C'est LA viE

刚刚看完了宫崎骏的早期代表--龙猫，你一定会觉得不是吧，现在才看！？

哈哈，至少我看了对吧？哈哈，真的很开心，因为我也开始爱上龙猫了！他们真的好可爱，虽然从头到尾都没法过什么声音，也没有很多镜头，但每次出现却能深入民心！

我的脑海依然深深烙印龙猫睡觉的画面，我也好想像小梅那样躺在他那非常松软的肚皮上。。。

还有那可爱的猫巴士真的太酷了，我也好想乘坐哦。。。

宫崎先生的构思是龙猫只能被单纯的小孩看见，那也是如果大人发现了他一定会拿去做什么研究吧？

看到网上一则评论说哈利波特是远远都追不上宫崎骏的动画的，我只能说他们的特点都不一样吧。

因为宫崎骏看似简单的画风，却能沟起我心中的澎湃，看他的动画真的格外舒服，自己的心灵都有种得到安慰的感觉

至于jk rowling也有她才华的一面，毕竟那种天马行空的魔术，不再是我们仅仅认为魔术只是变换扑克牌的小伎俩

最近越来越佩服宫崎先生，这位有才的老叔叔的创意真的很赞，而且他的动画要表达的另一层面是因人而异的

看似简单的故事，要带出来的道理就等观众去想象~

看过龙猫过后，除了觉得龙猫真的很可爱，我也开始在想这种神奇的生命是否存在？

那种乡间小生活，爸爸每次正面的忠言让我慰藉，至少小孩们口中的龙猫，大人听了后应该会说：哪有这种东西？！

可是小梅小月的父母每次都很倾心聆听，而且还不否定小孩的话，真的很好，因为这样那种信任就很实在，小孩会成长的更快乐

所以说龙猫绝对不是小孩看的电影，父母们也应该去看看，不一定是大制作才应该掏出时间去观赏

这种小品，其实更值得我们去看看，再说配合久石让动人心弦的乐曲，龙猫简直是天造之作！

龙猫第一次出现！真的很可爱，应该在搬家吧？哈哈，地上都掉满橡皮果啦。。。我其实还是比较喜欢大龙猫~

刚刚发现龙猫的小梅，我也好想躺在那龙猫上！

小月终于看见龙猫了，还把小梅的伞给了龙猫，龙猫超可爱的，本来只戴一顶荷叶，哈哈，然后他喜欢与滴滴答答在伞上的声音，所以跳了一下，然后

他这样会很开心。。。。哈哈

祈祷橡皮果越长越高！太可爱了！

我也要飞~！

猫巴士啊！会不会存在呢？他很神奇哦，塚森是目前的目的地，可是过后会自行转变，而且他前面的窗口会延伸变成门~ 里面的座位就像猫的毛发一样松软，软绵绵的！猫巴士好像很邪恶，但其实他很善良阿！

哈哈，真的大爱龙猫，大爱宫崎骏！好想去三鹰美术馆！因为龙猫在那里当售票员！嘻嘻

p/s: 龙猫的“真人版”要看吗？也很可爱哦，不过我还是喜欢宫崎骏版的~

还真的有像乜！

今天是宫崎骏日，哈哈，除了看了龙猫外，我也看了他几年前的代表作：千与千寻

明白为什么这部电影会受那么多人喜欢，还有为什么能得到那么多奖了，宫崎爷爷的思维真的很天马行空

最重要的是他拍的影片传达的信息真的令人深思，一部看似简单的动画片，但每个角色的刻画，行为都表达了宫崎爷爷的想法，也让我有所启发

故事女主角，千寻是个很普通，很平凡的女孩，样子也很普通，不像那些漫画的女主角有亮丽随风飘的长发，大大的眼睛

因为父母的关系，她们举家搬迁，往新家的路上在森林里迷失了，但却赫然发现一个小镇

镇上有很丰富的食物，但却没小贩，千寻的父母受不了美食的诱惑，开始大吃大喝，结果却变成了2只大猪

这是镇开始漆黑，千寻找不到回家的路口，也对变成猪的父母不知所措，为了避免她变成动物，白龙救了他，并安排他到锅炉爷爷那里工作

因为有了工作，所以千寻摆脱了被变成动物的际遇，但是却被汤婆婆夺走名字，变成：千

一定要记着自己的名字，忘了名字就回不去了。。。

过程中千差一点就忘了自己的名字，白龙一直不断提醒他，他叫千寻，他必须要救她的爸妈，回去她原来的世界

其实这部电影感觉就像在传达很多讯息，那个小镇就像是社会环境一样，千寻本来只是个单纯的小女孩，什么都不会，但当他开始在汤婆婆的温泉馆时，就像踏入社会一样，他开始遇到各种不同面貌的人，遇到很艰难的事，受过批评，也曾因为他的用心得到赞赏。。。

过程中，可能因为她经历过很多事情，让他忘了他开始工作的初衷，还忘了自己的名字

这不像我们吗？踏入社会的我们怎么可能像以前中学那样纯真？我们遇到了很多各种各样的人，为了生存，我们也开始适应这种复杂的环境，为了谋生，我们开始懂得怎样应对不痛的人，调整我们对人对事的心，所以渐渐的我们为了自己，开始改变对别人的态度，开始忘了以前的自己

就像千寻变成千后，忘了自己的名字一样。。。

套入这个故事在我身上的话，就像我来了纽西兰后，开始用我的英文名。一开始，我还是让别人叫我的原名，但后来发现很多人不会念，也因为听说用英文名字比较容易的到工作的机会，所以开始沿用我的英文名，vivian。

慢慢的，所有人都叫我vivian,没人知道我的原名是什么，甚至没有人再叫我的原名了。。。

记得好几次，当有人问我的原名时，我竟然需要迟疑，当说出自己的原名后，竟然觉得那么陌生。。。而且真实的是，在纽西兰呆了接近4年，我却对我自己呆过20多年的地方感到陌生，忘了大马是怎样的地方。我想我可能和千一样在汤婆婆的温泉馆迷失了自己，忘了当初的初衷

那如果你问我我当时是怎样的一个想法来到这片土地，我会说念书，但如今书念完了，目的是什么？

或许可能是工作，但现在工作有了，那又是什么？我依然不明白，很喜欢这里的环境，但却深知自己不属于这里

现在对大马的陌生是因为我忘了我原来的自己吗？忘了自己的背景，忘了自己从哪里来

没错，我变了。变强了，变好了，变成了vivian，但是我不能忘了本来的自己。并非是要做回以前的自己，变好的自己是很喜欢得，但是不能忘了以前那个有梦想，那个单纯的心。那个跟家人在一起的自己，跟朋友嘻嘻哈哈的自己。

离开以后的千寻虽然已经不是当初的千寻，但是他依然是父母眼中的千寻，他的蜕变让他更快乐，更坚强面对以后会发生的事。因为最重要的是，他知道她叫千寻，他找回了回家的路。

因为曾经有一刻，我忘了，不知道自己是谁，不懂自己在干什么。忘了自己属于哪个地方，虽然现在还是有点迷失，看来我也要找回自己的名字，找回自己。。

感谢亲爱的家人，感谢身边永远记得我的朋友，想起你们，我会回想自己，不会让自己迷失方向，会让自己变得越来越好，但还是当初那个原来的，唯一的我！

everyone is leaving...well, is a common scene at Fonterra, manager left, newbies joined, interns....no one really can ensure they will stay here forever, and people are kinda used to these phenomenon..

Just come back from Orianne and Marinianne 's farewell dinner, the atmosphere was very good, but at the end, I felt a bit upset...

although I am not really close with both of them, but still, they were the first few frenchies I knew.. and they were very kind and friendly

well, I guest I have to take note that: this is usual, and don't take it too serious ey?

All the best to u, Marianne and Orianne! And til the day we met again, take care!

all of us, well, Marianne and her boyfren were not focusing the camera...=P (and oops, not forget, ping is the one who captured this...)

some of the food, I just realized I dint take a photo of all the food we served...

but I did take all the desserts! there were: Marianne's awesome bier pie, sophie's french crepe (really a frech one) with caramel, and guena's yogurt cake!

so a close look of the bier pie! It was so tempting rite? I also have the recipe from Marianne, hehe, and I need to bake it asap, as I told Marianne I would =P

So I finally, eventually bought my soba noodles and sauce from Wellington, and cook my soba tonight!

And I come across that the cool soba is better than the warm one, really love the chewiness and authentic flavor of buckwheat (soba)

I matched this wonderfully made soba with the dry fried tofu and some chinese vege and mushroom, well, should try out the inari sometimes, I think they are perfectly matched for each other!

and never forget the creativeness of japanese for making soba sauce! You don't want miss it!

Is a perfect option for vegetarian, yes and I started my 3 days vegetarian/week mission! Felt healthy and perfect! =)

can u believe? Is snowing in Palmy!!! WEEEEEEEE!

I was complaining there weren't any snow, when Dunedin and Christchurch were covered with white-layered blanket for days!

Finally, yesterday around half pass 4, the first snow fell on Palmy's ground since 1940s....

Ping and I were also wondering if it was snowing during tea time, as the snow was mixed with rain and hail that time, and we were so dissapointed when we discovered it just not snow as it did not set...and Sergey said so, this is NOT SNOW! =(

then, 5 mins later.....WOOOOAH! HOLA, snow is felling apart, first time watching snow fall for more than an hour! I am so happy!  and the snow set!!! Everyone was so excited, and I heard people at Massey were enjoying their snow ball fight and making up their beloved snowman!

Well, I have work to do, and remind myself that I am no longer student, so come on, snow, so?? (although I really do wanna enjoy some snow fight!)

So I left at 5pm, and the snow still falling heavily, the friendly security guard still asked me am I sure I wanna go out? Of cz I do!

snow is good! no matter how cold it is, no matter how soft it is....I dont care, how it fall on my clothes and hair, and melted on my palm! yeah!

and due to the snow, 3 buses refused to pick us up, (well, 3 of us waiting at the bus-stop), so we just watching the snow....luckily the bus-stop is sheltered (indeed, it was too cold...)

Finally, when I hopped up into the 12A bus, the snow flakes were gone, what left were just rain-like snow....and it's all gone after I went out from Pak n Save....and Jessie was wondered why I back so late, cz we missed the chance to take photos in snow....TT well, luckily our backyard ground was covered with a thiny white layer of snow...and see what we've done!

and of cz the Asian style: try to make something different! and proof the history! haha (I wrote it, found my shoes??)

I am hoping the snow continued (at least for a night) so that I am able to view a white world the next day, but well despite of the cold nite, the snow did not seems to be continued, and wat left over just still a thin layer, well better than nothing, so more photoshots!

see the grass, it's suppose all whites (not the football team in nz...=P)

and u can see the flat I am currently staying behind me, guest which one?

the snow had become ice! frost the grass~

 the remained snow on batt st sign, but this is not the street I staying tho...

so this is how the field outside massey looked like this morning after heavy snow yesterday, I am pretty sure those students had so much fun! And do you know, in order to get these photos, I fell off on the stairs at Massey, and still so pain now!

the remained snowman....the shape still quite apparent..

this is what left around noon outside of the window of my office, that's our blue company sign~

Although this August snow is short at Palmy, but to be honest, I felt delighted as it was a miracle for snow at Palmy. Those french interns were so happy too as yesterday, 15th August, was a special public holiday in French, and of cz August, the summer in most countries is so not matched with snow, this was indeed a summer snow!!
