阿昵參加完喜宴從台中前來, 姿樺從台南趕回來, 曉萍在台北當講師剛下課就過來, 雅盈則才從蘇格蘭回來一下飛機還沒回家就先被我們綁架來林口團聚再說. 我這個主人更是從早就開始打理, 先是去家樂福和市場採買"一家子"的食物, 肉, 蔬菜, 水果, 土司, cream cheese, 冰棒...等等, 然後整理一下家裡, 該煮該切的處理一下. 忙完坐在沙發上, 想想自己好像是第一次這樣忙, 畢竟之前一大群朋友或同事來都是下班後叫外賣, 也沒有住宿, 這樣忙到也是挺新鮮的.
在這短短兩天一夜的聚會中我們天南地北的聊, 關心彼此的近況, 而姿樺也帶來以前的照片, 發現我們高一還真是去過蠻多地方玩的, 包括學校的活動, 班上的活動, 和我們自己的活動等等, 那時的我們都還在找自己(這一直都會是進行式吧... :-P), 引用姿樺說的"那時候的我們明明就很年輕, 卻又要裝一副大人樣; 現在的我們是這麼的成熟, 卻又希望自己可以年輕一點", 感謝的是身邊的環境和師長朋友, 我們笑得好開心~ 過去是, 現在也是~
After the stays of my parents, Fareh, and Li-wen, this time four good friends from senior high school came to my place to stay overnight. After the graduation, six of us went to different cities for the studies, but we have kept the tradition of having a breakfast gathering during Chinese New Year each year.
This time it's a very special opportunity for us to get together from everywhere, and not in Tainan. Jenny came from another gathering in Taichung, Tzu-hua came from Tainan, and Hsiao-ping came from Taipei. Nana just landed from Scotland and was picked up directly to Linkou. Absent-minded Ivy totally forgot this event, although the e-mails were flying over just 10 days ago... Since she already came up a plan to make up for this, let's don't blame her too much here... :-P
Although I had few groups of visitors before, we just simply ordered take-outs after the work. This time I started to clean the house, went to the supermarket, and cooked in the morning. I felt like having a big family while buying so much food. It's quite interesting.
During the weekend, we caught up with each other, talked a lot, and laughed a lot. Tzu-hua took some old photos. We played much more than we remembered. There were the school activities, the outings, the summer camps, and the trips arranged by ourselves. We were looking for ourselves. (It's a forever "ing" I think...) The comments Tzu-hua had for these photos were that "We were so young, but pretended to be matured. Now we are matured, but hope we could be younger." ha ha.. thanks for the environment and people around us. We enjoyed our lives so much, and now we do, still. :-)
