Spring!

4/1/10 - Today is a beautiful day indeed, we had the perfect weather here to celebrate my first date in the United States...... with my D90.

A stroll with my new toy: library up ahead, a revamped church building functioning as the computing center on the right

Everyone just couldn't wait to get outside to enjoy the heart warming sunshine, after having a cold, rainy, long and gloomy week! Finally, me too have realized why is warm weather so significant here and appreciated this lovely sunny day!

It would also be a perfect day to go swimming at a lake or the sea but too bad, I have access only to the swimming pool here. One odd thing about the pool is that it opens only at 12-2, during lunch hours and 8.30-10 at night. So it is either that you get a stomach illness for eating lunch late or have a freezing swim at night, which I always had, but not tonight, yay spring!

Short swimming class/tips:

1) Hypothesis: You don't avoid the swimming pool because you can't swim! If you don't know how to swim, you have more reasons to go to the pool!

Proof: One year ago when I just started swimming, I couldn't finish one whole lap without embarrassing myself for stopping here and there, gasping for air along the way. But tonight, it was the stranger in the adjacent lane who did that. 

2)Hypothesis: Having cramp is survivable.

Proof: Had my first cramp here tonight, but here I am, still blogging!

3)Hypothesis: You won't get lost in the pool.

Proof: That is apparently true. You'll just end up on the opposite sides of the pool no matter where you swim and how you swim. You'll keep making the same circle, drinking the same water and watching the same scenery, because this is what a pool is, like the repetitive academic life. Nevertheless, swimming is both a good sports and a survival skill!

最后，

茫茫大海

遥遥人海

两只小船

随风流穿

因风而遇

因浪而聚

因缘而叙

因分而惜

时间流转

似远亦近

是风而聚

失风而散

是风，是浪，是时间，还是事实？

啊原来是大嘴鱼把船锚给吃掉了！

季节换了，浪潮变了，实时过了。

船心没了，号角响了，所以该起航啦！

原来啊，

一个人尽然可以在一夜之间就消失不见，

尽管他是多么特别，尽管她是多么独特，

这世界真是无奇不有，还有什么不能发生呢？

昂起头来，扬起帆来，向着目标继续划吧！

有缘的话，绕个半圈，在地球另一端再见！

因为地球是圆的，太阳会一直从东方升起的；永恒不变的救恩在千多年前的今天也已被成就了！

主耶稣说：我来了，是要叫羊（人）得生命，并且得的更丰盛。（约10：10）
