Colleen Lee

今晚外出錯過了港台華人青年演藝家系列的播放時間,所以剛才特別在網上重溫節目,支持一下這位會考同學。

努力回想中四、中五時李嘉齡的片段,記憶真的模糊,只記得她喜歡吃零食,小息時總是吃著蝦片之類的東西。她平常都很安靜,只是掛著笑容,但從她的神態你知道她不是很安靜的類型,只是因為和同學都不稔熟,所以只會眨著她的大眼睛,聽身邊的同學吵吵鬧鬧。

其實,我是記得我以前不大喜歡她(事實是我不大喜歡很多人),因為她除了長得像小女孩外,性格也很小女孩(我是不大喜歡小女孩的人)。同學告訴我她比較自私,可能是因為花大部份時間在鋼琴上,很少與同輩相處的關係吧。

另一較深的印象是,會考放榜當天,有同學問她成績怎樣,她的回應是:我會去演藝。這個答非所問的對話,成了我們幾位A班同學中一時的談笑材料。不過,事實再次證明了,會考成績的好壞,並不能決定一個人的成就和知名度。

對李嘉齡的記憶,就只有這些。

事隔8年,去年我和幾個中學同學到東菅「消費」,按摩時聊起舊同學,李嘉齡是其中一人。怎料,當晚即從新聞中得悉她剛獲得蕭邦鋼琴大賽中的第六名,感覺興奮之餘,心有點戚戚然。電視中剪了一頭短髮的她,再不是一個小女孩,而是添了許多成熟韻味,亦真的有一股藝術家的氣質。

對李嘉齡今天的成就,我也感到很高興,要為她的未來送上誠心的祝福。

在港台網上發現華人青年演藝家系列中第一集的主角亦是一位女鋼琴家,名叫陳薩,所以亦看了。這集中講得較多的是人生哲理,而非只是對音樂的看法。很喜歡陳薩總結時的一句,她說如果你是真正喜歡你的工作時,你會覺得你的犧牲很值得,亦很滿足。

若在這個層面來說,我會質疑我是否真正喜歡自己的工作。

強烈譴責暴力!

無恥之徒竟然在光天化日之下在食市肆無忌憚地用木棍毆打議員,實在時是無法無天!

聽到爸爸說何俊仁被人用木棍毆打的消息,已覺得非常震驚,之後再在新聞看到他被打得眼、臉都腫作一團的樣子,除了口中連番叫著「好慘啊」,就不懂得如何反應。

何俊仁是民主黨立法會議員中,我最敬重的一位,覺得他為人忠厚沉實、平容近人,說話從不刻薄,而且作為大律師的他,不像有些人為人伸張正義只求一己私利,而是真正有正義感。

今晚,看到他這個樣子,真的很心痛。

記得襲擊議員比襲擊平民有更高一等的罪名,旦求犯人早日繩之於法,被重重判罪。

bugger off

Two scenes that get on my nerves the most, which unfortunately occur to me very often.

Scene One:
Late Saturaday Night. Phone rings.
A: Where are you?
Me: I'm at home.
A(in an exaggerated tone): Wow, what happened, why being such a good girl (咁乖o既)?
Me(already burning): ......I just didn't feel like going out.

Scene Two:
Miday on a weekday. On my way to work.
Neighbour/Friend B: You on your way to work now?
Me: Yes.
Neighbour/Friend B: Wow how lucky! Your job is so nice! I've started my day so early today!
Me. Yeah...


Yes I like partying but I have my quiet side too, I'm not obliged to go out every Saturaday night! Why is chilling at home on a Saturaday night such a big deal?? Some people have even called me at two or three in the morning to check my whereabout, what the fxxk, you just don't call people that late! And yes I got lucky sometimes that I could start my day after noon time, but do you realize also I don't get home until one every single night? And in fact for half of the week I had to start my work early too just like you do but then end just as late as my other given nights. So stop bugging me with those stupid comments I'm already very sick of them!

my dear Ben

I bumped into my biggest crush ever at IFC yesterday after 10-year time, I didn't even know he's in HK. But what suprised me the most was that I was not intrigued at all by this accidental rendez-vous, no special feelings. I guess time does do its work. Acutally I'd rather I still had something for him, once again, how fragile is love.
