打著 "Less is more" 的旗號。什麼意思？就是說雖是 Less, 但買了多一雙還是 more 啊... 理念貫徹!

身體是誠實的。你怎麼對它，它就怎麼反應。也許這正是為什麼那麼多人喜愛運動吧，尤其是在這個用語言*溝通的世界。

20110523：话语。酒精。分数

2011-05-23T03:15:00.000+08:00

20110523

话语。酒精。分数

先声明是同事。不是家人或关系要好的朋友。
一群同事在一起。一个人提起自己的生活事，另一个人也‘分享’自己的相关经历。没什么知识性。说的人就纯粹的说出自己的故事; 听的人也没什么兴趣把听到的东西从耳鼓领进脑子里，把它当作曝露在空气中的酒精般遗忘。一个说完后，另一个接下去吐出自己那份酒精。浪费时间精力的事是其次，重要在于自己话语的价值。

贵精不贵多，话语亦然。没实用价值的话语如资讯数据，减分；没情感价值的话语如慰问关怀，减分。但很奇怪的，很多人乐于此道。。。不解。

这算是怨天尤人帖吗？不是，是我真真正正对近期周遭的感想。

最近看了一本好書：余秋雨著的《中華文化：從台大到北大》。書中兩個我覺得最精彩的點（為了流暢，我有修改與加減些許字眼）：

“ 為什麼文化被喚醒反而會引來痛苦？因為這牽涉到一種決定人之為人的價值系統。這種價值系統一旦出現，一定與周邊格格不入，也一定與尚未甦醒時的自己格格不入，但它又是那樣地攝魂奪魄。因此，許多在文化上甦醒的個人，常常選擇自殺。從中國的屈原到西方的很多哲學家，都是如此。
   相比之下，人的經濟意識或政治意識被喚醒，帶來的是興奮。既有追求成功的目標，又有面對敵人的興奮。文化既沒有成敗座標，又沒有敵我座標，因此沒有這種興奮。世上很多看上去“很興奮”的文化，多數已把文化政治化或經濟化了。直到今天，海峽兩岸的不少熱鬧文化，其實都只不過是政治和經濟的延伸。文化的本體，卻失落了。這也可以說，很多人都在努力讓文化不要甦醒，只讓文化沉睡在政治的懷裡，或經濟的懷裡。
   文化的甦醒，既不興奮，也不熱鬧，因此會使不少人“掃興”。“眾人皆醉，唯我獨醒”。這種狀態使眾人尷尬，因此眾人也不願意接受這種醒，不管是別人的醒，還是自己的醒。
   文化的甦醒，其價值是擺脫文明意義上的大量欺騙和誘騙，使人成為一個自覺的人。。。”

   （第一部分：“閃問”）

- “（百家爭鳴的消失，儒家思想主導）更令人遺憾的是，此後中國人逐漸產生一種思維慣性，那就是對任何問題的單一化判斷和選擇。”

- “。。。大家已經習慣選擇後的獨尊，而不再嚮往選擇過程中的無限。”

   （第五課：“稷下學宮和雅典學院”）

上公共巴士上街。空气中夹杂飘荡着小雨带来的湿气。
上了巴士，扑鼻而来的气味让我脑子里飘起几个念头，沒一个是好的：老人味，多个人体的体味参杂出来的无法言喻的气味，再来湿气熏香。不爽。

这气味代表的不只是气味，也代表着对当事人对世俗厌恶而又无法逃离仍身在其中的嘲讽。

星期日，二十六岁生日。也是大伯母的出殡日。

从很小时候之后隔了好长一段时间的参与丧礼, 而且关系是蛮近的。出殡前有一段念经仪式。很久，师傅的咏经声中让人沉默着追思死者。很感情渲染的时刻。就算只是每年新年或祖先忌日见一，两次面的人，想到这个人从此消失，感觉还是蛮感慨的。。更何况还是有间接血缘关系的亲戚。

后来男女分开两边坐在草席上论辈分轮流向大伯母“现金”，“现品”。气氛肃穆庄严。。。选择坐在一旁椅子的姑丈选择在这个时机划破肃静，表现父爱叮咛两个小孩“喝多点水”。

我在想他脑子里那时到底是在想些什么。。。还是他到底有脑袋吗？

。

四点多回到自己的窝。继续奔前程。。。谢谢大宝的 Timeberland, 谢谢各位的生日祝福　:)

Stuck in a situation, being in a not-so-desired (by point of view of society) for more than a while could tell how much a friend knows about you.

I choose to 'talk to you next time', as my reply to those gave me opinion and advices as if i didn't think of it myself. Funny. I m not being curt towards friends, but what you say represent what you have in mind. If you tell me things with such thoughfulness, I can't help but wondering why you bother to entertain me.

I reached a point that my life's filled with just a set of routined schedule. Meaning I can live on with a fixed. I dont mean the work-home-sleep-work kinda case that you see in movies, but it can be a more complex and larger scale in term of timing, sometimes not necessarily have a particular time frame. For example. Character A that reached 25 years old now is having his/her life packed with basically work and home, with some time given to boy/girlfriend, some time given to mahjong outing, sometimes go to tour Thailand with close friend B, sometimes go to clubbing with a bunch of colleagues C. And that's the cycle.

It's good or at least alright if the routine that one has's bring him/her somewhere and keep him/her moves on. Otherwise, it just seemed like one's life's ended. Dead. It's a you-are-enjoying-it kind of dead. You're living to experience the dead life.

Of course, that's IF you choose to spend some time to think about your life, and you think like me.

Recap of the week...well, with last Sunday.

Went for a ride with MunHow and KokHeng last weekend, and drove through highway CA-23S (South bound), the part after crossed US-101S. Bloody challenging 山路 with tons of bends, real sharp bends. Reminded me of the course Takumi raced with MR2 that the cars 'jumped'. The kinda of > 180 degree bends that nearly stop the car to turn at the night with barely any car on the course lat night... vein-burning!!! But 辛苦了 KokHeng, who was at the back seat. I am sure it was not a nice experience.

...

Writer's block recently, other than I am in fact, not a writer but an illustrator, if i'm even considered one. Having roller coaster sleeping routine recently (this week) and whole routine's been affected too. Sleeping time for the week passed was 3 - 8 - 3 - 9 - 4 - 11. Cycle of staying up as long as I could, hope to be more productive > being dead the next day > sleep a lot to make up, without my command, my body just did so > recharged, and stay up later, cycles...

funny. I think I am trying not to think too much.

I have a thinking that hollywood's just a factory of run-test formula of movie/money making industry. Which sadly, followed and looked up by movie industries around the world. I am not saying I watch a lot of movies and good in reviewing, but I think it takes certain amount of experience of watching American and non-american movies to feel that. I try not to link Hollywood with American, but so far, I couldn't remember any good indi movies of America soil. So it's just 'American' to me. I think it has to do with the culture and history of the nation, just like Malays. They just dont have the fruit of history to somehow captivate 'soul' in their film. Difference between american and Malays is American are proud of themselves and the have the wit to package and sell their patriotism of themselves to the rest of the world. So we have the 'American dream'. Malay are not, those who live with them know the best why's that.
Package of muscular heroes one man show, hot babes, explosion x car chasing...etc. are obvious, wouldn't need much explanation to understand why they're attractive to more basic human's instinct need and desire. I am just tired of it. But even for soul-exploring emotion driven movies, there's similiarity in the movies produced these years. At first there's one or two really original pieces that touched audience' hearts. They sell, and movie-makers just clone that formula. 换汤不换药. Formulas: 1. emphasizing linkage between people regardless of skin colour, spoken language, background b'cuz of their similiarity like interest, experiences, deeper emotional need. 2. One(s) finding themselves through a certain thing and a chain of consequences of it, exploring themselves, look at their life from a different point of view (Sunshine Cleaning). These are the 2 formulas I can think about that been used pretty frequently in movies these days.
Of course there'r formulas in Japanese drama and movies, but the way presented can move me, still, most of the time. It's the both the script and the actor/actress, able to hit the resonance frequency of my heart. The culture's full or stories and traditions that well-refined, attracts my curiousity to explore and know more about it. So are Europeans, historic culture fermented unique talents in presenting the stories in life. Mostly French and Spanish, also Danish, Swedish. It's pure and sincere, from the heart of the director or whoever telling the story. You can feel it when you watch the movie.

0817 - 0823 星期小回顾

这是一个等钱的星期. EDB欠我们的生活费到现在还没来. 已经拖了一个月了...真的是没话说.

没钱的日子有它的过法: 压抑对重复公式的反感. 每天晚餐是标准的清汤挂面. 不缺营养的同时成本又可以降到很低. 只需挂面/米粉,一条萝卜,一瓣西芹,一些肉片. 再来是迟回

时注意一下公司每天叫的外卖有没有剩，拿来做隔天午餐或什么的...etc.

星期二. 滥睡到中午才到公司...继续烂.

星期三. '救世主' Justin清空他的 apartment: 要回新加坡了!! 一箱的罐头,一箱的挂面,加上一些合成食物,冷冻餐,饮料...让我(们)的屯粮更有信心. 当晚在毅飞

,景耀那边小聚,当作是Justin饯别聚. 文豪引用'众仙家',说得好象是在西王母宫开潘桃大会 o..o 唯一用酒精的景耀开心的分享他超级细腻的童年打game记忆...能人一个.

星期四. 送Justin 到LAX. Terminal是 Tom Bradley. 闻到久违了的,机场特有的'国际杂烩气息'! 各色人物穿梭往来. '风景'比起Irvine的'公司&住处'是

新鲜,有趣啊!!

星期五. 终于把整套37式郑子太极从景耀师父那儿学来了. 还动了一下推手. 绝对是对左大腿肌的考验x..X 借着周末可睡眠放纵,加紧演练式到深夜.

星期六. 九小时的睡眠: 睡到日上三竿. 起来,照例到公司懒一下.重复机械式的 check mail > 浏览一系列指定网站. 在公司的'私人小球场'练一下球. 八点多在停车场顶

楼演练37式,挑战自己的脚步: 如果正确的话,开始与结束时会在同一点上 (住处不够位,得退步). 结果差了一步 :) 而这也许是一开始学的就有错误. 之后回到住处跑了一圈,练

了一下肌. 清醒多了~ 虽然接下来是雪糕 + 罐头食物...

今天星期天. 一样,到公司来骗冷气,电脑,食物...感觉有点像私人网吧. 但今天不只有我个人...有点不安心. 应该不会呆太久吧!

...继续等待钱的到来.

有一种没有尼古丁的烟.

很多人都抽着这种烟, 有些人感觉很好, 有些人根本很自然地抽着, 都不当一回事, 因为很多时候它像香烟一样很容易成为一种习惯. 它不用花钱买, 会讲话就可以了. 就叫它 '承诺烟' 吧~

当一个人说出口的承诺就像吐出来的烟, 不一会儿就消失混在空气粒子中, 当没事一样，这就是了!
不巧, 在我身边就遇到这样的烟客. '好,好, 好~ 可以, 可以...' 就没下文了. 当你跟进时, 此烟客会逃避, 不答, 不接话... 直到承诺过了兑期限. 不论承诺的大小.

这不太好应付, 因为有时候这种人在其他都很有common sense, 是很正常甚至卓越的. 这时候会让我对这种与整体品性不称的特征感到迷惑与不解, 有时难以相信. 但... 碰了几次灰, 总是得学会的: 有些人的有些话, 就别太当真吧.

'Tokyo!'. 3 stories: 'Interior Design', 'Merde', 'Shaking Tokyo'.

Interior design... Lost, and found yourself more useful as not being you, in the clip, a chair. True, that seemed cool, if, you're satisfied with what a chair get. People's butt kissing you...maybe.
Feeling the tensed lifestyle in Tokyo, especially when you're not among the excels. Sad but true, some people choose to run away. Maybe 100%ly, maybe to certain percentage.

生活的 focus 看不到. 脑筋太杂, 太多东西. 没理干净...

越来越对现在的Nike感到灰心.
九十年代一季看到的鞋款每一双都是新设计, 每一双都有自己的灵魂, 个性. 百花齐放, 绚丽得让许许多多人因此喜欢上篮球鞋, 喜欢的更为之疯狂. 随便看 Foamposite, AJ XI, XII, Air More Uptempo, Air Penny's, Air Pippen, Air Flight Turbulence...都是经典, 都有对其情有独钟的人.
转看现在球鞋业, 和潮流明显挂钩了. 球鞋不再只是球鞋, 而扩大到可以是压马路 or just for show. 照理说发挥空间应该也是成正比的扩大. 更多的创意,设计有发表的机会. 但Nike似乎把创意发挥在了行销: 如何节省设计量的同时还能吸引人们买它的鞋.

放眼看现在的 sneaker 界, 炒得热的是' 一鞋多色', 合体, 炒冷饭.

'一鞋多色'.
举例 Zoom LeBron's & Kobe's, 一代鞋款到下一代之间出了多少配色, edition, 鞋友们应该心里有数. 小皇帝 ZL's IV, V, VI配色不下10种. Kobe's H2K4, H2K5, ZK I少说也有五六个配色. ZK IV 广告打得响 + Kobe 赢得今年总冠军, 就更不用说了.
如果说它们是常年潮鞋款像 AF1, Dunks 最近Air Max's好像也加入行列...) 也还说得过去: 需要不时有新鲜的配色来吸引大家. 可它们不是!! 可以为了纪念一个日期, 球员老妈, 球员高校, 个别城市, 还是其它奇奇怪怪的理由而出一款配色... 还是限量.
我搞不懂人们买这些鞋款的时候, 到底有几个会在乎它背后 (标榜对该球员来说有纪念价值) 的意义. 还是因为限量, 因为喜欢那个颜色, 因为 'Collector' 心理 - 就是要收完他的所有配色？

合体
的最为MJ迷津津乐道的：AJF. Air Jordan Fusion. 老实说， what the f...?! 把传奇经典 Air jordan 造塌了!! 我不知道别人怎么看, 个人觉得这是个明显江郎才尽的应对之策. 虽把旧的东西参起来也许会擦出不同的火花, 但我在AJF's 身上看不到这一点. 设计融合得勉强. 如果那些设计不是来自AJ's, 我想很多人对其会有另一番评审.
想到的其它例子: Air Max's with 360 outsoles, Flywire Cortez,

炒冷饭
直接的叫做 Retro
Retro, 曾经是让我期待的一个词现在却因为出现的频率太频密而麻木了相比十年前的间隔期与鞋款挑选远精细过现在. 现在Nike 给我的感觉是想揸干鞋迷身上的每一分钱. 利用鞋款的经典与鞋迷们对它们的怀念以不同的形式Retro. Foamposites, Penny's, AZFV's, AJ XII Nubuck, Rising Sun, AJ Packs (BMP, DMP, Countdown Pack, Raging bull Pack...)

游走于'合体'与'炒冷饭'范畴 , 通过较间接形式的有个华丽的包装, 叫 'Inspired by'.
1/2 Cent, Zoom Fun Police, Zoom Flight Club, Zoom Flip'N, Zoom Sharkley, Zoom Sharkalaid...等. 就算没剖白，玩鞋有些年月的朋友也都不会对这些鞋款上看到的影子感到陌生。也许这么做可以吸引新一代的顾客群, 但对我这个做设计的来说, 看到设计从A拷出来改装一点就变成B的做法实在感到不爽, 为一再重用设计感到可耻, 为Nike没新戏唱感到悲哀, 也为买鞋的人(有时包括我自己)不值, 同时也不解为什么还是有这么多知道这些背景故事的人愿意付钱买这些鞋...

人类没演化成拥有多几对脚, 鞋子也没演化成即用即丢,但出鞋,买鞋的频率却在加快. 有'求'才有'供'. 我最不解的是时下好多收鞋的朋友在倾尽财力,能力被动 (鞋厂出鞋是主动) 买鞋的时候有没有想想到底是为了什么？也许我还活在过去, 接受不来现代的市场行销功略...

没有针对任何人的意思, 只是分享我个人的想法.

伤风天, 累了. 今天就此打住.

是你已经upgraded, 我的思想等级对你来说已经无聊, 肤浅得不值一听了吗?

人有好多面, 有一些面一直存在, 但由于关系的改变才显露出来.
而这些面, 有的好陌生, 有的令我感到意外, 有的令我感到失望... 忽冷忽热, 变幻莫测, 让我觉得难以适应.

每个人在生活中都扮演着许许多多的角色: 父亲母亲,孩子,长辈,朋友,好友,恋人,同事,知己,红颜,丈夫,妻子,老板,路人甲...但戏份渗入层面最广,却也最难演的角色,是自己.
有一批人在寻找演好这个角色的方案, 因为觉得很重要; 有些人却站在另一极端的没能/选择根本不察觉. 而在这两种态度之间的则更为多数啦!
没有1 或0 的黑白分明主题, 而尽是时时刻刻都会踩到绚丽色彩所设下的骗局的视觉挑战.
岁月的流失,年龄的增长,肩上的责任,让每一出戏都可以是决定生死的挑战...也可以根本不值一文: 就生活中的另一天嘛.

好长好复杂的一个方程式...也难怪有人不去想.

没有结论, 也不需结论. 因为到头来也不一定会有个结论.

美国之行是好的.

虽然没有我想象中的梦幻,华丽. 但在这陌生的城市生活让我了解了一些东西. 让我对我生活构成的成分衡量一下, 人啊,情啊,事啊,物啊...
什么东西是我要的;什么东西是水中月;什么是应该珍惜保护的;什么是可以选择性顾及的.

但是要理的思绪还是不少, 所以乘回到新加坡,暂交给大斑+家人的生活担子又放回我肩上之前尽量成长多些吧...

...

电影'游龙戏凤':

'传说中,幸福就好像一个玻璃球.
这个玻璃球从天上掉了下来,打碎了.
玻璃球的碎片散落在每一个人身边,
于是周围的人就把碎片捡起来.
有些人捡到多些;有些人捡到少些...
但是,没有人能捡到全部.'

选择是一门学问
为什么有时候会花时间在一些自已不是很想参与的事情上？是脑子里理性部门告诉你:'应该去对', '你人际关系有帮助', '也许你会喜欢？'

要知道, 时间去了就没有了.
活了一些年月了，应该了解自己对自己的判断与决定要有信心，不明智的'时间投资',小样小样累计起来，已经浪费了好些时间.

乱

心神很乱. 也许就如大斑说的, 是人生两个阶段的交替阶段吧... 生活的重心被可预见的, 突如其来的, 重大的, 烦琐的, 直接, 间接, 或不关于自己的东西搞得一窝粥.

有些事，第一次很新鲜，第二次第三次多几次就改观了。
过低的车身，过热的引擎， alignment... 流水般的出账把涡轮排气阀的兴奋冲得像废气般排得看不见条毛了...hmmm。又是钱。现实和理想衡量的根本考虑因素。

观察车子前作座位底下的小空间, 别有一番世界: 纸张, 名片, 塑料瓶, 钱币, 螺丝, 铁钉, 糖果包装纸。。。其实也不是很多种类 -..-

今天炒车, Eclipse没了.

过高速弯时突然'浮起',失控. 两边的栏杆/墙都撞了才停下.

在想几样东西:
1. 为什么自己会苯到车还没停就认为可以下车,造成这次意外的唯一几处伤痕.
2. 对车,尤其是二手车的信赖度大大降低.
3. 很多因素左右着命运. 我可以预算的只是我与车, 其他如路面状况都是未知数.
4. 幸好没断手段脚,没别的人或车被我害到.幸运~

一天内的第二次来公司.

在没车没人的二楼露天停车场，小踢了一下球...

第二次吃着弄热了还剩很多，公司提供的午餐。

虽然都是重复着 'check mail > deviant > youtube' cycles，虽然最近都没什么在画但总是会给自己这里的电脑可以跑photoshop much better than my bloody sony VAIO的理由在这里烂. 逃避那装饰着'友好,相处融洽'外衣但总觉得其实不然的住所.

找没有人玩 + 呆在房间里像在软禁自己.

总觉得身边的朋友同伴达不到自己对其的要求. 是我期望太多了吗？还是不习惯太久没人关怀？朋友同伴陌生人...人际关系我还是不懂.

从前不屑把喜怒哀乐轻易表现，因为这让自己太容易被看穿了；不屑把感情表达出来，因为这代表自己不能处理自己的情感，需要别人的帮助。

慢慢长大，活在自己的小国家。
开心的时候没人可以分享，失落寂寞的时候没人能找，才发现自已也是其中一个脆弱的凡夫俗子而。以前认为是多余的情感表达，其实是让自

己活得像人的一部分。

失去才懂得珍惜，凄而美又真实得没话说的人性。

不重要的, 没必要花时间打那么多字 ; 重要的, 不会那么公开的跟大家说, 也没必要.
想要记起来, 要保存的, 会找纸和笔 (墨水笔) ; 一大堆blog贴放在虚无飘渺的网络上, 哪一天不见掉也说不定. 存档? 做起来又多一件事要和它不得空. 再者, backup 起来还不是在另外一个 HDD, 一样unsecured.

Ontario Mills trip.

Took freeways (highway/expressways) up North, street roads back.
Long long drive. But it's fun, to drive, always.

Way up, 70,80mph to heavy traffic with 40mph moving speed, to turtle speed... assorted.
Way back. 1 hour from Mills to Harbor blvd. Another 50 mins. to The Cape. Scenery along the way's much more interesting. Up-market residencial, small shopping areas, sub-urb., single-lane road with no street lights (like the route of Mersing - Kluang), Disneyland...back to the old South Coast Drive.

Interesting to bump into MH + KH, who lost their way on the way back from LA. & finally found themselves the correct path :D Shall use throttle next time, instead of horn.

Got my driving test passed, which is a 3rd try vs. car broke down...cant even jumpstart. So it's not about battery. Starter probably. So, tml morning got it towed to the workshop + perparing to get yet another bleeding attack for my bank account.

That's life.

Ah pa said, 'dont let the car bother you too much'. Of course it's true. And it's also so bloody challenging XD

为什么感到不安？

新环境不适应不喜欢下意识抗拒改变新环境没那么好方便孤身在外产生的孤独

也好衍生出来的问题有帮助我要什么以前说要到外面看世界但是是为什么？就因为好奇心为了想看而看还是存脆响想让自己有个目标有个梦？像后者多一点来了这里某一程度上达到了目的但感到的是空虚不知道到底是什么问题似乎习惯用脑与逻辑来想事情失去了人的直觉与灵性不好

做什么都没劲因为没人分享可不可以说之前做这些事都是因为有人分享参予才做并不是心理真正想要做的事？因为如果真正想要做一件事是不应该为旁人所影响改变的。因为向做每一件事都不是很有心往往就会给自己找借口理由不行

但对路过都会注视我(是为什么呢 o..o) 小朋友们的大眼睛的抵抗力却比对养眼金发美女还差, 还是忍不住回望. 那些瞳孔中的纯真与清澈不是飘亮脸蛋, 飘亮衣裳可轻易比得上的.

不错的比赛, 主队获胜: 7:5~ 看球对一举拿下五分, 反超 (也是最后的比数) 时, 在现场气氛感染下, 找回了些中学时期与同学/球友一起奋战足球场, 看朋友参加的篮球赛时的激情与感动. Ah Neo, 阿春, 田鸡, 高明, Han Keong...

Big sun out there with just right climate. Everyone in the house's in their own room or world. No one to disturb other than the sound of the wind brushes the leaves in front of the balcony and sometimes, the airplanes fly by.
Lie up on the floor with carpet by the French window/entrance to balcony + my Sony notebook playing Sodegreen, Ah Yue + surfing net + relaxing slightly burnt and not yet-showered-body after some soccer moment and exercise > big meal. Thinking about nothing serious...

This is kinda like the freedom I'm longing for.

Hand stand made me realized how much I love to get my feet into the air. Maybe that's the same reason for me to jump high, to hang in the air.

Just finished 'Resurrecting The Champ'. Josh Hartnett, Samual L. Jackson. Not bad. Like the father role Josh been portrayed. Quoted:
'A writer, like a boxer. Must stand alone. Having your words published, like entering a ring. Puts your talent on display, and there's nowhere to hide...'

Think it's the same for me, as one who draws, paint. And that's the same for everyone. Show your talent's, what you can do, is the only way to proof your worth. Maybe, it gets you close to the answer why are you're here.

一大早到亚美利加国大使馆 (0745 appointment, though the guard let us in much later than that), Visa interview.

Interesting.

American in there were friendly or ok, at least those I came across. It's the locals there that behave funny. Living in their beautiful classy 'American dream', maybe?

Anyway, it's good that the visa's approved without problem. Interviewer was friendly, nice. Got out of there at 0930. Just wish the J-1 could cover me for 10 years like Visitor type x..x

Canadian Visa, next.
