Hello, earth.
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky.
And theres something bright,
Travelling fast.
Look at it go!
Look at it go!
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America.
Can't do anything.
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea.
All you sailors,
(get out of the waves! get out of the water!)
All life-savers,
(get out of the waves! get out of the water!)
All you cruisers,
(get out of the waves! get out of the water!)
All you fishermen,
Head for home.
Go to sleep, little earth.
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?

好個人, 好個人(personal)的...
我自問小時候經常作惡多端, 對細佬妹都總是「蝦蝦霸霸」和偷呃拐騙的。再加上家庭內本身的張力, 使大家的關係拉得遠遠的。到長大後希望補救亦無從入手, 很是無奈。當然明白現在各有各的生活圈仔與及要走的道路, 要發展更深厚的關係是很困難的。對這方面我沒有很大的奢望。可是我同意爸爸所講的:「最重要是能夠看見妳開開心心。」
話說回來, 有關ufo 事件, 妳真的也有同樣的經歷嗎? 那是一個很奇怪、很刺眼的夢。
Harvard Biovisions - The Inner Life of a Cell
I saw this video in class and was totally fascinated by the image and the music. Although it's computer generated, it does show us the beauty of life. Absolutely worth seeing. If you think science has nothing to do with visual art, check this out!

Bowen Island
對加拿大人來說香港高樓的密度是十分驚人的, 雖然很多如溫哥華一般的城市, 高樓是越蓋越多了。看見的或會問: 有需要嗎? (anyway, 現在不談這個)
早前去了bowen island , 是個很小很小的島。從horseshoe bay 乘渡輪出發不過15分鐘。
當天亂打亂撞地找到一個trail, 穿過一叢樹林後發現一個夢幻平原。詩一般的景象, 第一個感覺是很不真實的。可能是因為島上除了人之外, 便很少其他動物。牠們都躲藏起來嗎? 人對大自然作下的罪孽是頗深了。

And Dream of Sheep
很舊的一首歌,但對我來說所有未聽過的歌都是新歌。好喜歡 KATE BUSH 的音樂風格,覺得她將自己整個人都當作樂器來演奏, 相當地原創。她有自己的一套, 因此很難可以將她歸類(或歸為異類)。相反, tori amos 的音樂卻有些許她的影子。
她的詞亦很獨特,一些平常很少人用的題材她也寫得很出色。她debut 的 Wuthering heights,彧後來的the man with a child in his eyes, babooshka, the womans work, 都彷彿要用一種魔幻的風格來表達一種頗難言諭的微妙感情變化。

久未能痊癒的傷口
Sunday, April 01, 2007
能夠認識到你, 讓我感到很幸福。
每當看到新的張貼, 都覺得很幸福, 因為你們對生活的各樣體會, 都使我獲益良多。這段日子, 感到迷失的時候比較多。間接或直接地由你們身上獲得到「正力量」, 又會使我再提起勁。
有關迷失, 從前傾向相信只靠信念便可解決一切。
現在漸漸認識到, 原來以往都一直在相對保護的環境下成長, 有朋友、家人的支撐。現在來到個陌生的地方, 一切事像是從頭開始, 才發現自己原來很很很渺小, 對自己的能力很感懷疑。

大時代
外邊正下著雨,不算很冷,但看到了她的赤足在發紫,青色的蚯蚓在腳上爬。
書桌上混亂一片。
吃完了的方便麵膠碗,在柸中殘留的吹乾了的茶包,信紙上印有不知是醬油還是咖啡的痕跡。她就是不在乎,拚命在瞎寫。從前天開始,她把朱古力當正餐。不是因為特別喜歡朱古力,只是筆離不開紙,手離不開筆,人離不開要做的事。
沒時間了,她在想,手在抖。
她就一直在寫,字亦開始變得不能辨認。這時,歎息從她乾裂的嘴邊輕吐出,不留神,筆掉在地上。
於是她停下了,好像忽然醒過來一樣。然後艱難地撐起身來,眼鏡擱在信紙上。她慢慢地一直走到窗前,攀上了窗架,以跳水選手的姿態躍下。

一九九二年
因為怕我不懂,蘇菲要以很曲折的方法去告訴我她的想法,可躺在床上的我感到很睏.飯氣攻心,一句都聽不懂。在電話筒另一邊,她還在努力地解釋明天開會的流程,我也只間中虛應幾聲。因為她是個好人,我也不好意思跟她說明天開會我不想來。我一向很怕要跟人解釋。自幼都不懂說話,一開口就亂方寸,於是一次一次跟她去開居民會。由小到大都住在公屋,都算是「老」街坊了,三百平方尺的單位,雖無間格,但一家三口也算住得安樂。除了大樓的昇降機間中故障,一切都很平靜。所以我其實不太明白為什麼要開會,談些如何加強保安、爭取假日免費泊車之類的事。「那好,明天八點辦事處見。」說完蘇菲便掛了線。
明天又要錯過一集「大時代」,真慘。
追劇集是我一家的長期嗜好,簡直是生活中最重要的一環。有時幻想,假若有一天世上沒了電視機,我們一家可能也再沒事可談了,也不會再坐在一起。
「家強,播主題曲了還不起身!」媽媽在叫。爸爸已經放好了凳子。

二零零四年
「好邪呀,前天我住的那棟大廈有人跳樓。」女朋友邊說邊找緊男朋友的手。
「今時今日仲跳樓,弄髒人家地方。買包炭有多難?」
「你不要那麼口賤好嗎?那個人很後生的,很慘。報紙講那人有抑鬱。」
男友的視線正鎖在車上對坐的男子身上,該男子手上握著的ipod有個印著梵谷名作「星夜」花樣的外殼。很cool 啊,他也想要一個。
「你不聽,我收聲好了。」女友開始不高興了。
「不是喇。我在想那些人真蠢,自殺也不乾淨些,也真該死。你不知道燒炭死有多好。一氧化碳中毒死的人臉上都紅紅的,很好看,出殯時連化妝都可省...」
「好了好了,我聽夠了,很噁心。」
看到女友好像真的感到難過,他也不忍心再作弄她。她是個很敏感的人,很容易便替別人難過,這也正是他喜歡她的原因。
他沒有的,她有。
但有時候他覺得她多愁善感得太離譜,直把人家的傷痕往自己身上貼,自己的事情卻放著不管。這種性格是很難在社會上有成就的。簡單說,是不賺錢的。不過他想了一想也覺沒關係,因為一年後他的醫科實習便會完成,有了自己的診所,兩人便會結婚。作為醫生太太的她,也不用工作了。

不留
只有真正了解自己所要追求的是什麼的時候, 才有資格去「不留」。
如果還未及「找到」, 又怎去不留。
像在走鋼索。
當雙腳不著地時, 會是向上升呢, 還是往下跌呢?
是不是要等到不再擔心或介意, 是向上或向下或向左或向右的時候,
才會有資格去不留呢? 腳才可以走得穩呢?
在走的人是我, 我是不可能參考其他人的。
從沒有兩個人可以同一時間走在鋼索的同一個位置上。
加上, 只顧看別人的, 就不能專注自己的。
那裡找。那裡找。
只有在歌裡。

They died for beauty
Farewell my lovely
You sleep so cold
And how I'll love you forever.
My darling, I suppose
Chorus:
We had everything
And still wanted more
We told the stars down from the sky
Sometime back in '64
Now I remember the memory
Forever tonight.
Let these words be my testament
To each day that went wrong
Without you dear,
I am nothing
And there's nowhere I belong.
Chorus:
We had everything
And still wanted more
We told the stars down from the sky
Sometime back in '64
Now I remember the memory
Forever tonight Forever , fo-o-o-orever tonight.
好久不見了
好耐都冇update 果blog, 好抱歉。

***
Despite the endless effort that she had spent on teaching herself to be optimistic, nothing had changed. "There are many tragedies in our world today, how can people like myself complain about life?", sometimes she tried to cheer up herself. It seemed to her that the only legitmate solution for all her discontent was to swallow her pain like precious juice, and to thank god for everything she owed. However, she was a faithful atheist. God was not the only one whom she did not believe. She had trusted no one since a very young age. She could not remember how and from when she began to take up the habit of "nonselective disbelief". She wanted to have real friends, but she could never open her heart to anyone, fearing to be hurt. She knew there was something wrong about herself. Deep at the bottom of her heart, she sensed that she was the one, not the imaginary enemies, who prevented her from pursuing happiness. It was the self-inflicted pain which made her suffered. She wondered if somewhere in the world she could find the remedy for this soul-sucking disease.

"Hey, com' on! Look at you! Lysey, you look drier than a cactus and older than my gramma. Go, come with me, we're going to get some new clothes today. " Mel swung her body when she talked.
"That's very kind of you, but I don't need any new clothes."
"Hey, today's the last day of the boxing week sale..."
"Mel, I need some rest. I couldn't sleep last night."

The Sound of Music
About music...I've been quite picky on choosing CDs these days; anything that I don't feel like to listen to, I''ll turn it off within a sec.
About movie...
I watched "The Sound of Music" on Christmas Eve, and I'm not embarassed to tell you it was a wonderful movie. Out of my expectation, the movie was surprisingly good, even though the opening and ending are little bit boring. It's truely a classic. The most enjoyable part is that you can really learn how to sing, The songs are charming and simple. I like "Do Re Mi" and " My favourite thing" the best. They are very educational. What a joy!
I can still recite (I'm not lying) the lyric of "Do Re Mi".
Do A dear A female dear
Re (Ray)A drop of golden sun
Mi (Me)A name I call myself
Fa (Far) A long long way to run
So (Sew) A needle pulling thread
La A note that follow So
Ti (Tea) A drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do!
Hey, don't be shy, be a child. Enjoy~~
