stuck november, year 3

今天做了的事不是很多，不過發生的事很雜亂無章
思緒一時感到凌亂，這一刻心情有點低落

昨晚還穿著外出的衣服不知不覺就睡去了
一睡就到了午後的兩點鐘
沖了涼就食tea，食了tea 就上堂
上堂聽了下一份assignment 的tutorial，又討論了將臨期限的功課
然後又食tea，然後high table dinner
之後聽關於「六四」的talk，之後到graduates 影相
之後在pantry 打機，之後樓會
講到wei lun fest evaluation，之後講了一大堆沒有重點的a.o.b....
現在要睡覺了，明早十點八的課堂已一星期沒有上

還有很多很多的事未做
搵工? 一週年? 功課? 考試? part-time?
還有很多承諾未有兌現
還有很多疑惑困擾著我
想做的事有很多，想參透的也有很多
不過我應該集中往哪個方向走?
在這個階段的其他人，好像都已經找到自己的方向
而我，還在沿地踏步，虛耗青春
究竟為甚麼我要存在? 我的存在有甚麼價值?

film review on Infernal Affairs

Film Review on Infernal Affairs

There have been many instances of crime film in Hong Kong over years. Cops chasing gangsters, gangsters setting traps on cops, etc. From Police Story (1985), Running Out of Time (1999), the Young and Dangerous series (late 90's), to Infernal Affairs (2002) and continuing, crime films are always a promising genre, the mainstream in the local cinema. People love to be entertained by the action scenes of catching and escaping, and the opposing relationship between the two parties.

Infernal Affairs is the one the police sending undercover to the Triad as well as secretly planted a mole by them. The undercovers work for the rival organisations to gain the advantage of obtaining intelligence from the other sides. After years of time, because of their double identities, they both feel tired of the "infernal" lives and struggle with the question which side they are indeed on. The cop mole is deperate for his true identity as a police officer, while the fake cop wants to erase his criminal background and become a "good guy". To the opposite of their desires, they both later on identify each other and the cop mole even puts his gun towards the other's head - the most famous scene taking place on the rooftop.

It was such a classical and successful movie, with the ever-best box office symbolising the rivival of Hong Kong cinema at that time, and receiving doubtless critical acclaim and list of awards from various societies. It was even well-known to the Hollywood remade as The Departed (2006) based on its original screenplay. The film leaves its glorious success of wonderful plot, outstanding production (particularly the directors and screenplay) and impressive acting and dialogues to the cinema. The prequel and sequel were released subsequently, but they were just minor follow-up to the success.

當初膚淺　得你恩寵似升仙　天有眼
當真糊塗　未曾發覺我該俯瞰南極快沒有冰山
當初專心　等你燭光晚餐　從沒有認識蠟燭怎樣消散
當你的光環　暗過世間火柴　何用困在五指山

而神蹟失靈才知天大地大轉得快
夢幻的生涯無非拖手逛街
怪得誰　要敬拜你　便沒視力靜觀世態

忘掉誰是你　記住我亦有自己見地
無論你幾高　身價亦低過青花瓷器
評核我自己　只顧投資於愛情
困在你小宇宙　損失對大世界的好奇

回味誰是你　往日有甚麼品味
只要敢遠飛　亦能自創我的搜神記
磨練我自己　做人目光高過聚散分離
就憑你　相愛大不了提升演技當做戲

從前只懂情人的感動力量最珍貴
未洞悉小巷大街遍地華麗
昂起頭　看見世界　我也會有我的氣勢

拋開你先識去審美　往後我便有自己見地
無論愛幾高　身價亦低過青花瓷器
評核我自己　只顧投資於愛情
困在你小宇宙　損失看大世界的福氣

回味誰是你　往日有甚麼品味
只要敢遠飛　亦能自創我的煙花紀
神是我自己　若然目光高過聚散分離
奉承你　因往日雙眼無珠不停放大你

想快樂不靠神蹟　才懂創世紀

搜神記

"the quiet car" the drama

九月廿六日我們專程到上水北區大會堂演奏廳看組mate Cammy 的最新演出《四。九靜音車廂》
劇情大概講述Cammy 飾演的美琪與一眾每晚都會乘坐鐵路尾班車靜音車廂的乘客各自發展的典型香港生活故事，卻又巧妙地交疊起來，最後來一個大團圓結局…
四個故事分別包含"一個來自內地神經質的尖子生、一對互相懷疑的夫婦、一個愛與老婆通電話的老伯、一對熱戀中的年青情侶。他們，在"靜音車廂"裡相遇，由尖子生不公平的生活中，令"淆底"的香港人，從互不認識到相識，從相識到了解，甚至改變自己的……"

雖然最後只剩四個人到場"支持"
不過其實我是很願意的
因為我一直都希望有機會欣賞本地的話劇表演
有很多不同的理由令我從來都未試過
今次可說是得償所願了 =]

toi hokkaido rice pizza in 5530

今晚去了新城市廣場的"戶井北海道米薄餅"食晚飯
叫了兩個主菜，兩個甜品
結帳三人共三百一十五元
分別是"士多啤梨鮮蝦米薄餅"、"三文魚蕃茄芝士大板燒"、"白玉…雪糕"和"xx酒蕃薯霜淇淋"
相片上載上來試試看
賣相其實不錯，米薄餅亦頗有新意，不過味道配搭不太討好
例如我不喜歡大板燒的薑味，茄醬太酸，米薄餅太韌
蕃薯霜淇淋反而口感融合，給人意外驚喜
霜淇淋的軟滑掩蓋了蕃薯的粗糙，一暖一凍，兩種溫度同時慢慢溜入喉嚨裡，加上酒味濃郁，令人回味無窮
很值得向朋友介紹這間餐廳的新意，不過始終認為這類"飯焦"其實偶爾吃一次就已足夠
