幾米與宫崎峻

早一陣子經過三里屯, 其實一早發現最近多了很多有趣的 Art display, 但沒想原來是幾米在這裏做展覽. 看完後覺得幾米實在可算是不簡單的藝術家, 不知為何在展覽廳裏腦中一直拿他跟宮崎駿做比較. 作品都很有點小王子式的寓意味道, 加上童趣的畫風.

印像最深刻的是一個白色的空間, 一對小男女孩掛著滿身的和滿地鑰匙, 站在門口兩旁. 想了很久...

不知不覺思想中有了把幾米與日本的宮崎峻對比, 大家覺得相像否?

Man in the mirror

今天認真的聽了一次 MJ 的 Man in the mirror, 特然感到生命不過如此. 還有很多比我更不幸的人, 衣食不足, 戰爭, 動亂, 種族岐視, 生病.

其實伸出雙手, 就可以幫到很多的人.

Want to make a change, for once in my life.

今天的北京很溫柔

整天下著濛濛的細雨 相比起前兩個月的天氣 總是愛恨分明的剛陽 大雨 強風
今天的北京散發著淡淡的溫柔 有點像春天的倫敦 但小了那份冷漠 多了一點生怯

如果倫敦是一個穿著帶臉紗 Channel 小黑帽 帶點寂寞的貴婦
那今天的北京就是穿著Kenzo 碎花裙 臉帶羞怯的小姑娘

今天的北京很舒服
但明天多數會變回太陽曝晒的現實北京吧..

Coming soon..

2012 Apocalypse

The Bible recorded by the year 2012, an Apocalypse will come to the world. The Jewish believed the rise of a Messiah in the year 2012, and the Mayan calendar was said to end in the same year. And so many people believed the world will end in that moment.

Reading Dan Brown's book - The Lost Symbol, has discussed about the historical facts above. The word Apocalypse was literally a Greek translation of "To Reveal", not the end of the world. To reveal some kind of knowledge that was hidden from man kind for centuries, and the knowledge, whether position or negative, would change the course of human history.

I personally believed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by the CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research) holds the key to this mystery. The LHC is a device that designed to test the forming moment of the universe by colliding atom particles millions of time in the speed of light, it will unveil the knowledge about the birth of this universe, the black hold, Einstein's physic theory...etc. The time frame is coincidently matching the year of 2012.

Does it means something? Will that be the Apocalypse that the Bible and Mayan calendar is pointing to?

I do hope that it could be the Apocalypse will reveal the knowledge that help human evolve into a new level . That we no longer will need to harm the environment and to end the endless fight to diseases.

減少碳排放, 由個人做起 - Save the earth

其實一直也有留意這方面的新聞和報道.
有感於對人類現有的生活方式覺得很浪費, 想請大家試著實行一些細微的生活調整, 將會有效感少對大自然的傷害.

Tips:
多吃菜, 小吃肉

外出用餐時, 應點最少兩個菜類的食品, 最後才點肉類.

前幾天看到 Discovery 的節目, 裏面提到, 生物每生長一磅的肉需要消耗30磅的植物. 所以多吃菜可以咸低大量畜牧業的需求, 還對身體健康, 進而咸低生畜所需之碳排放.

C.C. †Cross

Few days ago I met Suzuki for dinner, the head of design department in C.C. †Cross, a rather new fashion brand in Japan. Went to their showroom where they are featuring another new brand - Decious, where it will debut next month in Japan Kobe Collection, one of the largest fashion exhibition in Japan.

Designs are not so special, the normal Daikanyama and Shibuya style with mid-range price. However as I know Suzuki there will be a price advantage for me, which could be potential sourcing for Chichi2.com

Recently just been seeing lots of people and trying to secure good sourcing channels. A step closer to Chichi fashion empire!

Le Petit Prince

it was then that the fox appeared.
"good morning" said the fox.

"good morning"
the little prince responded politely
altho when he turned around he saw nothing.

"I am right here" the voice said, "under the apple
tree."

"who are you?" asked the little prince, and added,

"You are very pretty to look at."

"I am a fox", the fox said.

"Come and play with me,"
proposed the little prince, "I am so unhappy."

"I cannot play with you," the fox said,
"I am not tamed."

"AH please excuse me,"said the little prince.
But after some thought, he added:
"what does that mean---'tame'?"

"you do not live here," said the fox,
"what is it you are looking for?"

"I am looking for men," said the little prince.
"What does that mean---tame?"

"Men,"said the fox,
"they have guns, and they hunt.
It is very disturbing.
They also raise chickens.
These are their only interests.
Are you looking for chickens?"

"No," said the little prince.
"I am looking for friends.
What does that mean---tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected,"
said the fox.
"It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox.
"to me, you are still nothing more than
a little boy who is just like
a hundred thousand other little boys.
And I have no need of you.
And you, on your part, have no need of me.
To you I am nothing more
than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I shall be unique in all the world. . ."

"I am beginning to understand,"
said the little prince.

"There is a flower. . .I think she has tamed me. . ."

"It is possible," said the fox.

"On earth one sees all sorts of things."

"Oh but this is not on the earth!"
said the little prince.

The fox seemed perplexed, and very curious.
"On another planet?"

"Yes"

"Are there hunters on that planet?"

"No"

"Ah that's interesting! Are there chickens?"

"No"

"Nothing is perfect," sighed the fox.
But he came back to his idea.
"My life is very monotonous," he said.
"I hunt chickens; men hunt me.
All chickens are just alike,
and all the men are just alike.
And in consequence, I am a little bored.
But if you tame me,
it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life.
I shall know the sound of a step that will be
different from all the others.
Other steps send me hurrying back
underneath the ground.
Yours will call me, like music out of my burrow.
And then look:
you see the grain-fields down yonder?
I do not eat bread.
Wheat is of no use to me.
The wheat fields have nothing to say to me.
And that is sad.
But you have hair that is the color of gold.
Think how wonderful that will be
when you have tamed me!
The grain, which is also golden,
will bring me back the thought of you.
And I shall love to listen
to the wind in the wheat. . ."

The fox gazed at the little prince,
for a long time.
"Please---tame me!" he said.

"I want to, very much," the little prince replied.
"But I have not much time.
I have friends to discover,
and a great many things to understand."

"One only understands the things that one tames,"
said the fox.
" Men have no more time to understand anything.
They buy things all ready made at the shops.
But there is no shop anywhere
where one can buy friendship,
and so men have no friends any more.
If you want a friend, tame me. . ."

"What must I do, to tame you?
asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.
First you will sit down
at a little distance from me
-like that-in the grass.
I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye,
and you will say nothing.
Words are the source of misunderstandings.
But you will sit a little closer to me,
every day..."

The next day the little prince came back.

"It would have been better to come back
at the same hour," said the fox.
"If for example, you came at four o'clock
in the afternoon,
then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy.
I shall feel happier and happier
as the hour advances.
At four o'clock,
I shall be worrying and jumping about.
I shall show you how happy I am!
But if you come at just any time,
I shall never know at what hour
my heart is ready to greet you. . .
One must observe the proper rites. . ."

"What is a rite?" asked the little prince.

"Those also are actions too often neglected,"
said the fox.
"they are what make one day
different from other days,
one hour different from other hours.
There is a rite, for example, among my hunters.
Every Thursday they danse with the village girls.
So Thursday is a wonderful day for me!
I can take a walk as far as the vineyards.
But if the hunters danced at just any time,
every day would be like
every other day,
and I should never have any vacation at all."


So the little prince tamed the fox.
And when the hour of his departure drew near---

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

"It is your own fault," said the little prince.
"I never wished you any sort of harm;
but you wanted me to tame you. . ."

"Yes that is so", said the fox.

"But now you are going to cry!"
said the little prince.

"Yes that is so" said the fox.

"Then it has done you no good at all!"

"It has done me good," said the fox,
"because of the color of the wheat fields."
And then he added:
"go and look again at the roses.
You will understand now
that yours is unique in all the world.
Then come back to say goodbye to me,
and I will make you a present of a secret."

The little prince went away,
to look again at the roses.
"You are not at all like my rose," he said.
"As yet you are nothing.
No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one.
You are like my fox when I first knew him.
He was only a fox
like a hundred thousand other foxes.
But I have made a friend,
and now he is unique in all the world."
And the roses were very much embarrassed.
"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on.
"One could not die for you.
To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think
that my rose looked just like you
--the rose that belongs to me.
But in herself alone she is more important
than all the hundreds of you
other roses: because it is she that I have watered;
because it is she
that I have put under the glass globe;
because it is for her
that I have killed the caterpillars
(except the two or three we saved
to become butterflies);
because it is she that I have listened to,
when she grumbled,
or boasted,
or even sometimes when she said nothing.
Because she is MY rose."


And he went back to meet the fox.
"Goodbye" he said.

"Goodbye," said the fox.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye,"
the little prince repeated,
so that he would be sure to remember.

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose
that makes your rose so important.

"It is the time I have wasted for my rose--
"said the little prince
so he would be sure to remember.

"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox.
"But you must not forget it.
You become responsible, forever,
for what you have tamed.
You are responsible for your rose. . ."

"I am responsible for my rose,"
the little prince repeated,
so that he would be sure to remember.

凌晨

4點05分
醒來睡不著 是昨晚那杯 Whisky Soda 吧
喝了酒後總是會很早醒來

還是那將要到來的今天所帶來的複雜的情緒
搞不清楚
想要趕快進入生命中下一個階段

其實一直覺得自己寫的東西很不利落 總是想發洩一下清緒但又不想讓人知道內心的一點什麼
時常有衝動把這個blog關閉
是時侯要調整一下寫作的風格

The long forgotten wish

What is it to feel like when one day your long forgotten wish becomes true, un-knowingly, un-expectedly, and half consciously. Remembering how desperate one's craving for fulling that wish, the sadness when one realised it will never be fullfilled, and how relieved that it was finally tucked in the safe box burried in memories.

And now 11 years later, when one has almost forgotten how deep this box is burried, safely thinking that it is no longer needed. Then one day you realised it has came true...

Tho not in the ideal way, tho the subject has changed with time, tho it is now no longer needed, tho one is now confused, tho it has make one's life more complicated, tho one knows it will vanish like a shooting star. It has came true.

Best thing one can do is to treasure of what is coming, the taste of the bittersweetness and try to capture in memory the shooting star moment...

Until the very last day.

what is a blog

how deep and personal can you reveal yourself in a blog?
is it just an official face you try to portrait yourself?
or you risk revealing the naked, vulnerable true self to any strangers pass by.

is it a reflection of one's strength or weakness
or one's darkness

a constant struggle of balance

a New Beginning

A new phrase of life awaits
