夢の旅 – Farmer Cheung

First and foremost, 恭喜我的b升職加薪(⌒▽⌒) 努力和實力再一次被認可，I am soo happy for u :3 整天都在等b的消息。sms的內容是：”have new business card for you mascara. ” hahaha 話說her的卡片永遠有條黑邊，因為我塗mascara時都借用他的卡片上色 :P

(sorry for not putting in any words in my previous posts. Round the clock I got no time to sit quietly and type my blog..currently on the bus ride from Kofu to Shinjuku)

7:20am !! 當我在床上打這blog時，碌架床搖了兩秒，地上的luggages也搖到有聲。Then I thought..well no one is up there? After confirming with Hay1ey, 原來是magnitude 3.5 earthquake in Tokyo!! First time in my life wah!!

四天的日本山梨農園の旅完了。還有兩天在東京。

The Students…

– LPC 的絆是不分年紀的。我是他們的5th year – 17到19歲的中學生 vs. 23歲的在職人士。但surprisingly完全沒有generation gap。每天都有很多common topic 吹水，一起chor大D，一起無聊大笑唱歌遊戲，一瞬間就變回了LPC的活力學生mode了！好開心呀，衷心希望他們每一個都會快樂成功。
– “You lack the UWC values!”, “This is anti-social behavior!” 。Hay1ey一聲喝止，大家都低頭內疚。我也差點忘掉了的UWC values…
– “Back in F!0ni’s time..” 原來學校也增添了不少rules…and 令人咋舌的legends 還是不絕的。For example for graduation dinner, 一名女生一踏進酒店的ballroom就把衣服全脫光，因為全身畫上body paint!

The Farm…

– 不可能三年兩語去summarize這4天的farming experience。
– 在宏偉的富士山下和陽光的照射下，穿上勞工手套和長靴 9am to 4:30pm peach tree pruning (removing selective parts on the stems to ensure size and quality of peaches), 我以後也不會忘記桃樹的外貌特徵；我以後也會記住，就算是去零下幾度的地方，也要帶足夠的sunscreen。皆因我已經變了一舊黑炭。(可悲是眼鏡部分還是白lud lud 的 orz)
– 園主教懂了我們很多agricultural techniques！ 園主說，when you do something, don’t do it blindly. Always know why you are doing it, the purpose of doing it.
– 原來他的家族generations by generations 已經擁有這4公頃田地。身為大學講師的他決定繼承農業business。呀其實我爺爺也是農夫，親身體驗農夫的「日出而作，日入而息」也不錯，不錯。I am Farmer Cheung too!
– 一同做義工的日本人 (English education major, we learnt a lot of LPC-only English from us XD 和法國人(learnt a few more lines and French accent, je suis belle, tu es beau!!) 也跟我們成為了好朋友，別離一天大家都依依不捨。每天都有搞笑的quote of the day 和 鬥講駄洒落(pun)，super funny XD
– 第一次會以farmer’s perspective 去聽「葡萄成熟時」XDD 其實d歌詞好match架。因為現在是off season，的確要等果實成熟。一邊聽歌一邊開工，各位香港同學都一起爆笑 haha
~ 當初的堅持　現已令你很懷疑　很懷疑
你最尾等到　只有這枯枝
~ 你要靜候　再靜候　就算失收　始終要守
~日後 儘量別教今天的淚白流 留低 擊傷你的石頭 從錯誤裡吸收 也許 豐收 月份尚未到你也得接受
~ 別讓 寂寞害你傷得一夜白頭 誰都心酸過 那個沒有

Anecdotes…
– Yen is so cheap! Went to Shibuya 渋谷109 crazy shopping , it’s great spending my salary to reward myself :)
– When we were about to head back, I realized that one of my shopping bags was gone !!! (with a ~8,000 yen jacket for work in it @@) Super panic, after a long search, I declared ‘certified’ and could only comfort myself that..well then treat it as the price of the free airfee la T.T .. Luckily I finally spotted it at a counter in another shop in the last second !!! Phewwwww
– Was chatting with my Guatemala classmate and he was sharing a book he recently read called ‘Influence’ by Caildini. 問問下先發覺d theory and examples sound so familiar .. 原來係我本 Sloan Managerial Psychology textbook @0@. 我竟然已經唔記得左 hahaha ^^”
– am about to visit a shrine. For the first time I have no idea what I would 求籤 for. Is it a good thing? Am I just content with everything? Or I don’t have any strong will in life already?

(To be continued…)
