白虎
小時侯有一年生日,大白送了我一隻白虎毛公仔.那毛公仔十分可愛,而且我是虎年生,覺得這毛公仔特別有意思,接過手開心得不得了.對於那可以為了五毛錢出賣長子名分的大白來說,那是名副其實的一份大禮.可能這禮實在也太大了,突然間大白居然把毛公仔搶了過去張口大咬毛公仔的耳朵(!),弄得整隻耳朵都沾滿了口水~(>_<) 不過因為這禮物,從小就特別喜歡白虎.這次company trip去長隆,看到很多的白虎,大的帥,BB可愛,開心死了!!結果忍不住買了個有BB白虎的cushion...哈哈

期待
終於有機會住瑞金賓館!雖然它就在公司旁邊,出差上海這麼多次到上一趟才進去過(其實是路過).不過當時大家在趕路回公司,也不好意思慢慢走慢慢欣賞那些英國式建築的樓房和庭園.
這次要抓緊機會好好欣賞...^^

小可憐
早上看到飯廳地板有一些污跡,俯身清理時撿到一塊小小的尖勾形狀物體,細看下驚覺那是小白的爪整塊抜了出來!而地板上的污跡都是乾了的血跡.除了地上,小白的身上和脫爪的後右腳也沾了一些血跡,不過不算多.
把事情告訴剛起床的爸媽,大家一起在案發現場研究脫爪的原因時,媽媽發現在餐桌旁的矮櫃上有血跡.因為矮櫃是黑色的,一直沒留意到…用濕布擦過乾凅了的血時散出濃濃的血腥味,擦了好幾遍仍然擦不乾淨,這才知道原來小白流了很多血…小白算是頗哰嘈的貓咪,但當受了傷時卻不會呼叫求救.貓科動物的獨行派天性使然,小白受傷或受驚時會本能地躲起來而不會投靠任何人.這種反應令人更加心疼...
看了醫生,知道內爪的軟組織算是完好,大概吃一個星期antibiotic就應該沒大礙了.而要等爪長好卻需要多月的時間.
為了防止小白舔傷口防礙復原,需要為牠戴buster collar(又名Elizabethan collar,想像一下伊利莎伯女王的大圓企領…噢!多高貴啊!).不過小動物最討厭這玩意,因為戴了collar會令牠們失去方向感和帶來很多不便,而且每次collar碰撞到週遭物件時都會嚇牠們一跳.大家不忍看到小白處於極度慌張的狀態,戴上不到5分鐘已把collar除了下來.
希望牠乖乖不要碰傷口讓它好好復原,不然公公還是要被迫當貴婦的呢…

Coffee
Recently my mind gets foggy from lack of sleep in the mid of the day. Coffee has again become part of my life. Visiting Zambra, a nearby kiosk, after lunch has almost become a daily ritual.
Craving for something sweet, I ordered for a double-shot mocha today. Leaving $33 behind, I walked back to the office happily.
But wait... it is only $16.5 for my lunch from a nice bakery, and a coffee prices its double?!?!?!
Hummmmm... it's time to consider quitting coffee again...

今天第一次在P2SS領詩,因為要加動作和想預備ppt,早兩個星期已經開始選詩歌.對於做事喜歡拖的我來說實在難得,而神給了我一些鼓勵呢!
去年在P2SS聽到一首非常優美的詩歌"敬拜詩",趕緊把歌詞抄下,奈何寫字慢,只抄到一半.之後一直期待再有機會唱這詩歌卻沒有再唱.這次有機會自己選詩歌,當然借機挑了這詩歌.
在兒童詩集找到歌譜高興地唱之際,看到作者的名字時驚訝得連眼珠子都要跌出來...原來詩歌出自Jola之手!
(早知就唔使揾得咁辛苦啦...)
一邊想像著彈結他的Jola一邊預備,心中快樂無比^^
第二首詩歌選了"耶穌愛我",一首時不時會在腦海裡自動播放的詩歌.在網上想找一些可用的插圖時偶爾讀到了這詩歌的背景.這詩歌最初只有第一段,之後的幾段和副歌是後來加上的;而這第一段是寫給一位主日學老師唱給一位垂死的小孩子聽的.突然間,這詩歌不再僅僅是一首用字淺白而且易上口的兒歌,而是帶給小朋友主的安慰和盼望的詩歌.為了想小朋友更容易明白這首詩歌,特意把中文歌詞中較深的用詞簡化,同時預備了英文版.原來小朋友們真的比較喜歡英文版!他們看到英文歌詞時興奮地"哇"了出來(那一"哇"真好聽^^),而且唱的更加投入.
小朋友的歌聲十分動聽,和他們一起唱詩讚美神很享受呢!
不過最感動的是到了故事時間的時候,小L突然在一旁說:"耶穌愛我"...!
對於一個自閉症的小孩,節奏緊迫的主日學不知道有多少可以鑽進他們的腦海.也許是因為"耶穌愛我"這一句在詩歌裡重複了很多遍(中英文各16遍..),所以他記住了.
然而,他能夠記著"耶穌愛我"這寶貴真理的話,主啊,已經不勝感恩了!

dream
An email from YL popped up in my mailbox. With great delight, I couldn't wait to read this unexpected email. In the email, she told me that last night she dreamt about me resigning the company. She was so sad and woke up in the mid of the night.
I also dream about friends and people I know from time to time. In fact, really, it is not some special phenomenon that worths paying much attention. But when I received YL's email, I feel so warm. When there is someone from the workplace would feel sad about your leaving, the relationship with that person may be the most precious thing you can get from there.
Recently another friend also told me that I appeared in her dream. What have I done recently?? Has my mind be flying around at night to say hi to friends??

憶蓮 Live 2007
Sandy和Eason的concert幾乎是每年的定番節目.
今年Eason的concert是歷年來最喜歡的.揉合了多種舞蹈元素,簡單的舞台設計,加上一些搞笑位,整個concert十分好玩.他的聲線唱功好,雖然一如既往會唱錯歌詞又會起錯音(...),但他的歌聲真的扣人心弦.現場聽他唱"浮誇"可用聽出耳油來形容(雖然這樣形容有點老套...).那種狂那種傲,想不出有那一個男歌手可以演譯得比他好.
珠玉在前,對Sandy的concert十分期待.誰知昨天去之前聽到同事說這次concert的口碑一般.心裡沉了一沉.難道她的聲線退步了?不會吧?..
Concert的地點又不熟...又累又睏...再想像一下concert hall的寒冷...越想越無心機...
不過這些都是無聊的想法,因為concert的模式和Sandy的歌聲實在太棒了!
或許有人會嫌她唱了很多冷門歌,或者大部分是慢歌,會覺得悶,以致她開場時會說希望觀眾可以對她有耐性.不過我卻享受得不得了~~
她的歌聲溫婉但穩定有力,高音唱得動聽而不會飄,好性感的聲線啊(~.~)
這concert似乎不是以市場的喜好來定位,而是一班製作人將他們覺得最好的拿出來用心製作了一個他們覺得最好的表演.特別是在聽最後一首歌"Incomplete"時這感受更深.
沒有歌詞的"Incomplete"是Sandy和Anthony紀念洋蔥頭的歌.用這歌作壓軸就像是在告訴聽眾們洋蔥頭對她的音樂生命是何等重要,她是如何地懷念他.

白白豬
回家進門,白爺一邊咪著眼跑過來,一邊可憐兮兮的叫,又擦我的腿,又要摸摸又要抱抱...
雖然天天要他獨個兒守在家到半夜有點過意不去,不過這種對待又只有等他覺得寂寞了才享受得到...
唔...好像有點自私...不過... 哈哈
白白豬~!

週末
爸媽去袋鼠國看大白,本來打算幾個晚上約朋友,留幾個晚上在家裡陪陪白爺,收拾收拾,結果幾乎每天都整天在外.
週末行程擠得滿滿的,正常不會這樣安排時間,但這星期約吓約吓就...
本以為會吃不消,卻異常身心滿足^^
快樂事:

收割
第一次收割,心情久久未能平復..!
幾年前親眼見證一直用心播種灌溉的禾綑被收割,那一刻心裡經歷的戰競至今不能忘懷.
今天再次感受到那份深刻的戰競.
神的帶領真的很奇妙.在未打電話前已自動自覺地把有決志禱文的輔助材料放在一旁...
還需要一點時間去消化今天的經歷...此刻心裡只有敬畏,讚美和感恩..!

享受
在天星碼頭心裡還在猶豫坐灣仔線還是中環線的時候,不知從那裡傳來陣陣的燴番薯香味.反正還沒吃飯,便沿著香味一直找.這是今個秋冬第一個吃到的燴番薯呢!
每年入秋,燴番薯和糖砂炒栗子的車仔檔就會陸續出現,遠遠已經可以聞到香味,想像一下那熱呼呼的番薯或栗子吃進嘴裡,藏在果肉裡的熱氣不斷散發,活像把一個暖包吃進肚子裡,整個人都暖和起來.
今天天氣突然轉冷,抱著一個燴番薯上船,坐在窗邊,既溫暖又涼快,好幸福啊! ^^

solitude in the city
Living in a busy city like Hong Kong, inevitably you're always surrounded by people, whether you know them or not. There are many lonely and forgotten people in the city, but as many, there are people always wanting to get away from the crowd and be forgotten. Their schedule is always packed with meetings, trips, appointments and all kinds of activities.
There were years when work was very demanding and had put me under heavy stress. But I still managed to find myself many moments of comfort -- from a gourmet coffee in my hand, short walks on a quiet street in late nights, the quiet time and silent prayers, listening to my favorite songs... People have different needs for togetherness and solitude. I need the later very much. It is the time to recollect thoughts and calm my nerves.
Nowaday, the much reduced overtime work allows me to ride on the ferry more often. It takes longer to get home but it is a faster way to restore my soul after work. There are of course many other people too, but whether it is at the terminal or on the ferry, I can always go by the window, looking at the scenic harbour and detach myself from the crowd.
The night view of the Victoria Harbour is really beautiful -- luminous buildings in different shape lit up in all sorts of colors, dazzling and glamourous (well, everyone knows...). When the ferry approaches the destination, the movement of the people on the street slowly come to sight. And I can also see people working through the windows of the nearby buildings. Sometimes I'll wonder why they are still working and may be their minds have already flown home or elsewhere...?
On the bus home, I can't help peeking into the flats it passes by. I know it is not good but it is really interesting to catch a glimpse at others' home. You just see different lives.
The night view of the residential area may be less colorful and glamourous than the harbour, but looking from distant, the little light dots are like souls dwelling in small boxes, and every light dot has it's own story. Somewhere out there a life might be celebrating, enjoying time with friends, families...; and somewhere out there a life might be suffering or undergoing some enormously difficult time... It takes my stresses away and brings in a profoundly peaceful night.
