11/20/2008 Fall in Love with Icons
“If you can draw a building with a few sweeps of the pen and everyone recognises not only the structure but also associates it with a place on earth, you have gone a long way towards creating something iconic…” Tom Wright 2000 11/9/2008 Time Doesn't Fly, We Do.春天要结束的时候，我住的城市还没有要暖和起来的意思，于是去了一些我没有去过的地方，见到了久违的老友，体验不同的风土人情，光着脚在热带的岛屿看日落。 夏天开始的时候，我在医院的病床前，抽泣着，看着刚刚还有呼吸的生命变成从心电仪里传出的一声又长又刺耳的叹息。我记得那天太阳大得刺眼，我说，我可以一个人走路回家。行人往来，转角的小店，路口的红绿灯，没人哭泣，世界照常。 当你爱上一个人的时候，没人保证他会一直陪着你；但当你爱上一个城市的时候，你知道它会一直在那里等你。所以我回来了，过完生日，夏天就在忙碌的日子里朝九晚五。 在我还没来得及享受夏日午后抱着一大桶冰淇淋的时光，窗前已经开始缓缓飘落一地的秋叶。在湖区踏着厚厚的落叶，走过童话里才有的森林，心情很好，真的相信继续走就能把梦想和现实的距离慢慢缩小。 调回冬制时，下过雪，经过华灯初上的Tower Bridge，这个城市依然美丽。其实时间从来不曾飞逝，是我们忽略了去珍惜。
9/6/2008 umbrella vs Murphy's Law 伞和墨菲定律一天都在下雨。
lunch time同事就一直在说：you really should buy an umbrella！有时候在家，Lin时不时哪根筋不对也会吼：我们一定要买伞！
我一直记得那时候念Master，坐车总会经过在Tottenham Court Road的一家专门卖雨伞的店，非常古朴的店面，大大的橱窗后面总会排着各式各样的雨伞。我一直有把很普通的黑色雨伞。非常非常普通。我从买了它的那天起就没用过，因为我总是忘记带它，因为我总是不信BBC的天气预报，应为连BBC我都不信，所以其他的weather forecaster我更不信，所以，所以。。。那把伞被遗忘在角落。每每车停在那家店门口，我总会想，如果哪天我用的伞坏了，我就一定会去那里好好选一把自己喜欢的伞。
后来，伞真的不见了。
我总是跟同事说：没关系，如果下雨了，你们都会带伞，我跟你们share就好了；就象今天，我跟J合打一把伞，走不到3分钟就到我们常去午餐的地方。^^
就算没有别人，London这么大，总会有地方给我躲雨；就象上次，我下班回家，一下车就开始下雨，虽然没有伞，可是我在车站躲了一下下雨就停了。^^
可是朋友们总是提醒我不会这么一直好运。。。
后来，倒霉的事情还是发生了。
车到了Tower Bridge。。。早不下，晚不下。。。偏偏在我一下车就开始瓢泼大雨，真的是瓢泼。。。一点都不夸张。而且，我是在我正穿过potter's field的时候。。。我很纳闷：什么时候在city hall旁边会有这么大一片草坪的？这么平坦的地方，连躲雨的地方都没有。好吧，我接受这个事实！报应！我看到雨水顺着头发流下来，跟水龙头没什么差别。原来电影电视里面的那种俗套的镜头是真的（比如主角总是在遇事不顺的时候，在大街上被大雨淋得湿透的镜头）。
等我坐下来，Lin说：说真的，我们一定要买伞！我突然想起墨菲定律。
几个月前，跟Ann聊，我才知道Murphy's Law。wiki了一下，这里有一条：
“After you bought a replacement for something you've lost and searched for everywhere, you'll find the original”
虽然被雨淋的时候，心里大骂自己早就该买伞，但是一想起这个，我就改变了主意，算了，就算买了，我也不见得会有用到的时候。
8/9/2008 Go China, Go!There's no way to tell how excited and emotional I was when watching the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony on TV. The splendid display, dancing and music party——a modern interpretation of the historical, ancient and traditional China. Now, all the hard-work for the past seven years are paying off. It was indeed the most creative, unforgettable and spectacular show you can ever imagined in the world! Sleepless Beijing tonight, I guess. Oh, I even dare to say that Steven Spielberg would regret for the rest of his life, who cares about what you did when you didn't do it?
Here, I have to mention the stunning architectural design of the Bird's Nest (National Stadium), Water Cube (National Aquatic Centre), CCTV Headquarter and T3 Beijing Int' Airport, etc. Not because they are iconic, but a presentation of confidence and genius. We built the Great Wall some 2000 years ago, and certainly we can build the most advanced and hi-tech buildings on the planet. It is said that there were over 10,000 people have contributed to the construction of the Bird's Nest, since it resumed construction in 2004. Thanks to the thousands of builders and engineers, without their efforts, the Olympic dream would only be a dream. Meanwhile, I have to say that, let's face the reality. Here is the most offensive critique on Beijing Olympic Opening I've read so far. Ironically, Nina Khrushcheva——the article author——is ‘the granddaughter of former Soviet Premier’ (Wikipedia). However, the ultimate truth is the world's greatest country is emerging and regaining its power back to the centre stage. Tonight, our dream finally has come true. We are not only hosting the 29th Olympics, more than 1000 Chinese athletes are also competing for medals on our home soil for the first time. The game is just about to start, and the best is yet to come! Go China, Go! 6/15/2008 To Be Continued...春天的旅行，一张One Way的机票，就带我去了上有天堂，下有苏杭的地方，所以叫做‘天堂N日游’。 久违的阳光，朦胧的烟雨，我学会在陌生的城市迷路。 今天整理照片。。。好多。。。我懒了。。。照片都上传了。。。大家慢慢看吧。呵呵

徐家汇这种地方我是第一次住老房子，所以自然而然的觉得所有看到应该都是泛黄的画面...
楼道。。。让我想起小时候住过的老房子。。。木地板，红漆，木框的窗...
豌豆给我看的。。。她说刚到上海时的心情也是这样。。。哈哈～
徐家汇弄堂里住着2个小资女人和2只居家的猫～清晨醒来，弄堂里有人咿咿呀呀叫卖，阳台上有人晒衣服，对面的人家隐隐传来钢琴声...
用豌豆的话说，哇仔他们是indoor cat,没出过远门，哇仔还跳过楼～～ +_+!! ...看他一副向往外面世界的样子 >.< -------------------------------------------------------------- Trip To Chongqing... spicy food...that's all I can remember *_*
山城人民很热情，重庆MM很能侃～ ^_^
解放碑。。。没有传说中的美女出没 ------------------------------------------------------------ 首先是发现自己在家也能做冰糖葫芦。V^.^
3/8/2008 过去的世代无人记念？... ...
西谚说：过去的世代，无人记念；将来的世代，后来的人也不记念。因为繁华如烟，过去就拉倒，一些人我们忘了，一些人我们不知道去了哪里，还有一些我们死活想不起来，另一些我们不愿想，不能想，或不敢想。
每年有多少书籍，刚一出版就被遗忘；多少电影，还没公映就转到电视的某个频道去了；多少言语，还没说出口就被屏蔽；多少小摊贩，走着走着就不见了；多少夜市，灯一亮就成了聊斋；多少邻居，还记不住名字，就被拆了；多少平民，还没来得及喊一声，就变成了穷人；多少人去了，钱还没挣够；多少人走了，钱还没有花完。
子在川上曰，逝者如斯夫。高歌猛进，推陈出新，是这个时代带给所有人的梦想。更高、更快、更强，教会人们不再回头，大家都学会了这样说，我最好的作品是下一部，我最爱的人是下一个。
这个时代太在乎它得到的东西，却想不起来正在消失的一切。... ...
这是叶知秋在《南方人物周刊》里对中国过去三十年作的回顾，我从不在自己的space里转别人的文字，但是今天读到，觉得很喜欢。因为文章的第一句话这样写到：在奔跑的年代，怀念是件很艰难的事。

好歹掰了 一万字论文，睡眠严重不足。
有天写到早上10点，中午2点被老妈揪起来的时候，居然有那么十几秒的时间，精神错乱，恍如隔世，当时的内心独白是：我是谁？我在哪？
至于写得如何，已经不去想了。
我，在2007.9月给我的学生生活画上了句号。
9/7/2007 Missed London Summer在香港，错过伦敦的夏天。
去年今日偶还是个观光客，
现在偶却是个每天朝九晚五，听着ipod挤着地铁上班的人。
唯一不变的恐怕就是偶始终是个shopaholic -_-!
计划赶不上变化的世界，多少让生活多了点惊险冒险。
special thx to petpet~
and winnie, jerome, chak, moreno...for your kind help~
最后，隆重谢谢bartlett给了偶一万字的毕业论文 T_T 6/7/2007 The Space I'm Meant To Fill, And Distance Doesn't CareDay to day, year after year, we carry on a romance with space.
This romance leads us to seek our place and build on the face of the earth.
We are in love with our spatial environments whether we are aware of it or not. 5/14/2007 A Memento:Dodo,Nannan,Dahuang,Efan & Stan...
Stan:
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.
Dahuang:
If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others.
Nannan:
Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us?
Johnson:
The human heart is a strange vessel. Love and hatred can exist side by side.
Dodo:
You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself.
