女孩的眼淚
当她落泪的一刻,她才是最美的. 没有比把情绪直接挂脸上更好效果的化妆了. 所以后来的琴是为她弹的.每次我弹琴都会有假想的听众.今晚我给了陌生人.想必她是坦诚的. 否则她不会把眼泪挂在陌生人的面前. 否则她不会径直坐在我的对面. 否则她的手不会那样的冰冷. 我的手长时间都没缓过来,她冰冷的手我没能捂暖. 冰冷的手唤起的是对于Irina的记忆,熟悉却失去了感动的记忆. 五种可能导致手冷: 1.激动 2.紧张 3.穿少了 4.月经 5.吃素的结果 这是我的思考的结果. 不管是哪种,这是上次在新年夜在类似境遇下牵HK MM后的第一次真正与一个女孩的手相交. 她有三个理由伤心,三个与去年同时期同样的理由.我不知道的理由. 我想起了零点乐话的氛围,在他们用基督徒的观点去试图说服她之前. 我也想开导她,让她感动.最终我发现我的言语如此的笨拙,还没吉他能解决问题. 我喜欢暧昧,就算只是一厢情愿的. 就到这吧.我给张放歌呢... (周六)待续...

The place where I lived in at the very first time after arriving Wellington, NZ

Wellington to gain from St George sale
The University is putting up for sale a large area of real estate in Wellington’s central city ‘Golden Mile’.

The 6,000 square metres (nought point 59 hectares or almost one-and-a-half acres) includes the iconic former Hotel St George building on the corner of Willis and Boulcott streets.

The sale is good news for Wellington city which can look forward to the development of the inner city site as well as a new look for the University’s Wellington campus in Buckle and Wallace streets. The money from the sale of the properties will be reinvested in new developments and enhancements at the campus.

The properties run from street frontage on Willis Street and Boulcott Street up to the Terrace Gardens, including Flagstaff Hill. Some of the land is currently in use as car parks. The former hotel building is currently used by the University as hostel accommodation, providing around 150 beds for Massey students.

However Wellington Business Services Registrar Liam Halpin says 1000 new beds for students, closer to the campus heart, have been developed since 2000 and provide more convenient and much better quality accommodation for Massey students. The accommodation is funded by private companies while the University manages them. The initiative includes 200 new student accommodation units in Martins Square, available this month, and a further 300 beds available January 2006. Students staying at the St George hostel this year will not be affected by the sale.

Mr Halpin says apart from making sure students can live close to the Wellington campus, the University is bringing most of its teaching activities into the campus area to create a vibrant, self contained university precinct. The University no longer has teaching activities in the Willis Street area.

As part of its strategy for Wellington, he says the University is planning a comprehensive redevelopment of the campus, including new library facilities and improvements to infotech systems.

  • The Hotel St George building and surrounding land were purchased by the former Wellington Polytechnic in 1994. The University inherited the properties when it merged with the polytechnic in 1999.  
  • The Hotel St George cost $100,000 to build 1929 and was then the biggest hotel in New Zealand. It was designed by William Rouse, who also designed the nearby Majestic building, and still retains its art deco facade.
  • It is a Heritage building under the Wellington City District Plan, and has an Historic Places Trust II classification.
  • The properties are up for tender in three parcels. Tenders close 11 August.
  • The Beatles stayed at the St George during their 1964 tour.
