玉子將軍

相比起去年的玉子將軍漢堡, 這回的味道進步了不少. 我其實不太喜歡照燒醬味, 這次甜味少了, 或許多了沙律醬味, 星期二午飯時買了來吃, 非常味美. 然後星期五又吃!

有蛋的將軍漢堡, 真的非常不錯. :)

我揀3.

兩首歌

這個星期最喜歡的兩首歌:

1. Dolores O'riordan 的"Fly Through"(youtube/歌詞) (此碟裡還有喜歡"Tranquilizer"及"Stupid")

2. Zee Avi的"Let Me In"(youtube/歌詞)

Have a nice weekend!

幾本書

看今期Newsweek, Joyce Maynard介紹了四本好書"Best. Books. Ever.":

Time Will Darken It ~ by William Maxwell
~ a quietly profound novel about family and the redemptive power of love
不過看內容介紹, 不太有興趣...







Plainsong ~ by Kent Haruf
~ a book that our president took on vacation with him, but I loved first
連Obama也拿去讀, 好像有點吸引. 不過看完簡介... 未必是我想看的東西...









The Executioner's Song ~ by Norman Mailer
~ a book that reminds me to locate compassion for every single character
wow... 有關死刑的... 有點heavy...









Goodnight Moon ~ by Margaret Wise Brown
~ the best example of how much a writer can say in very few words
兒書來的...




唔, 如果度假要你拿本書去看, 你會拿本什麼書?

失憶

看了高錕和他太太的訪問, 患老人癡呆症的病人, 從來都是身邊的人受苦更多.

有說高錕獲諾貝爾獎, 他卻可能忘記了自己的豐功偉績. 其實可以忘記的人, 總比記性好的人有福.

他太太說: 那個人已經不在了(意謂現在的這個他已經不是從前的他). 她也曾哭過一段日子.

可以選擇的話, 當然我寧願做失去記憶的那個, 忘記壞的事情, 不愉快的東西, 無奈地順理連快樂的事情, 什麼功名成就都要忘記. 相信總能記得一些近期發生的人及事.

記憶像潔淨的白紙, 人根本始終都不能帶走任何東西, 只是早一點把一生的記憶放下吧了. 始終都是幸福的.

吃的

是日午餐: 牛坑腩蕃茄湯米線

順道買了個甜品, 作為獎勵忙了兩天的自己... :) 喜歡這個紙袋

結果因為同事last day買了西餅給我們...
這個榛子卷或留作明天早點

Proust Questionnaire

It's good to have such convenient questionnaire when I'm too tired to think what to write about in such a busy week... hope it won't take too long...

1. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
oh god... I think I am giving myself a headache at this time of the "day"... well... perfect happiness... is enjoying the time with my loved ones, anytime, anywhere...

2. What is your greatest fear?
apart from all kinds of CATS, then it should be death, the death of loved ones

3. Which historical figure do you most identify with?
hmm... I have to admit... (back then when I still believed in fortune telling) a fortune teller used to say I am Mulan... ok, please don't laugh

4. Which living person do you most admire?
difficult question... oh right, my MUM!

5. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?
hmm... maybe a bit too lazy and not ambitious enough

6. What is the trait you most deplore in others?
hypocritical

7. What is your greatest extravagance?
not much actually... a pair of glasses which cost me $4000 (and criticized by a friend lately for making me look "leung"... :( ), some shoes... and hair cut/color/treatment which cost around $2700 (ok, I only do that once a year now!)

8. On what occasion do you lie?
I don't see that as lie... I just hide the truth... :P

skinnier! Well... actually more than just that! How about determination and happier

12. If you could change one thing about your family what would it be?

I don't believe in reincarnation and I'm not gonna answer this

The Eye Test

Deep Down You Are Intuitive

You're the type of person who understands other people and the world very well. You don't let on to how much you know. You can tell so much from someone's facial expressions or tone of voice. And you always know when you're being lied to. You show the world exactly what you want to show. Besides being good at reading people, you also know how you're being read. You know when you're being manipulated, and you know how to manipulate someone if you have to. You usually don't resort to it though!

美極

我最喜歡的調味料可能是美極醬油. 尤其是吃蛋的時候.

不論荷包蛋抑或烚蛋, 沒有美極, 有時寧願不吃. 不過去西餐廳時又真的不會有美極, 難道自己帶去?

有時午餐想吃蛋, 會去買個餐蛋通粉. 外賣又怎叫人給我美極呢? 吃豬柳蛋漢堡時當然不會加美極了.

近日終於買了一支美極放在公司. 是日吃西洋菜水餃魚湯米線都落了一點美極, 太好了.

現在我的辦公室私人大櫃子裡, 吃的就只有兩個杯麵和一支美極. :)

兩齣

簡略說說感受.

The Time Traveler's Wife (時光旅的戀人)

沒有看原著, 或許看過原著的都會非常討厭此片. 我倒覺得還可以... 唔, 怎樣說呢, 都有感動位, 流了些眼淚.

愛上這樣一個男人當然可憐. 他說: You have a choice. 她說: I don't have a choice. 她有選擇嗎? 或許有. 當愛情帶來眼淚多於笑聲時, 我們都愛說: I don't have a choice.

樂觀一點看, 我卻羨慕他們的女兒. 父親永遠都是四十歲左右, 什麼時候都可以探望他, 多好!

"I don't want you to spend your life waiting." 不過無論他怎樣不說, 她們都一直在等他.

Fame (我要高飛)

當年有看過第一齣, 忘了內容, 不過記得印象頗深刻. 單是主題曲都耳熟能詳.

這回有點失望, 多個角色描寫都不夠深入, 沒有一個會令你看完喜歡上他的. 或許導演野心太大, 希望什麼都有一點, 結果是印象不深. 看碟/等電視播算了.

唯一值得一讚是"現實終歸是現實"的刻劃, 多麼的真實.

今年月餅比併

祝中秋節快樂!

其實時至今天也有許多個月餅未吃未試. 寫了一點評語. 你們今年又吃過哪個品牌最好吃?

美心雙黃白蓮蓉 ~ 年年必吃. 今年有人覺得蛋黃不及往年好吃.








醉榴香冰皮 ~ 二姊買來吃, 非常好味!!! 和吃真的榴槤沒有兩樣.











東海堂雙黃白蓮蓉 ~ 有人說皮又軟蛋黃比今年的美心更好吃. 我覺得蓮蓉略嫌硬一點.










半島迷你蛋黃金黃蓮蓉 ~ 大姊買的. 我覺得最好吃. 比美心及東海堂更好吃.











半島迷你奶黃 ~ 好味. 不過我始終比較喜歡傳統的蓮蓉月餅.








九龍香格里拉(香宮) ~ 好吃! 和半島差不多. 好吃過美心. (多人讚賞, 掂!)








香港香格里拉(夏宮) ~ 吃了一口, 不太能說出質素.

九十幾

閒談間, 說到親友中都認識到數個有九十多歲高齡的長輩, 我說: 千萬不要讓我有九十多歲命, 很怕.

母親笑說: 你? 唔會喇...

我: 哈, 點解呀, 好難講架...

母親: 你都唔錫身.

我: XX好錫身咩? 佢成日食埋哂啲XXX...

母親: 佢點都錫身過你啦.

無語 :)

永遠懷念

本想在guest book上寫句"永遠懷念你Danny", 卻被麻煩的fan club師奶們東拉西扯, 好像在告訴你: 你不是寶珠姐, 只需要簽名爭取Danny納入"杜莎夫人蠟像館"便可以了, 那本大的guest book, 留給其他大人物吧... 唓! 我鍾意咗Danny廿幾三十年喇! :(

今夜星光燦爛嗎?
