花的姿态
Sunday, September 30, 2007
对陈绮贞印象特别。很遥远,却很深邃。 听她足足唱了三小时,是场我听得最轻松的演唱会,很easy-listening,不知不觉,时间就过了。经典的、非主打的、蓝调的,前段演唱她就是这样一首接一首地哼哼唱唱,虽然尚嫌声音未完全开,但感觉很舒服。不自觉地,对音节技巧的执著烟消云散。 2. 爱喝咖啡
音色独特,飘渺虚幻,捉摸不定,如同雾里看花般,喜欢与否因人而异,但音乐概念与生活理念贯彻一致,简简单单,在不知不觉中扣人心弦。
1. 哼哼唱唱
我想她是爱咖啡的。多首歌词中都提到了咖啡,其中一首歌名就是《九份的咖啡铺》。
3. Piece of Summer
她透露从来没有解释演唱会名称"A piece of summer"到底指的是什么,但既然最后一场开在新加坡,一年四季都是她最喜欢的夏天,所以也就提醒了她做个解释。她是希望美好的事物就如一片夏季一样成为自己的一部分。
4. 最爱招牌菜
她的招牌曲目其实很多,也是我偏爱的。总觉得她的抒情曲好听但似虚似实得让人很难留下深刻印象,有点像酒,要经时间酝酿才会体会到酒的醇。但最喜欢的依然是熟悉的《让我想一想》、《躺在你的衣柜》、《还是会寂寞》、《华丽的冒险》等等,让人容易融入其中,听出耳油。
5. 大合唱
Maxpavilion的坏处就是迟早要站。一是位子排列没有搞高低层次的。二是演唱会气氛。所以到最后每个人都是站着的。演唱会看到从坐变站的是开了个人先例。(还没看过五月天,那个恐怕是从头到尾要站了)但全场唱《让我想一想》、《旅行的意义》、《告诉我》、《1234567》,感动指数是持续飙升。
6. 值回票价
Enchore了五次,还能说什么呢?实在太棒了!绮贞实在很专业,配合度超高,她说了四次再见,四次最后又因为歌迷不舍得走,她可能也唱得很过瘾而重新登台。耳福实在不浅。唱了《越洋电话》后本以为是结尾了,怎么知道出了观众席去了厕所出来,又听到她的声音。我和哲函忙又跑回去,这次干脆跑去前面近距离欣赏她与乐队带来的最后,真的是最后一首歌。
花的姿态,或许就像她一样百变、别致,如同一朵灿烂的蔷薇。

那年白色圣诞
送给想念的负担
心树挂着的装饰
只剩下孤单
旧画面切不断
没事常常播放
感情路看似平坦
有时会急转弯
说好为我做早餐
烦恼要交换
这些话当时说得自然
却更突然
答案不一样
回忆再多也是过往
不知现在你怎样
曾站在你左边右边身旁?
失落迟迟等不到散场
幸福停在某个远方
祝福随着我流浪
冷风总是来得特别匆忙
却吹不走我指尖的思量
后记:写时其实脑海中播着周杰伦的《心雨》,当时又在AOH闷到发慌,所以随性提笔填了词。和周董一样情节都是乱写的,如果看官感同身受,纯属巧合。

Avalon
A legendary island somewhere in the British Isles featured in the Arthurian, famous for its beautiful apples. Avalon, coming from the Celtic word abal, hence it is also known as the island of the apples.
The Avalon I seek? Possibly a space within me, forming this mirage in virtual reality. A base to seek solace and solitude, where I heal my own wounds and move on, live on. A place I hope will give occasional inspiration. And all this....
... is as concrete and realistic as that. Avalon does exist, within.

It is funny how things turn out. I got my old hotmail account back, along with the realisation that something lost, however small and intangible, really make you appreciate it more when you recover it.
失而复得才知道凡事不是理所当然的。
That email has been used for 8 years already, and I hadn't thought of changing it. This fiasco has been such an emotional ride. As to the new account I created, it will still be in use. It's an alternative to appearing offline after all..

Life Is Like A Boat

Firstly on my way home on a taxi after a full day at range, one of the tyres of the vehicle was suddenly punctured on the course of PIE expressway. A delay was obviously imminent and for someone who was so eager to head back home at around 2330 it was definitely dispiriting. But well I was quite "Ah Q" at that point in time, possibly because the taxi driver himself reminded me of my Staff who just left the organisation. Very happy-go-lucky. Slightly affected by this "suayness" but not complaining too much, only jokingly cursing at his tough luck.
When I finally reach home, was going to log into my hotmail account as per normal when it suddenly rejected my signing on. Spent more than an hour trying to troubleshoot everything to no avail. I didn't remember changing my password either. In the end I decided to just start a newhotmail account. So yes this is a shout out to all: do add me if you please. The address is starvade. Thanks.
As my Ah Q-ness was still pervasive in me, I was thinking that probably this was fate's hand to force me to clear up my contact list, now that I have lost all. The inevident struck once again. But I still wish to choose. And I believe you too.
The title of this entry is the same as that of a japanese anime song sang by Rie Fu. The lyrics are quite nice and I have the translated one here.
Nobody knows who I really am
We are all rowing the boat of fate
The moon in its new cycle leads the boats again
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong
I give a prayer as I wait for the new day
We are rowing the boat of fate, but the waves keep attacking us

10 Things I Like About My Class
Monday, September 24, 2007
It's been quite long since I uploaded pictures to do with daily life. Frankly speaking, I don't really blog too much about what I do each day because firstly if this were a personal log, I will already have known what I do day by day and I will rather commit the more memorable stuff to my memory. (Like of course, memorable stuff to memory) And I doubt my daily monotonous routine will be even worthy of attention and time even for the free and idle. And ultimately, if this place becomes as dead as a desert (wait is a desert really very dead?) then I will just feel as though I am ranting to a piece of wall echoing throughout cyberspace... 4. We go for K sessions
1. We remember birthdays
Yes and I was one of the three "lucky" ones to have my birthday celebrated. Wanted to add another point that "we seem to like to be reminded of the past" since the place that picture was taken is at the Fortune 煮炒店 (which was "somewhere near school", that being the requirement for the proposed venue) where we had our dinner. Not PS. Not orchard. Maybe we just happen to be running on a budget... And not just one time... After MAF too...
2. We speak in chinese
Sorry no picture for this one...
Except for this.. Can't help doing my bit for promoting mandarin... But yes we speak in chinese and test each other idioms and even amuse ourselves with the occasional recalling of quotes from old textbooks and lines from poems that ring a distant bell..
Ok I used this one because this shot is like the third or fourth try... Xf was like "eh smile more leh" so I was like "er ok...." and Jasmine was going "Ooi we act like we dunno each other" after the first shot. For the sole sake of saving whatever little face I have, I shall not post the previous attempts.. But yes I must say smiling for the camera is only momentous but a smile is eternalised by the comfort of having known you guys. Even when nowadays each of us are here, there or somewhere... at least we bring our memories wherever we go.
And are loving it. Oops not Macdonalds the Ksession that is.... But yeah we have Rainy Yang replicas, hokkien song successors (made up of a certain duet, so they can sing 一人一半 next time), canto singers, jackie cheung fans, and a song patcher. (aka someone who has to sing any part of a song, the chorus or the opening, or the ending, or the rap, not because he is good but because that part of the song is conveniently forgotten by the person who picked the song.. Lol..)
Whoo 14 people this year! We actually have more than last year! Must maintain...
6. The girls are full of, ahem, pleasant surprises
I admit I don't look exactly convinced in the picture but seriously, "someone's" cooking is really good. Doesn't really take an expert to guess who I am talking about when the answer is practically staring at you. But I am sure there are pretty more hidden talents waiting to be uncovered... hopefully.
Enough said... They don't say a picture speaks a thousand words for nothing. Then again, sometimes it is a situation whereby “此时无声胜有声". Hmm...
.jpg)
Yes so anyone interested in farewell parties please call the hotline- 1900-birthdaysurprise.. Look for Xf or mavis since the third honourary member of the team happens to be the one going overseas this time...
But we are a colourful lot.. Even with our complex combination from subject combies in the jc times to personality differences to clique permutations, we do come together, albeit a little painstakingly, but we make an effort to and I hope we will continue to. Well it's a wish. But if we choose the same option, it will be inevitable.

港片万岁!
Sunday, September 23, 2007
今天和我妹出席了由i周刊和香港驻新加坡经济贸易办事处联手主办的香港电影展,由于是电影马拉松,所以竟一口气看了四部经典电影,分别是《风云》、《1.99电影行动》、《异度空间》和《三岔口》。
《风云》
原本以为肯定看到睡觉,毕竟这部1998年最卖座港片在我们熟悉的频道上已循环轮回了N遍了,播了再播,看郭富城断手断到没感觉,看郑伊健头发无时无刻都在随风飘仿佛在洗发精广告一样。但仍然勉强捧场一下当成暖场戏。
《三岔口》
郭富城为何凭此片荣获影帝我终于了解了。之前看了《父子》已对他另眼相看,如今更觉三岔口里的他更有魅力,演起痴情固执的刑警得心应手,每一幕都很酷,把其他两个比他年轻的帅哥郑伊健和吴彦祖比了下去,是灵魂人物,把老港喜欢的警匪片撑起了,注入了感情。
《异度空间》
张国荣的遗作。饰演心理医生的他在顺利帮助林嘉欣克服过去,治好心病后,更得面对自己的逐步精神失常,疑神疑鬼。看他陷入精神纷乱的过程,仿佛像是预示着他戏里戏外的结局一样。只不过,戏终归是戏,人即使死了也只是“戏中的人”,但现实生活中,人没有两次生命。
吊诡的是,戏里是喜剧收尾,看着林嘉欣倚着张国荣那幕本应感到温馨,但现实的残酷却令我不自觉唤起了淡淡的哀伤。记得他离世后i周刊出版了以他为封面的纪念刊,我还收住。当时也并非特别喜欢他或支持他,但可能是同样被他巨星的风采震慑到而起了缅怀心理。
看来是要重新考虑是否要当心理医生了... ...
《1.99电影运动》
04年为了抗Sars香港导演各自制作了励志短片献给香港,作为港人互相扶持的力量与战胜病毒的勇气的纪念。当中不乏博君一粲的短片,看了不禁会会心一笑。人们最团结的时候,往往就是在对抗未知时最脆弱的时候。

回忆倒带
Saturday, September 22, 2007
最近趁着放长假,到处走走逛逛,与好久不见的人、事、物联络联络感情。
是的我居然去了裕华园赏灯。真是久未踏入的地方。以前都是在爸妈陪同下游玩的家庭出游目的地。这次得多谢含希的邀请。托她免费入门券的福,才能旧地重游。风景好,天气好,心里不禁有股油然而生的畅快兴奋。灯还是重点。也如印象中的同样漂亮。如果小时候看灯是喜欢它的可爱,如今看灯就是欣赏它的精细。看这张八仙过海的水上灯阵,灯饰与水中倒影相映成趣,不错对吗?这可得归功于含希了。我没带照相机。
跟着含希来的还有她的朋友。居然还是个摄影师。看他侃侃而谈时不时分享着一些摄影技巧,真的是获益不少。还悄悄在一旁偷师,看他拍照的角度与架势。更好看的照片还在后头呢。最后我们居然还玩起烟火棒。算算已经有N年没碰这玩意儿了。在空中划着一个一个圆圈,圈圈圆圆圈圈,生活中许多事不也是被无形的圆圈圈住?烟火棒的燃烧的确很漂亮,但也很短暂,烧尽后也只剩下一根废铁。重点是过程:捕捉那瞬间的美。
裕华园小了,可能是以往人小,裕华园才显得大。不过偶尔浅尝它的古色古香,也是中煞有情调的享受。
再来就是跟一般兄弟漫无目的的闲逛Orchard,停停走走,听听看看,最后在Taka的底层月饼展上到处穿梭人群中试吃,还开心地留影纪念这顿免费下午茶。
当然不忘前星期在Lide家举行的04黄城演员BBQ。真要感谢他的用心安排。虽然不是全员到齐,不过久别重逢,再重看以前的VCD,那青涩的过去,(还好第一片碟坏了,没看半杯)是有点不敢看,但真的超——好——笑。
至于A12的outing为何没post,请各位息怒,不是忘了你们,是在等照片!所以有照片的"send leh!!!!" 到时再补写special entry。哈哈!

The Inevitable
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
But we yearn for the same thing, while trying to fit in and sync with each other, both in work and play. Just as how we suddenly got put together, we will soon go our separate ways once more. This journey hadn't been smooth-sailing even the slightest bit, neither as enjoyable as any other we individually have or eventually will embark and complete, but it was a mark for each of us. A mark we share and will never be worn off.

草前月下坡
别后换谁坐
经年风景旧
青春不白留
今年有人问我:MAF到底是怎样的。我耸了耸肩:就是这样咯。
有些东西,就是这个样,无需多做解释、无需堆砌词藻,简单而直接。喜欢的话会继续喜欢,不喜欢的话继续无可厚非地不喜欢。即使有天厌倦了,看腻了,也只是心境变了。
回忆的姿态,落叶归根情犹在。

Value meal
Thursday, September 06, 2007
My friend was asking me what I was going to do after november until school opens next year. I was stuck without a response. And when a reply finally came.
"It is something like this: after eating Ala Carte dishes other people have ordered for you all this time, it's hard to decide on what to eat when you suddenly have a buffet lying in front of you."

Self-test...
You Are An INFJ 
You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity.Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is.You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience.You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.
In love, you truly see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow.You enjoy relationships as long as they are improving and changing. You can't stand stagnation.
At work, you stay motivated and happy... as long as you are working toward a dream you support.You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher. How you see yourself: Hardworking, ethical, and helpful
When other people don't get you, they see you as: Manipulative, weak, and unstable
Frankly speaking, it's been a while since I did something like that, but I was thinking since I have all the time in the world, having started my long-awaited off-clearing period to the Big Day, that I might as well just play with a personality test yet again. The last one I did (I forgot when, lazy to check the archives.. forgot the url too) revealed I was an ENTJ, as to the now INFJ.... Like er a change in 2 letters after 2 years... I wonder if another 2 will swap the other 2 letters. I guess it underlines a few things here and there. Accurate or not, well who knows? Maybe tomorrow the test will give me a new combination... after all, we will be different tomorrow from what we are today.

死神也爱吃苹果
Tuesday, September 04, 2007
月光的朦胧, 身影的朦胧
外衣很宽松,灵魂重重枷锁
对外界的言不由衷
底线印上沉默
夜空赤裸,妩媚地挑逗
原始罪恶诱惑毫不犹豫接受
怨恨招手,无名的火
把最后一丝忍耐吞没
脚步随着斜树起舞婆娑
陶醉在这不安的律动
失控摇身变成罪魁祸首
街灯照不到的阴暗角落
豢养着一只野兽叫堕落
风中温柔被尽情掠夺
杀意没有彩排肆意得很洒脱
残余丁点理智寻求解脱
解脱、解脱、解脱
他用想象把一切涂上血红
血红、血红、血红
积水倒映出黑框眼镜下两抹永无休止的严冬
这样悄悄在那个人生命尽头等候
像凄美诗句般的秋后
看着落叶飘零片片葬送
刀光一闪呼吸抽空
轻似捻熄一根蜡烛的微风
说不出的告别只换来一声闷哼
留下手指头娇艳欲滴的玫瑰红
绽放着炫耀着灿烂着
低头就闻到了花香的浓
口袋缓缓拿出一粒苹果
咬声清脆得像在那里听过
握在手中
不断蔓延着的是同样的红
都市恐慌症三部曲之一

迟到
忙着AOH的这几星期终于告一段落,对于那没日没夜的漫长等待与苦守着一辆载满辐射超强器材的军车还是有点心有余悸。尤其是看着天色从暗变亮,从亮转暗,路两旁的街灯亮起又熄,熄了再亮,有点昼长难消夜更长的感觉。
但不知不觉间却听到广播偶然提到九月一号,才惊晓教师节又到了。总是那么静悄悄,至少对已离开学校的我来说是如此。可能是闷了太久了,突然有回学校的冲动。小学、中学、初院。即使是去看看走走,即使物是人非,即使少了熟悉多了生疏,即使老师不认得我或认得我的我也很难见到,但就是有种冲动。
我想,这就是怀念。可能他们根本忘了,可能他们也听不到,但脑海中快速闪过那么多不常想起却始终没有忘记的脸孔,只想悄悄地也对他们说:身体健康,教师节快乐。
