C'est La Vie

Now it is Nov 5,2006. David, who we call "毛仔", My best friend, my classmate in U, my roommate in Shenzhen, my colleague in Maersk Shenzhen Global Service Center, is gonna fly to Ningbo branch starting his new work.
    Because we work in the same Corp and live in the same place, we often talk about our work and our future–what are our own life aim and how we can find our own blue sky on earth. "We are the lowly person carrying little work", David said to me usually. As a fresh man in this dog-eat-dog society and presently graduated from University, we are confused if what we work now adapt to us. "copy" and "paste" is our daily job. I feel boring and depressing, but David said every day he search for fun from it. Although we are the lowest people in our Corp now, we have our opportunity to upgrade ourselves, as long as we do our job best. Remember! Data quality and timeless are key.
    I admire David’s communication ability, And I have no doubt that David’s English speaking is better than me. David can communicate easily with foreigner in English, so he can be very active before our foreign boss. In this case, he have got lots of opportunities. Firstly, He get the chance to transfer to Maersk Shenzhen branch, as a supporter for 2 months. Now, he get his second lucky chance to transfer to Ningbo branch ,working in a new team, starting his new work. most colleagues in Maersk Logistic have more experience than him, Why is he the best person selected? I think his character and his responsibility doing by work give him so many opportunities, but others have none. Who can do the greatest job, who will be the leader, vice versa!
    Canistering back the 5 months we live and work together, we encourage each other. Sometimes, we look back our foretime, no matter working or love. Whatever can be our topic. And what we talk about the most is our future. David says that English is the most useful tool for us, especially working in a foreign company. I agree, so now I am making great efforts to upgrade my English ability, both oral and writing. Let’s exert ourselves, we will finally find our own blue sky! Please give us 3 to 5 years time, we can earn our first bucket of gold!
    On 10:00 today, David will be on his plane with a beautiful lady who is his leader for the new journey. Wish David will be used to working at a new place and for a new work. Best regards for you! See you 3 months later. ^_^

大一新生是校园里的fresh-man，油条老生则是经验丰富的senior，油条老生碰见一群新生会指着其中一个说：“看，多有朝气，就像我当年一样。”大一新生望见洒脱的油条老生从身边谈笑而过，也会滋生出“将来，我也会跟他们一样”。
大一新生吃不惯食堂里的青菜豆腐汤，甚至在说梦话时也会大叫：“我吃不惯这里的饭，我要回家！”刚开学一周寝室便挂出“回家倒记时牌”；油条老生早已把方便面泡成了Ｎ种花样的新吃法，用最少的生活费打理高质量的生活品质。油条老生把家看成是心灵上的一个装饰，“青年有志在四方”，只是homesickness发作时，才往家里挂个电话，叫年迈的父母天凉了注意多添衣服，叫家里的小弟用功念书。
大一新生喜欢称老生为师哥师姐，油条老生更习惯“同学”———这个带有书卷气息的名词。大一新生觉得油条老生待人很热情，能一口气告诉你学校有几个食堂，几个厕所，哪里的饭菜好吃分量足，哪家餐馆的老板用水兑酱油。油条老生觉得这并没什么，只是把自己的经验与大家一起分享。
大一新生比油条老生更新潮时尚，他们是活在“新新人类”前沿的“Ｑ—ＧＥＮ”一族，他们用“ＩＮ”表达“ＣＯＯＬ”，用“晕”作叹词代替“ＭＹＧＯＤ”，用“Ｉ服ＹＯＵ”表示反诘，连网络上的笑脸都带着顽皮“—Ｐ”；油条老生成熟世故而更迷信经验教训，激情过后总要归于平静。
大一女生被称为核桃———想敲也敲不开，油条女生则成了西红柿———都成蔬菜了还嫩装什么水果。大一女生喜欢幻想，就像《大话西游》里的紫霞仙子老是想心目中的齐天大圣会驾着五彩祥云来娶她，可惜只猜对了开头；油条女生宁愿相信爱情的保质期和巧克力一样，不会超过3个月（特效防腐剂除外），油条女生更看得清人生旅途中，哪些是桥，哪些是路。 
大一新生总幻想浪漫的网络情缘和图书馆恋爱，所以，新生们成天抱着几本书去图书馆、自习室…..油条老生更愿意相信瞬间迸发的爱情火花敌不过漫漫长夜里地牵手。当大一新生对着楼上心仪的人在阳台摆满蜡烛发表“爱你一万年”的爱情宣言时，奢侈得不谈爱情的油条老生会自嘲：“爱情是个什么东西？爱一个好难，爱两个心烦，爱三个扯淡，爱Ｎ个玩儿完。” 
大一新生总是觉得毕业遥遥无期，任凭一大堆书堵在面前，只一个渺渺茫茫的“等”字，等考试，等放假，这12年的寒窗苦读到底得到了补偿，盘算还有大部分时间可以挥洒；油条老生总觉得日子过得太快，更愿意回到教室补下因为上课打瞌睡、逃课打游戏欠下的笔记，感叹自己就像寄放在学校4年的小行李，毕业的时候要么被搬走要么廉价出售。 
大一新生热衷于找联谊寝室，打骚扰电话，在阳台上开演唱会：“找一个相爱的最爱的亲爱的深爱的人来告别单身”；油条老生则喜欢抱个吉他在阳光恹恹的下午悠悠地唱“我的那些花儿已经散落在天涯”。 
正是大一新生与油条老生才折射出我们大学时代生活的五彩斑斓。多年后，当我们走过大段人生路程后不经意想起那些陈年老事，才会拈花微笑。
