Think Positive

前几周，收到一封“凡事往好处想”的Email，上个周末，游完泳，在停车场，Richy倒车时刚好撞到前保险杆，他有点无法相信自己開车的技术竟会發生这种事，通常这事是June我才会有的，哈！他骂不到我了，不过怕他心情受到影响，连带会影响到我们接下来的午餐，我提议大家来练习“凡事往好处想”和“别讓事情影响情绪”。所以，好的一面就是，还好没撞到人，还有保险已保车损险。

既然车子要去昆山修，顺便看看有没有未缴的罚单，顺路去昆山的交通大队缴交，大陆的罚单不像台湾能在7-11交的，缴罚单就像二次惩罚，得到当地的交通大队“排队”缴交。昨晚Richy查了网路，發现我開的那辆车有一张￥100罚单，这次他没因损失￥100而难过，反而嘲笑我被開了罚单，真是充分应用“凡事往好处想”的生活哲学，不过我也不甘示弱，马上秀出日曆，罚单上的六月二十一日是星期日，通常星期日都是Richy開车载着我们趴趴走的，Ha,ha....

那日我们真的做到不被倒楣事影响的心情，中午去吃了不太好吃的羊肉面和饺子（那家羊肉店本来很不错的），下午更没受到车子和羊肉店的影响，还去搭Bus去逛了平江街，Richy练习他的单眼摄影技术，原来的旧相机就成了Winston出门的新配备，一路上Richy拍风景、我、和Winston，Wisnton则拍风景、Richy和我。Winston不耐走路、不爱当Richy的Model，也不爱我逛逛小店，无法想像一个七岁小孩一路上能碎碎念，直到我们逛到一家DVD店，他才稍停，买到他的新欢“喜羊羊与灰太狼”，我和Richy终於可以暫時摆脱海绵宝宝了。

Last week a friend sent me a mail about "Think positive when bad things happen".  Last weenkend we happened to have something unfortunate happened to our car.  Richy bumped the front bar of the car while pulling the car out of the parking lot.  He was quite shocked because things like that should always be done by me, not him.  This time he got no one to blame but himself.  I suggested we all practice "think positive" at that time and don't let things affect our mood.  So, the positive side was that our insurance might cover the damage, and this accident might remind Richy to always watch out while turning the car in the future. And the good thing was that we did not hurt any people but bump to the concrete with protecting coat without evening hurting the concrete.

 

Since I had to drive the car to Kun-Shan city sooner to have it fixed. I thought  I may also check if there is any unpaid tickets from the last few months. So I could by the way pay the ticket in Kun-shang.  Richy checked the internet and keyed in the car information last night. Bingo! We got one.  To my surprise, Richy was not sad about losing money for the tickets like the way he used to be. Instead, he teased me about getting one ticket on my car.  Maybe he was applying "positive thinking".  But I passed the calender to him and showed him the ticket was dated June 21 which was a "Sunday".  I never had to drive on Sunday.  Richy was the one who drove us around on Sundays.  Ha, Ha....

Maybe teasing each other about getting a traffic ticket is another way of Positive thinking.  Anyway, We did not panic much about getting the ticket. 

 

We took a bus to Ping-Jiang Street to take a walk on Sunday afternoon.  It was our second visit to Ping-Jiang Street.  Richy wanted to visited the traditional Ping-Tan stage museum, but it was closed when we arrived. Richy was practicing his Photo skill with the single-len Camera.  Our old digital camera became Winston's new kit for outing activities.  I was Winston's model and Winston and I were Richy's model.  We had a simple and light supper at the tea house on the sidewalk.
