“失主被骤然来临的大雨淋成落汤鸡时，方才忆起昔日雨伞情，太迟了。”
《逃伞记》。尤今
最近重返校园后，经常接触到大量的文学作品。日前，我读到了尤今的《逃伞记》。她说人们常丢失雨伞，不是因为善忘。是因为雨伞价廉，所以主人心里根本没有它。又或者是雨伞心知不受重视，所以自行逃走了。
我赞成雨伞的决定。既然不受重视，何必留在主人旁边？雨伞也有属于自己的一片天，它应该拥有被珍惜的权利。
我在周围看到许多主人和雨伞。
有些雨伞已悄然离开，为自己找寻雨季，为懂得珍惜的主人遮风挡雨。
有些雨伞比较胆怯。虽然面对随时被丢失的命运，还是愿意贴着主人。
有些雨伞比较不幸。主人已经忘记它了，但它还没找到新主人，不能尽雨伞的责任，只能孤独地躺在一个角落。
我不是主人，也不是雨伞。
我是路过的云层，为被丢失的雨伞，散下一阵细雨，以慰籍它们失落的心，也提醒主人自己所遗失的。

Life never stop moving, and we all move around when we reach different stages of our lives. Not too long ago, my colleagues were giving me hugs and pats on shoulder, wishing me the best for my new challenges ahead. Now, it was my turn.
Pearl, considerably the noisiest in the office, was bidding us farewell. Often heard before she was being seen (she likes to run in the office with loud heavy footsteps), she has the greatest love for her students, and is one of my dearest colleagues, who is always ready to help and advise.
Waving my hands at her, I'm happy for her new future, though the office without her is undeniably much quiet and perhaps lost a little warmth. On her last day, it wouldn't do if there wasn't any photos snapping going around.
And we even dragged in cleaner auntie to join us!
After saying goodbye to my dear colleague, hubby and I were delighted to witness a newly-wed couple born in a cozy, lush greenery. A sweet and simple solemnization held over the last Saturday, we had the honour to receive the sweet couple as they declare their vow to each other.
The afternoon passed quickly as we engrossed ourselves in the lovely ceremony, coupled with savory bites, and bubbles (lots of them). Thumbs up for the chicken pies! And we had some fun jotting down blessing words for the couple and taking some polaroids.
Events come and go, they never end. Be it sad or happy, they are part of our lives, and i believe that looking forward to each of them will somehow, enrich us in a good way.

While work and studies squeezed me up like a piece of tuna sandwich, I have to keep adding spices into my life to make it more hopeful. All work and no fun is definitely not healthy. And all the non-stop typing in office, and assignments after assignments are turning my life greyish. I need COLOURS.
Spices need not be expensive. They don't have to be rare either. When normal shopping therapy becomes too unattainable for a part-timer like me, I excitedly spent my dollars on some necessities, that are not needed daily. Like . . . . umbrella? :D and quite a vain one too.
Though not needed daily, it has to tag along with me everyday. Stripes, dots, monotone, are not spicy enough. And this city girl in Paris lookalike, seems to do just well.
As i was thinking why there wasn't any rain these few days (so that i can use my new umbrella), I put my hands into work too. I managed to stay away from the technology savvy stuffs and stepped back to basic, which is woodcraft! After getting my fingers with peelings all over, a rather satisfied me was giving it some colours. oh COLOURS!
And finally, it was done! A baby pram for my good friend who was busy preparing for her baby girl's birthday party.
A simple buy for myself. A little gift from my heart.
All these are just to cheer up my days, so that there is always a reason, to keep myself going.

一年复一年。
屈指一算，已第四个年头。我依旧坐在同一张桌子后面。
在五彩缤纷的新版乐谱后端，是这张同样的脸孔。
依旧不变的，是不算精彩但还不至于沉闷的工作；一群体力永远用不尽的青年；还有一些熟悉的面孔。
改变的是，一些人与人的关系；是愿意尽心力但还漂浮不定的心；当然还有一些面孔是新鲜陌生的。
年复一年中兜兜转转，阅读着被保留的，被遗忘的，变的，不变的。
虽然不知道还可以兜转多几回，但可以看到人事的缓缓变迁，也算是一种独自可享的乐趣。
周围的喧闹包围着孤独的我，我心却宁静像湖水。
