The taste of food

朋友介紹鵝頸橋街巿熟食中心的波仔車仔麵檔。每次吃完車仔麵一定需要喝很多
水,因為湯底充滿味精,把所有材料混在一起便算。跟其他不同,波仔選用的郤是
濃味的牛汁湯底,粗麵和幼麵是用濃味牛肉汁乾「lo」。根楠肉肥味,材料份量大
(一半材料,一半麵),價廉物味。

關於跑步 我說的其實是......



村上春樹的名字常掛在文化人的囗邊,但是我郤不熟悉他的作品,只看過入門作品<聽風的歌>,印象不深刻。今次被書名「關於跑步 我說的其實是......」吸引着,特意找來看。原來作者是位馬拉松愛好者,從1982年開始差不多每天跑步,每年參加一次馬拉松賽事,連續二十三年透過跑步強化身心以支持着寫作生活。「雖然是一本跑步的書,郤不是關於健康法的書。...只不過是把持續跑步對我這個人是什麼的事情,重新仔細思考,或自問自答而已。」

「小說家這種職業-至少對我來說-沒有勝負之分。雖然也許發行册數、文學獎、評論的好壞可以成為一種成就的指標,但那並不能算是本質上的問題。寫出來的東西能不能達到自己所設定的基準,比什麼都重要,而且是無法隨便找藉口的事情。對別人或許可以想辨法適度說服,但對自己的內心郤絲毫也無法蒙混。在這層意義上,寫小說和跑馬拉松很類似。基本上對創作者來說,動機是確實在自己心中安靜存在的東西,不應該向外部求取什麼形式或基準。」

我不是藝術家,只是一位馬拉松初哥,但對他的說法也有同感,看似沈悶簡單重複的動作卻隱藏了無窮無盡的變化。它能令我面對自己的身體,了解它的變化。從呼吸、身體各部份的配合伸延至精神上如專注力、持續力,一步一步地令心靈「安靜」下來。這個「安靜」能聽着自己的聲音,自己設定的基準、步伐去完成任何事情,不需受外界的影響而令自己的步伐大亂。這不過是我這兩三年開始跑步所感受到的「皮毛」體驗,還繼續探索思考和實踐着。深信如果沒有重遇自中學後停下來的跑步和練習,也許無法堅強地從傷痛的經歷中站起來,一步一步重新認識自己。
一直佷想從文字或其他途徑表達出來,但沒有切入點。村上兄在這個長跑練習旺季出版中文譯版給了我一個鼓勵。距離馬拉松的比賽只剩下一個月,深知練習不是很足夠,也追不上來,盡量享受過程,完成比賽巳很滿足。

The taste of food 22

兩人對酌山花開、一杯一杯復一杯

我醉欲眠卿且去、明朝有意抱琴來



近年愛上了日本清酒,除了喜歡它那入口清醇的芳香,還有每支清酒也擁有一個美

麗的名字。繼「一期一會」後、很喜歡以中國酒仙李白詩句為名的「兩人對酌」。

雖然此洒只是純米吟釀,但是如介紹,入口層次分明,飲後口中亦帶有芳香。如詩

句一樣,令人回味無窮。

清酒的學問實在太深奧了,造酒的技術層出不窮,就像品嚐到一支好的清酒後,令

你繼續沈迷下去,探索下一支美酒...不過好的清酒一點也不便宜,唯有慢慢培

養...

Amazing amazon

次在amazon 訂購東西,雖然用international standard shipping,但是不需一個

星期便收到了!比原定的到達時間(一月)快了很多!也許,也許是時候習慣一些

technolgy帶來的方便...

iPhone testing diary- project poloraid

Thank you dumbboy for introducing this free apps " project poloraid"
to me!
I can take b&w & poloraid- like pix from my phone and view the effect
immediately.
Although the quailty n photographic experience is totally different
from dark room developing or shooting with real poloraid , still a
good substitution when poloraid stopped their production line.

iphone Testing Dairy



The Vint B&W is a free apps which allow u to take b&W photo from the in-built camera directly.
I was asked to show an object which can represent my district one day.Without any preps, i just showed one of the trail b&w pix from my mobile. The teacher who sat next to me showcased her A4 b&w photographic work about her district.
There was a chemistry between us....Feel like we were stepping from the old to a new "technology era" in a split of sec...

The taste of food 21

還記得第一篇the taste of food是關於krispy kreme的donnut,那次買了一打回公

司跟同事一起吃的喜悅。某次在times square工作,本想買一個original及一杯

illy咖啡來 「振奮」一下,但是太多東西要做,沒有時間。誰知在數星期後便結

束營業。幸好,在上機前還能與它再見面及道別...感慨,想做的、想吃的、想說

的、想愛的便行動...它會在你意想不到下溜走...

New life

在經濟衰退下,整間產房仍然充滿着初生嬰兒...

一位工作媽媽曾說過,:「窮有窮養,貴有貴養...」,可是,對未婚人仕來說,生

育小孩需要很多金錢,是一項終生兼沒有回報的投資。而且還不能預計你的伴侶會

否願意和你一起承擔,香港的教育制度同樣令人擔憂。也許是想多了,還慶幸,不需

面對這些煩惱,不需與任何人交代,報告...繼續享受自由自在的生活...

我的外生女,我是喜歡和你一起玩,侍你大個後和你一起shopping,不過供書教學的

責任,由你的父母來承擔...

Why .看.馬國明



一向認為自己也算幸運,工作也是自己喜歡的興趣,還有令自己認識及擴闊興趣的機會。得知馬國明先生和他的曙光圖書從江瓊珠的紀錄片「why Benjamin ,why馬國明」。那時因為是前公司贊助了放影場地,所以才有機會知道這位愛書人,怎樣在沒有amazon及網上購物的年代,不計較盈利,為更多愛書人帶來更好書籍。

某天,在亞麥看到馬先生的「全面都市化的社會」,是「進一步」出版的「一步十年」系列之一。短短的八十多頁,精銳地說出全面都市化為本土生活文化帶來的沖擊及改變。
由近年政府鼓吹的市區大型重建活化項目如旺角朗豪坊、西九文娛區,外界對天水圍悲情城市的看法等都市化轉變,簡確地分析了繁榮盛世及提昌生活消閒質素背後所忽略的根本問題。

這是一本值得任何人閱讀的書籍,讓你從繁忙的生活突然停下來反思一切社群的現狀。與其組織什麼機遇委員會,倒不如用三十草買一些由關心本土民生的獨立人仕,用心寫出來的聲音給月入三十多萬的高官們用3個鐘 lunch hour來閱讀...

Kino



每年十一月份,總會想起歌德的Max電影節。
開幕電影及opening party總是影迷、
藝術圈中盛事!去年和今年亦設有免費戶外放影。
在fringe club的天台放影着精選短片,觀眾隨意走動、拿着飲品、
遇見友人可邊談邊看,整個氣氛十分casual、舒服!在秋高氣爽
的晚上舉行,感覺十分良好!自從上年第一次參與後便愛上了!
註:Max今年改名為kino,更設合電影節的德文原意。

The taste of iphone

擁有iphone的好處是...
每當乘搭公共通工具(如現在...在巴士..),遇上狂咀狂抱的年青男女在前面,
可立刻拿出它上網,
,聽歌,Check email,寫blog...避開直視不想看的影像...

The Taste of Food 19







友人介紹位於銅鑼灣小角落的日本小店,是夜叫了一客牛油魷魚,店中排行榜首位的Soba(即蛋薄餅加烏東omelet)及豚肉加椰菜omelet.
味道剛好,材料新鮮及貌似淺野忠信的chef在你面前即場做菜....不用旅行也置身於日本....
這是一頓每一口也令你感受到快樂及強烈感覺到chef對食物,對客人珍重的晚餐...

The Simplicity of Time

If u leave on time, your boss/colleague may think u have nothing to do.The situation will getting worse if u're not a fast player. It seems you are not "dedicated" to your company or to be a team player...

The definition of "Time" is not only the passing of endless secs, mins and hours ; or a limited period during which an action, process, or condition exists or takes place*
but affected by human perceptions,behaviors & values...

Since i am trying to seek "simplicity" in life, i will keep up on my sacred daily "work on time (or earlier) and pack my bag before 630pm" ritual. :)

維港

每天望出𥦬外,也感到有點傷感,窗外唯一的維港正在進行填海工程。
海岸線一天一天地收窄,對面的高樓大廈也被混沌的空氣蓋着.....

iPhone testing dairy 2 - Get a 2D code



2D code for bunbun78 blog



2D code for Table56 blog -- a music blog co-write with my 3 indie-music buddies!

Just found out this interesting Free App for iphone user (both 2G & 3G):
Neo Read
By using the in-built phone camera, we can scan the 2D code and get direct access to the related URL.It is interesting to watch the animation demos for the practical use of this application.

The 2D code can apply to all printed materials,they even suggest u to get a 2D code tattoo!
Since the 2D code is not popular in HK , it only works for me if i tattoo my ID card no into 2D code, so if something happen to me, they can scan my tattoo and get my ID no to identify this nameless-dead-old woman body from the street...
Sounds like a prisoner in the concentration camp...

A New Mobile Me life



after reading the "iphone 3G" leaflet for a few days and talking with a few iphone 2G current users/friends..decided to give it a try ...
time to catch up with the mobile technology and to get a taste as a "half-Mac-user".
Most people say Mac design is simple and clever than PC...
Just see how "smart" is it....

The Taste of Food 17




近期喜歡進行一些中年男性的行為,喜歡往 english pub飲啤酒看波,睇桌球;是夜又一「老」舉動——靜靜地坐在bar台飲sake、食枝豆、食串燒類…

The 11th Hour




想看 inconvenient truth 已有一段時間 。朋友再次提及此片,終於在hmv買回來看,hmv哥哥還介紹了由 Leonardo Dicaprio 監製的 The 11th Hour紀錄片給我。
一連看兩套環保 documentary,心裏並不好受。如果想把生活現狀改變,一切唯有從自身開始。片中的一位專家曾說: " living in slow and frugality"… 慢慢感受生活、足夠便可;與其不斷從大自然中拿取資源,也許應學會懂得與大自然為友並建立 give and take 的關係…
