暮水街的三月十一号


故事

每走过一个地方,就有一段故事。
主角只有两个人,背景就是正在下雪的天空,或是正在飘着的雨。

然后故事叠着故事,叠出一个厚度了,
许久之后再一次被翻动,就已经不叫作故事。。。。。。

而是回忆了。

回忆之所以美好, 是因为就算刻意再去重建,
也没办法跟原来的一样了。

(摘自《暮水街的三月十一号》)

一直都提不起精神把这本书看完。昨天终于把他看完了。一值飘荡在我脑海的就是这段文字。无可否认这是一本爱情小说。我一直都认为我不会去看爱情小说,我认为这很浪费时间。但,自从同学介绍我藤井树的小说后,我就对他的书爱不释手,每一次有新书上架,朋友就会让我知道,然后我就会要她帮我买下。如果说我爱看他写的故事,不如说我比较喜欢看他的文字。他每一本书的故事都差不多,但每一次他对每一种我们认为平常而被忽略的事,都有他的想法,用文字具体地描述出来。

我喜欢他用“叠”来引用回忆和故事。回忆是很抽象的,没有人具体的记得每一个回忆,我们往往只记得大纲。在日常生活里,我们在每一分钟,每一个地点,每一个人,做的每一件事,都是我们的故事里的细节。但是, 十年过后,我们并不会记得当年我们在哪一分钟,哪个地点,有谁,做着什么事。我们只会记得,十年前,我们大概在某某地方,好像有某某人参与这类型的事。当我看见“叠”时,很自然的,我把回忆想象成一本本得相簿,把故事想象成一本本的日记。日记记载着我们的故事,而回忆让我们回想当时的心情。

“回忆之所以美好,是因为就算刻意再去重建,也没办法跟原来的一样了。。。” 记得有一晚,当我带着疲累的身体奔驰在回家的高速公路上时,988 里传来“星星笼罩着整个city... ...”。 我望着前方上空,突然有种莫名的感觉,好像自己在一本小说里,看着一个作者形容满是星星的夜空。这是当时的突然而来的感动。突然觉得自己身处完美的世界里,又好像处于现实与完美的交界处。这是我的故事吧!可能只是一刹那的触动,对别人来说只是感情过于丰富的幻想。但是,这就是我的故事,我的回忆。

其实,回忆不一定要很隆重,每一件发生过的事,都是我们的回忆,我们的故事。就算只是和朋友无聊的谈话,和弟妹们嬉闹,和父母的嘴角之争。。。都是我们的故事。你的回忆又多厚呢?

A boring night

Have you wonder what a boring person will come out with in a boring night? here it is ~deng deng deng deng~


For sure some of you can't understand what I'm writing there. It's just some stupid conversation between these 2 cups of wines. The translation is as below:

Red wine asks: Why are you yellow in colour?
White wine answers: This is because of the lighting.

So, it's just a boring and so called "cold" jokes that a boring person can think of in a boring night. Ya, I know that I'm bored enough to create this. Anyway, I just wanna add some sentences into the photos that I shot 2 days ago. He he...

你不是真正的快乐

现在是晚上十一点零七分,大家好,我是你们的带班DJ.

五月天刚发了他们的新专辑,主打歌是“你不是真正的快乐”。你听了吗?
你每天挂在脸上的笑,是因为你真正的快乐吗?还是只是你带上的一道面具。
你其实是难过的。

人生本来就不会万事如意, 我们本来就不应该把感情压抑。
有时可以单纯点,难过就哭,开心就笑,不必因为身边的人笑,而你其实不开心,也得苦笑。
别人看了也不会开心。

人生不会万事如意,但也不会万事不如意,你应该得到快乐,因为你身边还有很多支持你的人。
你是值得快乐的。

这首歌的副歌虽然是“你不是真正的快乐”, 但是,我相信,五月天要告诉我们的是“你值得真正的快乐 ” , 所以,不要再惩罚自己,脱下你的保护色吧!

送上这首五月天的“你不是真正的快乐", 希望这首歌能唤醒你真正的快乐。晚安!

你不是真正的快乐

作词:五月天 作曲:五月天

人 群中 哭著 你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会梦 或痛 或心动了
你已经决定了 你已经决定了
你 静静 忍著 紧紧把昨天在拳心握著
而回忆越是甜 就是 越伤人了
越是在 手心留下
密密麻麻 深深浅浅 的刀割

你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
这 世界 笑了 於是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则 不是 你的选择
於是你 含著眼泪
飘飘荡荡 跌跌撞撞 的走著

你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧 却像隔著银河
难道就真的抱著遗憾一直到老了 然后才后悔著

你值得真正的快乐
你应该脱下你穿的保护色
为什麼失去了 还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让 悲伤全部
结束在此刻 重新开始活著

龟仔- 阿B

我有只龟仔,它叫阿B。。。
阿B 很坚强,
它是在六兄弟姐妹里还活着的一个。。。

养了它大概五年吧,
那时我还在读高二,
那时它有其他五个兄弟姐妹,
那时鱼缸里还有喜欢玩小石头的大头鱼,
那时楼下还有一只看到水会发抖的BOBBY仔(一只狗)。。。

他们都在时,家里真的热闹不少,
龟仔们很喜欢爬上爬下,每天都听到“扑通” 的水声;
大头鱼喜欢玩出水芙蓉,整天都听到撞头声;
BOBBY 仔很乖,平时都不出声,但是晚上放它出来时,一定听到它的“狂跑”声;

现在,没那么热闹了,
只剩下鱼缸里的流水声还有十只金鱼。。。
大头鱼不在了,BOBBY仔也不在了,阿B 我也把它放了。。。
五年来,阿B 长得很大了,家里没有足够的空间让它玩乐,
一只龟仔,也该到外面去看看世界了吧!
上两个礼拜,阿B 回归大自然了,
现在,该和朋友聊着天,看着无限的天空吧!

阿B 要乖哦!要学会保护自己!

Kungfu Panda - luv it!!!

Yesterday I went out with diyana, we actually planned to have ice-skating, but later on we decided to watch a movie (I'm hoping so long to watch Kungfu Panda and she claimed that she din go for a movie for quite a long time). So, yeah! we watched our Kungfu Panda. Let's have a look at the trailer first~ lolz



haha, if you ask me whether i would like to watch again, i'll answer "YES! WHY NOT?" it is really a nice film. Since the movie started, both of us started to discuss about the models, texturing, design blablabla... it is quite fun to look into those elements while watching a movie. Of course, we din really pay too much attention to those elements after first few minutes of discussion, we just wanna sit back relax like others. When the movie reached its funny parts, the whole cinema filled up with laughter, some small kids even shouted! hahaha, so cute~

About the story, i'm sure you can find it anywhere~the story is quite simple as what we had learn, it roughly applied with the 12 stages in the heroes journey. The design are really nice, i like those bowls and lanterns, they looks real. From models to rendering and animation, all are awesome! There is 2 things that bothered me, the pau and the tortise (Oogway). First, talk about the pau, it looks nice and cute, but it looks quite shinny and hard to me~ Secondly, I like the character Oogway (i like him the most :-P), but it's shell looks too nice and the edges are too accurate (~.~" i feel la~) Other than these 2 things, i like the movie very much! So, just ignore these. hahaha. May be this movie is meant to be cute and lovely, that's why every elements are cutely designed and modelled. hehehe...

This morning, when i was reading the newspaper, i read an article about the movie mistakes that caused in some movies, Kungfu Panda is in the list of it. I think I'm going to re-watch the movie if it is possible. The mistakes that MovieMistakes points out are quite interesting~ if you wanna have a look, please check it out here: http://www.moviemistakes.com/film7407 ~ hahaha... everyone can make mistakes, it is rather we realize what mistakes we had made and take it as a lesson than blaming ourselves of causing them. ;-P

Anyway, think about it~ it is fun for us to enjoy the movie as a normal audience in the cinema. If wanna look deeper into that movie and examine their models and other stuff, we can just go and buy the DVD and replay again and again in our~ lolz. I personally like this movie and enjoy it a lot!

*p/s: ou ou ou! shifu is damn cute!!! ~ hehehe

量地的日子 ^_^

最近毕业了,也等于失业吧...唉~
亲朋戚友看到我的对白都是酱的:

"放假啦?"
"不是啦!毕业了!"
"哇, 读了酱多年,终于毕业啦! 找到工作了没?"
"还没啊~ 还在找..."
(回答A) "哦~快点找咯~ 让你的爸爸妈妈休息了,享福了..."
(回答B) "哦~休息下吧! 慢慢找,不要急..."
" ~.~ 哦~ "

唉,每次的对话大概都是酱的,有点闷啊!
说起量地啊~ 也真的不大爽。
每天好像废人酱,是有做点事,但是都提不起精神来。
现在呢~是希望快点把手头上该做的事,
该在职业生涯开始前整理好的事务快快做好,
就可以安安心心丢信了!
看着办吧~ 加油加油!
要开始做好另一个工作生涯的心理准备了!
哟~ 攉! 攉! 攉!

my puppets

my final year project: a story of the consequences when human show their greed in a cursed puppet town.



the design style is influenced by the painting of Seah Kim Joo.

by Seah Kim Joo, 1968

The Bongocero

this is an assignment based on a selected song by the lecturers. the song "Bongo Bong" is by Manu Chao. the lyrics is quite cute, let's enjoy it!

Artist: Manu Chao
Song: Bongo Bong

Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie
I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong...

the story is about the journey of a monkey bongocero to the town to attend a singing competition. he is not welcomed by the town monkey thus he is sent back to his place.
