【轉貼】孫越-夫妻是一輩子的事

孫叔叔的建言誠懇而實際，我衷心希望自己有一天能夠找到那個伴我走人生長路的人，一起牢牢記著孫叔叔的期許與勉勵：夫妻，是一輩子的事：）

－－
給所有已婚、未婚的年輕人

撰文：孫越

提筆寫這封信，已經離你們的新婚喜宴五、六個小時之後了。
你們知道嗎？我常常有機會為新人證婚，也常常在婚禮中獻上我的叮嚀與祝福。
雖說語重心長，但是現場的喜鬧及吵雜的音響，卻也將我殷切的交代沖淡了不少。
我最最要向你們小夫妻說的一句至要的話，就是：「夫妻是一輩子的事」。

記得在那遙遠悠久的過去，當時在這寶島上的年輕人都在唱著：
「我的家在大海的那一邊，高梁高，流水長，一年的四季不一樣。」
在軍中的劇隊，我認識了現在的孫媽媽──一個十八歲的小姑娘。
在排練演出而巡迴勞軍的日子裡，我們戀愛了。
一年兩年直到六年多之後，在軍中伙伴的祝福下，我們終於訂下了婚期。

一九五八年正逢八七水災，政府規定，若有喜慶宴客一切從簡，不得超過四桌，否則，主管記過。
三個臭皮匠變成諸葛亮，同事們突發奇想，將所有的桌子併成一個Ｕ字型的長桌，非但不違反規定，而且還可使一百多位好友人人盡歡。於是結婚當晚，大家都飽足而歸。

有人說：「婚姻是戀愛的墳墓」，可是我卻從不覺得婚後我們不再戀愛了。

看看時下，媒體常常報導：
某人與某人因意見不合而離異，某人與某人又因個性太像而從此分手。
我和孫媽媽在個性上雖是南轅北轍，但並未因此影響了我們婚姻生活中的相愛相依。
貧困時如此，小康亦復這般。

近年來，我常在演講時向那些已婚多年的聽眾問一個問題：您們當中仍在與另一半戀愛的，請舉手。
多年中，只有一次在馬來西亞的吉隆坡，有一位七十多歲的老先生高興的立即將手舉得高的，並且用另一隻手指著他旁邊的那位老太太。
當時我看見這位老婦人從臉上綻放出的笑容，直到今天，仍然印象深刻。

孩子的出生，為我夫婦帶來更多的歡笑。當然，也開始為這小生命編織著他的未來。
看著兩個孩子安穩的一年一年的成長，我們夫婦也在不知不覺中進入了中年。

我和孫媽媽自婚後就自然的養成了一種睡前在床上聊天的習慣，在眾多的話中，我們津津樂道的還是我們的初戀時節。連我們兒女也是百聽不厭。

一個有愛的婚姻真好，不祇在你們少年夫妻的時候要有愛。步入婚姻以後，我們更需要每日更新，以創新的愛滋潤培養我們愛的關係。

在「美好人生的摯愛與告別」這本書中寫著：
「愛情生活中最珍貴的不是性關係，而是雙方在每一個方面的相互體貼與心心相印」。
在那段相去不遠的中年生活中，我就發現彼此的那份相知相愛，著實讓我工作、交往以及對人生的規畫上，她成了我生命中不可或缺的支柱。

孩子們：我真願意在你們夫婦新婚之初，向你們贅述我和孫媽媽的戀愛史，我要提醒的仍是那句老話：「夫妻是一輩子的事」。

聖經上說：「既然如此，夫妻不再是兩個人，乃是一體了。 所以上帝配合的人不可分開。」

在過去孫叔叔還未信耶穌的時候，我也曾在婚姻上出過岔錯。
還好，在我腦海中時時都會想到那天，那天的午后，我和孫媽媽(當時的女朋友）在一幢咖啡屋的二樓，我們雙方都感到可以談論婚嫁了，就在那時，我萌生了一個念頭，就是
「如果我要結婚，就永不離婚！」。

過去的我，身體不好，常常在病中，是她，讓我感受到一位女性的堅強與耐力。
對孩子的教導上，我們是身教重於言教。在角色的扮演上，她是嚴母，我是慈父，因此，孩子有什麼問題，第一個知道的是我，在我們決定如何處理這個問題的時候，我卻又見到她心思的周密與通情。

當我在六十五歲做了最後一次的捐血，我知道我們都進入老年了。
我常想，生命如同時序的四季，春夏秋冬可以各展其美。而人之所以為人，應當更有所望。

有天夜裡，我們夫妻仍是在床上聊天，我說：「我們夫妻如此相愛，令許多朋友羨慕。但是，總有一天，會有一個先走吧！」
孫媽媽毫不遲疑的就接著說：「要走我先走。」她的語氣肯定。
我問她為什麼？她接著就說：
「你比我堅強，要是我先走了，你會將後事處理得很好，你可以依然與兒女們保持很好的關係，你仍舊可以和老朋友交往，你更可以安心的推動你的社會公益。」
我趕緊接著說：「誰先誰後，不是妳決定的，那是上帝事。如果要是有一天我先走了呢？」
只見孫媽媽低下頭來哀傷的說著：「孫越，要是你先走了，我會每天哭，我要以淚洗面。要是你先走了，我會每天不吃飯，因為我食不下嚥。要是你先走了，我會每天不出門，我要足不出戶。要是你先走了，我會.....」
我趕快搶著說：「算啦！還是妳先走吧！」
你們不要笑，這是孫媽媽發出的訊號，說明她比我脆弱。
我須在我有生之年不斷的讓她清楚，夫妻是一輩子的事。

如今，我們仍快樂的過著充實的老年生活。
我們有規律正常的作息，我們與親友們有著定時的交往，與兒女們更因著共同的信仰，讓我們凡事謝恩、凡事禱告。

真對不起，在你倆的新婚之際，我冗長的敘說著我和孫媽媽的故事。
請允許我再說一次：夫妻是一輩子的事。
你們因愛而結合，愛就是一種責任。

你們的老朋友－－孫越叔叔贈言。

So Much to Do, So Overload

So quiet here....

One of my elder schoolmate said so, and I promptly felt it also represented my case.

Emotions Overload, Ceased Upload

Warmest Place in the World

"Yap, it's 200% the warmest place in the world. I guarantee you."

Dear Pipi, you might be right. But how could Daddy do his job when you're on his laptop keyboard?

SILLY UPS!!!!!

I got a GradSchool application material that should have arrived at the University of Southern California on Jan. 11th, far before the deadline 15th, but the SILLY UPS got it kind of..... disappeared!!! How sarcastic it was when the last time the package was traceable on the following list showed: OUT FOR DELIVERY in LA on the 11th!!!

At least one thing eased my anxious: Thank God! USC Graduate Admission Office told me that if my shipped date was before the deadline, my rights to be considered for admission wouldn't be waived......

God, please! Let the package show up!!!!!!!!!
>>The package, still, should arrived at the office before 24th for the official review.<<

Life Notes

1.申請非常人所能為
邊工作邊申請，還能不熬夜，或者能夠忍受天天熬到4點上午9點仍然準時進辦公室開始馬不停蹄， 非人哉

2.時間掌控能力實在太弱
X的，瞬間發現四所申請資料兩週內同時爆炸!!!!!!!!
X的我在做什麼時間規劃!!!!!

3.再玩嘛........

繼續為了申請爆肝

爆爆爆爆爆爆~~
爆到天荒地老~~

來分享點皮皮的趣事吧!

其實要分享絕對分享不完的~因為他真是隻超有趣的貓!!

1.皮皮,姐姐的眼鏡在哪裡篇
現在坐在電腦前打字的我其實看著螢幕有種強烈的矇矓感，因為我的眼鏡消失了...
去哪了呢?這個問題只有皮皮才能回答。
我前天晚上入睡前把眼鏡放在桌上、關燈、睡=
=>隔天早上醒來的時候手機從桌上被搬(摔?)到了地上，還有許多其他的東西命運同!
什麼我都沒關係，可是....ㄟㄟㄟ我的眼鏡ㄌㄟ拉~~~~
姊姊沒有眼鏡可是看不清楚的耶~~~~

前一天熬夜的結果就是當下連隱形眼鏡都完全戴不上去，只好冒險就這麼出門
晚一點再在公司把隱形戴上.
於是這天出門特別遵守交通規則都慢慢騎......XD

2.皮皮，貓咪也愛斷背山??
今天早上鬧鐘響起，我兀自進行每天早上都要進行的賴床戲碼，
皮皮很不識相的衝到了我房間爬上床，來到姐姐旁邊開始咬我的手....
ㄟ!會痛ㄟ!!於是我只好快速坐起來跟貓奮戰，駭又....

出了房門不久我就大聲跟媽媽抱怨，沒想到傳來了晴天霹靂的消息:
"真的喔?他咬你喔?你都沒看到他今天早上親爸爸親多~~~久"
我媽繼續說:"把他拉開他還跑回去繼續親爸爸喔~還親嘴嘴喔~"

皮皮......你愛爸爸不愛姊姊，這樣對嗎?
我們又不是在斷背山撿到你的，你這樣對嗎 XD

待續.....@.@

First Call in the Morning

in the office is JAPANESE!!!!

OU~~~~ too exciting.....

hey, I still can manage the language! Feels great!

Xmas Gift from...?

"Please sign for this parcel" the doorman told me.
It's no news for me to sign for international parcels, but this one looks quite unfamiliar. It is from?

Where is it from? Is it edible? -Pipi

Brasilia, B R A Z I L!!!!!

Oh my goodness, this little parcel traveled around the globe from Brazil to here, and arrived on exactly Xmas day. What a gift Pedro!

Normal people will soon start do the next step- to wonder what's inside there? Diamond? Gold? Ring? Flight ticket? (hey hey.....Pedro, I still remember your dream^^)

Oh come on...... Can't people have day dreams sometime?

I still can't wait to open it, with a curious mom aside :P
Firstly I found a postcard with another wrapped present, and I quickly started to see what Pedro wrote on the postcard.

Good Job Pedro~it's mostly in Chinese ^^b
He thanked me to send him the "pearls" to let him make pearl milk teas for himself in Brazil. It just reminded him our night market, temples, and so on so on. Additionally, he introduced me the gifts he sent-
The bird on the postcard is called "TUCANO." It is from a famous big wetland Pantanal in Mato Grosso du Sul- Pedro's hometown. Another gifts are a pencil and a pen holder with Jacare on it. Hmmm, they're truly very special to me! Thanks! Pedro~

I took it serious when you said you'd introduce more about your country, like what I did for you about mine. Deal~Pedro! and I guess.... you should work harder~

Thanks for the joy you brought me by giving me all these. Merry Christmas!

被緊迫盯人一整天後

我都胃痛了.......不誇張........

是怎樣?我需要搖鐵窗然後大叫"放我出去"嗎?

來人啊~幫我跟他解釋一下新版的牢籠是怎樣定義的>"<

Ill

after too many days of tiring schedule, my body could no longer hold on....

Terribly ill, stayed in bed for whole day long, sleeping.

Yes, I felt a little bit better, but I guess I'll still be quite weak tomorrow when go back to the office... >"<

"It's LIFE. And it's what the adult do!" Mom said.

Day Trip in Taichung

I went for an e-Scouting Training Course on 18th, and stayed in my cousin's for a night. Cynthia couldn't make it to take me around on 19th, but she arranged her boyfriend A-Chung and her brother SuWei to take me around.

Geez~ I love the Luce Chapel~

About the City, although it was just another part of Taiwan, I'll frankly admit that it felt more than alien to me. Upon the time I arrived, 9 o'clock in the morning on the 18th, I felt
more alert and confused than ever- that didn't happen when I visit ANY towns/cities in Swiss or Germany.... The atmosphere chocked me, and my headache reminded me of my isolation again, and again.... The uneasiness lasted until I
finally finished my job, muddled through the dinner with lots of alcohol and "friendly faces," and escaped to my cousin's.

That's the time I feel a little bit "homely."

Yet, things became not that bad when I went out bathed under great sunshine and wonderful weather the next morning :) Exactly, I woke up late- 9:30 and was accompanied to visit Tunghai University- a famous university with amazingly beautiful campus. A-Chung drove we three there, and SuWei was responsible for introducing the place. They both were great company, because they were patient to wait, to take photos for me, to give advices, to enjoy solely the time ticking away.....

A-Chung and SuWei on the tree- SuWei could never stop making faces..>"<

Through A-Chung's interaction with SuWei and me, I felt happy and grateful for Cynthia. I could tell that he was a good guy that able to take good care of her. He's simple-minded and helpful, he's true and generous. Their relationship might not be "something" special, but definitely not "nothing." Best Wishes!



As for the university, I love its Luce Chapel and the meadow around. They were especially perfect when it was so shining and bright. Some school kids were taking pictures-should be graduation group photos- in front of it when we just arrived. I cannot help imagine if some friends and I came over take photos as well, or, if I were some couples who came for a walk, either at dawn or at dusk. Should be a memorable scene I guess :)


I also told A-Chung and SuWei that I was so envious of the students there. All architectures in the university were in style and was been carefully designed- Designed to be a fantastic place for LOVERs. I thought very few students could ever resist its magic ^^

The Avenue in front of the main library.
Don't you think it resemble the one in the JP drama "HERO"?

We later went feed ourselves and had another meadow visit around a Museum. In short- enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with nothing but peace. I loved this short recharge, and I especially bent on its "doing nothing but fooling around."

Thanks, Cynthia, for arranging all these for me! Thanks, A-Chung and SuWei!
Thanks, God. You made me find the peace that only, solely with you that I can find.

A-Chung, Cynthia's Happiness Rely on You?

Throughout a day of getting together, I will now say-
You are qualified :)

Treat her well! She deserves that!

Finally Familiar- Counsin's Home Taichung

I came for the blog construction training course today, and the city was so alient to me. Truely alient.. I finally found it familiar when got in Cynthia's car- she is my cousin.

At her home now! and just came back from our extra dinner :P
Geez....I'll gain weight due to that~

Whatever, I felt more comfortable now :)

Family is always the best!

so-fa-mi-re do* mi* do~

is the common sound of our washing machine.

but it turned to be "la-so-fa-mi re* la* re~" tonight...............
haha! broken! >"<

婚戒為何是戴在無名指??

媽媽轉給我的文章，很有趣，也很發人深省哪 :)

婚戒為何是戴在無名指？這是個奇妙的生理現象。

1. 首先大家伸出兩手，將中指向下彎曲對靠在一起，就是中指背跟背靠在一起。
2. 將其它 4個手指分別指尖對碰。
3. 在開始游戲之前，請確保以下過程中5個手指只允許一對手指分開。

開始遊戲

1. 請張開你們那對大拇指。大拇指代表我們的父母，能夠張開，每個人都會有生老病死，父母也會有一天離我們而去。
2. 請大家合上大拇指，再張開食指。食指代表兄弟姐妹，他們也都會有自己的家世，也會離開我們。
3. 請大家合上食指，再張開小拇指。小拇指代表子女，子女長大後遲早有一天會有自己的家庭生活，也會離開我們。
4. 請大家合上小拇指，再試著張開無名指。這個時候，大家會驚奇的發現無名指怎麼也張不開！因為無名指代表夫妻，是一輩子不分離的。真正的愛黏在一起後，是永生永世都分不開的。

很甜美的解釋吧　：）

The Best Climber Ever

My little Pipi.
He climbed up the screen window like an expert. I guess his claw helped a lot for him to stick on the net!

Oh, and my Mom's seducement seemed to work, too!

Colorful Life

When people view a certain thing through different angles or different lenses, it might be interpreted in a completely different way- which made our life so colorful and inspirational....

Just a thought from recent experiences.....

Photos were taken in Reinfall in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, 10/10/06.
I didn't use extra lenses for these photos, but took advantage of the stained glass window of a tower above the Reinfall.
Thanks to Andrea, she served as a personal tour guide for me and waited for me for these "silly photos." :)

UT Online Submission DONE!

HEW~~~~~~~~~~~

Give me the recommendation letter and financial support note!
And then I'll be complete on this one~

Joey, the Superman

had helped me a lot on improving my SOP and resume.
He's also the one who showed me, strongly, that our used humble is no good in application.

BE CONFIDENT!
SHOW THEM YOUR POWER AND CAPABILITY!
TELL THEM HOW GOOD YOU ARE, AND YOU ARE GOOD IN NATURE!

I deeply wish that I won't let people down again this time.....

Thanks, Joey- for your big hand.

Swiss Surprise!!!!!

"What's this huge package?" Dad asked.
It's a box with the receiver "Kuan-Ting Chen"- my brother on the cover, from Flughafen Zürich (Zurich Airport). Since my brother won't come back till Saturday, my family decided to open it.

"What's inside?" wondered Pipi.


"Dear Mr. Chen,

We are very happy to inform you that you are one of the lucky winners of the 'Soul of Chocolate' contest sponsored by Zurich Airport. Your participation was well worth it. We are pleased to present you with one of fifty surprise packages from Lindt with our best wishes.

We hope you enjoy it!"

"Lindt? Is it THAT Lindt?" Out of strong curiosity I opened the box and found that there were actually two huge boxes inside- heavy. And...... CHIAN CHIAN!!!!!! TWO HUGE BOXES OF LINDT CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

Oh yes! These chocolate are actually mine. This October when I went back to KISC, Switzerland for the Autumn 2005 reunion, on the date of my sad departure, I spent some time wandering inside the Zurich Airport attending the promotion program called "Soul of Chocolate," which invited passengers to know the history of Swiss chocolate, to appreciate some crafts made of Swiss chocolate, and to vote for the most work that represented "Soul of Chocolate." With lots of time waiting for the flight, and also thanks to my deeply refusal to leave Swiss, I went hunt for every single work and vote for several times- including all my family members (they were not there though:P)

And my brother's name was chosen ^^b

ohohohohohohohoh~~~~~

Merry Christmas! Wendy~
Merry Christmas! Swiss!!!!

Let's see the works I saw then :P

Soul of Chocolate

P Friends

Just suddenly found out that lots of my friends' name start with a "P." You can just go and check my Post Love from the World blog, and you'll see!

Interesting........
And, they're from the world :D

政大，起霧了

回家的路上，我比較忘不了的還是韓聚裡裊裊的霧氣、香氣、和人氣。

謝謝你們，寶貝好朋友們。
你們每一個的擁抱都很紮實、很入骨。
正是我最需要的 :)

有時候會傻傻的想：如果我晚一點點生，能跟你們一起紮紮實實的經歷過一切多好？
一起開那麼那麼多的會、走訪那麼那麼多的國家、吃遍那麼那麼多的美味料理...
還好，我還能擁有被你們邀約的機會、成為桌友的權力
我其實，還算是幸運的 :)

謝謝你們

Busy Schedule

Dear Daily Wendy,

I'm so sorry to neglect you for so long a time, but I just cannot come here as often as some time earlier...

Nov. 3rd, I just finished my TOEFL(Test Of English as a Foreign Language) test, which was a mess...... I've finally found some time to prepare (poorly) for it, with the warmest help from Philip, Jason, and the greatest tolerance from my family. Honestly I would say, I've screwed up completely of the Reading Section, but things might not be that bad in the Listening, Speaking, and Writing parts. Let's wait for the result anyways! Should be available online on 18th.

As usual, the Tax Education events and activities went on and on and on, and seemed nonstop. Due to someone else's carelessness, I had to, in a very short time, start two other kinds of competition- Slogan and Calligraphy- both took efforts, time, and money to manage.
Furthermore, workshops around the island and speeches in the campus took place until the end of November, and might extend even later.
Not to mention the follow-up operations of Comic Contest, should send every single works to be backed for exhibition; should announce the namelist of the winner; should squeeze time for public announcement and ceremony, etc.

Strangely, I have to cover others' work when needed. For instance, setting meeting rooms, producing name badges and banner for their Japan tour, receiving overseas guests, assisting the preparations of Rover Woodbadge Training Course from 10-16 of November.

Oh, BTW, as a member of Firewood Open Scout Group- the Explore Scout Unit, I have to attend all gatherings and to draft the project of Campfire in the end of the year. Lots of communications had to be done, and lots of requirements had to be met and be taken care of.

Busy me. Agree?

PIPI Show

Look! Someone's there!

Are you Staring at me??

Hahahahaha~~~~
I guess my family recently got nothing much, but PiPi.

Had Fun with Pipi

'
The cutie Pipi almost caused family fights sometimes, because we're fighting for "who should take Pipi to bed?" "Who can keep him during the day?" "Who can take him around in his/her room?" etc.

Oh......He's just tooooo cute......

Love you, Pipi :)
All of us do.

A MESS

in the office.....which happened to make me overwork for someone else's business (and maybe..fault?)

Shitty world..........

Poor Poor Poor English

znxious about my TOEFL.
I should be anxious about it....

Many grammar mistakes, lots of misused vocabularies, wierd structure everywhere in my essay, etc.

Ya~~~~ great =.=

Andrea's

20:32, I arrived at Schaffhausen. To see Andrea from distant was great to me- I would soon get a place to rest myself! After telling her my magic stories in St. Gallen and the things happened after her return home, we again felt like we've never left apart.....

We took a bus to Siblingen and later took a walk back to her home. It was all stars shining on our way back above us, and the quiet countryside views- SOOO serene, peaceful, and full of joy ^^

Just like normal sisters, we talked a little bit and went to bed, saying goodnight. We're just...used to it :)

MAN! St. Gallen

I'm incredibly LUCKY! I've met one Swiss guy named Kevin who came forward to help me when I was lost, and in the end, he not only guide me the direction but also took me around, introducing me a great scenic spot where only the local people would know, as well as keeping me company to visit churches, shops, special architaectures, etc. He even bought me my dinner and drink!

A M A Z I N G !

But you may be curious about the "why?" Was he up to something??
NO~ not at all. He firstly thought that I was an ABC (telling from my backpack and my strong American accent?) but soon proved himself wrong when seeing my checking the traditional-Chinese-character guide book. Upon seeing the book, he bursted out and talked to me in Mandarin....(oh, a good surprise huh?) What was more surprising was as follows:

1. He was born in Taipei, Taiwan
2. He came to National Taiwan Normal University for 6 months language courses in total last few summers.
3. He missed the "home" there, and of course the lovely people(like me? hahahaha~)
Kevin was just friendly and willing to help the "strangers/visitors." According to what he told me: "I thought people so cruel on you because they just passed you by without asking as confused as you were, if you need some help. That was not the correct way to treat our guests!"

Jeez, it was so funny to talk to a local Swiss in Chinese!

INCREDIBLE!

I nearly couldn't believe that I'd ever bomp into things like this. It was tremendously LUCKY. Great place, St. Gallen!

又是趕火車....

又是趕火車!!!!

匆匆的給了Chris個擁抱，
Miss掉了Julia和Teddi的。

哭......在火車上。

怎麼可以離去的如此不堪？

我想"家".......

Vie Ferrata!!

"I've never thought that I'd come back and climb it again!" I told Julia and Teddi, it was very true. Frankly, before we officially started, I hesitated and quickly asked myself: "You're sure you can make it and won't cuase any trouble?" On the way up, I kept telling myself: "I can make it! I'm here already! I can make it once, so you can do it again!" Did it become harder? I had no clue, but it seemed that I became weaker physically yet stronger in mind.

Again, we failed a group picture because Chris' camera fell down to the ground(it was true!). Nevertheless, we FOUR made it: Chris(UK), Julia(DE), Teddi(IS), Wendy(TW). Just the perfect group! :)

HK / TW

大家都睡了後，我跑回Centre跟香港來的Benny聊天，因為聽他稍微提了一下感想，似乎過得不如預期，有點悶，還好略談後發現不盡然那麼的差，只是顯然"英文"又成了barrier :P

Oh well, THANK GOD! Seems like I still keep "the" record!

Yesterday Once More

We've got some really great talks at dinner time. About the Summer '06, about the great punishment, about Julia's flat, about some old time stories, etc. Anyways, great topics and funny outcomes! It's just like.....

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE

Empty

一陣忙亂緊急中，Andrea跳出Julia的車衝進火車站。快速得連個擁抱都來不及有...

她走了，車子變空變寬敞了

心，也 空 了 起 來 ......

Highrope Park Pilatus

Thanks to Andrea, we went to this interesting place for adventure ^^ But apparently it's too many hours drive to Luzern and to Mt. Pilatus. Time! Time! We always need time, some more!

These hightropes are quite great and challenging. Sometimes you'd really get so confused and even scared about how to move forward, but mostly when you tell yourself "it's not big deal, just another lifelong experience." then you'd use your gut to get going :) I was especially surprised and happy about Andrea's joining us, because she was actually afraid of height! I was so worried before that she might suggest we go but stay aside let others enjoying the routes. It's great that she had fun as well!

Yet, it was really a pity that the summer sledge broke before we went for a try.... It should be great fun! I've looked forward to it for quite some time... The one we had at Oeschinensee was great and I still remembered it quite much. Don't know when will I ever have a chance to come back and try, it was really great pity....

However, I'd definately remember that we've been there- together- bathing under shining warm sunshine, breathing fresh Alpine air, listening to traditional Swiss instrument playing, smelling the fragrance of our friendship.

Oh! And Never Forget!
We've got a photo on the Cable Car!

The only group photo this time.... >"<...I guess it was because we've enjoyed the time together too much and forgot easily that there was a thing called CAMERA :P Well, maybe the best thing we can do is to take more pics in mind!! I've definately done a lot already, and I'd NEVER forget a bit~

The Nicest Couple Ever

看見Julia和Teddi的恩愛，我超級羨慕。那樣的恩愛真的是真情流露，發自內心的想吻對方，發自內心的用很小、很小的動作告訴對方「是的，你被深深愛著....」即使只是一個求饒的眼神，一個輕輕的拍腿，一下下「看穿你也不嫌煩」的對看，

這才是我要的：
愛情，LOVE，LIEBE，あいじょう

早上起來，Teddi會用德文跟Julia來段小小的早安對話，那情景尤其羨煞人。
當一個男人為了妳，開始猛攻妳的語言，展現真真正正要妳，而且要妳的世界的誠意；
當他願意為妳走天涯、陪妳走天涯、護妳走天涯；
當他為妳漆牆選傢俱，耍賴性的怨妳幹麻不自己開車，卻默默的接過鑰匙發動了車，等妳跳進前座在他身旁安穩的入睡的時候......

Best Wishes, Julia and Teddi
Remember to invite me for your wedding! ^^

Swimming, SPA

In the end, limited by the weather, we decided to go ot a indoor swimming pool. That was great! Precisely I'd say it was a SPA than merely a swimming pool. We could go for slide (though cold), whirlpool, sauna pool, etc. And anyways, we all had fun together. ^^ I think that's always the best ting in the world.... Can you imagine that? An Icelandic, a Swiss, a British, a German, and a Taiwanese got together again! The probability should be quite small, but we made it!

We fought for food at lunch, and decided to have a piece of pizza for dinner. We laughed for no reason, or sometimes for the battle between Men and Women, Devil Woman and the Nicest Person Ever.

HA!

Anyways, WE ALWAYS ENJOY OURSELVES ^o^

KISC!!!!!!

下車了，因為我的疏忽，早了整整一個小時離開Luzern前往KISC。不過沒關係，這樣我就有機會多看「家」幾眼:)

一通電話回Centre後，16:06，Chris開著Van出現在車站....奔向他，緊緊的大擁抱過後－－
是低！我‧到‧家‧了！

還是很感動於他開車來火車站接我，那個深深的擁抱更不用多說：動人不已。是我最愛的幾個擁抱之一，因為更真、更實、更滿懷。

放好東西，我自己在Centre四周閒逛了起來。我們蓋的Shelter有張牌子記下了我們的名字：Thanks to Autumn 2005.....幾乎不可置信的是：是啊！我曾經蓋了棟房子！！

17:30，在Centre前焦急守候的我遠遠見到了Andrea, Julia, 和冰島大男孩Teddi！狂奔從樓上衝往樓下，奔進每個人懷裡，奔進我日夜掛念的、朝思暮想的好朋友們懷裡。天！那真是個shining moment! IT WAS!

＊WE FINALLY MEET AGAIN!＊

開 心的用完晚餐，我們前進 Ski Bar。入店坐下後Julia說了第一句話: "Girls, it's so nice to see you all." I can't agree more!在那裡消磨的時光，我們甚至買了杯Boot來喝，Chris, Teddi是當然的參與者，不過連我和Julia都加入戰局，可見大家的情緒早已不只微醺了　：）

其實我有點醉了啊～可是一想到下一次跟他們一起醉不知道要到何年何月（這次真的可能是很久很久以後！）

何妨一醉？

回「家」路上，星光一路燦爛
我的心，更是放滿五彩繽紛的煙火

Home. Home. SWEET HOME.

Was Alone Here 10 Yrs Ago

"I was alone here 10 years ago," a Korean man told me, after asking me if I came alone. He and his girl company were taking pictures and I proceeded to ask for help. I think I got the encourageous look about "you this little girl is brave" there, haha!

However, the truth is:

Hey, I'm just coming BACK HOME!

小男孩‧邂逅

回程又遇見No.11 BUS，非常不客氣的又跳上去了，結果遇到一個我隨便擠眉弄眼他都笑得非常開心的小男生。還坐在娃娃車裡的他開心起來還會用頭左右撞車車喔！>"<.....
還好他媽媽有笑著制止他，而不是瞪我 :P

開心！笑得更開懷了！

因為一段 與小小小男孩的......

~~~邂 逅 ~~~　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

晃晃

船兒晃晃晃，腦袋晃晃晃。

睡著啦~

趴在cruise的大窗台上真舒服^^

美景相伴，就算一個人旅行 也.愜.意...
