I Like It White
偶然在thisnext.com上遊走,總會見到吸引人的東西。
盛夏將至,一身肥肉還天天與我同在,不知怎算。其實蠻喜歡穿白色,不過,為了避免有礙觀瞻,減減先啦...
我現在被迫常常要做early bird,應該買這支燈照照了!

Early Bird Ceiling lamp (這個其實是綠色)
很想要這個﹗咦我係六月之星喎,係咪應該諗定要咩嘢禮物呢... ^_^
這個有點灰色還可以,鬆身一點不覺肥﹗
吊床這些在香港寸金尺土的地方簡直是奢想
(thisnext的link壞了,anthropologie也找到)
不過其實女子睡白色床單上是十分危險的事情... 試過加舖毛巾墊底以防萬一... :P

看過艋舺後
台北之旅有人在"光點台北"的店裡買了"一頁台北"及"艋舺",都是台灣版的。(後來我在香港HMV見到"一"只是$69... 肯定買貴咗啦,不值一看... )
上次在台中的戲院第一次看鈕承澤導演的電影,就是"愛",極之不喜歡,商業味很濃。
於是本來沒興趣看"艋舺"的了。
周六晚就煲了"艋舺",竟然很不錯。然後心想,一個因一片成名又在柏林參展的導演,怎麼會下一齣作品是完全另一樣題材另一樣味道的東西?起碼向錢看的香港導演一定不會這樣做,想死嗎?
沒有留意"愛"片最後票房是怎樣,不過相信一定不是得獎作品,對我來說簡直有點浪費時間,除非你是當中一些演員的粉絲。
劉偉強和麥兆輝拍畢"無間道"就只會繼續無間道之類的片種。當然之前還有一堆"古惑仔"。不是說他們不會嘗試其他種類的電影,只是一不離二(如"竊聽"),最緊要穩陣,這是港式電影(港式電視就更甚)。
還有杜琪峰的"黑社會"、"鎗火"等。
只想說鈕導很勇,但從另一個角度看,唔,你想試拍愛情片麼?拍多幾齣非愛情片先不是更好嗎?
兩齣都未看的,建議先看"艋舺","愛"可以不看。

Random Five
1. Le French May看了話劇"Hitch: When Hitchcock faces Truffaut",兩個導演我都喜歡,一見到title便想看了。話劇沒預期中精彩,只是還可以。
2. 這晚看過"Urban Ballet",蠻喜歡。尤其是音樂都配合得很好。舞者都有點近乎懂stunts的技能,他們都著重手及腳的力量,所以女舞者都不是身型修長的一類(如古典芭蕾舞的舞者)。
3. 因為看了"Shame"所以要找"Hunger"來看,在amazon.co.uk上訂回來,沒想到因各種原因分了三次也未看完。只不過是91分鐘吧了。幸而有字幕,他們的英語聽得我很辛苦。Michael Fassbender依然強勁,他飾演的Bobby和神父對話那幕真的好很長啊...
4. 真正習yoga才兩個月左右,那天給我找到這篇"How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body",蠻發人心省。要很小心。主要是兩次遇上要求學生做shoulder stand的導師。第一次不太知道有什麼危險性,做完這個pose還來多個plow,之後右手一部分和兩三隻手指都有點麻痺的感覺,怪怪的感覺持續數小時。起初還以為很快便會散去所以沒有馬上問導師。後來差點要去找自己的物理治療師。有美國網友聽到我初學不久便做shoulder stand都感到驚訝。上網找尋資料才知道這個pose的確有點危險。前兩天另一導師又要我們做shoulder stand,我沒有做她問我為什麼,解釋完她說只要像她建議在頸下加厚墊便可以,我說:I think I'll just take a break. And I have mild low back pain today (她還說這個pose對low back很好)。看完這篇文章,相信我會繼續餘下十個月的合約去上課,不過之後便不會再續了。而且那些twist得太多的stretch,及back bend(其實我的back都不是bend得多少)和neck stretch都會盡量避免。
5. 有沒有留意我放在sidebar的義賣廣告?也在此幫友人推一推其產品吧。Compound Rubber (link on HKTDC)及Concord Medical (link on HKTDC)。有興趣的click來看看。

迷戀和親情式的愛情
遊走於blogger裡未完成又或未開始的草稿中,發現這篇,應該是若干年前買了又未讀完的書...
繼續周國平(永恆之女性)...
"一切迷戀都憑藉幻覺,一切理解都包含誤解,一切忠誠都指望報答,一切犧牲都附有條件。"
"愛至少應該是一種相當長久的迷戀。迷戀而又長久..."
"迷戀越是長久,其中熱烈癡迷的成分就越是轉化和表現為深深的依戀, 這依戀便是癡迷的天長日久的存在形式。由於這深深的依戀,愛又是一種永無休止的惦念。"

穆記牛肉麵
朋友介紹或網上搜尋的好吃之處都不一定次次"捉蟲"的。臨回港的中午,逛過台大之後,我們便打的去了這家朋友介紹的穆記牛肉麵,的確值得再來。
不可錯過的"京醬牛肉絲斤餅"。不過因為早餐還未落格,又想吃那個牛肉麵,這個斤餅只每人吃了一兩件,便打包返港了。
我那碗小的紅燒半筋半肉麵真的不小,吃不完。不過湯底好吃到差不多想全喝掉﹗肥死﹗
菜則沒什特別。
地址:110台灣台北市信義區吳興街239 電話:02-2723-9372
(近台北醫學大學附設醫院,也離台北101不太遠)
後記:水是自助的,剛巧我們拿到兩隻杯子就是天蠍和雙子···

Comfort Women Wanted 慰安婦招募
去了看這個位於牛棚藝術村(Cattle Depot Artist Village)的展覽,因早前在HK Magazine上見到介紹,有空便跑了去,地點著實不太方便(太方便又何來可以給藝術家們攪作呢,現實總是殘酷)。
出生於韓國現居紐約的藝術家Chang-jin Lee(詳情)的研究/展覽。在港的這次展覽主要是錄像/字幕/訪問。慰安婦的訪談我只看/聽了一兩個,太heavy不想再看了(電影"金陵十三釵"雖然只是小說改編,不過都是歷史見證的一部分,展覽中的字幕及聲帶,加上電影給我留下的視覺印象,加起來感覺實在很不安)。
一個廿一歲時入伍的日軍,講述當年目睹的一切。他道出戰爭恐怖的一面,認為錯誤的事情和戰爭都不可再出現。
下面幾句最令人看得不安:
慰安婦的告白也一樣令人心酸。情景比電影更恐怖,更難令人想像。有些當年只有十二三歲,那個年代的女孩都較單純,性行為是什麼也不曉,卻要一夜被多個軍人強姦。
第一次來到牛棚(九龍馬頭角馬頭角道63號),好像去了另一個國度。沒有查看其餘十多個展覽/藝術團體的地方。
展覽至本月三十一日。
展覽至本月三十一日。

上引水產
相信朋友們都是因為某本地雜誌介紹後都紛紛跑去這個今年二月才在台北開幕的上引水產了。說是日本築地的台灣版。
剛巧我們也有看過這個介紹,在盤算應該去阿吉師吃壽司和刺身好抑或這個上引水產好之際,友人們早我們幾天抵達台北,在whatsapp上告知一定要去上引水產。地點是台北市民族漁市場(104台灣台北市中山區民族東路410巷2弄20號 02-2509-9490 )。(附近有一水果批發市場,水果又新鮮價錢又相宜,如果想買水果回港,記得去走走﹗比那個忠孝新生站附近的假日農會的水果選擇更多)
很熱鬧的地方,那天是星期日,十二時多抵達,12:30pm拿了立吞區的籌,要2:10pm才有位。那裡裝潢不錯,很日本的感覺,地方整潔又新淨,除有新鮮海鮮買之外,也有不算很大的超級市場。吃的地方分幾個區:立吞區(站著吃的壽司及剌身)、鮮味區(主要是長腳蟹和大蝦及一些刺身)、火鍋區(shabu shabu)及戶外的燒烤區。
我最想去的當然是立吞區,有人則比較喜歡燒烤。於是12:30pm拿了165號籌(當時叫的是63號籌... 即係有排等),12:40pm便去拿戶外燒烤的籌。
結果是:本小姐為了吃,來回兩邊多次,最後要個多小時吃齊立吞和燒烤。(還有就是,由於個人一向腸胃敏感,較易有腸胃炎,結果回港後的星期三開始腸胃炎,不適了三天,星期三下班後要跑去看醫生... 嗚嗚... )
喝了這個嚴選辛口sake:
其實沒有叫了很多:
立吞人群:
人頭湧湧。
那天應該有32C,熱到呢...
他喝了這個:
鮑魚很不錯:
燒烤叫了這些:
鮮味區的大蟹:
外賣海鮮:
燒烤區:
味道方面兩邊都好吃,食物都新鮮。我最後腸胃炎究竟是不是刺身魚生呢,不得而知... 不過據個人經驗來看機會應該很大。
這餐應該是今年兩次到台灣之行最昂貴的了,事關來台吃的都是便宜一點的東西嘛。其實吃海鮮和刺身這個價錢不算昂貴的了。燒烤區吃了29XX台幣,立吞區一個人吃了17XX台幣。(由於我也擔心吃太多生的食物會腸胃炎,臨回去燒烤區時偷偷地放了些壽司及刺身在喝完了的sake罐裡留給他吃)
由於開張不久,燒烤區暫時營業時間為11am-5pm,立吞區應該至晚上九時。職員都友善,由於我來回跑兩邊時立吞的籌已經叫到168,我的165已經過了,他們都准許我等一會再進場不用從新排過,不過另一同行人士由於不在場而在燒烤區進食中,我便只可以一人進場了,即使假如他稍後想進場也不可以(當然也不會了,因為界時燒烤叫的鮑魚還未上菜)。
最後都沒有去位於天母區的阿吉師了,因為路程較遠。
臨回港的早上(星期二且公眾假期)我們嘗試再來上引水產,當然沒可能等到了,時為11am多要等140個籌。

吃的
整個週末都在吃,打從周五晚就吃個不停... 幾時先減到肥???
周五晚和家人補祝大姊四月份的生日,兼預祝母親節。吃得肚滿腸肥。興奮地喝了兩杯酒。
大家都怕肥,甜品竟然破天方地六人分享兩個。餐廳是我們光顧了數次的Yorkshire Pudding,大姊只來過喝酒,未嚐過他們的晚餐,大家都喜歡。吃個不停但這次結賬比想像中便宜,皆大歡喜。
甜品Sticky Toffee Pudding及Bread Pudding。
周六晚看完Hitchcock X Truffaut去了Langham Hotel basement的Main Street Deli。喜歡這裡的美國餐,選擇不算少,沙律/意粉都可以叫半份。Burger更有十款以上供你選擇。尤其喜歡他們的卡位。
Buffalo Wings和Goat Cheese & Beet Salad。還有Sangria一杯。
近來發覺錢都花在吃的比衣履更多,要檢討... i.e.擺明食好多嘢啦,減肥呀﹗﹗﹗
周日再和母親撐枱腳。去了我喜歡的Cafe Costa。
Lunch set三時前還可以叫。睡到下午一時的周日,兩三時吃個late lunch又可以避開人群,太好了。
頭盆我們都揀了parma ham and melon。
Main course我揀了sea bass with shrimp,母親揀了ribeye steak。
甜品我揀tiramisu,母親揀strawberry gelato。
下午五六時再去戲院餐廳喝ginger honey tea。
