Travel in time, with Amy Liu!~ ^_____^

閉上眼...

我靜靜聆聽;

風輕輕撫過... 好像有話要告訴我...

 

我聽不清楚... 但是感到無限暖意...

讓我想到妳的慈祥, 和那親切的聲音...

 

記得小時候, 不管我跑到那, 妳都會找到我...

我總記得妳擔憂的眼神... 找到我時, 緊緊把我抱在懷裡, 怎麼都不放手!

 

長大了, 見面的機會少了, 但妳對我們的掛念卻不曾減少...

以前妳對我們的照顧無微不至. 

現在換我緊握著妳滿是皺紋的手, 想好好照顧妳...

 

可惜, 歲月不饒人... 還來不及, 只剩下的是你安詳的睡容...

這一睡... 會是多久. 沒有人知道.

要是我現在在你身邊... 我會衝動得想將妳搖醒!

讓妳知道我們有多愛妳, 多麼心疼妳...

 

風輕輕撫過... 好像有話要告訴我...

我聽不清楚... 因為眼淚不聽話, 不停的滑落臉頰...

風... 如果你聽得到, 代我問候她... 問她在那裡? 最近好嗎?

她, 還會回來嗎?

就這樣... 開到了海邊...

就這樣... 開始哭了...

就這樣... 心灰意冷...

就這樣... 聽不到浪聲...

 

是這樣... 那麼期待...

是這樣... 如癡如醉...

是這樣... 忘了自我...

是這樣... 百感交集...

 

要是... 那麼苦...

為何... 折磨?

恨自己... 太傻...

放縱換來傷害...

信任換來無奈...

若是... 厭倦了...

就大聲說出來...

愛,  不愛...

 

Its been quite an eventful period of time. My 6 months in the US has really opened up my eyes to a brand new side of the world. 15 hours flight away from Melbourne, I landed my foot on the glamorous LA (or so everyone thinks it is). Apart from the noticable difference in weather (which is hot and humid), and the layback + slightly arrogant accent, I think I was able to fit in the culture alright.

 

Before my departure to LA, I promised myself to make it as eventful as possible. I wanted to travel!! That was, as most of my friends would know, my intention of studying in LA. (And to my parents, of course I've learnt alot from studying there too.. erk erk...!) And to my surprise, I managed to do that every week, at least hitting the beaches, strolling in Hollywood, Old Town Pasadena, if not all the way to San Fransisco, Santa Maria (thanks to Milton), San Diego, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon... to name a few.

 

For the past six months, my shopping habit has also been seriously influenced. The clothes are SOOOO cheap in the US. All with brands and names attached. The number of outlets (equivalent to the heavily dicounted factory outlets here) there, was like HEAVEN to me!!! i could easily shop from 9am-9pm, and swim in all the clothes I want to buy. $15US Levis jeans!? $20US CK designed shirts!? $20US POLO-T? $20US Tommy shirts!? (but don't forget to add on the additional 8.25% tax)

 

Not only that, electronic devices are soooo cheap over there too!! And online shopping seems to be the way to shop in the US. No wonder many Americans are obese!! You can do anything over the internet, not having to leave your house at all!!

 

I have also met some great people in the US, big thanks to my dear housemates, Irene, Sylvia and Florence. Its my first time living out for sooo long. Having to buy my own groceries, having to cook...having to clean...etc. I guess I have become more independent and responsible for my own actions. And frankly, I figured, I have inherited some talents from my mum.... I can, be a very good cook too =) OH BTW, Im definitely coming to your wedding Irene!!! ^___^ Just tell me when!!

 

For those who really helped my out whilst I am lost, and showed me around, not asking for anything in return. thank u Milton and Mike. When I was still a newbie in LA, and wanting to fulfill my traveling dreams, thank you for taking me around! Its great knowing you both.  Actually I should intro you two to each other, since you are both photo maniacs. But its been great fun hanging around you two. and to milton, I've really learnt soo much from hanging out with you!! Hope I can visit you again in the near future! Ohh and maybe this time, we can make it to Yosemite, and maybe yellowstone national park too =) AND I DO WANNA GO ON THE QUAD BIKES!!!

 

And to CK, I know I can be a pain in the ass sometimes. But I guess I am fortunate enough to have met you in the US. thanks for being there for me. We've been thru soo much ups and downs, happy times and troubled times, but thank you for being there and listening (actually, you don't pay attention half the time). Its alot of fun traveling with you! exploring and going to all these new places. These will always become my bestest memories in the US. I hope it will be for you too.

 

And how can I forget all my Aussie friends who have given me non-stop support whilst I was in the US... Anyhow, enough thank yous. Now I have been back to Melbourne for two weeks... I guess not much has changed here, apart from the friends who bought a Wii when I was away, and this huge ass HD tv thats in my living room now.

 

ANYWAYZ!!! now I have summarised what has happened in the last 6 months, I CANT BELIEVE I WILL BE STARTING WORK TOMORROW!!!

ARGHHHHHH!!!! Im kinda excited and freaked out at the same time.... cos that means.. I have to wake up early, and go home late, have no life, eat then go to bed, THEN WAKE UP AGAIN, EARLY THE NEXT MORNING!!! AND REPEAT EVERYTHING THUS SAID!!!

 

haha, Im sure work is not that bad. at least my pre meeting with the managers went smoothly, and they seem all nice and welcoming. Also, I'll be learning heaps new things too!! Anywayz, keep you all posted when I can be bothered. DINNER TIME!!!
