我其实常常经过这巨大、著名、漂亮、辽阔的Hype Park,是在市中心的一个超大的公园,如果在里面骑脚车的话也要花一两个小时才能走遍吧!

抢救月亮脸:
第一招--把舌头伸出来让人转移视线
第二招--开嘴巴拉长轮廓(就是我经常做的动作~要学下来哦!)
第三招--撑大眼睛!撑大鼻子!撑大嘴巴!把五官放大!!

累了,放松脸部,又恢复月亮脸了~悲啊·!


不用紧,我把一切都怪罪于--秋天!!!要知道秋天是一个食欲旺盛的季节啊·~~~~

啊哈哈哈哈啊哈哈哈哈哈·~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

十一月快过完了

过两天就是我在伦敦第五个月了,算一算离我回家的日子快到了,哇哇!!

十一月快过完了,过完十二月2008年就结束了,这真的是梦幻的一年。
上半年我还在每天无聊的上班下班,下半年好像云霄飞车一样高高低低却从未减速,唔哇!我还真的过来站在英国土地上了,接下来还有大心愿要完成--游玩欧洲!今年结束之前我就可以踏前一小步,因为~~~

我圣诞节要去意大利滑雪啦!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!意大利,是欧洲吧?哈哈!!!!!

工作还真的很难找,钱也赚得不够,每天都会担心钱不够用的问题,但是!!
我要努力撑下去,毕竟是我自己选择的,选择来英国,选择去旅游,选择变穷光蛋,选择离开我熟悉的环境、家人、情人、朋友、工作、教友、戏剧。
所以要让自己活得精彩一点!!!!!!!!!!!!!!冷,就让它冷到极限,去雪地体验个够吧!!

我要加油加油,加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油加油!!!!!

呼呼~摄氏五度~Hyde Park Corner

冷啊~摄氏五度还拍照~~

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

我也不知道为什么意外地拍到这张照片,不过我很喜欢~是不是很能表现出寒冷的感觉呢?
看看我的表情,看看我的手套,看看我被风吹得不像样的头发,就知道,冬天快到了。

以前看到别人的照片或电影,在阳光明媚的早晨穿得像裹粽子一样,实在很难想象他们为什么不觉得热,因为对我而言,阳光=炎热。但是现在我知道了,大太阳反而更冷!!!天气好的时候风也相对地大,啊,是冷风呢(咯咯咯咯……)

拍这些照片的时候右手不能戴手套(拍照啦!!),后来右手和脸颊冻僵了,当手伸进背包找手套的时候完全是靠脑袋的记忆去找,因为手指已经麻痹了没什么知觉~呼呼~~

这里是Hyde Park Corner, 在Hyde Park的对面,你也可以说它是一个巨大的交通圈,就在繁忙的马路当中。

Wellington Arch也是在Hype Park Corner 里,基本上好像搬了几次家,在维基查到的:

Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or (originally) the Green Park Arch, is a triumphal arch located to the south of Hyde Park in central London. The arch, and Marble Arch to the north of Hyde Park, were both planned in 1825 by George IV to commemorate Britain's victories in the Napoleonic Wars. The Wellington Arch was also conceived as an outer gateway to Constitution Hill and therefore a grand entrance into central London from the west.

The Wellington Arch was built between 1826-1830 to a design by Decimus Burton. Much of the intended exterior ornamentation was omitted as a cost-saving exercise after the King's overspending on the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, which was underway at the same time. The arch originally stood almost directly opposite Apsley House, a short distance from, and at a right-angles to, its present location.

In 1846 the Arch was selected as a suitable location for a statue of Sir Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, soldier and Prime Minister. The statue by Matthew Cotes Wyatt which eventually crowned the arch was 8.5m high, the largest equestrian figure ever made. It was so enormous that it generated considerable controversy at the time.

In 1882-3, the arch was moved a short distance to its present location on Hyde Park Corner to facilitate a road widening scheme. It is today in the centre of a large traffic island.

The equestrian statue of the Duke was removed to Aldershot at the same time and was eventually replaced, in 1912, by a huge bronze quadriga designed by Adrian Jones. The sculpture depicts the angel of peace descending on the chariot of war. The face of the charioteer leading the quadriga is that of a small boy (actually the son of Lord Michelham, the man who funded the sculpture). The statue is the largest bronze sculpture in Europe.

The arch is hollow inside, and until 1992 housed the second smallest police station in London (the smallest being in Trafalgar Square). Transferred to the ownership of English Heritage in 1999, it is now open to the public and contains three floors of exhibits detailing the history of the arch and some of its uses.

The Royal Artillery Memorial。

The Royal Artillery Memorial is a large stone memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London dedicated to casualties in the British Royal Regiment of Artillery in World War I.

Designed by Charles Sargeant Jagger (1885-1934) and dedicated in 1925, the memorial is in the form of a giant sculpture of a BL 9.2 inch Mk I howitzer upon a large plinth of Portland stone, with stone reliefs depicting the reality of war.

There are four bronze figures of artillery soldiers on the memorial as part of scenes reflecting the reality of war.

还有New Zealand War Memorial和Australian War Memorial ,拍得不好就不放上来了。可以稍微想像这些纪念碑都很大很有分量,草地和树木都好多,所以这个交通圈真的不是普通的大~~~

秋天转眼就要结束了,但Hyde Park Corner的树叶好像不舍得掉落,我幸运的等到了好天气,拍到好像墙纸的秋天黄叶啊~~~~~~*_*(手好僵啊~~~)

这张真的真的好喜欢~~~~小阿八还真争气呢~算你啦~

秋天的树,秋天的我

这些照片和facebook的其实一样,但是做成了slideshow感觉更唯美一点。

我其实想每一张都放大贴在这里的,但是照片太多太多,我大略选一下就已经三十张了,而且还只是树,如果加上云啊、天空啊、有趣的啊……可能就超载了~做人不能这么贪心,其它的照片慢慢再分类放上来。

这些都是我做巴士调查的时候拍的,有时候被派到很山卡拉的地方,等一辆巴士有时会花半小时,而我们也一定要等同一个号码的巴士,等待的过程其实也是工作之一,但在寒冷的秋天一直呆坐在巴士站脸部都僵硬了,当然如果拍拍照活动一下的话就会忘记有多冷了。

在这次的工作认识到两位很好的印度女生,其中一个叫Hemangi的女孩和我特别投契,也碰巧我们经常被安排在一起工作,她第一次看到我疯狂拍照有点吓到,哈哈~~第二次她就很自在的让我拍照了,呵呵~~我们有两次被派到山卡拉的地方,一个叫Ealing Broadway,一个叫Bexleyheath,两次天气都超级棒的!!!所以可以看到漂亮的照片,都是因为我很幸运遇到好天气和朋友,还有我不畏寒冷的自拍精神!!!


Ealing Broadway是一个很安静的住宅区,位于伦敦第三区,所以房子都是单层或双层的,又漂亮又大间,很少看到flat(顺带一提,这里只有house和flat之分,只要和别一家人共用楼梯的就是flat了,没有所谓的apartment、condo)

而Bexleyheath是一个位于伦敦第五区的郊区,我们经过的路线会看到很多很多平原、树林、小山坡,加上现在是秋天,拍出来的照片都好浪漫啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!再一次,我感觉我是到了有四季之分的英国!!我是在马来西亚的另一边耶!!!很明显感觉到咯!!!!好感动啊啊啊啊真的真的~~~~~


还有每次看完我的blog不留言但在msn却很多话来讲的人啊,这样别人会以为这里是废墟的啊,>< 还有还有,做完巴士调查后找到了一份Part-time,勉强能还房租,暂时还死不了,大家放心哦~ 迟点再说part-time的事吧,是关于tossing salad的哦!!

下雪咯!下雪咯!下雪咯!!!!!

一共要重复三次才能表达我的心情!!下雪咯!下雪咯!下雪咯!!!!!

前几天已经很多人告诉我星期天早上6点会下雪,天气预报我从来都是半信半疑,来到英国后才逐渐相信BBC的预测,今天就很雀跃的信任这里的天气预测了!!


今早还在被窝的时候就感觉冷冷的(平常开暖气都会很热,睡觉会热醒),突然想到“雪”,从床上弹起来望出窗外,哇!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



下雪咯!下雪咯!下雪咯!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



想不到原来秋天就会下雪呢!好新奇的感觉,虽然雪不是很多,但是看着真正的雪从天空飘下来好开心啊!!!!再一次,我感觉到我是在英国、一个异乡了!!







当然,因为今天是星期天,我看了一会雪景,就回去睡回笼觉了~

看起来很秋天的靴子

原则上我的bus survey只到星期五就结束了,有可能下星期还会有一个shift,那我就可以得到58镑的bonus!!!所以我希望下星期还是能再继续(至少一班!!至少一班!!)



为了下雨天不会穿着湿透的球鞋,我特地去买了新的靴子,然后和我一起工作愉快的印度女生Hemangi帮我拍了全身照,呵呵~~我告诉她即使我穿了legging还是很冷,她就说其实有些质料会更冷,建议我去买Thermal。结果我们下班后一起逛街找到Thermal Legging了!!第二天我就试穿出门,真的好很多、暖很多~~~~~~~~~谢谢Hemangi~(可惜她不会看中文~)

有朋友真好啊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!我好开心啊啊啊啊~~~
(最近常看九把刀网志,被影响了~哈哈)

  • 新买的靴子,有毛毛~超喜欢,想买靴子就遇着大减价,幸福~
  • A字型大衣,穿了很暖哦,应该能撑到圣诞节
  • 头发长了乱了,但没钱剪,把它们绑起来!
  • 亲爱的笨蛋送我的围巾~
  • 脖子上带着工作证和旅游卡(这里的旅游卡很可爱,名叫Oyster)
  • 右边的铁链连着Oyster Reader,用来scan oyster card的储值,我把它放进口袋了
  • 左手带着厚厚的手套,还是冷透了;抓着的是PDA,记录Oyster Reader 的资料,每输入一个乘客就会直接send回总部,厉害哦
  • 身后是巴士站,挨着的是买巴士票的机器,票价贵的要命,所以来伦敦玩的话记得要先去买Oyster Card(当场买票£2,Oyster Card£0.90)
  • 后面的巴士是像毛毛虫一样长的类型,和双层巴士不太一样,很长的路程通常是毛毛虫巴士
  • 我每上一架巴士就会要make announcement:"Good Afternoon ladies and gentleman, we are conducting a survey on behalf of TFL, transport for london,. Please ready your ticket or bus pass ready to be cheked. "
  • 然后还是要逐一向乘客说:"May I see your ticekt please?"
  • 和伙伴确定在哪一站下车,下车后再等下一班同样号码的巴士
  • 重复六小时,直到整个Route绕了一圈。中间有半小时的休息时间
  • 等车的时候就要和新认识的伙伴谈天,不然会很闷
  • 去了很多我不会花钱去的地区,感觉是免费旅游

哈哈!总结:很好的经验!

两个月后又有一次,会不会再继续??

冬天耶!!!!!!我受得了吗?

冷啊······

冷到进骨头,是我现在的状况。

毕竟我做这个bus survey是需要在室外呆六小时的工作,在巴士上暖和一下,下了车等巴士动辄10-30分钟。忍受冰冷的风,无奈巴士站连些微的风也挡不了。虽然10-14度,说穿厚一点就没事,但是一下雨连鞋子都湿透了,脚冷心冷~~身上的骨头开始痛痛痛,冷到手脚都麻了。


昨天不停的下雨,无奈是12小时的double shift,被风吹得我都神志不清了,我们为数三人的伙伴不断重复着:so bad.... so bad............ really bad..............(weather)


星期五就做完了,努力撑到星期五!努力!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MIND THE GAP

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
伦敦的象征之一,MIND THE GAP

相信我以后离开了伦敦,我还是会记得地铁门开启之前,不断重复播报的: MIND THE GAP

坐地铁的时候很常会想,

列车与月台之间,需要MIND THE GAP。

人与人之间,需要MIND THE GAP吗?


为什么地铁要做一个GAP出来,需要MIND THE GAP,而不是END THE GAP?


和人生雷同的地铁,让列车与月台有空隙,保持安全。
但是保持安全的GAP也会让人不小心发生意外而受伤。

这种GAP又安全又危险。
一点都不实际。

IIND(END) THE GAP。
当然有受伤的风险,但是或许会比现在更好,谁知道呢?

改掉了小瑕疵,好!!

终于提起“奋斗”的力量去把SKII版面的一些小瑕疵给改过来了,感觉顺眼很多呢~



啊?什么?


看不出来我改了些什么??


其实就是很小很小的瑕疵,没有比较的话还真的看不出来~

所以为了不让你们觉得我很龟毛,就不说出来改了哪里咯!!呵呵呵!!

不过现在留言应该很方便了,不相信的话试一试~

短暂的白天生活

最近四点半就天黑了,让我好不习惯。而且一看到天黑就自然觉得肚子饿,想吃东西。这样不好啊~~~~好危险,很容易变胖的。

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

这两个星期都会做一个小兼职,就是巴士市场调查员,时薪很不错,工作也简单轻松,每天都会和不同的人一起工作,也可以免费到很多没去过的地区,上巴士查票,记录进PDA,然后下车,再等同一个号码的巴士,重复做六小时。基本上好像没什么工作的感觉,很多时候都在等巴士、聊天、看风景、吃零食。唯一辛苦的是现在是9-11度的秋天,有时吹大风和下雨,有点冷就是了,不过当上了巴士后又暖和许多,这种工作可惜只有短短两星期啊。

深深体会到在异乡找工的辛苦,我这两份工都是朋友介绍才得到的,其他很多工都没消息(都是餐馆、服饰店),不然就是面试了之后还是等电话(当然等不到,应征的人太多,他们随手就选一个了)。

但是!来英国后终于有第二份设计的工作打来叫我去面试,地点不在伦敦,但是我想去尝试一下也无妨,就是火车费有点贵……但说不定见得成呢??
