为了兑现我宣传了许久的烤肉，

为了对得起伦敦难得的好天气，

还有那些抛弃我去布拉格享乐的人们，我们要在伦敦玩的更开心。 

 

我家的那小院子竟然装下了18个人，

每人平均5磅钱–见过这么廉价的烤肉吗！！！

多谢senwei等人的帮忙，和无可比拟的持家之道。

还有，liwei竟然从纽约杀回来了，没人相信他是真的回来了，他就是来看女友的。。。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

之后大家纷纷离去去看欧洲杯赛。

我拉上Maria去离家很近的一个公园走走。

  

 

在公园里，有个小牌子上面写着很美的句子 “Life is eternal, love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and horizon is nothing save our limit of sight” — 草译过来“生命是不息的，爱情是不朽的，死亡像是天际的地平线，不过是视野的极限罢了”

 

我们进门的时间是公园锁门的时间，

所以不出所料的我们要爬墙出去。

Maria 一看就是好孩子，从来没有上树翻墙过。费了点劲儿才算过去。

我，常犯了。

 

这一周走了好多好多路，

这一周吃了好多甜食，

 

 

 

 

  my cute funny cousin, he is alway 12 years old!!! never stop laughing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friday night out

 

 

 

 

 

慢慢学习好好工作好好享乐。

慢慢学习同时管理更多的事情。

下周会很忙，人在退休前都是只会越来越忙，所以因为忙失去自己的生活，那就永远不会有自己的生活。

还有那么多书想要读，还有那么多事想要做。

所以还在学习怎样生活。

 

聚会这种东西，我们常常以忙为借口，来掩盖懒，懒是因为已经没有了新鲜的感觉，对人and/or对事。

其实不只是聚会，对大多事情我们都这样。

所以下一回，问我们什么时候BBQ，我说忙，就等于说，如果我们有时间，还是作些更有意义的事吧。

我的思维又跳跃了。

 

i really had a nice day, hope you enjoyed your day as well, no matter you were in my BBQ or somewhere else.

 

 

 

去年，你走之后我哭了一个月。

 

人一旦适应了某种生活，某种生活中的人（们），就很难承受离别。

 

更何况那时候的我根本不知道自己以后是否还能再见到你。

 

我渐渐适应了没有你在身边的生活。

 

我快乐的生活，每天和你在网上联系，每天倒数着你回来看我的日子。

 

偶尔，你抱怨我party不回来和你说话。

 

偶尔，我抱怨聊天时你打盹。

 

每天，你都扬言来伦敦第一件事就是烧掉我‘丑恶’的睡衣。

 

每天，我都质问，你为什么总要把头剃的和‘劳改’一样。 （然后你说这样不用打发胶。）

 

当我再见到你的时候，忽然有一丝生疏感，我不知道手应该放在那里，嘴应该说些什么。

 

这一点不适，很快就没有了。你还是和以前一样。

 

总是喜欢走很多的路。 尝试不同的餐馆。 追着动物们照相，知道一切奇怪动物的名字和特征。

 

当我再次看你通过海关， 转身向我招手，我还是没有忍住眼泪。

  

在你来之前，我和导师安排开会时间，导师说，‘XX号他走，之后你还要哭三天，之后咱们在开会。 …  如果你们碰巧来到学校旁边，叫上来给我看看，我得帮你爸爸做质量检查。’ 我一直把这话当笑话给别人讲，结果还是被说中了。

  

 

 

这次的我应该是比上一次更有信心能够再次见到你吧。

 

但无论怎样，我也没有100%的把握。

 

如你所说，时间这个问题，会让人害怕。

 

如王菲唱，就像蝴蝶飞不过沧海，没有谁忍心责怪。

 

这样的经历和状态， 不止我们。

 

那些想太多的人，永远不会明白。 

 

寻一个自己喜欢的人难，还是等一个人难。

 

我有没有和你说过，自从认识你，我快乐了很多。

 

 

 （感谢侯岳同学早年间的友情偷拍）

 

（同志们，需要组织活动来逃避现实了，腾出时间准备BBQ吧。）

 

 

来记记我的月记。每次有点写作冲动，不是太激进就是太颓废，引用别人的东西倒是很好使。

 

回想一下我充实的生活，我都干啥了？ 每天两个skype，skype 比吃饭重要。周3学拉丁舞-搁浅了。 周四踢球-那真的是球踢我，不是我踢球。

 

大英博物馆的兵马俑展，我终于还是拖到了最后一天才去，6点就起来去排队，但还是被拒之门外，700张same day tickets, 1000人在排队。回来和我爸抱怨，我爸说：那东西，假的，真的哪能这么运来运去。在日本展览一个激进分子上来就打碎了一个，就陪了3***** (具体数字忘了)了事了。 我说：爸，不带你这么安慰人的。。。

 

和一个结婚狂朋友聊天，她一直给我描画电影中的唯美画面，

Y: 人家拿着钻戒说单膝下跪跟你说 will u marry me？

Y: 还有就是有个人站在那里说 now i pronounce u husband and wife…

 

 

 

 

我最近还做什么了？ 想起来在加进来吧。 把facebook上的照片贴上来给不用facebook 的朋友看看。

 

 

 

en fait, ce que je veux dire,  le même jour l’an dernier, j’ai rencontré une personne.

  

 

 

 

A LETTER FROM AN ORDINARY CHINESE  (quote from internet)

When we were seen as "Sick Men from East Asia", we were called The Peril.
When we strived to get stronger, we are called The Threat.

When we closed our doors to the world, you forced them open with drugs and guns.
When we finally embraced Free Trade, you blame us for taking away your jobs.

When we were falling apart, you marched in your troops and robbed us blind.
When we put the broken pieces back together again, "Free Tibet" you screamed, it was an invasion!

So, we tried Communism, you hated us for being Communists.
Then we learned from Capitalism, you hated us for being Capitalists.

When we had a billion people, you said "The planet is starving."
So we tried to limit our population, you said it was Human Rights Abuse.

When we were poor, you think we are dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your debts.

When we build our industries, you blame us for global warming.
When we sell you goods you can afford, you blame us for dumping inferior products.

When we buy oil, you called that exploitation and assisting genocide.
When you fight for oil, you called that Liberation of Its People.

When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you wanted Rules of Law for us.
When we uphold our law and order against violence, you called that Violating Human Rights.

When we were silent, you said we have No Free Speech.
When we are NOW silent no more, you say we are merely "Brainwashed".

"Why do you hate us so much?" We asked.
"No" You answered, "We don’t hate you."
Truth is we really don’t hate you either, but do you understand us?
"Of course we do" You said, "We have BBC, CNN and AFPs."
So we ask you now "What do you really know and want from us?"
And "Why do you find it SO hard to accept us?"

All the BBC reports about China are negative.  human mind is subjective, but as a media, being fair-minded is the basic moral principle.

 

Criticizing is not bad, but selectively reporting is bad.

 

BBC needs to be more professional. if a media can not be comprehensive, it equivalents to manipulating and lying.

Youtube 上面有一个关于西藏的短片，值得一看。 奥运年注定了不会平静。如果台湾西藏不借助这个时间行动一把，那反而到出乎常理了。 意见是个主观的，所以每个人都会有偏见。前几天给某人讲了个‘拉手半年，不敢亲亲’的爱情故事，引发了对中国的文化，思想灌输，以及中国媒体言论自由问题的一系列讨论，让我很是郁闷。 我是典型的中立立场，真理是在一定的条件下才成立的。非要说对错，pointless.

 

我们都知道我们的国家在很多很多的地方都要努力改进。 powerapple 上某个帖子引用了“做正确的事&做事正确”， effective 和 efficent 的区别，要有正确的方向，在谈正确的方法。我们要一步一步的改进。有Reporters Without Borders类似组织不停的监督，想信有一天，中国媒体会做到和西方媒体一样的。是的，和西方媒体一样，但是并不是自由。绝对的自由是不存在的（托福听力一出现绝对字眼，那选项必错–新东方入门必备之常识）。 媒体是一种手段，宣传手段，手段是服务于其领导者的。为媒体的自由之争长期存在是因为媒体的绝对自由在现有机制下是无法实现的。（不要和我一个学交通的较真儿 什么是现有机制的定义） BBC 照样被manipulate，不同力量的冲突长期存在。需要承认的是，manipulate的程度（很）不同。

there is the video on youtube, it’s worth to have a look using proxy or whatever.

 

When other media talk about the media freedom issue in china, youtube delete comments under this video, and manipulates the number of hit the rate. (to prevent this video hits the top page)

 

the ‘facts’ we see are all filtered through media, and to different extent peronal emontion and bias has been added to the reports. again, there is nothing absolute, no absolute fair, no absolute free. the question is to what degree we can have.

 

about the video, dont want to say who is right who is wrong. i myself havent done the homework of Tibet’s history, so dont want to bark here. just quote some comments here.

 

‘most westerners are going to think chinese are brainwashed by chinese gov’t.’

‘I see it as a result of many years of indoctrination of the Chinese people. ‘

‘i can only look at the coments here as a lack of understanding, based on a lack of free media. fact is that the chinese people are kept from a free media and therefore cant see the real disaster. ‘

 

 

‘you just wasting your time doing this. talking about history to americans? they cant not locate their own country on the map. dont expect them to respect other countries’ history and culture… ‘

‘whenever ppl talk to me FREE TIBET…brabrabra..I always tell them, then all u europeans should leave us/ca/au/nz,coz these place are belong to natives, not ur cracker’s!!!CAN U GO BACK TO EUROPE???if u cant do that, then shut up, and leave us along.’

‘as i grew up,i realised how grey this world is,so is politics.
i wish we can all deal conflicting issues in the world with love and care…but maybe we will never be able to do that,we are pathetic human beings..
maybe it’s not a good way to justify the way we treat minority Chinese by saying,look,the europeans have done loads of terrible things,why just blame us!?’

 

 

 

 

It always said that people are unlucky in their zodiacal year.  if you believe you are unlucky, luck will not knock your door. In my year of fate, i encounters a lot.

 

I went to take two MBA electives in London Business School, although i was always the weakest one in the group.

I had my very first job interview with Mckinsey, although i failed to enter the last round.

…

I encountered many many things and ppl.

 

and there is a very special one, although he is 3,110 miles (about 5,000 kilometers) away now.

 

it all begins with a swiss bank presentation, doesnt it sophie?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Salut mon chou, 

you feel weird that I am in Paris alone. So do I. But i am finding you every where.

 

 

they are my special collection. I can not believe i can’t find a YSL logal with full spelling anywhere in paris. i dont need Y.S.L. i just want a Yves. when i opened the gift box from La mère de Sophie, i counldn’t believe my eyes, i think sophie ‘manipulated’ her mama for that.

 

 

 

then i dont feel i am alone anymore, it’s a city for two.

 

 

although we have different attitude in tons of issues, but i am the one always can make you happy, and you are the one always can make me smile.

 

 

 

"you must go downstairs brush your teeth now, i wish i could be one of the teeth who is having your attention now." – the message on comp after coming back from brushing my teeth.

 

"Are you safe back home in this dangerous London ? Are you with a boy ? I’d say no but I’m too far to be sure.You better have good explanations or invent good ones tomorrow… " — the email gotten on the day when stuck outside until 4am.

 

"connecting the dots by looking backwards… … In the end, it was good to do all of this because while Steve Jobs got billionnaire, I got Qianwennaire." — review of Steve Jobs speach on Stanford 2005 Commencement address.

 

"I want to be that Xmas tree next to you"

14.面对友情和爱情，你怎么选择？爱情和友情哪个更重要？
如果需要选择的话，说明这个爱情或者友情有问题。   两个都重要。看什么样的友情，和怎样的爱情。

I often catch myself constantly wondering how you are,

sitting alone with my mind set so far,

reminiscing about your smile, voice and touch,

 

damn this life…

I’m missing you so much.

 

 

 

When I’m not there… do you think of me?
When you’re sad and something’s bothering you… do you wish I were there to help comfort you?
When you’ve had a long hard day… do you smile knowing that soon you’ll be seeing me, and everything will seem better, even it’s just for a moment online?
When you lay down at night… do you look back and cherish the memories you’ve made with me?
And when you get up in the morning, does everything inside of you smile, knowing that this will be another day that we’ll be together sometime in the future?
Because that’s how I think of you… 

And that is what makes every single day of mine.
