Returning home?


龔老師受邀請到 Missouri mental health counselors conference 給一天的工作坊,她要我幫她負責音樂及道具準備等。我當然欣然答應。其實無論她須要我什麼幫忙,我能做到的都會答應。

工作坊開始,老師引導成員分組分享自己,然後組代表介紹組員們後,老師介紹我,from Malaysia。老師也分享自己。。。

在午餐後時刻,一位成員跟我說:I have a student (studying counseling) from Malaysia too, she doesn't want to go back to Malaysia. (我有位馬來西亞的學生,她不要回國。)
我以為我聽到她說:she wants to go back to Malaysia? (她要回馬來西亞?)
她說:no, she doesn't want to go back to Malaysia. She is Malay. (不,她不要回馬來西亞。她是馬來人。)
她又說:I have four students from Malaysia, one is Indian-Malay....


我心裡有一種很難形容的感受,連馬來人都不想回國,這個Malaysia到底是怎樣了?

Cactus heart


I went to store for something, but somehow I met this plant.
I couldn't resist buying it, could I? 
我去店要買一樣東西,結果讓我見到這個。
我能拒絕不買。我能嗎?

Pawpaw fruit



This is pawpaw fruit, from a tree native to America. However, we couldn't find pawpaw fruit in stores because they ripen quickly once picked, in just 2-3 days. That's why many people don't know about this fruit.

My friend has a tree, planted 7 years ago, which finally produces fruit. She shared the fruits with me and I like the taste.

這一種很香甜味的水果,在店裡是買不到的,是朋友分享她種的果子樹,叫pawpaw(音: 波波)。朋友說這是美國native(土長種)果樹,她在店買了樹苗在家種了七年后才生果。果子熟了就会掉在地上,三天不吃,果皮就會變黑了

因為留存期太短,所以商店無法銷售,大多美國人也不知道這水果。


The taste is a little bit like a mix of banana and mango.

如果要形容這果肉的味道,有點像芒果,又有點像香蕉,又有點像鳳梨,又有點像釋迦果… 不過又不是很像,pawpaw就是pawpaw ,總之好吃。



Last year I composted the seeds and they started growing, so I planted. Now waiting for the fruits, in seven to ten years, will see!

我去年吃了的種子推肥長了很多小苗,我把它移植。要等它開花結果,有得等了,七年十年也不一定!

友情在變


因為事件的誤解或誤會(有錯沒錯我都道歉了),與朋友的友情指數,會突然好像從十分跌去一分。我很傷心。

當朋友是友善,對我很欣賞時,會說我是一個瀟灑的人,或會對我給的分享感覺受益。那時的友情有如盛開的花,十分美麗。

當朋友是誤解,對我有成見時,我給的分享,他們就會說我很主觀,或認為我用自己的想法套在別人的身上。這時的友情有如掉在沙灘,一分不見。

你對我十分我也回十分,你對我一分我也隨它了!

Thailand - Stream Garden at Tung Lung




我喜歡爽快、說到做到的朋友。


G邀我去Stream Garden ,說好日期後,她就策劃找多幾位朋友同行,定房,找交通。。。


老實說 Stream Garden 並不是很特出。


是一處離城市,讓人接近大自然的靜態,悠然休閒假日或靈修的地方。



不過,有時候重點不是地方,而是跟好朋友在一起的時光。





隨性的聊聊。。。




週圍走走。。。



時間到就去食堂用餐。


泰國素食。
