My very first after hours on-call business came in at about 8:34pm. I was sitting in the couch, eating hot spicy pork soup out of a big glass bowl while watching Dr. “Becker” was having a funny conversation with his girlfriend Chris. It was loud but cosy. I thought I probable will be lucky enough [...]

Here are some thoughts, based on what’s recently ACTUALLY happening in the office and what have been perceived by people about what’s happening in the office: A. People play games. It’s definitely something inevitable in this world. We see it in the previous human being’s history, and in their natures all the time. B. People [...]

At our home, this year’s Day Time Saving started from Saturday night. We tuned every clock (watch) that we could find in this house making them one hour earlier. As a result, the time difference between Canberra and Beijing is 3 hours, which means when the bed time comes up at about 10pm for us, [...]

After one month’s no driving practise at all (due to my ankle problem), I got on the road again this morning for shopping around for our this week’s groceries. First was going to Dickson for Asian food, then to Fyshwick for veggies and fruits, the last was back to Queanbeyan for other stuff. After I [...]

I suppose that I am getting to the stage where my mind can surrender to my heart I am not sure how many percentage of rational thinking actually had been involved to my every single decision, but clearly I know this time, right the moment when I was standing among rows of rows of book [...]

最近这周,从星期一到星期五,天天晚上睡得累乎乎的。早上起来浑身酸软、疲倦,象刚生了一场大病。更折磨人的是:这段时间每晚都做些稀奇古怪的梦。一会儿梦见大学时代的生活,一会又梦见二十多年没见过的故人。虽然没有一个是噩梦,但多多少少有些悲凉的成分。早上醒来,恍然意识到时光不再,故人已去,不由联想到过往年轻时留有的遗憾和曾经的过失,不免心里有些淡淡的凉意。 我本来不是个喜欢怀旧的人,不过怀旧倒也自然,偶尔出现倒也罢了。让我觉得更疲倦的是梦境中的荒唐。前天晚上,我竟然梦见自己擒拿了一个偷窃我自行车的小姑娘。我凶神恶煞地穷追不舍,非逼人家说出姓名、地址和所在学校。最后她告诉我她在体师开办的一所中专就读。那么多年住在体师后门进出的地方,我从来没听说过体师还有中学。不过在梦里,我就相信了。 倒也奇怪,那个年轻的女孩子犹豫了一下,居然什么都招给我了。事后,我还专门跑到体师家属宿舍楼去找他闹事,结果碰上她的邻居,个个听了我的故事后都面带轻蔑,但一点也不惊讶于这个女孩做出这样的事情来,好像她似乎有“前科”,名声不太好。 梦醒后,我想起这事儿,自己都觉得很惊愕,搞不明白我为什么会跟一个手无寸铁、比我小那么多的小女孩儿较真儿,还那么不依不饶、步步紧逼。我试图反省这女孩儿在我现实中所代表的符号和象征意义——被侵犯感?对困境的一种自信的控制感?或者需要一种对自我猜测和言行举止的肯定和进一步强化?…… 我无从知晓,但是潜意识里我最不愿意承认的一种可能性是:我已经到了一个开始要嫉妒年轻人的年龄。这种想法让我有点颤栗。难道这会是我为什么要和一个年轻女孩子为敌的原因???不过我不明白的是,在我的生活中,基本上并没有这样一个现实具体的年轻人物的存在,我自己也一直认为在对待衰老的问题上比较从容而冷静。 好在所有的梦里都看不到焦虑的情绪,否则我会不会感觉更累呢?也好在所有的梦在我醒来之后都烟消云散,不管是我想努力抓住和挽留的瞬间,还是挣扎苦痛的时刻,一切都在我睁开眼睛后变成回忆,是另外一个世界里我的一段短暂的存在,和留下的淡淡的痕迹。
