Brilliance

非常愛這首歌。
第一次聽到是在電影<<愛的發聲練習>>里。


它也收錄在范晓萱&100%的<<赤子>>專輯。

歌詞是Barbie填的。 Barbie就是大S徐熙緩。選擇用Barbie﹐不知道為甚麼我覺得好貼切。

還有﹐小S編的舞。
每次看完心情都變超好的。


跟著﹐這是小S編的曲﹐而詞是已過世的杨明学寫的。
我沒記錯的話﹐這首歌是范晓萱和小S在他病逝後想要替他完成的。
當時是看節目知道的。好久以前的事了﹐映象有點模糊。
(是<<康熙>>還是<<百分百>>?)看了她們現場唱﹐然後到處找這首歌。
最後﹐是在范晓萱<<還有別的辦法嗎>>專輯里才讓我找到。


我從台灣帶了一堆CD回來﹐聽最多遍的就是<<赤子>>。


而ASOS<<變態少女>>是一張我覺得完美的專輯。


最後﹐十八和十九號的<<康熙>>太好笑了。

I want to watch this

A Single Man. Tom Ford's directorial debut, based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. The trailer feels like a perfume ad at times. But that's to say it's gorgeous. That bit when Julianne Moore throws back her head and laughs? And every single time it closes in on the intensity in Colin Firth's eyes.

Oh, Colin Firth.

The last time I was in the Harajuku/Aoyama/Omotesando area it was cold and wet. On this trip, the sun was shining and bathed everything in golden light. Shadows were dense and dancing, and there were covetable bicycles and pretty sights around every corner. So I got a little trigger-crazy.

I need to stop bringing out so many cameras though. Aching shoulder notwithstanding, the juggling really got to me.

'Do you really like studying?'

Mattia nodded.

'Why?'

'It's the only thing I know how to do,' he said gently. He wanted to tell her that he liked studying because you can do it on your own, because all the things you study are already dead, cold and chewed-over. He wanted to tell her that the pages of the schoolbooks were all the same temperature, that they leave you time to choose, that they never hurt you and that you can't hurt them either. But he said nothing.

- The Solitude of Prime Numbers, Paolo Giordano

I couldn't put this book down. This is merely one of the passages that struck me. I like it, I think, because he said it gently.

在漁人碼頭聽到這首歌﹐才發現這次的離開真的就是旅行的意義。

Test post.


This evil cat was cute till it bit me and viciously, deliberately chased after my feet.

Lesson learnt: Once I am crossed and my affections are lost, I loathe everything about you.

Ikebukuro

It was a cold morning.
I sat at the hotel's smoking corner for the free wifi.
Wearing red socks. They kept slipping down.
Decided to buy new socks from IOIO departmental store but it was only 10am.
Ootoya for breakfast? Haven't had the chance to try it in SG.
Yes! It's open.
Had salmon. Was alright.
Sat by window and wondered why such a large group of people was needed to close off the main road. The Japanese do it most methodically. It's like they have a rule book complicating things.
Waiting to cross the road. Drizzling. Two girls discussed in Mandarin how long my hair was.
Holding damp umbrella and wondering if it's okay to spend so much on a pair of socks. But Vivienne Westwood socks come in the craziest designs.
Paid for socks with credit card.
High school marching band! Girls with cute blue capes!
Pictures. 3GS goes black screen. Panic.
Finish taking pictures. Returned to hotel to attempt to revive phone.
100 yen to use the internet.
No phone. Unable to convert yen to SGD, how was I supposed to shop?
Google Apple service centres. Ginza. Which station exit is the nearest?
No way to tell time? What if I miss my flight?
Panic.
Breathe. Mind clears a little. Google black screen iPhone 3GS.
There it is, the solution.
What would I do without Google?
Head towards station.
What's going on?
Lots of people sitting in neat rows on the road, waiting for something to happen.
In chronological order:

Actually there are more of that morning. But the ones on the Golden Half are magical, somehow. They remind me of every single thing that happened - if not for loose socks and a phone blackout, I would have left Ikebukuro before the festivities started. They're like my portkey.

I really like the pictures taken with the 110 Ikimono camera. It makes me feel like I've gone back in time.
