hanger

米國沒有生果好吃, 什麼新奇士橙多是出口剩了的籮底貨, 最新鮮好吃的要算是香蕉了。自從前陣子買了andy warhol 的banana print tote bag以後就經常吃香蕉, 因為人很累想有點"蕉"氣。翻看手機的照片竟然發現n年前在bed, bath & beyond拍下了本世紀最大發明, 現在跟大家分享一下.....


















兩款不同樣式的banana hanger....

因為試考完了,有點時間無聊一下, 哈
下星期就要回來了,未出發先發夢...

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…

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

clean up

今天一起來就展開打掃工作,家裡混作一團
好久沒有清理(又因為懶惰的關係吧)

清理家居最好的辦法就是把無用的東西都扔掉
然後你會發現n年前怎麼也找不著的東西原來被淹沒某個角落
又或者會找著一些你已遺忘了n世的東西
把無用的丟呀丟,連冰箱裡的都丟呀丟

一下子屋企減磅了,看起來清新怡人許多~
















如果同before比較,一定嚇你一跳

搞定,topo可以放心進駐

今晨一早400T就開始了他忙碌的一天
真係辛苦晒

是時候執行李啦~

jtb

今天要買jr pass,到jtb office去
















we got lost...

一家規模龐大的日資公司駐米office的supervisor 是個老外
知道我們pay cash後竟然當面拿出fraud banknote detector(其實是marker一支),但收錢的時候卻不知所蹤,由其accountant點收...
















plus這單交易是在公司的pantry進行的,weird

走的時候,supervisor跟我們揸手,還要步送我們出門口

到asahi買了京都的tour guide
Temples look so beautiful,好想穿浴衣遍遊這古城 ~

summer reading

放假最開心
有時覺得自己在浪費時間,老媽都說 “你還再要諗多久?”
與其滯留在此,好應把握機會見識見識
學校就是塊踏腳石哩
況且,寒暑兩大長假是限量版製品
咁搶手,唔要就苯
















bus stop旁的花樹,今年大幸沒有hay fever

常常都想要多看點書,但常常都是想
做就有心無力
有時又想,為什麼小時侯爹娘沒有帶我上圖書館?
(我想因為是他們從來都沒有到過圖書館…)
小學時唯一閱讀的機會是上圖書課,
每週同學仔可以到圖書櫃借圖書一大本 (注意:是圖書櫃,不是圖書館)
圖書數量有限,有趣的往往給人捷足先登

試過連續六次借閱<金依少年小說集>
(也真的看了六回,但金依是誰,至今還不太清楚)
也有一次,忘了如期歸還圖書,老師課上大聲宣佈,余同學遲還<男生廁所>
然後全班哄堂大笑 (那只不過是個鬼故事)

到了中學,女生都看瓊瑤亦舒岑凱倫,也湊熱鬧看了四五十本岑凱倫
寫的都是 “經典”故事橋段,貧窮美麗鄰家女邂逅風度翩翩富公子
太完美,所以有點膩

之後,看了年輕作家梁望峰,十七歲出版了第一本小說,
他的鬼故事帶點淒美,而小說系列起初有點胡鬧
但也寫出道地學生青年的心態
最後看的是<心跳回憶>,寫的是父子關係,相處不來的父子從誤會到冰釋
可是父親再不久在人間了
偶然之下看了衛斯理,於是就一發不可收拾,沈醉在天馬行空離奇古怪的聯想中

人再長大一點,都記不起再看過什麼書了 (因為根本沒有看過什麼書)
一次拿起余秋雨的《文化苦旅》,感到異常沉重,也許就是這個原因修不了歷史課
看著同胞們互相踐踏爭鬥,文化被殘酷摧殘,你忍心看下去嗎?

現在 “暑”期開始了,林林總總的summer reading充斥書店
下點決心,趁這個空檔來附庸風雅一下吧~

點算一下
04年summer看了adrian mole的dairy collections, wuthering heights, 然後剛到芝城百無瞭賴,看了animal farm, angela’s ashes, rich dad poor dad, the hobbit (comic version), 另一半翅膀…好多都是咸豐年前該看的書

05年summer返港想找工長駐, 趁lunchtime看了the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime, tuesdays with morrie, five people you meet in heaven, the present看了一半又放棄了



今年summer,應多看一點點~
