忙,不要盲




















自从5月底开始在新公司上班,每天都面对电脑,所以回家后就比较少用laptop,也减少写部落格的时间。一转眼,我在孔子学院已经工作了4个月了!现在,正期待着12月份到台湾观看城城的演唱会!Yeah!It'll definitely be one of the special events for me to look forward to and to keep me motivated at work too! hehe... :)

小玩意


生活中需要一些小玩意儿,让平淡无奇的日子增添些许喜悦、绚丽与惊喜。












茶艺也可以很好玩哦!










来自澳洲的元宝树,外形奇特可爱。

心花绽放 Flowers from the Heart

Attended the first session of Flower Arrangement class (花道初阶班) at 慈济社会教育推广中心 Tzu Chi Continuing Education Centre on 8/7.

很喜欢老师所讲的日本式“天、地、人”插花法,从插花也能看出心情,所以他的教学主题与理念就是“心花”。

Lesson 1 - Basic Techniques (vertical arrangement)(直立插法)

Handle with care - Beware of roses' thorns!

Kelvin 陈德福老师,一名全职花道导师,他强调从心插出一盆花是最美的。


进阶班学员的作品1- 同样的素材,却呈现出截然不同的感觉。

我们初阶班的作品……


If you are interested to attend this course, 8 sessions (2 hours) is $120 (instuctor's standard rate). The cost of flowers and materials for each session is about $20 (you get to keep it). I'm gathering 10 persons to start a new class, held at NTU Alumni Club (near Buona Vista MRT) on Saturday morning 930am-1130am or Thur night 7-9pm. Call or text me to find out more.

茶禅一味 June of Zen (2)


茶艺班所需的基本茶具

连小朋友也来品茶

由余老师先做示范



轮到我们一一上场…… 编号1 茶女- 赵宝莲 (日本梦幻美少女)




编号2 茶女- 陈淑丽(刚柔兼具)

编号3 茶女- 潘怡慧(小心翼翼、似模似样)

还是忍不住笑场……因为之前太做作了,哈哈!


茶艺也是一门艺术,连茶杯的摆设也要讲究45度,才有美感。

编号4 茶女- 潘巧明(品茶经验最丰富)

-- 茶味人生随意过,知足淡泊苦后甜 --

六月禅 June of Zen (1)

猜得出是什么字吗?

佛光山图书馆

被这本书的书名给吸引住了……


6月8日坐落在榜鹅的佛光山由创办人星云大师与纳丹总统主持揭幕仪式,场面盛大。

Joyous June

A very happening June for me, fully-packed with activities during the 1st week.... more to come...:)

> BBQ Gathering with my Crescent buddies baolian, yueying & zhaoqing at Zq's new house (1 June)


> Book Fair @ Suntec City (4 & 6 June) - work+leisure
富有浓浓禅味的慈济摊位

南洋理工大学孔子学院摊位

> 佛光山万人献灯祈福总回向 Refuge & 5 Precepts Ceremony & Dharma Service (6 June)
地点:室内体育馆
场面壮观,万众一心
第一次远距离在本地听星运大师开示,非常感动。
万人献灯的场面,看出佛光山的用心。当晚每个人手握一个莲花灯,点燃心中的那盏无明灯。
这种感觉有别于观看演唱会,温馨中带有一点自我反省的力量。
