好像有什么东西遭到破坏,被汹涌而来的不安吞噬。
有什么能让我淡定,回到最原始的自己。

Merisa Ryu...a soul too sweet to be taken away too soon
Looking at Merisa's pictures on Facebook, especially the ones that were taken when she just arrived in Dubai, I can't help but think.....who would have known she were to return like this.
She must have came here so full of hope and anticipation for a brand new beginning.
She was young. Beautiful. Intelligent.
She was always so full of life.
It was only until recently that I realized that many of us are unconsciously drawn to her for advice.
She always has the ability to calm others down and offer an objective view.
She would support you if you are right.
But she will also give it to you straight and uncensored if you fucked up.
That is what makes people love talking to her about their innermost feelings.
We had an interesting friendship.
We were kinda close but not so close that we would tell each other everything.
However, I am glad that most of our long conversations were deep and insightful.
We were trying to fix a time to meet.
I keep feeling like she's gonna call me again suddenly and we would go out and have hotpot and a beer afterwards, just like before.
Can't stop thinking about the good times that we had together...
The time when I was holding on to her for warmth when it was winter in Dubai and she had THE most comfortable and snuggly sweatshirt on.
Or when we were both laughing at one of my naughty wisecracks.
The first time we met when we did a Venice flight together. She was so young, innocent and pure when we were on the water-bus.
Then there was the Zurich flight where we took the wrong train and almost missed the last train back to the hotel but thank God we finally made it back safe and sound.
And while walking in the city of Manchester, after a fruitful trip to Primark, she was telling me about how ridiculous she thought it was that Japanese girls were going to the plastic surgeon to have their voices tuned into high-pitch squeaks ala Chobits!
She would remember my birthday (and probably every single one of her friends') even if it was not mentioned in Facebook. Guiltily, I can never quite remember anybody's birthday (^_^;)
Because of this, I made a mental note to remember hers and celebrate or at least buy her a gift this year.
But it is something that will never be fulfilled.
She introduced me to some really nice Japanese restaurants and some other Asian ones too.
The delivery I just gobbled down was one of her delightful recommendations too.
Was looking forward to another of our long talks.
But it will never come.
I am sure she is onto another incarnation of her ancient soul to become wiser again.
I should have told her how much I admired her when I still had the chance.
It was a realization that came too late but I am glad it came anyway.
Well, Merisa dear, at least you get to stay forever young and beautiful at the age of 29.
And that is also how you will be remembered in our hearts.
The lives that you touched, have all come together to share their memories of you.
And you know what?
It's all good.
(And I can see you breaking into a smile at this)

真的别对任何人、任何事抱有任何期待。
一直这样告诉自己。
一直都是这样生活过来的,也一直是这样保护自己的。
但还是会有那么几次、那么几个人、那么几件事,会让自己不小心掉入了再显眼不过的陷阱里。
当你开了门,让别人进到你的世界时,你就已经给了那个人伤害你的机会。
事发必有因,也许是在警戒我以后要更谨慎的选择开门的对象。
有时会觉得有可能自己的个性太和谐了,不是在自夸,只是很客观的在做出评论。
于是就学会要狠一点。
曾有朋友说过,不是每个人都像我一样直率、坦诚的,所以要小心,别把所有人都想成和我一样。
很多人,外表都看不出来是什么样的人,但大多都会释放出些许的能量,让人大概知道他们的性格。
最可怕的是那种表面功夫做的很足,所有人都认为是好人,但深交到某种程度后,才发现其实他们表里不一,人前说一套、人后做的又是另一套,越了解反而会越厌恶的人。
要时时警惕自己,别因为这种人,而影响到自己在和别人交流沟通时的方式。
别让他们玷污了自己真诚待人的那颗心。
坚强。
一定要坚强。

一时感触
刚在 Facebook 看了这4年来在迪拜的旧照片,感触很深。
和我同一届的,走的走,结婚的结婚,孩子都生了,有的曾经是很要好的朋友,但随着时间的流逝,差不多都已经完全不联络了。
有得必有失,当然也认识了其他的好朋友们,生活方式也跟着不一样了。
有去夜店的照片、家里聚餐的、庆生时的、受训时工作时、各种正经和发疯时的照片。
Facebook 当真是我在这里的生活全纪录。
虽然成天嚷嚷着讨厌迪拜鸟国什么的,但一想到这种跟朋友们开心无忧无虑的日子,终有一天会走到尽头,心里就突然沉重了起来。
来这里的时候,我一滴眼泪都没掉,满心期待的来到这个我一无所知且又陌生的国家。
然而,这片土地却给了我很多很多。
离开的时候,我会哭吧。

女孩的牙齿
妈妈每天晚上都会和女孩上演追逐战。
叫了再叫,骂了再骂,吵了再吵。
女孩就是不肯乖乖的刷了牙才睡。
妈妈说,现在不好好照顾牙齿,以后满嘴烂牙才知道后悔就太迟了。
女孩觉得她只要早上刷,晚上不刷,又有何妨?
若干年后,女孩在房间里,抱着大象娃娃,牙疼的快要疯了!
牙疼的半边脸都在痛。
去年才刚抽掉了一颗牙的牙根,才没一年,另一颗牙又要走上同一条路了吗?
才几岁就满口烂牙了?
女孩想起小时候追着自己刷牙的妈妈,后悔着。
叫了再叫,骂了再骂,吵了再吵。

女孩的零食
很久很久以前,有个固执、任性、别扭、顽皮且爱逞强的小女孩(同时也极度怀疑她的父母不是亲生的,一直觉得她本来一定是某个国度的公主),和父母还有哥哥姐姐一起住在一间木屋里。
小女孩每天都会从屋后围栏的一个洞溜出去玩。而且每天都会在朋友家待到晚上七、八点才回家。女孩大概只有四、五岁。
晚上这个时候回家,不是因为玩累了想回家睡觉,而是因为父母派了恶魔哥哥来把她给压回去。
为什么哥哥是恶魔?
因为哥哥总是很使力的拖着她的手腕,疼死了。此外,还经常欠她的一块钱不还(累积起来就很多块了!),或是用钱骗她帮忙完成一些事情,然后过河拆桥不付钱。
小女孩最讨厌哥哥了!
被抓回家后,父亲为女孩准备了丰盛的饭前零食。
零食每天都一样。
不是藤条就是皮带。
这天,父亲又问了以往问了数十次的问题,
“为什么这么晚才回来?为什么不肯回家?”
边问边用藤条指向女孩。
小女孩流着眼泪擤着鼻涕,不知道该怎么回答。
父亲继续凶巴巴的责骂女孩。
女孩还是什么都答不出来。
眼看父亲的藤条就要杀过来了,女孩心里越来越害怕。
怎么办?又要挨打了?很痛的,我不要。
我不要!
突然,女孩笑了。
原本骂人骂得一发不可收拾的父亲非常错愕。
女孩笑的更大声了。
“为什么在笑?爸爸要打妳了还笑得出来???”
父亲更气了。
女孩哭笑不得的指着父亲,
“爸爸,你的。。你的。。。”
“。。。拉链没拉!”
父亲愣了一愣,看了看女孩,再低头看了自己的裤裆,再看了女孩。
然后迅速的跑到一旁,背对着女孩,利落的把拉链拉上。
父亲转过头来,向女孩走来。
女孩想,“完了,这次完蛋了!”
父亲脸上却带着似笑非笑的表情,瞬间又回归严肃,骂了骂女孩,就把藤条收了起来。
呼~
看来今天的零食是吃不到了。

去了我最爱的意大利餐厅吃午餐(兼早餐,因为太迟起床了,哈哈)。
上次和朋友去时,服务生态度极差,但今天的服务生超亲切的,还小聊了一下。
在 Daiso 逛了好久好久,每次去都太迟了,还没来得及逛完,百货公司就要关门了,今天要看的终于全看了。
一如往常买了一堆有的没的。
食物也买了一堆,这几天就吃些健康的吧!
回来时的计程车司机还下车帮我把东西全扛上后车厢,除了要去机场时帮忙拿行李,这在平时是前所未见的!
而且就算到了机场,尽管你给了司机小费,也别指望他们会下来帮你提行李。
但这位司机先生却下车帮了我两次!
驾驶技术也非常棒,没让我觉得头昏脑胀,还有,不需我多加解释,他也知道我要去哪里。
如果你没住过鸟国,这一切在你听来肯定没什么,还可能觉得我小题大做。
但只要你了解这里的文化,就会知道这些都是非常难得的。
在这里,只要有人表现出多一点点礼貌、展露多一点点微笑,我都会觉得很感动。
在别处被认为理所当然的事,到了这里都成了难得的奢侈。
所以今天真是完美又慵懒的一天,感觉全世界都是好人 XD
哦,差点忘了,来接我出门的那位司机也很有礼貌!
