I was thinking about the dream all the way and when the airplane got to Vienne airport for transfer, I thought, oh, my God, the worst part is over. After all the next flight would take just one and a half hour. then one and a half hour later, I got to Lyon airport. I was hilarious. I was not afraid of dying, really, but I did not want to die in other countries, that's why I was paranoid about the dream. Ha. I held in each hand my case and a heavy computer bag containing two computers and walked down the provisional narrow stairs and I was all, oh my God, I did not die! At one point I suddenly lurched aside and lost my balance suddenly. When I was in my sports school, I hated to defend big heavy girls in basketball matches. They could knocked me over without the fouls. That was when I learned to know the feeling of losing balance. And hell how bloody bad the feeling is! I knew I was falling down and rolled down the stairs but I could not control my body, the two bags flung down with me. When I got myself to my feet, nobody was staring. That was even worse than people staring, I tell you. It was my debut of falling down like a drunk, from plane stairs, around civilized white people, not staring, but smirking silently. And I hate that.
Consider that I did not get to the land of France on my foot, but my face landed first. It was all about the bad dream! I just KNEW it! I think it is easier now not to pretend of having the passion of this country, or Europe.
It is drizzling now outside, and I am in a I-don't-give-a-damn kind of mood. Work will start tomorrow and anyway, it will be a fresh start, and a good start too. I know this also.

Beijing's temperature climbs higher and higher, and it might have mounted to the top so far this year by last Friday. I forgot to turn off my air conditioner the previous night. The consequence was: I roasted myself during the lunchtime on Friday for a good two hours, because I was COLD. I was like a zoo attraction among the many sun-umbrellas, sitting by a man-made river, stretching lazily and absorbing greedily as much as the 38℃ sunlight. It didn't occur to me that I might need some medication because, uh? Are you kidding me? I am just COLD. Everybody feels COLD from time to time, right? Until I began to sweat like a fountain. I got my butts off the river bank and got back to my place. I made myself a big bowl of ginger soup with brown sugar in it, which didn't end up helping much. I felt my eyelids as heavy as lead. Without other way, I went to a clinic, and I was tested 38.2℃.
Yaaay, I was hotter than Beijing's hottest weather!
But things happened following that were not that cool...
the clinic room
Mama, I am in pain.
these four bottles are all mine...nice painting on the wall
Thanks to the warm-hearted nurse who didn't give me time to close my eyes by chatting with me non-stop. Grrr! Thanks to my boss who dropped by after work to check if I were still alive.
Thanks to this trip to the clinic that gave me a break and helpped me figure out what I had taken for granted was actually very fragile-health.
What can I say. Just take care, everyone out there.

It was a
week to circle, in the bad way.
A woman
almost knocked me over in the middle of a bridge and she did not
even say 'sorry', I shouted at her like a bad character in a cowboy
movie, 'Do you have a problem?!' In return, the woman shouted back;
louder than I did'Don't you have a problem YOURSELF?' As shocked as
I was, I felt some truth in her words. I lowered my head and kept
walking.
In a
crowded bus, I pushed forward to find myself a seat(I know I was
being selfish but I was WEAK, OK?). A man and a woman in their
forties snapped at me 'STOP pushing me...' Once again, I was a bad
character in a movie. I did not give a shit. Just I replied calmly
'I am JUST pushing, SO WHAT?' They didn't actually kill me.
Civilized society, it is.
Half my groceries were missing one evening when I opened the shared refrigerator. I was holding the knob, wanting to scream my heart out. I was SO PISSED OFF! I want to KILL, the cockroach, that was laughing at me under the fridge.
My parents urged me back to take a job offer in my home town. Yes, a well-paid one but I lost temper before my mother could finish the sentence. The smothering parenting thing! Sometimes I just wish they could leave me alone. I have a life here, although I am not always sure where I am going. But anyway...
It is
definitely not something

It's been a
while since I started keeping a cat. It was a streetcat but I don't
know how long ago she
I've kept
many cats but this one is most interesting one. She has long legs,
a narrow bone structure and big golden eyes. A beautiful creature
indeed. There is no doubt to me that she is a smart cat,

I'd hoped
a
I called the mistress just now to check if everything was under control, because, you know dogs, and she told me she and her husband were out on a holiday now and they brought the dog with them! The reason I gave the dog to them is, they love dogs, they have no kids, a big apartment for the dog to pee and poo around, and, they have a lot of free time to clean up! Qualified enough to deserve a dog like my dog! They even gave him a girl's name 'Ruby'!
God bless them!
