兒時記憶 – 蟬

今天聽了聽好久沒有接觸的民歌, 一首”秋蟬” 勾起了一件藏放在我腦海深處的記憶.

小時候學芭蕾舞的老師家是一座很舊式的日本平房, 有著一個大花園. 在這花園裡我最記得的是有一顆大樹. 夏天時, 有好多的蟬, 常常在休息時間裡坐在樹下乘涼, 聽聽蟬鳴. 突然有一天蟬鳴少了, 但地上卻多了好多的棕色東西. 撿起來一看, 是蟬殼! 看到大家的好奇, 老師請她的父親來為我們解釋蟬蛻.

第一次看見蟬殼時, 覺得挺恐怖的, 後來看多了也就習慣了. 直到有天突發異想, 覺得好玩, 我們幾個同學就撿了一大堆的殼串成項鍊, 得意的各自戴著回家. 我才一踏進家門, 差點把媽媽嚇昏, 直到我把項鍊拿掉, 她才願意讓我靠近身邊.

這雖然是許多年前的事了, 但偶爾和媽媽聊天提起時, 她還是會搖頭嘆氣的說我就是愛作怪. 哈哈! 就算是我作怪吧, 但對我而言這可是好玩的記憶呀. 😀

“Whatever seems like a disaster is actually an opportunity.”

Since March 2014 to date, there were so many changes taking place in my life, as well as excited, I also feel uneasy and slightly worried. Heard someone saying these words on youtube recently, to me personally, they settle my mind and spurs me on. it’s inspirational!
