結婚紀念日

二○○七年　九月二十八日


時間過得真快，一轉眼，我已經結婚四年了耶～ 單身的時候，已婚的朋友跟我說：妳不要傻了，婚前婚後真的差很多。結婚以後，未婚的朋友則說：看妳這麼幸福的模樣，人家也好想結婚喔！

Time passed so fast, I've been happily married for 4 years. When I was a single, friends who were married said: Don't be silly! It's totally different in life before and after getting married! Now I am married, friends who are single told me they wish to get married for my life after getting married is even more joyful and happy than I was a single.




我該說什麼呢？！其實，婚前婚後真的差很多！老公的工作地點從台南的奇美醫院變成台中的中山醫大，光是空間距離就縮短了將近兩百公里，這樣算差很多吧！

O_o What should I say?! Well, it's indeed different before and after marriage. The distance of Michael and me was shortened from 350 km to 160 km for he quit his job in Tainan Chi-May Medical Center and moved to Taichung Chung-Shan Medical University. Isn't it a BIG difference for us?!

差不多的是我們的生活型態，一週最多三天住在同一個屋簷下；每個週末回公公婆婆家，共享一家人的幸福晚餐。結婚後的生活也依然忙碌精采。我們有各自的朋友與興趣，也有許多共同的朋友與嗜好。不住一起的時候，生活很自在；住在一起的時候，生活很融洽。

I think there was no big difference of our life style before and after getting married. We have 2 or 3 days a week living together. Weekend is the family day, we have dinner time with my parents-in-law every Saturday. While living together, we enjoy and share many things with each other. The other days, we live individually in two cities and have personal life, friends and interests. Living by oneself, life goes on an easy and comfortable way; living together, life is a harmony.




朋友們都會好奇，兩頭獅子一起生活，不會各執己見吵翻天嗎？不會吧～不要忘了，我們可都是有邏輯講道理的研究人員呢。當然會有意見相左的時刻！不過，「愛、信任、尊重」讓我們在表達自己想法的當下，也不曾忘記聆聽對方的見解。所以，有話好說唄～

Friends also are curious when Michael and I have a difference of opinion on something, whether we argue with each other or not. I dare not say "No, we never had a quarrel"; however, I am sure we did not spend time on issues that are not logical or reasonable. Because of love, trust, and respect, the moment we express self opinions, we listen to each other simultaneously.


【後記】我想我是充滿感激的。在感情的路上跌跌撞撞，我不曾因為愛情引起的哭泣或憂傷而不再相信愛情，或失去探索愛情的勇氣，這全都要歸功於家人給我完全的支持與信任吧～已入不惑之年的我，不管別人覺得我天真或孩子氣，我還是要大聲的說：夢想有理，愛情萬歲！

上山下海。二。三貂角燈塔。

September 2007

We certainly were well-prepared for this excursion! After breakfast, we had a good time with cute Hua. At about eleven o'clock, we waved goodbye to Hua's family and started over the trip. Next destination is Sandiao Cape Lighthouse.

這一回我們可是有備而來。吃過美味的活力早餐之後，跟小饅頭又玩了一回。午前時分，我們跟小饅頭一家人揮手說拜拜，重新啟程，前往今天的下一個目的地，三貂角燈塔。
　

三貂角燈塔。簡介。Sandiao Cape Lighthouse．Introduction


We left Sky Coffee and rode along the county freeway #106. Passing through "Ping-Shuang Tunnel", we were then running on a branch of freeway #2 and soon reached the main line of it. I felt like flying along the coast of Taiwan~

從天空咖啡出來，繼續沿著106縣道前行，過了平雙隧道，接上三角標公路2丙，途經貢寮，接上三角標2號公路，以近似飛翔的感覺奔馳在人車稀少的公路上~　


三貂角燈塔。Main building of Sandiao Cape Lighthouse


The sky turned to be cloudy...isn't it just the beginning of autumn? How come the effect of monsoon is so obvious?! Running on freeway along coast, the wind of a slight salty smell blew me up and made me feel as if I were a kite flying against the current of air to the sky~

此時天色稍微轉陰。時序才入秋耶！沒想到東北季風的影響已經這麼明顯。馳騁在濱海公路上，帶有鹽味的海風從耳邊呼呼吹過，腦中閃過古人名句，好個「浩浩乎如馮虛御風，而不知其所止」啊！


小路。通往位於陡峭山壁前的觀景台。
The only way to the viewing platform


It's so strange! On our arrival at Sandiao Cape Lighthouse, except Michael, me and our motorbike V-Star, there was no other visitors! Here showed an extremely good field of vision~

不過老公當然不會不知其所止～我們此行的第二個目的地，三貂角燈塔，到了！好寬廣的視野！不過真奇怪，放眼望去，這裡除了老公、我、勝利小星、燈塔之外，沒有其他遊客耶！雖然頗有「飄飄乎如遺世獨立」之感，不過我可還沒做好「羽化而登仙」的準備。


觀景台在望。Viewing Platform


Before we waved goodbye to the lighthouse, Michael asked me if I felt tired or not. He wished to ride along the coast to Yi-Lan and planned to return to Taipei by freeway #9. Wow~~ Of course I was very excited by Michael's idea! Go~go~go~Let's keep on riding for a blow~

離開三貂角燈塔前，老公問我累不累？如果不累，我們就繼續走濱海公路，到礁溪再接北宜公路回家，如何？哇～不累！不累！兜風可是我的最愛！當下重新啟程，繼續我們的公路飛行～


陪我們一路風塵僕僕的勝利小星。YAMAHA V-Star

We met the bullet train Taroko halfway and had a rush to chase it. Just a few seconds it ran so fast and disappeared from our eyesight.

走著走著，北迴鐵路濱海段出現了。巧遇前往花蓮的太魯閣號，不免跟它比畫了一下，不過只一下下，我們就被遠遠地拋在後頭，最後一節車廂就這樣自眼前消失。


大里天公廟。飛簷與藍天。
Dali Temple．Eaves Fly to the Blue Sky


Near the Dali railway station, there is a famous temple -- Tian-Gong Temple. It means the Master of Heaven in Chinese. We had a short stop here and prayed to GOD for father to make a complete recovery from cancer.

就在北迴鐵路濱海段大里車站附近，我看到香火鼎盛的大里天公廟，二話不說，停車到廟裡拜拜， 祈求天公賜福，助爸爸戰勝病魔。


飛簷像是迎天高舉的雙手。
Flying eaves look like Hands raising toward Sky


Today is a good day for excursion. No trunk, no traffic jams on the way! The weather though was cloudy, yet it did not rain. We met many motorbike riders halfway and waved hello to each other. What surprised me very much are those bicycle riders...to me, riding on freeway #9 is "mission impossible"! However, many bicycle riders were riding along freeway #9...Oh! My H~E~R~O~~

這一次飛行，運氣真不錯！不管北濱還是北宜公路，都沒遇盜恐怖的砂石車。沿路倒是遇到不少，或單槍匹馬，或三五成群的重型機車。最酷的是～我們在北宜公路上，遇到許多腳踏車騎士，臉不紅氣不喘地挑戰九彎十八拐～這這這真是太讓我崇拜啦！
　

上山下海。一。先吃為敬。

September 2007

A weekend of September. Michael and me, we had a date with a cute boy -- Hua. Though I felt sleepy to get up in early morning, yet the sky showed me with its charming blue and awoke me to enjoy it. We got ready efficiently and started a joyful riding~

九月的某個週末，早晨，天朗氣清。雖然愛睏，但不想錯過兜大風的機會，起床、整裝待發，花不到三十分鐘呢！老公跟我說已經跟小饅頭的爸爸約好了，今天要去天空咖啡吃早餐，嗯～很久沒去了，好期待～


鑰匙圈。A Gift for Dear Michael


A good season for excursion~I enjoy riding on the county freeway #106, the scenery is too nice to be true -- feeling that I am visiting somewhere like Utopia and remind me a child song singing the view of hometown, a river in front and hills behind...

秋高氣爽的好季節，走106縣道最合適了！石碇、平溪一帶的風景讓我有走入桃花源的感覺，而且會讓我不自主的哼唱起小時候的歌～「我家門前有小河，後面有山坡…」




平溪印象。Scenery of Ping-Xi Township


It was said the poetic lyrics was a work of a famous writer living in this area. The lyrics describes the scenery of hometown, it is so beautiful as if it was a painting...

還有一首小時候的歌，「看那邊綠樹青山風景真如畫，一彎流水幾枝野花圍著竹籬笆…」，描述的原來也是這一帶的景致呢～


夢幻的紫色野花。A purple Jalapa


I was hungry after one and half hours riding! Hua and his parents were on the way to Sky Coffee. We chose a table and made the order of our breakfasts, enjoyed delicious food and waited for their arrival...soon Hua's family joined us.

天空咖啡屋到了，肚子也餓了！就先來兩份天空的早餐吧！邊吃邊等候小饅頭一家人到來。才吃一半呢！可愛的小饅頭就以有點兒害羞的姿態出現了～四個大人一個小娃娃，好嗨唷～


NO阿伯和Q小華。Michael and Cute Hua


Again, I shot the breakfast served by Sky Coffee! A little bit different combination of the served set. Redbean soup is Michael's favorite sweets! The sandwich is made of HASH BROWN PATTIES~my favorite potato snack!

再秀一次早餐，稍稍不同的組合，紅豆湯好好吃唷～
注意到了嗎？三明治包的是我最愛的炸薯餅！
