今天是耶誕夜。
唱吧..........

Silent Night

Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in Heavenly peace!
sleep in Heavenly peace!
Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from Heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Christ, the Saviour, is born!

明天就是耶誕夜了，後天就要回台灣了。心中除了興奮，還有一點「既期待又怕受傷害」的心情。
I know what I'm worried about and what I'm afraind of facing it. Anyhow, I have to be brave and face it in order to reconnect up the relationship. Every family has its own story~ 
Face it, bear it and deal with it!! 
Only I can say  and do is keep my fingers cross and make best of it...!!

今天早上8點一早就要考試了，所以昨天沒睡好，因為潛意識擔心自己會睡過頭。因為如此，我昨天作了許都夢。我記得，在夢裡「木村拓哉」在追我耶  （一定是因為看了「木村拓哉」版的麥啊喜...）。在夢裡，他一找機會認識我，跟我接近。還不時的打電話給我呢  （拜託，都幾歲了...還做這種夢喔... =.=  受不了自己）。有一天晚上，他打電話來，當時的我住在一個很高的飯店裡。他跟我說，今晚月色皎潔，星星的看得很清楚喔 （不太可能吧，月色皎潔，星星根本看不清楚好不好....=.=）。我就一邊跟他講電話，一邊探頭出去看星星。但是，我根本沒看到幾顆星星啊，所以我就一直探頭出去找...突然，有一根大鐵條從樓下飛上來，還打破我的窗戶，破窗而入。我的頭還被打到，很痛...後來我就探頭出去看是誰幹的好事。我才發現，外面有兩個流氓在打架，其中有一個以為我在樓上看好戲。很不爽，所以丟了鐵棒。當時的我還跟他對上眼。他看到我更氣衝衝的想跑來樓上抓我。當時的我好害怕喔...趕緊想找地方躲.....唉，原來以為在夢裡跟木村拓哉會有一個浪漫甜美的愛情故事，到後來竟然變成逃亡追殺夢....真是萬萬也想不到...
等一下就要去考這學期最後的一個考試了...真是興奮...
再3天就是聖誕節了，也就是快新年了。我得找個時間好好想想2005年裡，我進步了多少？做了哪些事？來迎接新的一年....


Happy Christmas
And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year over, and a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas, for weak and for strong,
For rich and for poor ones, the war is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas, for black and for white,
For yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.
A very Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,
Without any fear.
So this is Christmas, and what have you done?
Another year over, and a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one,
Without any fear.

這首聖誕歌曲「I want a hippopotamus for Christmas」很好玩，是在這裡廣播電台裡點播率排前十大的。我以前在台灣從來沒聽過。不曉得這首歌的典故是什麼，為什麼是「河馬」而不是其他動物。它的歌詞真得很有趣。跟著唱時，就會不自覺的會心的一笑。哈哈....真可愛 （最好笑的是，她說他幫河馬洗完澡之後，還要給河馬「馬殺雞」...）
不過說起河馬，我就有一隻非常特別又可愛的桃紅小河馬。牠是我兩年前在舊金山市區裡的一個Mall無意間發現的。很後悔那時沒把牠不同的造型都買下來。沒有別的河馬比牠可愛的了。
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy 
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? 
He won't have to use 
our dirty chimney flue 
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do 
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs 
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes to see a hippo hero standing there 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses 
I only like hippopotamuses 
And hippopotamuses like me too 
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then 
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian 
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage 
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage 
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs 
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes to see a hippo hero standing there 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses 
I only like hippopotamuseses 
And hippopotamuses like me too!

後記：我的桃紅小河馬....愛不釋手...^^

    

鬱悶................................................
沒什麼好說的...
我的心已經跟著聖誕節的歌曲飛舞了...
已經沒心情唸書了...
（學期幹嘛那麼晚才要結束啊....　）
真是折磨人....

今天這裡又下起了大雪，好像是從昨天深夜就開始下了，下到現在都沒停。宿舍的大門還貼著告示，提醒大家有大風雪，預計大約還會下個6～7 吋的雪，要大家有事沒事不要出去。真是個貼心的宿舍 （  真囉唆，又不是小孩子 =.=）。
不過，雪真得一直下，都沒停過，連清雪的人都來不及剷雪。即使是開剷雪車，不一會兒雪又會馬上積起來了。也因為這樣，造成今天的校園有不一樣的景觀。
到處都是「銀樹」....

像是「walking in a winter  wonderland~~」
雪真得很多，多到連走路都變的很慢....
真得很美。整個校園的樹，除了耶誕樹之外，剩下的樹都變成「銀樹」了...
有人已經在堆雪人了，不過這個看起來怪怪的...
晚上回家時照的。其實天色已經很暗了，但是因為積雪反光的關係，在鏡頭下反而不像晚上...很神奇吧!!
因為都沒用閃光燈 （只能用來幫松鼠打光的小小閃光燈，用了也是白用），這張手....「抖」了..
真的是晚上...看起來一點都不像...
今天的大雪，現在還在下。讓我走在校園時不禁哼起了一首聖誕歌曲... 

再10天就是聖誕節了，每個人都忙著shopping、準備那天的到來。連校園也充滿真快要過節的氣氛。我還有一個 Final paper 和 Final exam要準備。真的是快念不下去了。整個人的情緒都快被「Rock」了起來.....
聽膩了「Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way....」了嗎？？ 來「Rock」一下吧...
                            

這是一首很可愛的聖誕歌曲，描述一隻紅鼻子的糜鹿(Rudolph)，因為他的鼻子太紅了，所以其他的糜鹿都不跟他玩。後來在一天大雪紛飛，視線不佳的夜晚，耶誕老公公就把Rudolph叫過來說，你的鼻子這麼紅，今天的雪橇就由你的紅鼻子帶路吧。又來因為這樣，Rodolph 那天立功了，其他的糜鹿都變的喜歡他了...
我是覺得，這首歌的歌詞表面上好像是天真可愛，不過背後隱喻著這美國社會的功利主義...從小就教小孩這樣視利...=.=...!  
    
Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
(like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

隨著聖誕節的即將到來，這個學期也跟著接近尾聲了。一大堆的期末報告和考試接踵而來。我......快忙翻了...
我看大家都一樣，連老闆也在忙...跟他meeting都不到5分鐘就結束，不然就是，約好了時間，他就遲到。然後，講不到5分鐘，他又要去開會....我......被冷落了...
我真希望這時間趕快過去...我已經等不及好好休息一下了....精神上覺得好疲累喔...
真想哭.......
算了...再怎麼抱怨...再怎麼低潮...再怎麼自怨自艾...
功課還是要做，試還是要考，meeting還是要再約，路還是要走下去....時間還是會流逝...太陽依然會升起....
來聽首歌吧...
這一首聖誕歌曲，很輕快...  不曉得這首歌的歌名以前，一直誤以為它就叫做「Walking in a winter wonderland」，講起來還真繞舌...
