Last Friday, I went to the movie "2012" with NL. It was just an exaggerated version of "The Day of Tomorrow". Yet those disastrous scenes made me feel like a convict walking out of the cinema. See what had we done to our earth. The earth was crying. Sooner or later, we had to pay the price. It didn't make any difference to the Earth who was living on it. It was us who should worry that whether we could still live on this planet. I swore to myself that I would do what I could do to heal the world.

    It is strange that I can spend several hundreds on a pair of shoes, trousers, bag, etc. Yet it just kills me to know that our water and electricity bill is becoming higer and higher. I don't want to make me look good. In my heart, I just feel guilty that how many resources have we wasted. If we can do with 20, why should we make it 50. The extra is what we waste. So just take actions to save.

    Saturday, I got up early and went to the fruit wholesale market. I got back two cases of apples and one basket of dates. The afternoon was spent on my computer. It came back after maintenance of its mainboard.  Hard disk came first and mainboard this time. I just wondered what would follow. It just made me feel that computers were doomed to be broken. Anyway, it felt good to use desktop computer than laptop one.

    Sunday. There was a lecture on financial management in the city library. I got up early and met CM and Anne in the library. Because of lying down late and getting up early, I jawned from time to time. Yet it really felt good to smell the fresh air. Compared with the library at our college, the city library was not big enough. But I assumed that its collection was enought to satisfy the needs of most people. I even read some journals concerning my major there.

    The lecture was not professional enough for us. It just gave us some basic guidelines and encouraged us to take a positive attitude towards investment. Yet the Canadian lecturer got a good accent. So  I just took it as an opportunity to practise my listening. I just couldn't remember the last time I went to an English lecture.

    After lecture, we went to the department store in RUIJING. There was a promotion there. So I bought the D'eborah bag. I struggled but I bought it. It cost me nearly 700 after 65% discount. I just didn't know how did I make up my mind. On the way home, I thought to myself if my parents knew the price, they would stare their eyes and exclaim. I could even imagine the expression on their faces. So even though it might be invisible, we had to admit that a gap existed, between the former generation and us, between us and later generation.

    上周末教研室同仁加个别家属三十来人潮汕两日游。导游比喻说，潮汕就好比福建的泉州和厦门。然后，潮州的开元寺没有泉州的感觉有历史底蕴。汕头更是完全出乎我的意料之外的。在我想象中，我认为汕头同为特区，应该是一个美丽的发达的城市，可是事情完全相反。城市规划不是太好（马路上的绿化简直就是天马行空，爱咋咋地的），城市管理也不是太好（超多黑的的，交通管制也是乱七八糟的）。消费也不是太高。据说比较好的小区房价一平五六千左右而已；打的起步价5块；水果比厦门便宜了一半左右......跟团旅游，没有玩到该玩的地方；没有当地人的引导，没有迟到正宗的特色小吃；跟YY一起旅游，也没让她尽兴地玩一下，唉......诸多不满！不过，我还是没有后悔走一趟。我有一个小小的梦想就是希望我的足迹遍布全国各个角落。而且，第一餐吃的素菜给我的感觉还是蛮新鲜的；潮州的牌坊街，状元街和古街还是蛮有味道的，虽然匆匆一瞥。让我想起了李小龙那时代的影视。

    YY周二回去的。真是有点不好意思。下来后也没有好好地陪人家。旅游也没尽兴。

    下午小组开个关于期中检查的讨论会。大家展开一贯的热烈讨论。这种感觉真的挺好的。虽然有时候难免由于自己的黔驴技穷而感动沮丧，每次都从大家的讨论中都获益良多。而且我发现我越来越能承认容忍自己的缺陷。完美主义的我也在慢慢地接受一个现实中诸多缺陷的自己。

    晚上跟萍，NL去了洪楼吃海鲜。厦门随处可见的海鲜排挡。不过感觉还是不错的。顺道逛了商场。有一些东西看着还是不错，不过没买。因为我现在是理性消费者，吼吼~

    BTW，所谓的理性消费者那天陪YY逛街的时候居然败了条ONLY的裤子回来。我发现自己有一些很购物方面的执念。念书的时候，我一直希望有那么一天我想拥有一条箱子的牛仔裤。后来，我有了；然后我希望我能穿得好ONLY的裤子。那天也被我碰到了；今天，我萌发了个另一个执念，我希望拥有一个D'eborah的包包。我想这种执念是一个连接着另一个的吧，呵呵~

    That is the end of "Michael Jackson: This is it". That is what the film about.

    I was never a fan of him. I  was never interested in the news of him, bad or good. Even the news of his passing away meant little to me. I just like some of his songs especially "Heal the world". It is so soft and sweet that I even doubt that it was one of his pieces. Because in my shallow mind, I just considered him as some pop star, some dancer.

    Today it suddenly occurred to me that I shouldn't miss this. So I invited CM to accompany me. And both of us were shocked. That was king of pop. He was not someone, but the one. Even though he made himself seem like a ghost, even though he caused some scandals, he was great as a singer and dancer. He respected his work. He did great. At stage he was just the music itself. I guess the film reminded millions of fans a regret. The concert couldn't be on stage. If it were on stage, it would be marvelous, I believe. I respect him as a great artist. 

    PS: "My sister's keeper" is also a nice film. It shows us a peaceful patient, a desperately struggling mother, a understanding father, a sensible child...... 

    如Darling所说，满满真的是个很爱笑的女孩。见她的第一眼，她有点怯生生地看了我几秒，中间哭闹过一两回，其他的时间几乎都在笑。Darling说跟我挺亲的。刚看着生人时她一般都是哭的。可是对着我就几秒钟的“迷惘”后就是一直笑。其他的小孩一般都是7坐8爬的。满满才6个月已经全会了。而且逮到什么东西抓着就能站起来了，真是太厉害了。满满没有出生前一直开玩笑说是我的干女儿。不过过去了我很自然地脱口而出就说“阿姨”。Darling估计有点生气了，直接免了我这个干妈。不过，我只是不习惯干妈这个称呼而已。我的人生字典里好像没有这个词汇。不过看到这么可爱的满满，我决定我要努力学习当一个称职的干妈，呵呵~

    周六在冠亚的大洋随便逛了逛。看了条OASIS的裙子，一双Kisscat的鞋子和另一个不知名牌子的鞋子。都蛮划算了。然而我居然没买。只是因为裙子相对成熟些，鞋子使用率相对低些，我就这样过了。上次在新世界看的鞋子也漂亮也便宜，我也因为脚感不是太好放弃了。发现我越来越节俭了。

    下午去娟新家了。地段虽然偏了些，小区很不错的。虽然是新家，但是家给人蛮温馨的感觉。当然可能还需要慢慢填充生活的记忆。看到娟依旧那样“不鸣则已，一鸣惊人”的，我不知道为什么打心里地觉得安心。感觉精神和身体状况都还不错。或者说可能像跟父母一样，看到女儿成家了生子了放心了，哈哈哈~BTW，觉得玲在FZ也给娟很大的安慰，真是羡慕咧！

    周天，体验动车太姥山行。FZ到太姥山才花了一个小时。真是不错。不过由于不太熟悉，绕来绕去浪费了很多时间。下午开始真正的登山。幸好碰上一个超级好心的“地导”--ZDF。我们先参观了空中表演。离地面太远，刚好太阳直射，看得抬头纹说不定多了好几条也看得不是很爽。没有想象中的刺激。不过还是对他表示十二分的敬意。然后就是爬山爬山。说实话，看得山多了，觉得什么山都是一样的。发挥你的想象能力，你说它是什么就是什么。所以我爬山不是为了看山。不是倒是过了真正的一线天，然后过山洞，点头哈腰的，有点做牛做马的感觉。不过出来后的那种感觉真是很爽。据说可以在太姥山上走三天都走不同的路，过不同的山洞。

    原本打算一天来回的。到太姥山火车站的时候居然没有买到票。而汽车票只有当天5点多的。只能入住了。关键是下山后，回镇上的车也没有，顺风车也没搭成。去当地的村落，让村民联系了车，连夜回镇。在地导的带领下吃了好吃的小笼包。蛮又跑了趟火车站居然买到上一站的同一列动车的票，顺利地当天回来。甭提有多高兴了。

    说说我们的地导。其实只是在公车上看到的一个当地人而已。原先在XM工作，目前待业中。人家本来只是来看看表演，拜拜佛就要回去的。居然主动地给我们当起了地导。若不是他的话，估计我们没办法在规定的时间内游完值得游的地方；没有办法回到顺利回到镇上；没有办法吃到比较地道的当地小吃；没有办法当天回来。素不相识的人居然这么热心，全程陪侯，还主动提出我们可以去他家住宿。正因为如此，我小人之心度君子之腹地认为他有不轨的企图。不过，人家真的只是单纯的好心而已。我想这一半要归功于我的游伴，玲和CM。有些人真的是做一件事认识一堆人，而有的人是做一堆人也不能认识一个人的。玲是属于前者，而我是典型的后者。

    周一回来，全身持续酸痛。该回到正轨了。改作文，下周要开始上课了。

    教研室CZ游改到这周了。我要养精蓄锐咯。YY要陪我一起去，太好了，呵呵~

    看完了《败犬女王》。典型的台湾偶像剧。型男靓女；有点夸张不太严谨的情节；感人的故事；感动的瞬间......

    赋闲的日子，看了几部片子。首先完成了《越狱》。看完的空虚感，进入的第一次深度抑郁说明了它绝对是一部好片子。I just wish I were that smart. But sometimes I wonder whether it is lucky to be that smart. Even though I think Michael's ending up like that is just the best for him, I still feel kind of sorry. The TV play teaches me what is brotherhood, what is competition and cooperation. And sometimes blood just means nothing in face of power and profit. While freedom means everything. But you won't realize that until you are to lose it. The remarks Michael made in the video reminds me of the ending of "Braveheart".

    然后就是《海鸥食堂》。WQ推荐的。一部在芬兰拍的日本片。情节简单，人物简单，但是寓意却不一般。主人公幸惠在父母双亡后自己独自开了一家店。取名叫海鸥食堂，是希望它只是路边的一个亲切的小店，而大家驻足停留，稍作休息。幸惠平和，有自己的坚持。而小绿，直率，孩子气，是个凭着手指指向地图哪一端就可以到那的人。而正子是个卸下重负，却没有找到安宁的人；对日本文化着迷的阳光帅气的芬兰小伙；丈夫离家出走的中年女人；忘不了自己咖啡机的中年男人......海鸥食堂像是一所医院，进去的人伤痕累累，出来的时候他们获得了安定与平和。话语很少，但却每句话都各有寓意，连煮咖啡的方式，打招呼的方式都是。

    看了部日剧《绝对男友》。人机恋的故事。论感动不比《我的机器人女友》。日本可能由于这方面的高超技术。拍了很多诸如此类的电影，电视剧，动画片。不过，反过来想想可能是因为人类对自己失望了，才会在机器上寻求一种安慰。无奈纵使人类多么地令人失望，机器终究无法弥补。里面的几句朴实的对白让我很感动。机器人本来是没有感情的。他们被造出来就是为了奉献爱情，如果他们想索取感情的话就是不合格的产品，应该被销毁。可是制造人说：剥夺感情就等于剥夺生命。还有就是最后创志和梨衣子的对话：おかえり　　ただいま

    最近总是时不时地收到陌生号码的祝福短信。有时候是一个笑话，有时候是一祝福，感觉到一种温暖。给过学生自己的号码，丢过一次手机，所以很多号码变成陌生的。不过能这样默默地被人祝福实在是一种幸福。

    毫无厘头的，空虚感袭来。我只能试着理解，可能是因为没日没夜地把《越狱》剩下的两季看完了。看完精彩的连续剧的惯性的空虚感。这是这次更甚。

    早上上课的时候，学生的辅导员又stop by。点了下头，张望了几眼走了。下午下课的时候二班的班长过来跟我说：辅导员让他转达，以后他批的假条在我这边无效。我可以自己看着办。我当下傻掉，哭笑不得。学校告诫我们教师是没有权利批假的，只能以辅导员签名的假条为准。而他却赋予了我这种权利，我感觉很纳闷，很恐慌。首先，为什么没头没脑地冒出这么一出；其次，干嘛让学生传话。辅导员跟任课教师沟通不是很正常，也是必要的吗？最后，我到底怎么做呀。理会他的假条，可能经常有学生动不动请假，事后给我补假条。反正，导员说了凡假条必批。我爱来上课就来，不来我就请假嘛。简直就是对管教本来就不甚好学的，懒散的学生的我雪上加霜。不理会他的假条，他唱白脸，我唱黑脸。我何苦咧~无语呀...BTW，估计是我对他一次课批20来个学生假条有意见的事情有所耳闻。看来对什么事情可以咋呼我要重新斟酌下咯。

    下午去健身房了。发现一溜我们学院的。回来的时候顺便去尚座瑜伽了解了下情况。小妹笑起来甜甜的，带着点生怯。是个生手，不太了解情况，所以老板过来说明。老板是个中年妇女，烫个蓬蓬头，精心地画了妆，说明的时候靠着招待台，两只手闲适地搭着，一副富婆的样子。貌似怕形态说明不了问题，一直强调，她不做广告的，广告的东西都是不好的；她不在乎会员多少的，主要是为了会员好；别的会馆是为了吸引更多的人去的，她无所谓的，又不缺钱，不是为了钱......然后，是对我“善意”的建议。低血糖，应该经常头晕，不应该进行诸如跑步等剧烈运动；体质不好（不是因为我瘦弱才如此下定论，是因为气色。），如果有个病什么的，可能就没办法扛下去；吸收不好，所以没办法通过饮食改善体质，只能通过运动，而运动很多种，比较适合我的就是瑜伽了；通过瑜伽至少也得三个月才能调节过来......噼里啪啦地讲着，我几乎没有能力插上话。最后只能打个马虎眼，心情沉重地回来了。

    回来的路上买了板栗。没有剥好的。我说了下，那个阿姨就说称好了，她给剥。我纳闷了下，居然不给涨价的。心里窃喜。赶紧挑起来。挑着挑着，就矛盾了，是买多还是买少好咧。这么划算，应该多买点，可是买多的话她不是要剥很久，愧疚感又来了。称了一斤，在旁边等着。阿姨叫了旁边的一个大姐帮忙，然后左边的左边的小妹也来帮忙，右边的阿姨也帮忙，一排人剥起了板栗。边剥着还念叨着怎么算那么便宜还给剥，时不时还抬起头对经过的人叫卖。而卖板栗的阿姨只是憨憨地笑着。倒弄得我很不好意思，最后一只跟她们道谢。看着这幅画面，涌出这么种感觉，各自的生活有各自的幸福。而简单生活的幸福往往更让人觉得温暖。

    再次郑重推荐：《兄弟姐妹》超赞！昨晚又看得一把眼泪一把鼻涕的。

    This National Holiday, I finished a Japanese TV play called "JYOOU NO KYOSHI". It told the fight between a primary school teacher and her students. At first I really did not agree with what the teacher preached and practised. Yet as the story went on, I came to understand her and admire her. She was really a great teacher. I especially liked one of her utterances--Education can create miracle. It is a TV play that every education worker should watch.

    This evening YB and I tried the newly-open restaurant named "Ren He Chun Tian" beside Haojiaxiang. It is a restaurant that you would like to enter at the first sight with its classic decoration and a large screen on the wall of the hall, playing Korean or western MTV. But once you enter in you will hardly get in twice for its high price and lousy food. Totally not advisable.
