Peculiar Life. The past week.

~

I had resumed work. I have no table, no computer, no phone yet. I started with some simple work and i kind of like it. Just work and no disturbance.

I thought i had left my job forever, but in the end, we returned to each other.

I started driving home after work. I used to say i will never drive my father's car. But now, i'm happily zipping through the traffic, with a relatively satisfied papa beside.

I thought i can never drive for such a long distance (yes, to me anything more than 5km is far). But i did it.

School

I started school. I bought a new notepad, a new pencil case, files and some others.

I thought i couldn't make it. But at least i had made the first step.

At some point in life, we reach a new phase. Our goals change, and so is our life. 

And at the moment, i welcome a new beginning.

休息是为了走更长远的路。

两个月半的休息，似乎很长。但仍然是眼睛眨几下就过了。好时光总是过眼云烟。才开始感觉幸福，却已人去楼空。

也不见得工作时的两个月半会过的这样地快。或许，就是这个原因，让我们更珍惜美好的时刻。毕竟，人生不如意事，十之八九。唯有仅剩地那一点点快乐，让我们有勇气走下去。

矛盾的心让我心情变得时好时坏。一方面，我期待从新回返社会，已微薄的贡献证明自己存在的价值。再加上新的学生身份，再次踏上学海无涯的漫长旅程。 另一方面，我害怕这又是一场痛苦的延续，同样的问题，同样的挫折浮现于眼前。

然而，事实不会因为我的矛盾，乐观或悲观的态度而有任何改变。唯一能改的，始终只有自己。

如果说，过去的短歇是泡沫般的美梦，那么，是时候醒来了。泡沫和美梦从来都不是永恒的。

如梦初醒。还有两天。

I woke up today with seriously aching arms and shoulders.

No, I didn't carry weights. Neither did I carry any rice sacks. The truth is I never carried anything.

I just . . . drove.

Ever since the embarrassing 10-point turn (the norm is 3 point) which I did in Bintan on a little buggy last year, causing the surrounding people to stop what they were doing just to see what stunts I'm performing, I had no chance and at the same time I wouldn't want, to drive again. For embarrassing matters, just once is enough.

Yesterday, I decided to put the past behind me and focus on my future. So . . i drove.

On the road

Hubby sat at the back, as quiet as a mouse (think Emile in Ratatouille), as if any frequency in the air might cause me, the driver, to be distracted and result in some irreversible consequences.  

Despite all these, I seemed to have kept myself in my own world, enjoying every bit of zapping in between cars, putting all my senses into use, and earning some satisfaction that hasn't come in a long time.

Though this satisfaction comes with some bodyache all over, I hope to be back on the road very soon again.  . .

越过高山和大海

勇敢面对危险

we're on the road again . . . " ~ 优客李林。少年游

我们都有各自喜欢和讨厌的小点滴。

就是这些不起眼的小点滴，塑造了不一样的我们。

大肚扬说他最讨厌穿袜子。穿袜子对他来说简直是件吃力的事。每次成功穿了袜子，他已满头大

Clean Laundry

汗。

我最喜欢：

~ 衣服刚洗好晒干的清新柔香。

~ 烹饪时碗筷碰撞的声音，让人觉得很开胃。

~ 下雨天时天昏地暗，我躲在被子下觉得非常安全。

~ 看到吸油面纸上都是油迹。这代表我的脸现在干净没有油光。

~ 熟度刚好的半生熟鸡蛋。65%熟的鸡蛋最合我口味。几乎凝固的蛋白金银剔透，完全没有透明

Half-dozen-eggs

水状。仿佛两颗合我意的鸡蛋，已断定我今天会是美好的。

我最讨厌：

~ 面汤来到桌上，却只看见面，不见汤。

~ 修剪指甲。修剪了还得磨平，真是费时。

~ 下雨天时出门。不是怕被雨淋，只是讨厌脚被雨淋。鞋子湿了，脚趾下还会有沙子，难受极

Raining

了。

~ 更换床单和枕头套。总觉得这件事很耗力气，我倒不如去跑步。

~ 排队。人生好像就在一条条人龙的等待中渐渐化为乌有。

了解一个人，应从这些小点滴开始。一个人的魅力所在，其实也来自这里。

如果你从没想过自己的小点滴，或许现在你可以试试那么做。毕竟塑造自己的，便是这些微不足道的点点滴滴。

After spending 2 months in my own comfort zone, being jobless and of course nonsense-free, I sensed it is time soon to throw myself back to the reality. Nevertheless, it is a good break, when I actually spend time doing things I like, and starting to get to know the word 'bored' again.

Besides giving my room a major cleaning job and maintaining it, I had also found new joy in playing some cute games in facebook. All along, I have not been so much into gaming. It will be a nice past time, but I didn't find myself too indulged. Yet it was quite unusual that I got to attend two video game concerts with hubby in such a short time frame. Suddenly i feel like a gamer! yeah!  

When my friend introduced me to play Restaurant City in facebook, I was a bit skeptical. But seems like everyone is having fun with it. Being very free at the moment, I decided to try and run some restaurant even though I got to keep my rabbit living and happy in Pet Society and grow and harvest some vege in Barn Buddy. :P Strictly speaking, i'm not too free either. 

And now, i'm hooked to it! It is just pure and simple fun to watch people walking in and out of your restaurant, looking for seats, giving thumbs up or down. We all walk in a systematic manner and it doesn't matter if there is not enough space for two to walk as we can just walk right into each other.

Sometimes i'm the chef, sometimes i'm the cleaner. Everything is simplified in the game. It was just most strange and interesting to see my virtual self cleaning the toilets when someone else is using it at the same time. I wouldn't want to imagine doing that in real life, but in a virtual world, why not?

3 weeks left before I resume my hectic work life, this time with the new duty as a student. Just let me clean as much toilet as I can, in my restaurant, Loopy's Bites.
