Ik ben begonnen om Nederlands te leren vandaag.

Actually I was stuck with the second Dutch word in the title, so I had to finish it with the google translation.  = =||    However, I am not so sure if the google translation is correct. You know , it is always a disaster when you try to translate between chinese and english with any translation…

I was already aware that it’s difficult to learn Duth in my first class, especially when you have to learn it with the second language.

幸福是什么

幸福就是一杯下午茶
幸福就是他的一个眼神
幸福就是陌生人的一个微笑
幸福就是早上醒来喝杯热豆浆
幸福就是花盆里自己种的小花朵
幸福就是妈妈的饭菜， 爸爸的拥抱
幸福就是淋浴的时候rock and roll
幸福就是骑着单车， 让微风吹着长发
幸福就是背上背包，世界各地到处走走
幸福就是听场演唱会然后再去趟卡拉OK
幸福就是上班不用像沙丁鱼那样挤公交和地铁
幸福就是醉倒在酒吧也不怕，因为有朋友送我回家
幸福就是去电影院看原版电影的时候，下面有中文字幕
……
幸福就是静下心来，不功利更本真地享受现在已经拥有的生活。

追求成功和更好的生活并没有错，因为名利会带来满足感，但是这感觉能持续多久呢？你最终会因为追求过多的幸福而感到不幸福，因为人的欲望是永远满足不了的, 你的灵魂还是会空虚，所以你永远达不到幸福的标准。

也许我们应该做些无用的事, 活得有情趣些, 比如棋琴书画， 哲学艺术，兴趣爱好，那怕是养鸽子斗蛐蛐也能让人感到快乐。这些无用的事可以平衡生活中必有的苦，要知道这世界上不只是升官、发财、成名才能让人感到满足和幸福的。总有一天你要服老退役，这些无用的事也许才是人生中最重要的事。

心不静，幸福永远来不了。让脚步暂停等灵魂跟上，以乐趣战胜焦虑，以平和心态迎来人生新境界。

careless mailman

The careless postman always delivered my neighbour’s letters to my mail box, then I have to give the wrong letters to the right address. I’ve been doing this part-time job for more than one month without any pay and thanks.

At bengining I feel great because it is a good deed, now I am tired of cleaning up his mess due to his mistake and I’m aware it is absolutely unacceptable to work improperly like this . I also get worried about my mails , so I have to do something to stop him mixing up the mail !!!

一年那样长但一生那么短

新的一年,我要缓慢的生活,做无用的事, 在一个个不急于奔向未来的城市里，过那种可以真正称为生活的生活. 至于成功，我看还是免了,因为我不需要那样的人生.

此心安处是吾乡

I finally settled down and have a new home in Eindhoven, and things are getating better.

无目的的美好生活

每次搬家都要扔掉一些东西,  扔掉一些回忆,  好让自己不要负荷太重

可是有时候还是舍不得扔掉一些旧东西

回忆是美好的, 就算它让你感觉辛酸, 但至少它让你感动

我的生活就像浮萍,  但那些回忆却像树根一样牢牢地扎在我的心上

继续向前行吧, 带上那些回忆, 还有那颗勇敢的心

coffee lover

An email was sent out by Elliot to the group, saying “if you can’t stand the FREE brown water and are willing to cough out €5.00. Then we could get ourselves something nice for our new office…” Yeah, it is talking about a new coffee machine, and there are three bottons to vote:

1. Yeah. – Sounds good.

2. No -  I’m Dutch – Let’s discuss the price.

3. No – I’m Scottish – You’ll never get my money.

There should be a 4th option: No. – I’m Asian – I drink tea instead of coffee. hahaaa…
