Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then


Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Ooh, ooh


When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my mama said


Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end 
'Cause I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again


Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear her, mama cryin’ for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I’m prayin’ for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don’t do it usually
But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

 

 

 

 

 

Fusion [n.]

- Physics A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.

 

Anyway, these are nothing but only names. No one knows the future of them: do customers like more fantastic, more harmonious or more massive experiences? Let's see...

 

Things to be evaluated/done:

今天我们开车去了Wurzberg，主要参观了主教宫殿，美茵老桥和玛丽亚要塞。晚上回来大家继续做番茄炒鸡蛋面，外加火腿肠，罐头豆豉鱼和100%纯橙汁，吃得还算蛮不错的！：—)

今天去了Mannheim，行程以购物为主。在WALMART买了一些VICHY化妆品，在主街买了几把瑞士军刀。另外值得一提的是，有一家很不错的中餐自助餐馆，5.5欧一人，还花了2.5欧要了一大杯啤酒，吃得很饱，是我三周以来第一次吃这样的中国餐呢，呵呵。：）

上周末，和刚到德国的两个同事乘火车去了法国东北部阿尔萨斯省位于德国边境的Strasbourg(斯特拉斯堡)。单程换了三次车，一共乘了四列火车，全程三个小时左右，其中从Appenweier到Strasbourg这一趟火车穿越了德法边境。

 

法国给人的感觉和德国的还是有蛮多不同的，最突出的可能是当地人的思想价值观念吧。

Metzingen是名牌服装的加工厂汇集地，在斯图加特附近，上周六和同事们去了一次，买了好多物美价廉的东西，哈哈：）

今天去了Stuttgart（斯图加特），开销要比昨天玩Hieidelberg（海德堡）大得多，光在来回火车票就上花费了40几欧。

 

不过也算是物有所值，我和Brian是典型的暴走族，把火车站附近能够步行的地方全部走了个遍，比较著名的有国王大街、国王大厦、宫殿广场、新宫殿、修道院教堂和席勒广场等等。

 

就先描述这么多，我已经把照片上传了，等空下来再慢慢补充日志吧。

今天和大连SAP Field的同事去Heidelberg（海德堡）玩了。

还是先传了些照片上来吧，有机会的话再补充网志，呵呵：）

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, 'The night is starry
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is starry and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

素描像是这个月初，十月三号黄金周放假时去英国画家Matthew Carr的居所画的，现在还记得那天真是冷啊，我就坐在角落的小凳子上，做着这个近乎抽筋的表情，一撑就从上午九点多熬到下午三点多了。。。当然，中间有过几次休息，也有和他聊聊天，大家都得以放松一下高度紧张的神经。。。令我惊讶的是，在我到外面买面团回来吃时，画家他居然什么也不吃的，只是趴在地上继续又看又描着这幅所谓的“艺术品”。。。真是敬业啊，由衷的敬佩！。。。

 

今天终于收到这幅克隆缩印的素描照片了。。。

 

以下是各人看后的评论：

 

我室友说，看到这个还有那么点认得出是我。。。

 

我同学说，你的嘴巴居然是O型的，有难度。。。

 

我妈妈说，这个明显不是我儿子嘛，丑化了。。。

 

。。。。。。

 

p.s. 认识我的也来说说吧。。。大不了我也就真长这样了。。。呵呵。。。

 

anyway, 这是我第一次被画，不管画得怎样，我都觉得是一次蛮新鲜经历呢，呵呵。。。

 

热烈庆祝复旦大学建校100周年

 

昨天去邯郸本部光华楼前草坪参加了复旦百年校庆晚会，氛围非常不错，不虚此行，永生难忘啊！

 

拍了很多照片，也收集了BBS网友的一些佳作，传到My Photos里去了，大家拍砖吧。

 

 

都没有买到印刷本的，只能看电子版的了：

 

本本真的很不争气哟，关键时刻LCD硬是显示不出东西了，汗。。。害我前两天辛辛苦苦做的自我感觉还挺professional的ppt都白费心血了。。。 唉。。。

 

还好最后的效果还不错，发现我还蛮会讲的，没有ppt，没有稿子，居然讲了近一个小时十五分钟没停过。。。 嘿嘿。。。最难得的是，台下的高三ddmm们精神都还不错，没有听得睡着哦，真给我面子。。。这个要赞一下的！
