珍惜眼前人

我不知道怎么形容。总觉得可以和爸爸一起做家务事是很幸福的。从小，就很憧憬与爸爸一起洗车、玩水喉的画面，虽然感觉仿佛做苦工，但感觉很温馨，当然也因为很好玩。尽管如此，因为种种安全的原故，爸爸从来不允许我们这么做。这几天终于如愿以偿了。昨天一大早，就和爸爸一起出外选鱼，回来后，我们三个小丫头就和爸爸一起筑好院子的小鱼池。原来饲养小动物是那么有趣的，我竟可以坐在鱼池边整半小时，看着鱼儿游来游去。其中一只鱼儿特别好动，三翻四次想从鱼池跳出来。鱼儿啊鱼儿，你是否知道你跳出来就会因为缺水而死呢。。

这是mimi和jasper。爸爸说待我们慢慢拿手后，再添多几条大鱼陪伴他们俩 =)

意想不到的是，第二天一大早就有两条小鱼死了，极可能是因为输水系统关着太久了；另外，还有两条小鱼也不见了，不知是否是大鱼吃了小鱼。心里其实有点难过，最难过的人竟然是爸爸。 过后，时不时我都会到鱼池去，像个老师那样，点算着小鱼儿，希望他们不要再‘不见’了。

XXXXXX

搞好鱼池，今天我们又忙小花园了。幸好今天的太阳不是太强烈，我们五个战战兢兢在锄地，松土，种植。连最怕晒太阳的妹妹也出来帮忙，好酷！

不晓得，也许看起来好像是普通不过的事，或无聊到底的东西，可是我就是觉得很开心。现在城市生活紧凑，有多少人可以一家人花时间共同做同一件事。亲子间，除了平时一起看电视，吃晚餐，还有什么时候可以一起培养彼此的关系。对，旅游也可以，可是旅游所需的消费却较大。再加上在我们渐渐长大的岁月里，父母也同时一日日变老，直接说一句，共处的时间变得更重要。近来有个好朋友失去亲人，希望他依旧坚强，早日站起来。曾经，我也抱着浩浩荡荡的心情从国外飞回来，想与家人共聚天伦乐，可是后来才发现外婆中风了。那段日子，那个打击，确实很不好受。还记得我第一次见到坐着轮椅的外婆，自己就忍不住跑到厕所里哭了一顿。

就以‘珍惜眼前人’这五个看似简单却意义重大的字眼做这一个post的结尾吧。

my 3 big wishes at the moment:

1) To be well-prepared and do well for my test on nx thurs

2) Get done with my applications asap

3) that Birmingham airport will not be closed due to snow nx week

家书抵万金

原来在你读书读到很厌很闷的时候，最有效的不是一杯咖啡，而是一通家里打来的电话 =)

week 7

BBC's forecast finally realised when it snowed for the first time early yesterday morning. They had been saying that it would snow since thurs but it just turned out to be icy icy temperatures without any flurry flakes..  And when my facebook homepage was full of snow photos and updates, i drew my blinds and was actually delighted to see the fields and pathways covered with snow! U didn get me wrong, it's true that i do hv a dread for snow, but thinking it on a bright note, if it snows early, it would end early too.. And most probably next term i would just be stuck in snow for a month or less..

And SO, as laid out on my fb, i had my first baking therapy yesterday.. The limelight for the day: The coffee-walnut-apple-cake! Of course the main credit has to go to my sifu, miss roycee!! During the session, she was like a mummy preparing her daughter for school :D

But of course it's actually nicee! In fact, we had a rescue operation which added to the beauty of the masterpiece when its top was burnt =)

              

Thanks for the awesome dinner again 16 conistoners!! Not forgetting the chester trip we went together last weekend.. It was fabulous as well.. It was a day that we decided to all wear our warwick hoodies for the day.. Pink, red, white and blue! I think we got the entire collection of warwick hoodies except purple and black =)

It was hilarious when we decided to hv ice cream whilst weather's cold.. Well, we hv no choice as Chester's quite renowned for ice cream.. There is an ice cream factory nearby which we didn not get to visit due to time constrain.. Hv u told u that? Cuz this trip was organised by our International Office and we did hv a preset departure time..

              

Tat's the roman amphitheatre.. Those murals, as its name implies, were fake..But can u differentiate between the real and drawn stones behind me? And we posed up as if we were really steapping on the stone.. Cool isnt it! ^^

 

The trip ended beautifully with an authentic English tea session.. We had scorn with english tea, and a long chat as we warm ourselves in the tea shop.. Omg i forgot to take a picture of the scorn =P  

               

I'd just say that it was lovely!
But i hate the 'image resizing' function of blogger though!

人为刀俎，我为鱼肉

你可曾有过这种经历：

口口声声说随缘，不过在整件事情的过程中，你却紧张著紧得很。吃不下、睡不着、心砰砰的跳。随缘不是不应该这样吗。

到最后，惟有安慰自己，只所以随缘，是因为不过分在意事情的结果。可是，抵达结果前的一切付出，都希望可以做到最好。尽力了，即使结果事与愿违，也没有遗憾，没有后悔。

成事在人，谋事在天，其实，我挺讨厌被命运主宰的那一刻。

李林大战：既生伟，何生丹

昨天牺牲了期待已久的泰食自助餐，坐在手提电脑前，支持可爱的李宗伟。

坚持了72分钟，伟伟最终不敌超级丹。超级丹成就了史无前例的大满贯，一贯作风的举拳庆胜，脱下外衣。而我国40年的金牌梦，圆不了。

我这个出了名的伟伟粉丝，当然也得招架不少对伟伟的意见：“耻辱一败”、“冒牌一哥”等等字眼。面对着一些，我惟有无可奈何，安慰自己这是大家一时失望过度丢出的字眼。

观看了这场决赛，稍懂羽球的人也知道李林都在这场比赛呈献出了他们毕生的精髓。甚至有很多球点，都是多拍铸成的。伟伟输得一点都不耻辱。如果他真的是心理素质不佳，是水货，就像两年前的奥运会一样，早在第二局就输了；不过他还是沉住了气，顶着压力拿下第二局。我不否认，伟伟实力还差林丹一点点，尤其是在决胜局时体力透支，有心无力。但伟伟确实已尽了力，冠军也只有一个。

伟伟在第二局拿下林丹时，我们不也在为他欢呼喝彩吗；比赛输了，落井下石反而司空见惯。输了球，没有一个人会比他更难过，更失望。我们有资格责怪他吗？没有了李宗伟，我们会拥有第一个奥运银牌吗？展览馆会有那么多座超级公开赛的奖杯吗？一个又一个的冠军荒，还要多少个十年才能实现？这不只是针对伟伟，而是每一个尽心尽力的球员。看到他们为了救一粒球而扑向地上，我们的心，何不也同时往下一沉，抽搐了一下。

林丹也体现了大师风度，称赞伟伟表现出色。英雄识英雄，我也相信他的发表是发自内心，因为这场比赛一点也不轻松。我们应该为伟伟屈而不挠的精神打气，也期待他早日走出悲愤。置身其中，我也许早已挂拍，要知道这种“二奶”命的纠缠，并非每个人所能承受的。

尽管如此，今早看到一个小学朋友的status, 不禁有感而发：“既生伟，何生丹”。
