The joy of sharing
分享的喜悅
如果分享是喜悅，歡迎您來到我的網誌。由於我在早兩年才真正進入數碼時代，所以只能在此跟您分享近年，尤其是讀書時的大小事。(其中我已抽取了娛樂性比較高的照片，所以應該不會太沉悶。)
讀書時純樸的生活雖然值得懷念，但工作助我成長。
珍惜現在，展望將來。對嗎？
Welcome to my life <3

- 讀書時的我，樂天知命，一臉稚氣。雖然經常烏龍百出，但對於新奇刺激的事物絕對有很深的體會。如>> 「日語營」 << 及其 >> 晚宴 <<
- 南非遊學時，學習當地的歴史文化，探訪貧乏區，登>> Table Mountain <<, 擁抱大自然，更在>> Safari的日與夜 <<與野生動物作近距離接觸，其中在>>「野外Bushmen體驗營」<< 及 >> 被野猴一家襲擊<< 的經驗更是難忘。

Nov 13
During the 3-hour long lunch meeting, I was like...
"I think we should... cough! cough!"
"I suggest... cough! cough!"
"I ... cough! cough! cough!"
As a result, my boss told me to oversee other assistants to work on my task. I actually wish he would have said that I should leave work early.
Nov 14-16
自生病起的每日餐單：粥 + 熱檸蜜 + 幾粒Ricola
雖然每天早上的病況比較嚴重，但我認為應可無藥自愈，所以一直拒絕食藥。
Nov 17
今早醒來，喉嚨突然痛得利害。到了中午，某人給我一粒神奇話梅，果然沙啞的聲線變得明亮起來。
但入夜後，由於咳得太嚴重了，無法入睡，終於要在把四年來第一口的咳藥水喝下。

Getting ill and recovered
十一月十日
突然病倒了。而且是好病那一種。
Primary cause: workload (I don't think my friends had gotten me into this over the weekend)
Secondary cause: cold weather
The workload overstressed me and got me ill. I started coughing in the afternoon, but very soon, I was coughing as if my lungs were about to come out in the evening.
十一月十一日
When I woke up this morning, I was struggling whether I should go to work because of my condition. I also was unable to say a word... kind of pitiful. I ended up going because I had to be AT two teleconferences. In fact, the meetings got canceled. If I had known it in advance, I would have called sick and stayed at home. I felt much better after having congee for lunch (heehee)
Someone had told me: "Refused to be sick." I tried and it worked at school, but it hasn't been working very well lately. 有時侯，我發現自已原來很柔弱。
十一日十二日
I woke up coughing with a dry throat. Perhaps my heat at home was too strong last night. Need to drink more water.
~~Get Well to everyone~~ Stay warm!!!

"The Athens of America"
Boston--a place I visited about ten years ago. Today, my friend and I found ourselves wandering in this lovely city with my google maps and list of restaurants.
Our first stop was a brief window shopping on Newbury Street. Instead of being a shopaholic, we had a pear-ginger upsidedown cake at L'Amora Cafe.
This is the facade of the building where one of the Finale restaurants is located.
We ordered Finale Forest, Razzmatazz, [Boston cream cake] and a soup for lunch there.
By the lagoon, a squirrel came to us, standing there patiently. Apparently it was eager to be fed. Soon enough, it got disappointed and walked away.
Without a Lonely Planet in hand, we realized that we had missed The Freedom Trail that we were just walking along towards Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In fact, we indulged ourselves with 2 scoops of Joey's Gelato (green apple and mint chocolate) in Quincy Market. We decided to have an early dinner at Union Oyster House. The rotating miniature of this historic site at the window of the gift shop drew our attention. After a brief shopping, we turned ourselves in to a waitress who later brought us to the Colonial Room for dinner. We simply ordered a Shore Dinner.
After that, we made our move to Boston Chowda where I ordered a small Clam Chowda and a Lobster pie to go.
We took the train from State station to South Station to catch a bus for our return.

是日心情=是日天氣=陰陰沉沉
因為Subway跳站令我遲到，加上她的態度令我氣上心頭，所以一大清早就好嬲。改期？仍是未知之數。居住在城市，Walk it off 可算是最簡單的調節心情方法。走累了，自然氣也消了。洗澡後，再次精神奕奕，心情靚靚地去歎茶。

November 4th and 5th
走訪記
昨天為了令今天的時間表空出一點時間來溫習，我把兩天的行程合起來。跟友人聯絡後，就出門了。在十二小時內，我到過紐約上城，Brooklyn, 再返Manhattan。
整天在Subway及人群中穿插。Coffee 完又Coffee。一Tea再Tea。之後仲有甜品。
One of the highlights is The Hungarian Pastry Shop on Amsterdam Avenue.
A neighborhood-friendly cafe with neither air conditioning nor music. It has indoor and outdoor seating. The order was to be delivered to the table. It's dim inside, but I found myself seating by the wall where a wall light is located.
When I was walking home, I heard people screaming. I had no clues why they got so excited on a Tuesday evening until I heard "O-ba-ma."
悠閒的一天
今天應該可以把那封遲遲未完成的信寫完。

November 3rd
I signed up for a pastry course more than a month ago at Cha-An. They called me up to confirm over the weekend, letting me know that I would be the only non-Japanese in the course, which would be taught in Japanese. I knew it might be awkward, but it's not like the first time I've been to places or situation like that. So there I was, standing in a kitchen with ten Japanese students and one ABC. The majority of students seemed to be a bit older, and Chef Sato assigned me to be in a group with three younger girls (one got a call from office, so she left early). We made chestnuts tarts, though they looked more like huge macaroons to me.
其實今早感到不適，忘記食藥打底就出門去了。弱不襟風，竟就此出事了。
原先定下的行程要臨時取消，改為睡覺。醒來後，心情煩燥兼暈陀陀。幸好只浪費了大半天，就已完全康復。 (可能我底子好啦，哈!)
明日是出遊記
後日是今日行程的延續
星期四的早上不容錯失
星期五仍有待確實

November 2nd
Shortly after my post last night, I fell asleep. How ironic! Today, I was planning my week-off and trying to organize some pictures on my online album.
I am looking forward to my extraordinary pastry experience tomorrow. (How extraordinary? I will let you know, but I can say that it has something to do with communication.)
十一月，玩時玩，有些事情得要認真起來。

November 1st (morning)
十一月一日
今早爬起床，已急不及待要報告一下昨晚萬聖節狂歡晚會的盛況。
Last night, I went to my friend's apartment for a quick dinner before heading to a Halloween party. When I was showing one of my friends my green sparrow curtain holder, he broke its wings. Oh... no! At first, I was worried that the little bird would get dirty or be lost later tonight, but I realized that being a "bird without wings" made me feel uneasy because I don't know how and where to place it when I get home. I also asked my girl friend to do my last minute nail because my hands were too shaky. In fact, manicures require more practice.
It was a long journey... hah... we passed by the Halloween parade, but it did not look as exciting as last year. We got in with a little trouble. Wow! It was packed. Anyway, let's have a birthday shot and great fun will follow. Cheers!
We left the dancing hall before 3 a.m. Like everyone else, we were competing for a taxi, but ended up waiting for someone to pick us up. On the way home, many drunk people were still hanging out; one passed out at the corner of a road. There also was a traffic jam at 4:18 a.m... (Oh, this is New York on a Halloween Friday, no wonder.)
Was I sleeping?
When I was sleeping, my mind seemed to have been running in the past hours, and I woke up without feeling tired at all. Same thing happened not long ago. Was I really sleeping that night? I wonder. Anyway, I am going to order a large coffee for my breakfast.
