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。

> Paris is not as terrible as hell, it has its own strength, anyway. people dance, sing and do all kinds of performance on the street to attract tourists. Maybe it is a way of living, but for me, it is a way of releasing their desire and a way of addressing the city of art. they are the representatives of the vigorous side of Paris. If you ask me how do I mark the Paris, I would say: low pass. Too many visitors ruin the face of ths city, I should have come to Paris in the winter. Let the cold winds freeze the smell of sweat and stink subway, let the heavy duffle coats wrap people's rudness and greedy eyes to the tourists, let the heat of street preformancer glow the Eiffel Tower, let me attract by this city. it is not quite fair to judge Paris from a visitor's point of view. Because what is good in Paris has been there so much longer than the people in the city. the seine river, and the countless bridges across it. the splendid buildings and tower, the bule sky and green tr...

(極短篇,2007年)洗澡。水<下>

B好像看出我的疑惑般道出「這種事情改變起來也沒有不方便啊, 沒必要弄得沸沸揚揚嘛!更何況沒注意的是你, 還有你們家大樓水管理處的疏忽,就讓你多洗幾次澡這點來看, 應該可以要求民事賠償呢!我們已經融入的怎麼想也不會覺得不合理啊。」 我沒理會他的解釋,乾脆就直接的問 「那….那你們怎麼清潔身體,總不會用砂吧,那是小說的情節別胡來了……」 「當然不是阿,砂這種壓迫性的物質不適合現代人了, 我們都是用電磁波……電磁波你知道是什麼吧,曾經有人以為是致命物質呢, 現代化就不一樣,像咖啡啊酒啊的好壞還不是三番兩頭的顛倒, 是是非非經過才知道,而且用電磁波洗澡的替代方案真得很省時呢!」 「想想看,一天省15分鐘,愛洗兩次澡的就省了30分鐘, 保守估計一星期多出105分鐘,一個月450分鐘,一年…… 450乘12是多少…對…5400分鐘,也就是90個小時, 瞧瞧,省下這麼多的時間拿去旅遊都夠了, 人家不是說由小處節省會有大效果嗎,就是這麼回事啊!」A認真的分析著 「可是省掉的時間總有一天又默默的溜走啦,有這個節省的必要嗎?」我反駁 「……既無臭無味又不用擦乾,而且隨時都可以淨身, 手機,電視,音響,還有在每天都要停駐的電腦前面,跟朋友聊天的當兒, 無意間就洗好…喔不對…不能用洗字…是無意中就消菌了… 還要多虧科學家辛辛苦苦找出來的替代方案呢!」又是A在不理會我的爭辯下大放厥詞。 「好處還不只這些,應用得宜的話,開一個取代公共澡堂的『殺菌室』,又是促進一個產業的興盛呢!」…… B得意的彷彿青年實業家,為了一個可能的發明竊喜。 夠了!我心裡想,你們被洗腦了嗎,有多少關於洗澡的樂趣被剝奪, 多少興奮的感覺從此絕跡, 這不是長毛象消失或那種孤零零的遠方的星墜落一般的輕嘆一聲就好了 , 沒有人想過連洗澡的記憶都要珍藏的吧……一個人洗,跟女人一起洗, 還有當兵時大家和在一起亂洗的日子怎麼可能一夕之間便成過去, 偏偏洗澡這儀式又不好意思拍或錄下來,又不是偷窺或暴露狂, 怎麼可能三不五時記錄自己的洗澡生活呢……真是夠了! 「是嗎!我偏要用錢買水,偏要貫徹洗澡的意志!」我忿忿的跟大家吼著 ,雖然不能洗澡也不是他們的錯,但是一副接受事實很好的鄉愿般的嘴臉, 看了就討厭,好歹也稍微掙扎或是跟我一個鼻孔出氣一下也好嘛…… 我又用力的掃視大家一回。 「……」滿室陡地剩寂靜在發呆。 下班第一件事就是衝去賣場買水...
