About

Have been playing the city games in China for about a decade, I came to Australia and that makes my straying dream nearly come true. But I miss my homwtown, a place they call Jiang Nan. Even though I am here enjoying the alien air and langscapes, my heart is always with China.

Recent

After two friends and I took a house in a suburb area of Australia, the real life continues with stressful paces and extra entertainments. Life can never stop, so does the sunshine.

the last moment in Australia 7 Jan 2009 |

昨晚其实只睡了两个小时。就等着安静地离开澳洲。
闹钟很准时。大卫来的没迟到。没叫醒小妮子,让她睡一下吧。
昨晚,那是在澳洲最后一次见面。
语言班的同学Xi跟我一块走,幸好有伴,可以聊天,如果一个人,我想真的很寂寞很孤单。
坐在车里,窗外的风景似风一样地走了,看到天上的热气球,一直没去实现那个坐热气球的愿望。
我要离开这个安静的国家,去一个嘈杂的国家。
大卫他们一直送我到进关,再多的故作洒脱,都无法让自己的心不伤感。
我想,这次真的要走了。无法回头。
再见了,我的朋友。我会一直想你们的。
————————————————————
上海浦东,父母来了,弟弟来了,这个我一直对同学开玩玩笑是我儿子的家伙,活蹦乱跳,我也希望我的心境能像他如此这般。
老爸的朋友一直送我们回家。找了家饭店吃晚饭。我终于吃到家乡的饭菜了。
菜很香。
睡觉很香。
关于澳洲的梦很香。

the last dinner and, termination for my Australian life 6 Jan 2009 |





这算来是最后一次在澳洲写博客,或者,我回国了,这里就荒废了。因为google的博客,国内是打不开的。倒也没关系,回国了就忙了,琐事那么多,没心情写了。本来想用英语写,但想想算了,烦,累。
明天早上8点45的飞机,那么5点45就得起来。可是我中午起得一向地很晚,然后跟婉如同学约好了去吃了午饭。此位马来西亚MM人称婉如,余认为真是十分得恰当。人如其名。想起小芳同学曾经要介绍给我做gf, 只是我放弃了,不是第一次地放弃。从踏上澳洲这片土地,朋友们介绍我的gf都可以一大筐了,而我都放弃了。有那么点失败,虽然有时候觉得坦然,但出走澳洲还是格外地唏嘘。连我也不知道我到底在追求什么,常常后知后觉。喜欢一个人的感觉,好像离我很远了。clayton强记,注定留下我的在澳洲的最后一顿午饭。有趣的是,我的名字里有个“强”字。其实我有想去smith st再去买条裤子跟鞋子,因为回国了也要买,只是我太懒惰了,起那么晚,根本没时间。于是回家收拾行李,等着晚上的聚餐。
所谓聚餐,只是四个人而已。昨天那帮家伙,来了一个ivy,还有两个王冰冰跟马来哥哥。veiya不去了,一贯地冷血,couple走时也是如此,扮演离别时的冷面绝情不回眸少女。真是枉费我平时对她那么好:好吃好喝带做饭,郁闷时候的倾吐对象,租房时的免费咨询,最后把我的手机费彻底废掉逼我充值30刀两天用。这点比起来,还是ivy比较勤快,有啥都参加。果然是个长途奔袭少女。想起当年那些事,感慨无比,不愧是我喜欢的性格。
我们四个人去了glen wavery, david介绍了一家马来西亚餐馆,人称“大人餐厅”。俺等小子进内端坐,朕点了一碗肉骨茶,据说是马来西亚特色,味道不错,不过大卫说不正宗,但对于门外汉来说,够了。就这么一边聊一边吃,迎来了凉爽晚风。然后我们又去了一家西式冷饮店坐将下来侃大山,从未来憧憬,到过去往事,然后再到鬼神佛祖,好似已经将宇宙都囊括进来了。天马行空得聊天,就好像回到大学时代。出去时候的门口,我们都上演了一把美腿侏儒秀,笑死我了。
那条熟悉的公路,大卫同志将我送回了家,后来打电话老实地告知,明天早上送我吧。本来还想明早给个惊喜,但就怕我醒不来。其实,我已经做好不眠的准备了,每每出发旅行,我都会不眠。lvy走了,在夜色下白车王子的陪伴下模糊的脸庞,是我在澳洲最后一面见到她了。
我去把max的影碟包还送给他了。这位语言班的老同学,此时端坐床头看着电视剧,这样的生活,如此熟悉。我只是呆了几分钟,就微笑着招手离开了。
跟veiya去了房东伊朗老头bruce那里拿绑金,bruce十分热情地招呼我们进来,一如既往地热情。不过费用倒是比arnott的历史最高还要高,但想来此人精通巴哈伊(一种宗教),应该不会做缺德的事情,所以无法以小人之心去看待这位仁兄。仁兄继续他的讲解之道,他所讲的,都是为人要善待周围的人,teamwork才是人类的最终归宿。是啊,我觉得在澳洲没做啥亏心事,虽然常常说谎,但也是玩笑似的。不禁在心里双手合一:老衲已知矣。不过送我们出门时,他给了我一个大大的拥抱,我最后一眼回头看他的时候,看见他的眼睛有点湿润。祝愿他此生幸福,善始善终。
veiya继续剥削着我的手机,妄图剥夺它的第二次生命。我继续着打扫卫生,想着一些人一些事。终于没见到越越最后一面,不过水瓶座就是如此的。下午电话过去,来一句:你好。我就知道,她已经把我号码给删了。有时多情,有时绝情,天性如此。响起杨千嬅的一首歌:可惜我是水瓶座。我现在也觉得我不该生为水瓶座:有点孤傲,有点绝情,有点悲伤,我只想简简单单地过,上天却让我如此杂糅,真是作为上帝地失败之处。我在感情上没有归宿,是太在意结局了。须知:及时行乐,不要在乎天长地久。我的长处,是与时俱进,要改,一定要改。不过,总有人带来额外的惊喜与幸福感。jacky,小芳这对couple在国内要结婚了。准备去浙江参加,感受一下气氛。
这不是我的年度大总结,因为在澳洲的这两年,一旦我文思泉涌,是可以写成一本书的。不过大可不必如此排场,该回忆的,该思念的,都在这个博客里,另外加上微软空间里那三篇小说。
别了,澳大利亚,我喜欢过的人,我错过的人,恨我的人,等等等等。
相濡以沫,不如相忘于江湖。

docklands RMs dinner together 5 Jan 2009 |










起得很晚。后天就要走了,纵然心里依然不舍,但还是要坚决地离开。
也有碰到不开心的,关于原来take的房子,从couple跟小妮子住进去开始,到最后打扫整理跑中介,已然尽心尽力负责到底了,但最后总是会碰到不爽的。不过也没关系,人生这条路,总是会筛选出值得珍惜的,跟可以摒弃的人。
朋友们说都会送我,所以相聚吃晚饭。不过晚饭之前,我独自去了DFO帮老妈买了个手表。其实之前跑了很多家,但总是看不到镜面大一点的,老花眼,还真是难挑。之后去city见了Andy, 这位台湾的仁兄,也会离开澳洲了,不过比我晚一点,还要先去雪梨转一圈。遥想当年,住我房间一个星期的时候,那时候生活真是惬意无比。想想此后大家要为工作拼搏,胸腔不禁平添了无数唏嘘。去了星巴克喝了点东西,然后我们就紧握双手,道声离别。
之后,lulu,ivy,veiya,wendy,david,jacky相继到来。ivy介绍一家docklands的自助餐馆,我们坐了tram去了那里。人声鼎沸,四国友人相聚华人开设的餐馆,然后将美食大卸八块,你来我往,最后吃到肚子胀胀的,直想睡觉。外面的夜景不错,想起去frankston时候的日落,墨尔本的日落,端地是无比美丽。
然后,一路火车回家,大家四散而去。但总有相见的那天。

farewell to Benjamin 3 Jan 2009 |

Ben called me yesterday, said that we should have lunch together. As for this teacher of bridging program, i have special friendship with him and strictly speaking, he is one of the rare Aussie friends of mine. (the other is Brodie) I still remember last year when his band had live show in Nanjing, i visited him and that was a special time. He ever studied Chinese culture and can speak some Chinese, not tall, not talkative, and the most important, i like him, more than a teacher, but like a friend.
We chose(actually me) 渔香阁 as the place, ordered two dishes, talked for a long time, anything happened to me and him. He is studying website building just to find a better job; his band splitted for temporary because one of the band member left...a lot of stuff. This should be the last time I would see and talk with him in Melbourne, but both of us believe, we will meet in China.
I have to believe everything, because i can not be frustrated and pessimistic. Please, look forward to the future but do not to dwell on the past.
Wish you good luck in the future, and for me.

Happy new year 31 Dec 2008 |

对鬼佬来说,今晚是个隆重的日子,因为明天就是09年了。可惜中国人的过法是农历初一才算是真的一年伊始,所以一月一号顶多是个元旦。
去年此时,跟马来西亚朋友一路狂奔去悉尼过新年看烟花,晚上12点整正看得兴冲冲的,家里室友老乡发来短信:家里被偷了。没了电脑,没了手表,难道喜悦也要付出代价?
今年此时,我想平淡地过新年。马来朋友依然叫我去悉尼,只是今年已非昨日事;墨尔本看烟火看来没戏了,太晚了,酒吧也不去了,不喜欢喝酒。记得大学跟好朋友几个经常光顾酒吧,也主要是跳舞蹦的,对喝酒并无喜好。我也许是老了罢,对极致的欢愉也不太想去追求,一顿小餐,看看绚丽的烟火就够了,可惜朋友同学大都回国了,也就作罢。
以前我总是认为,什么东西都不要留下遗憾。现在我想明白了,人生哪那么完美,云淡风轻才是真。没有朋友在身边,眼球也没有被美景膨胀,但过一个平平淡淡的元旦,烧两个小菜自己图饱,我总能得到些坦然与自在。
拥抱繁华应不难,最难如是:笑颜自平淡。
不管怎么样,祝福朋友开心,新年快乐,在国内的老爸老妈身体健康,万事如意。

jacky's show 29 Dec 2008 |

These few days I am indulged with ipod touch and played games until early in the morning and had a long sleep till 2pm...Life should not be like this but since I will go back to China, which imposed me some sentiment and sadness, I have to get rid of these things with some fullness.
Jacky invited me to his living place to get a dinner. He picked me up. His house is with capacious room and excellent entertainment facilities. Veiya, Lulu, Ivy came a little bit later. We enjoyed the screen cinema in the living room and afterwords had dinner together. It was fantastic I really liked that. After dinner we played basketball for a while and afterwords the three girls played Majiang with Jacky's landlord. But we went home very early because Jacky's had to do his part-time job.

walk in the city 28 Dec 2008 |

昨天没逛够,再去city。买了件FCUK的衣服,倒不是我对这个英国品牌情有独钟,只是其他品牌看不到中意的。

boxing day 26 Dec 2008 |

昨天答应越越去逛boxing day,一大早就起来了,大概6点半,其实我昨晚压根没睡着,失眠,加上中东人的嘈杂声,整个购物过程十分吃力。chadstone人山人海,传说中的南半球最大的购物广场,今天挤满了鬼佬。平常几乎在澳洲是看不到一下子这么多鬼佬集中在一起。买了个coutry road的经典包,为itouch买了个case,为相机买了个case。其实这些并非今天才能买到,只不过找个理由花钱而已。越越是非常之能逛,如同在旅游那阵子精神体力都十分充沛。同行的她家那“小姑娘”看来也累了,可是他们居然还去了city。我就乖乖地在下午2点半左右就回家了。想床。

christmas day 25 Dec 2008 |

Today I invited ivy to come to my house to have dinner together. Actually I should have invited more but Lulu and Jacky meant not come. I got up very later cause yesterday I was so tired. But Ivy came at the right time. Her boy friend drove her here and drove us to springvale to buy something for dinner. We came back but he left. I haven't cooked for a long time and the whole process made me tired. Frankly, this time I did not do very well but it's still OK. Veiya made some desserts and spring roles.
In the evening, we decided to go seeing sundown in Frankstone beach. Ivy's BF drove us there. The view was amazing but it was chilly beside the beach. Yueyue came with us. That was the first time I have seen the sundown in Australia, even in China, I did not even think about it.

christmas eve 24 Dec 2008 |










晚上跟随小妮子同学去city玩,期间lulu叫我去chadstone逛街,不过这丫头不靠谱,常常放鸽子。去了city,主要是去教堂看圣诞夜赞歌。一路逛,跟小妮子同学也不太熟,若即若离,最后散开玩了。晚上夜很冷,不过开心的是偶遇了许多熟人:我家Jacky的同学Nancy,Vera, 语言班同学xi,还有新家的室友。Federation square上演了小丑表演,看着热闹,身体却很冷。与veiya傻乎乎地看到12点半后,没想到已经没火车了。最后无奈只能taxi,没想到费用是平常的double, Jesus Christ,打到一小半的时候,veiya同学Daniel过来接了下送回家了。还好才38的打的费用,不然没100是到不了家。

long range walk till lulu's house 22 Dec 2008 |

one church in toorak


在家闷的慌,要憋出病来了。于是想起去流浪。
一个人去了toorak,传说中的富人区,自toorak train station下之后,满以为就到了。没想到一走就走了半小时才到了toorak village,并且那条线可以直通south yarra, chapel st,于是一并走了下来。累趴了,没想到那么长的路。
回家路上顺便请lulu,jacky,还有lulu家那丫头佩佩一起吃了晚饭。刚到墨尔本那会,我还跟佩佩住文文的同一个房子,一转眼快两年过去了,过得真快。她挂了三门,jacky挂了两门。但jacky似乎从刚开始的极度失意中恢复过来了。
吃完去lulu家拷了点影片连续剧,jacky送我回家了。也许这是在墨尔本最后一次跟jacky碰头了。

graduation ceremony 18 Dec 2008 |

















I have to wear formal clothes to attend my graduation ceremony at 8pm at Clayton campus. Veiya accompanied me there earlier at about 6 pm to gather my gown. Ross, James, Ivy, Wendy, David were all. Everybody dressed very formal expect Ivy and David cause they are special. Actually I wore the gown a couple of weeks ago at caulfield, so this time I am familiar with it. Wangyue came there later. The ceremony lasted not so long until 9pm. We agreed to go to Melbourne city to sing songs. Again we came to Partyworld stayed there till 3 am early in the morning. But sth bad happened that Veiya's friend fan got angry with her because we should have sung together but finally we separated. But we got 16 persons. In addition, Ross will leave here tomorrow. We all bid farewell to him and wish him good luck in the future. After that, we went to have some night dinner. And, finally, they fly back one by one...

Fill this place with tranquility

When I was young, I yearned for a life without melancholy and worries. Born in a obscure contryside and raised in a poor family, I had never thought that one day the whole society suddenly turns to be flourishing and a lot of old-fashioned things passed away. This may never owe to the god of a certain religion but remains to be astounding, especially for me, such a pure and simple boy.
Am I pure? That is not a question. I am just innocent of terrible thoughts about taking bombs with myself to explode in some squares or committing suicide by swollowing gas and lighting it. That may explain the stupidity of politics which contribute to people's fanaticism. But for me, life is valuable and so long that I should spend some time in writing down parts of it. Just as the male role of the movie The Shawshank Redemption says, to get busy living, or get busy dying.This is the reason I make the blog alive and updated.
