letter to future me

《藉著雨點說愛你》中的妻 子再現人間,離別前預定十數年的生日蛋糕為兒子慶祝生日。在雨的背後,談的是超越一生一世的承諾。而現代又貼近現實的做法是藉著email說愛你。一個名為futureme.org的網站讓你可以send email給未來的自己。當然你也可以預定send email給你的朋友愛人。有限度的羅曼蒂克也可窩窩心。

寫信給未來的自己,最大意義是可讓你暫時跳出自己,宏觀一點去看自己的的人生。同時幻想一下將來的自己﹣ 這下也可想半天了。

Happy news.
I got an email from Marin, the photo producer of Surface magazine which telling me my image is a runner-up in the Abstract Impressions Contest, sponsored by Travel Channel. And will be published in the upcoming Avant Guardian issue of Surface magazine as such :)
I am happy and surprise although i really wish i can go to Mexico by getting the grand prize (sorry i am too honest and too real, but who don't like surprise especially woman?)
Its really happy to share my images and story with the Surface team and readers. ( Thanks for listening my story in tibet.) My next station hopefully will be India - in Easter. (my honipiksi ready to go?:P) Should be a great place with life, culture, religion, music, building, great fabric and embroidery etc.

德國女孩和香港女孩的Documentary


答應了朋友拍一個Documentary, 內容是講述兩個在香港的德國女孩和香港女孩。於是認識了Project主腦Ronny和Micheal。他們比我想像中親切(一直覺得德國人很嚴肅和執著)而且很「純」。我發覺能自發做自己喜歡的事的人總是有點傻勁。牙擦擦不肯理虧的往往只得個講字。拍後他們給我一個Kodak one-time-use相機, 告訴我他們將會舉行一個exhibition, 展示他們送出的相機的作品。這些相機已隨他們的旅遊散落世界各地了。不知這個Documentary和exhibition出來的效果如何?
拍攝過程中談了許多東西, 其中談到香港的生活空間。我說香港不止房子空間小, 連建築物與建築物間的距離亦很近。我幾乎伸手就可踫到隔壁的窗子了。而小時候不許獨自上街時我也的確常把故事書放到長間尺上,再小心翼翼的伸到隔壁的窗旁, 跟鄰家女孩交換來看。
他笑著點頭說發覺香港的建築物幾乎一樣,建築師不會覺得單調嗎? 我說不一樣, 我們有H型Y型井型又可選玻璃外牆。對職業建築師來說大概足夠了。我倒希望公園可離馬路遠一點, 在馬路中心實在沒甚麼悠閒的興致。有時候不是"有"就行, 只為了有而有的東西總是達不到應有的效果。空間太"剛剛好"通常都是"剛剛好不夠"- 就正如那些差一分就碰到廁所門的馬桶。

Simply Thai的BB菜

昨晚到Simply Thai進餐。女侍應生打開一頁介紹:「我地今晚呢個BB菜有優惠呀!試下嗎?」
BB菜?心想我不是兒童喎....可以點BB菜嗎?
再看真餐牌:

BB鮮嫩美味!
泰式魚湯火鍋以細條梭魚熬製濃湯底
泰式木瓜沙律+乳豬
泰皇妃雞
嫩鴨...........

原來係有齊雞BB,鴿BB,魚BB,豬BB.......嗯.....即刻無胃口.....所謂 “數罟不入洿池”,你就專食BB...實在「泰」驚了.....
最後還是點了一道 “金字塔素菜有機炒飯”。個樣好靚,但亦「泰」油.....應該無下次。

P.S. 尖咀海防道一家小食店一支竹籤穿住幾個雀仔頭﹣食個位請以後NG好同我講野。

奧克塔夫的秘密花園

奧克塔夫的秘密花園
Octave Mirbeau《The Torture Garden》

十九世紀最令人發指的文學作品。由各上流人士討論著下流人性開始,我被帶進了秘密花園﹣一個想像中最殘酷而美麗的故事。

沒有神明沒有鬼魅,頹廢而自然的無政府主義。肆無忌憚的反擊著所謂的文明社會,撕下將邪惡裝成美好的文明偽衣。它將鮮血與鮮花結合,坦率卻又精緻地扭曲著生活的美。

到底什麼是美好?什麼是邪惡?
精緻高雅的酷刑以一種藝術形式在牢獄中表演著,成為了上流雅士和政府官僚的娛樂。秘密花園像夢一般置於牢獄的中央。那兒的花被愛與死亡滋養著,於是開得特別的燦爛 ﹣ 極端的美麗原來建基於極端的殘酷和放蕩腐敗。
花的色香引誘我們進入無限的情愛境界,將人性被壓抑的陰暗面幻化成真,浮現於現實的表面,就如伊甸園令人認清自我。書中那種大徹大悟徹底腐敗殘酷的享樂主義,一個我生活其中但不願看清的世界,令我害怕卻又忍不住繼續看下去。
