New Videos and Photos

Here are some new videos and photos of our boy Shanle. He is now going to the Irish School nearby in the mornings. So far he is settling down well and he no longer cries whenever we drop him off at school. But the teacher said that he is not mixing with the other toddlers and he usually be on his own. Perhaps it is because he has been alone with his Mum for the first few months in Cairo and is not used to interacting with others. Or maybe it is due to his own personality.

千头万绪

匆匆的一个月的时光飞逝,真的是岁月不饶人啊!最近我经常感觉有千斤重担日日夜夜压在心上,有种千头万绪,不知如何应对的挫折感。每天早晨一苏醒,我的胸口就感觉到无形的压力,神经紧绷,呼吸不顺。胃口很差而且有作呕的感觉。心中一直反复思绪堆积如山的工作和问题。天天都处在危机当中,身心相当疲惫。从上任到今,我已经瘦了五公斤有余了。回想起来,这是我从来未有的经历。

其实,我心里很清楚其中的原由。离乡背井,新的生活和工作环境,文化的差异,语言的隔阂,家庭的负担,缺乏固定的运动,等等。这一切综合在一起,同一时间,是会产生相当大的压力的!这是对我抗压能力有史以来最大的挑战。目前为止我还没有想出一套妥善的作战方针。

不过,我想现在的当务之急就是把身体健康照顾好。唯有强壮的体魄,才能应付所有的挑战。所以我打算每一个周末都要去俱乐部运动,打打高尔夫球,上健身房还有游泳。由于开罗的交通十分拥挤和混乱,周日是没法子到俱乐部运动了。每周两日的运动要比完全没有来的强吧。

接下来就是要逐一的排除工作上最紧要的问题和巩固管理系统。要在这第一年内把基础打好才可在接下来的后期有所作为。下定决心,排除万难!
