這幾天的氣溫要用變態來形容,這樣的情況還要維持好一個星期
今天早上掉到攝氏-18度,現在冀盼谷底反彈
家裡的水管其實在basement有heat會warm up的,但是最終也戰勝不了低溫,結成的冰柱連接著水龍頭和面盤。恐怕水管已盡破裂,冰融化後便帶來水淹。

想要找好的bakery並不容易, 到h-mart時售貨員給了一小片coffee bread嚐著
口感鬆軟,甜味適中。可是最後都沒有光顧。
原因是以往試食好吃的,買回家後總覺味道有所欠奉。
當時分給你的一小片,細細咀嚼特別珍惜。
然而一大份給佔有以後,價值驟然下落。
少吃也果然多滋味, 又或許人就是有犯賤的心態, 給你一丁點,就會加倍珍惜, 給你完全擁有,只表現得不太在乎。到了最後最後, 麵包來及吃掉就變壞了, 可惜之餘會否還感到遺憾?
還是..你後悔的是當天沒有買下了麵包?

粗框
t 終於回來了,我的胡思亂想又要暫告段落
今次帶回了comme ca的p coat,是我最迷的白色,愛死了
正值瘋狂減價的時節, t說街上碰到許多的港人, 大肆搜掠
為什麼知道他們是hker?
透過觀察,t 給asian guy訂下了一些stereotype
cap不離頭的是korean, 滿臉鬚根的是日本人
香港仔就有t 所說獨特的hk hair style, 還有是加粗框眼鏡一雙
這裡我唯一認識的hk guy中, j先生戴的是calvin klein
k先生used to戴gucci, 剛從港回來的另一位k先生換了fendi
新相識的n先生戴的是prada
其實因為某種原因上, 我對粗框眼鏡有點情意結
也許今年我也要換一副burberry ne

winter storm
First winter storm came finally (dunno how it compares to typhoon durian in philippines but it was thundersnow this morning), feel like I shouldn't have gone to school. The temp was not that really low but it was damn wet. Snow crazily whirling in the air and it was not snow but sleet which hit on my face and melted, and if you look at me you'll think I just washed my face but didn't towel-dry it yet. Waited for the bus for 30 minutes snow accumulated and I became kinda snow woman though I stood under the roof.
Under crazy weather there're crazy people. Had a pretty early class section and when I got to the campus I already saw several snowmen, wondering who had the mood getting up early in the freezing morning to make fun of the not-so-fun weather. Not only that I saw more than 4 people wearing short sleeves and two of them actually were playing with snowball (illusion?~_~")
Just saw the weather forecast the temp will fall terribly low to 2F on sat and the highest of sunday's only 19 (what the...)
Hope you had a good time in hometown, good timing to just escape from the strom huh~!

亦敵亦友的懶惰,跟它糾纏久了,日記都變月記
幸虧t沒有幫我subscribe .mac, 買回來的iwed都用不著
上週日的news heading reads “from 80 to snow in 4 days”
哈囉喂還未, 到仍是daylight saving time的時間
整個城市卻要準備步入陰霾孤寂的季節
以往都是thanksgiving前後才下雪,
往年的thanksgiving還跟他第一次到mitsuwa吃拉麵
對那裡的書店asahiya印象大好, 地方整潔舒適, 光線柔和
架上分門別類放上最新出版的各樣書刊雜誌,
服務員穿著整齊的制服, 帶著誠懇有禮的笑容。
日本人在芝城的人口不多, 唐人就隨處可見, 可笑的是chinatown 沒有一家像樣的書店。
掛著”書局”名號的, 賣的是國產玩具雜貨, 不容易就到兩家真正有書出售的
甫進大門就教人失望 – 昏暗燈光照映著亂七八糟堆砌起的書山, 沒有細緻給分類
拿起數年前 “new arrival”的圖書, 還有一些用如草紙印製成的書籍
加上悠閒傲慢的售貨員, 只能說一句no comment
可能唐人都喜歡到圖書館, 或是轉看洋書了吧
還是許多同胞的知識水平不高?
又或者像大紀元時報所講, 中國同胞患了文革後遺症
當年稍有學識之士或舉止有禮的人都被嚴厲批鬥
以致遺留下來的恐慌令人們對文明文化卻步?
月前一家大規模的韓國市場h-mart 進駐芝城, 佔地廣貨品多不在話下
周邊還開了amore專門店, the face shop等等店舖
加上在local channel run了commercial, 人氣直升
其他亞洲食品市場都面臨危機…
週日一到mitsuwa, 赫然發現asahiya要閉店了
t 說書店是那裡的attraction,中止營業後,不知mitsuwa能否站得住脚
中國城賣雜貨的市場衛生差, 買了過期食品也不出奇
老闆不在乎顧客又照樣買
同樣是開門作業, 經營手法卻不大相同, 是我們的 “獨有風格”吧
難怪老外來到唐人街, 就以為就看到了中國的縮影…

good mornings
總算搞好點了時差,晚上能好好睡一覺
昨天是週日,到了附近的maxwell flea market
(星期天變了flea market day)
maxwell以mexican開的攤檔居多
跟wolff不同,maxwell賣的以雜貨為主
林林總總各式各樣的,有點像女人街
街頭巷尾還有些載歌載舞的,十足嘉年華會
路上還有許多食店,賣相十分吸引
t 說如果在mexican city光顧食店的話,你有100%會肚瀉
so we're lucky we can eat there~
食店的員工都不太會英文,我們又搞不清楚哪個是哪
於是用最原始的手指指方法點菜
要了兩客sandwich (mexcian bread + meat都叫sandwich 架呵?)
還有好勇的試了米白色的sweet
rice drink (tastes ok but i dun like the cinnamon)

收穫還算ok吧
愛極早起,逛了3句鐘仍是11點多而已
之後還可以到peets嘆coffee
到blick art store, design within reach


@design within reach,坐住58k * Eames La Chaise $7,330 (USD)
walmart (tissue shopping)
-->sushi station最後到mitsuwa
我想jet lag過後,要我早起該會很難~
今天 t 說要到sport bar去
早上800 Australia vs Japan
到了ESPN zone, WC breakfast 盛惠$14.99
(送$10的game card,還有souvenir,不賴吧)
lunch到downtown super fancy McDoanld's

想像不到m記會用這般佈置,而可惜大部分食客未有好好愛惜+欣賞

panton chair (verner panton) $225


Prince Aha Stool (Philippe Starck)$87, Vitra (Isamu Noguchi) Prismatic Table $455

Pinot Bistro Table - Round $258


dcw (Eames R) $549



Here comes my favorite heart cone chair by Vernor Panton (1959) $3,175 沒看錯吧~!?
食客就是食客,薯條汽水灑到名師作品都懵然不知
我建議m記應在旁介紹一下這些designer furniture
不然都應標個價,or要求弄髒桌椅的人賠償,好等食客"愛惜公物"
最後"飽覽"m記後,到了nordstrom
竟然又碰上了kite chair~! 還要載了幾塊薯片-_-"


Kite chair (Karim Rashid) $498
好了,我的資料搜集到此為止,多謝觀賞~

jpn trip-1
**鑒於篇幅關係,jpn trip搬家到bongo voyage <--click here
回來這麼多天還未能好好去睡,昨夜更頭痛得很
從來坐長途機都沒有jetlag,今回不知搞什麼鬼
stella說因為我不想回來,所以body clock還停留在日本
人家說, 如果去旅行不跟團, 應該會自由輕鬆許多
我這11天的”自由行”,就行得我腳仔都痹
雖然是累,但就玩得超級開心
感謝t~~

back
just got back to chicago from a great trip:)
the next moment, i found out that i left the memory card on the plane~!!
the pics took in disney land, kyoto and nara are gone......
so unhappy
called the lost and found dept of the airline
but i hv no trust in the way american co. do their biz, low efficiency+ accountability
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
later this evening, my mum brought me another bad news
i can't help much even if i get back to hk
suddenly i feel so rootless, i belong to nowhere
outside the window
dandelion flies in the sky, dandelion scatters over the roof
dandelion gets into my house
dandelion goes wherever wind does

downtown leisure
想起要寫entry的時候剛過了十二時,不知如何可以adjust回昨天的日期…
這幾天總下著雨,樹上剛長出的嫩葉都給打落了,零零落落的掉滿在停泊路邊的車子上 (looks funny though)
到peets去,計劃一下下週的行程,的確未出發,先興奮
之後到了downtown的apple store,看見人頭湧湧
圍觀最新出品的macbook,我也不甘示弱

好吸引呀~~
T想到museum of contemporary art去看andy warhol的exhibit,可惜來得太晚,都閉館了

mca館外攝,有d旅行feel
唯有到museum store逛逛
發現許多新奇有趣的製品,很想把它們都買下來


但鑒於它們都含 “藝術成分”,價格也就…

最後就只買了pinochio measure tape,來量度我天天長大的粗腰
