同學仔,

前日本來好想打比你(但好彩冇,因為真係好無聊的)

冇,只係想問你識唔識一個「問米婆」,可以幫我「請」嗰三個迦帕多家教父上嚟,等我可以(再次)「練」死佢地啫……

see,係咪好慶幸冇收到我嘅無聊電話呢? (不過咁好笑嘅嘢,梗係要同你分享吓)

見到我咁低能+無聊嘅一面,證明我真係好stress
(唔信可以問吓我ex-roommate,我考試時的coping method通通極具創意)

發洩到的也應該ok的

好,明天一定要交功課(咁起碼仲有一日假可以放吓)

Forward (fast) - Wall-to-Wall - Write on Nicole's wall

夏萍

0 回音
歷史科考試翌日,終於忍不住剪了一頭短髮(其實也不是太短)怎料老爸一個反應是:

「你呢d咪就係『夏萍頭』囉,嗰時個個都係咁剪架!」
(滴汗)「唔係掛?以前睇粵語『殘』片時夏萍係咁架咩?」
「咩呀,我話柯德莉夏萍呀!」
(滴汗x2)「老頭,我點估到你當年咁潮,睇柯德莉夏萍呀?」

實在有點……

(不過,City哥哥勝在每次不用我費神決定髮型,所以下次還是會找他)



怎看也不算太「夏萍」吧?

回家

1 回音
〈回家〉是還在讀大學時寫的歌,那時剛開始喜歡讀Henri Nouwen的書。他在〈The Return of The Prodigal Son〉寫聖經中浪子的比喻,令我對每個角色的理解都比從前豐富。病發我步進了音樂創作的黑暗期,跟家裡的琴對抗了好些日子;後來天星碼頭的示威期間我寫了〈幸福〉--很短很簡單的旋轉,夾雜著這段日子的感想和對這城始終如一的愛。兩首歌在去年聖誕在朋友的音樂會唱過了,一直很想錄一個demo留念。

昨晚只錄了〈回家〉和另一首寫給別人的歌(送給她後才公開吧!),卻再次感受到這幾月回歸校園後神要我學的功課--限制--不斷發現「我不是什麼」和「我不能作什麼」。一個學期的終結,我還在跟沒完沒了的功課和論文糾纏,在壓力指數飆升的季節,我任性指數也與日俱增;所以昨天決意罷工,跑進了錄音室找自己。

限制,也是接受不加修飾的菱角。「唔好咁執著,我淨係想錄demo咋!」是昨天說得最多的話。不tune了,又不是出碟,就讓走音都留下吧!

感謝天父就是那位愛我們的慈父
感謝agwmm的Yvonne願意借出錄音埸地
感謝Hansun仗義幫忙一切灌錄和製作



〈回家〉
曲、詞、vocal:lilnic
piano:hansun

就這樣我又踱回你身邊 讓眼淚不知灑過幾千遍
而我仍遇見那張臉 人已凝住了 心中抖顫
像似沒氣力緊抱祢雙肩 令我愉快但寸步難移的相見
眼眸留影過去 是我令你心碎
逐寸逐分退去 祈求共你抱擁相聚
再倒於你懷裡 盼空間此際允許

玩了 掉了 失了
睡了 夢了 醒了
這場戲快要結束了
我驟覺 沒法像昨天抺掉眼淚放聲笑
從沒變是你兩手捉緊我心跳

就似是貼近了一點你的心意
原來是你從沒變年月縱要退色 仍等我站在門前
遠看你步履蹣跚走到我面前 
還用世上最完美的愛 擁我到懷裡

立見高下

0 回音
雖然還有兩份功課未開頭,但考完試總要hae一hae。昨天每位考過歷史科的同學皆有股怨氣,因為老師出卷確實高明--通通是讓人毫無選選擇的選擇題,每題均有一部分是你沒有把握答的。這樣一來,各人的功力立見高下;真不得不佩服老師的狠。

立見高下的,也是這個從別人綱誌看到的短片。每逢在電視上看到政府的宣傳片,都有股轉台的衝動;是他們「語塞」?還是因為「沒有message」?無論如何,若你有機會替政府拍片,請參考一下Children See. Children Do.(為什麼教育電影不可以拍得漂漂亮亮?對,因為budget。但可能也關乎有沒有heart,有沒有對影像的執著吧?)

beautiful dancing

0 回音

From Original Writer:

When I was in China last month, I saw a Chinese modern dance competition on TV. One couple won one of the top prizes. The lady has one arm and the guy has one leg. They performed gracefully and beautifully.


The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained as one since she was a little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years. It seemed that someone asked her to coach a Children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance. She wanted to dance again. So she started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an arm, she also lost her balance. It took a while before she could even making simple turns and spins without falling. Eventually she got it.

Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a leg in an accident. This guy also fell into the usual denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. She looked him up (seemingly he was from a different Province) and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced. And to dance with one leg? Are you joking with me? No way. But she didn't give up. He reluctantly agreed. ' I have nothing else to do anyway.' She started to teach him dancing 101. The two broke up a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle, control his body, and a few other basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patience with him, he would walk out. Eventually they came back together and started training. They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. She would fly high (held by him) with both arms (a sleeve for an arm) flying in the air. He could bend horiz ontally supported by one leg and she leaning on him, etc. They danced beautifully and they legitimately beat others in the competition.
