今天放工後，還是到gym去嘗試慢跑。雖然慢慢跑著，但是當我能跨出每一步向前跑時，而且呼吸自如，我是感到非常安慰的。希望從今天開始，身體能慢慢再次強壯起來，身心也應該跟著放輕鬆。這是我現在生活最重要的事情了。

在家裡休息時，還好有好聽的音樂陪伴。看書時，下午小睡片刻時，都會輕輕播著一些音樂。感覺真的好很多。之前有位朋友給了我一些歌曲，我都非常喜歡。在此分享一首我還相當喜歡的其中一首歌。原來是蠻久之前的歌了。

不料，星期二我却又再病倒了。可能上回的病菌太强硬了，感冒再次发作，又发烧。病假了将近两天。我想我吓到我的朋友们了。好街坊Kay还提议让我到她家去休息，以免晚上不舒服而我又是一个人。隔天，她又很担心的要为我带点东西过来。真的很谢谢她=) 我是有点累，但还好，还能自己下厨煮午餐晚餐的。休息了一天半，真的好很多。

病假完，回到办公室，有点迷糊。开始工作的早晨，我对我旁边的同事Machi说，今天是我的农历生日，而每年这个时候，妈妈都会提醒我得吃面。他就很快的凑集了我在公司的朋友，来个午餐生日聚会！我迷迷糊糊的，How问我是否喜欢巧克力或芝士，我说不行喉咙很痛。后来他与chenjin说些什么我都停不清楚。（耳朵因为感冒，有点塞住了）原来他问的是蛋糕的口味啊！后来午餐在茶楼，他们俩迟迟没到。Fanny说他们可能去买花，Sinki说是惊喜，我却担心他们俩去错餐馆了。原来是蛋糕，也不算惊喜因为他们其实也已经问了我喜欢什么口味。只是我根本没有听清楚！太好笑了。大家都笑个不停，各自有各自的想法！午饭吃得也很开心，大家有说有笑。我看着大家，想起当初大家初认识时，对彼此有很多负面得看法，也为了工作吵过。今天能有说有笑，真是太好了！蛋糕拿出来后，Fanny高歌广东版生日歌，How高歌英文版生日歌。后来又大派蛋糕！Machi和How就吃了一大半！chenjin，Sinki，Fanny 和 我 就 吃另一大半！他们俩还真能吃！真的太感谢他们了啊，带给我那么多欢乐。让我带着一颗满满的心回家去。

虽然这个星期病倒了，但是我却感受到很多的关怀，实在是太幸运了吧。

所以说，今天是让我感恩惜福的一天。

雖然感冒了，還好沒有發燒。所以還不算太嚴重。希望多多休息，多喝水，保持均衡營養，應該會沒事吧。昨天就放了一天病假，一整天在家里休息感覺很好。工作方面每一天都是未知數，也無法想像有甚麼事情可能發生。所以跟一位同事發了短訊，也就把工作拋到九霄雲外去了！我還真覺得放這一天病假是對的。因為今天回到工作崗位，頭腦也比較清晰，心境也很平靜，做起事來效果更好。

一天病假，也換來了意外驚喜。在我的個人文件檔里，就有位朋友與我分享一些老歌。第一首是黃舒駿的 “天平座的女子”。前天才聊到彼此的星座，他就不知去哪兒找出這首歌來！你聽過嗎？我倒是覺得旋律相當熟悉。無論如何，謝謝他的分享！還蠻不錯的一首歌曲，詞也相當有趣喔。（可能因為自己是天平座吧！）

好啦。下個星期開始又是回到比較緊張的工作狀態，因為老闆放假回來了。所以很希望能快點康復，把健康與體力找回來！

This afternoon, Kelly went on her usual meeting with her colleague. But she decided to use the company’s bag to contain her usual items … sweets, cardholder with money for cab, notebook, pens, scale rule, drawings and her snowypixie. When Kelly and her colleague got to the meeting venue, they set things up, prepared the drawing on the table and sat down to wait for the key persons to come. Kelly reached into the bag to make sure snowypixie would keep silent during the meeting. But snowypixie was not around. Kelly thought many snowypixie stayed behind in the office. Hence, meeting started, then it ended. In an hour’s time, Kelly and colleague reached back office.

Kelly started looking for snowypixie. But, hey, it was no where to be seen. She tried calling snowypixie and there was no answer though it was ringing at the other end. She engaged her colleague to help her listen for any vibrations around them but to no avail. Kelly finally realized that snowypixie must have been separated from her at some point after lunch. After talking to a few colleagues whom she went lunch with, the conclusion was snowypixie might have been left on the cab.

Kelly’s good friend at work, Fanny, quickily pointed out that she should head down to the police station right away. Meanwhile, her colleagues continue to call her phone. So off she went, and made a report at the police station. With the cab receipt on hand, the policeman was able to track down the taxi owner in less than 3mins, called him up, asking for the driver. The owner was the driver!

“夏先生，我係北角警屬打來架。有位女子報左案話電話有可能遺留在你架的士。請你安全停底架車，睇下後面座位是否有部iphone，粉紅色殼。慢慢來，我等你。”

“係。有？真係有？好！甘你而家要去邊？…. 不如我吩咐個 女子打比你。佢講英文wor…..”

(Kelly went into English mode when she stepped into the police station….)

Kelly exclaimed, “我識聽啊 …siu siu ok gar!”

“夏先生，甘好啦！個小姐會打比你。請你要留意個電話來電。道謝你！＂
” okay miss Ng, you will call Mr Ha today and see how he can pass you your phone. After u get back the phone, please call to close the case. This is his number.”

Kelly hurried back to office to break this wonderful news to her colleagues. By 4.30pm, she and snowypixie were reunited!

=)

How thankful! How thankful Kelly felt today……!!

在小路上走著，或許會缺乏明朗的前景，或許會兜兜轉轉，偶而更會迷路。不過，你還是很想看看在小路的那一端，是否能有驚喜，而因此獲得不一樣的體驗。因為小路未曾有直接的結果，所以當中會奪去很多寶貴的歲月。從現實的角度之下，走在小路上的時間，達到的成就看來不實在，無法衡量，也未曾獲得認同。但仔細再想想，你能一直帶著走完人生旅程的東西，莫過於這些生活體驗。不管這些體驗是好或壞，都是生活上的體驗，不是嗎？

現在的我，有些人會認為她為何仍然留在一個不屬她的地方，為何不盡早回家做更實在的東西。我最近也一直在思考。竟然我已經決定走這條路，我就要繼續走下去。回家後所面對的實在事情、去為那個目標奮鬥會非常艱難，但是，留在原地也未必是一件簡單的事情。當初走這一步的勇氣來自一個夢想。現在留下來的勇氣來自一份信念；相信這個決定能帶給我不同的生活體驗，讓自己更勇敢。

從開始念書到現在，已12年。成為一位建築師的路途原來是那麼漫長。說到這個目標，距離我仍然非常遙遠，似乎不觸手可及。每當想起，心里特別沈重，一點信心都沒有。心想，到了這個人生階段，事業感情都沒有成就，加上濕濕的天氣，結果沮喪了幾天。後來在我跑步的當兒，得到一個啟示，發現一個相對的比較。論跑步，我起步慢，跑了幾年依然慢慢的跑，沒有大突破。但是我知道只要我繼續跑，慢慢調整跑步的姿勢，保持一個跑者應有的身體與健康條件，相信有一天我會跑得更遠。論健康，我一向身體弱，但是接近一年來堅持勤勞得運動，我的身體狀況比之前好很多。這跟生活是一樣的，無論多困難都必須堅持下去。只希望現今的體驗與成長，能助我達成那個遙遠的建築師目標。

或許其他跑者已跑在我前面，有的也已經達到終點，我還是要繼續跑下去，不能放棄。

無論需要多少時間，最重要是能達到目的地。

好吧！照片在這兒！歡迎參觀我的小小天地 =)

小小天地景觀如何？下個post再放些照片！

Of course, I was reluctant to get out of bed!  It’s Saturday!  I finally got off the bed at 7am.  After a shower, I was out for my morning errands.  The security guard chatted with me for a long while when I got downstairs.  Well, a good start to a Saturday morning I guess!

Made pasta for lunch and I started to sort out Paris/London photos.  This would definitely take me a while to do!  Let’s see how long I will take to sort everything out.  As I got really absorbed into sorting out the photos, I forgot about time and missed the 4pm yoga class.  But there was a new 5pm class!  Hence, was off at 4.35pm to the gym.  It was a great class as I felt surprisingly rejuvenated after that. As I had brought along my trainers and shorts, I continued for a short 20min jog.  I was missing running a great deal!  At the same time, would like to try out some new songs I added to my running list.  hee!!

Dinner was simple with rice and chicken.

It is a peaceful Saturday =)

从欧洲回来之后，我其实没有停下来过。因为有很多事情需要解决，需要做决定。新得房子找到了后，就开始收拾旧房子里的东西。由于新房子真的很小，所以收拾起来是不容易的，只可以把真正需要的个人用品搬过去，其余的不是丢掉，就是捐赠给救世军。我在收拾东西搬家的同时，我的室友却收拾东西搬回家，回新加坡。在这段时间里，我们常会聊起很多这三年在香港的时光，难免会很伤感。不过，到了这样的地步，我们唯一能做的只有一直向前走，向前看。我们又继续收拾，继续为生活上即将有的变动做准备。有一两天，我累得都不想收拾，给自己放假一两天。过后，在奋斗。慢慢的，也接近搬出旧房子的日子。我们好舍不得。但舍不得又如何。我们有多次聊到房子时，都是眼睛湿湿的。

在准备搬家的这段期间，我已经一个人上班，一个人下班。整体上还好；只是在公司我少了一个谈话的对象，一个可以完全了解我的人。其实，我觉得我们已经是太幸运了。自从毕业以来，我们已经很有缘分，很有幸地一起工作了5年。我们一直对这个心存感恩。现在，一个人上班下班其实大多数人都如此。这也是为什么我选择再留下来一段日子。因为我觉得我必须可以一个人面对工作上的问题，因为有时候真的只能靠自己。

再说回搬家。是的。我在6月7日完全搬进新的住宿。这个小小的房子，将会是我接下来在香港的小天地。虽然她真的很小，厨房很小，浴室更小（还有一些毛病），我依然觉得在这个小房子能给我安全感，给我轻松的感觉，没有压迫感。希望能尽快完全整理好所有物品啦！小小的房子更需要心思去想如何把所有东西安排妥当。我的室友Ting在我的小小新家住了4－5个晚上。看见她挤在沙发床上，行李也没有什么地方可以放，而且浴室又那么小。我真的有点过意不去。希望她这几晚是睡得舒服的。现在回到新加坡家，应该可以睡得更好吧！在她还没回家之前，她帮了我很多忙，又是搬家，又是整理房子，又是安排很多东西，又是照顾我的妹妹。真的很感谢。谢谢你啊！

离别那天，我只想着未来日子会更好的可能，而我们都会在我们的选择过得开心愉快。所以就把眼泪都收起来。其实，眼泪也流过了，不舍也说过了，剩下得就仅有前面的路了。祝福你快乐。祝福我也快乐。最重要是大家健康。

Yes, I am on my own now.

It is great to be able to sleep … normally again! yay!

Jet lag probably affected me for 3 days…  The other days of the past 1 week, I was so pre-occupied with a lot of other things.  Now that I have started packing and moving things over to the new place, I can almost feel myself more … relaxed.  I have moved probably more than half of my personal belongings to the new place.  (thanks to the rapid help of 2 very strong friends… I was not helping much :p) Furthermore, I already have 3 bags of things to be given away to the Salvation Army.   This downsizing exercise is good because it would mean I have lesser things to transport back to Singapore!  My dear sis is coming in about less than 10 days time.  She intends to come with a huge luggage to help me transport whatever that I do not need back home first.  Thanks dear!

I did some measurement of the apartment yesterday, drew it out and layout the furnitures.  A couple of items from the current place definitely have to be given away… No choice since it is a much smaller place.  

Moving house could be stressful and very tiring.  On the other hand, I do enjoy it because it gives me a chance to really clear out things that have been sitting around with a coat of dust on them.  It is also this process that I realise that one person actually may not really need to have so many things!  ( … I have so many bags! shoes! … )  We shall see how I can try not to increase the amount of things I possess from now on

Have a relaxing sunday
