懸紅


今天跟呀Bu去圓方看了《懸紅》,出乎意料之外比想像中好看。印象中一向覺得兩個主演演員薛凱琪跟杜汶澤的演技都偏向走浮誇路線,至少我覺得是。雖然對薛凱琪蠻有好感,但有時看她演戲咬字的方式總覺得有點不自然。不過,今次因為電影劇情及拍攝手法所需,他們倆的表現看起來順眼得多。

故事大概就是説,以尋人尋物拿取懸紅為生的阿曹(杜汶澤)因為一次尋人的任務去了由孫朗清(薛凱琪)爸爸管理的Lazy Inn打探重犯的下落。由於孫朗清生性比較神經質也非常好奇,所以很快捲入了整個尋人的過程中。

買票前,呀Bu跟我説這是一部笑片。雖然一向對港產笑片零好感,但看著海報好像有一種不太一樣的感覺。直到電影開始了,整部戲的氣氛,美指,音樂,都沒有那種平常港產片很濃烈的港味。我不是影評人,大家也見識過我描述某些事是何其差,所以我也很難具體的形容《懸紅》的特別之處在哪。總之,抱著期望不大的心情下,電影的確給了我不少驚喜,也有頗多的笑位。不過那些笑位都不是那些很typical的食字呀周星馳路線呀,而是真的挺幽默,帶點怪怪的,挺特別的味道。除了好笑的地方,也有些感動的情節,幸好都是點到即止,沒有刻意煽情搞老套橋段。

總括來説,即便不是一部10/10的電影,還是會令我留下些印像。何況,這陣子看電影都沒有很多選擇,很想新電影快點上映呀!!!原來我史上最喜歡的日劇《螢之光》有sp電影了!!叫《羅馬假期》。還有《荒失失奇兵3》!



最後送上一首很溫柔的歌

太多想説的話

今天跟一位很熱心的朋友Isabel吃飯,提到我們各自的blog。Isabel説,寫blog有治癒心靈的作用,有時候把問題或一些迷思寫出來,即便是未能解決到問題本身,也可以幫助整理思緒。所以難怪,習慣了差不多每天寫blog,突然有一陣子不能寫,實在是感到有點不自在,甚至是有些難以舒懷的感覺。感謝天,萬能的父親把家裡的router收理好了,我也能夠重返這個角落。

説起朋友Isabel,最近她的facebook cover圖片寫著2+2=4。我一看就立刻聯想到還正在讀的《1984》,亦立刻想起最近鬧得正沸騰的李旺陽事件。一問之下,她轉了這個有《1984 》reference的cover也正是因為這件事!!有關2+2=4,我其實早幾天一直想為它寫一篇blog,甚至還因為太想立刻寫出來而手寫了在一張A4紙上。不過沒有正式地打blog這麼久,談一些這麼認真的話題好像有點怪,還是留待下次好了。

今天吃完飯回家,走了去開益看看有甚麼書好看,被我發現了這本《深夜食堂》!!!!《深夜食堂》是一部令我頗著迷的短篇日劇,內容就大概是説一個中年男子在他開的食堂所遇到的人和事,有點像人生交叉點這樣的意念。有趣的是,這間深夜食堂是沒有餐牌的。只要是店裡有的食材,你點甚麼都可以。那當然是要reasonable的啦!(已經可以想像,如果我跟呀Bu説有這麼一間食堂,他一定會説 “咁我地去叫鮑魚咯!”之類的話。)跟之前提過的《孤獨的美食家》一樣,這部劇的每一集都是以一道菜為題,例如玉子燒呀,炸火腿(!)呀。


講起食(其實完全是牽強地把話題拉到食然後逼你地睇),又是時候開心share一下我過去 近一周的飲食習慣。首先經典的莫過於每天的早餐。自從first day視察環境後,每天早上從油麻地到鰂魚涌的車程,就是我苦思早餐吃甚麼的時段。



有時候是比較簡單(?)的,像餐蛋治呀燒賣呀。有趣的是,那間快餐店可以極迅速地把你點的食物交給你。通通都在膠袋裡。


今天lunch time良心發現(?)要做健康大使食salad。但,就咁食菜又唔甘心喎!於是就買了煎壤三寶。原來,煎壤三寶不是只有豆腐青椒茄子的,還有變奏版如紅腸。真的是有點孤陋寡聞。




有時候也會自以為細食,買點魚蛋加飯團一個就當一餐。唯有快四點時就鯨吞百力滋。very sad。

>:D

this emoticon is meant to display my optimism towards the chance that I will get my Internet fixed by tonight. I can't stand this any longer. Every morning I stand inside the MTR station right by Maxim bakery and reply as many messages as possible and at the same time really want to be selfish and spare some time to check mo liu stuff like facebook or something. Sorry friends I know I have been frustrating you guys for being so slow at replying msg!!!! Aiiiiii ok it seems like I haven't explained why my Internet broke down in the first place. There are many technical terms involved and I am clueless about technology. Basically electricity got cut for a while one day, which made the router or modem (?) shut down inproperly. Something burned and that thing was not working anymore. The smart NOW people came up and fix one thing, but didn't replace the thing that got damaged...

got so much to talk about but don't know where to start esp when i am forced to just use English! Anyway, today's breakfast was 3 Siu Mai and 3 Cheung Fun, according to the menu. But when I opened the bag, there was 3904823904 tiu Cheung Fun. I guess what the menu meant was that 3 very long Cheung Funs were cut into many sections. Ok sorry for rambling on and on about Cheung Fun, if you are still reading.

Miss you guys so much! You know what as a new resolution i was planning to start drinking more warm water because my brother told me that drinking warm water can make you live longer. But today when I passed by the breakfast place I just couldn't resist HK style iced tea. argh! Is it worth it to sacrifice a portion of your life for iced tea? Sometimes I secretly think, yes. How else can u survive Hong Kong humidity?

One more thing. How come people just can't understand that I LIKE AND HAVE TO REMAIN MESSY? Yesterday my domestic helper Ah Wi helped me to put my company ID card nicely on my shelf. I appreciate the help but I don't even look at my shelf in the morning. My mum also helped me to put my keys on my desk. Surprise, surprise. I forgot to bring both of my ID and my keys on the next day.The thing is, I normally put the stuff I need on the next day on the floor, because, how can u miss the floor? Then I will just brush everything I see on the floor into my bag. How convenient is that. Mum and Ah Wi, just remember that I have my own way of organizing. It may not sound logical to you but it makes perfect sense to me.

-_-

Having to wake up at 7am and to sit in a box for 7 hours every day have become excuses for me to justify my eating habits. Breakfast for today was a ham and egg sandwich and two pieces of Lor Bak Go. Then I ate a pack of Wong Wong (which is funny because people here basically snack on fancy British biscuits and Marks & Spencer candies, while my desk is full of very local snacks such as Sugus, Pocky and Wong Wong and "Child Star Dim Sum Noodle").

i hate not being able to type Chinese.

For lunch I had a Cha Siu and Red Sausage Rice.

Ok this post has turned into something really dull. Esp when I can't upload photos. But I just need to type something here!!! So bored during lunch time!

Cho Cho Zi and Candie, sorry for getting offline suddenly while I was wtsapping u guys! got disconnected!
People are coming to my home to fix the Internet today so yay!

0_0 ( <-- the stare)

apparently thanks to the smart NOW people I still don't have access to the Internet yet. Now risking my life to type this post during work. Hopefully things can be fixed by tomorrow! Miss everyone!

By the way, I just did something that I normally wouldn't do one year ago. Some man pushed me really hard (when it wasn't even crowded) while I was buying a pack of Vitasoy, so I looked at him. Actually I stared at him and tried to look as furious as possible. He looked at me and  was really scared and quickly grabbed some drink and left. Ha! I don't like unnecessary conflict and will not say anything out loud if I could avoid that, but that doesn't mean people can push me around!!!! "The Stare" is my latest "bid sard gei" ;) Beware! Rude Hong Kong pedestrians!

first day

第一天上班,時間過得很快,也慶幸下班時間較早,避開了peak hours。唯一令我冒汗的是,HR打給我是我把“工作期至八月三十一”聽成了“至八月十一”。幸好HR姐姐今天説可以安排。部門內的人都很友善,一半都是三十來歲的英國人。奇怪的是,我team的經理一直跟我説英文,搞到坐我身旁的人都以為我不懂説中文。起初我以為是經理自己不諳中文,但唔係喎明明聽見她談電話用中文説得很大聲!我後來忍不住跟經理説,I can speak cantonese,她還是要跟我説英文。最後我受不了,直接跟她説廣東話,她才用廣東話跟我對答。十分詭異。

今天在地鐵上的時間很多。我忽然很想大叫,對身旁的人也好,對某些很煩的人也好,叫一句,“不要吵!”





這是最近買的曲婉婷的專輯。十級好聽!最廣為人熟悉的,大概是電影《春嬌與志明》的配樂Drenched。除了Drenched,我也很喜歡這首 Everything in the World。其實根本是首首都喜歡啊!不過這首歌特別適合今天的心情。




How many times you asked yourself before
What's the point
wasting time
But how many times you stand up for yourself
Make a point
you have a reason
You know
it's not fair
Your life
belongs to nobody else
So don't tell me there is nobody you want to hold
You know you messed up but nobody can live alone
So don't tell me there is nothing left in this world
Just open your eyes
you got everything in the world
