天陰.有風.26C
朋友A與朋友B近來有些齟齬,A說要跟B保持距離.其實我不知道要怎樣回應.這種說大不大,說小不小的事情,很容易變成冰凍三尺、糾纏不清的誤會.大家都已經不是小學生,那種"我不跟你玩了"的遊戲應該早已消失在我們這年紀了.可是,對當事人來說,這種事情都好像是天要掉下來的一等一大事,旁人又怎麼勸得了呢.因為本身對B的認識有限,所以只能勸A去好好跟B談談吧.心想,若果真正視對方為好友,一定會在乎對方對自己的看法.那麼,就會用盡辦法去把結解開.畢竟,彼此的友誼還是值得珍惜的罷.
這讓我想起在綿羊國時唸中學的一件事.那時候我有兩個很要好的朋友,雙生兒P和喬爾絲.一個來自寶島,一個跟我一樣從東方之珠來.本來這個組合就是有點奇怪,但人在異鄉,其實誰跟誰能碰在一起,當真是「不要問我從哪裡來」.知到背景重要嗎?是重要的,但不是那麼的重要.
話說,中六那年P跟喬突然不知為何鬧翻.雞婆的我兩邊去做說客,嘗試替對方說些好話,製造個機會讓她們好好聊,以此化解一切恩怨情仇.但事情一直拖著,她倆關係時好時壞.時間一長,在我們這三人的核心小組邊緣的朋友們開始也來幫口,希望她倆可以回到以前的友好關係.我不知道說客們跟P和喬說了甚麼,我也在眾多說客們工作的時候退下火線,免得救火不成反變成煽風點火.但,從某一天開始,P和喬正式從此不相往來,就算同班也可以互相視而不見.我嘗試多次搶救,但不是不知從何下手,就是有一方拒絕被救.我也只好就此罷了.她們的事情,我又能做甚麼呢?而且,我不想讓她們以為我想要邀功或甚麼的,所以我更不敢再說些甚麼了.我一直很懷疑自己是不是罪魁,有沒有說了些不該說的話,或做了不該做的事,導致她倆絕交.然後為了讓自己好過點,就開始想像是不是有說客趁機的挑撥離間.那麼,導火線就不是我啦.
若干年後我問P她們那時候為甚麼會搞得那麼僵,P卻一臉疑惑的說不知道.去問喬,得到的答案也差不了多遠.而她倆也像受驚的小動物,對這事不聞不問不想不碰,也不去查找源頭.反正,這事就變成了連金田一也無法解開的疑團.後來,P跟喬也有見過面;說說客套話,問問近況,偶爾傳來一兩下尷尬的笑聲.就好像新相識的朋友一樣,陌生得不能再陌生.正是J所說的「覆水難收」.發生過的事怎能就一筆抹掉呢.人的腦袋還沒發展到有選擇性記憶清洗功能的地步呢.說到底,發生過的就會留下烙印.印可能會淡化,但永不可能消失.
而這事留給我的烙印,就是「永不永不勸交症候群」,還有一堆的遺憾.

OMG. The Trailer is OUT!
CRAZY.Rain.25C
The trailer is out finally. Go to http://www.devilwearspradamovie.com/. It's much better than the one on Yahoo. :)

可愛的同事們
倒水一般.天黑黑.23C
如果你和你的同事一同收到一個request,而他/她以超快的速度回覆了.之後,你因好奇而去比較你的答案有否跟她的一樣時發現了差別,你會怎樣?
可能他的做法也是對的,只是大家的出發點不一樣.我通常會嘗試了解一下他的理據.但因為這位同事(在我眼中)自視甚高(因試過提出其他建議後,他花了最少五分鐘來解釋他的做法),因此此等無關痛癢的小問題就此算了.否則,如斯「打破沙盤問到篤」的我,怎會如此輕易放過.
我想很多人對這種情況都不會有甚麼回應.又或者根本一開始時連查都不會查.尤其若那request是小事一樁的話,根本就划不來去糾正那位同事了.又特別如果那位同事的年資比你要高的話,就更加不用花氣力去衡量這麼多了. Case Closed.
那,我又在發甚麼囉囌呢?
我只是想,我變了.可能是因為對這份工作沒有太大的熱誠.可能是因為其他的同僚都不是那麼事事上心.可能是我察覺到自己以往的過分吹毛求疵而潛意識地改變了.又可能是我怕被發現我的工作態度跟他們的不一樣而被排斥或當成怪物.又或者我只是厭倦要再花我人生中寶貴的五分鐘來聽一堆跟我不相干而又狗屁不通的廢話.我就只怕我已被潛移默化了.成為他們的一份子,做一個「三等員工」(等放lunch,等收工,等出糧;是為三等.當然還有很多其他等), 對自己的工作不求甚解,抱著做完就算的心態.我好怕呀.我轉來還沒够一年就有這種想法,你叫我以後的日子要怎樣過??
看來,是時候重整一下,向下一步出發.

What a Beautiful Day!
Drizzly.24C
Oh. I wasn't talking about today. [Today's miserable.] The pictures were taken yesterday, after typhoon was gone. When I stepped out of my apartment building, on the way to work (left pic), I gasped at the magnificent colour that was displayed hight up. The typhoon that has just left HK was quite strange. First of all, her route was strange. She was initially heading northwesterly, but then suddenly decided to switch to straight north, which meant heading towards to HK. Then all of a sudden, when we were preparing to have the first typhoon 8 for the year, she has decided, once again, to change her direction and hit Shanwei instead. But thankful to typhoon Pearl, we have benefitted a couple of days with fresh air and clean sky. It's very rare to have such an opportunity in HK to see this azure in the sky. :P
And then on the bus, just before I got off the bus, I managed to get a picture of the monumental IFC 2 (right pic). Seriously, the way that it's standing doesn't look very good. J said that the picture looks as if it were taken in Thailand. Well, who knows? But I didn't mean that. In one way, it marks a new landmark for the city, but it has totally destroyed the skyline of the waterfront, and blocked out the beautiful green backdrop in the far back. When you expect a smooth graduation of elevating architecture from the waterfront to the Victoria Peak, all of a sudden (if you are looking at HK Island from Tsim Sha Tsui), you have this phallic skyscraper monster on the right. So long as people think that it'll do good for the city (finacially, image-wise, or whatever), it wouldn't be seen as an eyesore.
lala~!

The Trailer
Typhoon 1.Very Windy.23C
The trailer for The Devil Wears Prada is "out". Honestly, it can't be classified as a trailer. It's more like a first view/interview clip. But it at least fulfilled my desire to see bits of the movie.
Well, it's actually not as glamorous as I have expected. Andy is not BLONDE?! But you just can't help noticing how well fit/cut her clothes are... so that's really why I want to see the movie. My imagination has been exhausted to think of what clothes she would be wearing to work today or the next day.
lala... anyway, I should be able to catch it when I return from my summer vacation... hehe...

忽發奇想
颱風3號.微雨.狂風亂吹的一天.24C
聽說,如果你跟一個人相處一段日子,你會跟那個人長得越來越像.
其實一天裏,我對著同事們的時間比對著我媽還要長.
哇!好危呀!
老細,下次請人時,可不可以請個靚o的o既?

到頭來還是一場空
Typhoon 1.Cloudy.Drizzling.25C
Urgh. He's gone.
I didn't get his "this is my last day" email.
Urgh.
No wonder I suddenly felt very bored and down yesterday, for no reason.
But I have his phone numbers, so if I really want to be a stalker I can track him down.. hahaha...
What a great motivation to come to work from now on... :P
******
Here's my favourite song recently, even though Andy Hui isn't at his peak performance (esp. his voice):
大愛 許志安
作曲：方大同｜填詞：林夕｜編曲：蔡德才｜監製：蔡德才
無數男友陪你的日日夜夜 仍然愛你到花謝
臨去前你能說的就是道謝 如何報答我多些
怎麼你逝去 我們先最像情侶 我餘生也只好 幻想著受罪
我的眼淚可以 流出洪水 是真是虛 人逝去怎追
其實 甚麼放低 甚麼不放低 讓色當空 全因心有鬼
如來佛祖都心虧 佛理可否化得開我一切
無數連次 疼我的日日夜夜 原來你也會不捨
純綷朋友情 博得特別多謝 原來我也配守夜
枯乾也是你 惡疾使你未完美 我平生可首次 護親著別離
我的素願得到 又喜又悲 又生又死 緣盡卻記起
到底 甚麼放低 甚麼不放低 未可徹底 忘掉了一切
如來佛祖都心虧 沒法將擁有的包袱放低
時間在理順我的汗毛 而有日我亦會剃鬚
忘記是人生 天賜最大 方法活到更好
那個做到 無喜惡恨愛 便能得道
受過苦 口裏只會講及怎麼做到
人那裏會看破劫數
到底 甚麼放低 甚麼不放低
在生記得 難道會失禮
如來佛祖都心虧 唸過心經會否將愛縮細
但我追憶會否超過今世

重遊淺水灣
大致天晴.天氣炎熱.28C
今天天氣十分炎熱,所以跟我媽去了淺水灣.[上次我媽聽了有個auntie和uncle去了之後,流露出十分艷羨的表情.我只是輕輕地諷刺了一下,就被罵了個狗血淋頭.這次算是個補償吧.]沙灘是乾淨了許多,但已經有點不認得了!若不是那棟穿了個洞的影灣園站在後面,我根本就不知道要下車...不過,這可能只是顯示了我有多熟悉我的香港而已!
沙,也好像比以前幼細了,雖然還是跟去年到過的南葡的海灘不能相比...但無論如何,還是很感謝上蒼賜給了香港這一片好山好水,讓我能在鬧市的不遠處就能享受到陽光與海灘!
p.s. 今天還戴了contact lens 哩...雖然心裏感覺有點怕怕的,但醫生說滿意嘛...

More Operation
Breezy.Rainy(finally).23CI didn't have time to write about my retinal holes fixes operation the other day, but the *great* news is it's so much fun that my doctor said I'm going to get more tomorrow. So after work, I'll be going to the hospital to get more laser through my eyeball to patch the holes in my right eye. So to prevent the little puddle from overflooding and tearing the whole thing down. Here's a little sketch from my lovely doctor.
Alas! What a great start to my long weekend.
[well, the hospital will close early on the public holiday eve, so my operation was moved to 1.30pm. But instead of being on time, my doctor has a habit of being late. So I have waited for him for another 2 hours, for a half an hour operation. Accumulated waiting time to see dear Dr. Kwok is now come to a handsome total of 6 hours. Well, considering I've only seen him 4 times. Let's hope that the situation will improve on Saturday. (yes, I have a follow up appointment on Saturday.)]
