2011-12-24 參觀士林官邸正房

這次網路預約很快

上次是半年前, 要很久以前預約, 而且我們還記錯時間, 晚五分鐘就不給進去了

士林官邸的正房戶外庭園可拍照

但室內的導覽不准拍照

不過, 嬰兒推車是可以推進去室內的, 而且室內地板都有設計斜坡

很貼心的無障礙設施

正房入口前方

正房出口左方

大落地窗的後方就是正房接待賓客的大客廳

綠意盎然的庭園還有老樹、池塘及石椅

The song "Jesus loves me." and lyrics

第一次聽到這首歌時， 就覺得好感動， 不論是詞或旋律， 都讓人心情緩和及平靜下來。上週五在馬偕健康檢查中心做例行健檢時， 更是一直聽到這首歌, 百聽不膩，a  peace of mind是當下的幸福。

Jesus loves me                                               

    

Jesus loves me! This I know,

For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong,

They are weak but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He who died,

Heaven's gate to open wide;

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! loves me still,

When I'm very weak and ill;

From His shining throne on high,

Comes to watch me where I lie.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He will stay,

Close beside me all the way;

He's prepared a home for me,

And some day His face I'll see.

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

lyrics of "Soldier, Soldier, Won't You Marry Me?"

最近在家和小小咪反覆地聽了不少兒歌, 其中有一首英文兒歌, 歌詞頗令人莞爾一笑
下面是該首兒歌的歌詞

《Soldier, Soldier, Won't You Marry Me》

Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum Oh no sweet maid,

I cannot marry you for I have no hat to put on.

So off she ran to her grandmother's chest and she brought him a hat of the very, very best and the soldier put it on .

Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum Oh no sweet maid,

I cannot marry you for I have no coat to put on.

So off she ran to her grandmother's chest and she brought him a coat of the very, very best and the soldier put it on .

Soldier, soldier ,won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum Oh no sweet maid,

I cannot marry you for I have no trousers to put on.

So off she ran to her grandmother's chest and she brought him a pair of trousers of the very, very best and the soldier put them on .

Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum Oh no sweet maid,

I cannot marry you for I have no shoes to put on.

So off she ran to her grandmother's chest and she brought him a pair of shoes of the very, very best and the soldier put them on .

Soldier, soldier, won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum Oh no sweet maid,

I cannot marry you for I have a wife of my own
