皓月广宇

1月：郁闷

元旦：孤独郁闷地过完了第一个在异国他乡的新年，朋友们都去新加坡的city hall看烟火，我独守空房写厦大遗留的4篇期末论文。

1月是个不开心的月份，在NTU选课遇到非常多麻烦；厦大的4篇论文让我天天过着德国时间；感情上更纠结，旧的褪不去、新的进不来、变味之后的友情貌似无法进行下去，而那段友情是我大学里面最care的。总之，08年开了一个不好的头。疲惫，伤心，怨怒，郁闷就是那时我心情的写照。

2月：桃花源 + 马来西亚

新生活渐渐步入正规，开始喜欢上NTU和新加坡。虽然课程很紧张，各种social的活动很多，但是我在一个周围没有人认识我的桃花源里做着真实的自己。不用再违心地学习自己不喜欢的课程，不用再被迫参加自己不喜欢的活动，不用被别人的expectation束缚着，我活的很真实很自我很开心，活在自己的童话里。

学期中recess week的时候去了马来西亚，马六甲＋吉隆坡＋云顶。第一次住五星级宾馆; 第一次做一个背包客，穿梭在异国的土地上。

3月：新感情

最大的事件莫过于开始了一段自己都觉得不可思议的感情。虽然之前也是犹豫了很久，但最后我还是决定选择follow my gut。如果是以前，我会非常理性的告诉自己：两个人离得太远，这是不现实的。但是在童话的世界呆久了，我开始相信生活中的随性随缘和出其不意。

4月：考试 + 泰国

学期临尾，复习考试，学分转回来不需要等成绩，但是我还是给自己设定拿全A的目标（可惜，最后有一门因为自己考试时太马虎拿了B）。于是生活变得简单起来，study room + coffee + test books + notes. 当然还是要每个星期六做义工，陪小朋友玩，被他们bully…这里一定要提那群死崽子！因为some of them实在太气人，把我欺负地不行。让我对养小孩子都失去了信心。

 4月24号下午到的泰国，很清楚地记得那一天是因为上午我还坐在考场考最后一门试。交了卷子就直冲机场！泰国是目前我到过的地方中最好玩的，high recommend! 这一次是真真正正的自助旅行，淋漓尽致地体验到了自由和新鲜。我儿时的梦想——吃遍天下美味，看尽人间美景——已经开始启航了！

5月份：farewell + 回归 + 圣火与地震

5月初的每天的日程就是各种farewell parties, 一群疯狂的交换生疯狂地想在不属于自己的地盘上留下属于自己的印记。玩闹，畅饮，拥抱，送别，互相说好之后去对方的国家或城市看望对方并再拥抱。我爱这些可能一辈子都见不到几次的朋友，是他们让我觉得自己不仅是个大连人，厦门学生，更是在被各城市和各国家朋友挂念惦记的中国人和世界学生。

5月11号回到厦门，熟悉又陌生的城市。小别让我觉得和朋友们更亲，但同时也伤心地看到和其他一些人更远了。生活又回复平常，又要带着kind of mask继续生存和竞争。

11号回厦门本来是要12号高高兴兴地迎奥运圣火，结果却迎来了一场震撼了全中国和全世界的地震。我的心难过的不行，每天盯着增长的casualties，默默为那些亡灵祷告。以前，总是批评中国人不团结，但是08年每每国难当头时，我看到的都是中国人最团结的一面，感激自己的中国人并祝福在地震中遇难的同胞家属。

6月份：突击考试 + 武夷山

回来之后，为了补上落下的学分，我在3个星期学了一个学期的7们课并一起参加了期末考试。SP来厦门看我，又一次一起旅行，难忘武夷山的山清水秀，和漂流上与导游小伙的疯狂的水战~~ 用大连话总结一下：血受！

7月份：享受简单与任性

翘掉小学期回家。放弃了保研，放弃了IBM的实习，放弃了考GMAT的想法，一心在家享受大学最后一个暑假。连自己都惊讶于自己的变化，曾经我可是那种一个假期和节日都不能浪费的人。

为了完成暑假的实习任务，去了一家贸易公司实习了几天，实在无法忍受tyrannic的私营小老板猪八戒，跟他大吵一架走人。这更加坚定了我要去外企的想法。想起那个死人，我就来气，玛丽隔壁。

8月份：日语

为了去日本走丢了不饿死，开始捡起日语学习。从小就被老妈抓着学日语，结果到现在日语水平还是初级上册第一课+几首日语歌(汗)。

9月份：日本 + 新加坡again + 找工作

日本之旅极大改变了我对日本和日本人的印象。老百姓们总是会被政治左右。但是平心而论，中国的经济可以赶超日本，但日本人的delicacy+politeness+commitment，中国人需要几辈人来学习和赶超呢？我们这一辈觉得随地吐口痰是洒脱，是不是我们的下一辈也会模仿我们呢？

回到厦门紧接着又去了新加坡。与SP在机场相见，分外亲切。

上大学之前就打算本科后出国接着读书。后来开学回到厦门开始正式找工作之旅。

10月-12月：和buddy们并肩作战

大四这半年来，最大的收获不是offer, 不是更加成熟，而是认识了一群志同道合的朋友。蔡玉娇，郭晓洁，张澄钦，胡晓，刘伟，张映京，韩茜，唐洁，贺俐，郭宏斌，廖玉崧，刘恬，左近全，王维标，余鹏，郑娟娟，姚宏庆，龚一清，刘茜，胡雯婷，…一起哭一起笑，一起奋斗，一起玩耍。虽然只有2个月的时间，但我们是一起走过长征的一辈子的战友，那激情燃烧的岁月中共患难的友情是我一辈子的财富。谢谢大家的陪伴。

12月11-15日的安利精英训练营是这个冬天的最大惊喜。之前还一直纠结与安利和联合利华。毕竟联合利华是我投入精力最多准备最认真的面试，放弃了真的很可惜。这里还要感谢思维，澄钦，宏斌和玉崧夫妇帮我模面~ 但是从训练营出来，我很庆幸自己的选择，因为我收获了43份友谊和我们之间沉甸甸的心灵契约。

12月22日收到Amway的offer，实现了自己的外企管培梦,待遇也不错，够我在广州过上小资生活~~ 本来应该庆祝的，但是很多我很喜欢的人都没有收到offer，心里很难过。事情总是没有完美的。这5天的短暂旅程会让我一辈子和那42颗心连在一起。尤其是我所在的黄队，史上最黄的队~ 小瀛，冠男，云珊，李博，唐峰，秀彬，玉婷，周帷，阳硕，永远记得我们之间的约定：相约广州，互作三陪！

12月26日，把两方还给了中国银行，正式结束找工作的旅程。心里很感谢中行的HR谭姐，感谢中行不追究我任何责任，以后去广州会成为中行的客户滴~

12月31日，我终于磨磨唧唧把这篇流水账写完了。祝大家新年快乐！

首先感谢老妈子，在22年前的11月12日受尽折磨把我弄出来~~么么~~

今年的生日真是过的相当充实和开心~~晚上12点开始，手机就一直在震，看着大家的短信祝福，心里很暖，很暖。谢谢大家~~

早上正准备在语言学的课上大睡一觉的时候，接到左兄的电话，说在BBS上看见我进了中国银行的下一面。心里骂了一句：中行不知道有人辛苦地要上课点名不能上网看BBS么。。但还是满心欢喜的冲出教室会去换衣，毕竟可以名正言顺把课都翘掉了~~ 这里还要感谢左兄呀，要不是那个电话，可能我就去中国银行失之交臂了~~左兄的大恩大德，小女子铭记在心啦~~

在面试之前，还接到SP同学订的花，大喜~~面试时都喜气洋洋的。谢谢SP的花呦~~

上午面完，回来跟Mark--俺的BFF[Best Friend Forever]一起吃了个饭。两个人吃buffet 吃到不能动~~ 正晕晕乎乎回寝室的时候，又收到中行的短信，进了下一面~~心想：他们总算知道用点现代化的交通工具通知了~~

 下午群面，和一群研究生的GGJJ们PK，可怜就我一个非经管类的小本坐在那里，我就安慰自己，虽然咱是小本，咱也是双学位的小本~~

面完之后，累死累活地爬回寝室，惊喜地发现发现桌子上放了一个蛋糕~~原来是猫和小聃给我订的~~心里一阵感动~~谢谢猫和小聃啦！！于是收拾了一下房间，插上门，6个女生就行动起来，吹蜡烛+许愿+大吃蛋糕~~ 每次过生日，要许什么愿望都要想半天，今年的愿望直截了当——愿所有的好朋友都拿到心仪的公司或学校的offer！！ 

晚上有两个宣讲会，两个莫名其妙的公司。。替完简历之后正想着去哪里，就见两个闺密“神神秘秘、鬼鬼祟祟”的样子，在我的拷问之下得知，原来他们也为我订了蛋糕，哇，心里又被大感动了一次，谢谢玉娇，晓洁，映京兄（和他的自行车~），左兄，晓晓和刘伟~~谢谢你们给我订那么Q的蛋糕（虽然我保留我像那个东西的意见^^). 于是，我在大家此起彼伏的生日歌声中（6个人有6个调^^），又把下午许的愿又许了一遍，把插在小猪尾巴上的蜡烛吹灭了~~

就在大家高谈阔论的时候，接到赫威的电话，说我和晓洁进中行的终面了，心里又乐开了花，今天真是个好日子！！

今天上午已经和中国银行广州分行签了两方。也算给今年的生日画上一个圆满的句号~~有这么多人关心我温暖我，真的觉得自己是个上天宠爱的孩子，希望大家也都开心幸福。

最后，送给所有还在为人生奋斗的朋友们一句话，是从我闺密那里学来的：

 相信自己，信任朋友

我不是故意要写英文的。无奈被日语系的人逼着写了一篇英文的report，

而且又很懒得再写游记。所以先拿这篇凑合一下吧~~照片附了几个中文，还没懒到家~~

大家要是去日本玩的话，可以直接contact me for tips 喽~~

 （不过首先要为我的懒申辩一下！因为有时懒一下也是可以救命的！

  前几天就看了三鹿婴儿奶粉的丑闻，把那么多可怜的小婴儿搞成那样。。

  今天接到老妈的sms说别喝我带到厦门的那带婴儿奶粉（唉。。我喝得是婴儿奶粉和中老年麦片）

  我才恍然打开柜子，发现里面赫然躺着一带婴儿奶粉

  正是因为最近一直很懒得打热水。。

  真是福大命大。

  懒人有后福丫！！）

The learning trip to Japan was really an enriching programme for me in terms of cultural immersion within our neighbouring country. I would love to share some issues that most impressed me and my fellow students.

λ        Awesome Customer services

The first and the most impressive characteristics of Japanese society are the politeness and decency. The unexpected high standard of customer services had started to surprise and impress me as soon as I boarded the All Nippon Airways (ANA) plane. I still remember the warmest smiles and services with which the ANA hostesses welcomed us. Whenever I had any request, they all responded politely and quickly. It just seemed like it was really their pleasure to serve the passengers.

  山崎

Here is an illustration: that when I was reading a language book to learn some Japanese, a lovely hostess (I only know her surname is 山崎) came to me and knelt by my side, asking me if I was learning Japanese. I replied to her with one of the few Japanese sentences I had prepared for an “emergency”, “日本語があんまりできません(I can only speak a little Japanese)”. “大丈夫(good enough)” she replied with charm. The sweet smile on her face made me feel that she was really thinking in that way. Obviously my Japanese is far from “大丈夫”, though. I shook my head and said “まだまだです”, but I was overwhelmed by her smile and lovely compliments.

超级喜欢这个绿色的小盒子！！   很好吃哦！！

The food served on board was also unforgettable, especially compared to Air China (CCA), not to mention other Chinese airlines. ANA and CCA are both members of STAR ALLIANCE, so why are the differences between their services and food so huge, and the difference in price is so little？

 The high standard of service did not end with the flight. It seems that I’d never really had experience of “the customer is king” or “顾客就是上帝” before I came to Japan. Whenever I asked a salesperson about any of their products, they would bow to me first, run to get the stuff and then run back, and introduce them to me patiently with the typical sincere Japanese smile on their face. This impressive attitude towards customers is really lacking in China nowadays.

λ        Boring Food VS Cute girls

外面    里面~

I used to eat a lot of Japanese Sushi in Dalian. But most of the time, I ate sashimi with wasabi. This time in Japan, I had a so-called “便当” many times. I couldn’t get used to it at first. It’s cold and with some tiny little vegetables in it. Therefore, the “便当” inevitably can’t reach my high expectation as a vegetable lover. What made it worse was that most of the meat and potato was fried. People always say that Japanese food is well-balanced and nutritious. I don't feel that way, at least as far as the 便当 is concerned，despite the rich variety in it.

St. Agne’s University did save my wretched stomach and my miserable life, just when I was about to feel disappointed with the Japanese “便当”. We had a great lunch with teachers and students of St. Agne’s University (please see the pictures). It was also a great time. I sat beside two Japanese girls called Azusa Nakano (中野梓沙) and Akari Nishikawa (西川明里), and a Chinese girl 王颖who is studying at St. Agne’s. They couldn’t speak much English, and I hardly understand any Japanese. So the communication among us a mixture of Japanese, English, body language and written Chinese characters, but we still had a lot of fun. 

Japanese girls are super cute and out-going. When we took pictures, they said “抱き合う（互相抱着）” to me. I hadn’t figured out what did they mean, when they were already holding me in a big hug. I love hugs!! After I learned the Japanese words “抱き合う”, I asked every girl who had a picture taken with me “抱き合う”, and they were all very happy and gave me warm and sweet hugs.

λ      Super cheap cosmetics

Food and transportation are very expensive in Japan, but drugs and cosmetics are almost as the same price as food. So I guess the reason that most of the Japanese girls wear heavy make-up on their faces is that the money they spend on a meal can also buy them an eye-liner or a make-up base! Also, nine out of ten Japanese girls have their hair dyed. Cheap prices together with the best service, it is no doubt that Japan is a shopping heaven for girls. Almost all of us girls’ cases were loaded with plenty of cosmetics on the way home.

λ      “Made in Japan”

Another good impression was the delicacy and durability of Japanese products. “Made in Japan” is a guarantee for high-quality. Japanese-brand Electronic products are much cheaper than those on the Chinese market. Things like small knick-knacks, gadgets and hand-made craftworks, and so on are simply amazing!! Many people have told me that Japanese always give themselves the best things in terms that they sell the highest quality products in their domestic market, and export the secondarys. If the products name and type are the same in Japan and overseas, the ingredients or accessories are not the same. I don't know it it’s true, I just told myself “since they’re cheaper than in China, I may as well buy some things had the made in Japan prints on them.”
