    春天的期望

    游历在香港和新加坡多年，我几乎忘记了什么是真正的春天。也正因为有这十个年头的铺垫，我才能在今天仔细品味这久违的春的感觉。今天一大早，我抵不住蓝天白云的诱惑，向老公宣布，本人要享受一下做上班族时的梦境———我要出门踏春去。

    上海的春天来的快，老天爷神经质地忽冷忽热了一个多月后，气温急速回升，地气也跟着上扬。大街溜哒着的老少爷们，姑娘媳妇们的脸上也增添了几分桃花的粉红。春雨沁透了他们忙碌的心绪，春风撩拨着他们麻木的情怀，春花呼唤着他们寂寞的灵魂。活在春天里的人们是真正‘活着’的，因为春真得很温暖，春真得很消魂。原来我一直搞不清楚，香港和新加坡人的性格中到底缺了点什么。今天我有了答案，他们缺乏对春天的理解和沐浴春风里才有的激情。

    我跟着感觉不知不觉走到了上海美术馆，刚巧碰上了一位早年旅德的中国画家的油画展，受欧洲画派的影响，他的抽象作品很特别，把麻浸在漆里做成的作品叫‘大油彩’；把瓷砖浸在漆里做成的作品起名叫‘信息源’ 。重彩三原色的各种自由组合构成了画展的主题，红色像征着生命，我的感受是：其实生活应该很简单，我们当代所谓的‘物质文明’给人类自己的生活套上了十分复杂化的‘绞索’。

    这让我不觉联想起昨天晚上, 敦敦伏案疾书的英文演讲辞 ‘我期望（I Wish）’，按照敦敦的指示，老公赶在我入睡前读给我听，没想到他期望：人类停止将已经很复杂的现代生活更加复杂化的行为，他凭着少年的敏感和直觉，认为现代生活中，给人们带来生活便利的无数发明创造，最终会将人类引向不归路。他的期望是‘我们人类能像蚂蚁一样自然地生活在蓝天下’。他大声疾呼：我们不但应该减少任何可能污染环境的发明。还应该停止现有的对环境有破坏作用的发明的应用 （de-inventing）。敦敦充满激情的演讲辞让我睡意全消，我和老公品味着孩子春天的期望，如果天下的孩子都有这样的期望，人类就有希望了。

    If I could tell any young person one piece of advice it would be, don't be in a rush to be an adult. There is a period of time we think we are as grown as we will ever be. Some of us thought that as early as 12. When youconsider you might live until you are 80 there is so much time to be an adult and childhood is fleeting.
    Young women, more than men, are looking for the one true love. Enjoy romance, and new love, but don't settle.The person you are at 18 is not the person you'll be at 25 or 30 ect. Enjoy your life. Travel with friends, enjoy having your own space before sharing that space with another. Don't rely on anyone else for your happiness.
    I was married at 17 and a mom at 18. It was so hard! I had no friends anymore because I couldn't come and go. I wasn't mature enough, and I got so depressed. I was in such a hurry. Because I have my beautiful kids, and grandkids I have no regrets, but... I often wonder what if?? What if I had gotten a better education? Would our lives have been easier, less money troubles, more security ect?? I don't wish these thought on anyone.
    Get an education, start a career, and be choosy.

    I am very happy tonight because of a exciting call from one of my true friends. She, a mother of two girls now, was one of the classmates when we were in high school. She is my best friend in my life though now she is working as a mathematic teacher in a very remote county where is far away from our hometown and full of Muslim people. After we left university, we have met each other twice: one was on my wedding ceremony in 2004, and another time wasin the spring festival this year. It was so difficult to meet her this time because she was not able toleave home after delivery.At last Imade a successful phone call toher house. Although thetalk with her was veryshort, wewere quite happy. We are true friends because we were in a boat before when we studied. We are always honest for each other. So I think true friend should be honest and give moreand gain less from the counterpart.

    I admire many people. Charles Darwin, Einstein, Galileo, Jesus..too many to list. I admire their intellect and curiosities to discover and find answers to many things we all seem to take for granted now. I WISH I had the brain capacity they all did!

    Do you believe that we all get a second chance in life like if we already missed our one chance in life for love, will it come around again?

    I didn't even get a break. My heart was constantly pounding from a mixture of nervousness and excitement. Every time he'd enter the room my stomach would get that feeling where you feel like your insides are falling out, much like when riding a wooden rollercoaster. It became evident how much I have been lying to myself over the past several months. Too bad I'm such a coward; otherwise, maybe something would happen. It's not so much the rejection that scares me, as it is the fear of loosing his friendship altogether. I hate being cliche and cheesy, but right now, that's all I've got.

    So, I come home from work and the first thing my husband does is attack me. Here is why. He said he couldnt get online in the bedroom...thats where his computer is. He said the USB ports werent working at all. His computer said it was because someone was blocking them. My husband believes its the neighbors who have some kind of program that is blocking his computer so it cant get online. I said...I dont know if the neighbors have a computer and I dont think they are that computer savvy. He starts yelling at me about it. Saying he is trying to tell me what is wrong and all I keep doing is telling him what it can't be. Geez!

    I'm told someone that I really cared for that I had feelings for him but he must it took it the wrong way cause I haven't heard from him since. It's been almost a week in a half now. I don't mind him not answering back or not having the same feelings back towards me, but the thing that I don't like it gets me really mad is when I call him too see if he was ok cause the way he left he had an emergency. So I called him the day after too see if everything was ok. But he didn't pick up. Actually he didn't pick up until three days later and said he will call me back cause he was busy. I haven't got the call back from him. What am I suppose too think. You know I get this a lot from men even men I don't tell anything too I just speak my mind and it's like I had too stay shut. Well that F***ING BULL SHIT. I'm not going too stay shut for any MAN or WOMEN. My mind is what I have too show the world that and my personality. I'm not going too stay shut anymore. Well if the time is not right I confront later but other then that. It's Bull Shift that men/women play with people's feeling's no one deserves that. They know it to there just F***ing players. Let's just say " People who don't show love too people that give love isn't worth the scum off the bottom of our shoes" Well that's just my Opinion . Everybody is in titled too there own Opinion.
    Just too say it hurts me that he's going too Reunion a good friendship just causehe is a air head and he doesn't know what he want's in life.

    The pain I have is aAgony pain it's mostly my emotions getting too me but I can't let them go Ican't cry. I just have too take this experience and live off it and don't make this same choice I chose too do and tell a guy how I feltabout him.

    But I regret to say I feel that I'm going too run again this was a step forward telling him how I felt, Now I'm taking a step or two back

    1- Have too get too know him really good and not get too close to him.

    2- When I feel something and it's getting strong just trunk and walk the other way and don't look back.

    Witch I really don't want I want to be happy and to be loved...

    Well lets just see what happens it's still early.
