people mountain people sea, Koninginnedag (Queens day), Amsterdam, Netherlands














The whole city is crazy, everything is sink into orange colored sea. Amsterdam is totally a party city. Don't know whether it is because the celebration of festival, or just simply people need an excuse to become crazy?

We were about 35 people, probably the biggest Chinese group on that day, most of us were wearing unique T-shirt, holding flag and equipped with walkie-talkie, still half getting lost in the crowd.

Maya Angelou said:

Some words from Maya Angelou, a wisdom woman...

"No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life
does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she
handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled
Christmas tree lights."

"Regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"Making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a
life."

"Life sometimes gives you a second chance."

"You shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on
both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"Every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"People will forget what you said, people will forget
what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."


Jing's comment:
"It is human being's treasure to be able to forget, to forget all the unforgivable and life is still continuing with all the forgotten."

Swiss, Switzerland



好似梦中一样,但无伦如何,我比《罗马假日》中的奥黛利·赫本幸运,她仅仅只有一天的假期,而我,有五天的假期。

从来就只是一个笨笨的,反应迟钝的小女人,仅仅一个冰淇淋就可以被傻乎乎的哄走,希望被拥抱,被宠坏,却不太相信这是真的,似乎幸福来得太容易了,而沉渗在幸福中的小女人,已经什么都不记得了,自己不是自己,仿佛整个世界都是在微笑之中。

走过一个又一个村庄,黄色的野菊花泛滥在绿茵之中,童话中带着烟囱的小木屋点缀其间,巫婆不在家,雪山就在眼前。

吹落一朵又一朵蒲公英,恍惚之中,还是那个没有长大的童年的自己。

跨过一个又一个湖区,日落,晚霞,波光,水草,天鹅,鸭子,飞虫,蝙蝠,牛粪,蜘蛛网。

坐在咖啡店前的太阳伞下,满心期盼着,等待着,只是一杯咖啡的时间,却好似一个世纪的过去。

受伤的腿还一直在痛着,只好拚命忍耐着,不想这一切被破坏掉,倒霉的痛,可恶的痛,请暂时躲避一下,不要破坏我的幸福。

是谁带我走进梦中,又将残忍的将梦中的我唤醒。可以不要醒来吗?就这样,一直生活在梦中,在人生余下的岁月中。不要醒,不要,永远不要。因为当梦醒来的一天,失落和空虚在那一刹那,会超过心脏可以承受的负荷。
