Nothing Ever Happened-陳奕迅

Was simply touched by this song and by his voice.
But you know what, it's not so easy to pretend that nothing ever happened- for those happened, HAPPENED.
Those loved, moved, cried, hated, dreamed, lost, fought, argued...... HAPPENED.


Nothing Ever Happened
作詞:林嘉欣/ 作曲:林暐哲
編曲:李守信/金木義則/梁介洋/黃冠豪/石博元/ 製作:林暐哲

Hey, you once called me your baby
say it for the last time
with all your strength and meaning it this time

Hey, you once promised me the world
but I never asked for it
but I never asked for it

Hey, you once praised me beautiful
why I'd get get weaker
why would I get weaker

oh Please, please don't,
I am so scared, scared you're too perfect for me
or am I too naive for you

either way it's too late
too late for regrets, I'm hurrrrrrt
leave me out of love
leave love out, leave me out

hey, let's just pretend
nothing ever happened
nothing ever happened

hey, let's just pretend
nothing ever happened
nothing nothing never ever happened

回憶

街口,一輛白色轎車頂端恰好有個亮晃晃的警示燈,於是我在這微涼的秋日,憶起了乘載著白色紫logo轎車在夜色裡狂奔的點點滴滴:
那幾間不一定好吃,但是氣氛很到點的餐廳;
那幾個不成道理的慶祝藉口,幾次藉機大喝mojito、把臉熱到紅紅脹脹的閃亮夜晚;
那座可笑的、醜不拉嘰的電梯;
那些party, after-party party;
那間小小、不起眼、卻永遠滿滿滿的咖啡廳;
那陪伴我不斷murmur的、暫時的避風港;
那座永遠藍得不像話的大湖;
那些聽了就寒毛直豎、繞樑數日的樂章;
那種熱切的期待,那種莫名的執著,那種別人很難理解的釋放。

轉啊轉,白色轎車頂上的警示燈轉啊轉。
轉啊轉,腦海中回憶的氣味、溫度轉啊轉........

Felt Happy When

I heard some songs that linked me to our memories;

I met with friends to review all those silly childhood memories and those people we knew;

Pipi came "talking" to me at night: "why don't you go to bed, honey sis?"

the view I could see from the elevator hall resembled that from 73F;

people I just met were impressed by my quick response to things;

I picked a nutritious and tasty bread for breakfast;

I woke up after 10 Saturday morning and found- I had millions of reasons to stay in bed;

my coffee smell just wonderful and went perfect with my marshmallow;

mom said I looked gorgeous even when I dressed something only NT$100;

I mentioned you with others and felt proud of having someone like you as "my friend";

others replied my email with spectacular updates and incredible encouragements;

in my dream, we could dance together, with our favorite music. us.

Wendy E-News[From G to A, Life Advances]

Dear my lovely friends,

Finally, no more wonder around for Wendy! I found a spot for myself and settled to start working, full-time.

July 17, reluctantly, I quietly left the 73F office when my contract expired. In my farewell statement, I told my beloved coworkers: "I will stay as the top fan of G products and of all those extraordinary talents like you guys- who are creating history for our world. Please keep your great works rolling!"

September 14, my new journey began at HQ of A*** TPE as a PM for graphics card. "Empty Yourself!" was the first concept my boss taught me. Actually, I AM empty in this completely new field. My potential was recognized by my manager and my team through three rounds of intense interviews. My ignorance about the product and my overly-ideal point of view were also tolerated- and the team offered me the opportunity to start learning from scratch step by step, asking millions of stupid questions to get more idea. I have started working for one week, an overwhelming week. The way to learn ahead is endless. Endless.

I indeed got some mixed feelings when looking back to this tumbled path:
  • I was insulted by some interviewer in person
  • I was valued by ex-bosses and was informed about openings twice
  • I was referred by alum and senior friends to their contacts
  • For several times, I prepared proposals for those unfamiliar products and processes and tried to win over my audiences
  • Unbelievably, I won my strong competitor who's a real professional in the field
  • For many occasions, I consulted seniors with urgent issues via phone/email and made them worry about me
My landing at A*** was not only a great news for myself but also a relief to my family and friends, I guess.
Thank you all for the support and concern along the way!

Lastly, my life was not that packed with tour or fun these days; Not that many great photos or life records either.
Some materials to share include:
Hope you can get a chance to visit my photos.
Hope you like my ordinary life right now.

All the Best!

Love, Wendy

W報報之【從G到A,生命晉級啦~】

親愛的大家:

百轉千折,我終於停止飄盪,開始工作了。

萬分不捨的,我在7月17日靜靜的離開了73樓的雲端辦公室,跟同事們宣告「我雖然離開了這間辦公室,但是我會繼續以頭號瘋狂支持者的身分愛著公司的產品,愛著為這個世界創造一頁又一頁歷史的大家。你們一定要繼續加油喔!」

滿懷忐忑的,我在9月14日低調的踏入了在關渡的A企業總部,新的頭銜是產品經理,新的挑戰在群雄爭霸的顯示卡。「倒空!」是老闆教我的第一個重要概念。其實不用老闆提醒,在這個十分陌生的領域,我本來就是空的。主管和團隊裡的成員在三輪面試過程裡肯定我的潛力,包容我這個過度理想化的門外漢的瘋言瘋語,願意給我一個機會從頭開始一步一腳印的學,用盡渾身本事的問笨問題。上班一週,震撼教育一週,我的學習之旅,還好長好長。

回顧這一段跌跌撞撞的日子,真是百味雜陳。
  • 我曾參與面試被對方主管當面羞辱過
  • 我曾被前老闆提拔,主動告知工作機會
  • 我曾蒙學長姐、前輩推薦,穿針引線介紹職缺
  • 我曾幾度從零開始準備整套的提案簡報,把再不熟悉的產品、流程都嘗試搞熟,包裝得很有說服力的模樣
  • 我曾擠下想也想不到能擠下的競爭對手
  • 我曾幾度在電話中、郵件裡徵詢前輩的建議,害他們為我擔心為我著急
這個塵埃落定可能不只對我是個好消息,對關心我的家人及朋友們更是鬆了一口大氣的好消息吧!

距離上次寫信給大家也是好長一段時間了,這段日子我玩得比較沒有這麼瘋,也留下比較少的相片和生活記錄。簡單可以拿出來分享的就是:
希望你有空能去看看,也希望你還喜歡我絢爛後歸於平淡的生活。

祝 天天都好!

Wendy

Blogger 加密大法!轉錄自Kaie's Blog

原文出處: Kaie's Blog 有這個功能以後我終於可以暢所欲言啦~~
感謝Kaie's大大相救!
以下節錄我需要知道的重點:
  1. 在Template的前加上<script language='JavaScript' src='http://vincentcheung.googlepages.com/blogjscrypt.js'>  (Blogger限定。故意用全形是為了避免造成程式混淆,實際使用時應該全部用半形)
  2. 在新增新文章時進行兩步驟動作:

  • http://www.vincentcheung.ca/jsencryption/old.html輸入「Key」欄位以及「Plain Text」欄位=>Encrypt Button(加密鈕,在Plain Text欄的下方),此時便會在「Cipher Text」欄位產生加密過後的文字啦(底下會用到..)!!
    ※千萬要記得上方你自行定義的Key,之後解密時要用的,若忘記了,恐怕沒有量子電腦(Quantum Computer)這般等級的高速電腦是解不出來的。
  • 嵌入文字片段到文章中(只顯示連結法):<A href="javascript:Decrypt_text('unique_name', '此段內容為由上面所產生出來的一整段火星文(例如:wRxSwskrWsmohc1...之類的文字)');">Show encrypted text</a>

    <div id="
    unique_name"></div>※注意上方的unique_name型態是div tag的一個id名子,可以自行命名,只要在template中,或文章中不出現同樣的id即可,否則會造成判斷錯誤!!也就是在一個顯示頁面中,有用到兩個以上火星文片段的話,那麼此id的命名就必須是unique_name,unique_name1,unique_name2...之類的。

Since You Knew My Value

You should have kept me with you.

I am still super appreciated of your thinking of me when there's chance opening up, R.L. and L.H.
Can't describe how wonderful that is to be recognized and kept in mind by someone like you.
These, proved my value.
So come on, please remember, keep those precious with you all the time, ok?

Life Is An Experiment

on what route one should take to get to the office;
on how much new information one can take and digest one day;
on how many hours one can sit in a meeting without losing focus and follow every piece of information;
on how many times one can successfully switch between English & Mandarin, new & old systems;
on how fast one can remember and match correctly many different names, faces and related info;
on what set one should plan to have for lunch and dinner to gain sufficient nutrition cost-efficiently;
on how one can convince him/herself to change all those long-time patterns and habits;
on how many times one can reset, reset, and reset to start from scratch.

Anyone gets the confidence to run this experiment, and makes it a Nobel Prize winning one?

Twitter-like "@Replies" on Facebook. More Tagging Potential, Deeper Engagement?


Some viewed this as a idea stealing, and I bet some would view this as another kind of privacy invasion again. How do you think? (You still get the right to untag yourself from others' status update, you know?)

幼稚園童音版「朋友,我永遠祝福你」

這是我在興德幼稚園太陽班「上班」的最後一天。

剛剛到教室,就有小帥哥過來說「姊姊你今天穿得好~漂~亮~喔~」整個讓我心花怒放。

滿美今天也不知怎麼的,從剛看到我開始就非常多話,抓著我一直講一直講,偷偷的告訴我她最近到底在害怕什麼,要我幫她保守秘密(雖然我後來還是轉告老師了,因為這是滿美媽媽近日反映她讓人擔心的狀況)

還有,滿美今天變很黏,要拉著我陪她玩、陪她念書、坐她旁邊、聽她講話。甚至偷偷的靠在我耳邊告訴我:「跟妳說喔~以後妳可以來我家玩!」這樣的宣言在日本小朋友的認知裡可是件了不得的大事呢!

出去快樂城堡玩的時候,老師帶著小太陽們排排站跟我拍了大合照,也就簡單告訴小朋友拍照的原因:「姊姊下禮拜要去上班,就沒有辦法來陪小朋友囉~」語畢、合照結束,好幾張小臉就湊過來:「為什麼?是因為你會很忙嗎?」「我把拔也會上班,可是他晚上都會回來喔~」等等等等等。

中午快要下課前,老師彈鋼琴,叫小朋友們圍著我唱歌。「等等唱『姊姊,我永遠祝福你』給姊姊聽喔~然後想要抱抱姐姐的可以輪流過去。」然後我坐在幼稚園小椅子上聽著軟軟童音唱的、或者大呼小叫吼著的祝福歌,然後我被小鬼頭們團團包圍差點沒跟整團人一起摔倒,然後我看到幾個小朋友紅紅的眼眶在打轉的眼淚,然後我用力的告訴自己不要哭,只要開心的、輕輕的去拍拍幾個小鬼頭,哄哄他們就好。

像我一直做著的一樣。
沒甚麼大不了的。

Tricia的媽媽來的時候用手機幫我跟小小的她拍了合照。跟滿美揮手告別的時候心頭緊緊的。

好不容易重新踱入教室陪全天班的小朋友吃最後一次幼稚園午餐,剛剛挑了個位置坐下來,旁邊的小男生就發難:「你為什麼要坐這裡?你想念我齁?」
好害羞~我好像還是故意跟他盧了一下才承認「對啦對啦~我想念你。」
旁邊的其他小朋友於是不甘示弱的紛紛告白:「我也超喜歡你的!」「我是你的粉絲!」「我更喜歡你!比起校長我更喜歡你!」「我會很想你!」「你會不會放假?你放假再來嘛~」

我會記得妳們,親愛的小太陽們。謝謝你們甜膩膩的祝福,希望有機會再見喔 :)

Google Maps Street View Privacy Intro Video in Japan


I LOVE THIS CUTE IDEA!!!!

Basically it shows you the way Google take photos, and it shows Google's concern about people's privacy. It'll erase/blur the image of the plates on the car and at your door. When there's any miss, you can file a complain via phone or letters. Google will correct those reported parts for you. The message this clip sent is easy to understand. The way it expresses the idea is universally understandable. And it's SUPER CUTE!

Love it. Love it. Love it!

我的新男友......們!!

我被追求了.......
一次好多個.......
他和他和他會爭先恐後的抱住我 (羞)
我晚了一點點到他和他和他和他都會焦急,會不斷詢問
他要留我下來吃飯
他要我當他的女伴
不在身邊的時候,他會一直東張西望尋覓我在哪裡
要離開之前他會熱切的說:「明天見喔!明天見喔!」

唉呦,好困擾喔,這下我要怎麼辦才好~
而且男主角最小的四歲,最大的也不過才六歲,我該怎麼辦哩? (哈哈哈哈~)

好啦,坦白從寬,他們是一群我在興德國小幼稚園邂逅的小帥哥們。我因為媽媽的告知,熱心的前往幼稚園當志工特別照顧班上的日本小女生滿美,美國小女生Tricia,所以天天早起跑到幼稚園報到,陪他們吃點心、玩遊戲、跑跑跳跳、唱歌跳舞、畫畫、看故事書、吃午餐,所以跟這近30個小鬼頭越來越黏。有圖有真相:請點這個連結去看太陽班的大小太陽們~

也簡介一下我跑去的最主要服務內容吧~照顧中文幾乎還完全不會講的Tricia,用英文向四歲的她解釋現在班上在做甚麼,同時努力教她一些簡單的字,教她透過肢體語言適應團體生活。還要適時的陪滿美講日文,雖然五歲的她中文已經越來越好,幾乎都可以直接跟老師溝通她要做甚麼、想什麼、要去哪哩,可是多一點點的日文溝通就會幫助她表達更清楚,老師也更多了解她的個性。

她們真的很可愛喔~還記得第一次問Tricia「你從哪裡來?」時她怯生生的用童音回答"Taiwan~"因為她的確是在台灣出生,對這塊土地-家-的認同比她父母來自的美國賓州強烈。團體學習時教她一些中文的資訊,則讓她很困惑的直問"Why is everything in Chinese?"然後我就要很有耐心的告訴她"Because that's the official language here in Taiwan."

滿美跟我剛剛認識她時一樣熱愛繪畫。上次又讓他們在課堂上「畫自己」時她對於一個人的形體、裝飾已經掌握得非常好了,也很仔細的把大片大片面積的服飾、皮膚塗上滿滿的顏色。我看到她把臉塗成綠色的時候還用日文問了她一下「你是外國人嗎?為什麼你的臉是綠色的?」引來滿美一陣大笑反駁「我是日本人啦~不是外國人。我故意要畫成綠色的啦~就是喜歡畫成綠色啦~」當然,這個小插曲我也隨後拿去跟幼稚園老師分享。「滿美很知道自己是日本人喔!」

也在陪他們的過程中,我找到了很多很純真的感動。這麼小的小朋友真的很直接、很真、不做作。他們不會怕玩遊戲的時候小褲褲被別人看到;他們不那麼在乎男生和女生要分很開這件事,因為大家都是好朋友,玩遊戲的時候男生女生可以抱在一起、額頭對額頭、耳朵對耳朵、手牽手;年紀最小的、四歲的小朋友在第一個禮拜沒事就會忽然一把鼻涕一把眼淚要找爸爸找媽媽找爺爺,第二個禮拜就進步到老師只要給他一個溫暖的滿懷大抱抱、鼻涕擦乾,回頭他又瘋到不知到哪個角落去了;年紀大一點點的大太陽(六歲小朋友)經過提醒就很會照顧小太陽,之前經歷過老師照顧滿美歷程的小朋友,更是貼心的會想盡辦法用同樣的方式來照顧新來的、也是不會講中文的Tricia:玩遊戲的時候拉著她、吃點心的時候跟她分享、離開教室去逛校園的時候緊緊的牽著她的手、看她表情不對就跑過來緊張兮兮的跟我報告「Tricia不知道怎麼了?她累了嗎?她不舒服嗎?」

慘了,這下我捨不得離開這群小鬼頭了~去阿速斯上班後我就沒辦法黏著我的小男友和小女友們了耶,這下慘兮兮了~

「老師,那個漂亮姐姐怎麼沒有來?」好不忍心讓小朋友問這個問題,卻得到「她不會再來了」的答案喔 :(

聽奧,和101的煙火

我家的校長媽媽有票可以跑去現場看聽奧開幕,我乖乖待在家裡把電視、音響轉開陪貓咪看聽奧。

我喜歡賴聲川處理的場面,有大氣呈現的影音視覺效果,透過燈光,透過很到點的音樂,透過大片的布幔、清楚的圖形、艷麗對比恰到好處的色彩,透過雄壯的鼓聲、激昂的歌聲、高低層次分明的各種材質的物件。優人神鼓的開場把五個元素:地、水、火、風、空敲得震撼、擊得非常動感。神秘池塘出現的夏夜蓮花、翩翩舞動的蝴蝶、蜻蜓等生物讓田徑場看起來瞬間充滿水汪汪的涼意。林嘉綺扮演的女神用美翻天的方式飛入,坐在大牛上的小牧童在綠油油人海田裡與女神的互動,嘉綺用手語比出的「你就是力量」好優雅好動人。阿妹的歌聲和從天而降的展翅風姿也很有話題性,雖然我還是想念她早期剛出道時亮到不能再亮的原民嗓音。Q版的好神公仔晃幽幽的入場,讓場面既熱鬧、繽紛又不失趣味,不落俗氣。我個人最愛最愛的,則是「台北好好吃」這個橋段:到處跑動的香菇、豬血糕、麵條、米飯、魯肉、小籠包、青江菜、芒果整個太太太可愛了!ㄉㄨㄢ ㄉㄨㄢ ㄉㄨㄢ彈到碗裡去再爬爬爬把菜色擺好的巧思也真是太匠心獨具。我的媽咪啊~台北真的好好吃!有魯肉飯、有牛肉麵、有小籠包、有火鍋、還有經典甜品芒果冰!!!!!(感謝媽媽貢獻現場拍攝的火鍋照片一張~)
賴導演說故事的能力也展現在安慶隆小時候、年輕時、和現在的本人出現這個美妙的安排上,讓林嘉綺和總統夫人周美青兩度用手語對小朋友比出「這是一塊美麗的土地,用心什麼都能成,你就是力量」字串的安排也讓場面的溫馨指數滿滿上升。胡德夫雄厚的嗓音詮釋的"Power in Me"和他歌唱時的那種氣度讓我真覺得這塊土地也有帕華洛帝級的演唱家。李連杰和四名救難英雄上前為台灣祈福、為台灣加油的舉動讓大家熱血澎湃,希望源源湧現。

總的來說,我真的很喜歡聽奧開幕式的整體感、細膩感,也喜歡她展現的,屬於台灣的多元豐富面向:可以激昂,可以柔美,可以熱鬧,可以可愛,可以澎湃,可以感動。

而且這個聽奧夜,我在前往Patricia's farewell party前幸運的跑到了台北101在樓裡參與到了爆煙火的瞬間,和觀賞到在遠處三個點所施放的璀璨煙火。各位同學們,爆煙火當時正在101 59樓的我跟各位證實:大樓是會抖動的!!!!每一次的爆發站在窗邊的我都可以感受到強烈的「震撼」,我跟來不及跑上73樓的Emilie兩人嘰嘰喳喳鬼叫,後悔手邊沒有相機可以拍攝煙火的模樣。

不過我真的很滿足了,因為我怎麼也沒有想到我居然能在那裡--在101大樓裡--親身感受到3000枚煙火火藥爆發的威力;當然我也從來沒有想過自己能在那裏居高臨下的遠眺國父紀念館、台北小巨蛋、松山菸廠三處的煙火。

百感交集。

Ups and Downs, and Life Goes On


You kept me in mind and appreciated my talent, so you informed me of an opportunity.
You valued me and knew my passion, so you tried to tell me the truth.
You understood me and wouldn't want to leave me wtih regrets, so you asked, you showed respect, and you waited.
You highly valued me and knew me well, so you knew you should not give me a sky which might limit my height.

Ups, and downs.
I've not felt so sad for a while. 你對我最後的疼愛,是手放開。
I felt it. All of it.

"This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top"

Now I am even braver, to move on.
Thanks to your love.....

"Elephant"
~by Damien Rice

This has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
Someone else on top

You can keep me pinned
It's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she

And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me Crazy
'Cause I am lately lonely

So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch

And when you think you've sinned
Do you fall upon your knees?
And do you sit within your picture?
Do you still forget the breeze?

And she may rise, if I sing you down
And she may wisely cling to the ground
Cause I'm lately horny
So why would she take me horny?

What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie
'Cause this has got to die

This has got to stop
This has got to lie down, down
With someone else on top

You can both keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't make me happy
Quite as good as me

Well you know that's a lie

Keep In Mind

"我知道你注重很多無形的東西...不過偶爾替自己想一想吧~"

這樣動人的言論,我要牢牢的記下來。這是被了解、被在乎的感動啊~~~
