看什麽？

倒不是排斥新科技，我是有名的技術控。
卻總覺得手裡捧著一本書的時候特別踏實。
尤其是身處一個陌生的環境當中。
或是無端端有一大截空出來卻又不能做正經事的時間。
例如搭地鐵啦，搭飛機啦，等人啦，去銀行排隊啦之類的。

熱戀中的人不同，可以借機短訊傳情。
對工作有熱忱的亦是，隨時都在電話上傾談生意，旁若無人。
於是要隔離這些浮躁的唯一方法便是自己製造一個金鐘罩。
塞上耳機，手捧書籍一冊，自然造出一個趨吉避凶陣。

這幾天在讀毛尖的《這些年》頓悟，究竟我們看書看書，是在看什麽。
世界上的故事都是相似的，卻因講述的人和方式不同，影響了我們的觀感。
像電影"paris, je t’aime"一樣，不同導演用各自的演繹方式講述他們眼中那個可愛的巴黎。
我們贊好的，往往是因為我們與作者有了共鳴。
藉高人之妙筆，生出我們心中那朵不曾綻放的花。

大多數時間，我們也試圖記錄下那個細膩的瞬間。
那陣風，夾帶著這麼多複雜又甜蜜的回憶，忽地吹過來。
直灌入鼻腔，湧進心頭。
像是打開了一個積塵多年已經生銹的鐵皮盒子。
全部都是童年收藏的寶貝啊！
玻璃珠子，剪報，車票，戲票，胸章，假的手槍，粉色的絲帶……
真想去要捕捉的時候，我們卻找出種種藉口搪塞，此事遂沒有了下文。
純粹只是懶罷了。

幸而世界上有那麼多那麼多才情煥發又勤勞的筆耕者。
他們記錄下了那些讓我心頭生暖的片刻。
在我們心中最柔軟的地方，種下一朵花。
好讓我們在這冰冷陰暗的世界裡，看到一點光。

sans titre

有些事想了許久仍舊不明。

遂歸結於「神秘」現象。

要接受此類現象的存在。

宇宙無邊，存在即是合理。

忽然發現，那些將自身悲劇怪責在自己性格上的悲劇性人物都是懶人。

因自己毫無抗爭意識，又不願意脫離舒適環境重新來過。

變成悲劇也是順應潮流。

無甚可憐之處，想來倒是可恨居多。

常被人窒，「你爲什麽這麼挑剔，要求多多？」

只想反問，「那爲什麽閣下這麼隨便呢？」

美國人：你看過木頭做的杯子嗎？
中國人：沒有！
美國人：那為什麼你們中國字的杯是「木」字旁？
中國人：「杯」字旁邊不是有個不字嗎！也就是說它不是木頭做的……

RIP the victims of the hostage standoff.

悲觀者說

某日晚飯畢，與一群人相聚於某咖啡館內。

忽論及生死。

某君理科頭腦，思路清晰得叫人害怕，「少算點，算我們可以活到80歲，那還剩下50年不到，一年365天，粗略地，就是還有15000多天。前提是，平平穩穩，當中不出差錯。」

忽然心裡咯噔一下。

「大前提是，要平平穩穩，中間不會出任何狀況。」

心裡又是咯噔一下。

以為自己可以坦然面對死亡了。

原來是自己騙自己。

他們都沒有過失去親人的經歷，所以講起來的時候可以保持理智。

但你知道那是一種怎樣的感覺嗎？

當你醒過來，發覺那個每天都坐在沙發上和你聊天，吃飯，講笑話的人不在了。

從小看著你長大，一起生活，管教你，陪你玩的人，就忽然不在了。

到了舉行喪禮的時候。

你眼睜睜地看著那安詳的睡容，臉色還是這麼生動，你是不能相信，也不願意相信死亡這個事實的。

有時我常想，猝死的人是幸運的。

死前沒有痛苦，不必掙扎。

只是睡去了，永遠不再醒來。

就像余華說的，他們不是失去了生命，而是走出了時間。

生為何，死又為何。

電影裡，有個瘋狂的科學家，寫了一本書叫《死後是否還有另一個世界》。

有沒有，都不重要。

在現世，在能夠感知自己，知道自己還是自己的時候，認真地過。

le petit nicholas

有時候，常覺得，一個人長大，其實是挺悶的。
不過，稍稍開始懂事的時候，又有點驚恐——忽然來個陌生的肉團與我爭搶，總不是件樂事。

你看這尼古拉不也有一樣的困擾嗎？
他聽說班上的小朋友因為媽媽又生了個小弟弟，十分害怕。
不過幾天連學也不來上了。
孩子們都說，他因為家裡有了新成員而被父母扔到森林裡去了。
於是爲了自己生活有所保障，尼古拉想盡辦法要討父母的歡心。
也秘密計劃要買兇除掉那個未出世的弟弟……

兒童片並非專門拍給小孩看的。
受眾更多是那些不願意長大，時時懷著童心的大人。
雖說他們平素總帶著面具做人，假裝堅強。
其實私底下，不過是個聽到老師說要看醫生便立刻躺在地下耍無賴的小童。

我喜歡那簡單而快樂的童年。
喜歡那些在大片的荒地上，齊腰高的草叢裡策劃各種壞主意的日子。
喜歡那些瞞著大人偷偷與小朋友一起上街的情景。
喜歡那些記憶深處的明媚陽光，那風，那樹，那光影，那溫潤又潮濕的空氣……

過去的固然已經過去了。
但總有一天，你又遇上這樣的回憶。
在螢幕上，在書本裡，在報刊雜誌的方寸間……
於是，你和過去的自己重逢了，繼而相視，會心一笑。
因為你那刻頓悟，原來自己也曾這樣單純地快樂過。

兩周一聚：我的好朋友

A君卿卿，見信如晤：

相別數月，不知汝近況何如。
寄來的相片已收到，真叫人落淚呀，忽地就變成了這般的面孔。

當年，我們認識的時候，還都只是少年。
你的案頭，放了一枚琉璃。琉璃邊有本檯曆，上有畫一幅，注解叫「非池中物」。
你常對我說，「你將來定是非池中物」。
真是叫你失望了……

你說，我以前會偷偷躲起來哭。
我怎麼完全不記得了呢，
我只記得你的抽屜裡有一支香水，叫“o, oui"。
我電話通知你們我要離開的消息，
你們在電話那頭都哭了。

隨後我回來了，召集大家去唱K。
在唱到《每一個明天》的時候，
我哭了。
因我覺得從此，
大家都要開始不同的道路，
或許就永遠不會再有交集了。

你說，要去法蘭西學藝術。
真是不捨得你走啊。
要真是那樣一別，
何日才能再相見？

後來不知怎的，
故事出現了轉折。
你放棄了高薪厚職，
自立起了門戶。

生活中起了波瀾，
但都過去了。
再說起來的時候，
你臉上帶著微笑。
心中的痛，我看不見，但感覺到了。
只希望你不要再做無謂的堅持，
我不在乎你外表的堅強。
沒有柔弱之處，又何以為人。

你日漸忙碌，我們卻不曾疏離。
我仍記得那晚在茶餐廳宵夜時我們的對話。
記得在大半夜的公共場合，
我就這樣放肆地落淚。
和我那驕傲的外表，毫不相稱。

無事常相見怕是沒可能了。
請千萬注意身體。
我們並不是無堅不摧的。


大安。

sentimental values

you know how this phrase irritates you, you must do.

because you're surrounded by the stuff that carry such values.

take a look at the stuff in your cabinet, on your desk, right next to your computer...

now, count, how many of them were given to you as gifts from various friends.

"i travelled 9000 miles to give it to you..."

"oh, hun, thanks, that's so kind of you!"

you then put away those precious little things on your bookshelf along with all others.

eventually, there'll be so many such things standing in front of your books, you can't even read the names of your books without moving them.

the nightmare doesn't stop here.

one day, you're trying to be a good person and try to tidy up the room.

guess what you see?

unopened giftboxes, unused handbags, unread books, unworn jewelleries...

and crap! uneaten watermelon flavoured jelly beans!!! (these are going straight into the rubbish bin...)

they were all given to you by the people you like, you tend to keep them.

even if you're always moving, you still bring them with you.

also because they were gifts from your friends, you aren't supposed to give them away to other people.

plus you're brainwashed to believe that you're always short of clothes/bags/shoes etc.

it thus becomes a vicious cycle: you're forever piling up sh*t but never throwing out any.

here is my post-mid-year resolution: to throw away as many stuff as i can and not to buy anything "new" till the end of this year.

cos i feel like screaming my head off when i'm surrounded by so many useless sh*t that carry "sentimental values".

"sentimental" my a**.

mental? yes!

記者問韓寒如何看香港和內地年輕人買不起房子？
韓寒：香港是因為地太少，樓價非常貴；內地是因為政府賺錢的手段實在太少，導致地價很貴。
