周五從Andalusia回來的我，意外地感到精神奕奕，隔天便接著去看了我的第一齣Shakespeare play: ‘Richard III’.我早在好幾個月前就已經訂好票，會去看的原因，純粹是衝著Kevin Spacey是主演的名氣。老實說，我不是他的影迷，對於他到底演過什麼有名的電影也想不出來。只是因為有個朋友大力讚賞過他的舞台劇演出，加上有學生票可以訂（Hooray to Britain’s generosity to students!），便高高興興地訂了stall的票。結果，明明是D排，但Old Vic Theatre的D排卻是舞台前的第一排，哇。

今天終於解決了第二次的board meeting，總算！但是一件事完後總是跟著另外一件事，唉唉，接下來就是等系上的通知、看需不需要出席June defense了（fingers cross and hope for the best）。

非正式地停用了築夢園後，發覺自己越來越沒方法記錄自己的生活。Well，雖然有在使用facebook跟blog，但總覺得不像使用BBS那樣隨性與愜意；前者太過片段（加上我對所謂社群網站的信任危機），而後者似乎又太過正式，感覺得要特意寫些什麼才行。可是我時不時的想寫些東西，以隻字片段的形式，彷彿生活過了，總該有什麼確鑿的證據留下才行（看起來好像渺小人物的某種徒勞，既不會被大歷史記得，卻又渴求著某種存在的證明）。

It is my stage play festival recently; new productions kept coming out with attracting cast to lure me to theatres. After seeing Douglas Henshall appeared in a new version of ‘Betrayal’ on the newspaper (see, it is good to flip through newspaper from time to time!), I cannot wait but writing to my usual play companion immediately, asking the intention of going to see a preview with me in 28th May.

4月29日真是個重大的日子，是的，自從上周五去看'Frankenstein'後，我就不停地倒數日子。沒錯，當全球媒體都在注目著倫敦時，我人也在那兒，懷抱著雀躍不已的心情排在長長隊伍中，等待著入場時刻。

Received a staggering news today, I am fairly surprised, overwhelmed, and still feel a bit unreal, maybe because it is happening on someone who is so close to me. My dear flatmate just told me that she is pregnant this afternoon. PREGANANT! REALLY?! Well, of course it is a normal thing and I should not feel so surprised. But this exciting news just took me out of surprise in so many levels, and that is the moment that I deeply feel that I am still a kid inside myself. For me, marriage and the so-called ‘starting my own family’ are still a far-reaching vague concepts that I see no way to happen in my near future, although I saw some friends and relatives seriously considering marriage, or actually got married, or even already have children for the recent two years. However, these things are just…seems still rather far away from my life, maybe because I am still live my school life and somehow I just found it difficult to connect them together. This is of course a good news, but inevitably it makes me to look at myself and again, to feel pathetic about my poor love life.

Now I have been working there for two weeks. My flatmate asked whether I feel more ease now. I said that it is to a degree, but I still feel nervous in the first couple of phone calls when every time I go to work. Many things happened for the past two weeks; I never thought that there can be so highly dynamic and chaotic for a small restaurant like this. I met some interesting people and received few weird phone calls. For instance, this Friday I got a call ordering ‘dog fried rice’ and I got pissed and seriously considering swearing over the phone (but am I allowed? I wondered.). Last night, a guy called in and placed a big order with a genuine fake foreign assent, which made me feel suspicious. Or like last week, a drunken guy insisted buying two dishes by only paying 5 pounds. Well, it is a fun job, isn’t it (!)

After a long-time of searching and disappointment, I found a job, ya (?) If considered how desperate I was before, I shall be satisfied with the fact that I finally found something regardless what I got. However, never content with what you got is the human nature. Therefore, I somehow feel bitterness about what I have is a waitress in a Chinese restaurant. (As I said to my dear flatmate that, it seems that every Chinese got their first job in a Chinese restaurant.)

This Friday I was in London for an invited dinner for the students who are awarded with government scholarship. I thought since I am going to London, why not go earlier and make the most it, and I did. On the bus to North Station, I even met Helios, who was on his way to Chelmsford for his work replacement job. We had a little chat about the difficulty to find a job here, but anyway, you just need to keep trying.
