我很開心。
在網上找了好一會兒,最後找到了一間學日語的中心提供密集式課程,完全配合我所想。原來M 以前也在同一中心學日語的,我看過照片也覺得環境不錯,價錢也相宜,而且這中心更是東京青山的姊妹校,我不期然湧起了一股親切感!
一個星期三晚的課或許有點過份,但地點方便的話我認為可以。明天早上便去那中心看看!
我會努力的!


2006.08.07 Day 5 in
tokyo
he radio bell woke me up. i had a deep sleep after last night long bath. the hello
tokyo radio program reminds me that i am still in this city. M went for work and i lingered in my bed for a while before i received the call from R.
it took me half an hour before i figured out how to take the train properly. ticketing machines, correct line of trains and map reading techniques. R was waiting. i accompanied her for shopping the digital camera and portable computer. she doesn't quite understand what i suggested. but i am glad to see how thing like this works in japan.
meeting R's friends in anniversaire cafe in shibuya. i took a sausages set there. the sauce is unique, the moustarde is equally cut into small dots served oilessly sausages. i wasn't able to finish the garlic bread with the shortage of ice apple tea. (2400yen) the girls stayed for chat. i walked through the omotesando again and turned myself in a second hand CD & bookshop. it is weird, or rather uncomfortable to be surrounded by the language i don't know at all. i couldn't find a thing there. i hate this feeling. so i kept walking. along the JR railway line. i passed the busiest street of harajuku, the calm place of yoyogi, i was exhausted by the heat, or it's the loneliness that droved me down.
i took the JR, second time in my life, this time much more efficient, towards shinjuku. i bought a pack of sushi and some drinks before getting up the apartment. (600yeh) that would be my dinner.
the evening i spent it by letting the heat drilled out from my body, and filled myself with the solitude.
i felt so alone.
the heat led my mind to madness perhaps.
and then i lost my consciousness.
i spent the night in front of the screen with my fingers on the keyboard. K was online. both our hearts were closed, blocked.
how can we get out of it?
i miss hong kong. i feel like doing nothing here.
K said, if you were doing nothing,
tokyo, it is just another city.
so actually what i miss is not hong kong. i am just all alone.
the lovers of the past are gone. but they stayed somewhere in me. each of them occupied part of my heart. and all these parts are well hided and locked. therefore, my heart is indeed getting smaller and smaller. the area of feeling minimizes through the days. if there is the one who appears, i will discover that there is no more space for her, or the love produced from the limited organ is not enough for keeping the affection. one not let go the past would never get a right future. the lockers should be cleaned up for things that haven't happened yet.
but i am afraid i have lost all the keys.
wish you were here.

2006.08.06 Day 4 in
Tokyo
we slept until
noon. M brought me to a local noodles resto. he showed me how to order with the machine and add the toppings. it was a great bowl of brunch. people standing at the doors waiting for their place. clients sitting along the long desk seemed all satisfied - their sucked the noodles with the sound. (1000 yen) we finished until the last drop of soup.
there are too many shopping malls and shops in shinjuku. i could get bankrupt here. finally i spent some for a few from million of favourites. i comforted myself by murmuring that i would be back later, though i knew i wouldn’t allow so.
the mobile searching process was long and uneasy. we ran from shops to shops. at last we got it in a convenient store where we met some tourists from hong kong. the mobile phone and the prepaid card were in my hand. it would allow me to have a number here and a very limited time of communication. (7000 yen) then we went up to the north tower 45th floor. the lights of
tokyo city were under and surround us. there was very tourist.
we spent almost an hour in the public bath. the black soup released my feeling of tired. the small room of sauna heated me up. i like this place. people have nothing to hide, and they enjoy being here.
my heart started boiling. it's abnormal. please forgive me.
went to sleep at 3. light's off.

今天沒有好好利用時間,沒有怎麼看書。倒是打了幾個電話、覆了電郵。原來安兒來香港已經一個星期了,電話聯絡上她,她一個法國同學仔也一起來了,約了下星期飲茶,可以大談法語了呢!至於 Mark 哥的漂亮女兒,我猜她來香港的時候我未必碰上,有點可惜呢!
Pat「即興」的去了西藏旅行十一天,上星期才回來,進了布達拉宮,上了珠峰,好羨慕呢!
下午回去工作一下至傍晚,整個操場已變成地盤了,幾棵樹被砍,泥被翻了出來,棚架愈搭愈高。E 很週到地把數日來地盤的情況拍下電郵給各同事(但有多少同事放假會開電郵看啦﹖),我也拍了些照片,可就沒有想過要發給大家看,他這樣做的確很可愛。
A 整理所有的節目片段,計算後用六張 DVD 便可以備份製作了的一百四十多段片,一整年來的工作和心血用六張圓形會反光的鐳射碟就紀錄下來了。為了這薄薄的六張碟,這年來承受過的壓力可不少呢!

2006.07.18
約愔愔吃了個很長的泰國午餐 (Chilli N Spice),湯的味道不夠,沙律還可以。才看完她早陣子去德國的照片,又聽到下星期她便去留德一年了,為德文,為音樂。這下子可能三兩年內也會留在那邊。談談我的事,聊聊她的近況和去向,有好長的時間我沒有說這麼多話了。之後她帶我去新華書店,連地下樓高四層,書種不比內地的書城少吧!這趟去上海可不用買書回來了,要買簡體書來這便可以。

在那常去的地庫餐廳見了M,看過她去荷蘭的照片,她終於見到 miffy 的作者。她對這一件創作品的瘋狂程度令我敬佩,似乎她的每一條神經線都含有對 miffy 的熱情,連帶對兔仔形的東西也非常敏感;又或者她的紅白血球已經變成 dick bruna 的創作品的形狀,每一下心跳都把 miffy 擊向她的心臟。這股著魔了的熱情,是一種很強大的動力,令她可以走到那麼遠,令她可以看得那麼精細,更令她發揮出無限創意,把這簡單幾筆的卡通圖案完全融入生活中。
電視播了國際女排賽,中國對意大利,五局三勝制,中國落後一比二,第四盤輸了便要出局。duece 到三十多分,兩隊還是一次一分,中國無法突破兩球挽回平手,意大利也未能反超前取得決勝分。到了最後一球,中國隊後排球員力追眼看要出界了的一球,失了這一球也就是輸了這場波,她是撲出去的,救到了,安全過網。然後才有空擔心隊友能否應付對方的反擊,剛站定,意大利隊網前兩個隊員同時跳高,做出一個假動作,正要為中國隊抽一口涼氣,另一隊員右臂向下扣空,打失了,球在意大利那邊場著地。中國險勝這一局。到決勝局,中國隊再發力,取下十五分,擊敗意國。這兩局比賽,叫人看得萬分緊張。

那間製作室,最後也沒有上去。
是和兒談過電話後的決定,那時候我已在路上了。這最後得來的經驗分享令我起疑,最後不想把自己處於一個有迷惑的局面,便決定不上去了。如果真的不是騙人的,便當是對方錯失了我吧。心定了。
我的想法,已不想太過宣之於口,明白到,行動的力量比起說話要大很多倍。

2006.07.14
法國國慶,巴士底日。
要放假了。
今年在香港的法國國慶派對去不了,聽說新的領事邀請了法國藝人表演,又要放煙花,說要縮支原來是把支出都花到派頭上去了。可是天氣不太好,還下雨了,不知道煙花是否放得成,風頭是否出得了。
這個學年的最後一天上學。
有那麼一刻,我反而不想放假了,將會有那麼一個多月,暫時離開這個地方,會有那種不習慣的失落感,縱然仍有幾天要回來執拾一下,這一去已是一個月的事,夏天之後再回來,江山依舊,四周座位卻已人面全非了。
或者是機會拋下工作狂的稱號,有限期地盡情投入到另一種生活。
謝謝Pcheesecake,期待下次妳親自造的。

我是睡不起來了,中午才回到辦公室,才知道老闆想我做是超乎我想像,要花點時間呢!對於這種「理所當然」的對待,令我重新審問自己,我是真的成為工作狂了嗎﹖我卻沒有去想是否值得的問題,反正心裡沒有很大的反感,但正正是自己的這種反應讓我覺得有點不安,到我再發現自己嘴邊總是談著工作上的話題時,我好肯定我已經不會把工作和私人時間分開了。
這是有違背我自己一直以來的想法的。問題是,我現在卻認為這樣沒有不妥。
差不多整個假期也在工作的地方渡過,這是有違放假的意義,儘管是自願性質,儘管把假期的大白天花在工作桌上的同事,也大有人在。
我是那種沒有特別的事,回去工作的地方也沒有關係的類型,變得好像是,每天總要回去一下的習慣,儘管工作是做不完,也老實說,不會有做完所有工作的一天。這樣看來,放假不回辦公室,是更加理所當然的。
而且,我又何必在自我討論一個每個人也認同的事實﹖
可惜兩個星期的假期只剩下兩天。
看了一場話劇,英文那個有待改善,廣東話的令我回想起中學時代的生活,還算可以。P 和一個朋友J來看,很甜美的樣子。我卻先行離去和F 他們看千里走單騎,感人的片子。片中的麗江景色讓我想起這個假期本來的計劃,現在倒變得沒意思了。可是,有一天,還是想去雲南一趟的,心裡還有一點奢望。
在漢陽丸晚餐,吃近尾聲,我們幾人大笑之際,待應把賬單送上,我們正懊惱是誰叫了埋單,她木無表情的說了一句﹕「你地夠鐘啦!」這一句又讓我們笑了一晚。飯後和F 跟P二人到一間咖啡室坐下,談到午夜過後才離開,我的頭開始痛了。

看了電影「雛菊」,觀感在另外一頁寫,但我很沉醉在阿姆斯特丹的廣場,因為男女主角們的生離死別,都在那兒發生。而有一些事情,男女主角或是不知道,或是知道得太遲,結果註定是傷心。
我禁不住想起了她,在大銀幕上看見的都是她。不知怎的,覺得她和女主角長得是那麼像呢﹖
又或者,外表不像,骨子裡像。
晚上我病倒了,躲在爸媽的房間睡了幾個小時,十一點的時候起來吃了點東西,電視播放著羅家英在青藏高原上的感慨,這時我接到老闆的電話,問我第二天會不會回去一下,說有一點事情要我幫忙。
我吃過藥了感覺好了一點,身體還是虛,卻睡膩了,把月結單、賬單都找出來,為自己做一個小小的「債務重整」,想不到因此找到了一個方法可以好好管理自己的收支,並立時實行了。滿足、安樂,就去睡了。

29.03.2006
陽光很好,心情很好,下午的咖啡卻讓我有點頭昏腦漲,半夜三時也睡不著。連續看了三集「二十四」,劇情愈發緊張。

26.03.2006
當分開的日子已經超過了一起的時間,感情的悼念期是否也應該停止﹖
這樣的日子怎麼變得愈來愈短了﹖

11.03.2006
正好一個星期了。
回到同一間餐廳吃晚餐,感覺卻是如此不同。
之後 J 跳舞去了,我回家,電視播著 虎藏龍,當中那個女主角不禁令我想起她,那神情,那姿態,是她本來就和女主角有些相似,還是一直以來她就在模仿那個女演員的動靜呢﹖
也無謂去深究了。
我是想起她,但,我好了吧。
曾經一度懷疑自己只是把情緒抑壓,有點驚訝於自己的理性和冷靜,會否就是抑壓下的結果。慢慢地,我不得不承認,我是放下了。或者因為一想到那像是遊戲一般的態度,我便變得無力,覺得沒有意思,不想再去想。
總言之,我好了。
未來一個星期,會下雨呢!

04.03.2006
謝謝妳的生日禮物。
這痛,刻骨銘心。

我們的愛,什麼時候才會穩定下來

19.02.2006

我們都是這樣走過來的。
回頭細看,才發現原來我們在有限的時間內,走了這麼多的路,慢慢的,愈走愈接近。
前面的路還遠,要如何走,現在誰也不知道,就只需一起走下去,慢慢的走,淡淡地走。

15.02.2006

別認真嗎
是認真嗎
要認真嗎

別想太多嗎
是想太多嗎
要想太多嗎

別一起嗎
是一起嗎
要一起嗎

別相信嗎
要相信嗎
是相信嗎

別愛嗎
要愛嗎
是愛嗎

只是一杯越洋啤酒,掀起了一夜瘋狂。
那是序幕。

17.01.2006
這百分百充實的星期一及星期二。
一直沒有時間停下來,然而,我跟別人說話的時間竟然多了。
而且,今天我讓自己在七點前離開辦公室,直接回家。
當然,工作還是一大堆在等著的。我大約地安排好晚上和明天要做好的事,就離開了。心情是平靜的。有點像是暴風雨前夕的風平浪靜。
是一個緩衝期吧。
事實上未來幾天將要發生的事是會令人喘不過氣來的。
我卻不得不令它們發生並完成啊。
今天,我在給同事的備忘錄上最後一段,加了自己最近的一點心情狀況,看來是不那麼專業,但已讓自己放下了不少抑壓了壓力。
是需要留點空間讓自己放鬆呢,才可以發現更多可能性。


15.01.2006

這是一個情感傾瀉的週末。
我終於渡過了一個自己的星期六﹕不回工作的地方、不工作 ( 雖然也是接了好幾個有關工作的電話 ) ,回去以前的中學、跟朋友吃午飯、看了一場話劇、和導演談過話、逛書店、討論劇本直到深夜。好像回到以前學生時代的日子,那時候會覺得是在荒廢學業,而在已經工作的時間線上仍然可以有一整天如此,感覺卻無比充實。
說到底,這是不用工作的一天,理應如此。只是太多的星期六我不讓自己喘一口氣。
一整天放鬆了下來,夜深時份,我卻忍不住想起了某人。那個電話勾起了我的失落感,久違了的聲音,我似乎只是拿著接通了的電話便已滿足,毫不理會另一邊已經毫無感覺,這自私的行為持續了不久,我想說的,直到掛電話的時候,還是沒說出口。
我仍然是獨個兒的。
沒說出口,妳也意會到吧。
可是,過去的包袱必須放低。
那是妳想說,卻也沒說出口的吧。
星期天是獨個兒的。晚上出去和大學的朋友吃一餐,就只是吃一餐。要結婚了,要升職了,要搬家了,生活啊,都在這飯桌上流傳和發生。
回家後,網上聊天聊到很晚,卻不累,不想睡,似乎預支了這星期的精神,工作,卻仍然沒完沒了。
