一種幸福

部門阿姐(workman)要退休了,她今時今日仍然可以著穿得起少女時代的a-go-go裙,反應亦非常快.她已經在部門工作了二十二年,見證了種種轉變,也認識了幾朝的人,依然做到面面俱圓,水不沾身.
我相信往後要一段時間,她才可以適應不需上班的日子.像她可以工作到退休,又能享受工作,未嘗不是—種幸福.退休,是學習欣賞緩慢的時候,也是香港人最難學的功課.

皇后碼頭

仍然記得肥彭一家向我們揮手作別,留下一絲離別的哀愁.肥彭跟蛋撻,曾經親近得如屋企樓下的麵包舖.沒有了彭氏美麗姊妹花,後九七迎向的是充滿侵略性的北方/南下佳麗.香港人夢想擁有"皇后",可會是一種情感轉移?
搬遷再立的皇后碼頭,又怎可能一樣?移花接木怎可代替真身?我們的政府不就是變相A貨支持者,難怪A貨可以在這城市落地生根.沒有皇后的記憶,碼頭只會是光脫脫的碼頭,那不像極國王的新衣,分分鐘成為莫大的笑話.如果真要在全城找地方安置皇后,愚見認為最適合莫過於迪士尼,皇后與樂園絕配!

西瓜/蜜瓜

在一間位於名商場的超市中,我聽到這樣
的對話.
黃師奶:呢個咩黎嫁?
陳師奶:西瓜囉,黃肉嫁!
黃師奶:唔係喎,呢度大個牌大隻字寫住蜜瓜喎!?

I like Hong Kong

Charlie brown's cafe

Zoe

Zoe的甜品是不是全城最好吃,我不敢說.買它來吃,最大的原因是那張笑臉.如果笑臉可以買來,我樂得多買幾個.
p.s.
Shake'em bun開了分店在銅鑼灣Zoe對面,還有座位坐.Homeless在恩平道也設了樓上鋪.

Sushi plate

Sushi Hokkaido

Ah ying showed me U magazine Hokkaido bible. I saw a photo of fusion sushi (squid with cuttlefish sauce rice). I told Ying that I will 'copy' the receipe this weekend.
Done this sat but the cuttlefish sauce was very sticky....

XO醬蜆肉通粉

本來好想整個苦瓜蜆湯,可惜放工買唔到苦瓜.蜆癮難耐,記起Jamie Oliver玩焗蜆pizza,好吸引咁樣,我就不如搞個通粉,唔使太多時間煮,蜆肉鮮甜ge水滲入通粉,連sauce都慳番.一個小時完成煮食洗.
煮食,在我而言,是Re1ax方法,也是一種創作.我鍾意睇所有飲食節目,不單可透過螢光幕經歷味覺之旅,更可了解食材和吸收創意.

梁文道之食物現象學

可口可樂贊助跑步比賽

雄仔今曰俾左張報名表我,七公里,唔知跑完有冇可樂飲?!

巨鋒提子雪糕

Wa11's雪糕,除了蛋撻這特別口味外,又加入了巨鋒提子味,OK喎!但唔知點解,一路食,個腦一直閃著瑞士糖ge畫面.Blueberry Bliss What a love1y name
p.s.
Sorry guys, I later found out that I bought a wrong cup of ice-cream last time. the real one巨鋒提子 called grape passion. I tried it as well. It has grape peel inside, though the taste...very similar. So the picture here is blueberry bliss instead of 巨鋒提子.

窗外

星期日十一點幾要去睇戲,朝早去左禮賢
會早祟,趕去油麻地睇戲,中間加插係美都餐室飲奶茶.食菠蘿油,好味呀!(Yannie屋企都係用黑白淡奶,張太有特別貨源,勁!)
我以前係油麻地一小學代課成年,只知美都有樓下,根本無留意有樓上(可見我係個大苯旦),上次跟人再去,愛上個轉彎窗口位.我成家都好鍾意窗,阿爸阿媽阿妹我都鍾意望街,以前我阿爸成曰叫住我地:「你睇,阿婆婆過馬路幾危險,唔望車,標到過」(我阿婆住我對面坐大廈].到我大左夜歸,阿爸阿媽就睇下有冇男仔送我番屋企,而家回想,都覺得好笑.
以上文字在一啖奶茶.一口菠蘿飽下完成,下樓梯時見到一隻金豬及一隻金龜在望著我,鎮店乎?

Mini octopus card

On the way to APM meeting maxine, I met Ying on the bus. She and I talked about the hot topic of the town 'I am not a plastic bag' and she told me the latest trendy thing is mini octopus card. Really? I got one. hahaha I am so trendy.

被動

兩個星期前,有人話我係一個被動ge人.被動?我從冇想過自己係被動的人,觀察自己兩星期,原來我都幾被動,我成曰想每件事順其自然,所以我絕對唔係隨便辭職和分手ge人,老細叫我搵D人跟我,咁個位先坐得穩.查實我無所謂,為做而做,我最怕,我覺得好浪費精神,甚至遺失自我.我唔係唔想拍拖.結婚.生仔.升職.加薪,但太主動,又唔似我喎.有朋友話我其實都幾「化」.「化」?唯一肯定,我真係信上帝有預備,唔一定咩都有,但唔會咩都冇.

Suzuki cafe revisit

No longer have tea set in Suzuki, so suzanne and I tried this new bun.

Watched Harry Potter, the theme has sth in common with lord of the ring, even spiderman. Everybody has an evil side and a good side. It depends on your choice. Your choice defines who you are. I have not read the book, so could not comment on whether it is based on the book or just the movie verison has this theme.

VCD Notes on a scandal

The horror of loneliness & Selfishness:
Old female teacher (typical unmarried type) used the secret she knew of another popular female teacher and turned it to her own advantage.
This movie ma...Very English. But not very entertaining. May not worth buying VCD/DVD if you have not watched it.

廣州行

好耐無去廣州,三年前去為了一個不快樂的理由.今次去為公事,不過過海關時好搞笑,x光機見可疑物品,個位管機ge大叔問我個袋係咪有生果.生果?檸檬或涼果之類.啼笑皆非,檸檬咁搞野?我將個袋打開,一眼見哂,少野到唔恨.姐姐望兩眼,就叫我走.真奇怪呀!檸檬或涼果?有D咩問題?回程當然冇咁離奇,我仲眼明手快係車站排隊上車前買左隻圖雅的婚事DVD.番大陸嘛.點都要買番隻.

一個人的驕傲

好耐冇食峰壽司,因為極少落銅鑼灣,今日得陳氏伉儷(我個妹同妹夫)贈的UA時代哈利波特戲飛,為左換票,到銅鑼灣走了一轉,本想試下利舞臺的住家菜,但超多人,轉陣去峰壽司,一去則有位,一個人唔使等,搞到我好驕傲.我唔係孤獨精,但偶然會享受一個人去吃飯.去睇戲和去旅行,這些時間都很寶貴,是與自己共處的時間.一個人有時,有個伴有時,有班friend有時,就最完美.
不過食自助餐,打邊爐及大排檔之類就愈多人愈好.

I got the book!

Congratulations! You are not Zero!

扎西德勒

I finished reading a poetry book written by my former teacher 梁秉鈞 (poet Ye Si)in Page One the other day and I then cannot stop writing poems. The topics are about Tibet. My friend went there earlier.

見面時的問候
在地域分隔下出現落差
日月星晨能否傳話
轉述那慣常的問候語

在失落的日子
願你如意
在危難的日子
願你吉祥

每當我想起你
心中自會響起扎西德勒
在你感到孤獨的那一秒
願你知道在某一方
有人為你說著扎西德勒

流星雨

八月份有流星雨
未見過,唔知係點樣ge呢?
有冇人見過,可以分享下.
我會更多留意下天空,睇下有冇驚喜.

A souvenir from my colleague travelling to Hungary

看了蔡灡遊匈牙利,勾起我的回憶.回憶中的漁夫堡及多瑙河依然壯麗.我的同事為我帶來了辣粉paprika,不用來吃,當裝飾,也很美麗.

POEM on Hada - a gift & a souvenir from a friend

Hada – a name full of mystery,
Silky touch, a sense of purity,
Carrying the smell of Tibet,
The flow of history,
A carriage of blessing,
A travel to be.

New book from Not Zero 2007 Must Buy

Available in Commerical Press this week, Star in HK Book Fair!!!

You still don't know what Not Zero is, buy la!

展覽

Hermes太古廣場展覽Once upon a silk=Once upon a time的故事,用頸布圖案佈置神祕想像的故事.廠房更派人即場解答如何印製絲巾,現存最多顏色的絲巾有四十多種色.有一點很有趣,問問題多是男士.
另外七月十二日到八月一日時代廣場有黃永玉展覽,展示鳳凰魅力.

In his words In his time

唔係每一個崇拜,我都有深刻印象,但謝任生牧師講道every time都引發我更多思考,他的講章見於http://www.spiritualstream.com.另外我中學時教的一個搗蛋幼稚園主日學學生(現中六),從讀經過程中感受到神要在他軟弱中顯明自已,他的弱項就是不合群,他怕輸,社交是弱項,他不斷用籍口逃避,上帝在十幾年後提醒佢,按著上帝的時間改變佢.

一人有一個夢想

最近跟中學生談起夢想,她的夢想是教舞,她跳的是Belly Dance,肚皮舞?!時代真的不同了.

諸事不利或是諸事大利?

下星期要出差去廣州,一直提自己要搵本回鄉證出黎,每日都唔記得,直到星期四晚聽到陳鍵峰旁白甚麼旅客到中國,才如夢初醒.怎如回鄉證剛踏十年,要立即補申請回鄉咭.星期五下午去中旅社(上午冇時間),竟然因暑假人多,拿不到籌.那個職員非常幫忙,叫我留下電話,on waiting list.當時身上無白底照片(四月新規定,快圖美做緊例行維修,兩小時才有相.即影即有機不認得我張八達通),又無舊証影印本.再遲一天,恐怕連快証也出不了.心亂但仍努力定神,回公司影印,再返中旅社.原來職員太忙,無暇致電給我,但已為我預備了籌.而在中旅社的即影即有相是我所拍的即影即有,最漂亮的一張.

觸動我的三個故事

上星期看了電視節目六十分鐘時事雜誌-
1.去年揭露美軍虐待以拉克監犯與及拍照為樂的Darby,因為被政府披露了身份,現在無家可歸及受死亡威脅,他被認為出賣了兄弟buddies.
我的反省:擇善固執多難

2.一個獲得anonymous精子而成功產子的母親建立了網站,使精子捐贈者的下一代可以在網上嘗試連繫父親及ha1f sibling
我的反省:怎樣才構成一家人?

3.納粹德軍竟為每個Holocaust受害者
做詳細擋案及各樣詳盡紀錄,照片.姓名.簽名.號碼.有舒特拉的名單,有Anne Frank,這些全靜靜放在德國中部一個城市.現終於開放給公眾,以電腦檔案方式給研究機構使用.
在存檔中,發現希特拉四月二十日生日那天,他們每兩分鐘殺一個人去「贈慶」.
節目內,生還者隨隨捲起衣袖,露出手上的數字.如生還者所說,沒有人可以再說沒有Ho1ocaust.
我的反省:誰敢忘記歷史?

Lunch after service

I always follow my intuition.
Strangely this morning I took the van and went to Wanchai not within my plan. completely unintentional
Ok then I sat at Epoch and ordered coffee and Pannini.
Coffee not good today but have read two magazines to compensate myself for the bad coffee.

Before Sunday Service

Walking up the stairs to my church
I stood in the middle and took a photo
"Morning, little grass. You look so good today!"

Weekend cooking

Zucchini with balsamic vinegar
Mussel with bacon ,onion & cheese
Onion soup
Rice stick with suet choi & minced pork

sweet mentees

Joined last activity of this year's mentorship program - a talk by Mary Cheung. My mentee sent me a 'self arranged' plant. She prepared it for days according to her friend. Really creative & original. I almost thought that she bought it from Citysuper.
My mentee is a talented 'gardener' who can appreciate beauty of nature.

Also delicate, beautifully packed cova chocolate from Yannie's mentee. A gift to her mentor & her mentor's friend.
