富士山

我去過日本很多次，有兩次是特別去到箱根，希望可以一邊泡澡，一邊欣賞富士山的美景。可是偏偏這麼多次我都沒這個榮幸看到富士山。不知道為何每次去的時候，都有厚厚一層的雲包圍著她。彷彿很害羞似的。我很多同事都有看到富士山。不是在路上，就是在新幹線上，不然就是在飯店。我們住的飯店是可以看到的。反正我就是見不到富士山就對了。

這一次我們到日本開會。還特地去到一個叫富士山湖的渡假村住兩天。還沒去之前，我很興奮的看了天氣預告。天啊，都是下雨天呐。怎麼這樣？心中有點失望的說。我老闆說他之前的兩個星期都在日本。那兩個星期的天氣超好的。還安慰我說應該還是可以看到富士山的。他還給我看了他上週在房間拍到的富士山美景+_+ 

後來我看到同事們，就跟他們道歉的說，真的不好意思，只要有我在，好像就看不到富士山喔。結果第二天我們提早開完會，趕緊上車去富士山湖畔。原本早上還有點下雨和陰天，結果當天富士山出現了一阵子。我好開心。終於見到本山了！ 大家替我開心。呵呵

第三天和第四天就沒那麼好運了。我為了看富士山和日出，特地早起去展望台等待。七早八早就起床。看到厚厚的雲層包圍著她，我心裡一直想请雲兒趕快散去。好想把雲朵撥開呢。等了15分鐘，其他旅客一一離開了，我還是堅持雲朵一定會散去的。結果，我等了半小時。厚厚的雲層還是圍繞著她(´･_･`)

mt Fuji was hiding behind the thick layer of clouds

富士山躲在後面，就是不願意出來跟我說早安。我只好默默的回房再繼續睡。那天下雨了。

第四天，還是下著雨。不過我老闆說中午應該可以看到她。結果，中午看到這樣的富士山～（−＿−；）

Mt Fuji appearing slowly but not fully

若隱若現。富士山還是不願意出來跟我會面。後來我們的旅遊巴司機叫我不要難過。他說，富士山是日本傳說中的女神。如果有漂亮的女生在，她會吃醋。吃醋的時候就會把自己藏起來。我看著同事們，高興的說，原來如此！我終於明白為什麼我每次來都看不到她了。大家為我歡呼。呵呵。後來我老闆說，他也明白了。居然富士山是女的，那麼她一定很喜歡帥哥，難怪他每次去都會看到富士山！喔～～～原來如此。謎底解開了！哈哈哈

因為我每次看不到富士山，所以就買了一堆的富士山仿造品來紀念她～看我多用心啊～～ 富士山真的不給我面子嚛

Bringing Mt Fuji back home

可能是因為我的坚持打動了富士山女神。第五天我們離開當天，她終於出現在我眼前了！而且還有近距離的接觸！我當天也蠻幸運的。大家在飛機上，旁邊都坐滿了人，只有我一人的位子窗旁沒人，刚好我的位子就是富士山的方向。那天富士山就像聽到我的心聲和被我打動，而出現跟我說再見。我很有信心，下次一定還可以看到她唷。皇天不負苦心人～

富士山，下次見喔

Multiple personalities

Do you ever feel like you are different when you are with different people? Do you ever notice that you also have different personalities when you are speaking in different languages?

I do~~~ sometimes I talk more when I am with people im comfortable with... It does not matter which languages I speak in.. As long as I am with people I like and comfortable with, I can talk about anything and everything.

Sometimes I talk less when I speak in a different language other than my mother tongue. I notice when I am processing inside, it is also in my mother tongue. People once said if you want to know what language you talk to yourself in, try counting something and see which language you use... I think it is almost 100% accurate!

I think I have a different personality when I speak in English... After all, some stuff is hard to express in English... So I tend to just let it go... 

I think I also have a different personality when I need to speak in English to someone I am not comfortable with... 

how about you?

Bloody painful

久不久就聽到 Jennifer  受傷的事情。大多都是因為自己不小心而引起的皮肉之痛。也因此，我為他吟了一首词~~~~

"First time is accident, second time is coincident, third time is intelligence problem, forth time is she-loves-pain"

I always believe in Karma but sometimes you just cannot help for saying or doing something you knew you would regret....well...Karma happened after a few days....maybe it is a sign to tell me to shut up, so Jenn, no more phrases from me anymore.

On Sunday night, I was playing with my phone on my bed. As usual, before i go to sleep, i will always charge my phone as i use it as my alarm clock. And also because of a bad experience previously when i didn't charge my phone and i ended up missing a meeting with my boss & a person from US! i had to make up stories to tell him why i was late and he couldn't reach me :( So charging phone is very important to me now.

Anyway, going back to my story.... that day, i cleaned by place and used the plug...so the plug was a bit far from my bed. Being lazy, i decided to just reach the plug from my bed...who knows, i just slipped from my bed. it all happened to fast but i knew my head was going to the night table direction and the sharp edge.

Not wanting to hurt my eyes, i turned my head a bit so that it hit on my side. I heard a LOUD bang. GOSH, it was a hard one and really painful. I think i might have concussion after that... i kept rubbing my head hoping it will not swell... then i touched something sticky. OMG OMG, it was my blood. Did i crack my head open? Should i go to the hospital? what number should i call? these are the questions going through my head at the moment.

i quickly went to the mirror to check...PHEW, luckily it was only my ears being wounded but there was a lot of blood. i could also feel that my head was swollen a bit..

That night, i went to sleep with pain. I could not move much while sleeping as i didn't want to sleep on my wound. my ears might still be bleeding and might stain the pillow case. I kept imagining myself waking up in a pool of blood!

the next day, i woke up with neck pain and shoulder pain in addition to the wound pain...Luckily i did not wake up in a pool of blood and the swell was gone...still a bit painful now but bearable...

How to wash my hair tomorrow? how about washing left side only? hahaha...

Moral of the story?

1. Don't laugh at other people because there is something called KARMA
2. Don't be lazy and just get off the bed to do whatever you need to do

11.11

It's that time of the year again!!

• Single's Day
• Sale Day
• Memorial day for Australia on World War 2
• My friends' wedding anniversary
• My friend's birthday
• THE TWINS' birthday!!

yup, that is how auspicious and important this day is...even business men would like to make this day into something special so that they can boost more sales! i love my birthday...it's hard to forget (but people still forget), it is easy to remember (but people still forget)...sounds the same to you? of coz, just like our birth date, it does not matter how you twist it, it is still 1111!!

so, every year, i have to leave a mark here to mark our birthday coz that is how special it is (as if!) ...actually it is just another year...wiser of coz... this year, i managed to go back to KCH for the weekend and i have to say, it's the best year of celebration since i didn't get to celebrate for long long time with my family and friends. 

Last year, i was in Japan and i had my birthday dinner alone..but it was good coz i had a full course meal with cold cold beer in the winter and some more, there was a huge Xmas tree accompanying me! 

On Friday night, Jenn had a surprise birthday gathering from a group of friends, which i returned a favor to them by showing up at the cafe. It was fun to see the shocking faces. haha... We were touched when friends showed up with birthday cakes but most importantly, with love :)

i love all of you. I think the greatest gift is not the birthday wishes, but to grow old together (be it physically or mentally).

Thanks for accompanying me all along all these years~
