好日本的大户屋

表妹曾推介大户屋,在傳染病流行各地,未在香港爆發之時,外出吃我喜歡的廣島蠔.美味食物令人心情好起來.

Prayer

let's pray for Mexico.

漢堡包熱

終於試了pro-burger的burger,以Angus beef作招倈,service不錯,地方狹小,油煙味被困,有點擔心員工健康.包面滿佈芝蔴,竟有點像芝麻豬仔包, I like it!蕃茄生菜新鮮,芝士有點像卡夫芝士,牛味不濃,很單純的味道,質感不錯.由於沒有濃醬汁,吃了不覺飽滯.薯角薯味四溢,帶辣,不嗜辣者不宜.
Pro burger在我心中排名的burger榜佔上一位.

誘惑

認識了一些內地年青人,他們說上網是誘惑.電腦房不關門任上網反不是最大的誘惑,最大的誘惑是關上門=被禁止/no access的時候.

我明白,我記得,因為我年青過.

「所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的。你們如此事奉，乃是理所當然的。不要效法這個世界。只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全可喜悅的旨意。」（羅十二1-2）

共勉之

客家話

估唔到會再到淡水,聽番客家話,竟然仲明到.
以前朋友ge阿婆係客家人,我同佢傾多左,賺左,客家話都應付到下.
阿婆幾年前過身,今日忽然記起阿婆Ｄ金句,言猶在耳,懷念.

法式情懷

終於趕及係灣仔Sift收舖前幫襯,Ｄ甜品好味到暈,以前去過中環店,覺得貴,宜家定價較合理,signature chocolate cake不負所望,macaroon變奏有strawberry,rasberry及荔枝味,賣相靚到唔捨得食.如果無記錯,主持人修讀過法國藍帶厨藝學院課程,我都打算去巴黎時,探訪下呢個學院,跟佢地行下法國街市都唔錯.

p.s. don't choose Opera, too sweet and the coffee flavor is that nice la.

韓風韓食

睇茶煲阿四ge時候,係度諗,點解佢地咁鍾意食韓式炸醬麵,終於係一城韓食客試到,感覺好實在,可能女主角就係要呢種實在感.

連續幾日係韓國人開食店食野,韓松在Austin Road, 睇下, d前菜陣容幾勁!

Fair Trade

與mentees見面談到fair trade. 原來9 May fair trade 日喎!

Googler

My mentees envied me because I travel a lot. They wanted to travel too. They mentioned that they were being asked to write about interesting places in the world but they did not know what to recommend as they seldom travel.

With no doubt, people gain more exposure by going to new places. When I was young, I did not have enough money or the liberty to go wherever I want.
Yet people nowadays are more lucky. They can see what other places are like by using the internet and with the help of google map. We can enjoy 'virtual' tour.

The google map is particularly useful for me to locate the places that I want to go and get a sense of the surroundings well beforehand, e.g. how to get to the station and where the convenience shop is.

My friend said that I am a googl'er'. Yes, I love search engine. I love google and I am a fan of google map.

Some people may worry about google map related privacy issue but it is always in our hands how to make good use of it, no matter what 'it' refers to.

後現代閱讀經驗

星期日參加了一個講座,還獲得詹宏志及陳冠中的親筆簽名,太好了.
講座內容圍繞自身閱讀經驗.啓蒙及成長文化語境,
創造有利文字發展的文化語境靠賴: 對文字的渴求,求知求真求美的心及對文字的尊重和堅持
另外,港台在過往一段時間太集中尋索自己身份,忘了更宏觀的世界.
其中詹提及讀者文摘的例子,引發更多思考.
聽眾中有來自讀者文摘的朋友,指出讀者會為文章作地域定位,如文章太香港,問究竟有沒有超越地域限制的華文?
這論調使我想起梁文道常識一書中提及別人認為他太香港.

我自己的回應嘛...文化語境改變會不會因為我們後現代的閱讀經驗? 後現代文化對文字究竟造成了怎樣的影響?

看了一半香港三部曲,我突然想起了卡夫卡.

慢活咖啡館

大雨下,找尋目標咖啡館,中途發現卑利街舊唐樓之間的建築之家,店員選播一首很合下雨天的歌,忽覺有點淒美.
來回幾次,終找出coffee assembly,享受慢工出細貨的味道.

拉麵

Tried http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=9988
Sapporo japanese restaurant牛油塩味义燒拉麵,湯同麵都唔錯,有適合單身人仕的單邊位,又合一家大細,好多兩.三歲小朋友走嚟走去.餃子就麻麻地.
想試pro burger,竟然冇哂包,7點半至喎,9點先收工架,下次再try過.

舞台上的金鎖記(焦媛主演;許鞍華導演)

金鎖記的得:
印象深刻-七巧向女兒放鴉片烟一幕
童先生與長安初遇(兩位演員演出演譯了王安憶在序言所提及各人背景的分別)
金鎖記的失: (相對張愛玲作品)
月亮的孤單.幽暗保住了,但失了皎潔
七巧不是蘯婦,她渴望與三爺戀愛
她曾經如女兒一樣對愛有幻想
舞台上缺的還有食物和飾物,張愛玲文章不可少的道具

Another kind of cafe

I had an interesting discussion with my colleagues about maid's cafe during our trip in shenzhen. Little did they know, maid's cafe was not a new thing in Japan and Taiwan. We wondered if there is any maid's cafe in HK. The general preconception of a HK girl is not very matched with a maid's image. And on the practical side, it is very difficult to speak cantonese gently and with soft voice.
Today in causeway, a girl dressed like a French maid (black dress, white apron) distributed handbills. I got one. Judy and I studied the content. It is a maid's cafe, bar and restaurant. The photos on the handbills create very mixed message..interesting...very difficult to define it indeed.

Noise

I attended the Good Friday service of my sister's church. My niece was there. At her naughty 2, she could not help talking all the time. She of course did not know that she may disturb others. She just kept repeating what she heard and kept asking all kind of questions. Annoying... no doubt, someone on the next row asked her to stop. Of course I agreed that my niece was not behaved entirely as we would want her to be. But as a kid at the age of 2, she can stay for an hour not making a big scene was in itself amazing. The whole service lasted for 2 hours. Some adults may have fell asleep. My niece at least stayed awake. I am not defending her but it makes me think that why we want our christian life to be always undisturbed. Always in order, always no choas, always in control???
Would it be otherwise...to be a christian is somehow trying to hear God's voice when there are noises. We have to learn to stay focused no matter how, no matter where.
I always bear in mind that Jesus welcomes children. The current quiet mode of service is not universal truth and sometimes some noises may just make our spirtual life stronger. so thank you my niece. Sitting next to you today trained my ability to be more focused on HIM.

倒模天使

為甚麼每個電視節目也有倒模'天使'
說是天使,但更像動漫美少女造型
可惜性感有餘,個性不足

本人到外地旅遊
最愛看當地電視觀察生活文化
若我是旅客
從電視節目
我會看出一個怎樣的香港?

憶Humpty Dumpty

楊懷康在臺仔的文章勾起我往昔做研究的日子, Alice in Wonderland中Humpty Dumpty的名句是論文起首,從語言到法律,是否只是政治遊戲?

喜糖

第一次收喜糖
是二十來歲小伙子給我的
內地學生來港讀研究院
一臉孩子氣
但已成家立室
還傳統得派喜糖
很難得啊!

Thai food in Central

Kowloon City does have good thai food but it is not very near to where I live or work. Blue Ginger in Central satisfies my Thai appetite. The coconut soup is exactly like what I had years ago in Thailand. It is a chic fast food shop, that means no comfortable chairs but the prices are reasonable. The ingredients have been prepared beforehand but this would not affect the taste.The reviews on openrice are pretty bad but I still love it as it is quite authentic...at least to me.

60歲的婚禮

阿妹又再關心我的終身大事
我笑著答,若我60幾歲才結婚,會邀請兒甥女organise
我問咁兒甥女到時幾歲
阿妹話30倒啦
OK喎,到時實幫到姨媽

咖啡生活
一個人一旦開始愛喝咖啡,不只是他住家或公司旁的某家咖啡店對他有意義,好像全世界的咖啡店也都開始對他而言有一種意義,他會不自覺地關心起旅行過的各個城市所邂逅的咖啡店頁227

Finally...Departures (Japanese film)

Watched departures today or finally as many of my friends watched it already.
A film that helps us to remember those who have died before us.
Today is ching ming festival in chinese culture - a good tradition to pay respect to ancestors, as well as passing love from generation to generation...
