Summer days in bloom

记得去年夏天这个时候,，每次打开新加坡同事寄来的FedEx，盒子里总是冒着热气，仿佛快递把新加坡湿热的空气也一起带到了北京。

又是一年盛夏。

很喜欢最近一段时间北京清澈蔚蓝的天空。每天早上灿烂的阳光洒在身上，有种很温暖的感觉。白天办公室里的温度是Forever 21。不忙的时候，泡上一杯红茶，看一看节目，一个小时便匆匆而过。傍晚下班的时候，太阳依旧在烘烤着大地，迟迟不肯离去。

热。心却静如止水。

Bon Vista

My 6-year-old laptop hasn't been working well for a couple of months. Despite all the criticism I heard about Windows vista, I bought this new computer with the new operating system pre-installed. It doesn’t seem so bad. I just need some time to get used to it.

Starting July 1, all PCs sold in China should include a web-filtering software called Green damn. Oops! Sorry, it’s green dam-youth escort. Whatever, maybe I’m over-sensitive about “filtering”. Trust me, I’m old enough to judge what is “healthy” and what is not. But the new rule did hasten my decision to buy a new laptop. It’s a pity I can’t wait for Windows 7 to go on the market.

Now what shall I do with my old laptop? It’s still usable; it just works slowly, like an old man gradually losing his agility. However old it is, I love the rhythmical sound made by the fingertips tapping on the keyboard. It’s been with me for too long to be let go.

Big city, small world

Cloudy. Suddenly feel unsafe without wearing sunglasses. I’m avoiding eye contacts with people different from me. The sunglasses shield the impolite gaze from strangers and the crowds of mingongs staring at urban dwellers with curious eyes.

Just bumped into an old coworker. I thought the chance of running into a friend in a city as enormous as Beijing was zero. But the world turns out to be so small. Yesterday I was chatting with some friends on msn, and I realize they actually are living in every corner of the world. Our communication is amazingly easy.

But right here blogspot remains blocked.
