My mind is on leave today

I attended a general meeting of a NGO last week. Everyone was so excited about the balloting. Watching the people gave their ballots to the nominees and proposed a nomination, I couldn't stop myself from wondering the reason I attend the meeting.

Looking at the people who are newly nominated. What is the difference between these people sitting here and the people in the national election? Are they the people who really put effort to make a change in the community? Are they here to fight for their personal interests or the social welfare? Will they commit and contribute to the community?

I supposed no matter on what cause we work on, we work for humanity, aren't we?

The balloting are just another comedy.

The Time Traveler's Wife~Book Discussion

It's fun to think about the following questions..... Discussion Questions from the Publisher In The Time Traveler's Wife , the characters meet each other at various times during their lifetime. How does the author keep all the timelines in order and "on time"? Although Henry does the time traveling, Clare is equally impacted. How does she cope with his journeys and does she ultimately accept them? How does the writer introduce the reader to the concept of time travel as a realistic occurrence? Does she succeed? Henry's life is disrupted on multiple levels by spontaneous time travel. How does his career as a librarian offset his tumultuous disappearances? Why does that job appeal to Henry?

The Time Traveler's Wife is ultimately an enduring love s

I couldn't have done that if I continue to stay at the office. Too much works and I was doing for the sake of finishing it. 2) I met an American lady at the conference when waiting bus at the drop-off place. Yeah, another American lady... She is lovely and talkative. She works at Hanoi, Vietnam and has been working there for more than 10 years. She told me a lot about her life, from internship at Fiji, studying at Uni Hawaii, working at Thailand, Switzerland, so on ...... and how she met her husband. She said a lady like her, who is so independent and mobilize, would not think of marriage or meeting a guy. Unexpected, she met her husband at Vietnam, who was working there too. The most wonderful part was that her husband came from the same area as she was. Just few years ago,

用一杯咖啡的时间 (spend some time drinking coffee with me)

亲爱的： 我每一天都在期待这段时间。当早晨的太阳洒落在马克砌成的小圆桌时，你拿着咖啡向我走来。我随手接过，然后我和你坐在客厅的角落。你看你的头版，我看我的娱乐版。你说：怎么又看没营养的新闻？ 哪有人天生爱看营养的新闻? 看越多新闻的人，压力就越大，严重影响健康。 然后，我们又沉默了，回到各自的世界去。
