柚子

Really, is this what I should be doing?! Writing recipe, thinking of the smell of the wooden cabin by the flowing river in the forest... planning how to boil the yuzu into jam? and listening to Les Mis? In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without himThe world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers
Conclusion: one week to term end!

淡色

I am tired, and I am complaining, I don't want to be writing what I am writing. But I also know I should just work harder, I also know that I will not give up things that are important to me, and the things that I want to achieve. For now, the thoughts of making pies out of bitter seville oranges, while writing postcards and listening to the river flow would just have to be shoved aside.
一早吃早餐、見supervisor、上課,現在很累,但還是要寫,寫了,還是要改,這類文章像計數,好像有一個想法錯了,其他都不成立。ケンブリッジの七週目、誰も疲れて忙しい、そして、春休み旅行話してる。
Illustration by Kitty Crowther, really like her works! That's the forest of text, and this is the forest I want to be in. (pic

黑貓

外の風がとても強い、図書館の外側の風切音のゴウゴウという音が室内まで聞こえた!面白くてちょっと寒かった!章魚さんとアメリカからの友達一緒にコーヒーブレイク。その友達も日本語を勉強した、毎日も復習してる、私ももっと復習が必要かなぁ...ノートを読むと懐かしいなぁ!週末はたくさん文を読んでいでも、まだよいアイデアがなかった,とても心配。どちらがいいの?どうして冬が突然戻ってきた...将来は小さくて静かな部屋がほしい、暇があったら、川と森に行きたい。

河畔的徒然草

陰天的周六早上, 發現了新的最愛。周末午前圖書館已這麼多人,感覺很好呢,雨點下在綠樹、長竿撐到河底去、河上天鵝的打架聲,懸在水上的圖書館內也聽到。大木船上的沙化旁,依然很暖很靜。
不能再看「徒然草」了,但也許會對寫作有用?吉田兼好法師於1330-1333年的隨筆作,環繞無常、死亡、自然美等。
風流とは、満開のさくらを見たり、曇りのない満月を眺めたりすることだと思ってはいけない。雨を見ながら月にあこがれたり、家にこもって過ぎた春を思っ たりするのも、また趣(おもむき)があって風流なことである。さらに言えば、開きかけた花のつぼみや、庭に散りしおれた花びらこそが鑑賞に値する。
天氣好像開始好起來,還有太陽呢。其實陰天才適合讀書啊。要繼續讀書和寫文了。

閒書

忍不住看閒書。印象派畫家、日本文學、十八世紀詩人對和諧的幻想、毛筆與水墨的靈魂..... 怎麼我在圖書館寫文章,卻胡亂「執」了那麼多閒書。
系內有一個好叻的法籍研究生,文章不但寫得好,觀點獨到,而且已出版了四本兒童書,仲係一個好靚女,好正常的人。我們也該努力點,周末好好準備星期一見老師的事,假期把故事寫好。很想知道有關他的事。正在看的書挺好看,右邊圖裹那本。朋友說這裹是 小清新,也是森ガール。本当に森の中に住みたい。

倒影

So tired from the past few days of work, week six, two more weeks of hard work. really want to achieve a lot today as well. After sending my draft to my supervisor yesterday, I freed myself back to beautiful nature, found a new spot next to the river, the sunlight danced in the moving water. can't describe how beautiful that is, (and how well Monet painted water) flowers are blooming everywhere. we found out that there's this unsweetened yoghurt + raspberry and museli in king's college cafe! attended formal hall at Peterhouse, they have a really nice hall, and had a drink with family! Saw the pictures of Snow Matsurii in Hachi, it's so beautiful, especially the snow lantern. 私も行きたい。the reality is - constantly stuck in words, 文字的森林
