WIND BENEATH MY WING - Bette Midler


Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings~

故事未完成 (杨培安 刘虹翎)


只要再給我多一點時間
希望能給你全部的世界
我無法改變 錯過的一切
只能讓思念如夢般分手
只要再給我多一點時間
想為你完成所有的誓言
太多的夢想 太多的諾言
等待每夜慢慢實現
讓所有圓束在你我隔中間
讓我為你繼續未完的情結
就算妳在天邊 就算你在地面
兩顆真心像風箏連着一條線
願所有快樂在你之間蔓延
讓我感覺妳最幸福的笑臉
雖然妳在天邊 雖然你在地面
我們的愛要相約到永遠

Part of my study life

I'm so tired now.. still blogging with my almost-closed eyes..
Working in a restaurant is an easy task though.
Somehow I realized that I'm not a multi-tasking person.
And I found that I'm actually very lucky enough.
The first training that I had at J.O.Y Pharmacy in Kuching, was awesome!
It was not requested by my own but by other.
For a girl who never worked before, I felt that I'm so lucky to met such a good pharmacist as my boss.
And therefore, the first job that I had, wasn't stressful or pressurized by the boss.
The best thing was, he taught me loads of knowledge besides medications such as pharmacy management, religious thoughts, studying skills, IQs, right brain functions, etc..
Eventhough it was an unpaid training, yet I really learnt a lot which make my personal thoughts more positive as well.

Other than that, the first paid work, which is my first job as well, wasn't get by my own as well.
Through the recommendations of my housemate, I got this pretty good job as a waitress in a food court.
Again, I met a good boss, who treats all of us good enough.
The colleagues there were also very friendly and we used to share our experiences of living in Adelaide. Some of the colleagues were recommended to the boss by my neighbours as well..
Different colleagues from different countries, we see them as one.
The thing that I like most from this job wasn't the pay, but it helps me to practise my english speaking!!!!
Seriously I love the interactions with the locals and visitors from other countries as well, and the communications with them.
Eventhough I'm not a good multi-tasking person, I think i can still handle a small stall well.
Greeting the customers, listen to them, filling the dishes, collecting money, packing the take-away boxes, interact with the chef, counting the amount, attending the awaiting customers, fill up the drinks in the fridge..
At least I'm still good in these..

Well, I just had a trial at a Thai Cafe.
It was a small cafe as well, but.. it was so busy!!!
I need to memorise their 50++ dishes with the prices and all the ingredients in it.. and I did it!
However, I can memorise all of them doesn't mean that I can practise them!
After observing for 2 hours, I learnt a lot as well..
The manager said that my wine pouring skill was so un-professional!!
Alright, thanks for that. At least now I know how does the professional way of pouring wine would be.
And thanks for the trial, eventhough I quitted at the end.
I had learnt how to clean up a table, how to set up a table, how to open a wine bottle, and the basic ways of attending the customers.. and the best thing was, I learnt how to carry so many plates at a time on one arm!!!
It's not easy though.
After wine or drinks, wait for their orders for entree and main courses,
and some of their orders are not served all at once, additional work to let the chefs know about them, and desserts which are served at different time as well..
running in and out in a small cafe with so small space for walking, halfway attending the customers, halfway clearing up the tables, taking orders at the same time, bringing drinks to serve them as well..
nah.. I give up finally..

Back to my study..
Stop making my life so hard..
Anyway, these allow me to know that I still have so much things to learn.
Without this experience, I guess I wouldn't know how difficult is a job as a waitress in a restaurant.

Lastly,
thank God for all these happening in part of my study life.
No experiences, no gain.
:p
