天佑尼泊尔

捐款,是我唯一能做的事。

虽然款项微不足道,但冀望至少能为他们出一点绵力。


尼泊尔,是我一个向往的国家。

印象中,她是个和平,与世无争和美丽的国度。

尤其是神秘的喜码拉雅山峰,更是我最想要去的地方之一。

一场地震,几乎把她毁了。

我的公司有100-200个来自尼泊尔的员工。虽然大部分的家属都平安,但一个员工的爸爸却在这场地震中不幸丧生了。

公司也非常快速地为他筹款。我捐了10块钱。还是那句话,虽然微不足道,但至少能减轻他的负担,毕竟他的工资不多。

那天我见到了那个员工,他的眼神里还是悲伤的。本想跟他说几句安慰的话,但最终还是把话吞进肚子里,因为不懂会否勾起他的伤心。

另外一个员工的爸爸的手臂听说被压毁了。那天也见他在工作的时候眼中有泪。我也不懂要说些什么安慰的话。

但愿尼泊尔的人民能坚强地挨过这个难关。

天佑尼泊尔。

生命力

我曾经提过,希望旅行的意义不只是吃美味的食物和拍下美丽的风景。

体验异国本土人的生活,聆听他们的故事,才是我想寻找的。


四个月前的越南之旅,让我第一次有这种感觉。

照片中,坐在第一排的女人是我们的导游。

她说了很多越南从世界第二大战至现代国家发展的故事,当中也包括她自己的生活故事。

从她充满生命力的故事里,我领悟,生活再怎么困难,我们还是要勇敢地活下去。

路,一直都在。

给孩子自由

刚刚读了一篇叶剑锋写的文章。那文章写到他的父母从小到大给了他很高的自由度。

其实,我也一样。

在小学的时候,我的英文超烂。但妈妈也只是在过目我的成绩册时罗嗦几句。除此之外,她不曾过问我的学业。爸爸因为长期在邻国工作,所以他也不曾过问。

到了中学,情况也是如此。我也不曾让他们担忧。

我想,如果我有孩子的话,我也会让他和她享有这份自由。

之前曾经跟同事讨论这个课题。

我担心我没能给他和她足够的自由。

我害怕虚荣心会蒙蔽我的眼。

我希望我不是虎爸,当然也希望她不是虎妈!

根据现在的情况(我可是半个兼职保姆),我可能是半个虎爸。

因为小孩嚎啕大哭的时候我真的无能为力。

但我发誓,我不曾对小孩动手。虽然曾弄哭他们 (唉,没办法)。

Choice, Chance, Change

”爸爸要我继续读书,妈妈要我工作。“ 实习生Ata无奈地说。 

我很幸运。因为我不曾纠结在这个问题。

人在一生中必须不停地做选择,有好的,有不好的。

在做选择时,很多时候我会犹豫、彷徨。

但我会提醒自己:

“You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change." 
...................................................................................................................................................................

我们谈到梦想。

他说他没有梦想。

更正确地来说,他曾经有梦想。

他曾经想过要当飞机师。当戴上眼镜后,梦想飘远了。

他也想过要当足球员,因为他热爱这项运动。

教练指着他说:“你可以离开了。”

他问教练为什么。教练冷冷地说:“因为你戴眼镜。”

原来,近视可以摧毁梦想。

自此以后,他失去了方向。

他问我:“你觉得我应该继续读书或跑去工作?”

这问题有点始料不及。

但我告诉他,这问题只有他自己能回答。

他说要拿我的电话号码。我问为什么。

他说他想要告诉我,他十年后的状况。

如果他选择继续读书,他说要回来这间公司实习。

因为他要证明一些东西。

 说到这儿,我想写一封信给5年后的自己。

Crossing the River from 2014 to 2015

I've been feeling unwell since Saturday morning.

The reason was because I stayed late in the Friday night playing games till 2:30 in the midnight.

Hmm, I wonder since when my body has become so weak. When I was in college and university, there would be no problem for me to stay up this late. 

I guess this is a sign of aging. But I am only 25.  

...................................................................................................................................................................

Year 2014 was a bit emotional to me.

The 2nd half of it, in particular. 

I am not going to talk about the unhappy stuffs, so let's talk about some happy stuffs.

I've claimed myself as the President of the "Go Out and Have Fun" club in the company. Haha

Well, I am organizer of some of the birthday parties, particularly of the colleagues of my department. including my manager. 

It was very fun. When I asked my colleague why we never did that in the past year, she said maybe we were "sombong"! Haha, I think it is true somehow.

Anyway, it feels great that we have become ever closer.  

I think we have together created a new and positive working environment that never existed before.

It's more blessed to give than to receive.

I understand a bit of it now. 

.................................................................................................................................................................. 

Anyway, year 2015 is finally here. So Happy New Year!

Last year, I wrote my resolutions on a paper and locked it in the drawer.

This year, I do not set any goals. 

Because it could be very meaningless unless you act.

I think the best example that I can show to you is how I lost almost 30 kg back in summer 2010.

At that time, I did not set any goal at all. I just know I want to lose weight. 

It was determination and action that made it a success.

I am not saying that setting a goal or plan is not good, but it won't work unless you act.

This year, I want to be happy and enjoy every bit of my life. 

And I am doing my best to accomplish it.
