Unforgettable Christmas


Christmas is coming and the bells begin to ring. In western countries, the Christmas season liturgically begins on Christmas Eve. It is a time of family gathering and reconciliation. Well, for me, there was a lively remembrance on Christmas Eve.

I remember my first visit to Cambodia in year 2001, around Christmas season. Most people in Cambodia are Buddhists. So this means that Christmas is not really celebrated there. Therefore, it was a simple quiet Christmas for me. But, I was stayed up all night with something thrilling on Christmas Eve and it has marked an unforgettable experience to me. Just before midnight, suddenly several gunshots rang out in quick succession, were heard at somewhere nearby our residence. It was an extremely loud bang, waking up with my heart racing. We were startled by the sound of the gunshots. Each of us dare not to let go of our hold on the blanket and turned our head toward the window to see what had happened. My eyes wild with fear and began tugging frantically at the blanket. At that moment, I miss home a lot.

Well, it was not something excited to remember but something that makes me felt an immense gratitude on how lucky to stay in a peaceful place. This incident never turned me off and my passion for Cambodia stayed for years, though the first visit really took my breath away.

我是海鸥


也许对明天有点紧张,所以我想起了海鸥。你知道吗?海鸥对各种环境都有非凡的适应能力。有一本书,李查.巴哈的作品《天地一沙鸥》,描写海鸥逆风飞翔,立志迎向目标的奋斗事迹,海鸥义无反顾的忍受着一次次失败与创伤所带来的痛苦,专心致志的学习飞翔,读了令我感动。也有一首耳熟能详的歌曲《海鸥》,哼起来也有种叫人奋起向上的感想。[海鸥飞在,蓝蓝海上,不怕狂风巨浪。挥着翅膀,看着远方,不会迷失方向。飞的越高,看的越远,它在找寻理想。我愿像海鸥一样,那么勇敢坚强。] 海鸥不怕狂风巨浪的精神很令人钦佩。

敷上补充元气的红参面膜,把思绪整理清楚,明天我就是海鸥,要在蔚然的天空里飞翔。

起点

每个人对“起点”的定义不同。有人认为那是挫败以后重新开始,有人认为那是失落后重新出发。而我凭着一颗崭新的心境,迎接一个承载着许许多多新的希望与梦想的起点。来临的周一,我即将踏上全新的起跑点。纵然心里还是有一些些的忧虑,能否胜任新的任务,能否适应新的工作环境,能否和新同事们一拍即合?!?! 老公说:“人生嘛,就是不断地适应新的生活。Just do your best!”也许接下来的日子我未必得意,但决不会气馁。我想,人若是拥有重来的勇气,那么就没有所谓的害怕前进。
