曾经听说香水之所以重要，很可能是因为一段时间的记忆与那味道息息相关，一切是为了纪念，也为了期待。

好像真的是这样，现在闻到这些味道，就回想起当时的世界当时的我。

雅诗兰黛 Pleasure exotic 是在迷失自我中自以为是的我。如今消逝的记忆，也如欢沁异域的香味一样，有种淡淡化不开的惆怅，是抒怀的味道。

Issey Miyake 一生之水，在现实中跌倒的我。为了掩盖那种致命的失败感，标榜我依然自信甚或到自大，用着它强烈而妩媚的力量，让我站在人潮中，一种强烈的存在感。

雅诗兰黛 Pleasure，不再需要自怜或标识感的我。淡淡檀香，飘渺而美好。

Burberry London 是异国邂逅的风情。是香妩媚了我，还是我赐予了香别一层诱惑，这是个迷。如它的名一样，美好的异国邂逅，恬适的快乐，和迷样的心。开始迷惑，继而清晰，最终回归至迷宫的最深处，无人知。

Tous Touch回归本性的我，容易被了解，容易被忽略，容易消散。

最近被忽略这个字眼和我远远扯不上关系，倒是相反，太被注意，让我有些不安。

待体验的未来是：

Samourai Love Coral;

Britney Spears Curious;

Issey Miyake Summer 2009 (今年不可能开这瓶了，量实在是太大，费着用都用不完);

Hara Juku Lovers LIL' Angel (极其期待)

未来的火花正在产生中......出发!

We finally set off from SH to this unexpected short vacation.  We are heading south now to SuZhou City.  This SH business trip actually was somewhat beyond my expectation.  Therefore we decided randomly during this SH meeting that maybe we visit these ancient towns afterwards. 

We were lucky that the meeting was just finished on 27^th May, which was one day before the Dragon Boat Day holiday.   

1^st Station-Su Zhou City

Time: May 28^th ~29^th

Key words: The biggest and most famous Private Garden 

I’ve been to this small city at fall time of 2006.  Now again, we together 6 people visited this 2500 years old city which is famous for its private gardens, in which the most famous one-Zhuo Zheng Garden became our first destination.  This garden is one of the four famous gardens in China and the biggest private garden of China.  Standing with it, the other three are Liu Garden, Summer Palace in BJ, and Cheng De Summer Resort.  It was built during Ming dynasty (1509) and occupies 52000 m2.  But it was the first day of the holiday, so we encountered crowds of tourists.  This should be the disappointing part.  

The next place we visited is Shi Zi Lin which is another famous garden in Su Zhou City.  It should be a nice place if we don’t take the crowded tourists into account.  It is approximately 650 years old and was built during Yuan Dynasty by a monk who would like to use this garden as the memorial of his teacher.    

In 29^th morning, Fei and I decided to stay one more half day at Su Zhou.  So we chose a small garden which is at the suburb of Su Zhou.  And the fact proved that our decision was totally right.  At that garden, we saw many things which can be traced back to Wu Dynasty during Chun Qiu period and also architectures of Ming dynasty.  And what’s more, we were so lucky that our tickets included one free tour guide, one opportunity to take the boat with typical Jiang Nan style as well as drinking free tea at the tea house plus listening to the local songs there.  We didn’t expect that we could find these elements during one morning at one place, therefore we two were so excited about what we had.  This should be the perfect farewell to this old but beautiful city.

 2^nd Station- Tong Li

Time: May 29^th ~ 30^th

Key words:  Oriental Venice 

We set off from Su Zhou City to Tong Li at the afternoon of May 29^th by bus.  It took us about 1 and half hour to arrive there.  We checked and printed out some key info. at the hotel in Su Zhou including the main info. of the hotel at Tong Li and those info. about the local food as well as the historical attractions and the most important part-----tips of spending the least money to enjoy the most comfortable trip.  

Eth. was successful and smooth.  We got there on time and found the hotel successfully (the boss of the small hotel is a nice guy and he offered us a pick up service at the bus station).  The ticket to enter into Tong Li ancient town is 80.- RMB.  This ticket includes about 6 to 8 attractions inside and outside the town.  With this ticket you could enter into and get out of the town freely.  At first, we planned to save money and decided to choose a small hotel with old style inside this ancient town.  The daily working time of the ticket checker at the main entrance of the town is from 7am to 5:30 pm.  That means if we got there after 5:30 pm then we could enter into the town without buying the tickets.  That’s why we decided to spend another half day at Su Zhou and leave there at 4 pm, and we arrived at Tong Li exactly at 5:40 pm something.  But after we arrived at the hotel, the boss there told us that we could get two tickets with 100RMB because the other two guys would like to sell their tickets and they only visited one historical attraction.  We thought this should be a good price and at Tong Li we could find something really old and has long history so why not!  And guess what, we found a very interesting thing there.  We found that there is a sex culture museum which is the largest and most famous across China and is also famous worldwide.  We really didn’t expect this.   

The boss of the hotel told me that in Tong Li, there are more than 70 different bridges and all built in different times by the local people.  They believe that to build bridge could show their kindness and this will help their next generations to remember their ancestors.  That’s why Tong Li has another name----- Oriental Venice. 

My impression of Tong Li is a quiet and unsophisticated town with a history more than 5 thousands years.  The people there still keep some old traditions and the most shining point is that they still keep the pure and positive characteristics. 

3^rd and Last Station- Zhou Zhuang

Time: May 30^th ~ 31^st

Key words:  No. 1 river town in Jiang Nan area 

We left Tong Li at the late afternoon of 30^th with the main purpose again----- to save the cost of the tickets.  The ticket there costs 100/p, and we learned from the boss of the hotel at Tong Li that the working time of the ticket checker at Zhou Zhuang is from 7:30am to 8:40pm.  By the way, it only took us 30 to 40 min to get Zhou Zhuang.  But there once a chaos at the bus station of Tong Li and we almost cannot find a seat in the bus……  

Due to the time limitation, we didn’t have enough time to find a good hotel inside the town.  Instead, we found one which is about 100m away from the entrance of the town.  Again the boss there also offered us a pick up from the bus station to the hotel.  But this was really a crazy pick up.  He and another guy rode on the motorcycle to the bus station to pick us up.  When we saw those ugly motorcycles we were really somewhat wordless.  

After all, we had no choice.  So we took what we were offered and thank god they took us safe to the hotel.  At least the drivers were not so crazy……  

When we arrived at our room, it was about 5 pm or so.  So we stayed at the hotel to have a nap and we came out after 8:30 again to search the exciting things inside the ancient town.  Zhou Zhuang didn’t let us down!  I should say that although it is already totally commercialized nowadays but it is still a paradise for its blue flagstone roads, red wooden houses, long and narrow rivers, and the beautiful boats with black roofs.   

This is a paradise for lovers provided that you have enough time to spend there.  And the perfect time to enjoy the local atmosphere there is just at the late evening and the early morning.  This time, we didn’t enter into any tourist attractions.  We just walked through the roads which connected us to the mysteries of N thousands of years ago.  At last, we were a little bit confused that were we still in the 21^st century?  This night I will never delete from my memory.  And we got the same opinion that if you would like to have honey moon somewhere in the southern part of China, Zhou Zhuang will definitely be the top 1 place on your list. 

Before we leave Zhou Zhuang to SH airport, we went to the most famous tea house in Zhou Zhuang named San Mao Tea House.  We sat there for 3 to 4 hours and reading the novels written by the boss of this tea house whose another identity is a famous writer in this Jiang Su province.  It is the best day of this 4-day holiday.  I love this feeling so much-----sitting on the second floor of the tea house besides the window.  Outside the window is one small river.  You read a book written all local stories and taste the tea for a whole day.  I don’t need to think something or do something, just enjoy the moment and engage myself fully into the local daily life.  I finally have a chance to relax myself and stay statue without any crazy orders or responsibilities.  I really hate to even think about leaving here and come back to the daily routine life at BJ.  If time could pause for a while, and If this holiday could be longer, and if if if……   

My life is full of “if”.  There is one “if ” after another.  But if there is a “if”……However, we need to face life without hesitation.  I might be able to pause my life but I couldn’t stop it anyway!  A friend of mine told me once that my life is just a joke.  Yeah~ I mean it could be and might be.  Anyway who cares, at least I am not a tragedy!  A joke, sounds not too bad, so let’s just let this joke continue and see what happens next~

“人生就是一个童话，充满了流浪的艰辛和执着追求的曲折，我的一生居无定所，我的心灵漂泊无依，童话是我流浪一生的阿拉丁神灯。”----- By Hans Christian Andersen

在脆弱的时候，你会想做什么？

人的情绪本来就是飘忽的，所以经常有些莫名的情愫，扰得你心神不宁。

在我们年轻的灵魂中，有多少次被这种情愫抓住？

在高唱着我们为我们而活的日子里，又有多少次被那种无力感所捕获？

在自问与自答中，在徘徊与迷茫中，在深水若寒的彻痛起伏中，那茫然若失的点点滴滴幻化成一滴泪。

静静地，用双手遮住自己双眼，冷却之后，前进。

多少次你是这样努力地鼓励着自己？

成长了，不代表泪水就应该随着真心一起被埋藏在虚伪冷酷的外表之下。

流泪，是因为你没有丢失那曾经的感动。

如果你想呐喊，如果你想痛哭，如果你想流泪，

那都是，你在努力维护着的，我们真正的自我。

无论世界如何背叛，无论周遭如何喧闹，

我永远可以看清你们的真心，

因为，在青春的岁月中，我与你们一起飞舞。

赶在夜幕吞噬前的一瞬间
记忆点燃一只烟
点燃一支烟
想想最后谁还会在谁身边
会是谁谁谁
还会不会
那些爱过的人 伤过的人 哭过的人 恨过的人
在哪里
一路上还有多少雨水泪水等我去回忆

 
有时世界仿佛只剩一半
有些骄傲随着时间溜走被冲淡
有人站在旷野独自呼喊
有些忧伤不知何时会消散
有人站在心里停滞不前
有人站在原地等着一切再出现
是我的爱情 自我欺骗
像是昨天
像是那昨天

 
是否
曾和某人在某个时间
牵着手幻想明天
谁也不改变
对着天空说一定要爱很远
到现在是谁忘了当初的勇敢
那些爱过的人 伤过的人 哭过的人 恨过的人
在哪里
一路上还有多少雨水泪水等我去回忆

－－－－－引自自游乐队“爱像是昨天”

本想写些激励的话，当作礼物送给你们，但是觉得虚伪的东西，还是留给他人，把真实的情感表达出来才是最重要的。

无论怎样，我希望你们能好起来！

还有：生日快乐！
