I am absolutely touched.....I am  easily touched these days...by any slight events in my life

Touched by the arrival of spring. I feel like a daisy, been silenced by the winter. But the smell of the grass and mud combined with humid air tells me that spring has FINALLY come after half a year.

Touched by the performers and atheletes from the paralympics. They are wonderful. They brought out the ultimate level of perserverance, sportsmanship, dignity, integrity and other elegant human trubutes.

Touched by the Christians in Egypt, particularly those who converted to Christianity from Islam. They are the true warriors under the crucifixion of Islams. They hold on to their faith despite they had to live on rubbish mountains, live without an identity, and live under constant mentally-toruring threats such as "fingernails disappearing one by one" and "daughters no longer being virgins" etc. They deserve my total respect and admiration.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10

Touched by my houseowner's family. A simple family life is all happiness needs, money can't buy. Home sweet home.

Touched by the chat I had with my houseowner. The chat reminds me of my grandma, who possesses the attributes a good woman should have described in the Bible. I miss her dearly. I love her.

Touched by the rainbow I saw today. It was a sight I will never forget. The rainbow was a complete semi-circle, sooo huge, sooo clear, sooo real. I was in the car at that time and my friend drove under it. It was like entering a gate to a fairyland. Some parts were even a double rainbow. I felt so blessed. But I didn't feel a pity that I didn't bring a camera, the best images were captured in my mind. That moment will stay in my mind forever.

Touched by the fact that AusD versus HKD currency has dropped to under 7.

我正踏入了人生轉變的階段。我看到我現在所做的事是將來的鋪墊,是決定性的。是那種"三十年後當我回頭看的時候,如果那個時候不是這樣選擇的話,我今天絕對不會是這樣" 的感覺。我覺得今年是我人生中一個很大的突破和轉捩點。以前覺得很"一條直路"的事原來也有點迂回,事情往往不是想象中那麽簡單,事實總是這樣。

由求學的階段到工作的階段這種心情是矛盾的。既興奮,又擔心;既期待,又忐忑。其實我是很慶幸可以經歷這個階段,因爲很多人沒有機會達到這個階段,例如:被赤柱大樹壓死的女孩,四川無數因爲地震而死的學生,還有每天數以萬計因爲各種意外而喪生的年輕人。這幾天我在想,我很怕自己會像他們一樣,因爲生命是寶貴的,我還有很多很多東西要做。我能夠活到今天並不是偶然,神每天都保守我出入,供應我每天所需。

人是軟弱的(今年尤其感受到),神是偉大的。神的愛是無窮的,即使你覺得生命有很多無奈和不能解釋的苦難。

我現在需要的是信心,和一顆等待的心。

昨天晚上自己一個人去Opera House concert。我實在太喜歡坐在orchestra 後面看。一來,飛實在太便宜啦, $32 youth price versus $5x normal price。二來,如果不坐orchestra 後面,就要坐到武雷公gum 遠,整個orchestra 變成一pat 野。三來,可以留意conductor percussion 這些平時看concert 不會留意的人。四來,Stravinsky’s Firebird 裏有一段是在後台裏打chimes,除了我坐的那邊看到之外,沒有其他人可以看到。呵呵

 

昨天還有演出Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1太精彩啦!平時聼CD 已經有很激動人心的感覺,聼live 更是完全不同。加上身在非常宏偉的concert hall ,我突然覺得自己好幸福。

 

Concert 完的時候剛剛是奧運開幕,買了雪糕跟其他街上的人在Circular Quay 的大球體電視看開幕禮,挺有氣氛。看得我等火車的時候也目不轉睛地看,結果站錯月台,等錯火車。

 

我記得上一屆奧運會的時候,我跟爸媽談有沒有機會在四年后的北京奧運現場觀看。我記得爸問我那個時候我有幾多嵗,我說24然後我們就說那個時候我應該已經工作啦,沒想到現在還是一只蛀米大蟲呵呵。不知道4 年后的倫敦奧運 我是在什麽境況呢?

今天是一個值得記下的日子。從旁人來看,我又過了一個普通的工作天。吃早餐,去學校,到computer lab 鬥我的thesis可是過了今天,我更加發覺原來我未來的工作一定是要對人搞了自閉半年有多,原來跟人溝通可以帶給我這麽多的快樂。我想今天我說了一個月會說的話。

 

首先是有一個我不認識的新同學突然問我怎麽save article 在她USB 裏面,很明顯她是從第三世界國家獎學金資助的學生。我教完她後沒多久,可能她知道我以前讀過 International Public Health, 便問我一些做功課的意見strategy。那我就跟她談了一會。雖然我不認識她,可是我很enjoy教她的過程,她也非常感謝我。我發覺原來我挺喜歡教人的,可是有時就是沒有太多耐性。

 

然後有個女人坐在我旁,我一看就認得是以前的同學。雖然同學之中不是跟她最熟,可是她畢業典禮時我也有專程找她,不過畢業后就沒有聯絡。今天踫到她大家都很興奮,大家都問大家”Why are you still here?”她是澳籍東帝汶人,原來她得東帝汶獎學金讀醫科,現在讀第一年,可是她剛在上年年底生了小孩(她只比我大一嵗)。我就想,天啊!怎麽可以邊讀書邊照顧小孩?她說讀完后要舉家回去東帝汶,在international aid agencies 工作。可以問候朋友的近況真是一件高興的事。

 

然后就接到一個電話,是另一個以前的從内地的同學,沒有聯絡一年多啦。她之前跟別的同學打聽我的去向,以爲我囘了香港。她今天剛從内地回來,然後就即慶約了晚上吃飯。真是太興奮,因爲那個同學說普通話特快,又說得多,我好像是練習普通話聆聽和會話,可是發覺我的普通話還okay wor!

 

今天真是特別開心。我對滿足的低要求可能是寫thesis 的枯燥所賜吧如果我在香港,我肯定不會因爲今天所發生的事而這麽快樂。其實寫完之後覺得自己挺無聊,這麽雞毛蒜皮的事也可以寫600多字。有空就睡啦,才有精神繼續proof-read thesis………………救命。。。。。。。。。。。。
