friends, so much fun.

little feeings of the day

Don't know if you ever feel bad about yourself. Everything is perfect in your life, the problem is you. Some incident happened this morning makes me think  how can I make myself become a better person? I know what I need to do. Should be more aware of my temper. Can't get mad easily. And most importantly, overcome jealously. Its a horrible feeling and its affect my and others life. Guess I better start to change before my friends and the people I love run away from me. Hehe.
 
Read a quote from the other blog, thought it is quite nice. Know that the guy who spoiled me is gone for a long time. It must be a nice chance for me to change.
 
我希望能夠愛你  卻不用抓緊著你
欣賞你  但能做到不批判
參與你  而不去干預你
邀請你  卻無絲毫勉強
離開你  心中不會再有愧疚
指正你  而不只是責備
幫助你卻不帶冒犯
如果  你也能如此待我
那麼  我們便能真實相待
並豐潤彼此的生命

有所謂「相見恨晚」,可能是太早相遇,
這時體會不出彼此靈犀相通之處,
徒然浪費了這般緣份。
於是,很慶幸,有些人是到了中年以後才認識的。
在我們身、心已經有了比較和諧的步調,
在想像與行動的落差逐漸縮小,
在自我與世界已經握手言和的時候,
這個人準時來到,不偏不倚、不早不晚。

再早一點,青春的激情對這緩慢平淡根本看不上眼;
再晚一些,已經固若金湯的城堡,也難再為誰重啟帷幕,
只有人到中年,這樣的相遇才比較有可能得到呵護把持、或孵育為紅藍知己。

世間值得感謝的情緣的其中兩種:
一是少年夫妻老來伴,兩個人從慒懂無知到相隨相偕,
用一生的時間爭執、打鬧、尋找平衡點,
在相遇之前,兩個人都是差不多的慌張與不知所措。
但他們可以用長時間相疊的生命再三衝撞,
過得了重重難關的,最後便一起在愛裡昇華。
 

還有一種便是中年的相遇。
這兩個人在各自的生命裡已然經歷了許多,
嘗夠了人生的冷暖。
嘗過這人生甘苦,彷彿為的就是一種安靜的等待;
等一個人,這人在遇見你之前,
也受過傷,也和世界有過無數衝突,
最後,在滿身的傷痕結疤之後,你們遇見了彼此。
年輕時候曾流過的眼淚成了中年之後的滋潤,
也沖刷去不必要的矜持與挑剔,
若我們直接面對自己的欲望與生命的呼喚,
許多事情便已是枝微末節了;
而他在別處跌跌撞撞,百鍊成鋼,
也清楚自己抵擋萬事萬物的能耐何在。

這兩個人遇見了便定著了,
於是,就很難再有什麼能夠擾亂這樣的緣份;
世界逐漸遠去,
留給中年相遇的人們一堣相偎取暖的福天洞地。
中年相遇有著一種去蕪存菁之後的清爽明白。
我們的人生都曾經曲折而晦暗,
都曾經迷失且貪心,靈魂騷動不安,視線模糊失焦,
那時候就是放一個天造地設的好人兒在眼前,
只怕我們也辜負了,時候未到,只能擦身而過。

因此沒有什麼相見恨晚,晚就有晚的道理,
為的是讓這兩個人做好自己人生的功課,
好讓相遇的時候,每一刻都是不可重來的珍貴:
我們不再浪費時間聲東擊西,
不再虛耗精力針鋒相對,只有全心全意、凝神相擁。
今後的人生,認真相待,都還嫌不夠的。
人生,火裡來、水裡去,不過是希望有一天,
能有一個人對你溫柔地說:
「晚來天欲雪,能飲一杯無?」
犯了半輩子的錯,枝纏藤嬈一世人,彷彿就為了待這樣的時刻。

所幸,他來的時候,你已大致準備妥當。
愛情是自己的,自己要個怎樣的愛情自己最清楚,
不評論他人的愛情,因為有些情感不是外人可以體會的,
就像你不喜歡外人來評論你的愛情般。
全心祝福,衷心禱告,愛其所愛,終愛不悔。
喜歡一個人可以讓自己變得很認真,
生活找到了重點,開始有理由
為自己改變, 為別人改變

喜歡一個人可以讓他飛得很自由,
但偶爾累了卻又可以休息得很安穩
喜歡一個人想讓留著的生命猶有餘溫,
冀望著這一季秋只想付出的
心不再那麼寒冷
喜歡一個人心便變得安份,
誠懇不必期待能收到多少分, 只在乎自己是否付出得完整.
找一個懂妳的人也期許自己做一個人懂別人的人...
