廿三日

零九年是小產量的一年,我是指這個網誌裡的文。原來更少,還不是靠我這兩個月來催谷一下產量,才接近三百這個數值,其中還有不少是一句起兩句止,拿大圖片來充一充數。

上年聖誕,我是大病在家死死的沉睡,希望今年可以健健康康的渡過。

上年十二月廿三日是下雨的,今天密雲。

今天我在我的網誌搜尋一些蛛絲馬跡,想看看,那是,何時開始的。

二零零九一二二零遊街望燈看樹狂拍照

昨晚一行六人往Ponsonby去看燈色和那棵樹,因為小王子的弟弟沒有去過。這次我影少了相,主要是因為人太多,不方便。那次是十二月七日,還早;這次近聖誕,真的有很多人在街上。大概有很多人已開始放假了,所以便攜同小孩出來看燈色。

 

雖然我不是拍了很多,但小王子的弟弟拿了我的相機,給師父影了很多相。。。當然我沒有放出來了,大都是些無聊的照片。拍照的過程倒是充滿趣味性的,是一段快樂時光。全晚最恐怖的,大概是他巧合地攝了這張師父跟燈光溶合了的照片。。。

好恐怖哦~~~~~靈異照哦~~~~~kaos-cactus15

有關孖條...

孖條孖條的正確吃法,是買兩對孖條,急速的把一對的左邊吃掉,又急速的把另一對的右邊吃掉。然後把剩下的其一遞給心儀的女孩,以博紅顏一笑,讚你"mit"孖條"mit"得咁叻咁整齊。

切記,切記。

渴睡的礁湖

突然想起《朝花夕拾》,記得數年前自己寫過這麼的一篇,這時候翻看這舊文,心上竟有點哽咽。這是最動容的愛情故事,多年來再沒有遇上一個更叫我心悸的。

隨便看一看近書末的一段。陸宜回到未來,找大愛梅說往事。方太太怎樣、方先生怎樣、方先生的妹妹怎樣。。。說著說著,陸宜想哭也不得在媽面前哭出來,只得把淚吞下。問到了老方的墓址,立刻起來出去。

      “ 她還是把墓址告訴我了。
        我是即刻去的。
        感覺上總以為他剛落葬,其實已有四十餘年,墓木已拱。
        青石板上全是青苔,墓碑字跡已經模糊。
        我手籟籟的抖,蹲下去,伸手摸索。上面寫著方中信字樣,一九五五——一九八八。
        旁邊還有一行小字,慢著,是什麼,我把臉趨向前去看,這一看之下,三魂不見了七魄,原來碑上刻著:宜,我永遠愛你。
        方知道我會找到這裡,他知道我會看到這行字,他知道。
        我額角頂著清涼的石碑,號陶大哭起來。
        我是不得不回來,我是不得不走,我們是不得不拆散。
        我今生今世,被汝善待過愛護過,於念已足。
        我淚如雨下。
        在這偏僻的墓地,也無人來理我,我躲在樹蔭底下,不知哭了多久,只覺得氣促頭昏,四肢無力,也不願站起來走。世界雖大,彷彿沒有我容身之地,沒有方中信帶領我,我不知何去何從。 跪在石板地上,直至膝頭發麻,天色暗下來,我不得不定。 而且還不能把悲傷太露,以免被人知道我的秘密。”

。。。

走走走,你們都去看一遍《朝花夕拾》再回來。

二零零九十二十九臨近聖誕燒烤飛碟大集會

星期六下午,我們去某人的家舉行西式燒烤。燒烤當然好,尤其是不用自己燒也有得食的時候 - 說是這樣說,港式的話,我還是比較喜歡自己燒,甚至喜歡燒多過食。原意是我準備肉要S小姐弄冷的,但她竟覺得準備肉比較容易,於是就倒轉了工作。我還是認為準備肉較艱辛,S小姐做得很好呢。。。就是和平常一樣:多了點吧。XD

看這位兄台、S小姐、K小姐和F小姐那麼努力的在燒,我很感動。對,都是女的在燒,非常別開生面。據說不是男士們不願幫忙,只是在意欲伸出援手之際給罵走了,只好去玩frisbee

 

這是要一腳踏在泳池邊的橙色階磚上的死亡遊戲,結果都沒有人下水。老實說,我很失望,非常失望。壞心眼的我當然是想看人狼狽的樣子,難不成你以為他們的frisbee技術很好,很值得看嗎?

 

吃飽後我們轉移陣地到比較安全的地方繼續。我玩了一會,就給人指示去拿相機影相了(大概是我太差了吧)。看著他們玩,我也很開心。

 
 

初時多雲,越近傍晚,天色越好。看天有多藍,甚麼都漂亮。說時說,我也是有拋過frisbee的,不要以為我只是行行企企,有相為證。(大概我的動作不太pro。。。)

回到屋子裡清潔、洗碗、吃魚生,然後終於再見著我四個月前送的生日禮物。主人家放了John ColtraneA Love Supreme。我聽完了一邊,但不敢碰它,所以沒有轉去另一邊。聽著聽著,一手掃了唱盤蓋上的塵。我沒有坐下來,因為那張疑似是椅子的東西太不舒服了。結果我走到窗旁向外邊望,一手撥弄著巧的線,也有點封塵的感覺。巧,你好可憐呢,被打入冷宮了麼。

John_Coltrane-A_Love_Supreme

聽完應該很快樂,A Love Supreme嘛。我卻是有點藍的走出房,把門關上。然後加入了Compatibility,看著Charlie Brown和朋友們過聖誕。其實我的心哪,完全沒有在玩呢,都在看電視。

最後電視看完,聖誕歌也聽了,遊戲也玩完,眾人便起程回家。

那夜我還是十二時多才去睡。

Colour Manual!

image4th Christmas pressie, from hubby~ :) He gave me a camera, I thought Christmas pressie was counted as part of it, but he bought me something else today. It’s good. I always want a colour manual, just couldn’t find a good one. I am happy, this one looks really cool~

P.S. It says “Colour”, not “Color”! It’s a UK book, not US!

任性

這個題目,是由以下這段對話引起的:

上次子慧在澳洲,所以當寧來紐時她也一起來了。這次她回加拿大了,當然不是那麼容易飛過來啦。老祖又要教狗,未能被我們拐帶過來。。。

然而重點不在這個。重點是說起任性這個問題,以致老祖說了這件陳年舊事,我也差點忘了。話說有天我不知做了些甚麼,總之就是不乖了,爸媽便把我留在家,不和我出去,只帶了弟弟和Yaya(即我們的菲籍保母)。心有不忿的我,決定拿螺絲刀出來拆了大門。結果家的大木門是給我拆了,但我也被打個半死(其實是很常發生的結果)。

大概我是非常任性,非常「硬頸」,非常妒忌,破壞性也非常強。這麼多年,就是這些沒怎麼變,只是內斂點而已。

When FFXIII comes out…

I walked into the lunch room. The guys were around the round table talking.

Stephen said, “I think I am going to take a week off when Final Fantasy comes out aye.”

“WHAT?!” I said.

Hugh opened his mouth, “Yeah. I may do that too.”

“WHAT?!” I said.

Stephen responded, “You know my friend has scheduled two weeks leave when he found out World of Warcraft is releasing an expansion pack aye.”

“Yeah, we are mad, Jacqui, we are mad.” said Hugh.

My Tree 2009

My Tree 2009 My Tree 2009

We went to the Telecom Tree last Monday. How many of us?...1,2,3,4,5,6,7... ya, seven. That's because 1) It's a cool tree, love seeing lights, and 2) I had designed my tree and a friend of mine had designed his, and both of ours are showing on the 7th December 2009 between 9:45-10:00pm. It was quite hard to figure out which design was mine, you know, all of them look quite similar, and each design only be shown once and short, and there was no indication for who created the design. Anyway. Today I received an email from Telecom Tree Team, and here's my tree.

Do you like my tree?

二零零九十二十二聖誕聯誼聯歡亂搞笑

是一個頗搞笑的聖誕聚會,其實也有很久我們沒有做這麼傻的事情了。然而愈是笑得多的聚會,過後的空虛感總是愈強  -  這只是題外話,派對嘛,還是開心的。其實影了許多相,但大部份都是不能給很多人看的,所以考慮過後決定不放上Facebook了。這裡倒是沒關係,因為來這裡的來來去去都是那幾個人,十個指頭也數得出誰是誰呢。

我真的好喜歡這張相,攝影師也喜歡,就是男主角不滿意,嫌自己太可愛。無奈,無奈。

一臉迷惘的鹿也很可愛呢。

 
 

E先生有些很搞笑的相,但還是不宜外洩,無謂嚇到人啦, 哈哈~還是最後貼兩張大合照,比較。。。正經,屬於可以「見光」的類別:

我還錄下了三個videos,全都是不能見光的,只好留給我自己為紀念。有空拿出來翻看,笑一個半個晚上吧。

Superpower

If I say, now I have the ability to feel the mood of certain people through internet wires (or wireless), especially through facebook profile page and MSN chat windows... does that count as a superpower ability?

Maybe not.

2009 Olympic Software Christmas Party

Oops, my laptop is dirty because previously I was cooking and facebooking at the same time. Anyway. That’s not important. So today was our Christmas Party! This year it’s a bit different, as it happened in our own warehouse instead of somewhere out there, which is good. More freedom, and better food, because we are cooking our own food and there are a lot of very talented people. The only not-so-good thing this year was… NO Helium balloons! Which means we cannot do cartoon voice this year. Well, someone would probably say I can do cartoon voice anytime anyway without the help of helium.

Of course I have taken heaps of photos! But not just me, Ivy ad Fiora did the same thing with their camera. Hugh picked up Ivy camera later and was shooting every minute. See, I am not alone. Not going to put all these photos here because a lot of them are in facebook already. Except, I didn’t put up one I had my Santa Crocs on.

I really like this one, me and my brother. We are both smiling in this photo. I love it. Do we look alike in any way? I am prettier for sure though, no doubt~ :P

It was a very good Christmas Party. Everyone’s happy. :)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

It's summer, so I have decided to post Sonnet 18 here:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

–William Shakespeare

Now only Mr. Shakespeare can tell whether this sonnet was written for Mr. W. H. or for a woman. :P

Summer Positivity

I love summer, really really love summer. Today is one of those typical Auckland summer day: hot, sunny, a bit of wind, a bit of cloud. 24.5°C now. Nice weather for sitting outside.

Yet, I am in the office. It was so tempting that I went out earlier today. Just stood under the sun and took a few stupid photos outside Olympic Software's building. You can tell from the concrete floor.

I have been taking so many photos with my new camera lately. You know, I never want to take amazing photos and I never into photoshop too (P.S. I know, CS3, I know. It doesn't work by the way). I just want to capture moments, and things, happening in life. Maybe my silly actions, maybe my friends' funny faces, maybe some interesting moments. Love moves me, and I believe all of these are out of love, love towards things and people.

From what I am writing here now, you can tell that I am in a positive mood today. Last night, I wasn't, because I had been forced to do something I was very very reluctant to do. Not that I can't do it, just didn't want to do. I was so frustrated as people all seemed to think I wasn't really reluctant to do it. Nevertheless, look at today's weather, and tomorrow we are having Christmas party in the warehouse at the back of our office. Isn't that nice? I am happy.

Was planning to watch a movie tonight, but I need to make pasta salad for tomorrow party, so I guess I have to skip the movie. Maybe tomorrow if we have no fellowship tomorrow night. I want to watch Where the Wild Things Are.

Tonight I am going to finish Through the looking Glass. Then I can start my new books. You may wonder what take me so long to read a book... well, as I mentioned previously, I have too many alternatives to do in my daily life, and fail to commit some time to read my books everyday. And it is undeniable that I read English books much slower than Chinese books... except textbooks, because I cannot understand Chinese textbooks at all.

Just want to say, I love summer.

Apology

Sorry if any one of you hates me changing my template all the time... :P

抵步

爸媽回來了。一大早上班前我去了機場接他們回家,家裡那頭貓開心得想哭。

嘩~書店姐姐除了「某東西」外還送了個杯給我!!可以當是聖誕禮物嗎?那是「小喬」杯哦~~~小喬有兩隻貓呢!講多無謂,回家貼張相出來。嗚嗚,好感動呢。。。
IMG_0864 

媽帶回了無數的衣服給我。那是因為我有個年年換季的二嬸,非常幸福,我都不用怎樣買衣服呢。

終極版也到手了。

《大江大海一九四九》和《世界末日與冷酷異境》也到手了。我也差不多看完《Through the Looking Glass》,剛剛好。啊~~~我實在有太多娛樂了,又戲又書又打機(昨日拿了SIMS 3出來)又結他。。。有時我也會一邊看戲一邊彈結他,不過還是該減少打機。。。
IMG_0866 

唉,許久沒畫畫。。。

08 December 2009

唔睇咪徙晒!

家中有很多戲未看,多得有點過份。寫張清單出來,想想該看哪齣先好:

  • Marie Antoinette (2006) : 和What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)一起收的聖誕禮物,據說「衫好靚」,我也想看看有多「靚」,希望看時會有點儀態,不要流出口水來就好。
  • Volver (2006) : 趁低給納,在架上。
  • Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) : 本來我是沒有打算看這齣戲的,不過減價時買了。
  • Love Actually (2003) : 我大概是少數未看過這齣戲的吧。。。擁有好一段時間,就是沒有拿出來看,也不知道為甚麼。
  • The Devil Wears Prada (2006) : 這套也是有點奇怪。我一直想看,所以買了,就是到現在還沒有看。
  • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) : 明明電影院上畫時很想去看,到出了DVD很想買,又嫌貴。跌破十元關口時買了,卻過了幾個月都未拿出來看。真神奇。
  • Babí léto (2001)
  • 71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls (1994)
  • Italianetz (2005)

借了Okuribito (2008)也未看。。。

還有些可能一直都不會看。。。

  • The Pursuit of Happiness (2006) : 不是我買的。
  • Amazing Grace (2006) : 也不是我買的。
  • Brokeback Mountain (2005) : 我一點也沒印象是不是我買的。但我到現在都沒有興趣看。。。
  • 色,戒 (2007) : 提起李安,我才想起,《色,戒》在我的櫃上這麼久,還是未看。。。
  • Cinderella Man (2005) : 是我買的,但是我買給小王子看的,沒太大興趣。

Early Merry Christmas 2009

Merry Christmas, my dear mates.

It wasn’t a good day on the 7th Dec 2009, but ended up very well.

更蠢

更蠢的事繼續發生,拿出結他時給小月的線頭勾到我的手臂,以為只是小小痛,原來流血了還不知道,過了許久才發現。所以呢,要多蠢可以有多蠢。

看著右腳兩三處瘀痕,完全想不到何時碰到的。無奈,無奈。

03 December 2009

再起動

久別了一季的爬石團昨晚又再出動,夏季算是已經開始,雖然這兩天都是雨天。無奈我的手臂有少許痛,那可不是因為爬石,乃是因為我在家一邊行一邊打噴嚏時撞上家裡一道門,很大力的,撞上後還有點麻。現在當然是瘀了,還用說的。唉,怎麼我盡做這些蠢事呢。。。

嘿嘿,我爬了上斜壁呢,很勁,值得被讚一下吧?

01 December 2009

Will be okay

Thanks for that but no, I won't tell anyone else. I was like talking to myself when I was talking to you, and was in English, you can tell how hard it was. I don't have enough trust on anyone else so it's never going to happen. Nevertheless, it's okay. I am going to be okay. Trust me.

哩兩日搞笑facebook status...

Madning Shek 理想很豐滿,現實卻很骨感

Jill Wong 將蔣生同rob一拼諗埋 ! 只會令我諗起佢拍醒我露出佢專登買黎"tum"我既彊屍牙 ! XD

Madning Shek 上班無聊嗎?拋硬幣玩吧,正面就上網,反面就睡覺,豎起就工作,傾斜就努力工作,摔粉碎了就申請加班,如果摔出兩枚,那就天天摔!

:D
