My Christmas in Sydney

xmas for blog 2.jpg
* Very Christmans style photo. Me and my girl friens.

I had a big dinner with many Taiwanese and Koreans in the Chirstmas eve. Then I went to pub for dancing with my girl friends. This's the first time I went to pub in Sydney. The pub called "Three Wise Monkey", it was very crowded. There's a live band in the pub, everyone enjoyed the night and danced with his style. Even I was a bad dancer, I enjoyed the atmosphere. The music was too loudy, you needed to yell when you talked to someone.
When we went out for another pub, two guys with dark brown skins said they liked me and invited me to go to another pub. I just smiled and said Merry Christmas to them. It's too dangerous to go out with strangers. Again, I don't understand why I always attract people with dark brown or black skin in Oz ( You can read try me post in my blog). Maybe this is because I have very brown skin. In Taiwan, many people ask me if I am the Taiwanese aborigine because of my skin color and big eyes. Someday I did shopping in Sydney, a stranger(Thai man) talked to me and asked me if I am a Thai as well. Do I really look like Thai woman or woman comes from the Middle East?

After the pub, me and some Taiwanese girls went back to my sharehouse, we played the card game and drank beer until 4:00 am. In my sharehouse, my sharemates held a X'mas and birthday party as well, the party finished at 5 am in the morning. Sydney was really sleepless city at Christmas Eve.

Btw, I got the $50 cash in my hotel's Christmas Lucky draw. Haha... How lucky I am recently.

雪梨生活紀事

bird in Hyde Park_Sydney.jpg
*海德公園內之可愛怪鳥,請注意它的嘴巴走厚唇風格 (Strange bird in Hyde Park. Take look at its funny beak.)

為了留學,選擇了雪梨當成基地,打算花三個月進行申請學校事宜,沒想到雪梨卻是終站了。
12/15晚上11:30,走出托福的考場,沒有所謂的輕鬆或愉快,心裡清楚即使聽力輕鬆過關,考砸的閱讀+普普之口說和寫作,應該沒辦法考到100分拿到獎學金。所以,接下來一個多月還是得和語言考試奮戰。回台後,1/21考多益+1/27考托福,只祈求三太子保佑,順利過關。考完考試11點半,難得沒有錯亂到東西南北左右分不清(有次考完要把歸還試場櫃子鑰匙,鑰匙在右手,卻伸出左手來還鑰匙)。對街的PUB震耳欲聾的音樂聲,連這頭的我都聽的見,有喝一杯啤酒的衝動。不過,沒有華服相襯,乖乖回家睡覺。

我的室友:兩個日本+六個韓國+一個台灣室友。房間外的陽台,是吸煙區,常有韓國人和日本人在那裡抽煙,在臥室內聽著他們一邊抽煙一邊聊天,有種到底身在澳洲還是亞洲的錯亂感? 我的飯店同事,因為是在洗衣部門,同事都是媽媽級的中年婦女居多,雖然本人向來深得媽媽或老人的喜愛,但下班後的生活真沒辦法建立起交集,畢竟媽媽的重心都嘛在家庭咧。

雪梨是個不夜城,夜晚很美麗,高樓、達令港、雪梨大橋、歌劇院交織出的繁華很令人沉醉,各個PUB中更是擠滿了酒客(澳洲人愛喝酒是無庸置疑地,從早上開始,Bar就有人在喝啤酒...餐廳午餐的餐桌上更是少不了啤酒,喝啤酒跟喝水沒兩樣。太愛喝酒的結果,澳洲有不準在戶外喝酒的法律規定!)。喜歡雪梨的活力,上班族和旅客快速穿梭在街道中,喧鬧聲不斷。喜歡雪梨的寧靜,在海德公園內可輕易地得到喧擾中的安靜,人們恣意躺在草地上看書、聊天、曬太陽。喜歡雪梨的文化氣質,市中心內有大大小小的美術館或藝廊可以讓你逛到腿軟。喜歡雪梨的動感,搭上渡輪半小時內抵達Manly或Bondi海灘,躍上沖浪板等待迎面而來的浪花。

我的雪梨城市生活是沉默。或者說,在澳洲我選擇了沉默。這樣的沉默,和在台北沒什麼兩樣,骨子裡就不是什麼太High的個性,感覺在參與什麼修行之類,好想從修行中畢業。安靜常是我的世界最佳寫照,一直嘗試打破這樣的沉默。極厭惡自身的敏感神經和人群建立了一道牆,看似粗枝大葉卻敏感,和人互動時在小細節中總會看到更深一層的情緒(或者說是人性?),感受到負面情緒時,往往阻隔了更進一步的關係發展,因為不知怎樣和負面情緒繼續交往。幸好在澳洲...這面牆好像越來越薄...相信有一天牆會消失!

寂寞和趨近公式化的生活壓地我透不過氣來時,想逃離雪梨這個城市...但卡在這個不上不下的時間點,又能去哪裡?有時環顧身邊人忙碌而喧鬧的生活,不喜歡也沒辦法營造出黏膩的關係,也不想參與遊戲。追求單純美感和簡單滿足,最簡單的東西,往往最難得到,想堅持我想要的!

沒展開預期澳洲流浪生涯就要回台灣,還很快地要展開另外一個里程,心情變很複雜,雖沒有剛剛收到入學許可時那麼紛亂,卻也還沒有調整好心態如何去面對另外一個國度的生活。可惜即將劃下句點的澳洲旅程,老天(或者是三太子?)幫我安排好下一個起點,我亦期待迎接下即將到來之狂亂義大利求學生活。

旅行或是流浪,只要探索世界的熱情還在,下一個時機點到來時,拎起行囊,隨時可變身成為背包客,我的旅程還會不斷延續著。

Christmas is coming!

*X'mas Underwear in the shopping window. It's so cute!

The Southern Hemisphere is summer now, but it is still cold sometimes. However, this is my first summer X'mas. Christmas is everywehere in Sydney, lots of events, concerts, and decoration. Now I can "feel" how important X'mas for western people. Because everyone is crazy for shopping.
I always like X'mas trees. There are some many beautiful X'mas trees inner city. Most buildings and places have its own Christmas tree.

Almost everyone hold a candle, it looked so beautiful.
Everyone sung X'mas song together, funny experience for me.

There are 10 different Themes.
Each theme is projected by light on the surface of Town Hall building.

After X'mas and New Year, I will quit my job and travel to other places for one or two weeks. I hasn't decided where to go yet. Maybe Fraser island and White Sunnday or someplace else....

PS.I sent out many X'mas cards from Sydney this year. I hadn't written X'mas cards by hands for many years. If you are lucky, you will get an Australian style X'mas card.

淺嚐

伴著夜景、微風和啤酒,酒精催化著迷濛睡意
溫柔撩撥長髮,輕啃耳頸,帶著啤酒苦味的長吻
貪婪填補著寂寞,享受肌膚間溫柔觸碰與陌生親密
褪去戀愛患得患失,好奇勝於期待
游移入薄衫內的誘惑伴隨著慾望邀約
晚安‧今夜只想‧淺嚐

*2nd Dec 2006, Darling Harbor為了迎接聖誕節施放的煙火

度過了週六夜的動感音樂,絢爛煙火,擁擠人群,酒醉喧嘩
熟睡的室友,昏暗的燈光下沉默地閱讀,伴隨著阿妹的歌聲
沉醉在星期天凌晨3:52的平靜
