拜晚年－Lin Jessie的部落格

終於寫了給大家拜年的信。從聖誕節前要寫拖到現在。今天原本要跟朋友出門晃晃，不過他睡過頭了，所以我就在家慢慢寫信，然後把信寄了出去，開心。最近心情又好到一個不行。放假吧，從高雄回來後就每天跟家人泡。跟外甥外甥女還有姊姊玩psp2的嗶波猴，玩到三更半夜，把我在睡覺的老爸吵醒好幾次。還要做老媽子帶他們去公園玩，炒飯，做外甥做最愛吃的培根干貝卷，烤玉米，煮宵夜，烤麵包，切水果，然後還要洗碗，打掃。累死我了。我絕對不是當家庭主婦的料。今天最後一天假期，天氣超好，可惜朋友睡死了，約十一二點，他睡到下午四點，所以我就跟姊姊去逛街花錢。還去板橋吃我們國中時代到現在屹立不搖的雪冰。晚上還去吃每天都客滿的水蛙碳烤，我覺得還好，不過吃的超飽。我外甥與外甥女也是吃到一個不行。是過年大吃大喝慣了嗎？平常吃不多的兩個小孩今天胃口大開。

過年真的吃的太誇張了，又吃又喝，早上量胖了兩公斤，啊！！！！很高興在我變成大胖子前年假結束了，在夏天來臨前開始好好運動節食吧！

大家好！

恭喜發財！新年快樂。好久沒寫信煩大家了喔！自從我回台灣之後，

不知不覺就過了半年了耶。跌跌撞撞又半年，日子過的真快。回來後先在科見的復興分校教了一個暑假後開始找工作。景氣不好，所以很費了一些功夫，剛開始找不到的時候急得慌，後來還是找到一些補習班的缺，但是時數都不多，一個星期有時候上不到十小時的課，最多一星期要跑四個不同的學校，幸好我住家裡，不用付房租，所以呢吃穿都不愁。慢慢的到最近學生反應還不錯，所以課比較多一點。除了教英文外也教一個丹麥學生中文，男朋友呢？還是沒交半個，靠大家幫忙了，呵呵。

回來後情緒還是起起伏伏，不過有家人跟朋友在身邊，真的是大不同。覺得回來台灣的這半年自己比在澳洲快樂了一百倍以上，有一天突然自己這麼想。在澳洲那段日子也有快樂的時候，不過真的好像魚兒離開水一樣，還是回家好。這幾天走在街上聽到那吵吵鬧鬧的恭喜恭喜恭喜你，覺得很懷念，已經兩年沒在家過年了耶，雖然呢除夕夜冷冷清清的。我老爸跑去打牌，我老弟感冒睡覺，我姐與小孩回宜蘭婆家，我呢只能一個人在家看漫畫。還是覺得很幸福。有一剎那覺得好寂寞喔，可是不都是這樣嗎？在澳洲已經太習慣一個人了，所以呢排解的方法多到可以出書了。

回來半年了，還是很多朋友沒見到，大家忙的忙，我自己呢也是瞎忙。其實我是最閒的人了，看我的部落格跟facebook就知道了。課上的少，所以呢一天到晚去騎車，往海邊跑，曬到黑的發亮，學生熟一點後都問我是不是混血兒，混哪裡？泰國還是菲律賓，呵呵。感謝這些陪我到處玩的同事跟朋友。

玩的差不多也要開始好好想想未來。很喜歡教書，越教越覺得自己很喜歡這份工作，跟學生也都相處的不錯，可是呢，找來找去都是這種算時薪，沒健勞保的工作，自己也很頭痛。念了翻譯口譯後瞭解自己對翻譯是沒耐心的，做口譯呢自己程度可能又不到。到底要做什麼？啊！頭好痛喔。算了，慢慢想吧！

說半天是要感謝大家這一兩年來的照顧，聽我發牢騷，給我鼓勵與支持。自己一路走來不是不辛苦，可是呢有朋友與家人的支持，我覺得自己慢慢有成長了，對事情的處理也好多了。希望大家在新的一年都能平安健康發財，呵呵。有空找我出來吃飯看電影逛街都可以喔。我的電話簿某天被我不小心全部都刪掉了，所以請大家有空給我你們的電話吧！部落格沒變http://linhuiching.spaces.live.com，facebook:http://www.facebook.com/inbox/#/profile.php?id=664473627&ref=name ，還挺好玩的，大家都來加入facebook吧！是一個社交網站。先這樣囉！在這兒像大家拜個晚年。祝大家新的一年健康、平安、如意、賺大錢、中頭彩、工作順利、早生貴子，呵呵，語無倫次了！總之希望一切都好。保持連絡喔！

想念大家的慧卿Jessie

Dear friends,

Happy Chinese New Year! Wow, time just flies. This was meant to be a Christmas greeting but then I was busy, and New Year passed and it's Chinese New Year. In Chinese way of counting the age, I'm 39 now! Oh my goodness. I'm so close to join the middle aged group. And the next thing will be midlife crisis? Somebody help! ha ha. It's ok la. Everyone gets old, not just me. Some of my friends are ahead and soon most of them will join, so I guess I just need to figure out how to adjust to this new phase of life.

It's hard to believe that it's been seven months since I came back from Sydney. I worked at Kojen last summer then found some teaching hours here and there. I really think I spent more time relaxing, having fun than working (just check out my facebook pictures then you'll see, ha ha), which isn't a bad thing but now I think I reach the point that I really need to think about my life, what I really want to do and how I want to live the rest of my life. It's not an easy thing but at least I started to think about it. It might take a long time to figure out but I think it's worth it.

Just want to say thank you so much to all my friends who gave me supports and suggestions when I most needed. I really appreciate your friendship. I think I am doing much better now. The time I spent in Australia gave me a good chance to know myself and accept myself as who I am and also I had some good professional help. But I am so happy to be back to be close to my friends and family. I think I'm 100 times happier than I was in Sydney though I had some good time there too, ha ha.

It's nice that I got to see some friends but still there are a lot of friends I would like to see in the future. Give me a call or send me your number ( I lost my address book) so we can get together and talk about the good old days! ha ha. I'll just need to send this before another year passes by. I hope things are going well with you and 2009 will be a great year for all of us!
