年初

一定要喝一杯咖啡來和新年說聲Hi,於是挑選了曼巴咖啡豆,來手沖,看著熱水潺潺穿過曼巴豆粉形成咖啡,想起了一件小事,第一次喝到曼巴咖啡的時空裡。


那是一間在中山北路新娘街道的尾巴,過了地下道然後在2樓的咖啡店,很家庭式也很少裝潢,當然更少客人,好像只有我吧,要去櫃台點,所以找到位置(因為都是空蕩蕩的,很難找適當的位置),一杯一百左右,忘記確實金額(畢竟12年前的事了),第一次被詢問要怎麼泡咖啡,是手沖還是虹吸式又或著espresso,想了一下就手沖吧!第一次有人在我面前沖咖啡,白色的濾紙撒上咖啡粉,然後墊在杯子上面,金色的細長嘴的壺,透過老板的手,一圈一圈的倒在濾紙上,他說這沒什麼,只要你每天練就很容易,那時候只覺得喝杯咖啡而已,不要太複雜,而且這店就我們二人,你是可以很常練齁,總之最後喝下去的時候,只覺得,就是黑咖啡嘛!


那時還不懂如何愛咖啡,或許也還不能體會什麼是愛吧,只知道喝這杯咖啡光是看他用的時候就比我喝完的時間要長了,可是不能不承認,到現在回想起咖啡的模樣時,都是他在我面前不急不徐的沖泡的樣子,店可能也倒了(那時候就要倒不倒的了),也不知道他有沒有再幫別人沖泡,只知道現在我喝著咖啡,偶爾回想起那間破破的2樓咖啡屋和裡面的老板,任何事物只要獲得人的關注,就是永遠了,永遠在人的腦海中吧,現在當然不只喝曼巴,任何淺中深的烘焙出來的咖啡都是我嚐鮮的咖啡,也不只是手沖,任何變的出咖啡的手法都試試,但是唯有那個人的手沖是停留在腦海裡。


所以年初就來沖泡一下曼巴,感受一下過去的咖啡,再來迎接未來吧,沒有過去就不會有今天的我,雖然受傷,但是心境很美好,新的一年,來吧!不管多痛苦多累人,喝杯咖啡再努力,人生不就這樣。

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...
