2009/11/13 11。13今天是2个月来最down的一天。 stressful and frastrating. Down, down, down...都快到底了。晚上Rohan来访,比约好的时间晚了2小时!这小子真不象话!本想揍他一顿,不过他来之前一个大问题解决了,心情烧转好,所以他幸免遇难。他说他要给我点儿精神insparition. Youtube Robin Sharma. 'It is busy makes you busy', 'dream'......等等。讲得很好,至少对我今天的糟糕心情起好作用。想起我在Rohan 的年纪,也喜欢此类演讲,也容易被各种各样的新鲜事儿吸引。现在呢?突然觉得已经有很长一段时间以来,让我关注的事情开始变得越来越少。生活只围绕着那么一两件事情转。过度的关注一件事情,在意一件事情,不知不觉地改变着一个人。开始糊涂这种改变是positive or negative. 2009/10/17 《让谁把时光偷了?》黄永玉黄永玉是我一直喜欢的画家。画,书,家,人都生动。
《让谁把时光偷了?》
让谁把时光偷了? 真怪! 让谁把时光偷了! 让谁把时光偷了! 弄得我现在忙成 这种样子, 忙成这个样子, 干什么工作也像是来不及, 像是连爱祖国也不够时间。 不难过,也不悲哀, 虽然我们让人把时光偷了, 十年成了一天 大伙儿遇上了一个高明的扒手。 我认识的和不认识的伙伴, 舞台上,讲台上,战场上, 搞政治的,写文章的,画画的, 唱歌的和跳舞的, 已经个个都白发苍苍, 都像半夜里遇见了鬼, 莫名其妙, 让谁把时光偷了! 一刹那功夫, 从富有变成贫穷, 从年少变成老年。 那家伙比扒手可 凶狠得多, 他几乎割走了整个时代的荷包。 “是的! 老小子! 是我亲自割开了你的荷包。 怎么样?以后, 我还要光顾你七次八次, 你是不是还想挨一顿揍?” “没什么,没什么! 您老人家什么时候高兴, 就什么时候来赏脸, 别说时光, 喜欢什么请随便拿! 拿得越多我越高兴, 拿得越多我越幸福。” 别难过也别后悔, 老泪横流只是徒增难看。 幸好我们有孩子-- 一些身体强壮 脾气不好的孩子, 他们都不再象我们老家伙这样 软弱,麻木,可欺, 如果那家伙再挨到身边, 孩子们一定就会还击, 抓住那只脏手, 直到那家伙彻底断气。 2009/8/22 丢失的Yves Saint Laurent包包的扣扣今天真倒霉,真倒霉,真倒霉!!!俺心爱的 Yves Saint Laurent 包包的一枚装饰扣扣丢了。大大影响了美观性和功能性。早上被国内的网上支付恶整两个小时后,就应该意识到今天的运气指数,避免出门的。哎。。。还是出了。整三年前,俺来伦敦工作,表姐为祝贺和鼓励我送了这支漂亮又实用的包包。我喜欢它的设计,也欣赏它的做工和品质。每一个小细节都体现出用过了心。让我无法挑剔任何。也让我每次背它都想到它的设计师,感觉都很美。这就是Yves Saint Laurent吧。加之去年Yves Saint Laurent不幸去世,让我更加珍惜。
我以一分钟五步的速度原路返回走了一英里多。走到快到家的公园小路上时,我感觉今天是上帝对我近一段时间表现的惩罚。整条路小石子铺成。每个小石子大小,颜色都和小扣扣一样。走到一半路时,我已经眼花脖子酸了。抬头看看远处树叶休息休息,才发现长凳上一男一女。女的探着脖子盯着我。男的也把本来在地面搜索的目光投向了我。估计他们盯我有一阵儿了。我朝他们笑笑, 继续。他们还盯我。我说我包包上的小铜扣丢了。他俩豁然开朗的‘啊!’了一声。女的安慰我,‘丢了东西回去找,有时能找到。’男的一直笑。我走过回头看他,他还在看着我笑。笑我愚蠢吧。如果能找到它,我情愿他一直笑我愚蠢。我想要一个大大的吸尘器,把这一英里好好吸一遍,垃圾带回家来找。要么,给我一只鼻子好使的小狗也行。
我仍然对这只小扣子耿耿于怀。三年,整三年。丢掉的扣扣和包包就三年的缘分。它要永远的留在伦敦了。哎。。。希望心情一会儿会好点儿,毕竟包包还在。 2009/8/14 无聊的人的无聊事儿! 今晚,一对小蚊蚊在俺屋生儿育女。借我的地儿, 行!既然来了,咱们也算有缘分。如果你们不介意俺观摩和拍照,自便吧!他们没吱声, 我当是默许了。我拍,我拍,我拍拍拍!!他俩很配合, 保持一个姿势不动。对俺相机的咔嚓咔嚓也没表示反感。倒是俺脸红,心跳,手颤抖,对不上焦。
15分钟后,他俩终于不耐烦了,转移。我也转。他们再转,我还跟。给了我一个白眼,飞上顶棚了。。。谁设计的这房子?今天才发现是个败笔,太高!太高!踩了椅子,还短一大节。换椅子,垫书。。。看我这一折腾,他俩忍无可忍。‘真缺德!算你狠!俺俩认倒霉,让你先过完隐,俺们再do。’顺墙飞下,到我眼前。咔嚓咔嚓咔嚓。。。。(好不容易捡了几张对准焦的,传上来和虚的一样
2009/8/1 London,有朋自远方来2009/6/29 Book 1d窗外阵阵玫瑰花香,终忍不住拍了几张。费玉清的《春天里》和图文真叫一个格格不入!但是歌词好,我喜欢。 From Maximus: self-mastery, immune to any passing whim; good cheer in all circumstances, including illness; a nice balance of character, both gentle and dignified; an uncomplaining energy for what needs to be done; the trust he inspired in everyone that he meant what he said and was well-intentioned in all that he did; proof against surprise or panic; in nothing either hurried or hesitant, never short of resource, never downcast or cringing, or on the other hand angry or suspicious; generosity in good works, and a forgiving and truthful nature; the impression he gave of undeviating rectitude as a path chosen rather than enforced; the fact that no one would never have thought himself belittled by him, or presumed to consider himself superior to him; and a pleasant humour. From my [adoptive] father: gentleness, and an immovable adherence to decision made after full consideration; no vain taste for so-called honours; stamina and perseverance; a ready ear for anyone with any proposal for the common good; to reward impartially, giving everyone their due; experience of where to tighten, where to relax; putting a stop to homosexual love of young men; a common courtesy, excusing his court from constant attendance at dinner with him and the obligation to accompany him out of town, and those kept away by some other commitment always found him no different towards them; focused and persistent in deliberation in council, never satisfied with first impressions and leaving a question prematurely; the concern to keep his friends, with no extremes of surfeit or favouritism; his own master in all things, and serene with it; foresight for the longer issues and unfussy control of the least detail; the check he put in his reign on acclamations and all forms of flattery; his constant watch on the needs of the empire, his stewardship of its resources, and his tolerance of some people's criticism in this area; no superstitious fear of the gods, nor with men any populism or obsequious courting of the mob, but a sober steadfastness in all things, and nowhere any vulgar or newfangled taste. 2009/6/16 Book1cFrom Alexander the grammarian: not to leap on mistakes, or captiously interrupt when anyone makes an error of vocabulary, syntax, or pronunciation, but nearly to introduce the correct form of that particular expression by way of answer, confirmation, or discussion of the matter itself rather than its phrasing - or by some other such felicitous prompting.
Form Fronto: to understand the effect of suspicion, caprice, and hypocrisy in the exercise of absolute rule; and that for the most part these people we call 'Patricians' are somewhat short of human affection.
From Alexander the Platonist: rarely, and never without essential cause, to say or write to anyone that 'I am too busy'; nor to use a similar excuse, advancing 'pressure of circumstances', in constant avoidance of the proprieties inherent in our relations to our fellows and contemporaries.
From Catulus: not to spurn a friend's criticism, even if it may be an unreasonable complaint, but to try to restore his usual feelings; to speak of one's teachers with wholehearted gratitude, as it recorded of Domitius and Athenodotus; and a genuine love for children. 2009/6/3 Book 1bFrom Apollonius: moral freedom, the certainty to ignore the dice of fortune, and have no other perspective, even for a moment, than that of reason alone, to be always the same man, unchanged in sudden pain, in the loss of a child, in lingering sickness; to see clearly in his living example that a man can combine intensity and relaxation; not to be impatient in explanation; the observance of a man who clearly regarded as the least of his gifts his experience and skill in communicating his philosophical insights; the lesson of how to take apparent favours from one's friends, neither compromised by them nor intensitive in their rejection.
From Sextus: a kindly disposition, and the pattern of a household governed by paterfamilia; the concept of life liveed according to nature; an unaffected dignity; intuitive concern for his friends; tolerance both of ordinary people and of the emptily opinionated; an agreeable manner with all, so that the pleasure of his conversation was greater than any flattery, and his very presence brought him the highest respect from all the company; certainty of grasp and method in the discovery and orgnization of the essential principles of life; never to give the impression of anger or any other passion, but to combine complete freedom from passion with the greastest human affection; to praise without fanfare, and to wear great learning lightly. Book 1aFrom my grandfather Verus: decency and a mild temper.
From what they say and I remember of my natural father: integrity and manliness.
From my mother: piety, generosity, the avoidance of wrong-doing and even the thought of it; also simplicity of living, well clear of the habits of the rich.
From my great-grandfather: not to have attended schools for the public; to have had good teachers at home, and to realize that this is the sort of thing on which one should spend lavishly.
From my tutor: not to become a Green or Blue supporter at the races, or side with the Lights or Heavies in the amphitheatre; to tolerate pain and feel needs; to work with my own hands and mind my own business; to be deaf to malicious gossip.
From Diognetus: to avoid empty enthusiasms; to disbelieve all that is talked by miracle-mongers and quacks about incantations, exorcism of demons, and the like; not to hold quail-fights or be excited by such sports; to tolerate plain speaking; to have an affinity for philosophy, and to attend the lectures first of Baccheius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus; to write essays from a young age; to love the camp-bed, the hide blanket, and all else invloved in the Greek training.
From Rusticus: to grasp the idea of wanting correction and treatment for my charactor; not to be diverted into a taste for rhetoric, so not writing up my own speculations, delivering my own little moral sermons, or presenting a glorified picture of the ascetic or the ohilanthropist; to keep clear of speechifying, versifying, and pretentious languages; not to walk around at home in ceremonial dress, or do anything else like that; to write letters in an unaffected style, like his own letter written to my mother from Sinuessa; to be readily recalled to conciliation with those who have taken offence, just as soon as they themselves are willing to turn back; to read carefully, not satisfied with my own superficial thoughts or quick to accept the facile views of others; to have encountered the Discourses of Epictetus, to which he introduced me with his own copy. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius是本宝书。
俺能力有限,不做书评,不写感想,只做抄录。
蓝字为未领会部分,提示回头再读。
错字肯定会不少,努力避免。 2009/6/2 Seven SistersHalf term, 暑假前的最后一个假期结束了。 今天第一天上班,监考,无聊。加上可恶讨厌的EB真让我恨不得明天就是暑假。坏情绪一直延续到回家。爆食了晚饭,情绪不见好转,肚子撑得难受。尽管难受还是有吃了一个西红柿和小T 的两块蛋糕。。。房东女儿小T从同学家回来,带回两个他们自己做的蛋糕。全家在厨房边吃蛋糕,边夸小T手艺高(确实不错,好吃)。小T被夸得像个小豆包似的,但是依然装酷,呵呵。平时让爸妈恨得咬牙切齿的孩子不知道什么时候让他们感动以下。这就是生孩子的乐趣吧,这就是为什么那么多人明知道是件苦差事儿,还是争先恐后。
我的情绪没了。
周末出去玩,以下是小胖子的近照。 超喜欢老迟给俺和大牛拍的照。
2009/4/18 Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis 欢迎来北方2008年打破被《虎口脱险》垄断了42年之久的法国电影票房纪录的喜剧片!
看后,值得推荐!
PP STREAM有。中文字幕比较‘可怕’,也不是翻译得不能看,就是越看越觉得翻译者是个不靠普的家伙。
2009/3/28 还是爱逃学复活节假期前的最后一天,俺没上学。在Camden度过了愉快的一天。偷着乐。
上高中的时候逃课出校的兴奋激动感觉至今还记得。因为逃课听了不少好音乐,看了不少好电影。
晚春,阳光明媚的下午,回家,骑着俺心爱的自行车故意绕远经热闹路,青年大街,再沿青年公园河边小马路回家。有时也拐到顺通冰淇淋店。
总不会忘记微风吹在脸上,头发上和身上的爽快感觉。也总记得一股味道, 不知道是风?是树,草?是湖水?是阳光的味道。虽然听着有点儿酸,也有点儿傻。就像有一天我告诉我妈一个小时候的秘密:我说我在她没看见的时候吃了一个衣服架上的铁钩和一个钢笔帽。 我妈当时目瞪口呆了两秒说,‘这孩子傻了。’
复活节假期前的最后一天,在俺们头儿的妒嫉的沉默中,俺went to an interesting course! 最近非常enjoy看俺们头儿生气。 This is my dark side!
Course是关于Clear Spoken English. 主要针对public speaker like teacheres, actors, politicians and etc. 受益颇丰。是参加的这么多培训中最认真的一次,以至于在回来的地铁上就迫不及待地叽里呱啦了。
培训结束后,在Camden Markets小转了一下。 I love Camden! It used to be a place I hated. 七年前,我来过Camden,因为好奇。 因为对‘毒品’和‘贩毒’的好奇。 出国前,受舆论影响,印象中国外哪哪都是毒品和毒品交易。听说Camden大街上就有买卖毒品,所以去看看。只是看看。结果当然很失望。即使有,即使在街上,以我的观察力也是看不见地!Camden只给我留下了脏,乱和劣质商品的印象。今日逛Camden 大有不同。一家店,一家店的逛下来,天已经快黑了。不知道是我变了,还是Camden变了。应该是巴里岛民族乐器的菲律宾老板,商品油画店的印度业余画家,卖首饰的马来西亚姑娘,还有让我摸不着头脑的‘冒牌’行为艺术家让我看到了一个不同的Camden.
对于我这种不常坐地铁的人来说,从来没有在地铁阅读的习惯。除了看车厢的广告,我也喜欢偷偷看人。时尚的小姑娘,小伙子,可怜的上班族,还有peaktime不常见的小朋友和老年人。偶尔会有一两个人看起来似曾相识,应该是可以交谈的朋友,但是从来没有勇气打招呼。只是在相视一笑间, 我猜想对方是不是也有交谈的渴望?
最近花了不少时间看了不少电影。都是小情小调。虽然俺不喜欢这个词,就像厌恶‘小资’一样。可是目前欣赏水平可能就这样了。哎。。。今晚看了西班牙电影The City of Sylvia. 我喜欢。上周五看了Carmen Ballet。 想起很久没有我们TGG Sylvia 的消息了。 2009/2/21 Hunting the light---Arctic circle早上醒来,片刻恍惚,努力分辨着我在哪里。花园里小鸟唧唧喳喳的叫声把我从北极圈里海上带回了伦敦家里, 不仅轻叹一声。脑子里仍然在不间断的重演一片片的雪白的高山,深蓝的大海和神奇的绿光, 怎么也停不下来。
这次旅行是我一直的梦想,最后决定在俺今年生日解决!迟博士和她的700D的加入让这次旅行不再缺少什么。情人节一大早出发到机场,我们立即自动切换到了holiday mode, 导致两人在机场里把自己给丢了。打了emergency call, 被机场白胡子老大爷领到了gate 86,坐上了开往oslo的飞机。我们在奥斯陆只停留一晚, 然后坐第二天飞机去北边。下了飞机,几经周折,我们到达oslo 市内时天已经黑了。先解决温饱问题。本来想找一家做当地菜的餐馆, 不想误闯进一家阿拉伯饭店。 吃了肉,喝了酒,还意外收获了美女肚皮舞表演。酒一进肚,话就多。和迟博士聊啊聊, 不知不觉整个晚上就过去了。 如果你问我对奥斯陆的印象,我恐怕会说‘像个阿拉伯国家城市’!!
这张是俺自己拍得比较得意的一张照片,拿出来显摆, 见笑。
老迟的700D果然不同凡响,竟然能让我的梦想成真--我和极光!在巨猛烈的海风中,保持半分钟身体任何部位不动是一件很难很难的事情,每拍一张眼睛都酸得流泪。
极光只有在天气晴朗的黑夜才有可能出现。行前一直担心天气,不过我们很幸运,一连几天晴天。让我们过足了瘾!第一天晚上,我们不停的问同船的人今晚极光会不会出现,船上工作人员说比较有可能。于是我们决定回到房间边休息边等。刚刚躺在床上,广播说:‘亲爱的女士们先生们,在船的正前方出现极光!’ 我和老迟互相对望一眼,抓起衣服飞奔到甲板。 可是夜空除了满天的无数星星,就只有看似浅色烟雾状的薄薄一片东西。 别人告诉我们那就是极光!!我们不能相信老远来到这就是为了这个!不对,肯定是这股极光太弱了。我等。。。老迟研究她的700D,我坐在室内观景台, 眼睛不停在夜空搜索。过了两个小时,累了,不知不觉在椅子上睡着了。 醒来时已是凌晨1点多了,又急忙向窗外望,还是没有见到盼望的绿光。这一晚的hunting无获而归。
老迟同学就是有钻研精神, 试验相机一宿。 早上醒来, 第一句话:我觉得今天我门能拍到极光!!很幸运又是一个大晴天。 晚上,天黑了。有个人坐快艇送king crabs上船来,供游客参观。 待人群散去,我们不自觉地向天空望去,和昨天一样的烟状东西又出现了。 老迟用长时间曝光抓到了我们的第一只猎物——一道绿光!这就是极光!其实现在大部分时间人们用肉眼看到的极光都是浅色的烟雾状。只有在天气非常晴朗,太阳风活动非常剧烈时,才会看到浅绿色。但是经过相机的长时间曝光, 极光在照片中更加清晰,色彩更加艳丽。这一晚,我们兴奋的忘记了寒冷,在没有任何准备的情况下穿这单裤在甲板上拍了2个多小时。这时船已经快行驶到了大陆的最北端, 天气很很冷。回到房间时,手指和脚趾基本没有知觉了, 感觉不到冷。 缓了半个小时后,大腿才感觉到凉。
连续几天的好天气,成全了我们这次hunting的巨大收获。在船上的最后两晚,北极光异常强烈, 已经能看到绿色。半个夜空铺满了极光,不停的变换着形状,显得那么轻松,随意,自在和妩媚!神秘的北极光,不知道她什么时候来,什么时候去;不知道她从哪里来, 有到哪里去;也永远不知道她的真实模样。
我们在North Cape——欧洲大陆的最北端 had fun with the snow.
站在大概拍这张照片的位置,望着这个山坡 雪橇是North Cape当地人的出行工具!
(图中是此山坡的一半), 产生了从山顶滑
下的冲动——下山的捷径!And we did!
It 's not safe, but amazing!
仍然在山上 俺们俩
Kirkenes雪旅馆
挪威人都是活雷锋!挪威人看起来有点儿木呐, 但实际上聪明,有礼貌,热心,乐于助人。印象相当好。没有照片中大叔,我们找不到雪旅馆,也有可能误船。坐在他的雪橇上从山坡往下滑,真爽!
去机场的火车上还遇到另一热心肠大哥(or 大叔)。这位大叔坐我旁边旁边座位,上车一声不吭,拿起报纸埋头就看, 不说话,有点儿闷。列车员从身边走过,我叫住他问还有几站到机场。 列车员很热情, 在身上找列车表。同时那位大哥也在掐指计算, 然后向列车员挥挥手,示意他可以走了。 列车员犹豫了一下, 看看他。 大哥说:这车我天天座。 意思好像我比你熟, 我都不用翻列车表! 哈哈。。。他在我的列车表上标明我要下车的站。这位大哥天天坐这趟火车上下班,周末去机场附近的寄宿学校接儿子回家过周末。‘今天是周四啊!’ 我说。‘我先接儿子, 然后去去机场接朋友, 明天不上学了, 提前一天周末。周末太短了。’ 呵呵, 这老爸真好。 说不上学就不上学了。他快下车前,提问我现在我们在哪一站, 还有几站到机场。确定回答正确,起身向车门走去。同时还回头对我说:‘每两站之间距离很短, 也就10分钟。’ 热心大哥下车后,列车员又从我的座位走过, 确认我知道在哪站下车后,说他到站还会提醒我。临下车他还真来了。
可爱的挪威人!
地图,虚线是北极圈。我们从Tromso上船到Kirkenes, 这只不是我们的船, 不过我们的船和这只长得差不多
然后再坐船回来。
挪威森林
海上夕阳
King crab——壳是软的 某小港
挪威东部要塞很冷,风很大。 要塞大炮遭两个女间谍夜袭。
身后的雪地上基本上留不下脚印。
船上大概有6支救生艇 室外露天泡澡, 望着美好景色, 真享受啊 (当然得无风)
前景是淋浴,后面的才是。
船上餐厅前 船上电梯 楼梯转角的画和射灯
船上服务很好,尤其喜欢带有我名字的船卡!cool!
船上观景台, 常常有人在这里坐上一天。 奥斯陆机场
