写给小组的一封信亲爱的小组组员,
很高兴今晚看到你们. 看到大家的参与,大家的真实,为小组增添了一丝丝的温馨.
欣赏你们当中的几位, 看见你们珍惜小组,会主动问星期五有没有小组.
盼望你们更加渴慕神的话语,看到大家都很累, 提起精神来查经有时似乎需一大笔力气,哈哈! 不过, 是灵粮哦, 好好享用吧! 加油~
耶稣爱你们, 巴不得你们每次来小组都空空的来, 满满的回去, 更加认识耶稣并祂为我们钉十架的真理.
小组是大家的, 愿大家更爱它, 更鼓励它成为更多人的祝福!
National--friend or foul?Received a letter this morning from studylink:
Dear Esther,
As part of the Budget announcemnet made on 28 May 2009, the Government announced that the Step Up Scholarship and Bonded Merit Scholarship schemes will be disestablished. This means that no new awards will be made.
However, as you have already been awared a Step Up Scholarship..you will continue to be entitled to receive your scholarship, as long as you continue to meet the terms and conditions of your scholarship.
...........
The Government has removed your bond obligations. This means:
-Bond: If you are currently studying to complete the qualification your scholarship has been awarded for, you won't have an obligation to remain in New Zealand once you gain your qualification.
Congratulations for those first year Health-Sciency who's applied this yr instead of waiting to apply next yr after confirming their course. You've made the right choice! Congratulations for those currently bonded. Sorry for those who's yet to enter uni. And lastly, Congratulations to myself..I'll not be bonded. Yay! =D
搞不清KIWI 语那天, 一位今年刚来纽学习的朋友向我诉苦, 她说她很困扰,为什么明明自己的英语没问题,但写起作文来时,虽然内容好,无语法上的错误, 但ASSIGNMENT拿回来时分数偏偏还是比那些"红毛人" KIWI 的低, 也不见得他们的内容比较多要点..
接着,她继续抱怨, 为什么上课时,明明是听得懂教授所讲的; 但跟同学谈话时, 却得努力的捉摸他们在说什么.. 有时他们谈起来哈哈大笑时, 自己却有一种 =.=111 (莫名其妙)的感觉..
我告诉他, 来这里的每个学子,几乎都会面对同样的问题..我想, 这就是部分的"文化冲击"吧?
回想起第一年来纽时, 读中学YEAR 13(相等于FOUNDATION), 身边交的朋友有韩国人,中国人,大马人,斐济印度人,中东人..却没有KIWI..KIWI, 只是"HI, HOW ARE YOU,SEE YA LATER" 的朋友, 想起来,还真奇怪..??记得还没出国前, 朋友还笑我会不会搭上KIWI GUY? 哈哈! 相比起8岁在北帕上小学时, KIWI朋友多的是.. 奇怪?!
身处在另一个地方,就有另一种文化. 不管你喜不喜欢, 不管你的COURSE里有多少华人, 不管你是否是跟和自己同样文化的人FLATTING, 你来到了纽西兰, 就是生活在纽的文化里, 是脱离不了的..不管你是在学校,在超市,看电视... 我想, 要尽快让自己适应, 唯一的办法就是多和KIWI交际,多留意身边所发生的事情, 之后慢慢就会更了解,更习惯了..学些KIWI SLANG, 也是很有帮助的, 还有,学看SHORTLAND STREET, 虽然很闷..=D
学习另一种文化,是一种学问, 也是一种艺术. 越小开始学越快能掌握, 可能小时学东西比较快?对人也比较单纯?
咦?怎么扯到文化这里来了? 哈
ANYWAY.....
我安慰她说, 英语是他们的母语,不管是写是说起来肯定是会比起我们这些亚洲人自然的多, 句子通顺,不象我们这么呆板, 死跟着英语课本所教的应用IDIOMS, SENTENCE CONNECTORS 等.(用得不一定不恰当, 但是却少了表达能力,说服感) 才来5个月,面对这种问题,是非常能理解的; 今年是我第4年在纽, 还在这方面学习.. 大家一起加油吧! 哈哈!
最后,重要一句:
习惯就好.... ^^ 生病记最近,病倒了.. 昨天,当大伙儿们都在兴高采烈的在楼上玩PICTIONARY时,我则躺在拉到颈项的被窝里疗病..=(
给自己量了体温: 38.4度, 心跳: 110, 血压:125/70(正常), 证实身体的免疫系统在 “打战”-----发烧了.. 一路来很少会有的头痛也找上门来了..鼻塞,又睡不好,崇拜也提不起精神来.. 心不甘情不愿的吞下了两粒 “班那度”, 至少3年没吃那种东西了..超讨厌吃药!!
今年, 似乎是实习一轮就病一轮, 身体开始亮起红灯来了, 告诉自己: 在忙,也要休息的够, 吃的对,水喝多多; 越多东西要去想, 越要学习一天的忧虑一天担; 至于运动嘛..err..那再看吧..=p
生病了,虽然不好受,但也成了一种提醒, 要为每个健康的日子感恩..嘻嘻..
还好啦..是LONG WEEKEND,可以多点休息..=) special remembrance
Rosemary: a symbol of remembrance. ..for a life, once lived to the fullest, and now remembered fondly in the hearts of those loved and touched.. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, For you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Your prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
~Psalms 23~
