    赚了一天!

    今天早上很神奇

    话说8点半到了公司,吃吃早餐,翻翻报纸,刚坐下来准备看资料

    突然啪的一声

    居然停电了!!!!

    有人顿时说That's awesome, I can go home

    然后大家就开始玩Trivia,Ball....

    接着有人过来通知说一天都不会有电,大家可以回家了,只有开会的人留下

    有个同事就说I can't open my computer, how can I check my schedule to see whether I have meeting or not,everything is inside"

    你说以前没有电脑的时候,都怎么活的

    我manager很干脆的跟我们说你们回家吧。马上抓起包就走了~

    走到电梯口的时候,发现电梯不work,一堆人就deng deng deng 下了14层楼

    出大楼的时候,大家都有点欣喜若狂得不知所措了

    原来白赚的一天这么开心!有点像小学中学刮台风停课的感觉

    然后我跳上地铁,用了10分钟仔细思考了一下去哪,后来决定不折腾了,回家弹琴+睡午觉吧

    N久都没有好好睡个午觉了,阳光充足的窗子下,抱个大抱枕,超幸福的

    BTW,这是星期五才送来的琴,也给了我下班马上回家的一个最好理由

    美好一周末

    Housemate去旅行了~
    我就开始“造反”了,哈哈,请了一帮church friends coming over to my place~
    算是庆祝最近一系列的事情,加上Spring's coming, nice weather,School break.
    加上手痒,想煮餐大的~
    家里挂上橙色气球,铺上白色加橙色桌布~然后就有了这桌

    然后以前homestay father 说离开悉尼之前想听我吹管(说了几年了,都被我敷衍过去了,哈哈)
    于是就拿着管和吉他去了wastons bay
    CIMG2844
    有了这张还蛮酷的照片,第一次在室外吹单簧管~而且这么美的风景~
    以前总怕在室内吹太吵,所以很长时间都没练
    都没想起来可以去这种Bay吹,
    在中国可能很突兀,但在澳洲,totally normal~

    很美好的一周末~

    Finally a pass

    So, I finally passed my driving test, Yay

    My previous boss said it is ground breaking news! haha

    Well, this has been an ongoing issue, and I took my first test right after having 12- hour lessons, didn't have enough practise.

    It's all about timing I guess, luckily I have my previous home stay father here for 1.5 months so that we could practice some~

    He helped me a lot with building up my confidence !!! Before I went in today, he said, "you will get it this time, and never gonna come back again"

    He said the reason i failed is because he didn't teach me. Otherwise, I could have passed at the first time~

    It was raining this morning, and I wasn't surprised, coz whenever i have something important, it rains.

    But the weather turned out to be really good later on.

    The examiner was nice too, i told him i seriously hate this place, don't wanna come back again, he said, " same here", haha

    Anyway, I can now drive legally with a Full license la~~

    Thanks for those prayer as well~

    Another new chapter~~

    今天正式开始新的工作

    崭新的一页

    原来绕了一圈,God还是给我了最初一直想要的工作~

    上个月的时候, I prayed before I went into the last interview, I prayed that if he really thinks I am not suitable for this job or I haven't fully prepared, please dont give it to me.

    比起刚刚毕业的时候,去广告公司面试,我报以很大希望,失败后又很失落的那种心情,现在确实成长了很多

    神早就说过, 不要过分忧虑,因为他为我们担当所有了

    他还说“你們落在百般試煉中、都要以為大喜樂.

    因為知道你們的信心經過試驗、就生忍耐。

    但忍耐也當成功、使你們成全完備、毫無缺欠”。

    如果当时一毕业拿到这份offer,即使工作了,也会很茫然吧~~

    经过这些时间的2份工作,也从中学到了不少经验,教训

    现在的确是一个很好的Timing~~

    每天可以坐Train经过悉尼大桥,看海看歌剧院,看city全景,心情无比畅好

    今天第一天,发现很多让人兴奋的细节~

    之前公司的人跟我说了,有很多免费的杂志,我以为是放在那里大家想看就过去拿来看一下

    谁知道,不同杂志社的人,到我们公司来,给每个人派一本!

    都是Marie Carie,Vogue, Gossip Magazines, Entertainment, TV guide等等

    我今天就收了6本, 他们送杂志的态度及其好,说以前怎么没见过我,然后就塞名片

    我以前都只是偶尔去书店看一堆杂志,不怎么会买回家。

    现在可以有N多免费杂志看了~~笑

    公司一群女人统一翻翻刚到的杂志, Gossip一下, 不过那些Hollywood名人的八卦,我都不是太感兴趣

    讲食物的杂志比较有吸引力~

    另外,公司说,员工每天坐的时间太长, 每个月会provide monthly massage~

    一年4次全公司晚餐

    Kitchen很多好吃的~

    打开抽屉,里面居然有溜溜球,扑克牌, 小药箱~

    本子是Adshel provide的,很漂亮~

    果然很女人的公司

    另一个Team的Client有Chanel,听说他们有Free product sample收~

    I am thankful that my parents didnt push me to study what I don't like

    I am thankful that God has been walking me through all the decision makings and all these days

    I am thankful that I can still stay in Sydney , continue to worship him and honor him

    一个像玩一样的专业, 即使写Long essay 也有passion

    一个像玩一样的工作,即使有OT, 也不觉得累

    这些年,接触过的广告人,没有一个抱怨工作闷过

    也许,这也是为什么广告长久以来吸引我的原因吧

    Looking forward to tomorrow~

    Happy Mid-Autumn day~

    决定要好好重新开始记录生活了~

    今年好像都没怎么写日志~

    突然间, 悉尼天气放晴,气温猛增10度,整个城市都焕然一新的感觉~

    中秋~~~听说家里有很多月饼,各式各样,可是吃不到,太远了!!!

    周五的时候,教会活动~Bible study提前一小时结束,吃月饼庆祝~

    周六~Sammie真是有远见,说星期天会下雨,所以要星期六赏月

    于是,很中国的去了中国大酒楼吃饭~几乎都是深圳人, 所以很有过中秋的感觉

    CIMG2754     

    之后去了Glebe,Anzac Bridge下的一个公园, 景色很不错的说~很安静

    买了很多很多灯笼,传统的那种~

    风很大,我们很努力才把蜡烛点着,撑起灯笼,把它们都挂在树上, 很漂亮很有气氛

    吃月饼,赏月,玩游戏。

    游戏快笑死了~~

    今天~果然,下很大雨, 下午1个小时的太阳,赶紧跑出去打篮球

    希望中国今天有个好天气,给大家赏月吧~

    中秋快乐!

    无辣不欢

    一直忘了上传上次去蜀相坊的照片~
    在悉尼,很久没吃到让我吃的“感动”的菜了
     
    够正宗。虽然没有深圳的巴蜀风、巴乡缘,陶然居,锦官城,满江红那么多菜式。。。。
    还是相当不错的!!辣度适中,没有辣翻天的地步
    照片依次: 夫妻肺片,干煸大肠,泡椒墨鱼仔, 蹄花白豆汤,蒜香烤羊排,毛血旺
    它的其它菜也相当不错,装修古色古香
    位于broadway shopping centre隔壁
    喜欢吃辣的人,在悉尼的,有空去光顾吧~

    教师节+中学校友聚会

    昨天教师节~
    给以前最尊敬的Mr Chen发了一封Email,他教我们班英语三年,印象中没怎么上过英语课,却学到很多有用的人生哲理
    很好笑的是,他有次跟我说, "你这次数学没考好,上我的课的时侯,妳自己把握,可以做数学题,我上的这些东西你应该都会了”
    还有一次班会上谈论男女学生感情问题时,他当嘉宾,居然说:”孩子们,你们要记住,以后走向社会,你们会觉得高中的感情很单纯,珍贵,你们要珍惜,要爱就好好的爱,不要玩弄感情,很多人到了后来,还是找回高中同学。。。“听得我们一愣一愣的~
     
    记得01年我和snow坐在他办公室里,我说老师,我以后的梦想是进4A广告公司,做广告
    很多老师一味的跟学生说,学金融会计电脑吧, 好找工作。或者说上个好学校,专不专业无所谓。
    或者说以后没有多少工作是和专业相关的等等。
    有的老师说,别在那做梦,好好做作业,考上大学再说。真的很煞心情
    他们不知道,没有passion, 考什么大学!
    他不一样,他说,“你很适合做这方面的工作,符合你的性格,一定要坚持自己的梦想,知道吗,好好努力”
    他说话很有鼓舞力,原话记不太清楚了
    记得那时候执着自己梦想的,说以后想要从事某种职业的人不多
    现实的,志愿考什么大学的人一大堆
    所以当时挺欣赏snow,为了电影,没有雄厚家庭背景,一个人大冷天跑去北京考北影。
    现在已经在那儿过完了充实的大学四年
     
    我说,我很感谢他当时的鼓励,虽然很久了,可是我一直记得。现在实现梦想第一步,进了4A广告公司,挺感慨
    Mr Chen回信速度超快~1个小时他回了,
    “I always think you are suitable for creative
    job. Now you do.”
     
    7年过去了,好多同学都在工作或者读硕士,想想以前的日子,说过的话,站在艺术长廊的课间, 觉得超神奇的
    老师真的会觉得我们是他们培育的花草,慢慢长大,遍布各地吧,
    只是毕业多年,大家依然觉得值得感谢的老师,也没几个吧
    太多东西都变了
    只是有些感情还在,梦想还在。
     
    发一张上个星期在悉尼, 实验同学聚会的照片~

    Don't boast about tomorrow

    James 4:14  Boasting about tomorrow
    You who say: today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there, doing business and making money. Yet you do now even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say: If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that. As it is , you boast in your arrogance, all such boasting is evil.
     
    When I read bible, a calm set in me,  I always find the big wisdom behind it, and feel how silly I was. God transform us in a certain way under his plan, mostly through his words and his people
     
    Yes, nothing wrong to have dreams, nothing wrong to plan ahead , nothing wrong to set goals
    But just sometimes we are so small and we don't even know what is good for us in a big picture, in a long run.
    We center ourselves too much, and easily become arrogant , we think we can see through tommorrow, we can judge people, we can do whatever we like
    These wll always end up with hurting others' feelings, self disappointment, pressure, stress 
    However we can wish, we can pray, and we can make effort towards our dreams. He listens to us and he will arrange what's good for us. If the result turns out different from what we expected, it's just either we didnt try hard or we dont deserve it in the first place. 
    Regarding tommorrow? Don't worry, he will make a way for all of us.

    What a night~

    What ? August has just passed ?
    I didnt even have enough time to make up for the July blogs...well
     
    Everytime I thought I could finally chill out at home, something would happen...
    like on monday, simply wanna return a student card to a brother in church, and it turned out to be i prepared dessert for 7 people....
    Yesterday was very funny..
    So i was planning to have dinner with a friend in city, we tried hard to arrange the day that we both were available.
     
    When it was almost 5pm, I got a call from my previous homestay father Paul, who has just come back to sydney from China. He s only  here for a month, so i lent my car to him.
    He said my car was in cronulla, and he had no idea why he couldnt change the gear from P to D, which means he couldnt move the car.
    I totally trusted him as an experienced driver, and I seriously thought the car was in big trouble.
    But Cronulla is too far away for me, so I asked him.....can you call NRMA roadside assistant for help, I joined the membership anyway, they will be there soon.
    Paul said I need to be there physically, otherwise they won't do anything.
    I doubted, and I wanted to call NRMA, but again, he must know the rules way better than I do.
    So I quickly rushed to the bus stop, then train station, after ONE and HALF hour, I finally arrived cronulla, and waited another half an hour for Paul.
    And when he turned up, I was told that he mixed up the AUstralia's rule and England's rule, -----I don't need to be there in person actualy...........
    @#$#%%%I had no comment!!!The story is not finished yet.
    We waited another 30 min for his son to come over and pick us up , and we went down to the place where the car was parked, they both checked over and over.even opened the bonnet.
    Sigh, guys always wanna solve the problem by themselves~~~~
    I was having my chicken curry laksa take away in his car because I was starving and I couldnt think.
     
    So, finally, we called NRMA and the guy got there not in a while. How efficient.
    He put his hand over the gear, and it went to the D without any problem......and we were very suprised, is that because his left hand is different?
    The guy said.....well, did you press the brake while u were trying?
    OMG, how simple is that...I did it natually all the time, I didnt even think of this, and probably because he drives manual all the time, and for  some cars, it really doesnt matter!
    Well, mystery solved! we felt like so stupid, and NRMA guy caught the chance saying their slogan or sth;  "There is no embarrassing moment when you have NRMA"
    Faint~
    Such a long journey to cronulla at night, didn't get to see the beautiful beach and resort.
    Drove back to home as driving practice
    what a night~~
