『．．．要像徐志摩那麼癡．．．』

最近頑固的YouTube不知為什麼跟我作對，方大哥的MUSIC VIDEO怎麼PO 都沒有用。

好吧，勤勞的朋友們，有空去聽一下Khalil的Live！！

This is one of the most romantic songs I've ever heard.

方大哥！你下一場的演唱會我一定不缺席！

Who's coming with me???

詩人的情人 （click here to watch!)

纏綿是首詩　很容易迷失　
北風的朦朧不減李商隱的精緻
感情是首詩　要懂愛才能知　
我希望像李宗盛一針挑中你心事
別像宋代李清照悽悽慘慘戚戚

我顯為你背誦　每一首情詩　
我願意做你的老師
示範著執子之手如何解釋　
不願為深奧的感情　變白痴
我倆的情事　是一首情詩　
要像徐志摩那麼癡
要像對押韻的堅持　
要成為文學的歷史　
讓我們要多美麗有多美麗

很少人看詩　很少人得知　
擁抱時怎創作接近詩意的手勢
很少人懂詩　很少人情癡　
莎士比亞的十四行詩快沒人認識
可我對你吟頌亦不如煙的往事

我顯為你背誦　每一首情詩　
我願意做你的老師
示範著執子之手如何解釋　
不願為深奧的感情　變白痴
我倆的情事　是一首情詩　
要像徐志摩那麼癡
要像對押韻的堅持　
要載入文學的歷史　
要這段情感動他人名噪一時

讓這一首解構擁抱的詩　
感染這誤解愛情的城市
多少艱澀的美感快消失
可我們是少數的奢侈
我送你情詩就靠著　靈犀一指
走遍世界也能步步成詩　
給寫成故事

我顯為你背誦　每一首情詩　
我願意做你的老師
示範著執子之手如何解釋　
不願為深奧的感情　變白痴
我倆的情事　是一首情詩　
要像徐志摩那麼癡
要像對押韻的堅持　
要載入文學的歷史
閨房的文字只為多情傳世

十天後．．．もう、豆豆先生と呼ばれないないだね！

Last week, my friends and I planned a DAY OUT in Tosu, a nearby town in the neighboring perfecture, Saga. What we had in mind was a carefree afternoon filled with shopping and COLD STONE ice cream... but talk about being spontaneous!

On Monday morning, I got a txt msg from one of my friends, telling me to get ready and pack an extra set of clothing, and be sure to ''wear shorts''.

Beach? Onsen?

My Spontaneous Friend had something else in mind.

We visited the famous LIMESTONE CAVE in Kitakyushu. 

It was probably the most thrilling experience I've had in Japan second to the roller coaster ride I was dragged onto in USJ. 

And the funniest coincidence was, when I was ''half-crawling'' in the cave, trying not to fall into the knee-deep water, I met some familiar faces.

「アッ。豆豆先生！』

My hands were busy clinging on the stone walls surrounding me, and my legs were tangled up, half-frozen in the cold water. I only had time to turn back and flash a nervous smile, and clumsily wave at my two students, looking as scared as I was. I think they were scared for my sake.

「ルシア先生！！豆豆！！』

It was nice to hear my name echoing in the cave and being addressed as the BEAN BEAN Teacher.

This is my friend HIROKO and I, using these bamboo sticks as our canes (being as old and feeble as we are, indeed, we needed extra-assistance on our way up)...

小倉城！

既にお姫様になってしまった。For a moment only, I basked in the royal glory, sitting in this ''Princess Carriage'' from the Edo Period.

I call this picture:『公主優先』

小鳥，不好意思～我先走一步嘍～！

今日、送別会〜！

我在日本的兩位乾媽。

下次回來日本就住她們家，有口福嘍～！

.

我可愛的老師/同事們。

私にとって、先生でもあって、ありがとうございました。

まだまだよ。

接下來的十天，我有預感都會很精采。

我的肚子也要好好的stretch一下，加油貝～！

當了一天Full-Time愛玩的高中生

I never faced this kind of dilemma before.

I really miss CANADA, and am definitely excited to go back, but what am I to do without my amazing job and all the even more amazing people I've met here in JAPAN?

If only I could pack all of them in my luggage home.

I guess I'll just bring back as many good memories as I can. 

Until then... I'm going to enjoy EVERY SINGLE MOMENT spent here in my hometown [in Japan].

Last picture with one of my Jr. High classes. 

Today, a DAY OUT with my 卒業生s, my favourite students from my favourite class.

我應該是世界上最偏心的老師吧。

 

跟學生們一起唱歌的時覺悟到：

我﹣老﹣了。

當我興奮的拿起mike要唱宇多田光的First Love時，我發現當下沒有一個人對這首歌有任何印象。

『聞いたことないの？』

『．．．』

對歐，這首歌是我十五歲的時候瘋狂流行過。

仔細想想，也快有十年了。

．．．．．

十年？！？！

『そうかあ．．．』

我也只好硬著頭皮把這首老掉牙的歌唱完。

''You are always gonna be my love... いつか....''

Next...

BOWLING!

在櫃台付錢時，我被店員算成高中生。

雖然誠實的我馬上糾正他，心裡還是暗中高興了一下。

AND! I actually scored the HIGHEST point.... 

...among the GIRLS team. Hehehehehe. 

But it's quite an improvement from my previous ALL-GUTTERS-RECORD. 

Augustus, aside from CHESS matches we will be holding regularly at home, I suggest that we should brush up our BOWLING skills, too. And of course, in order to beat you, I must re-watch the series in which my husband-to-be stars in.

GOLDEN BOWL!!

''Ohhh.... yeah.''

Walking from the mall to JOYFULL, a Japanese family restaurant at a VERY reasonable price. 

向日葵〜〜！

最近、この花が好きになりました。

マチャミちゃんが撮れもらちゃった。Thank you!!

This is my kawaii student, マチャミ - the tomboy of our class.

She could stuff 80 ebi-sen in her mouth.

Just thought I'd mention it. So far, no one could beat her record.

花火！！！！

これが、日本で最後のかな？

皆、ありがとう！

哇，最近的眼淚很多。

I might get dehydrated...

あと．．．十一日か。

Coming Soon....

Who's going to watch this with me?

諸葛亮，諸葛亮，諸葛亮．．．．．！

やっぱり泣いてしまった！

So.... did everyone behave, and paid extra attention during the last class?

The answer is... NO.

But we still had fun, like we always do.

大家一起作鬼臉～↑↑↑

In the Farewell Messages Booklet I received from this school, a lot of students gave me a very important advice:

『お金をいっぱい貯めて、またカナダから日本に来てください！』

(trans. ''Save a lot of money, and come to Japan again!'')

はい、はい！分かりましたよ！

Following a crazy and fun day at elementary, I had a wonderful time with my good friend Sa-chan. 

And keep 'em rolling.... 

飲み会、送別会、飲んで、食べて、笑って、泣いて、笑って。

「''GOOD''byes」

Goodbyes...!

Recently, I've had my share of 「最後の．．．」s.

Countdown: 20 days. And with all the farewell parties, speeches, packing, last goodbyes... time is going to pass by so fast. And maybe with all the busyness and the hectic schedule I have to cope with for the next two weeks and half will somehow lessen the sadness!! 

My日本のママ

Know how I know we belong in the same 'family'?

We both share the same trait....

SWEET TOOTH!

My Last Lunch with the 二年生s in Jr. High.

Guess who is my favourite student? 

(他私底下的綽號是Teddy Bear. 他的導師很好笑。知道我會到班上一起用餐，特別把我安排在My Teddy Bear的那一桌，也刻意把我的椅子擺在他的左手邊。哈哈...!)

So many goodbyes...

でも、また会うよね！！

予定は、来年の三月に．．．

이별

Summer in Fukuoka is H-O-T...

But despite the heat, my students still have after school club activities - EVERYDAY.

I join from time to time, but I usually just jump in any club I want, and make them take funny pictures with me.

''Let's play catchball!...''

And I said yes. Maybe it was the heat talking. I got myself a baseball game to attend to tomorrow afternoon.

I need SUNSCREEN 50SPF +++++

Lunchtime!

Just a few days left... I'm going to miss these lunchtable chats...

And yesterday, I had the morning at Jr. High, and spent the rest of the afternoon at an elementary. This is what usually happens at a GRADE II ELEMENTARY LUNCH TABLE.

STUFF THAT BREAD!!

(He is SO adorable.)

And no, TA-chan... don't scream with your mouth full....

]

At a farewell party organized by some of my teachers at Jr. High... at my FAVOURITE IZAKAYA!

And this is what I will miss like crazy when I get back to Canada. Bumping into my kids on my way home, and taking crazy pictures like the one below.

りょうちゃん！我們扮的鬼臉也太有默契了。另外一位故意裝酷，其實他才是鬼臉高手。

あと．．．少しだけ。

泣くそう、泣くそう。今日は我慢したけど、金曜日は多分止まらないと思う、涙が。

わ〜〜

Happy Wrinkles が増える気がする

新しいF4 発見！

VS...

The ''other'' F4. 

Our conclusion is, (as thoroughly discussed over coffee in the Shinjuku Starbucks) we beat the boys since we've got a much more varied group - guess who's not Korean here...

So this how students pass time at the famous and repudiated FB (文化服装学院）school in Tokyo.

玩上癮的四個人。照這張的小鳥本人玩的最瘋也最入戲，你說是不是啊？（照片也寄給我吧！）

Ａnticipating Lunchtime... Lining up for food is a custom here in Tokyo. 

At 鼎泰豐 in Tokyo with new friends.

下次見面是明年吧．．．

安太太，加油！我先等你的好消息！

楽しい週末をありがとう！

また顔に皺が出てきたね、小鳥のおかげで。ま、「HAPPY WRINKLES」だから、いいんじゃない？
