靜語錄 Scenery of Life

當Jing回家時還沒踏入家門，隔避的鄰居告訴我，五分鐘前，有人送包裏來，不過後來見家裡沒人在，好像就又馬上離開了…

向好心的鄰居道謝後，打開門，看到地上有一張請我到住家附近的郵局領取包裏的memo。

一到郵局，馬上看到了熟悉的台灣綠色和平鴿紙盒包裝，心中充滿了莫名的感動!

想吃雞湯好久了。

家裡沒有香菇，也買不到蛤蜊。

新鮮蒜頭倒是不少。

很久很久之前，有跟朋友們分享過一篇"包餃子'的文章,  不過那時候的餃子皮是在市場買現成的。

So we’ve spent the past months running around gathering from paperwork for our wedding date; from having documents sent from the UK to TW (applications forms, booking forms and Andrew's birth certificate) to making dozens of phone calls and countless e-mail. Not only that, but I had to negotiate with my bosses to get a month off as well as make two trips to the visa office; first in Kaohsiung, then an interview at the headquarter in Taipei on June 13. The interview was mainly about going there to show these people that we have enough evidence to prove that we have not just met right before our big day and to prove that, even after we are married, we will still be together. So, we this time offered them our house lease and both of our working contract. We also prepared quite a few of our Google chat dating back in August, 2006. They photocopied the first two items and left out the chatting ones. Guess they are not too interested in being nosy of other people's "casual talks".......Anyway, hew....finally…I got my passport last night—AND IT HAS A LOVELY NEW MARRIAGE VISA IN IT!!

I've heard some people say that because a person is born in any a particular season then that person is mentally and even physically attached to that season. For me, it's quite factual. Every year in fall, I always get emotional and sentimental. It does not matter where I am, who I am with, what I do or what age I am, I simply get a sentimental feeling. There's always such a place deep within me that isolates myself from the crowded world, and in that place I can just talk to myself. No bullshit from interactions with others, no stress from reality. It's a place I call the 'REAL ME'. I can be a quiet girl, a noisy girl, and above all, just to be innocent like the way I have always been. It's really pure, clean, and peaceful place; a place that cannot physically exist.
