等價交換

人如果不作出犧牲就什麼都得不到,為了得到某些東西就必須付出同等的代價。那就是練金術中的等價交換原則,那我要犧牲什麼才能得到妳的原諒? we love the sinner but hate the sin.

與魔鬼同行

它一直跟在我背後走了好一段路,談着說着,正想回頭說再見的時候,原來己經走了,不知它何時再來。necessary evil is sometime what we need in this modern world.

moulded by women

mom said i am water, i change my shape with different container, i couldn't agree more on that. my life is moulding by women all the time, moulded for learning new stuff, moulded for stand up on my feet and to be alive again, moulded for liking black only, moulded to be a good man(still trying), moulded to love art and design, they made me a better man but left me, is this how things work? i love you all, you know who you are.

re-constructing a childhood

剛剛幫蓮姨(唯一能溝通的一個親戚)的女兒做完一個小學面試的presentation book,才驚覺沒有和她的女兒談過甚麼,卻快要入讀小學了。拿了好些家庭和生活照片,在scanning之中,好hollywood式地一條trailer閃過腦中,重新架構她們一家的生活片段,有畫無聲,好不怪異,我大約能夠從照片了解她們的生活,但卻沒有content, i missed it all the way。
令我想起上月看過的一套很喜歡的電影 - the final cut,戲中有錢人會植入一個生化晶片到他們的孩子腦中,在他們21歲生日的時候告訴他/她,這是父母送給他們的最好禮物云云。晶片像一個無限大的harddisk,記錄着由他們出生後每一秒從眼晴看到,耳中聽到的一切,戲中主角是我喜愛的robin williams,他是一個生化晶片的editor,當人死去後,他會把晶片內的content整理,剪出一條video有葬禮中播放,戲的內容不在此詳談。有趣的是戲中的軟件怎樣去sorting人一生中的片段分類和editor如何有良心或沒良心地去剪輯別人的一生。鏡頭一轉,回到我的電腦,我也做着差不多的工作,因為presentation book中有數頁是生活照的collage,還要加上caption,硬生生加了自已幻想的語句。覺得設計有時是十分虛假的東西,we gave another layer of meaning or life for things that without knowing the facts。但回頭一想,蓮姨不是己經先編輯了她一家美好的照片才給我嗎?how we present our life to others is always a big issue in this era。就如人生最正面最光輝的一刻就是填寫自己CV的時候。

單人床 / 二人睡

廿多年都是睡在6 x 2.5的單人床上,直至四方街舊居那處,才有一張在上環街市買薄薄的6 x 3床墊,是那種睡久了會從兩吋厚變一吋那些,後來六個月後要再多買一張補上才不覺睡在地上。打從自家搬出後,都喜歡打地鋪,媽說打地氣對身體不好,我却喜歡好像不用有上床和下床這種感覺,當然這只是意識形態已言。後來公司舊拍檔走後,對分了一點錢,買了生平第一張名牌6 x 4雙人床褥。自覺升了格一樣,活動空間突然多了不少,好不興奮。床,永遠有很多故事,現在我的是6 x 5雙人床/一人睡,很懷念那張貼地窩心的單人床,只因有妳...。
