Maldives - now you know how the paradise looks like

after short discussion, we just went to the travel agency nearby and booked our sommer holiday this year --> Maldives, this is our destination where I haven't dreamed of for long...
I've heard enough from friends, who have spend their holidays in Maldives, how blue the sky is, how cleanand quiet the sea is..and this time i can see it with my own eyes..finally..
 
We started our travel from Munich -> Dubai -> Mahle, the capital city of Maldives, from there to our island FILITHEYO, the only possible transport equipment was Maldivian Air Taxi (waterplane)... this is the main public means of transportation between Mahle and the most islands...
 
'Maldives' means the pear string on the sea, this name tells the general appearance of this country on the Indian Ocean. And this tells the truth, as I sat in the plane and looked down, thousands of islands seperated in the ocean just like a lot of pearls. No plane is allowed to land direct by the island, so we have to change our transport 500m away from the island. (there's a 3m*3m wood floating in the ocean, they call it 'Filitheyo International Airport' where we changed our transpor) tFrom there we have to take a boat to get closer to our destination...
 
The sea is pure, so clean that you can see 10-15m deep down with your own eyes, the sea changes it's colour from deep blue to light blue like saphire to green like jade and transparent at the end...the colour changes so peacefully and gentle
 
Our Bungalow faces to the sea, one of my favorite is the open shower, no door no roof, very erotic..you can take a shower directly under the palm and sun, but it's more beautiful at night, you can enjoy your shower under a sky full of stars, you can even see the milky way every night...
 
there're 250 guests and 300 service stuff, you get your own waiter from the first day till the end, they know your habit and your predilection, they've prepared your favorite wine and mineral water before you came...that's why they usually earn a good tip after the two-week-service. For the family in Maldives, it's a big luck to have someone in the family who works in one or the other resorts in Maldives, and this person has to take care of the whole family. No woman is allowed to stay overnight on the island, the most service stuff are men, women are only allowed to do some cleaning on the island and have to go back by boat in the evening...
 
Maldives is one of the best places in the world for snorkel, there you can see more than 300 spieces of fish, various jelly fish (I saw even one violet jelly fish), moraine, sharks...we went snorkel almost everyday, we can really get addicted... thousand fish swimming around you, some are brave enough to come quite closer, but the most of them just regard you as normal fish. i felt like a mermaid and spent almost 1 hour under the sea with all the other fishes...parrot fish, napoleon fish, kissing fish, all of them have unblieveable colour, they are gorgeous...
 
Every morning, after breakfast, we did 1-hour-yoga with our Indian Yoga teach, joji in front of the ocean, hear the wind breezing, light waves, you can really purify your mind...
 
Everyday, before dinner, we usually enjoyed a cocktail oder milk shake at the sunset bar and enjoy the great sunset... the sunset bar is around the swimming pool,I usually enjoy a green tea milkshake or a tequila sunrise in the afternoon and go swimming when the sun went slowly down...
Dinner: everyday we spent 2 hours for our gala-dinner, the restaurant changes the theme every 2,3 days and all the cookers have to change their outfit according to the theme. we got typical indian food, maldivian food, italy food, fresh Sushi and Sashimi, Moroccan or turky food...a wide range of desserts, almost no repeat during the whole holidays, fresh ice cream and sorbet, exotic fruit and so so so....
 
maldives is a pearl in the Indian Ocean and a small paradise on the earth, but , I would like to have more action in my next vacation...maybe Egypt??

change changing...it feels good

a long time since i updated my blog last time:
 
i'm graduate (i was allowed to make a speech on my sponsion ceremony, which even made someone cry),
 
i changed my job (global procurement by TCG UNITECH Systemtechnik -Automobile industry, key account for Chinese suppliers),
 
I made a lot of new friends through my new job (they are soooo nice~)
 
i got my own car (o~, Berni is quite jealous already, cos i spend surely more time with 'him' than with 'him'),
 
and i'm one year older... (oooh~ maybe this is the only 'terrible' thing, or maybe not?)
 
my life is full of surprise and hopes, i just enjoy it and love it  
 
and What happened in my surroundings?
 
Someone got merried
 
Someone got a little daugher (so cute~)
 
Someone fall in love
 
Someone bought a new house...
 
I see, everyone is enjoying his/her own life, the most important is,to be happy and live as you like to
 
How are YOU doing, honey?

Innamoramento - Mylene Farmer

Mylene Farmer - Innamoramento

Toi qui n'as pas su me reconna?tre
Ignorant ma vie ce monastère, J'ai
Devant moi, une porte entrouverte
Sur un peut-être
Même s'il me faut recommencer
Toi qui n'as pas cru ma solitude
Ignorant ses cris, ses angles durs, J'ai
Dans le coeur un fil minuscule
Filament de lune
Qui soutient, là, un diamant qui s'use
Mais qui aime
J'n'ai pas choisi de l'être
Mais c'est là, l'Innamoramento
L'amour, la mort peut-être
Mais suspendre le temps pour un mot
Tout se dilate et cède à tout
Et c'est là, l'Innamoramento
Tout son être s'impose à nous
Trouver enfin peut-être un écho

Toi qui n'as pas vu l'autre c?té, de
Ma mémoire aux portes condamnées, J'ai
Tout enfoui, les trésors du passé
Les années blessées
Comprends-tu qu'il me faudra cesser
Moi qui n'ai plus regardé le ciel, J'ai
Devant moi cette porte entrouverte, Mais
L'inconnu a meurtri plus d'un coeur
Et son ame soeur,
On l'espère, on l'attend, on la fuit même
Mais on aime
Fin

wedding - countdown is running 2

婚礼筹备工作第二季:
和中国的喜欢不同,我们这里的人大都喜欢DIY, 婚礼的请帖更是不要说啦,随便买来的请帖别人可是不喜欢的,不过自己做请帖的感觉确实不一样,很有自我的感觉,不用担心和别人撞山,真的漂亮的,很多人会一辈子收藏.
因为前年连续参加了4个BERNI家的婚礼,大多数都是以深红色为基调,因为我们在上海的婚礼准备以传统婚礼为主调,所以红色和金色不可免俗. 在这里的婚礼没有固定的颜色,只是大多数奥地利人都觉得红色比较适合婚礼的感觉. 不想拘泥于传统,我把我们婚礼的主调定为蓝色,一方面我们两个人都很喜欢大海,我喜欢游泳,他喜欢冲浪和KITE-SURFING, 而且蓝色充满幻想,用这个或许再适合不过我们了.
从此,我们的婚礼筹备开始围绕着蓝色慢慢展开...
 
1. 婚礼的主题>
蓝色的大海,我们两个是两片大海里的贝壳, 跨过远途,我们终于在这里相聚, 只有两片原本属于一起的贝壳才能重新重合, 你是不是就是我生命中那另一片贝壳呢?
 
2.请帖的颜色,自然不用说啦,除了蓝色还有其他选择吗?
说到这个,我可是颇为自豪,因为请帖的设计基本上都是我的构思,从采购原料,到内部设计,真地做起来,工作还不少呢,
这里特别要提到的是这些封面上的贝壳是我们专门在泰国采购来的哦!
另外内页左边的那首诗也是我的一个奥地利朋友专门为我们'量身定写'的, 很有收藏意义哦!:

  Unser Hochzeitsgedicht:

  Wie Yin und Yang sich stets umweben,
so wie der Tag die Nacht berührt,
jeder Punkt am Rand der einen Muschelschale
jeden Punkt am Rand der anderen spürt,
so soll das Schicksal uns verschmelzen,
das unser Wege kreuzen ließ,
uns aus der Liebe Perlen formen
und ewig machen, alles dies.

   中文翻译:

 如阴阳互补,
日夜相触,
一半贝壳边缘上的每一点
感觉着另一半边缘上的每一点
让命运将我们融合到一起,是他使我们的人生之路交叉
就让他把我们的爱铸造成珍珠,
并让所有的这一切成为永恒。
 
--- Franz Hinterreiter

wedding- countdown is running 1

好像该是时候在这里写写自己的婚礼了。
时间过得真快,4年半前在机场哭得昏天黑地的场景,好像就在眼前。没有想到自己在奥地利会找到我的Mr.Right.
3年的相处已经刷清了之前谈恋爱的纪录,或许真的命中注定就要和他同在一个屋檐下?
不管怎样6月23号的婚礼已经在一年前就定下了,虽然自己感觉时常有些dizzy,好像是主角还没有入戏的感觉,但是心里还是有一种信念,一种幸福的感觉,相信自己会和他走好接下来的路。
 
接下来几天会慢慢开始介绍我们婚礼筹备的进程和我们在奥地利的婚礼安排,特别是给我的上海好朋友,虽然你们都不在我身边,但是相信你们可以看着这些想象一下我在这里的婚礼,反正在上海的庆祝你们是绝对少不了的拉

蓝颜知己 blue soul mate

时间让情感一点点沉淀
那些未曾留意的改变
情人知己这条界限
到底应该划在哪里
如果这世间真的还有
这样的第四种情感
一封未开启的信
留下多少悬念

蓝颜知己心有灵犀
你解我的心事
我懂你的暗语
蓝颜知己我们的秘密
特别的你总在心里(就算是没有明天没有结果)
不会忘记(都无法放弃)
谁也无法代替

相见不相见已慢慢习惯
那些未曾说出的想念
多么希望这种感觉
闭上双眼瞬间凝结
冷藏保鲜没有期限
只愿到下一个世纪再溶解
要怎么面对这一天
你问的直接
蓝颜知己命中注定
暧昧还是清晰难解它的玄机
蓝颜知己我们的秘密
有种感动记忆都是关于你
这种爱不可代替
brian特地打电话到我家,让我一定要听这首歌,说是很像我和他之间的感情...
很少在第一遍听一首歌的时候就这么注意他的歌词,也许是因为歌名的关系,蓝颜知己...
听这首歌的时候,让我想起了一些人,以前的现在的,当然全都是异性,蓝颜知己毕竟只属于男人
有不少人说我很有男人缘,从小学开始到现在,从中国到欧洲,身边的异性朋友从来没有少过,这对我来说应该也是一种财富吧
但是蓝颜知己呢?儿时的两小无猜不能算是知己,只会陪我疯陪我玩的也不能称得上是知己
与他的关系在恋人和好朋友的狭小夹缝中生存,不能超越上面的界限,却远远超过下面的定义...
 
这一辈子不会碰到几个男人
会为了我的晚礼服陪我的妈妈逛一整天的马路
会下班后特地去菜场为了给我烧他唯一的拿手好菜
会为了我的毕业论文在上班时偷偷为我找资料
会在和我分隔两地的时候每星期给我写信
会在家摆上可爱的蜡烛给我推开门那一霎那的惊喜
...
他们会得意洋洋的对我说,
'除了我女朋友,我可只给你一个人带了礼物哦!'
'除了我女朋友,你可是第一个吃我烧的菜的女孩子哦!'
'这件事除了你可没有其他人知道...'
 
你解我的心事
我懂你的暗语
没有恋人间的诱惑,或许我们的交流才变得更加纯粹, 才更加直接
kisses for you, but only on your cheeks...

写在傍晚的多瑙河

开始收拾行李,其实还有充足的时间,却似乎又有些迫不及待
扔掉很多衣服, 试图给自己在狭窄的空间里找到自由呼吸的地方,
但是在扔掉衣服的同时,是不是也能扔掉所有的烦恼呢?
关上箱子,我毫无目的的走出家门...
 
傍晚的多瑙河让人心醉,最后一抹金色的余辉撒在教堂的尖顶上,两岸绵延的林荫道,让人的视野很难从这金色和绿色的交织中离开。 人们喜欢这里,这也许是linz 最适合散步的地方了,不少年轻人选择在这里渡过一个炎热的夏夜,唱歌,聊天,沙滩排球,picnic,带着心爱得狗狗沿着多瑙河跑上一圈,这里是这个城市唯一能让我自由呼吸的地方。
berni 不在的晚上也会一个人沿着多瑙河nordic walking,插着耳机,眼睛开始慢慢适应这淡金色和翠绿色的耀眼,空气中混杂着多瑙河和山的味道,复杂的味道,很难形容,却觉得身体开始慢慢的渗进周围的空气,自由的开始呼吸起来,脑子里很空,忘记了supply chain management, logistic planing, diploma thesis...
在上海的时候很少觉得无聊,就算没有事情可以做,但仍在快乐着,在这里,虽然朋友也很多,工作和学习也很顺利,维也纳,萨尔斯堡,巴黎,罗马,赛维利亚,柏林的旅行也让我提前实现了不少大学时的愿望,那个爱我的也已经给了我终身的承诺,但是有时候仍有莫名的无聊,不知道自己想要什么,要干什么。
 
时常想起上海的朋友们,想念和他们在上海所做的一切,想念学生时代,对上海的留恋很难割舍,家人和朋友在交替着扮演其中的主角,不过快了,忍耐了1年半后终于快要回家了,到时候能不能又见到亲爱得你们呢?
