Royal wedding

Here is the royal wedding in the UK, and I was with them almost all time in front of the TV, though I didn't plan to watch it, but Yok was staring at it with all her attention, so it turned out that i enjoyed a lot too.

Some people don't like the royal wedding. They say that the media covers it too much and seems that there is nothing else happening in the world but the couple's marriage. They also say that the wedding is just a bubble of fairy tale, 99.9% of people's life are totally away from it. And they even think that making a wedding day a holiday is just another excuse for British people to have party and go wild (especially inside the square of the palace). Also the public secret of the designer of the bride's dress annoys them, as well as heavy traffic on the street.

However, we have some other people who love the wedding, too. First, they think that it is the shining light spreaded through the grey period of the world. When the economic is down at the bottom and wars is happening everywhere, there is still a lovely pair cheers up the crowd of British. Second, it is not just because it is a royal marriage, but it is a marriage held in the royal family. Marriage itself for me is never a duty or social normative which we need to follow, on the contrary, it is an honor and holy ritual to symbolize the love between a man and woman. The wedding today is a perfect example of how to respect the marriage and take it seriously. Although it is a wedding of few billions of witnesses, it is still a wedding with blesses from the people who love them. Everyone can have chance to hold a wedding with the one he loves, and all they need is not the number of witnesses but the wishes and blesses from the friends and family. More, it is good to see a new member of royal family to be such an elegant lady, and hope she could be the new role model of new generation in the future.

That is to say, don't be too cynical to the media coverage of wedding. Media follows the trend, just like the wedding dress is part of the fashion. And what other news can beat the wedding? Plus that we don't get good news everyday as well as the weather without rain. Why not just enjoy the wedding whether at present or in front of TV. It is just like a movie, a bit longer, a bit simple with no assassination, murder or conspiracy in it. When is our last time to enjoy the sheer joy for one thing happened in the real world?

Forget about the dark side of humanity, even the weather held off today which is a huge bless form the god indeed. Shall we embrace the bright side of human nature and give our wishes to them instead of being critical to it.

Wish they be happy ever after.

關於流行

關於流行是什麼我想每個人都有自己的一套邏輯, 從黑白灰的極簡搭配法則到穿甚麼都行但鞋子一定要很高級的特別品味者, 都是他們自己認同的流行。 當然也有自己走不出的迷思, 有愛買夾克,卻常常抱怨衣櫃裡的褲子太少, 但一出門逛街所倒之處卻還是常常停留在夾克上的偏執狂, 也有打折品才入手不管正價商品有多好的的撿便宜消費者 至於流行單品本身的呈現也幾乎是無法一概而論的, 同樣一件單品可以在兩個完全不同品味的人身上找到,而兩樣看似毫不相干的單品卻也常常可以完美的融入一個人的風格中。流行單品本身幾乎是沒有界線的,是我們自己給航行在流行這片汪洋茫茫然不知所措的現代人們一艘艘不同風格的船來搭乘。 對我而言,自然我是站在某一艘所謂的風格的船上,使用著自己的邏輯,重蹈著自己的迷思來看待流行,其用意不在挑戰任何其他不同品味的消費者,反而是希望再將來的某一天我可以發現自己所搭乘的這艘"風格船"倒底是個什麼樣子。

JOB HUNTING

To be honest, handing in Cv to the retailing store is quite a good fun although long walking to everywhere makes me feel like a dunky--very durable and honest to go forward step by step. Of course, it would be great that I could get a job after this long hunting. I hunt job, and wish all those "preys" can bite me back, at least a bite of inerview. However, this is not the office job, not the "25000 up" ponds job, but it is a job. A job which allows me to dress well, to talk to and observe people. The most important, a job for me to live in London. It has not come yet, but it will be. If 36 CVs to the shops are not enough, then I will hand in 72 copies of them. One of them in this hugh Lodon will be accepted by one gifted manager eventually. Back to CV, I prefer to apply in person rather than apply on line, although it seems that on-line applying is more formal than just pop in the store and say: "hey, is it possible for me to drop my CV here if there is any van...

Norwegian Wood

Yok says that i like this song very much. Yes, I do. Everytime I listen to this song, I feel that I am in the old British house with a strong fire in the fireplace, and it is about 9ish in the evening and it is always in the winter. Most of time I would sit on the sofa, by the side of the fireplace and the smell of old carpet and wood would mix up to become a scent of enternity--old, but timeless. I would repeat the song again and again with eyes closing to let the every little stories of my life run in my mind without any pause. Most of time, I couldn't even have time to think of any event happened in my life, the song repeated itself again. Life is very long if I can live up to 80 years old, but life is also relatively very short, if we only extract the essence of it and compare it with a legth of a song, like the Norwegian Wood, maybe life could be shorter than 2 minutes and 5 seconds. Well, this is what I always think of when listening to the song, and I still don't know ho...
