    the past.

     
    It has been past.
    Somehow.
     
    I used to write a lot.
    But now.
     
    No one knows what happened,
    Like no one knows what has past.
     
    People thought they knowing time,
    Who knows time might plays people's time.
     
    I've been ... EMPTY.
    Don know how long the period has been.
     
    Life is what life is.
    Seems like I've seen how it is.
     
    Or I've just been dreaming,
    And it feels no other than living.
     
    So how could I say.
    Should I just keep or stop talking.
     
    It's not only the shiny piffling daily living,
    but also easy happy satisfying reality.
     
    We smile we cry we feel good or bad,
    We clear we confuse we scare we try.
     
    Back then, we were just sensitive kids.
    Yet now, who cares. Who stays.
     
    The world is changing to become flat,
    Faster than we understand.
     
    Everyone stands on the same height.
    Both partner and competitor.
     
    Who knows how it's gonna work?
    It scares. It inspires.
     
    So walk. Keep walking,
    Keep holding, the days, the life, the love.
     
    Tomorrow is a brand new day,
    And the past never passes away.
     
    I am awake.

    Haha something interesting~~ check it out!

    Hoi allemaal, ik heb net die kort journaltje gezien... wat grappig~~
    ik vertal die eigenlijk in het Nederlands, zal veel verkeerd zinnen worden. Maar goed, kijk maar~
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Just saw something really interesting~~大笑
    It's gonna happen in the Netherland la~ lol~ Amazing~~
    I'm trying the best to translate it properly~
    --------------------------------------------------------
    荷兰交通部目前正在讨论SEGWAY相关的交通规则,预计2009年可以在荷兰上路
    (Het Nederland verkeer departement is nu bespreken om de regelen om het "SEGWAY" te gebruiken, misschein vanaf 2009 kunnen ze wel op de weg)
    The Netherland Traffic Department is now in disscussion about the rules of using SEGWAY... which would be on their way by the year of 2009.
    segway_tour

    目前已有一些特定的场所可以见到SEGWAY,上次在Amsterdam火车站看见过,据说Schiphol机场也有
    (Sommige speciale plaatsen kun je al wel te zien de "SEGWAY" in gebruiken. Zeg maar Centraal Station, en misschein nog Schiphol)

    You could probably see them in some particular places, like the centre station of Amsterdam, or Schiphol airport.

    police 

    最高时速可以达到20km,不过要小心驾驶,要不就会像布什同学这样...
    (De snelste speed kan wel tot 20km/uur te worden. Maar je moet echt voorzichtig, anders zal je net als George Bush...)

    The highest speed can reach up to 20km/hour, but you need to be careful... otherwise.. you'd be just like Geroge Bush...
    bush-segway 

     

    Nog een advertentie zeg maar de "want ad" van de bussen bestuurders...
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    One more interesting ad... lol~~~

    有趣的招聘广告照片

    前些时候在公交车上看到的,招聘公交车司机的,大概意思就是如果没有人当公交车司机的话,公交车就会变少,公交车变少了的话,以后大家坐公交车就得这样了Open-mouthed
     
    (op zich nemen de betekenis is:
    Wij zijn om de bussen bestuurders bezoeken... als niemand wilt een bus bestuurder worden, er zullen minder bussen hebben, als te weinig bussen hebben wij, dan mensen moet zo in een bus zitten..)
     
    The "want ad" is looking for bus drivers. It says if no one likes to become a bus driver any more, the number of the buses will be reduced, and if there are very rare buses... then next time when you are taking a bus will be probabaly like this....

    { Mamoru san & Whale Watching | Part I }


    [- On the way whale watching.. leaving Sydney city. Nice scenery, eh? -]

    Hope it's not too late to write it, which happened already 2 months ago, while Mamoru san was yet in AU.
    How fast time past. Woow.

    Mamoru san is a Japanese sir, who'd have been in AU for around 3 months, for learning JAPANESE!!!
    ... Actually, it was a course of "teaching foreigner Japanese", thus he was learning Japanese in order to teach others.
    Then I became his first student and of course the smartest one~ lol. Oh, he prabably would say, no, not really, because you've known some of the basic, and you're from China, which made it even much easier.
    Actually, the thing is, nothing would be easy, unless you learn it seriously.

    Now he's come back to Japan already, but he's coming back again, soon.

    How come the ideas of coming into Australia and learning to teach Australian Japanese, is kind of mystery. His English is really good, I was even surprised. At least, as his age, based on his lastest English class was taken in high school.
    Anyway he came, and chose to live with homestay, which do improved his English a lot. However, it was still interesting to see him at homestay, because in common sense, homestay is more for students. Honestly.

    It's hard to guess, how old Mamoru san is. He's so optimistical, with a strong spirit and will of learning, trying new things and helping others. Which made us an impression of always being nice and young.
    He is not tall and skinny, but very healthy. Back then he helped me out of doing a body fat measurement as practising, and his result was perfect. Somehow one's health can really be seen on one's face, just as how energetic he is.
    His daughter is about the same age as me. Once we used 3G video call to connect his daughter in Japan, and I was using my smattered Japanese saying Hi and bla bla. My first time using video call. Interesting.

    Before Mamoru san came back to Japan, he said he wants to go whale watching, and I said woow, I'd like to go withyou!
    It was on 12 August, 2007. Sunday. Nice weather, sunny, less wind. Which was perfect for whale watching, because even though, later on in the middle of the sea, would be very windy.

    { SYD's Friday nights, going out and got shocked-0- .. & more feels on SYD^3^ }

    Gonna show sth special... Haha. Might be just special to me..
    Kay, till now, 2 months in Sydney, going out twice (or more??).

    [ Feel like too late to say the things. I've been ready to write them down like month and month ago>o<!! Anyway let me just get started!! ]

    Somehow, do not really like going out. However, though I said that, still had beautiful memories with friends hanging out in Suzhou's small pubs, with live music and yummy BBQs.. and the just-learned-pooling in the shortest month in China (after came back from Holland and before came here in AU).

    Time's just flying...
    Yeap, it depends. Sometime I do. While was living with Homestay. Couldn't remember who started the topic on the dinner table. I said not really, but Kon the host father said you should go! It's sociality, especially for you doing journalism! Which I didn't realized before. Most time were just happy with friends hanging around. Same as in Holland, and with School Festival. It was so much fun... Then suddenly said to the two guys, Filipe & Mamoru: gonna go with you two! Let's social...! (-__-|||)

    Therefore, with a Brazilian guy Filipe and a Japanese sir Mamoru. Friday night. We went to The Rocks, a German bar.
    Was quite surprised at how big and busy it was... Everything included, restaurant, dance floor, music, bars, chat sections, snacks... and people were just so different from daytimes!! From wearing business suits, walking in hurries and nervous. Totally changed at nights. Does that mean people were under pressures during the day?

    That was my surprise from the beginning. First week arrived in Sydney. It was so, unexpected -- Who told me that Australia people are lazy? Who told me that it's the most relaxed country in the world? People in Sydney city are just so rushed, everyone walking passed by me shortly, totally foot race, and I must even trot!

    However, things change. Just after few days, I was already able to walk with them. "Gotta school~!" or "Gotta work!". It's such a SMALL city... somehow. You can just walk through it, the City at least. In the begining what I thought was "Pitt Street is so long!!" but now... It's just few minutes walk!!

    Things Change. Fortunately it's changing to be better :), oh but I'm not saying walking fast is better.
    Sydney is turning to become New York, or whatever. Actually center Shanghai, or else are the same. The so-called "Big Cities". How big are they going to be? Ever enough??

    Somehow I do like the atmosphere in the city. Nearby my school (or actually every school in Sydney) there are all Office buildings, what what, whatever Banks around. You can definetely NOT imagine... how busy it is, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
    Business suited people are eeeeeverywhere, and they all walked like snapshooting. Hurry. Busy. Fast-Food-Court-Eating. Money's travelling. No Stopping. Never Ending...

    But it's Okay~:). I'm here, I feel here, then I gonna work hard as here^^.
    That's what I really felt from the most begining arrived in Australia.
    Here, Sydney City, is full of opportunities.

    I could not tell why, but I really could see thy.
    For everyone, from every country, for any jobs, for any needs.
    There are chances everywhere. As long as you are looking for it.

    Chance would only chooses the person who's there ready for it.
    Here, in Australia, or at least Sydney. Something special I could feel.
    Something is waiting... and something I'm looking for ^^.

    But somehow Life is Life. No matter where you are, your life will always be yours and as wonderful as it always is.

    Talk about Going Out... LOL~
    Just ask anyone on the street about going out experiences, the each answer given gonna be much more than mine.
    Anyway, however, which is special and pricious to me. Same as talking about it.
     
    其实要在街上,随便问一个人此类经历都比我多。只不过。毕竟不同。毕竟对我,还是珍贵也意外的事情。
    之前在住Homestay的那个月,住得还算郊区,和巴西的Filipe还有日本的心态无比年轻的老先生Mamoru一起去玩来着:)。
    去了岩石区The Rocks一家德国吧,那个人气鼎盛,热闹非凡,硕大无比,无奇不有的只是千中之一的Bar而已……
    不禁恍然,原来那些白日里西装革履步履匆匆的外国佬儿,晚上都变了个脸儿出没在这儿。面对夜晚12点还堵车的路上,忍不住啧啧见识。

     

    然后就是最近和室友们的一次,周五晚上。
    先去了悉尼最大的Casino,传说中的Star City咯,早闻其大名,自己还是第一次去。
    果然人满为患……从10cent一回的到N刀一回,小赌大赌,任君自便。
    会员卡免费,还送你十刀,然后每次去都有三杯免费饮料。服务周到?哈……看这人气,这点回馈,根本就是比芝麻绿豆还小的事吧~。
    据说澳门最大的赌场,那造整座大厦的钱,在一个月之内就全部赚回来了……
    只看看。然后走了。会员卡还是办了,以后陪朋友来喝饮料好了……哈哈。
    毕竟,在喜爱工作的现在,还是知道,只有自身的努力才能换回真正的财富。

     

    回来后约晚11点。众室友们皆换装打扮一番出去泡吧。
    这回在City中心,才是真正被城市的夜生活气氛震撼到……
    凌晨三点,大家实在是差不多了,急着往回赶。。
    而大街上马路照样塞车,酒吧门口照样长龙排着检查ID……那热闹劲儿……


    。。。这世道……的生物,真是疯了……><

    the 19th, Mid Autumn Festival.

    There've been 19 Moon Festivals passed by, to me, so far.

    The one from last year was the most special one.
    During the fantastic year in Holland, with the whole dear Dutch familly, Ank, Flip, Eveline, Lisette, Mike,
    And 3 exchange friends, Yang, Chang and Saki, with a great coincidence with Alkmaar Liberal Day.

    There were markets, singing, dancing, special programs, even military activities!!
    A real lifesaving helicopter was just spiraling in front of us, above the main canal through along the city.
    Couldn't imagine how much wind it made, water strongly splashing around.
    My hair became wet. My lens became wet. It was cold. But we still wait.

    Even recieved mooncakes from China, my parents.
    It's a festival of family reunion. Or, for people who's away from home.
    As you look up to the moon at Mid-Autumn, it's just, always as perfect as it was.
    Which is also the exactly same one while your family and friends are looking at.
    Wherever you are, would never be alone.

    However, what I felt from 2 days ago, was even more than last year... it was more than, ever.
    The Mid Autumn Festival on Sept 25, 2007.

    Somehow. When you started treasuring a real Mid Autumn, which means, your life, is turned to be a real yours.
    An indulgent kid, would never get the meaning from, a piece of mooncake, or a perfect-rounded, pure white moon.
    Unless, their own life begins.

    C'est La Vie. Life is a serious game.
    No matter how many times you succeed or fail. It matters how you look at it.. And what's your goal of the end.
    Sometimes, how much you suffered in the beginning, just showed how lucky you are.
    Depends on, if your dreams are strong and far.

    On the train, while was going to somewhere I don't care.
    I was looking at the two mooncakes on my hands.
    They were, so precious.. Couldn't even want to eat them. I kept one, gave it to my friend, later.
    Happy festival, I said.

    I've got the moon above, I've got msgs from friends and teachers, I've got supports from parents, I've got all the wishes and I've sent all my wishes as well.
    I know. it's enough already, with the one and only mooncake.
    Something you gotta keep. Something you gotta have. and some thing, it hurts you now, but blesses you later for ever.

    Just so appreciate.
    My life, my dream, the loves I got, the people I met, the people I'm going to meet, the chance I got, the decisions I made, the way I struggled, and the future I'm trying to reach...

    I know I'm lucky.

    I know I'm not just lucky.

    As the eaten mooncake.

    4 weeks @ AU celebrating -- w/ Bob Dylan!

     
    Been in AU for 4 weeks already. How fast.
    Things past by... but countless. How many I did in the first month? Would be surprised by myself.
    Why there'r only 4 weeks/mth!?
     
    Went to Bob Dyland concert right on the last day of my 4th week here. Alone.
    Couldn't find anyone go with me. But, okay, that's fine.
    I felt a bit stupid on me when the others just said "Who's that?" or "Okay, him" or even "R u crazy/such that rich?"... Just a little bit,
    but fine.
    Kinda celebration. I know what I'm doing~Smile
     
    It was quite funny, cos while looking around felt like falled in a totally different generation. Ladies and gentlemen of at least my parent's age were exciting and highing, with that "old" guy -- he's already 65!!
    His voice, sounds not that old of course, only if he's doing that kinda voice, u know.
     
    He didnt sing that. After break he changed the style. I saw some ladies dancing - that was called swing or twist dace? Jus like the twisted ages. I know something different. but no difference. and no one feels that.
     
    There was no big screen, and then someone shouted from back seats:"Mr. Dylan, where is the big screen!!? we cant see you~~!!!" He laughs, and then, they were jus chating as they were in a big living room. It could be heard well from the stage, and ppl from the most back seats were able to talk with him by just using abit louder voice. Sydney Entertainment Center. It was full, around 15000 ppl I was told. Not that big of course, but closer.
     
    Know what a coincidence it was? My seat here, was jus exactally the same position as the one of David Tao Concert, Shanghai. While you my dear, and friends were sitting beside,  even Angeline, you were sitting somewhere there, middle of the raining hard.
     
    I thought I didnt experience much concerts ever, but now I feel I did. At least made me impressed.
    and I've got even more.........

    { The Overture }

    [ July 19, 2007 21:55 ]

    Certainly busy the first days,
    old things piled n' new things comes...

    Actually, quite challenged from that,
    and I even want more...

    Since years waiting, longing, looking for, n' trying to perfectize...

    MY Life..style.

    ..Hopefully the world, the earth, and universe as well..(?)

    In any case, My life,
    the own & real Life,
    will be awake,

    VERY SOON...
