Vintage

Two outift pictures I saved. Both guys are wearing vintage, note the colours and shapes. Via Kokokoreano and Fashion Bits and Bobs.

Denim

Over the months, from The Sartorialist, Rei Shito, Drop Tokyo and The Fashionisto.
I also post some of my favourite things here.

香港地: 1

Some souvenirs from Hong Kong. Managed to bring back 6 (+1 for colleague) magazines despite zero bookstores-hopping. Toy in second picture is a points-system lucky gift from 7-11, “真丟架” means so embarrassing in cantonese!
The mist stayed throughout our visit there, thus the pitiful number of pictures taken (not uploading them). But I do remember seeing the canto version of Anna Magdalena and drinking beer with chips one particular night :)

+ Current playlist:
1.《艋舺》電影原聲帶 (2010)
2. "Fleet Foxes", Fleet Foxes (2009)
3.《我小時候是嬉皮》, Finn (2009)

奔跑，為了跌倒

剛從香港度假回來；好心情就只持續了那麼幾天。

出國前托同事買了Finn的專輯《我小時候是嬉皮》，一直斷斷續續聽著。

我小時候不是嬉皮，我小時候只幻想著有天，哪天自己能為一本好的雜誌寫些甚麼東西。
我小時候只希望一家人開開心心地。

這個世界本來就不太合理 太多的事情 我們不能夠決定
這個世界本來就不太合邏輯 太多的事情 不是倔強就可以

如果無法改變他們，就試著改變自己。是吧，是這樣吧。

I'd rather dance

Kings Of Convenience is easily my favourite-est concert of the year. Erlend and Eirik made (intense) love to one another with their guitars.
I forgot to bring a camera but captured some images in my mind:
1. The dazzle from Erlend's guitar wood
2. Purple, whimsical notes coming out from the duo's guitars

In other words, I have fallen madly for New York band Vampire Weekend.
And am slapping myself very hard now because I actually missed Shugo Tokumaru!

"It struck me that the two of us could run!"

We were given a rare one week off during Chinese New Year and we promised each other to go cycling by the beach.

The sun was irritatingly HOT, but the skies were blueblueblue. So the sun was forgiven.

I brought along my favourite "Hokkien mee seller" straw-hat, and someone bought a new vintage camera! Can I play with it one day, please?

p.s. I think chatting while cycling is about the closest I'll ever get to multi-tasking anything.

On the bus

Passenger boy in front fiddling with iphone: The iphone really has a brilliant design.
Bus stopped at between Ion and Tangs: Hope Tangs doesn't do any thing stupid to its classic facade.
Holiday by Vampire Weekend: Urge to learn the bass... later half of 2010? 2011?

只愛陌生人

《只愛陌生人》
作曲：張亞東
填詞：林夕
編曲：張亞東
監製：Alvin Leong

我愛上一道疤痕　我愛上一盞燈
我愛傾聽　轉動的秒針　不愛其他傳聞
我愛的比臉色還單純　比寵物還天真
當我需要的只是一個吻　就給我一個吻＊

我只愛陌生人　我只愛陌生人

我愛上某一個人　愛某一種體溫
喜歡看某一個眼神　不愛其他可能

＋ 兩件事：
1. 十幾年的老友交了男友，半年前的事了，今晚終於從老友口中得到確認。我問：怎麼沒早說啊？他回：你都沒問。心想：我們的友情，是不是有了裂痕？
2. 公司里最近有則謠言流傳著，說我瘋狂迷戀其中一名同事。問題是，我和他工作上私底下都沒有任何交集。

April, May, June

Just because I've accumulated a fuckload of Cole Mohr in the macbook. 

＋ Random playlist:
1.  "Oh Yeah!!!" 卢广仲 (2009)
2. 《精彩》蔡健雅 (2003)
3. "Boys and Girls" Pixie Lott (2009)

二月了

时间就这样过去了。
工作没有进展，做起事来总觉力不从心。连续几星期回营受训，难免唤起与男孩们共室的时光点滴。心里渴望着一点温暖安乐，回到家，才记起爸妈早已形同陌路。

那天，工作到一半心情又开始郁闷起来，打开电邮信箱，刚巧中学老师寄来了这么一篇‘剪报’。其中这段特别符合现在的心境：

“我们当时玩得不知天高地厚，玩得将功课抛在一旁，玩得老师们摇头叹息⋯⋯不管追不追得回来，人生没有几个两年可以让你这样子度过。年纪大了离开学校以后更是不可能。当年我们在一起的时候，是用了最善良最纯真的心灵相处。那是我们最美好的一面，还没有被社会被成人的世界污染的最美好的一面。我们在学校、老师们家长们的保护下，做既不是大人又不是孩子，既是大人又是孩子，才能够享 受的集体生活。我们拥抱在一起激动，一起大笑，一起流泪，一起高歌……这样的日子任凭后来生活将我们带到何处，都不可能忘记。它永远在心里保留着最动人的 一部分。”

生活好坏，不是谁的错。是最好的那段时光，早已过去。
