星期六是他生日。中午先去蘭芳園吃飯。
一直覺得蘭芳園的奶茶最好。茶香，不苦澀，奶和茶的比重恰到好處 - 喝的時侯完全分不開奶味和茶味，既熟悉，又陌生，叫人迷惑。
吃麵的時侯店裡播愛的逃兵。記得第一個男朋友曾說過喜歡這首歌。我對這首歌沒有什麼共鳴 – 未做過逃兵，自然不知道做逃兵的感覺。
看電影前去了商務印書局。翻過有關中風、四季養生、政治經濟的書。對劉以鬯《不是詩的詩》有點興趣，不過未及細看，已經要走了。
經過兩年前上班的大廈。大部分地方都翻新了，跟回憶中很不一樣。不過回憶的世界和現實世界，本來就不一樣，也只會越來越不一樣..........
之後看 The Chronicles of Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader。對這套電影從來稱不上喜歡。不知是否座位買得前的關係，有些3D效果竟然令我差點忘了自己在看戲。有人說過這套電影有宣揚基督教的成分。不過我覺得不明顯 - 至少他看的時侯沒有反感。況且，面對自己內心黑喑，迷失自我等題材也不是基督教獨有。
晚飯吃日式放題。隨後去HMV，買了Blade Runner。算是開心的一天。

我們都寂寞
<聖誕結>
作詞：何啟弘
作曲：李峻一
編曲：Terry Chang
我住的城巿從不下雪
記憶卻堆滿冷的感覺
思念的旺季 霓虹掃過喧嘩的街
把快樂趕得好遠
*落單的戀人最怕過節
只能獨自慶祝盡量喝醉
我愛過的人 沒有一個留在身邊
寂寞它陪我過夜
#Merry Merry Christmas
Lonely Lonely Christmas
想祝福不知該給誰
愛被我們打了死結
Lonely Lonely Christmas
Merry Merry Christmas
寫了卡片能寄給誰
心碎的像街上的紙屑
Repeat * #
電話不接 不要被人 發現我整夜都關在房間
狂歡的笑聲 聽來像哀悼的音樂
眼眶的淚 溫熱凍結 望著電視裡的無聊節目
癱在沙發上 變成沒知覺的植物
Repeat # #
誰來陪我過這聖誕節

To: Somebody
Bought this card long long time ago. I was at the age of 14 or 15 back then.
For many reasons, I didn't send it out to anyone. Just kept it with other Christmas cards people sent me. And I found that I have 4 or 5 blank cards like these.
Anyway........
How's the weather at your side? Hope you are happy and warm.
Lastly.......and that's the most important thing i want to say......
I love you, and thanks for everything.
Merry Christmas.

You belong with me
peter: he lied to me. he told me i could heal the problems of this world. my father told me that all the problems out there started when walter came over and stole me, and that now that i was back i was gonna be able to help to fix it, but his bringing me back was never about fixing this universe, it was about destroying yours.
olivia: i'm sorry.
peter: how long did you know?
olivia: for a few weeks. peter i -
peter: don't worry. i'm not gonna let them do this.
olivia: i don't think that he can, i mean... not without you. peter... you don't belong here.
peter: no, i don't belong here. but i don't belong there either.
olivia: yes, you do. i've thought of a hundred reasons why you should come back, to... to fight the shapeshifters, to... take care of walter, to... save the world. but in the end, you have to come back, because you belong with me.

真相
如無記錯，這應該是電影 Mother & Child 裡的對白........
“You always tell the truth?”
“Truth is easier to remember.”
最近試著不說謊。
除了因為某程度上說謊是一種罪之外，也想知道，或者說，測試對人及對自己完全誠實的可行性。
只是，要把真相說出來而又不令人難受，難度比直接說謊高很多。除非，你是一個完全不理會別人感受的人........
但自己的感受呢？
有些真相，甚至連自己也無法接受。

夢醒時分
My ipod played this song this morning. I was sleeping, then kind of wake up.
Once i told him that i want to use 林憶蓮's早晨 to be my alarm clock music.
Now i think this one might be better.
Yeah, time to wake up.
作詞：李宗盛 作曲：李宗盛 編曲：李正帆
你說你愛了不該愛的人 你的心中滿是傷痕
你說你犯了不該犯的錯 心中滿是悔恨
你說你嚐盡了生活的苦 找不到可以相信的人
你說你感到萬分沮喪 甚至開始懷疑人生
早知道傷心總是難免的 你又何苦一往情深
因為愛情總是難捨難分 何必在意那一點點溫存
要知道傷心總是難免的 在每一個夢醒時分
有些事情你現在不必問 有些人你永遠不必等

弱水三千
主唱：麥浚龍
作曲：馮穎琪
填詞：林夕
編曲：張亞東
監製：Jerald．Juno
三千春江水 暫住寂寞天空
逛夠了世界 跌進了春風
＊ 活著自活著 萬象在逝水中暢泳
偶爾愛上過一些倒影
流言流成河流 流過幾道名勝
浪停下像拿著鏡 難辨舊日風景
山水非山水 凍了變雪堆
山水般山水 遇熱若霧水
混雜絕望後便是淚水 衍生出心碎
狂潯約花絮 再醉了愛再醉 會跌進漩渦太虛
擠於渠裡 浸於浴裡 同樣落自春水
汗滴在血海紅不紅 散聚後味道餘殘濃不濃
那是快感還是痛 深海裡永遠看不通
靜靜地浮游在清空 一轉身可以化進了杯中
口乾了便喝盡那密雲 像喝掉如夢如幻信不信
REPEAT ＊
三千春江水 暫住寂寞天空
逛夠了世界 跌進了春風
清水苦水一樣暫住半空
水清不起花 萬物靜默夾道
碎了這塊鏡 照見了洶湧 眉頭才震動
汗滴在血海紅不紅 散聚後味道餘殘濃不濃
那是快感還是痛 深海裡永遠看不通
靜靜地浮游在清空 一轉身可以化進了杯中
口乾了便喝盡那密雲 像喝掉如夢如幻信不信
水慢慢飄升於天空 水慢慢將萬物玩弄
活著若是夢 是夢蝶讓水色震動
撇夠了冷雨 得到升空
煮飯仔
上星期第一次去街市買菜。直到最近我才弄清唐生菜和西生菜的分別。
還有一球看來像西生菜，但看來比較厚和蒼白的，那是椰菜。
最後去了一間專賣有機菜的檔口買唐生菜。3 棵菜 $ 17.3 算不算貴? 我不知道。
聽朋友說洗生菜算是最簡單。
先浸十五分鐘，用水沖洗 。然後再將上述步驟重複。
洗菜的時侯，我發現了幾條蟲，慌張地打電話問工人菜還可不可以吃。
她說有幾條蟲是正常，又問我為什麼不叫她幫忙。
原來洗菜很累。逐條菜像洗碗一樣洗，一個下午等同洗了40多隻碗。

聖誕咭
陸陸續續收到聖誕禮物，全都是同事送的。
比較意外、開心的，是收到兩張聖誕咭。
現在和朋友溝通不是用Facebook就是用講的，可能認識多年也不知道她/他的字跡。親手寫的，感覺上、份量上，始終有點不同。
忽然想起上次逛街見到不少精緻可愛的聖誕咭，很有衝動想買下來。
當然最後沒有買 - 因為我想不到送給誰，更不想送給自己。
那些聖誕咭的樣子我都不記得了。
還記得的，是當時想送、想收、再由熱鬧的商場忽然跳進一片荒蕪的感覺。

身後事
很久以前，爸爸已說過，他死了之後，不用為他立什麼墳。把他的骨灰撒向大海就可以了。
上次見面，他又舊事重提。
「你媽說其實不用撒向大海那麼麻煩。把骨灰倒進馬桶，還不是一樣。」
我一呆。然後忍不住大笑。

Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals Turned Me Vegan
Natalie Portman
27 Oct 2009 7:30AM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/natalie-portman/jonathan-safran-foers-iea_b_334407.html
Jonathan Safran Foer's book Eating Animals changed me from a twenty-year vegetarian to a vegan activist. I've always been shy about being critical of others' choices because I hate when people do that to me. I'm often interrogated about being vegetarian (e.g., "What if you find out that carrots feel pain, too? Then what'll you eat?").
I've also been afraid to feel as if I know better than someone else -- a historically dangerous stance (I'm often reminded that "Hitler was a vegetarian, too, you know"). But this book reminded me that some things are just wrong. Perhaps others disagree with me that animals have personalities, but the highly documented torture of animals is unacceptable, and the human cost Foer describes in his book, of which I was previously unaware, is universally compelling.
The human cost of factory farming -- both the compromised welfare of slaughterhouse workers and, even more, the environmental effects of the mass production of animals -- is staggering. Foer details the copious amounts of pig shit sprayed into the air that result in great spikes in human respiratory ailments, the development of new bacterial strains due to overuse of antibiotics on farmed animals, and the origins of the swine flu epidemic, whose story has gripped the nation, in factory farms.
I read the chapter on animal shit aloud to two friends -- one is from Iowa and has asthma and the other is a North Carolinian who couldn't eat fish from her local river because animal waste had been dumped in it as described in the book. They had never truly thought about the connection between their environmental conditions and their food. The story of the mass farming of animals had more impact on them when they realized it had ruined their own backyards.
But what Foer most bravely details is how eating animal pollutes not only our backyards, but also our beliefs. He reminds us that our food is symbolic of what we believe in, and that eating is how we demonstrate to ourselves and to others our beliefs: Catholics take communion -- in which food and drink represent body and blood. Jews use salty water on Passover to remind them of the slaves' bitter tears. And on Thanksgiving, Americans use succotash and slaughter to tell our own creation myth -- how the Pilgrims learned from Native Americans to harvest this land and make it their own.
And as we use food to impart our beliefs to our children, the point from which Foer lifts off, what stories do we want to tell our children through their food?
I remember in college, a professor asked our class to consider what our grandchildren would look back on as being backward behavior or thinking in our generation, the way we are shocked by the kind of misogyny, racism, and sexism we know was commonplace in our grandparents' world. He urged us to use this principle to examine the behaviors in our lives and our societies that we should be a part of changing. Factory farming of animals will be one of the things we look back on as a relic of a less-evolved age.
I say that Foer's ethical charge against animal eating is brave because not only is it unpopular, it has also been characterized as unmanly, inconsiderate, and juvenile. But he reminds us that being a man, and a human, takes more thought than just "This is tasty, and that's why I do it." He posits that consideration, as promoted by Michael Pollan in The Omnivore's Dilemma, which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don't believe in rape, but if it's what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it).
But Foer makes his most impactful gesture as a peacemaker, when he unites the two sides of the animal eating debate in their reasoning. Both sides argue: We are not them. Those who refrain from eating animals argue: We don't have to go through what they go through -- we are not them. We are capable of making distinctions between what to eat and what not to eat (Americans eat cow but not dog, Hindus eat chicken but not cow, etc.). We are capable of considering others' minds and others' pain. We are not them. Whereas those who justify eating animals say the same thing: We are not them. They do not merit the same value of being as us. They are not us.
And so Foer shows us, through Eating Animals, that we are all thinking along the same lines: We are not them. But, he urges, how will we define who we are?

變
忽然想聽馬勒，也想聽馬友友的大提琴。總之，想聽些沒有詞的音樂。
像忙了一天回家，不想說話，但仍渴望一個溫暖的擁抱。
最近有點覺得逐漸變回中學時的自己。幾乎不看電視。寫日記、看書、聽古典音樂.............
大部份時間都是一個人。也不介意，甚至情願一個人。
不是不想說話。聊天可以，交際不必了。
想聊天，也先要有一個聊天的對象。
有些話不是隨便可以對人說。
心臟病的人去看腦科醫生有鬼用?
不過，變得再近，也變不回當初那個人。先別說身材，你叫我現在不講粗口不留意股市行情買東西前不格價不講價是不可能的。

演自己?
<林夕台灣音樂五四三訪談>
http://hotbt.net/index.php/article/video/2010-11-20/2085.html
...........................
林夕：（笑）我的話太多，所以才要寫專欄。可是如果總結性一句，我覺得。。。盡量忠於當時的自己，不要一個人的時候，還是欺騙自己。一個人的時候其實是很容易欺騙自己，自己其實很好騙的啦，自己希望自己成為一個什麼樣的人，你會慢慢形成一個限制，慢慢你、中途你發現不適合自己，你還是會演下去。我覺得我過去也有犯這個毛病。
馬世芳：演自己。。。
林夕：對，演自己，以為的自己，你太快確立的自己。我覺得應該要忠於當時的，每一段當時的自己。

此時快樂的代價
作詞：林夕
作曲：許茹芸
編曲：李雨寰
有沒有 一種快樂 曾經纏綿悱惻 過後不會不捨
有沒有 一段激情 能夠像一首歌 聽完了就算了
我們總懷著希望 面對未知的絕望 直到我們能夠微笑著失望
有沒有 一個方法 勉強吻他嘴巴 不付任何代價
有沒有 一種喧嘩 曲終人散以後 能讓寂寞昇華
我們總懷著希望 面對未知的絕望 直到我們能夠微笑著失望
快樂著痛苦 到底該笑還是哭
還是擁抱著會消失的玩具我們才會滿足
越大的快樂 可能越快要結束
難道我們要追尋的 是痛苦
非愛他不可 忍著眼淚快樂 何必呢
愛不愛都可 又有什麼快樂 怪不得

一
前兩天看《歌德談話錄》，看到十多頁，忍不住回頭看譯者是誰，朱光潛，嗯，不服不行。
沒有一字不直白，但像飽熟不墜的果子，重得很。
看這本書的感覺，像是歌德說的那句話“在最近這兩個破爛的世紀裡，生活本身已經變得多麼孱弱呀，我們哪裡還能碰到一個純真的，有獨創性的人呢？哪裡還有足夠的力量能做一個誠實人，本來是什麼樣就顯出什麼樣呢？”
他說別人老把藝術說得特別嚇人，但“我只是有勇氣把我心裡感到的誠實地寫出來，……使我感到切膚之痛的，迫使我創作《維特》的，只是我生活過，戀愛過，苦痛過，關鍵就在這裡”。
說的人，譯的人，都平實而深永。
朱光潛，對我來說一直是一個教科書的人物，歌德也是，老覺得隔了十萬八千裡。一聽到別人鄭重地說“老先生如何如何”，我就覺得隔膜，不愛去看。所以只是知道他們的存在。
朱曾寫過一個故事，有人說和自己的妹妹在一個家庭裡生活了二十多年，但一直到兩人的母親臨死的一刻，他才“看見”了她。
知道，和看見，是兩回事。
二
昨天在《巨流河》裡又碰到他。
齊邦媛寫在戰火中的武大，朱光潛當時是教務長，已經名滿天下了，特意找到這個一年級的新生，讓她從哲學系轉學外文，說“現在武大轉到這麼僻遠的地方，哲學系有一些課開不出來，我看到你的作文，你太多愁善感，似乎不適於哲學，你如果轉入外文系，我可以做你的導師，有問題可以隨時問我”。
朱開的課是《英詩金庫》，每首詩要她背誦。
一九四五年，戰爭未完，齊邦媛和幾個同班的女生，走下白塔街，經過濕漉漉的水西門，地上有薄冰，背誦雪萊的《沮喪》，“它的第三節有一行貼切地說出我那時無從訴說的心情‘沒有內在的平靜，沒有外在的安寧’。”
當時的艱困，朱光潛上課時“一字不提”，只是有天講到華茲華斯的《瑪格麗特的悲苦》，寫到一個女人，兒子七年沒有音訊，說中國古詩有相近的話：“風雲有鳥路，江漢限無梁”，竟然語帶哽咽，稍停頓又念下去，念到最後兩句，“If any chance to heave a sigh, They pity me, and not my grief. （如果有人為我嘆息，他是憐憫我，而不是我的悲苦）"，他取下眼鏡，眼淚流下雙頰，突然把書闔上，快步走出教室，留下滿室愕然，無人開口說話。
八十多歲的齊邦媛，一生流離，去國離鄉，卻一直記得這個瞬間,“即使是最絕望的詩中也似有強韌的生命力……人生沒有絕路，任何情況之下，弦歌不輟是我活著的最大依靠”
三
朱光潛是個敏感的人，學生到他家中，想要打掃庭院裡的層層落葉，他攔住了“我好不容易才積到這麼厚，可以聽到雨聲”。
但他沒有頹廢感傷的浪漫主義病，他喜歡人生的一切趣味，寫過一個外交官，本來無須，下巴光光，但一直拿手在腮邊捻，有人看不慣，覺得是官氣，他卻看得很有興味，覺得恢諧。又寫一個英國文學家和幾個女人同路，別人都看他身邊的女人，文學家不高興了，面孔一板“哼，別的地方也有人這樣看我”。
他喜愛這些細節，只觀察，不輕易評判，但這裡自有一種力量。
他的學生第一次見他時，說“他專注地注視，甚至逼視著你，你似乎感到自己大腦的每一個皺褶處都被他看透了，說實話，開始並不感到舒服自在。”
他與各式各樣的人與各式各樣的傾向都保持接觸，保持理解，但無論什麼進入這顆心靈，都會呈現它本來的面目，無法故弄玄虛。“頭一點我要求合邏輯。一番話在未說以前，我必須把思想先弄清楚，自己先明白，才能讓讀者明白，糊裡糊塗地混過去，表面堂皇鏗鏘，骨子裡不知所雲或是暗藏矛盾，這個毛病極易犯，我知道提防它，是得力於外國文字的訓練。我愛好法國人所推崇的清晰。”
他前後在歐洲幾個大學裡做過14年的學生，解剖過鯊魚，制造過染色切片，讀過建築史，學過符號名學，用過熏煙鼓和電氣反應表測驗心理反應，這樣的人來寫和譯的時候，把藝術的嚇人嘴臉撕了個稀爛，有赤子般的誠實。
宋神宗有次看到蘇子瞻“我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒”幾句詞時嘆息，“忠君愛國之情溢於言表！”。朱光潛寫到這段時，直接說，這“令人發嘔”。
所以他寫“我應該感謝文藝的地方很多，尤其是它教我學會一種觀世法。……凡是不能持冷靜的客觀的態度的人，毛病都在把‘我’看得太大。他們從‘我’這一副著色的望遠鏡裡看世界，一切事物於是都失去它們本來的面目。”
四
1929年，當時社會風潮處處鼓呼讓學生運動，他卻讓青年時時小心“十字街頭上握有最大威權的是習俗。習俗有兩種，一為傳統，一為時尚。儒家的禮教，五芳齋的餛飩，是傳統；新文化運動，四馬路的新裝，是時尚。傳說尊舊，時尚趨新，新舊雖不同，而盲從附和，不假思索，則根本無二致”
他說“強者皇然叫囂，弱者隨聲附和，舊者盲從傳說，新者盲從時尚，相習成風，每況愈下，而社會之浮淺頑劣虛偽酷毒，乃日不可收拾。”
所以他要呼吁在思想上要打破一切偶像，但“打破偶像，也並非鹵莽叫囂可了，那還是十字街頭的特色”
他說，我們要能於叫囂擾攘中，能自由伸張自我，不要汩沒在十字街頭的影響裡去。
所以他寫過為什麼要研究美學，美無形無跡，但是“它伸展同情，擴充想像，增加對於人情物理的深廣真確的認識。這三件事是一切真正道德的基礎。從歷史看，許多道德信條到缺乏這種基礎時，便為淺見和武斷所把持，變為狹隘、虛偽、酷毒的桎梏”
1947年，他寫文章說文藝的天性便是自由，“文藝不光本身是一種真正自由的運動，並且也是令人得到自由的一種力量”
五
他家保姆曾經說：朱先生在家裡，連那兩只貓都敢欺負他。他有一個扶手椅，是寫作時坐的，那兩只貓也經常去那上面休憩。有時候他過去，那兩只貓也不躲閃，他揮著手：“走開！走開！”但那兩只貓理也不理他。
朱光潛的女兒回憶，在文革時，“我家房子裡住進了很多不相干的人。有時候，吃著晚飯，抄家的人就來了，有些還是七八歲的孩子，闖進家門：“朱光潛，站起來，站著！老實交待！”有時候我看不下去：“你們讓他吃完飯不行嗎？”“不行，我們還沒有吃飯呢！”
善本身極為柔弱，但卻不可征服。
他女兒寫，“但父親是這樣一個“頑固”的人，雖然歷經磨難，可是只要是他認定了是正確的東西，他就會堅持下去。“文革”之後，我勸過他：“不要弄你的美學了，你弄了哪次運動落下你了？！再弄，也不過是運動再次來臨的時候讓你滅亡的證據。”說：“有些東西現在看起來沒有用，但是將來用得著，搞學術研究總還是有用的。我要趁自己能干的時候干出來。”我說：“你還沒有搞夠嗎？”他說：“我不搞就沒有人搞了。”
蔡元培說，一個沒有審美的民族是不知善惡的，他們這代人，從降生起，經歷了一個動蕩的世紀，青草細密栽下，又被一再拔起，在朱光潛臨逝前，有學生去看他，他寫下“野火燒不盡，春風吹又生”。
他終生恪守自己的座右銘“此身、此時、此地。”
此身，是說凡此身應該做而且能夠做的事，決不推諉給別人。
此時，是指凡此時應該做而且能夠做的事，決不推延到將來。
此地，是說凡此地應該做而且能夠做的事，決不等待想像中更好的境地。

一
前兩天看《歌德談話錄》，看到十多頁，忍不住回頭看譯者是誰，朱光潛，嗯，不服不行。
沒有一字不直白，但像飽熟不墜的果子，重得很。
看這本書的感覺，像是歌德說的那句話“在最近這兩個破爛的世紀裡，生活本身已經變得多麼孱弱呀，我們哪裡還能碰到一個純真的，有獨創性的人呢？哪裡還有足夠的力量能做一個誠實人，本來是什麼樣就顯出什麼樣呢？”

上一次生氣的時侯
有一個朋友，每次約了外出，印象中十次有六次都是當日放飛機的。
你有事找她，留了言，她不一定回覆。
她的解釋是沒收過留言、忘記覆。我初初是相信這些解釋的 。 但當類似情形已發生多次，我開始懷疑我們到底還算不算是朋友。
然，每當她「出事」的時侯，她又會找我傾訴、求助。令我覺得，可能她真的當我是朋友，只是脾氣怪，人比較自私..........
前天朋友K結婚請吃飯，她又臨時失約。她把不去的理由賴在我身上，還叫K不要跟我說。
她說的理由非但不是事實，也不合情理，故此K向我求證 - 因為她相信我不是這樣的人。
這次她真的把我惹火了。

今夜星光燦爛
好友生日，我們去了尖東晚飯。
我和她F.2認識，當時大家同是轉校生。我還記得是她先主動介紹自己。 (其實只不過是說: 嗨，我叫XXX。你呢?)
從我們那邊看出去的風景是這樣的。
大部份時間都是她在說話。看樣子，她痊癒了。
我們的話題其實十分無聊。除了美容、時裝、其他朋友的動向、她同事間的恩怨之外，我們還討論應怎樣回覆舊男友的短訊 - 雖然大家清楚知道最後什麼都不會做.............
「原來已經是春天了。在這潮濕的季節，特別想念你。」
「不好。應該寫: 原來已經是春天了。在這潮濕的季節，你有想起我嗎?」
「嘩! 肯定谷精上腦。」
越來越覺得，好像只有跟中學同學一起的時候，才想起自己年輕過。
九點半。我們乘酒店的玻璃子彈電梯離開。
電梯門一關上，燈光倏地暗了下來。 遠處是維港的夜色，星光旖旎。
忽然覺得有點寂寞。

笑話一則
蘇民峰 二○一一年肖蛇運
蛇人踏入兔年，命宮只現一顆力量不太強勁的「驛馬」吉星，但卻有影響深遠的「孤辰」、「飛廉」、「大煞」等凶星騷擾，流年運程可算動盪，麻煩之事並不鮮見。切記凡事都要三思而行，輕舉妄動只會招來重大挫敗。
事業方面，流年見「驛馬」，主有出國觀光或遠地旅行之事。肖蛇的你，今年有被派到國外出差的機會，但工作辛苦，卻沒有額外報酬。雖然如此，但上司派下來的工作，絕對不可馬虎了事。若要保住目前的工作，你必須要努力守好自己的崗位，凡事也不要怕蝕底，多為公司出力，多為同事做事，較可保障自己在公司裏的地位。
須知你在兔年裏沒有貴人星照護，命宮且見眾多凶星。為防是非、小人接二連三，對你作出諸多留難，你在兔年裏謹記要堅持十足毅力，不要干預與自己無關的事，希望可以將煩惱減至最低。
財運方面，雖然沒有破財星破壞運程，但財星亦已悄然隱退。反而見「的煞」和「破碎」騷擾，即是今年你很容易會遺失東西於計程車或交通工具上，錢包或貴重物品也會因一時大意而丟掉。另一方面，今年開支較大，不易積聚錢財，即使金錢有進，最後也會財來財去一場空。
此外，今年盜賊猖獗，蛇人除了要注意門戶安全之外，日常上街或深夜回家時，也要少帶現金和貴重首飾，緊記財不可露眼，最好的辦法就是少上夜街，多與家人朋友結伴，或許可以令匪徒退避三舍。
愛情方面，蛇人的愛情觀比較清晰，相愛時會愛得十分徹底，但要分手時，也絕不會拖泥帶水，半點不留餘地。
今年戀愛運普通，由於有擾人情緒的凶星作祟，令男性容易沉醉於酒色之中，以致冷落身邊伴侶。已婚者會因為工作應酬而常常出入娛樂場所，易受美色所迷，導致夫妻關係欠和睦。蜜運中的朋友工作忙碌、重友輕色，只顧應酬和自己消遣，冷淡愛侶，令對方產生怨言。單身之人，除非能夠改善自己情緒反覆的毛病，才有機會在今年找到拍拖對象。
其實，兩人相處，最重要的就是互相信任，坦誠相對，才可以維繫長久的戀愛關係。
健康方面，流年沒有貴人守護的蛇人，今年健康難免有點動盪不安，除了容易染病之外，也受其他負面磁場影響，以致心緒不寧。
流年「大煞」凶星主事，卜主今年容易發生意外事故，輕者皮外之傷，嚴重者要送院治理，因此，無論你是否駕車人士，也要特別小心路面交通情況。日常出入，走在別人屋檐下時，也要慎防有高空襲物，勿讓自己身陷無妄之災。除了本身的健康狀況之外，今年也要注意家中老人家，防有病厄應於他們身上。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
閱後感 :
- 我出年似乎衰到貼地。連「走在別人屋檐下時，也要慎防有高空襲物」
-「今年也要注意家中老人家，防有病厄應於他們身上」家中老人家也包括男家的人嗎?
- 如果我真係盡信呢篇野，凡事小心、注意、慎防，我難免「受負面磁場影響，以致心緒不寧」。

Mother & Child
最近開始清閒，平均每星期可以看一套電影。
電影名字不提也罷。
笑片不好笑。
恐怖片不恐怖。(不是沒有被嚇著的時侯，不過那種程度跟被街上突然跳出來的貓嚇到沒有兩樣)
劇情片沒有味道 – 有點像吃香口膠，越吃越淡，好幾次忍不住fast forward至結局。
暫時談得上喜歡的，只有Mother & Child。
題材簡單，情節不複雜，但也有不少令人意外的地方。
最複雜的，是劇中人的內心世界。
*****************************
多了一些本來沒有，但忽然想問母親的問題。
*****************************
或者，我也應該為「她」寫一個故事。
問題是，我該給她一個怎樣的結局。
不過更大的問題是 : 我有時間嗎?

Last Autumn
Took these photos around autumn last year. It’s a place for fishing. Of cos I didn’t do any fishing. I hate fish. I remembered I just sat there, looked at the sea, doing nothing. I heard people talking. Sometimes I heard myself talking too.
Can u feel what I feel back then?
I don’t want to keep them in my computer. Don’t want to delete them either.
I moved them to a place where they were supposed to belong to.

The Ghost Writer
Watched “The Ghost Writer” last Saturday night.
The part about using which approach to write the memoirs is quite interesting.
I like the design of the house too.
Other than that, really nothing special.
I don't know much about Roman Polanski. I went to IMDB, found some of his quotes:
- Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring.
- Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.
- I am not a fortune teller. I would like to be judged for my work, and not for my life. If there is any possibility of changing your destiny, it may be only in your creative life, certainly not in your life, period.

- Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.
- I am not a fortune teller. I would like to be judged for my work, and not for my life. If there is any possibility of changing your destiny, it may be only in your creative life, certainly not in your life, period.

White Tulip
It’s one of my favorite Fringe episode.
You think that’s just Dejavu? May be it’s not.
May be it had happened before. But for some reason, time is reset so things would recur again and again......
I like the time travel story. Partly because it ended quite like my story, and the white tulip part really surprised me. At that moment, I just feel great to be an audience.
Too bad that you wasn't watching.

中秋節
橙紅色星星。若隱若現的月亮。微雨。濕濡的空氣。
燒肉、叉燒、油雞、螺片、花膠湯、海參、雪梨、橙、日式月餅、熱奶茶、明治咖喱粟米條.........好飽。
書、電影、Fringe、The Good Wife、漫畫。
如果想怎樣過節都可以由自己決定的話，我比較想去大嶼山(我還未去過昂坪360!)，看人煲蠟、玩燈籠、放孔明燈......

過敏
作詞：大麥
作曲：黃淑惠
編曲：洪敬堯
你消失的一百天
我沒了笑臉 怕別人看見
我敏感的神經線 一點一點 沒知覺
泛紅雙眼 不成眠 它跟著我一整夜
麻痺的臉 特效藥也 無解
才發現 我正擱淺在愛情過敏的季節
Oh~過敏源 是對你的思念
我想我 才了解 我正停格在愛情過敏的季節
季節沒改變 是想念 沒斷線
我想我 才發現 感情塵蹣已佈滿了我的世界
Oh~過敏源 是為你流的淚
我想我 才了解 就算用盡了力氣也未必如願
季節沒改變 是眼淚 弄濕臉
季節一直變 但我的心 沒有變
你消失的一百天 我沒了笑臉 沒知覺

Inception
It is an interesting story. I like it.
This movie reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Shutter Island, and Matrix. It also reminds me of my memory castle thing.
From what I have read so far, some people link or compare it with Blade Runner, 《盜夢探偵 Paprika》, 《再生號》,Citizen Kane, The Cell, House (Last few episodes of Season 4 & 5), The Science of Sleep, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dark City, & Synecdoche, New York.
I didn't spend too much time to study the ending. Not only because I don't have time. I just think any interpretation could be possible.
That reminds me one experience while reading Agatha Christie’s novel long time ago. Back then I was trying to find the killer by myself. I seriously studied all those evidence. I even listed all possible assumptions, created tables & relationship charts, as if I was the detective.......
Guess what? I did not succeed, since I lacked the most crucial piece of information, which is, of cos, withheld by the author until the ending.
Anyway.......
The truth doesn't matter a lot to me now, whatever it is. One day you will know, or you will never know.....you just cant do anything about it.
Time to work.

我痛故我在
好耐未試過做野做到禁辛苦。
上星期首先是眼睛開始痛，之後自然是頭痛、頸梗膊痛、腰酸背痛。最後竟然連手腳也痛，走路也有點力不從心。如果不幸遇上色狼.........
我思故我在？到了這種地步，還可以正常運作的，應該只剩下最基本的生理反應。

雷雨
一個雷電交加的晚上。
臨睡前忍不住拉開窗簾，看雨。零零碎碎的想起了很多事。
<雨下一整晚>
作詞：方文山
作曲：周杰倫
街燈下的櫥窗 有一種落寞的溫暖
吐氣在玻璃上 畫著你的模樣
開著車漫無目的的轉彎 不知要去哪個地方
鳥絕的電視牆 到底有誰在看
白楊木影子被拉長 像我對你的思念總不完
原來我從未習慣 你已不在我身旁
街道的鐵門被拉上 只剩轉角霓虹燈還在閃
這城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚
妳撐把小紙傘 嘆姻緣太婉轉
唉~ 雨落下霧茫茫 問天涯在何方
喔喔~ 啊~午夜裡 你深藏
偷偷偷 透過窗 燭臺前 我們還在想
小舢舨 划呀划 小紙傘 遮雨也遮月光
白楊木影子被拉長 像我對你的思念總不完
原來我從未習慣 你已不在我身旁
街道的鐵門被拉上 只剩轉角霓虹燈還在閃
這城市 的小巷 雨下一整晚

Crossover
歌手： 蔡卓妍 Charlene
作曲： 林立基
作詞： 陳少琪
編曲： Johnny Yim
跟你只是 好友的好
但其餘的 彼此誰也看到
在百貨公司地牢 晚間的地鐵
也會遇到 沒法可逃
當你跨越 黃線警告
若出錯怎修補
要做夢已經不早
日常問好 無謂再吞吐
你別再三 憑目光傾訴
別要讓我 明白流淚真正用途
天已黑 回家正好
來跟另一半去共舞
明知道 還擁抱
便同為痛苦倒數
再一步 甚至半步
會擾亂感覺直至摔倒
錯下去 代價很高
怎退後 你應該做到
不要感動 才免心痛
再等兩三分鐘
快樂便永久冰封
自從幸福 留下我失蹤
我便了解 甚麼不可碰
就算令我 人越遺憾妝會越濃
天已黑 回家正好
來跟另一半去共舞
明知道 還擁抱
便同為痛苦倒數
再一步 甚至半步
會擾亂感覺直至摔倒
錯下去 代價很高
怎退後 你應該做到
這陣線不能放鬆 說不起愛得大勇
為了掩飾心裡 還繼續跳動
天已黑 回家正好
來跟另一半去共舞
明知道 還擁抱
便同為痛苦倒數
再一步 甚至半步
會擾亂感覺直至摔倒
錯下去 代價很高
怎退後 你應該做到

大事件
上星期一，吃完了一頓不算愉快的晚飯回家。放下手袋，開電視，電話同時響了起來。
「快看電視！」
電視畫面是一架旅遊巴，字幕寫著十五名人質身亡。
平常一回家必定先洗澡，那天破例在電視機前坐了個多小時。感覺有點像看電影，但你又清楚知道這不是電影，所以份外激動。上一次因看電視新聞而激動應該是六四。
如果把感覺抽離，把它當成是一齣電影，特警的表現，固然和電影如Die Hard之類出現重大落差，甚至連無線的警匪片都不如。那晚心情沉重，不過沒有失眠。
第二天花了比平常多的時間看新聞、上網，很想知道事實的真相----不只是事發過程、事態發展，也想對這個國家多點認識。
網友的評論不是不好笑的。例如稱呼菲律賓警察為業餘保安，又問成個菲律賓係咪只得一個鎚仔。網友竟然還找到菲律賓警察「手中無槍心中有槍」的扮楂搶照片，也有在肇事旅遊巴前拍照的學生和警察的照片，不禁令我懷疑自己眼花甚至乎照片的真實性。
原來菲律賓早有綁架之都的美譽。有民主選舉，不等同政府不會貪污腐敗。
一個星期過去了，拼圖漸漸清楚。始終是局外人，再激動、傷心、關注，也有個限度。整件事對我最深遠的影響，就是我有生之年恐怕不會去菲律賓。
不過對死難者親人和劫後餘生的人而言，無論怎樣往前走，走得多遠，心裡某一部份，將有一段很長的時間，更可能永遠地，停留在那個地方。

90後體驗尼泊爾生活 淳樸心靈促青年反思
A news that touched me today. Though it's not something special. I dont even know why.....
(明報)2010年8月27日 星期五 05:10
【明報專訊】矮矮的小房子、綠油油的梯田、層層疊疊的巒巒山脈、一張張的小孩笑臉配上藍天白雲，構建出尼泊爾 的淳樸畫象，23名香港「90後」來到這片土地，以聯合國 兒童基金會青年使者身分體驗尼國生活，有人說香港的90後是被寵壞的一代，不懂為人設想，到過尼泊爾的青年使者又怎樣？他們嘗試理解當地人的想法，從中獲得不一樣的感受。
學習尼泊爾人滿足的心
走進尼泊爾家庭，他會猶豫要不要用閃光燈拍照；停下拍照而遠離大隊，則要顧慮會否令其他團員久候。「己所不欲，勿施於人」人人會說，但升讀中五的羅焯桓說來卻是別有體會。
一個個天真的小學生走進中學的大門，嘻嘻哈哈的過每一天，身邊都是一大堆好朋友；但長大了，羅焯桓覺得朋友關係也變了，同學都在爭逐第一，爭逐校內課外活動的名銜，「以前的朋友，表面上都沒什麼，背後卻會中傷你、出賣你，好虛假，朋友的關係原來很脆弱」。他曾經為朋友關係傷心，但在尼泊爾走過幾天，他的想法也不一樣。
他直言，這次尼泊爾的體驗較想像中多，更改變他的生活態度，「尼泊爾的小朋友遇到不開心的東西，依然好滿足，不介意說自己不能上學、失去親人，相比他們，我在香港遇到的其實沒有什麼值得不開心。」
經歷「推動自己做更多」
尼泊爾人對相機都好感興趣，拉著青年使者為他們拍照，曾經為不少尼泊爾人當「攝影師」的羅焯桓說：「當地人見到相機，會笑著想拍一張，拍照後他們看著相機的屏幕，臉上就綻放出燦爛的笑容，但在香港我們見到比自己生活好的人，我們會想超越他，奪走他的東西，為什麼不可接受別人比自己優勝？為什麼要妒忌？」
同樣升讀中五的青年使者朱國豪自言是幸福的一群，「既然自己擁有良好的成長環境，更應去了解別人的生活，想自己可以做什麼」。他自言作為中學生，不能為社會做很多，在當地短暫停留亦無法提供幫助，但他希望，這短暫時間可能足以改變對方的想法，改變對方的未來，回港後將旅程的感受時刻記在心上，讓自己日後有能力時，更懂得回饋社會，「10年後回想這段經驗，會推動自己做更多」。
難忘輟學童念詩介紹自己
在今次的尼泊爾之旅，朱國豪對當地專為輟學學童提供免費教育的Urban Out-of-School感受最深，他憶述，走上當地一幢3層高的樓房，其中一個百多呎的單位就是「School」，當中一名14歲的失學男童，母親死後就被繼母趕出家門淪為街童，不懂英語的他以一首自己寫的尼泊爾語詩歌介紹自己，詩中他自比一輛火車，可以走到無止境的遠，這令朱國豪驚訝又感觸，「沒有想過他能寫這麼好的詩，就算他捱了多少苦，都繼續勇敢生存，如果他有機會讀書的成就可能會很好」。

感受
最近這一個月，很忙。公事、朋友的事、自己的事........
不是沒有值得記下來的事。
但這些事，又未至於去到不吐不快的地步。
有時間的話，我寧願睡覺、看電視，令自己空白。
很久很久以前，我不是這樣的。
忽然想起朋友曾在blog裡談到，不知由何時開始不能表達自己的感受-----因為他似乎開始沒有感受。
我回應說，開始感到麻木也是一種感受。
真正沒有感受的，是死人。
我現在麻木了嗎?
「它」一直都存在。曾經一度，我們走得很近，形影不離。之候發生了很多事。我冷落了它，它也漸漸冷落了我。再見面的時侯，大家都變了-----變成了最熟悉的陌生人。好像有很多話想說，但又不知從何說起。

你好嗎?

千言萬語
作詞:爾英 作曲:古月
不知道為了什麼
憂愁它圍繞著我
我每天都在祈禱
快趕走愛的寂寞
那天起
你對我說
永遠的愛著我
千言和萬語
隨浮雲掠過
不知道為了什麼
憂愁它圍繞著我
我每天都在祈禱
快趕走愛的寂寞

To remember....and to....let go
JACK: Dad?
CHRISTIAN: Hello, Jack.
JACK: I don't understand...you died.
CHRISTIAN: Yeah. Yes I did...
JACK: Then how are you here right now?
CHRISTIAN: How are you here?
JACK: I died too...
CHRISTIAN: It's okay...it's okay. It's okay son.
JACK: I love you, dad.
CHRISTIAN: I love you too, son.
JACK: You...are you real?
CHRISTIAN: I should hope so. Yeah, I'm real. You're real, everything that's ever happened to you is real. All those people in the church...they're real too.
JACK: They're all...they're all dead?
CHRISTIAN: Everyone dies sometime, kiddo. Some of them before you, some...long after you.
JACK: But why are they all here now?
CHRISTIAN: Well there is no "now" here.
JACK: Where are we, dad?
CHRISTIAN: This is the place that you...that you all made together, so that you could find one another. The most...important part of your life, was the time that you spent with these people. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you.
JACK: For what?
CHRISTIAN: To remember...and to...let go.
JACK: Kate...she said we were leaving.
CHRISTIAN: Not leaving, no. Moving on.
JACK: Where we going?
CHRISTIAN [smiling]: Let's go find out.
Toy Stories 3
Watched Toy Stories 3. Personally I like Shrek more. Perhaps I don't really like to play toys when I was a child. Anyway, I like it too.
The movie somehow reminds me what Jack’s father said in the last episode of Lost:
To remember, to let go, and move on.

2009年8月9日
那一天是星期日。上午原本計劃了的事---返教會、打電話給某人-----都沒有做。
沒有做因為當時覺得睡覺比較重要。
下午做了什麼，其實不太記得。應該是做家務、行街、hea.......
臨睡前看了一本亦舒的舊作。內容講一個男人的妻子某天忽然失了縱，在尋人過程中，他才驚覺自己原來不了解她.........
跟平常一樣，當晚大約12點睡覺。
你那天有沒有游水? 做了什麼？想過什麼？
現在呢?

淘寶網買衫
這是我在淘寶網買的第一件衫。連運費不過50元！
其實我很少有目的地買衫，也很少基於需要而買。碰到了喜歡的，才想據為己有。
去淘寶網買衫，純粹好奇，而且，不多不少也受朋友 I 的慫恿。
衣服質料舒服，洗完也沒有走樣，稱得上物超所值。唯一的問題是裙身比想像中短-----都怪我只顧量度三圍，卻忘了留意裙的長度。
其實，我更喜歡這一件。當時為什麼沒有買呢?

Bad Dream
Had a bad dream.
I saw a fat woman, a thin woman............
What the dream had implied was quite obvious.
May be........it’s just an exaggeration of my subconsciousness?
Or may be.........I m actually a bad girl? I m more worse than i thought?

Opinions vs Options
I heard that sth happened to a friend. And for that reason, she seems to ignore all phone calls from friends.
I didn't call her. And I m not planning to.
Sometimes, friends’ opinions are not what we need.
We need options.

浦澤直樹的記憶三部曲
From:
<浦澤直樹的記憶三部曲>
http://allaboutcomics.blogspot.com/2006/07/blog-post.html
經過249回連載，《20世紀少年》終於完結了，單行本相信還要多等數月才能出完。
對於浦澤直樹，與其說是喜歡，不如說是敬佩。看過他的作品，就知道他何被稱為「漫畫大神」，而不是一般的漫畫大師了。是的，日本漫畫界有許多大師了，但沒有太多大神，而漫畫之神，就只有手塚治蟲而己。
拜網絡所賜才能提早窺見結局，然而故事裡有留太多疑團未解，是時候要重看一遍。
早就認定《怪物monster》、《20世紀少年》和《PLUTO》是浦澤直樹苦心經營的記憶三部曲。monster裡的孖生兄妹，生於動盪恐怖的東德時代，來自人體實驗場的兩名倖存者，記憶在不知不覺間crossover，最後不知哪部份才是真實經歷，哪些記憶才屬自己。浦澤似在挑戰「雙胞胎有心靈感應」的傳統智慧，同時提出了自己的見解：人的存在，見證於別人的記憶。手法高明令人嘆為觀止。
《20》則是童年玩伴的集體記憶，小孩子的跨張和天真的本性活現紙上，當遊戲場從童年的基地變成殘酷的社會鬥獸場，一切就變成不好玩了。成年人追憶過去的時光，自然有歪曲、美化、醜化或遺忘，讓故事找到可任意重演或轉變的最佳借口，角色不斷消失又重現，穿梭交錯間有點自圓其說或拖延劇情之嫌。
客觀來說，《20》能再精簡一點就好了，因為到了尾段，有些情節一再重覆，有點像喋喋不休的老人，到最後終結時，又像突然撒手不玩的小孩，這也是作者的手段嗎？
《Pluto》(港譯布魯圖，這個譯名令人倒胃，出版社快改名吧，否則怎買得下手？)講述機械人的鬥爭，連載以來大獲好評，有人甚至拿來跟電影《A.I人工智能》相比，可見劇情的確吸引。《Pluto》改篇自手塚治蟲的名作《小飛俠》的其中一個章節，在漫畫之神的光環下，沒有人敢說此作品能超越前人，但也沒有人認為浦澤較差，箇中答案便隱約可見。
一直以來，人類認為電腦數據較人腦記憶更可靠可信，對機械的崇拜虔誠得像對宗教的迷信，《Pluto》中的機械人卻會丟失記憶，同樣受到失憶和噩夢困擾，這是浦澤對科技的未來的預示嗎？ 從雙胞胎到集體記憶，從人類思想到機械檔案，浦澤在三部作品中，展現出遠大而具深度的視野。
浦澤的作品可談論性尚有許多，出色的漫畫與偉大的文化作品的共通處，就是經得起不同角度的演譯，正如藝術巨匠達文西留給後世的，不是單純的畫作，而是一連串密碼。
敬佩一位人物，除了讚賞和學習外，亦應從對方的言行作出反思和批判。說到底，這是人，而不是神。

Shrek Forever After
Very Good. Very funny. Many scenes make me laugh out loud like a kid. One scene even makes me cry.
Although it’s nothing new, I like how they use the metaphor of kiss here – apart from happy ending, perhaps it’s the most fairytale element in the story.
Again, it’s a movie for adult - a story of a father in his mid-life crisis. Just wonder what would the kids think after watching it.
Long time ago, I watched “Ice Age 2” with a friend’s kid. She laughed happily every time she saw the animal slipped / fell. After the movie, I asked what did she like about this movie, she said she liked ??? (forgot which character) most bcos she liked the way it fell or slipped.
I like gingerbread man. (topic switchs back to Shrek)
Simply bcos.............it’s cute. It makes me smile / laugh even it didn't do anything special.

One of the mysterious case from Fringe
Observers appear at most incidents believed to be connected to The Pattern, or major events of the human history. They do not seem to be involved in the direct cause of any events, but simply observing them.
However, Observer August broked the rules. He kidnapped Christine Hollis, an ordinary 27-year old student in order to save her from a plane crash. He believes Christine is unique and her life should be saved.
"They are all unique. That is not reason to interfere with the course her life was meant to take." To fix such mistake, the other observers decided to send somebody to kill her.
Observer August seeks help from Walter.
“May I ask what’s so important about Miss Hollis?”
“I cannot explain the reason. I merely see it. I have never experienced such certainty. But the others.......they say she’s of no consequence.”
“Well in that case, if you can’t persuade the others of your conviction, you must do something to prove it. You must make her important and of course, whatever you do, you must be prepared to take the consequence. ”
*****************************************************************************************************
Observer August is lying in the back seat of the car. Another Observer is driving.
“Will she be safe now?”
“Who’s she? Why did you save her?”
“I saw her many years ago. She was a child. Her parents have just been killed. She was crying, but she was brave. She crossed my mind. Somehow.......she never left it. I think.........it’s what they call feelings. I think......I love her. Will she be safe now?"
“Yes. You made her important. She’s responsible for the death of one of us.”

巴士站非禮事件
某一晚下班，一個人在巴士站等車，發呆。
突然唇上感到一陣似被橡筋彈到的痛，一回神，眼前一隻大蟲飛過。
以我有限的生物學知識，無法分辨那是什麼昆蟲，只肯定那不是蟑螂。
以我的推理知識........得出的結論是.......我跟一隻昆蟲接吻了！
我不想相信。但這個可能性很高。我得做些什麼。要抹咀！
手袋裡沒有水，也沒有消毒紙巾。找到Lip Balm，在唇上厚厚的搽了一層，再用紙巾抹去。整個過程看似冷靜俐落，其實我怕得要命。如果丈夫在身邊，我可能已經哭了。我本來就很怕各樣昆蟲動物，可愛如玩具貴婦狗，我也不會碰。
可是，我竟然跟一隻昆蟲接吻了！
忽然想起一件好笑的事。
話說 J 有一個朋友，遠遠見到一隻蟑螂向她飛來，驚慌過度，不其然地張大了口。
最恐怖的事情發生了。
那隻蟑螂一支箭似的飛進她咀裡，兜了一圈，又飛出來。
這兩件事的教訓是什麼？
除了帶消毒紙巾之外...........
非必要時，還是盡量閉上你的咀。如果你不想由接吻淪為口交的話。

害怕
歌手：孫燕姿
作曲：深白色
填詞：深白色
編曲：深白色
忘 我沒有很努力要自己去遺忘
那些和日記一起收藏的過往
孤單在思緒之中變得很漫長
想 我沒有很刻意讓自己不去想
那些和照片一起靜止的模樣
我學著堅強 堅強到不用學著不想 學著遺忘
＊還是害怕夜深人靜時總想起你
還是害怕不經意的聽見你的消息
然而當愛已經沉澱得太清晰
當擁有已經是失去 就勇敢的放棄
還是會害怕一個人時就很難忘記
還是害怕突然寧願當初沒有決定
然而當愛最後的出口是分離
我會這麼相信 走下去＊
REPEAT＊
忘 我沒有很努力要自己去遺忘 遺忘

最近這幾天，心情出奇地好。不能歸類為快樂，只是覺得很輕、很舒服......
沒有什麼特別明顯的原因。
真要探究的話，可能是...........天氣晴朗? 吃少了肉? 做多了運動? 工作順利? 睡眠充足? 有錢剩?
希望不是什麼迴光反照，也不是什麼暴風雨前之風平浪靜。

心情
剛從台北回來，人不累，只是有點頭痛，眼睛也間歇性地痛。
到台北第一天我們就吵架。他發完脾氣當晚已沒事，我卻氣得整晚睡不著。氣的不是他不同意我的想法/做法，而是他說話的態度，還有一些沒有根據的指責。
之後兩天相安無事，也有快樂的時侯，但心情已大打折扣。戲未完，角色自然要演下去。角色的心情，不重要。
旅行後，輕了幾磅，黑了一點，多了些照片、書、回憶、林林總總的「戰利品」...........
除此之外，沒有什麼不同。

午飯後喝了一碗中葯。很苦。打開櫃桶，能吃的只有山渣餅。
今天的山渣餅，又殘又蒼白。
「你又失血過多啊? 」

Things I have heard about prayers
“i asked my mum and dad have they at one point believe in god. dad said, when he was studying, they have to pray, except those jews, so he told the teacher he is a jew. dunno if the teacher really think he is or what, the teacher said, i suppose there is chinese jew.”

「你阿爸話你每晚都祈禱喎！」我問朋友五歲的女兒。
「係呀！」
「咁你講D乜?」
「我話：耶穌，我訓覺啦！」
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
「頭先祈禱，我求.........(下刪四十字)......神一定諗，條友仔真係煩，奉獻俾雞碎咁多，仲好意思求咁多野。」
「你奉獻俾多D囉！」
「可唔可以扣稅架?」
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
House: "God talks to him?"
Chase: "It's not psychosis, he's just religious. The only medical issue that showed up on the blood work is low sodium."
House: "No, you talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic."

Cross Game
“人真正死去，是在惦記著那個人的人不在之時呢。”
- Cross Game (Vol. 17)
剛看完Cross Game。
他最後喜歡的，不是跟死去女朋友相似的人，而是跟自己相似的人。
有些故事，結局大概一早已猜到。想看下去，可能只是喜歡故事本身的感覺。

A message
My friend sent me a message yesterday.
She just heard that her husband and her husband’s ex-gf will be working in the same building soon. She worries sth may happen.
I replied her right away. After writing few lines, I deleted everything and sent her one line only:
"Try to make your man happy in bed."

星期六上午
這星期過得很平靜，舒服得幾乎察覺不到自己的存在。
今天要去一趟西環，修理我那部OTO TX-908。巴士經過一個地方，我忍不住望，直至它在我眼前消失。兩滴淚不爭氣地掉了下來。扁嘴都沒用。沒有了就是沒有了。哭了就是哭了。
巴士最遠只去到上環。下車。走了一段路。雖然沒有照鏡，但我的臉應該已被熱浪燻紅。
「請問德輔道西怎去?」我習慣向報販問路。
「你在前面街口搭堅尼地城的電車，一邊留意著街號就行了。」
不知為什麼，我喜歡搭電車。原因可能是有的，但現在不是想這些問題的時候。
星期六上午10時30分某電車上層。很熱。
「喂！」
「什麼?」
「我想肥也有肥的好處。如果我們一起去沙漠，你應該不會那麼容易死掉吧！」
「跟肥有什麼關係?在沙漠，沒有水誰都會渴死哦！」
一陣風吹來。身體的熱度退減了，人卻越來越不冷靜。忽然想起了<色戒>某一幕。
王佳芝也是坐在電車上層。風迎面吹來，她微笑。
在事情未發生前，她是多麼的無牽無掛。快不快樂是一回事。至少沒有牽掛。
回程在金鐘站下車。要去Kiehl's買東西。
「要不要試試玫瑰花味的body lotion? 」
「好。」
「你天天搽body lotion嗎? 」
「不是。通常隔天搽。我懶。」
「還以為你天天都搽。你皮膚很滑喔！」
這算是新的銷售技巧?裝作不經意的稱讚，讓你對她有好感，心甘情願的買多一點?其實我是否也應該以毒攻毒，讚她漂亮又專業，好等她送我多點sample?
最後我買了Gardenia Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion, Lip Balm#1 Pear 和Algae Masque。埋單700多元。當然不是因為她那一句話。這些東西我本來就打算買。買夠600元才有細支裝的護膚品送-----要來7月旅行用的。
上次來金鐘碰見了舊同事。有點懷疑今天也會碰到什麼人。
哎呀！有人叫我的名字。
回頭一看，原來是現在公司同事。因為我乘的扶手電梯向下，她乘的向上，大家打過招呼也就算了。
如果我去了Dan Ryan......
如果我沒有在地鐵站那店舖看飾物.......
我們應該不會碰面。
要發生的，躲也躲不了。

「請問德輔道西怎去?」我習慣向報販問路。
「你在前面街口搭堅尼地城的電車，一邊留意著街號就行了。」
不知為什麼，我喜歡搭電車。原因可能是有的，但現在不是想這些問題的時候。
星期六上午10時30分某電車上層。很熱。
「喂！」
「什麼?」
「我想肥也有肥的好處。如果我們一起去沙漠，你應該不會那麼容易死掉吧！」
「跟肥有什麼關係?在沙漠，沒有水誰都會渴死哦！」
一陣風吹來。身體的熱度退減了，人卻越來越不冷靜。忽然想起了<色戒>某一幕。
王佳芝也是坐在電車上層。風迎面吹來，她微笑。
在事情未發生前，她是多麼的無牽無掛。快不快樂是一回事。至少沒有牽掛。
回程在金鐘站下車。要去Kiehl's買東西。
「要不要試試玫瑰花味的body lotion? 」
「好。」
「你天天搽body lotion嗎? 」
「不是。通常隔天搽。我懶。」
「還以為你天天都搽。你皮膚很滑喔！」
這算是新的銷售技巧?裝作不經意的稱讚，讓你對她有好感，心甘情願的買多一點?其實我是否也應該以毒攻毒，讚她漂亮又專業，好等她送我多點sample?
最後我買了Gardenia Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion, Lip Balm#1 Pear 和Algae Masque。埋單700多元。當然不是因為她那一句話。這些東西我本來就打算買。買夠600元才有細支裝的護膚品送-----要來7月旅行用的。
上次來金鐘碰見了舊同事。有點懷疑今天也會碰到什麼人。
哎呀！有人叫我的名字。
回頭一看，原來是現在公司同事。因為我乘的扶手電梯向下，她乘的向上，大家打過招呼也就算了。
如果我去了Dan Ryan......
如果我沒有在地鐵站那店舖看飾物.......
我們應該不會碰面。
要發生的，躲也躲不了。

糉
我很喜歡吃糉。最瘋狂的時候，可以面不改容地連吃三隻。
今年試了一些以往未嚐過的「品種」。
美心家鄉一品糉：材料和味道都非常豐富。超好吃！
美心海南雞糉：.......還是海南雞飯好吃一點。
美心肉骨茶糉：得個苦字。
等著我的還有媽媽、奶奶、老爺、同事送來的糉..........
現在我最想念的，是只能在銅鑼灣某店鋪買的炒米糉。我想我應該抽不出時間在端午節前買來吃。印象中，除了大閘蟹季節之外，差不多一年四季都有得買。

懸崖
昨天跑步時聽的歌。對我而言，又是新歌。
為了它，我甚至跑多兩圈。現在大腿酸痛死了。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<懸崖 >
作詞：許常德
作曲：季忠平
主唱：齊秦
再一步 愛就要粉身碎骨
墜入 無盡的孤獨
世界太冷酷 夢太投入
早習慣不能回頭的付出
風在哭 當我走到懸崖 停駐
發覺 淚也有溫度
生命太短促 痛太清楚
才讓你 讓我 愛到無退路
我不管愛落向何處
我只求今生今世共度
天已慌 海已枯 心留一片土
連淚水都能灌溉這幸福
我不管愛喪身何處
我只求陪你直到末路
月已殘 燈已盡 夜黑人模糊
這一生因為愛你才清楚
為了它，我甚至跑多兩圈。現在大腿酸痛死了。

迷你裙
試穿了幾條舊牛仔短裙，穿是穿得下，只是由普通短裙變了迷你裙。
想起以前夏天老是背心短裙通街走。有人曾問我為什麼好像未見過我著褲，我想都不用想便答「可以著裙既話點解要著褲」。
現在著裙的機會越來越少，更何況是迷你裙。
「唔准著條裙出街！」他說。
我什都沒有說，但心裡已有了決定。
關於迷你裙..........
“儘管法國設計師 André Courrèges也常被指為是迷你裙的發明人，一般還是將迷你裙的發明歸功於由迷你汽車產生靈感的時尚設計師 Mary Quant。也有些人相信 Helen Rose 為一部1956年的科幻電影 Forbidden Planet 的演員 Anne Francis 製作的迷你裙才是迷你裙的起源。”
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/%E8%BF%B7%E4%BD%A0%E8%A3%99
“說到迷你裙的出現，Mary Quant實在功不可沒。於倫敦King's Road開設Bazaar服裝店的Mary Quant，於一九六五年推出第一條迷你裙，是時尚史上一個重要時刻。Mary Quant亦表明迷你裙不但是時裝的一種演變，更標示着女生追求自由主義的一場革命。”

Influence
A friend once asked me if there were any sayings or ideas that influenced me a lot.
At that time, my answer was:
“I would say 亦舒. She makes me think that woman should have her style, be independent & strong.
There’s no particular saying that makes me totally change. Apart from 亦舒, may be the idea of god, heaven & hell, karma influenced me a lot. That makes me want to be a nice & kind person. But I cannot tell whether I was born to be nice, or I believe in a reward & punishment mechanism by an unseen power so I act good. And I believe everything happens for a reason, may be it’s a result of what u did, or it’s teaching u a lesson. (u must think I m saying rubbish). What i m saying is, i tend to find the reasons on everything happened on me, otherwise they are meaningless and so as my life. ”
What would be my answer now?
I can name a number of incidents ......but I cant recall any single saying / idea that influenced me most. Nothing special. Nothing new.
Somehow........this question reminds me a line from 《亞特蘭提斯之謎》:
“與其走一條別人都認為對的路，不如走一條就算錯了自己也不會後悔的路”
It should be the best statement to sum up how I live so far.

Empty Myself Exercise
I was trying to do some “Empty Myself Exercise” this week. Just want to feel blank & want some comfortable silence in my brain.
I tried to watch掌上明珠 & 談情說案. After a while, I found the “Empty Myself Exercise” turned into some “Annoy Myself Exercise”. I gave up.
Read some magazine bought by my husband. I m not interested in most of the news, finished them in an hour.
Did some exercises at home........those help u to sleep better & make your muscle firm. I feel ok.......and tired.
I even tried to play pacman........
What next? Bible reading? Pray to God? Listen to some classical music?

Oxford Tradition Comes to This: ‘Death’ (Expound)
By SARAH LYALL
Published: May 27, 2010
The New York Times
OXFORD, England — The exam was simple yet devilish, consisting of a single noun (“water,” for instance, or “bias”) that applicants had three hours somehow to spin into a coherent essay. An admissions requirement for All Souls College here, it was meant to test intellectual agility, but sometimes seemed to test only the ability to sound brilliant while saying not much of anything.
“An exercise in showmanship to avoid answering the question,” is the way the historian Robin Briggs describes his essay on “innocence” in 1964, a tour de force effort that began with the opening chords of Wagner’s “Das Rheingold” and then brought in, among other things, the flawed heroes of Stendhal and the horrors of the prisoner-of-war camp in the William Golding novel “Free Fall.”
No longer will other allusion-deploying Oxford youths have the chance to demonstrate the acrobatic flexibility of their intellect in quite the same way. All Souls, part of Oxford University, recently decided, with some regret, to scrap the one-word exam.
It has been offered annually since 1932 (and sporadically before that) as part of a grueling, multiday affair that, in one form or another, has been administered since 1878 and has been called the hardest exam in the world. The unveiling of the word was once an event of such excitement that even non-applicants reportedly gathered outside the college each year, waiting for news to waft out. Applicants themselves discovered the word by flipping over a single sheet of paper and seeing it printed there, all alone, like a tiny incendiary device.
But that was then. “For a number of years, the one-word essay question had not proved to be a very valuable way of providing insight into the merits of the candidates,” said Sir John Vickers, the warden, or head, of the college.
In a university full of quirky individual colleges with their own singular traditions, All Souls still stands out for the intellectual riches it offers and the awe it inspires. Founded in 1438 and not open to undergraduates, it currently has 76 fellows drawn from the upper echelons of academia and public life, most admitted on the strength of their achievements and scholarly credentials.
Previous fellows include Sir Isaiah Berlin, Sir Christopher Wren, William Gladstone and T. E. Lawrence (of Arabia). Hilaire Belloc and John Buchan are said to have failed to get in. In recent years, fellows have included a Nobel Prize winner, several cabinet members, a retired senior law lord and a lord chancellor.
In addition, two young scholars are chosen each year from among Oxford students who graduated recently with the highest possible academic results. Called examination fellows, they get perks including room and board, 14,783 pounds (about $21,000) a year for a seven-year term and the chance to engage in erudite discussions over languorous meals with the other fellows.
But first they have to take the exam. It consists of 12 hours of essays over two days. Half are on the applicants’ academic specialties, the other half on general subjects, with questions like: “Do the innocent have nothing to fear?” “Isn’t global warming preferable to global cooling?” “How many people should there be?” and the surprisingly relevant, because this is Britain: “Does the moral character of an orgy change when the participants wear Nazi uniforms?”
Those are daunting enough. But it is the one-word-question essay (known simply as “Essay”) that candidates still remember decades later. Past words, chosen by the fellows, included “style,” “censorship,” “charity,” “reproduction,” “novelty,” “chaos” and “mercy.”
It was not a test for everyone.
“Many candidates, including some of the best, seemed at a loss when confronted with this exercise,” said Mr. Briggs, a longtime teacher of modern history at Oxford.
Others found it exhilarating. “Brilliant fun,” a past applicant named Matthew Edward Harris wrote in The Daily Telegraph recently, recalling his 2007 essay, on “harmony.”
He had resolved, he said, that “No matter what word I was given, I would structure my answer using Hegel’s dialectic.” And then, like a chef rummaging through the recesses of his refrigerator for unlikely soup ingredients, he added a discussion of Kant’s categorical imperative and an analysis of the creative tensions among the vocalists in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (he didn’t get in).
The writer Harry Mount, an Oxford graduate and the author of “Carpe Diem: Put a Little Latin in Your Life,” didn’t get in, either. His essay, in 1994, was on “miracles.”
What was in it?
“Crying Madonnas in Ireland, that sort of thing,” Mr. Mount said. “And the battle between faith and cynicism. I was a cynic and didn’t believe in miracles, and perhaps that was bad. I had just read about Karl Popper and his theory of falsification, so I threw in a bit about that.”
Justin Walters, the founder and chief executive of Investis, an online corporate communication service company, said that writing his essay, on “corruption,” was not half as bad as the oral exam several weeks later, conducted by a long row of fellows peering across a table.
“ ‘Mr. Walters, you made some very interesting distinctions in your essay. Are you prepared to defend it?’ ” he remembered one of the fellows asking. Unfortunately, he had only a vague recollection of what he had written. “You’re the teacher — you figure it out,” he recalled thinking. (He must have done something right: he got in.)
Sir John, the current college warden, has worked as the Bank of England’s chief economist and been president of the Royal Economic Society, among other jobs. He draws a self-protective veil over the memory of his own essay, in 1979, on “conversion.”
“I do shudder at the thought of what I must have written,” he said.

Justin Walters, the founder and chief executive of Investis, an online corporate communication service company, said that writing his essay, on “corruption,” was not half as bad as the oral exam several weeks later, conducted by a long row of fellows peering across a table.
“ ‘Mr. Walters, you made some very interesting distinctions in your essay. Are you prepared to defend it?’ ” he remembered one of the fellows asking. Unfortunately, he had only a vague recollection of what he had written. “You’re the teacher — you figure it out,” he recalled thinking. (He must have done something right: he got in.)
Sir John, the current college warden, has worked as the Bank of England’s chief economist and been president of the Royal Economic Society, among other jobs. He draws a self-protective veil over the memory of his own essay, in 1979, on “conversion.”
“I do shudder at the thought of what I must have written,” he said.

新歌
最近多了點時間，開始找些新歌聽。
ipod 播來播去都是那幾首，聽得人有點厭煩。
這都是我最近喜歡的「新歌」。
聽歌聽得多了，會很想去唱K。
正如咸片看多了，自然有打飛機的衝動。
*********************************************************************************
<我恨我愛你>
作曲:陳達偉
填詞:鄭淑妃
面帶微笑離開你懷裡 我聽天由命
最後一張王牌在手裡 二選一的機率
不能放縱愛你 就放過自己
愛情已經過了甜蜜期 多說也是無益
愛不愛我已經沒關係 一點小傷而已
你可以很放心 我不會為了留你假裝可憐兮兮
都怪我太不爭氣 我恨我愛你
Oh~ 我愛你 只是因為你是你
Oh~ 我恨你
你有我看也看不清的小聰明
你有我說也說不完的壞脾氣
你有我數也數不盡你的新戀情
沒關係
我有你拿也拿不走的舊回憶
我可以一個人安靜的忘記你
我恨你最後那一句 我愛你
<知己>
作詞：易桀齊
作曲：饒善強
還好變成了知己
起碼隨時看到你
哭泣或歡天喜地
可以陪你
讓這個故事繼續
結局我們都如此好奇
肯定可以一起有驚喜
魔力或奇蹟
讓它隨意上映
可惜不能靠得太近但仍心存感激
好散好聚我們都慶幸
一時很難去解釋這樣微妙的距離
也許我們都很滿意
感情是我們一向來很尊重的事情
現在就緊緊的維繫彼此關係
長大了也許對於某種感動的東西
一點點都珍惜
還好變成了知己
起碼隨時看到你
哭泣或歡天喜地
可以陪你
是沒有差到哪裡
相處的還算和氣
就差那一句
我愛你
可惜不能靠得太近但仍心存感激
好散好聚我們都慶幸
一時很難去解釋這樣微妙的距離
也許我們都很滿意
感情是我們一向來很尊重的事情
現在就緊緊的維繫彼此關係
長大了也許對於某種感動的東西
一點都珍惜
都得來不易
比如像你
