    两个月纪念 - [心情曲]

    貌似和戴老师一起回来总是很开心的,总能让我有感而发写点什么。

    女人,有些时候总是伤感的,看着晓玲做的视频,毕业那会儿的东西,看着看着,似乎眼泪就打转了。努力让自己不伤感,毕竟每个时段都有不同的心境与记忆。就好比方才和戴老师聊天,聊到她毕业时候的故事,“跳楼布置作业”“把剧院说成妓院”,够强悍!说到以前她应聘新人的感受,由于公司规模大,能满足应届生毕业5000RMB的目标,但是太多人力,不思进取,其实是害了他。我认同。并不是因为我卑微的工资让这样的理由有自我安慰的借口,但确实养尊处优,因此满足,毕业便开始养老,没有动力人会懒惰。我很谢谢戴先生,她不断地在教我东西,给我机会。从一开始让我做人事助理,负责薪资福利,现在慢慢地教我做库存报表,教我财务术语,还让我做助教,让我熟悉ACCA。MS DAI很随和,很幽默,也很牛,如果我在30岁的时候能达到现在的她这样的水平,我就短期满足~今天她问我这两个月以来最开心和最不开心的是什么的时候,其实我想回答,最开心的是她一次次教我东西,然后我做错事情,大家不怪我,其实貌似被大家叫叫霹雳贝贝也不错啦。呵呵。也许这是所谓的磁场,合拍的,能互相吸引的,就无所谓年纪大小,像我们就有60,有70,也有80。MS DAI今天第二次请我吃DQ了,哈哈,一帮子很能吃的女人啊~不过很ENJOYING这样的CONVERSATION LAH。明天会有GM的HR电话我,但是我深深的喜欢这里的同事,我不想离开,虽然有时候我也很怨。我决定坚持在这里。

    我承认我怎么那么美逻辑,看看我写的东西没有连贯就可想而知。故此大家交我小BLURD,并号称我把大家感染了。哈哈~能这般有感染力,不管是好的坏的,那也不错啦。大家又叫我霹雳贝贝,其实我也很无奈,为什么那么电器杀手~OKAY~我想说,这几天,我连连犯错,开错N张支票,一次一次去银行,导致柜面看到我都只能傻笑,又忘这忘那,脑子不太好使...不过这些天来,一次次的出错,交了学费,我便多懂得了些,大家也鼓励我,很感动。

    最后呢,我想说的是我相信若干年,我的薪水会是现在的10倍,20倍,会加油。ACCA的路程要开始了,3年的时间,拿下来,加油。

    2009-10-13

    在這個單純的環境裡晃眼已經一個多月,看看日曆,好似一年又要過去。無心再去感歎什麽,似乎所有的感歎都是無謂。只有好好學習,積累工作經驗,才是王道。對於這份工作,起初我是以很平淡的心態接受的,沒有在酒窖的討厭上級,沒有在那個臺灣公司的不人道,亦沒有在那個盤絲洞的品位挑戰,但卻似乎,我在這裡能把所有的先前公司的精華給吸收(不偏不倚地去分析那幾個“沒有”的優點,還是能略舉一二的)。譬如在那個酒窖,我接受了自己認為的最不能接受的工作環境,可惡的頭!那麼在將來,當我碰到不順心的時候,我能想,“既然那麼壞的環境我都忍受了,那沒什麽克服不了” ;在臺灣公司,壹來沒有自由,所有的聊天工具網站都被無情封鎖,整天擔心受怕為空自己出啥茬子被頭頂的攝像頭給拍了,再者這類公司的制度確實處於善意,譬如新員工的引薦與培訓制度,午休制度等,但本人認為過了個度,變成了束縛會適得其反;在那個所謂上海時尚地瞟之處,我體會了下上海有品人士的娛樂場所,這是好事,開開眼界,好歹自己有個虛榮的目標。,但是在那個幾乎盤絲洞的部門,我似乎知道自己要什麽,不是炫耀的美,我要的是寧靜的美麗。這個詞讓我想起了自己對新加坡和上海的比喻,我說過新加坡給我的感覺是一種寧靜的奢華,淡淡的,樸實的,卻是亞洲屈指可數的金融中心,透露一種快節奏和自然的美妙結合。

     

    這種感覺,我在這家新加坡公司慢慢地體會到了,確切地,好似在幾位同事的身上找到。他們有學歷,有資歷,有實力,有品位,有感染力。他們高消費,卻又勤儉,有品位,卻不炫耀,有學歷,卻又不斷地進修,最重要的是他們親和。學術總監兼高級講師的葉先生,全中國有名的英國特許會計師培訓老師,幽默風趣,完全一個糨糊蟲,有時候連上十個小時課,卻依然談笑風生;財務兼人事總監,再加上高級講師的戴先生,我喜歡的美女類型,溫文爾雅,知書達理,漂亮,有學問,親和加之節約,看到她,我有了目標!我不再壹壹介紹我的同事們,他們每個人身上都有著我可以學習的地方。

     

    要說說在這裡的心情變化。因為工作一直沒穩定,心態再好也或許只是個說辭,接到戴先生的電話,流利的英語讓我又了面試的慾望,初見時的那種氣質風範,臭美下,貌似我看到了未來的自己。接下來二面的兩位,稍遜一籌,但是也是實實在在的談話。至於我的工作,套頭為高級顧問,卻是一打雜人員,再小小到做紙工.“我一堂堂大學生就來做這種沒有技術含量的事情?”坦白講我確實經歷過這樣的心情波折,慢慢地我開始熟悉,能做做課程顧問了,似乎也成了助教,再弄弄網絡後臺。再慢慢,我做了薪資福利這塊,戴先生說會慢慢讓我熟悉人事流程。就在今天,同事們在討論下一學期的課程,聽到了個怪縮略詞,貌似是什麽財務英語,戴先生說培訓我去教書,貌似不是個玩笑。如果有機會,我會好好抓住,天道酬勤,昨天保潔阿姨的實在話我也聽了進去,“年輕的時候不吃苦,難道年紀大了再吃?”雖然我近乎天天不在家里吃飯,回家的時候,徐匯上去已經沒有了那種川流不息,但是我想這一次,我坦然接受了,我坦然融入了這個環境,我慢慢地喜歡這裡。

     

    方才和戴先生一起回家,原本以為我們會尷尬,會沒話講,但是事實來了個顛覆。我喜歡這種女人味,氣質,涵養,實力並存。而這個人,就是在電話那頭讓我在厭世的時候有去面試慾望的那位,也是默默感染我,讓我找到目標的老師。她那張英倫身穿碩士服的照片,在幾年後我也要有一張,不同的,我會在法蘭西!=)

    911 - [心情曲]

    上班,其实工作也并不累,也不是老坐在OFFICE,也能去交大转转,但是不知道为什么,说不上的累.回家洗了个热水澡才支撑这具笨拙的身体到现在.

    终于把明天要给那个高中小孩子的题目弄好了,36道题目...不知道够了么~备课其实很麻烦...做老师也不容易.至于还有几个初中生,我已经没有力气好好备课了,明天早上大致看下讲什么就好了吧.不是不负责,确实人的精力太有限.我宁愿呆坐着,却在一天的忙碌后懒得去再做点什么...我的惰性,很强!

    收到小竺的MSNMSG,有点突然,却又很开心,十年没见的朋友,在心里的回忆,难以言语,后天会见面,我们应该会默契的,本能的直觉=)又一个朋友要远赴异国他乡,挺羡慕.但是呢我羡慕的不是能出国念书这么一件事情,我羡慕的是能在20出头的时候去留学,其实也酸是一种的对时间流逝的恐惧,因为自己想去法兰西,其实不需要在那里呆很久,不需要读个什么学位,我只想在那里感受下,然后娴熟了我的法语.至于MASTER,我希望念点实在的,所以根据自己的职业去念我更倾向点.ANYWAY,期待后天的见面,其实现在我的,已经没有很多的年少时的期待,有点趋于心态老年化.呵呵,但是对与这次的见面,有点不一样的感觉.毕竟是十年前的要好小朋友.

    刚推出了MSN,和小帅哥说BONNE NUIT,估计他今天晚上被我弄的也很莫名其妙,觉得语言和文化差异让我们两个有时候难以理解对方的话.对于这点我深有同感.尽管他把我称为COPINE(法语女性亲密朋友的意思),但是我们依然有着无限的隔阂,这种隔阂是不同民族间的,几乎没办法改变的.看到那个谁的灯也亮着,没有CALL,当然他也没有主动CALL,想想这么个强势的让我感觉有点自私的男人,有点不是滋味,但又想到他夹菜给我吃,做饭给我吃的场景,又感觉甜甜的温馨.和他一起看电影,体会电影,一起逛马路,买好多的东西,一起品酒,一起干杯,逼我吃很腥气的鱼,一起听OBAMA...现在想想其实有很多温馨的画面.但是小女生情怀作祟,我会时常有抱怨,觉得缺少了点什么.譬如说吧,一声不坑地出差去NY,失踪N,莫名其妙的说晚上有APPOINTMENT让我一个人回去,CHATTING的时候忽然就不采我了,再或者老是自我中心(岛国意识???),~好了,不计较,人各有各的事情,我该给自己弄个DAILY SCHEDUE,PUSH自己一下,到底是ACCA还是怎么招,总得有点目标,管他有用没用,人多学点总是好的.又想到我可爱的SG同事,嘲的要死,吵得说自己得了SWINE FLU,非要医生说不是才安心然后不再神经质...听这位可爱的老师说话到是很亲切,回头想来,也是一方水土养育一方人,他们做事很认真,但确实有些方面在我们看来会有点小抠门.

    说到工作,5份了...OMG,我自己也堂不劳这个数字,1年不到的时间...虽然没有MBC的规模,没有FTI那么多的老外,没有YF-ELITE的所谓品位,但是呢,IFTC有着很好的同事,很亲切,办公室里一直笑声不断,我第一次有长留的想法,觉得该稳定下来了.尽管在薪水方面我并不满意,大实话!但是毕竟我心理的标准也不单是薪水一方面.再观察咯.

    1,希望自己明天上课能在状态,毕竟也上不了几次了,我该暂时放下老师的头衔了.GD LUCK~

    walk the talk - [心情曲]

    Finally i had an interview @ xujiahui today. The impression of this try is quite different coz i admire these interviewers this time if i compared lots of interviews i've had before. I once was assailed with bad moods in several interviews as the feelings of being in a rut. These interviewers gave me the almost same questions that really made me feel down and boredom.  okay... fortunately i got an impressed interview today given by these high educated MS. lol~ I just guess they all worked in foreign invested company before and then had job-hop here and created their own business. Coz of their mastry of both english and fiance, they are all lecturers of ACCA courses. For the potential bright company plan for a fresh guy, and with my great adore, i decided to have a try there. =) good luck to myself~XD

    一直以来都在寻找自己心中的平衡点。工作于我而言并非只是一份可观的收入就可以了,必须观察这份工作的工作环境,包括地点,人文,同事等等。再来,觉得工作其实和找男女朋友没两样,宁缺毋滥,我可不愿意随便进个公司就了了~说俗点,我怕落后,我怕失败。那句话怎么说来着-女怕嫁错郎,男怕入错行~这样一来女人就比较惨了,因为谁说女的就不怕入错行,我本人就是个典型!

    今天的面试也阴错阳差,自己本来想去考ACCA,所以有了解ACCA,看到IFTC招聘信息,又是个新加坡投行的项目,也就随便发了个简历,中了!今天的面试很长,我知道基本能聊很久的面试基本我就有录取的希望,这是多次面试的经验所谈,哈哈.在经历了N次的面试以后,本人对面试已经有很强的抵触心理,千篇一律的问题,面试官很做作很套路的作风,让我都有几乎想冲出会议室的欲望.呵呵~在近乎一个月没投简历后,我欲重新踏上了面试的征程,现在的我已经有很拽的本事了,不想去的,根本电话直接啪蹋~好在今天我并没有在面试后有很郁闷的想狂吃东西或血拼的想法,那家公司员工的真诚和实力似乎我能体会到,本能地想和他们一起共事.由于服务行业的限定,周六日势必要上班,和我现在的教育工作冲突,公司给了个很好的OFFER,两个星期以实习的头衔去适应去观察.对我来说这是个美差,不错的主意,于是让我觉得这公司确实想招个能用的人.呵呵.HAVE A TRY咯.

    工作其实得来容易,但背后的价值却不是一个面试能观察到的,得深入敌区,哈哈.至于我可爱的SG的PROPOSE,当然很好,A COFFEE BAR, SO COOL~如果你是SERIOUS的话,我觉得我会全力以赴的.现在的我,尊承活在当下的信念,深入那个素质还都挺高的敌区,考察敌情去.哈哈

  • As described as the title, i was once lost, but i wanna be found and have an amazing grace in my life. When on my way back home these days, i across the rarely peaceful place of the city of Shanghai. Hengshan road, a street owns lots of bars marks the nite life of the city. All kinds of people could be found when i across almost around eight o'clock. Walking slowly and watching people acrossing with the quickened shift of mind is something interesting for me. In a sense, life is pretty much like an unsolicited wager,the luck of the draw.  I wonder why are some people born smarter, wealthier, healthier or better looking than others?  Why do bad things happen to good people?  There are no answers to many questions in life.  It all boils down to luck, fate or God’s will, some might say.  Especially the chance for me to sight see so many so called aristocracy or elite of the city these days. Some of them are gentle enough to convince themselves as high-educated person, while some are not that polite or elegant to persuade people to believe that they are acknowledged person. Sometimes i will say "i read Neitzsche", while sometimes i will lost myself in reality and say as mentioned above"it's fate". After the trainning by my ELITE boss, i couldn't help myself to rebuting him. What is the main point in life? Of coz it depends on individuals. For me, the so called TASTE is not that important, instead, a person should have his own value towards life, having a good heart and do no evil.  I am even strongly disagree the view of Chinese Disdain. Becoz China is a developing country, it is no wonder that people here in China are different in receiving education. The traditional Chinese culture, our own value, and Chinese doctrine of the golden mean, determined our oriental culture. Orient people are not that crazy as western people and we appreciate veiled beauty. So in my view, Chinese people are not NO TASTE at all and can i say that the so called TASTE in someone's mind is a kind of occidentalization? Shanghai’s Westerners indulged in an orgy of extravagance. I can meet so many foreigners accompanyed by charming Chinese ladies every day. Is this situation a kind of developing of TASTE? And even sometimes some of these BEAUTIFUL LADIES are like maids. The combinition maybe enabled some of them to have a sense of being in the first class and they are proud as peacock, forgetting they are Chinese, so they may be RUDE to Chinese. Is the situation like business transactionand of human? White people pay and buy some chinese girls with euro which is ten times higher than chinese yuan? They are rich and educated or hypocrite becoz of their race? Besides the existence of true love, my questions hover in my mind and make me disagree certain views of these billionaires and celebrities. As a Chinese, albeit majored in English language and literature in my univ period and appreciated some western culture, I find it disgusting that such a HYPOCRISY happened in my sight. Is the hypocrisy of using wealth to wash away commercial sins and buy love, respect and friendship, or say, buy the so called TASTE? there is no answer. While in my career journey, seeking for equilibrium between inner heart and reality is my rule, i hope to find a good company to devote myself regardless of the hard to find a job under the financial crisis. In chinese, it is 宁缺毋滥. God bless me.

    albeit my poor level of written english, i push myself to write something in english. still need practice more to improve my english.lol

    关于友谊 - [心情曲]

    很久没有那么难过过了,

    继老大出国那会后似乎没有那么强烈的难过感。

    昨天晚上,和UFO一起吃蛇

    刚傻傻地问他上海到北京的动车多少时间到

    人果然有心灵感应的

    短信

    内容让我心酸,妞让我好好照顾自己,碰到喜欢的人不容易要珍惜,让我注意安全。唉~

    立马立马回拨过去,听到的是那头有些哽咽的声音。

    顿时,

    发不出声音...

    没有声音地留下眼泪,脑子里是电话那头的你。

    挂断,

    UFO看着我,给我纸巾

    不想说什么

    我亲爱的朋友,你说认识我真好,同样的话被你早一拍说了。

    我们会是一辈子的好朋友,我也会一直默默支持你,希望我们都幸福快乐。有你,真好。记在心里的朋友,即使相距多远,也不管多久没见面,见面依然会亲切,不是么?我们的约定,我会去的,一定。

    友谊,没有爱情的缠绵与轰轰烈烈,却铭记在心。

  • Thank you so much. Thank you all. 
    Well, this isnt exactly the party Id planned, but I sure like the company. 
    I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs, who scrimped and saved to raise money, who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, who emailed and contributed online, who invested so much in our common enterprise, to the moms and dads who came to our events, who lifted their little girls and little boys on their shoulders and whispered in their ears, See, you can be anything you want to be. 
    To the young people like 13 year-old Ann Riddle from Mayfield Ohiowho had been saving for two years to go to Disney World, and decided to use her savings instead to travel to Pennsylvania with her Mom and volunteer there as well. To the veterans and the childhood friends, to New Yorkers and Arkansans who traveled across the country and telling anyone who would listen why you supported me. 
    To all those women in their 80s and their 90s, born before women could vote, who cast their votes for our campaign. Ive told you before about Florence Steen of South Dakota, who was 88 years old, and insisted that her daughter bring an absentee ballot to her hospice bedside. Her daughter and a friend put an American flag behind her bed and helped her fill out the ballot. She passed away soon after, and under state law, her ballot didnt count. But her daughter later told a reporter, My dads an ornery old cowboy, and he didnt like it when he heard moms vote wouldnt be counted. I dont think he had voted in 20 years. But he voted in place of my mom. 
    To all those who voted for me, and to whom I pledged my utmost, my commitment to you and to the progress we seek is unyielding. You have inspired and touched me with the stories of the joys and sorrows that make up the fabric of our lives and you have humbled me with your commitment to our country. 
    18 million of you from all walks of life women and men, young and old, Latino and Asian, African-American and Caucasian, rich, poor and middle class, gay and straight you have stood strong with me. And I will continue to stand strong with you, every time, every place, and every way that I can. The dreams we share are worth fighting for. 
    Remember - we fought for the single mom with a young daughter, juggling work and school, who told me, Im doing it all to better myself for her. We fought for the woman who grabbed my hand, and asked me, What are you going to do to make sure I have health care? and began to cry because even though she works three jobs, she cant afford insurance. We fought for the young man in the Marine Corps t-shirt who waited months for medical care and said, Take care of my buddies over there and then, will you please help take care of me? We fought for all those whove lost jobs and health care, who cant afford gas or groceries or college, who have felt invisible to their president these last seven years. 
    I entered this race because I have an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve their problems and live their dreams. Ive had every opportunity and blessing in my own life and I want the same for all Americans. Until that day comes, you will always find me on the front lines of democracy fighting for the future. 
    The way to continue our fight now to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States. 
    Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me. 
    I have served in the Senate with him for four years. I have been in this campaign with him for 16 months. I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I have had a front row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit. 
    In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States Senator - he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future. 
    Now when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity, and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on January 20, 2009. 
    I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight. The Democratic Party is a family, and its now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish, and the country we love. 
    We may have started on separate journeys but today, our paths have merged. And we are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around because so much is at stake. 
    We all want an economy that sustains the American Dream, the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded, to save for college, a home and retirement, to afford that gas and those groceries and still have a little left over at the end of the month. An economy that lifts all of our people and ensures that our prosperity is broadly distributed and shared. 
    We all want a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep their insurance. This isnt just an issue for me it is a passion and a cause and it is a fight I will continue until every single American is insured no exceptions, no excuses. 
    We all want an America defined by deep and meaningful equality from civil rights to labor rights, from womens rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families. 
    We all want to restore Americas standing in the world, to end the war in Iraq and once again lead by the power of our values, and to join with our allies to confront our shared challenges from poverty and genocide to terrorism and global warming. 
    You know, Ive been involved in politics and public life in one way or another for four decades. During those forty years, our country has voted ten times for President. Democrats won only three of those times. And the man who won two of those elections is with us today. 
    We made tremendous progress during the 90s under a Democratic President, with a flourishing economy, and our leadership for peace and security respected around the world. Just think how much more progress we could have made over the past 40 years if we had a Democratic president. Think about the lost opportunities of these past seven years on the environment and the economy, on health care and civil rights, on education, foreign policy and the Supreme Court. Imagine how far we couldve come, how much we couldve achieved if we had just had a Democrat in the White House. 
    We cannot let this moment slip away. We have come too far and accomplished too much. 
    Now the journey ahead will not be easy. Some will say we cant do it. That its too hard. That were just not up to the task. But for as long as America has existed, it has been the American way to reject cant do claims, and to choose instead to stretch the boundaries of the possible through hard work, determination, and a pioneering spirit. 
    It is this belief, this optimism, that Senator Obama and I share, and that has inspired so many millions of our supporters to make their voices heard. 
    So today, I am standing with Senator Obama to say: Yes we can. 
    Together we will work. Well have to work hard to get universal health care. But on the day we live in an America where no child, no man, and no woman is without health insurance, we will live in a stronger America. Thats why we need to help elect Barack Obama our President. 
    Well have to work hard to get back to fiscal responsibility and a strong middle class. But on the day we live in an America whose middle class is thriving and growing again, where all Americans, no matter where they live or where their ancestors came from, can earn a decent living, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must elect Barack Obama our President. 
    Well have to work hard to foster the innovation that makes us energy independent and lift the threat of global warming from our childrens future. But on the day we live in an America fueled by renewable energy, we will live in a stronger America. Thats why we have to help elect Barack Obama our President. 
    Well have to work hard to bring our troops home from Iraq, and get them the support theyve earned by their service. But on the day we live in an America thats as loyal to our troops as they have been to us, we will live in a stronger America and that is why we must help elect Barack Obama our President. 
    This election is a turning point election and it is critical that we all understand what our choice really is. Will we go forward together or will we stall and slip backwards. Think how much progress we have already made. When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions: 
    Could a woman really serve as Commander-in-Chief? Well, I think we answered that one. 
    And could an African American really be our President? Senator Obama has answered that one. 
    Together Senator Obama and I achieved milestones essential to our progress as a nation, part of our perpetual duty to form a more perfect union. 
    Now, on a personal note when I was asked what it means to be a woman running for President, I always gave the same answer: that I was proud to be running as a woman but I was running because I thought Id be the best President. But I am a woman, and like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases out there, often unconscious. 
    I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us. 
    I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worries about my daughters future and a mother who wants to lead all children to brighter tomorrows. To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect. Let us resolve and work toward achieving some very simple propositions: There are no acceptable limits and there are no acceptable prejudices in the twenty-first century. 
    You can be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee, unremarkable to think that a woman can be the President of the United States. And that is truly remarkable. 
    To those who are disappointed that we couldnt go all the way especially the young people who put so much into this campaign it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When youre knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you cant or shouldnt go on. 
    As we gather here today in this historic magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House. 
    Although we werent able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, its got about 18 million cracks in it. And the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time. That has always been the history of progress in America. 
    Think of the suffragists who gathered at Seneca Falls in 1848 and those who kept fighting until women could cast their votes. Think of the abolitionists who struggled and died to see the end of slavery. Think of the civil rights heroes and foot-soldiers who marched, protested and risked their lives to bring about the end to segregation and Jim Crow. 
    Because of them, I grew up taking for granted that women could vote. Because of them, my daughter grew up taking for granted that children of all colors could go to school together. Because of them, Barack Obama and I could wage a hard fought campaign for the Democratic nomination. Because of them, and because of you, children today will grow up taking for granted that an African American or a woman can yes, become President of the United States. 
    When that day arrives and a woman takes the oath of office as our President, we will all stand taller, proud of the values of our nation, proud that every little girl can dream and that her dreams can come true in America. And all of you will know that because of your passion and hard work you helped pave the way for that day. 
    So I want to say to my supporters, when you hear people saying or think to yourself – “if only or what if, I say, please dont go there. Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. 
    Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next President and I hope and pray that all of you will join me in that effort. 
    To my supporters and colleagues in Congress, to the governors and mayors, elected officials who stood with me, in good times and in bad, thank you for your strength and leadership. To my friends in our labor unions who stood strong every step of the way I thank you and pledge my support to you. To my friends, from every stage of my life your love and ongoing commitments sustain me every single day. To my family especially Bill and Chelsea and my mother, you mean the world to me and I thank you for all you have done. And to my extraordinary staff, volunteers and supporters, thank you for working those long, hard hours. Thank you for dropping everything leaving work or school traveling to places youd never been, sometimes for months on end. And thanks to your families as well because your sacrifice was theirs too. 
    All of you were there for me every step of the way. Being human, we are imperfect. Thats why we need each other. To catch each other when we falter. To encourage each other when we lose heart. Some may lead; others may follow; but none of us can go it alone. The changes were working for are changes that we can only accomplish together. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights that belong to each of us as individuals. But our lives, our freedom, our happiness, are best enjoyed, best protected, and best advanced when we do work together. 


    That is what we will do now as we join forces with Senator Obama and his campaign. We will make history together as we write the next chapter in Americas story. We will stand united for the values we hold dear, for the vision of progress we share, and for the country we love. There is nothing more American than that. 
    And looking out at you today, I have never felt so blessed. The challenges that I have faced in this campaign are nothing compared to those that millions of Americans face every day in their own lives. So today, Im going to count my blessings and keep on going. Im going to keep doing what I was doing long before the cameras ever showed up and what Ill be doing long after theyre gone: Working to give every American the same opportunities I had, and working to ensure that every child has the chance to grow up and achieve his or her God-given potential. 
    I will do it with a heart filled with gratitude, with a deep and abiding love for our country and with nothing but optimism and confidence for the days ahead. This is now our time to do all that we can to make sure that in this election we add another Democratic president to that very small list of the last 40 years and that we take back our country and once again move with progress and commitment to the future. 
    Thank you all and God bless you and God bless America. 
    Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next president. 
    为往事叹息,会阻碍我们前进。生命短暂,时间宝贵,沉湎于空想的代价实在太大。面对现实,我们必须团结起来。这就是我全力支持奥巴马参议员当选下一任总统的原因。 
    As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House. 
    当我们今天在这里集会的时候,第50位妇女正在我们的头顶,绕地球飞行。如果我们能够将50个妇女送入太空,那么总有一天,我们也会将一个妇女送入白宫。 
    Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it... 
    虽然这一次,我们无法打破那最高、最坚硬的玻璃天花板,但是由于你们,它出现了1800万道裂缝…… 
    Now, being human, we are imperfect. That's why we need each other, to catch each other when we falter, to encourage each other when we lose heart. Some may lead, some may follow, but none of us can go it alone. 
    作为人类,我们没有人是完美无缺的。这就是为什么我们彼此需要。当跌倒的时候,我们彼此扶持。当灰心的时候,我们互相鼓励。一些人会成为领导者,另一些人将紧紧跟随,但是没有人能够独自完成这一切。

    新加坡那些天 - [旅行]

    25 June, 2009

    1:30飞机起飞,离开上海,离开中国,在机翼那两盏灯5个小时的陪伴下,抵达CHANGI机场,时间是6:30。奇怪的是SG的天依旧很黑,都6点半了有没搞错!OK~ 和飞机上两位邻居到别,见到C,一起吃了早饭,开始SG之旅。一路上,看到了金融区,看到了摩天轮,看到了SG的街道,五颜六色很漂亮,不愧为花园城市。第一站,我们去了WHOLESELL MRT,呵呵,SG的菜场什么也是那么干净,佩服这样的SYSTEM。回家,一路路过了植物园,SG UNIV等,冲了个凉,出发去ORCHARD RD,在商场里,感触最深的是SGLISH太严重,我完全听不懂,受刺激下。在这里挺考验人的英文,对我这样的半吊子,呵呵,逛书店就郁闷了。回家,由于实在在飞机上只睡了一个多小时,我吃不消,眯了1个多小时,起来吃中饭,三文鱼粥,很好喝。LOL~ 这个谁出去开会,我一个人上网,跟大家报平安,某人回来,我们就又出发,去自然保护区爬山~原来想想200米很短的,结果,我体力透支,到现在还累~完全没有想法,两个都比我年纪大的人比我爬的利索多了,又刺激~BUKIT TIMAH的自然保护区比较好玩的是有野生猴子,我拍了很多猴子,WELL,OK。今天很累,又是冲凉,明天继续吧~

    26 June, 2009

    睡了个饱觉,感觉很轻松。在SG的第二天,早晨七点许起床,看看窗外的风景,呼吸下SG早晨的空气。宁静的街,依稀可以看到有人在漫步,在晨炼,有车驶过,也只是静静地,仿佛会打扰依旧在梦中的人们似的。洗梳毕,换衣服,发现似乎长款JEANS实在和SG不合拍,虽然我觉得它已经很薄了~OK,决定去ORCHARD RD,看看SG的淮海路,顺便看看短裤咯。(话说第一天的时候冲凉N次,故换掉三套衣服,才出现今天的窘态LOL)。来到ORCHARD RD,看到了久违的人群,穿梭在SG的街,这十足是个小世界,很有意思的地方,华人,印度人,马来人,非洲人,欧美人,总之能时不时看到各种肤色的人。路上,总是干净地让你对比上海。进了商场,SG的空调总是很冷的,爽。试图兜了些有牌子的店,东西不贵,但是貌似尺码有点不对,S号的我穿竟然还大~SG又不是欧美版,他们的身材不也是和中国人差不多么~还是去了他们的小店,小店的衣服还是琳琅满目的,于是买了条牛仔裤,一件TSHIRT,OK,出发去SENTOSA,一个可爱的小岛。但是那边,唉,为了发展旅游业,SINGAPORE也开始造赌场,害本姑娘只能在VIVO(应该没记错吧)大厦远观SENTOSA。但尽管施工,SG依然干净,漂亮,没什么施工垃圾,弹丸之地能如此SYSTEMATIC, WHY NOT CHINA~LOL, THATS NOT MY PROBLEM.OKAY.望着着碧海蓝天,SG,给人的感觉就是一个工作的城市,但又是一个生活的城市,高效率的节奏,却和上海给我的感觉不一样,透着一种人人都能享受生活的舒心。C说,我们去看电影吧,这个与美国同步,可是~唉~在上海一直看电影,来SG来看,OK,在我的劝说下,放弃:)于是改变行线,去了LITTLE INDIA,印度人的天下,印度人的菜市场,服装店,24小时SHOPPINGMALL,却和想象中的那种异域不太一样,在这里太多的印度人,怪异的服饰,挺有意思,这里的东西很便宜,本来想买个锅子,想想还是罢了,带个锅子回去忒麻烦~在这里听到最多的是印度英语,想来并非完全听不懂,印度人还是很热情的,再想想SINGLISH,MH~貌似比印度英语更让人听不懂~HAHA~有意思。是我英语没学好啊~他们好歹是NATIVE SPEAKER吧,我竟然嫌弃人家的口音。回国要加强英语。逛了好多路,累死了,打道回府吧。休息片刻,19:00出门,和凤的BF见面,很GENTIL的中国男孩,还给了我个礼物,真不知道如何感谢。话说人在国外,虽然只是个亚洲国家,也虽然只有短短的两天,却有一种不适应的感觉,我看到的都是和我长相没两样的中国人脸,但是到处都是英语,吃饭也是有点“不伦不类”。于是见到自己的同胞,有种难以言喻的亲切。明年有机会要一起见凤,一个很热心的水瓶女孩=)今天的晚饭,白葡萄酒+ 米饭+(没油水的)鱼+(水煮的)豆苗+海鲜酱+刀叉+筷子(不得已才拿了筷子),是不是就想SG,他们的餐桌文化也是这样中西合璧。而我已经开始怀念纯粹的中餐(热汤热饭)。 听听奥巴马的演说,喝喝白酒,看着SG美丽的夜空,宁静的街道,同一片蓝天,却身处另一个国度。23:00,出发去SG RIVER,去看鱼尾狮,SG的标志性雕塑。一路上,欣赏SG的夜,繁华却不喧闹,和上海一样也是一个不夜城,越夜越美丽。SG RIVER正在搞PARTY,欧美爵士乐在这里HIGH,围观的人很多,又可以透过它,看到一个小世界。想不到合适的词去形容夜晚的SG,这是一种宁静的奢华,在鱼尾狮公园看远处的灯光,看摩天轮,看国会大厦,看东南亚上方的夜空,感觉安静的惬意。一年四季均为夏,忽而下又停的小雨,让人感觉水的怀抱。漫步在这样的夜,走过SG的“外摆渡”,了无一人,却很安全。透过夜,脑海中想起外滩,想起滨江...

    27 June, 2009

    今天很混乱,但是也是一种别样的经历。一个人独自走在SG的街道,宽旷的街道,不知道哪里是哪里,一个人拿着地图寻找着地图上的目的地,用英语和华人说话,一个人在那里傻等红绿灯,免费去SG科技馆,一个工人的帮助,一个印度大叔的指路...难忘的一天。 大早,起床,来到QUEENSTOWN的地铁站,拿着EZ卡,充了10SGD,开始我的环地铁游。NS,NE,EW,整个SG才三条地铁线,让我这个上海孩子顿时信心满怀,觉得一天就能玩很多景点。但事实证明我是错的。EW QUEENSTOWN上车,转NE,第一站CHINATOWN,话说本想先去动物园,但是想想还是想去人文景观的地方。牛车水下车,一路上有很多中国餐厅,在海外做生意很多人都是从餐饮业发家的,既然来SG,当然要品尝这里的特色美食啦,于是放弃中国餐馆,继续走,来到CHINATOWN,买了些有鱼尾狮的纪念品,以纪念新加坡一个人的毕业旅行,哈哈。逛着逛着,买了一串手链,我很喜欢,店家印尼MM说是印尼的,但是我怎么觉得是中国的,算了,ZAN也ZAN了没办法了,嘻嘻。在攻略上有说印度庙,正好,路过了号称是SG最大的印度庙SRI MARIAMMAN TEMPLE,脱鞋进去,3SGD,我开始照相,这样的庙在上海我没见过,所以就拍多了,呵呵。感觉很宗教,却有点童话色彩。费了好半天才找到个印度大叔帮我和印度大婶合了张影,不容易啊。其实本想和一个印度和尚合影,忒特色了,但是没敢,太彪悍,有点恐怖。大门,鞋子完好无损地处在那里,穿上继续向前走~SIMTH STREET,美食街,看到一家狮城餐馆,进去,帅哥服务员,OK,坐下,一个人,点了一个黑胡椒螃蟹,一个椰子,一碗饭,开始美食之旅。这么些东西,我折磨了两小时,店家估计心里在想这个中国小姑娘吃东西那么秀气,哈哈。继续上路,一个人,泰国小吃,不好吃,罗勒MANGO汁才1SGD,很爱,后悔没再买一瓶,LOL。一个包一瓶水,继续地铁之旅,这回事NE来到NUS(NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE),谁知道地图上那么点的距离,实际有那么遥远,姑娘我走了好久,路过了SG的H1N1监控所,路过了NUS那得大学城,还是没走到。期间一个很丢脸的故事,话说SG的很多小马路都是要自己控制才可以有绿灯的,于是本姑娘第一次一个人在空旷的SG大街,四处没有一个人,OK,等啊等,这个红灯真是N久,想不通,大约傻等半小时,才发现要自己按按钮~~糗~~~问题是NUS还没到,我走得不行,栏TAXI,我死也拦不到,话说SG这里的车速,贼快,汗~又让我碰到很感动的事情,SG的工地一大叔见状,进行了下国际援助,上马路帮我拦了辆,我不停地说THX,他会心的笑. 又是个超级能侃的SG司机大叔,一直在对我说”UNCLE跟你讲啊~~”,OK,SG的第一次的士之旅游交给这位UNCLE,在NUS转一圈,喜欢这里,心里产生留学念头,打住~没找到SG AIRLINE上的两位大叔,于是开始有点小绝望,因为身上没有SGD,我没办法回去了 询问NUS的学生,也很热心,问我要不要和他们一起坐校车,这个时候接到那两位仁兄的电话,OK,和NUS那些学生道谢谢说再见,上了那两位的黑车,目的地SG科技馆,由于他们的项目在里面展览,所以我免费进去了,看了下这里的科技馆,全英文,好多孩子,触电游戏玩得我惊心动魄.哈哈~晚上,本想和大叔们去掉鱼,但是考虑到行李都不在身边,还是作罢,回来看到他们传我的图片,哎,后悔没有去摩天轮下掉鱼,那应该很浪漫的.算了总体而言,这一天过得坎坷但快乐.晚上的时候回到BUKIT TIMAH,睡得又和死猪一样...

    28 June, 2009

    按时起床,整理好包,下楼,ROLA帮我叫好了TAXI,回程...

    CHANGI AIRPORT, TERMINAL3, GDBYE SG, I’LL BE BACK^^

    天上人间,碧海蓝天... 再见了新加坡...

    一个人的毕业旅行也将在5小时后结束

    我的大学,4年,转瞬即逝在SG的4天,却已让我有思乡的感觉

    爱这里, 但是更爱上海的家人,朋友离开, 两年多次,我应该还会再来

    想对自己和朋友们说飞机逆风才能起航,我们毕业了,纵然太多不顺,那是一种磨练不是吗?我们一起加油,80后的时代才刚刚开始!

    bach to univ - [心情曲]

    je suis en train de rester dans mon chambre de l'univ~ bon~ ça me fait plaisir et comfortable à l'univ ^^et peut-être c'est ma dernière semaine ici, donc un peu triste pour moi de dire au revoir à ma vie d'être une étudiante~ mais c'est compliqué mon ceur. j'ai eu le visa au singapour aujour'dhui avec contente d'avoir le premère visa pour deux ans et pleusieur fois. c'est bien comme ça. je vais aller à singa pour visiter le pays et amuser moi bien là.

    人生第一次的签证下来了,SG两年多次30天,很好,对我来说,我的PASSPORT,目标是上面有一张去法国留学的签证,然后去申根国,体验一下欧洲的美。OK~WHATEVER,我想明白了,我还是去SG吧,不管怎么样,那里是个制度严明的发达国家,我会是安全的,明天问下辅导员就订票子吧。人总是很矛盾,两个自己在做斗争,去OR不去~还是选择去~目的是旅游,是走遍世界,是去闯,是去开拓眼界,谁说这不是一种阅历一种知识,不是么?不用顾虑太多,毕竟老天爷对我很好,水瓶MM的BF再SG也混了很久。这些都是我的运气,虽然这些天,有时候我的运气又点糟糕,但毕竟人不可能一直风顺。OK,掉东西,说明自己心不在焉,做事丢三落四,今天掉的东西还不算重要,但是能警示我以后要小心,无论做什么。OK,确实,凡事发生都有原因,能找到对自己有利的SOLUTION就好。我是个愚钝,疯狂的女孩,但是我也有我自己的警惕心,可能表现方式不一样。担心我的朋友们,放心,我知道SG的报警电话,出事情我会CALL POLICE。所以请你们放心。我是成人了,后果自负。是我自己选择的。一个人的旅行,第一站竟然是境外,另一个我也佩服这个自己。小帅哥一个人去了日本,为什么女孩子一个人不能旅行,中国人的思维是女孩子会吃亏~我也深知这一点,毕竟我也是个RESERVED的人。可是不尝试,哪里来的精彩?我不是叛逆,也许是善良,也许是傻,也许是笨,也许是聪明,也许是另类,不知道~OK~我的人生我自己做主来着~第一站,SINGAPORE!
