想念 California。。。


摄于斯坦福 Main Quad @ 2007年6月17日的毕业典礼

~~~~~~~~~

在上海的日子,还有17天就要结束了。脑海里一直浮现出袁惟仁的“恋曲L.A.”的旋律,歌词不断提醒我 California 的阳光有多妩媚,生活有多自在,心情有多辽阔。后来,王菲也唱了同样旋律但歌词不一样的《旋木》,但我还是喜欢袁惟仁的歌词多一点。

我以为我只会思念伦敦的。。。但我错了,原来,我也会想念 California 的。。。还好,我还有4个月,可是朋友大多数都不在了。。。

~~~~~~~~~~

恋曲L.A.

作曲:袁惟仁;作词:袁惟仁

还记得去年夏天在LA的机场
你捧着一束鲜花清纯的模样
在入境大厅里不停的望
怕我的出现消失在你身旁
你说这座城市有你编织的梦想
在时速限制只有九十的路上
我莫名期待地望着窗
让你驾着我们未知的去向
Sunset Boulevard Santa Monica
爱情的地图原来是怎么样
Above the City around the highway
你就是我的天堂
Santa Barbara Pasadena
爱情的幻灭原来才是成长
Above the clouds round the shadow
迷失也是方向

上海 vs. 伦敦

上海的黄梅天闷到不行,我却每天坚持走半个小时的路上班,同事说我是超人,第一次听到有人在黄梅天竟然走这么长的路的。我只微笑不语,想起在伦敦穿街走巷的岁月。突然间,好怀念在伦敦彳亍的氛围,和上海“这个国际大都会”简直是相差十万八千里。

上海,来了快3个星期了,却还没爱上她。

心理老是想着伦敦。

希望今年秋天能回伦敦一趟。真的好想念。当然,还有秘鲁。

仍旧匆匆的初夏

已经快一个月没有 update 了。一个月以来,过着匆匆飞来飞去,走来走去,驾来驾去的生活。这里就先告知一下过去一个月的匆匆近况。

6月12日,学期结束后,便是到 Yosemite 国家公园玩了三天。之后又回到斯坦福,“参加”了毕业典礼。然后,我们又从学校开车到了 Yellowstone 国家公园,从 California 到 Wyoming 一开就是整整15多个小时。待了五天,然后又开15小时的车回到斯坦福,又待了一天,就匆匆飞回新加坡。飞回岛国之前,我们还去了 Daly City,吃了很久没吃的 Koi Palace 点心。=)

然后,又和以往一样,在岛国非常短期地逗留了仅仅四天,仍旧一个朋友也没有见(抱歉!)。之后,又搭飞机到曼谷,然后转机到上海来(因为机票比较便宜,要不然早就搭新航的直航班机了)。

这样辗转,已经是7月1日了。

结果,抵达上海后,已是累得不成人形,又要找旅店,然后找房子,又然后找工作地点,之后又得在一天内熟悉上海。我对自己的超强适应能力,感到无比自豪。=p

现在,上海的生活总算比较尘埃落定。也终于找到了办法登录 blogspot。中国竟然把该网站(和BBC新闻网站)给禁了,但却没有禁 blogger,真奇怪。所以,理论上,我是能 blog的,只是看不到我 blog 的内容,所以过去两个星期干脆不 blog。好了,既然现在已经找到办法钻过这讨人厌的防火墙,以后能继续发帖子了。

暂时就这样,明天再写。
