时间使人忘记爱情 -- 张小娴

一个女孩子来信说,她看了《雪地里的蜗牛奄列》之后,不明白书里这两句:

“爱情使人忘记时间,时间也使人忘记爱情。”

当你爱上一个人,你会忘记时间存在。你可以每天二十四小时跟他一起。你不介意花十四小时乘飞机从香港到美国跟他见一面,然后又匆匆赶回来。为了跟他见面,你会把重要会议延期,把重要的工作放在一旁。你们约会之后,还可以拿着电话筒聊到天亮。

爱情使人忘记时间流逝。你会忘记自己的年纪。六十岁的人也会以为自己只有十八岁。你会许下一生一世的承诺,忘记时间会改变一切。

然而,时间流逝,也会使人忘记爱情曾经存在。两个人一起的日子久了,爱情一点一滴的消逝。他忘记了这些年来他多么爱你,他忘记了你们曾经多么快乐,也忘记了你们一起经历了许多事情。忘记了,所以他爱上了别人。

当时间过去,我们忘记了我们曾经义无反顾地爱过一个人,忘记了他的温柔。忘记了他为我做的一切。我对他再没有感觉,我不再爱他了。为什么会这样?原来我们的爱情败给了岁月。

首先是爱情使你忘记时间,然后是时间使你忘记爱情。

读后感:告诉我,我要怎么忘记你?

某年某天某地 -- 张小娴

女孩说,她和她喜欢的人现在不能一起,她希望某年某天。他们可以在某地重新开始。

真的可以吗?

我们说某年某天某地的时候,总是怀抱着一个希望,同时也有点绝望,如果现在可以,何须等到某年某天?

某年某天是什么时候,谁又知道?有时候,时间对了,地点却不对;地点对了,时间却不对;时间和地点都对了,心情却不对。

现在不自由,她只能寄望某年某天在某地跟他再开始。也许,当他自由了。她却不自由;当她自由了,又轮到他不自由。当他和她都自由了,他们却在两个不同的地方,没有遇上。地点对了,他和她都自由,可是,那时他们都变了。

他们不是说过“某年某天某地”的吗?原来那是绝望时候的一星火光。我爱你,我深深相信我们的缘分未尽,某年某天某地,我们会再遇,你要好好的生活……我们含泪道别,努力活下去,迎接重逢的一刻。

可惜,所有的重逢,都是想像比现实美丽的。

期待重逢的两个人,已经各自爱上另一个人。直到某年某天,他们在某地相遇,才想起某年某天,他们曾经有一个约定。

读后感:我可以相信我们之间的约定吗?你要我相信你,要有信仰,你说只有这样,我们才可以一路走下去,勇敢的面对将来。可是等待是一种煎熬,现在不能在一起,必须约定在未来,这是一种绝望。也许,某年某天某地,我们真的会相遇,在那时,我们的感觉还会那么强烈吗?

CNY 2008 ~ Part 1

I went back to SG for 2 weeks, during CNY period. Heehee, to enjoy the warmth and love, enjoy being with family and frens. As I am away for long periods now, they shower more love and care on me (thank you!) and try to make time to go out with me too!! Ahh....I m truly blessed :)
Papa and Mama knew my cravings for dim sum and treated me to a sumptous meal at Wan Hao....where the best dim sum (to me and family) are served..yum yum...i was looking forward to the treat even before i arrived in SG!!

I also met up with Liwen, my dearest fren + sister, for dinner and chit-chat, also to pre-celebrate her bday. We are long time frens since Sec 1 and I must say that our frenship is still going strong (and stronger) after so many years... Happy Birthday, Kuah ^_^
On CNY's eve, we went for our usual family lunch at a restaurant, followed by a movie and some shopping. Then we will go to Granny's house for the highly-anticipated reunion dinner :)

Cold Hanoi..wet weather...a warm heart :)

After spending a beautiful weekend in Nha Trang, where the beaches are white and sandy, waves are strong and the sea is blue and clear...I went to Hanoi for work (16 Jan ~ 20 Jan 08) and of coz, some leisure.

This trip is for my boss, my consulting engineer, myself and Kiet (my vn colleague). We are going there to meet the owner and architect for a residential project. As we will finish work on Fri, i suggested that I stay till Sunday as I could meet up with some Hanoi frens over there, who are in wtp and wwtp too. Kiet also stayed over the wkend, as I needed a 'local guide'.



Before going to Hanoi, I was quite apprehensive as what to see and do there, what is the city like, how are the people like etc... friends told me that I would love Hanoi, as the weather is cool (more of cold), the buildings are French-style colonial houses, the air is better and fresher etc.



When I arrived in Hanoi, I was greeted by a gush of cool wind, and I love it! I have always prefer cool weather to hot weather, haha ^_^ The roads are not as congested as HCM, there are lesser motorbikes, more cars, more lakes (water bodies), more trees, less dust.. I start to note the differences between HCM and Hanoi.

Me and the pretty flowers :) Coz of cold weather, the flowers bloom beautifully!
Me and Kiet. We decided to take a picture together, sitting on the grass (its wet).

Hoan Kiem Lake -- misty and foggy due to the cold weather...brrr...
An impromptu photo...I was admiring the flowers and Kiet snapped the photo from behind.
Ah....another picture taken on the steps in front of the museum

The best one!! Took this while waiting for lunch. Background is Ho Tay (West Lake)

This looks like the old school classroom...heehee..actually cannot take picture, but we still took!
Background: Ho Tay (West Lake). From certain angles, it realy resembles West Lake in Hangzhou
My FAVOURITE picture! I look so much younger in this picture :)
CONCLUSION: I prefer Hanoi :)
