Memorial Weekend

久違了,您好嗎?對於住在美國的中國人,今年的Memorial Day似乎比往年有意義。

回顧之前幾週天災不斷,地動山搖。由緬甸的風災到四川的地災,報章頭條,字裏行間,總是離不開災情,拯救進程及籌款等字眼。

連土豆仔都停工,在它的網頁中替受難者哀悼:

5月19日-5月22日 為地震中遇難的同胞哀悼
Earthquake National Mourning
Service Suspended
May 19 To May 22, 2008

儘菅如此,很多人都籍著是次長假外遊,尤其是大學生。我弟就是個好例子。

細佬第一次獨自出門,作為旅遊經驗比較豐富的家姐,當然要出手相助。凌晨時份,聯誼回來,見他仍在收拾行李,就幫他打點一下。翌日,臨行前再double check旅遊行程事宜。 然後,那backpacker就飛走了。

他出門後,我終於有時間更新個blog,和把那本「黄頁」讀完。近來,工作時只想到要控制EQ和把工完成,放工後又沉迷看電視,所以少了更新,真的不好意思。(Oh, you know what, Dancing with the Stars really has gotten me into ballroom dancing. hah!)

Innovative "Toy"

新玩意

今天公司添置了一台新「玩具」。

它比我高、比我重,是個值超過五位數字的超級放大鏡。

另外波士又訂購了一些曾斷市的小「玩意」。它的包裝看似尊貴的煙盒、卡片盒。其實那是double-package 的外層,內裏的小盒才是寶。

Rainy Day

下雨天

I am not supposed to be writing this since I am at work right now. I am supposed to be very excited about the long weekend, but I am not. Just not today.

At work, teamwork matters; missing one step can ruin everything. I understand why and what we got the blame for, and I am trying to work things out between us and them, but it's frustrating to see that things are not working.

This is burdensome...

My sorrow mood is penetrating the office. =.="

那天,我在整理電腦存檔時發現了「它」。

如今重新細味,百感交集。

Recap

我不但喜歡潛水、有時連性格都很「潛」。以往每逢休假更是定必外遊。剛剛過去的一週,公司休假,我竟然一反常態地留在紐約休養生息,相約友人茶聚。

再次見面,儘管只是閒話家常,與友人言談中的感覺總是很奇妙。同時間,我不得不承認大家真的長大了。外表可能沒有多變,心智卻明顯地成熟了不少。

另外,雖然來美多年,但我很少參觀博物館。(I didn't notice Brooklyn Museum is next to Brooklyn Botanic Garden until recently. ~.~") 這個星期卻去了兩次[博物館]。首先是蔡國強於Guggenheim Museum以火藥爆破為材 (我想他以外星為題) 的藝術展。


(Thank you Laura for taking this shot for me!)


然後從朋友口中和<<紐約時報>>的介紹中提及紐約多間博物館入夜後會變身成派對場地,聽起來頗有趣,所以我們一起去了湊熱鬧。

We chose to go to the American Museum of Natural History. I heard of the new exhibition Water: H2O = Life at the Rose Center of Earth and Space when I was watching the Colbert Report the other day, but dancing underneath the giant ball and standing next to ancient fossils was just beyond my imagination. I did it and it was fun. hah!
