入睡前

在床上躺下。只是已躺了好一會,太早,睡不着。拿起iPod,又來到這兒,寫寫畫畫。有許多工作,我卻是想放一個假。或者不該等到二月,要嘛就襯summer school開學前放假去。

讓我考慮一下。

再晤哈爾

約了哈爾會面,十時半,我跟華納赴會。是個。。。很重要的約會,我想了很多。

大概,影響了我們往後的事情。

 

要說一說,有些時情永遠不會變。他又是遲到,還要很有型的進場:駕著電單車,向我們坐近的落地玻璃衝過來忽停。我看著他,對華納說:如我所料,Grand entrance,一貫的態度呢。(笑)

談了些甚麼,不便在這說明了。

使徒來襲

蝦,我肯定今次唔係我第二次睇Eva。睇咗幾集,喺度諗:如果Eva係戲或者劇集,唔係卡通,咁真係拍得好好。我唔係講啲特技效果,係講story telling嘅元素。

第三使徒係最靚嘅(唔好同渚薰比丫),我最鍾意:

團契

看電郵時見到S小姐說今晚要來,於是我便弄了西米露,有士多啤梨的。

六個人玩波子棋,非常搞笑。人性的表現,就在遊戲中,哈哈。

嘻嘻哈哈又過了一個晚上。

沒甚麼

我想。。。甚至不知在想甚麼。還在公司,不是在工作,但不想回家。

只是不想回家而已。

有點討厭。

三週年

三週年,我們外出去吃了餐飯,其實沒甚麼特別,只是吃了餐飯,但很好哦~我幫壽司們影了些相呢。。。對,自從有新相機後,我有點變態。


看上去很好吃吧!飯後回了家,王子外出跑步,我去超市買東西。回來後我看EVA,他彈Base打機睡覺。生活一樣的平靜,一樣的平靜。這樣也很好。說真的,其實昨天我心情不太好,公司有點事情令我浮躁,夜晚回到家又有別的叫我煩擾。有點諸事不順的感覺,所以平靜的過一天,感覺倒是最好的。

說起來好笑,前一天說起,我們竟一起忘了上年週年是怎樣過的。及後才記起,那時我們在香港,到山頂去了。 哎呀,還真過份啊。(笑)

Tim Burton's Gallery

While Tim is having his exhibition in MoMA, I am mucking around in Time Burton's Gallery online.

Tim Burton's Gallery Entrance

So where should I go first? Let's check out the Public Gallery.

How can you not love Time Burton? Even the website is too cool!

Now, WHY THE BOOK IS SO EXPENSIVE!!!!

Do to the others

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you”

Guess we naturally do to the others what we want people do to us. Sometimes we fail, sometimes other reasons change our natural behaviours, nevertheless generally we do have the tendency. Like, we love people who we want to be loved by, we put our eyes on people who we want to be looked at. The things make us feel being loved, we manifest that onto people we love.

Just an example.

When I am down, or upset, or frustrated, or I need a sign of love, or I need to be spoiled, or I need to be told it’s okay, or I want to be cared, or I need comfort… I like to be patted.

So when I pat you, you know what it means.

一萬年

圍著飯桌坐的人想起的都是周星馳,我這個剛看完重慶森林的人,想的卻是金城武。

 

我甚麼也沒說。

幾件

這幾天,我在思考。不知不覺,為要與人融和,又或是讓人覺得可以溝通,我們都或多或少塑造了內外。有時,我也想任性的說出真相:今天我喜歡不等於明天我喜歡、我好奇純粹是因為我好奇、說多餘的話只是想跟對方說話、沒有回應未必代表沒聽進去、看起來興致缺缺大概是真的沒興趣。。。還有,我是十二分認真的對它們和牠們說話。

只是這樣而已。

衰退

十一時許,在床上。身為現代科技產品的奴才,手拿著iPod touch,躺下躲在被單裏,睡不着。

說起上來,「裏」字和「着」字,不知怎麼廣東話拼音永遠不會出現。久而久之,便給「裡」和「著」代替了,然而書寫時我還是寫「裏」和「着」的。其實我已忘了哪個是哪個,有甚麼分別。噢,是的,我從來不寫「什麼」,一定是「甚麼」,因為腦子裏「什」是讀「雜」,是「牛什」。

文化倒退,文化倒退。除了懂得「咄咄逼人」的「咄」是「奪」陰平聲(第一聲),我甚麼都不懂。上一次便說過看「秦俑」一書,許多字它們認得我,我不認得它們。現在更經常執筆忘字,「俑」字我也想了一會才記得怎樣寫,那是長期打廣東話以致的無能吧。

是該多寫幾只字的。

重慶森林

由阿武碰倒阿菲開始,重慶森林進入了第二段。這是我喜歡的一段,應該說是王家衛戲的裡我最喜歡的故事,純粹是個人喜好,沒有可歌可泣的偉大理由。或者,是我一樣有著這樣的。。。執著/浪漫/問題/病態。。。Obsession。當然,那個是王菲,當然是沒問題了。就如我們討論所說,梁朝偉是stalker,也會是不同待遇。

順道一題,人家周小姐實在是太索了。我只是不喜歡她的樣子,太姣 - 不過某人說姣不是壞事。我也不是說是壞事,只是不喜歡而已。

My 20091121

Today is a complete relax day for me. Finally.

I woke up before 7 this morning. It’s too early, so I started watching Chungking Express.



I couldn’t finish it this morning because…

Esquires

Later Little Prince left Botany. He went to Church for hymn practice. I stayed for quite a while, walked around (okay, I did spend money) and about 3pm…

The weather was so fine and I’m glad, mainly because Timothy fellowship was having BBQ today and weather is always the key element for a good BBQ gathering. Nevertheless, good weather favours me as well. So this is what I have been doing till… just now:

Just found out I am a bit too white/pale, so I should sit more under the sun. Summer is coming, guys, let’s get out and have more outdoor activities please!

Dinner time. Will finish Chungking Express later tonight.

I’m in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-GlassAt last, after three weeks of consideration, I bought the book. Although I am still reading this, I may start this one as well, read both at the same time. I know, I said I am not going to buy any new book till I have finished all the unfinished ones, but you can see how attractive it is, right?  And I never own an English version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and I never have Through the Looking-Glass. And you see the design… wow, so pretty! You see the flamingos? They are calling me!

So the book is here now on my desk. I have time tonight, let me start reading it.

By the way, recently I am spending quite a long time to make decisions, no matter big or small. There are two possibilities: one, getting old, two, growing cautious, while either indicates I am no longer fifteen years old… okay, I should at least say twenty, but you get what I mean. I am not sure whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, or, maybe there’s no good or bad for things like this -  I am thinking too much.

P.S. One of my favourite online photo albums: Alice in Waterland by Elena Kalis.

臨行

以諾過兩天便隨Student Life到泰國宣教,行程約為六星期。我們剛去了他們的聚會,大概類似是差遣禮。看這個大孩子有這樣的心志,即便離家月多往文化差異那麼大的地方去傳福音,不期然讓我想起今天早時所思索的。目標也好,意義也好,當然世上沒有人的話則甚麼都是虛無;但既然我們已經存在,有些目標還是比其他的有意義,就是說有些人生還是比別的有意義。所以「目標」和「意義」這樣的東西,於我們短促並飄渺的人生中還是存在的。

說回以諾。看着他和以琳長大了這麼多,實在令人感觸不已。Yellow Panda時琳琳還太年幼,今天卻不費勁就使小王子上氣不接下氣的回來。以諾大概已穿不上Yellow Panda的制服了,哈哈。

真好呢,我很高興。

幾近家常的隨便說說

十一月十七日。時而晴,時而陰,卻沒有下雨。像最近的生活一般。有些事情叫人沮喪,有些事情叫人開懷,只是無論哪個都不是大風浪,乃幾近家常的起伏而已。人生,大致是如此吧。生存有沒有目標?人存在有沒有意義?我一直想不通。或者存在本來不是講究有沒有意思的,只不過閒時沒事做的我們,要考慮人生的意義才覺得該生存下去。窮得生存也要很努力的人,才不需要目標和意義。

平凡得可以多愁善感,大概是最奢侈的一種。所以,我們都很過份的了。看我自己,這個不滿,那個不對;這個壞我心情,那個惹我討厭;今天下雨便覺得豁達不來,明天工作忙便埋怨閒暇不足;日前稍有不順叫我自閉幾天,日後有點壓力叫我脾氣不好。看電影又哭,看書又哭。。。那還不是慣壞了?奢侈得不能再奢侈。

說是這樣說,最多愁善感的我,還是多愁善感。

Pace

Last week sermon said you can go at your own pace, but when people expectation does not match with your pace and no one understand the pace you can take, then what?

If you had a year

"If you had a year to live, what would you do?"

Some people may write down a list of things they want to do, some people may say they would behave normal. First thing came up in my mind was commit suicide. Not really because I don't bother to wait, but counting down is such a mental destruction. One year is not long but not that short. It would be too hard to go through 365 days of count down. During that period of time, pessimistic people like me, would have been hurting everyone around me. Why be a nightmare of people for one whole year, if I can die now and give them peace.

Of course, if now I was told I had a year to live, I would probably stay alive - for all sorts of reasons. If I would be staying alive for this one year, I may as well make the best out of it anyway. So maybe I would quit my job and help people as much as I can. I would need to get myself straight into this mood after I had known there's one year, cannot waste time on crying about it or doubting about it.

Well people say you should live everyday as you are going to die soon because none of us know when we'd be gone and it can be tomorrow. It's true that we don't know, but doesn't imply we should live best out of everyday so we are ready to die at anytime. Knowing your date ahead is a completely different mentality. Knowing I may die anytime is different from knowing I am going to die tomorrow. Like buying lotto (and I have never bought one), knowing you may win the lotto is different from knowing I will for sure get $1000 tomorrow: you go on as normal and dream a bit for the previous and plan to do something with the later.

畫架

自從上次畫畫一天使腰骨痛了許久後,我不太敢在檯上畫大畫。一直想買個畫架,只是它們都很昂貴。適逢聖誕減價,或者是買禮物給自己的好時機。等今個月出糧再考慮一下吧!

村上春樹

突然想起村上春樹。不,我沒看過村上春樹,也不怕被人笑的說:我沒興趣看村上春樹。某天有人跟我說起村上春樹,我不記得他說甚麼,大概是說青少年時有裝酷說自己喜歡看村上春樹的男生,或者不是裝酷,但就是差不多意思吧。聽著一個說自己喜歡村上春樹的人這樣說,還真有點好笑,於是便笑指對方說:你就是這樣的人吧。

說對《挪威的森林》一點興趣也沒有,倒不是真的因為它很厚,因為其實一點也不厚,印象中比《黒革の手帖》薄,大概是《砂の器》或《冰點》的厚度。沒興趣純粹是題材,我是一個非常狹隘的人,來來去去都是看那幾類書,所以倒是有興趣看《世界末日與冷酷異境》。

只是突然想起而已,沒甚麼特別。

This is the smart video i was talking about.

After work…

We ended work at about 4:00pm, and my flight was 6:00pm, so I did have a bit of time to walk around the city before I get onto a cab. The Central Library is ginormous!!!! Too bad I did not have enough time to visit it. Same for the Gallery and Museum.

At the Civic Centre, there is a metallic ball high up in the sky. Okay, I mean a piece of art. It’s very funny in photos because you cannot see the strings holding up the ball. It seems like it is floating in mid-air, haha.

See the Gallery with colourful dots on an old style building! I love it, it’s so pretty!

In between work…

Wellington is an interesting place, that all the houses are on hills. That’s my first impression when I get off the plane. We went to Little Indian for lunch, then they drove me around Waterfront and took me up to Mt. Victoria Lookout, and we took pictures, like tourists. Well, I was a tourist. This is my first time visiting Wellington outside its airport.

After that we back to work, of course! You thought I was there for fun? :D

Before work…

This is the street I was on: Willis Street. I was amazed by the buses picking up electricity – yes, sorry, I didn’t know that before I visited Wellington! It’s cool, but the downside is those electric lines look terrible in the city, there are too many of them.

Before I went to the client, I bought a coffee from this coffee shop named “Meow” – ya, that’s the reason I went into this coffee shop but not the others on the same street. By the way, there are many one way streets in Wellington city centre.
