塞

討厭.
鼻. 塞. 塞到頭痛.
呼不得也吸不得.
鼻水鼻涕窮途末路, 只得向低流到喉頭, 耳仔也難免沾上惡菌.
用口呼吸, 自然喉乾舌燥. 氣管癢得要命, 如何落力乾咳幾聲也搔不着癢處.
飲飲食食有難度. 一張嘴要咬要吸要嚼要呼要吞要咬要吸要嚼要呼要吞, 真忙不過來... 同時說話更是stretch了, 協調不好的話, 嗆哽起來便有得自己辛苦.
下咽甚至吞口水也要張開嘴, 不然的話一道氣前無去路後有追兵, 我可不想耳鼓不停的被衝擊.
耳鼻喉造反, 聲音也性感起來.
是時候講句 - 朋友, 你寂寞嗎...

ps 聽着歌仔引吭高歌, 那陣鼻樑的共鳴... 同個種難聽法... 勁! 哈.
ps2 媽咪又乘機叫我吞這些這些丸吃那些那些補品...

詭

零晨的銅鑼灣. 自己一個, 清醒的. 久違了.
走着走着, 涼風(幸好不是冷屁股)親熱臉頰, 多醒幾分.
拔掉earphone, 抽離自己的惱, 走出自己的小小世界, 感受一下.
在這個時份, 仍放不下的五光十色, 反顯得蒼白無力.
疏落的人影繼續自我抗奮. 那種平靜的沸騰. 幾詭異.

梁祝下世傳奇

睡不熟. 看梁祝.
夜闌人靜心無旁騖看得比較仔細, 有些上次漏了的情節細節都看出來感受出來了.
故事. 發生在現代, 取了梁祝的一些骨幹. 先不要駁古.
演繹. 要明白舞台表演的一些比較誇張明顯的肢體語言, 面部表情及聲線語氣.還需一些想像力去配合一些動作的意思, 更有趣味.
其實少看舞台劇類, 不能comment演員是不是特別出色(ie人比人). 但要笑有笑, 要喊有眼淚, 都幾動容.
歌是少不得. 為此劇度身定做, 其實在說故事. 難怪當年個別歌仔拿出來plug時, 不知就裡的感覺有點"怪異", 風格跟一般的pop頗不一樣. 指的不單是詞, 還有歌底的氣氛編排. 看過劇後, 明哂, 更能好好欣賞.
(突然想起, 就如 Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Raincoat, 不看戲齋聽都幾奇...)

仍然感動.
仲有, 無爛gag, 好好好重要.

特別喜歡這些歌. 有畫面很不一樣.
悲: 化蝶
哀: 汽水樽裏的咖啡
戚: 禁色
痛: 勞斯萊斯
淒: 做好準備
俏: 不是吟詩的時候
甜: 十八相送
勁: 有人跟蹤我
化: 撲蝶 (舞)

Both Sides Now

This song suddenly pops when chatting with a friend... how we see things.

Both Sides Now - Hayley Westenra

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
Clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love
Really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all

Where the Brain Sits

Association

Want to give David Garrett a try, simply because he is associated with -

(1) Itzhak Pearlman. Just found that David Garrett was a student of Itzhak Perlman at Juilliard. Perlman's Beethoven Sonata with Ashkenazy happens to be one of my favorite being listened to intensely after I rediscovered and rescued it from office recently. http://amoozing.blogspot.com/2007/03/perlman-ashkenazy.html

(2) Carmen-Fantasie. Again, it happens that ASM's Carmen-Fantasie is another heavily listened repertoire recently (the only 2 violin thingy at arm's length from my bed). Mutter plays it very powerful while delicate and deep. It is "easy" to be hard core loud and pounding technically. Would like to see how and in what way David Garrett is sensitive to the work. http://amoozing.blogspot.com/2007/03/blog-post_18.html

ps Not liking David Garrett in the first place - because his last performance on a dunno-what-HK-TV-show with Eason was disappointing. Be fair, wouldn't solely be his fault. My own feeling matters - a total disaster. As if they were trying hard to cross-over/collaborate simply for the sake of doing.
ps2 Sidetrack: Someone (forgot whom) said one of the success factors for American Idol and the subsequent success of the idols (say, some of them - Kelly Clarkson - are selling 8m albums) is the ability to get audience engaged and associated with the 'idols' during the course, in which relationships are formed.

又阿經理

今早又遇到這個小朋友.
http://amoozing.blogspot.com/2007/02/blog-post_6643.html

但他的裝扮肯定是比我經理10倍.
在香港office上班, 無老闆無client一身輕, 就好似返學一樣. 那天隔鄰team的同事問我畢業了多久, 話唔聽我講嘢都估唔到... speechless加汗顏.

點解一期一會

在網上的一些說法, 參考用. 還待對日本文化和/或日文有認識的高手指點.

(Source http://www.dreamfish.idv.tw/OneTime.htm)
"一期一會"是日文, 是日本茶道中很重要的一種精神, 也就是要將每一碗茶, 當作是今生唯一、最後的一碗茶, 懷抱著感激, 安靜地品嚐這碗茶的香味.
就茶道來說, 每一碗茶都是唯一的. 這一次一起喝茶的朋友們, 下次不見得能再聚在一起. 就算人都一樣好, 風花雪月, 四時心情, 日子不一樣, 茶的味道就不一樣. 兩碗茶, 無法有相同的感受.
一期一會的起源, 是日本戰國時代的武將(不知道是誰), 每次在出征前, 都會請來茶士舉辦茶會, 跟士兵一起喝茶. 因為是在出征前, 天知道明天是死是活, 所以真的都是弄得跟明天就要死了一樣的感覺.
但是, 就因為不知道明天會怎麼樣, 只知道現在是活著的, 所以參與茶會的人都很珍惜現在, 全心全意去品嚐這碗茶. 而到了現在, 這種精神就稱為"一期一會".

(Source http://blog.21vision.com/article.asp?id=150)
这个词来源于日本, 古代日本武士出征的前夜, 大家会聚在一起喝茶, 因为明天就要上战场了, 日后是否还有缘相会呢，谁也不知道, 或许这就是我们的最后一面了, 那么此刻就放下一切的伤悲和痛苦, 细细体会这茶水的芳香...
"一期", 表示人的一生; "一会", 则意味仅有一次的相会, 后来一期一会也成了日本茶道守则之一. 记得去年在日本国际交流中心亲身体验过一次日本的茶道表演, 印象非常深刻. 表演的舞台被布置成一个日本家庭的感觉, 屏风上挂着主人精心挑选好的与客人搭配的字画. 茶具也是经过主人的挑选, 茶具上花纹的样式都也是很有说法的, 具体的工序自不必多说, 非常的周到, 典雅耐心甚至有些琐碎的动作, 每一个细节都流露出主人对客人的诚心诚意毕恭毕敬. 客人自然也是相当用心, 双手接过主人茶碗的动作都是满怀感激, 喝茶时的茶碗的花纹朝向和将茶碗递还给主人时的朝向都不一样, 非常的讲究.
这一切的过程细节都在于茶道所讲究的"一期一会", 在茫茫人海中, 今生今世的相会只有一次, 是绝无仅有的特殊存在, 同时也不可能永存. 每一次茶事都是唯一. 既然这是人生的唯一, 我们就必需付出人生中仅有一次的心力, 真心真意的面对它.

Found the PUNCH hilarious... hahahaa

一期一會

2007.04.22 @ Lyric Theatre, APA
http://www.wtheatre.org.hk/onceinalifetime/index.html
趕1945開場, 在登龍街的小曼谷吃個early bird晚餐. 第一次去, 蝦餅不錯.
飯後乘叮叮. 一直好喜歡坐/企(上層)叮叮, 在可能情況下是不二之選.
Show 後到永華宵夜. hh和hg 要細蓉(覺得咁叫好型, 哈), ph點了生磨合桃露加湯圓, kp點了蓮子腐竹雞蛋, 我點了桑寄生蓮子蛋茶. 阿嬸嬸話, ph嗰個就補腦, 我嗰個就下火... fit 哂. 可惜唔知邊味可以如hh所講旺財.

回來這個劇, 整體感覺一般. 其實很少看非演唱/奏主打的舞台表演, 最近的只有梁祝下世傳奇和馴情記, 而且只是看了DVD. 明顯比較喜歡梁祝(不排除有bias), 雖然班底有重要重疊, 但畢竟題材氣氛有差異, 蘋果與橙不應比較.
~ 不肯定用陳百強的歌(新編)是否最到的選擇, 跟其他'老歌'一樣, 比較抽象感性容許更多的想象空間. 要知道此劇選用陳百強的歌是林一峰的personal agenda - 據說因為陳百強是林媽媽的唯一偶像, 林在自己30歲這年要送此劇給媽作禮物. 當然那種青春妞妮忐忑入世未深的情懷理應click到, 但梁祖堯在劇首時的誇張直接性行為常在口邊的表現(是性行為不是性), 令我一時無法想像如何跟陳百強的歌sync-in (雖然知道相當寫實, 不少未長大的男生都會這樣behave, 肉麻露骨當man當有料當有趣). 幸好這些"門面功夫"很快就過去了, 角色氣氛劇情開始軟化並沉澱下來.
~ 可能個人喜好的關係, 印象感受較深的都是有歌的場景: 盧凱彤(加奈)自彈自唱厚聲試音版及rock版的"疾風"; 林一峰(浩一)的"漣漪"; 另外就是小寶(琉子姐)在麵檔思念弟弟時唱的播的"漣漪", "當我想起你".
~ 谷祖琳(由紀)念對白不夠清晰, 加上聲線低沉, 不調節的話做現場劇只會苦了觀眾. 而且她比較像matured student, 有點格格不入.
~ 趙學而在首場dress rehearsal 時受傷不能演出, 觀眾可選擇退票. 就現場所見, 只有零星空位, 相信九成以上觀眾仍舊捧場. 她在謝幕時由黃智龍(導演之一)推着輪椅出場, 唱了一曲"偏偏喜歡你".

整個劇圍繞友情愛情親情(what else could it be...)... 然而感覺有點模糊. 要想想.

疾風
詞: 林振強
曲, 編: Chris Babida
問野風踏遍幾多長路 方可見到理想都
踏破多少波浪和荒土 至能含笑地停步
風 卻沒理起始終
它 只知發力去衝
從未多過問亦從沒關心 路長和浪濤洶湧
風呀 讓我一起去衝
不分春秋與夏與冬
無論多遠近願懷著天真
披清風 默默去衝
如內心有夢 便全力追蹤
不須計那天才可終
(如內心有夢便全力追蹤 好比天空疾勁野風)

漣漪
曲: 陳百強
詞: 鄭國江
生活靜靜似是湖水
全為你泛起生氣
全為你泛起了漣漪
歡笑全為你起
生活淡淡似是流水
全因為你變出千般美
全因為你變出百樣喜
留下歡欣的印記
植物亦似歌
那感覺像詩
甜蜜是眼中的癡癡意
做夢也記起 這一串日子
幻想得到的優美

當我想起你
曲, 詞, 編: 林敏聰
再記起一些古老的心事
再記起心中一串開心日子
曾在那似已遠遠的以前
共你差不多天天都相見
曾話過那天起 你已屬我永不變
過去的經已不會再出現
過去的一切只會更加遙遠
明白到各有各的去路
但我心中始終感到
能共你愛過 暖暖的令我自豪
曾在我心 如此深深愛戀中
遺下憶記在腦中
從當天起永都不可忘記
當我想 想起你 仍像昨天一般深愛你

多士

今朝呢, 興高彩烈咁整多士.
由於時間及logistics的關係, 超熟方包已在昨天入貨.
包一烤好, 驚死佢好快會洩氣, 立即以迅雷不及掩耳的姿態塗上牛油和jam(我喜愛的apricot味).
過程中, 隱隱然覺得有點不對勁...
也理不得了, 又係驚死佢會很快洩氣, 大口的咬落去...
一股清香湧上喉頭鼻後.
呀... 係柚子味.
原來手快快, 攞錯柚子蜜當jam.
好在都好味! 可encore.

Now Playing The Blower's Daughter

Left the restaurant after lunch, barely heard a song probably coming from one of the shops.
I thought it's The Blower's Daughter. Damien Rice.
I don't really listen to Damien Rice - too saddening most of the time.
I would think - what has he gone through his life to produce such music such feelings.

The Blower's Daughter
Damien Rice
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

溫婉

回家路上, 碰上了kw. 好開心. 真係10年無見.
交換了小小近況, 自己的, 人家的.
她的仔仔1歲了, 好好好可愛. hohohohoo.
雖然只能在手提電話裏遠觀, 但可以肯定的是 - kw 啲肉都比哂個仔, 哈!
(當然, 肉身跟靈魂都逃不掉ga la... 突然想起一首歌... 如下)
即時'吹雞'call 了ap和hg, 當然大家是要碰頭的了, 越快越好.
Can't wait!

kw說覺得我溫婉了... aarrrr... hmm... I think I'm only deflating...
想當年... 好好玩. 兩'幫' literature, econ 人, 相處時間不多, 卻不知怎的'居然'可以混得來, 真是緣份.
一想當年就一發不可收拾... 返來囉返來囉... 去歌!

兩位一體
唱: 何韻詩
曲: 馮翰銘
詞: 林夕
編: 英師傅

你在這裡 我身體中進睡 孩子請不要推
快吧 擠逼將過去 無非等多幾個月 何必心急去催

日夜輕輕撫摸聽候你光臨 在我堡壘興建人生
這種感動要比戀愛還逼真 畢竟同一個體溫
要你一生分享我身體 誰敢疏擺這關係
終身的愛容納於這空位 還滿足到難捨你出世

兩百多天一起兩位一體 情感即使會消逝
此刻的我如上帝 那陣痛多麼抵 證實我掌管一切
(縱沒法保管一世)

你在這裡 你不懂得眼淚 來這溫室寄居
你是 快感的證據 眉梢不管將似誰 誰都不可竊取

ONJ

2007.04.15 ONJ @ HK Coliseum
Went to Olivia Newton-John's concert at HK Coliseum on Sunday night. They put up a diamond setting with a small (focused?) but decent stage. She sang beautifully, talked and smiled softly - so delicate that touched people's hearts. The band was playing nicely too, with the music director and leading guitarist changing guitar for every song. Back to the basic - the use of saxophone, flute, and harmonica helped a lot in the new arrangements of songs too.

I would say the concert was received warmly – people were giving her flowers and a guy even ran up to her and gave a letter - a letter is so romantic in this digital age.

I guess I've never watched Grease from end-to-end at one go. But you won't miss those greatest hits from the musicals as well as from ONJ's decades of career thereafter. Who wouldn't know 'Sam', 'Physical', 'Hopelessly devoted to you'... when they're played? Having said that, I think I'm among the youngest to be there.

Now Playing You Give Me Something

You Give Me Something
James Morrison

You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart

You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart
But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway

You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

It's Your Fault

Friday 13th

aarrr... call to be rescheduled, which means prolonging my to-be-executed feeling over the weekend.
sh*t

Wait

Awaiting to be 'pin-ed' at the 0900 call... *sigh...

Just read hh's blog... that Leslie Cheung's song is one of my favourites too.
Indeed the whole album 'Red' takes breath away... and is so heartaching.

Get a Mac

Love these Mac ads. Now there's a kiddo PC... hahaaa
Tempted... hmm...

Counting Beans

Related and yet related just came up my mind -
Little Prince visits the asteroid that is inhabited by the Businessman. This guy is constantly busy counting the stars he thinks he owns. He wishes to use them to buy more stars. The Prince then goes on to define property. The Prince owns the flower and volcanoes on his planet because he cares for them and they care for him. Because one cannot maintain the stars, he argues, the Businessman cannot own them...

阿同學.

最緊要都係身體健康, 開開心心, 青春常駐啦.

飯堂又(1)上週爸生日吃過了; (2)中午吃過了; (3)媽想試的珊瑚蟹已售罄.
終於, 是晚設宴魚翅城.
都好味.

電視上的吳彥祖在試隱形眼鏡, 店員問他覺得怎樣 -

"有點暈" (普通話)

"哦. 初初看清楚個世界係會覺得暈 ga la"

Per Conversation at Lunch Today

出外靠朋友

2007.04.04
多得hh出計又出口, 烏忱誤多時的激光之約在3天內得已塵埃落定.
多得ph出卡又出現(還有hh和hg拱照), hocc minggor et al concert有了着落.
多得sym出手又出面, 跟st-san的閒談還是蠻有意思的, 且看我這個小工何時有機會粉墨登場. (也破紀錄的跟sym吃了談了3+小時)
多得TomLee TKS和CWB哥哥仔的專業示範和意見, 讓我不再三心兩意, 在有限條件下作出最合理的選擇.
真係多得她/他.

Happy Birthday

to dad

由於時間關係, 慶祝活動已提早一天於愚人節展開.
祝爸身體健康, 生活愉快, 與媽甜甜蜜蜜; 仲有, 工作順利, 繼續有錶玩錶有車開車就精神爽利!

一年容易又

...好濕.
於是, 濕疹年度回歸(當然有人話唔太關天氣事, 是自己身體不爭氣).
雖然可claim公司, 如非必要也懶得看醫生, 反正不能根治.
還記得少時出疹10個手指頭有7全脫皮, 連指紋都一併脫掉了.
練琴要帶棉手襪(which is 唔係好得, 或者hehe乘機唔練), 濕水就要棉手襪加膠手套.
唔... 今天剛開始一個小小臨老入花叢的project, 希望手指的災情可受控制. 尤其左手.
