cafe con leche
每天清晨一杯,给自己面对挑战的勇气。
下午疲倦了,再喝上一杯,为自己充电,siesta 一下。
晚上的那一杯,祝贺自己平安顺利地度过一天。
老实说,一天也不就为了三杯咖啡而活着。生活如此简单朴实,有何不好?

岛上的非法移民
“Then you are an illegal immigrant!”
是的,我非法入境,非法居留在小岛上……又或者是岛国强行拘留了我?
最近,看大家的 MSN 匿名和传来的简讯都频频出现一个字 "Trapped"。是不是大家都与我有着同样的感受?我 trapped 在西班牙,你们又为了什么 trapped 呢?难道生活真给我们设下一个个陷阱,设计将我们困在其中?
想起多年前看过的一出戏《岛》。两个男人被困在一个荒岛上。具体剧情已经不记得了,只依稀记得两个男人似乎每天忙着挖矿、爬到高处等待经过的船只的注意。最耐人寻味的是,他们在这无人的小岛上还划出了属于自己的私人空间。无形的线,把他们牵制住,谁也不愿意跨入对方的地盘。
坐在货仓里看戏的我,双手紧紧抓住座位,守住这个空间里仅属于我的一张塑料椅子;看戏时,还不时偷瞄那扇紧挨着的铁门。剧终。铁门一打开,我直冲到货仓外,深深吸了一口气。这是不是每个被 trapped 的人最直接的反应呢?如果是,快给我一口新鲜的西班牙空气吧!

飛人
很難不想起你載著我飛奔在 AYE 的那一次。身為 best pillon 的我,緊握著油筒,專心地配合你每一個 lane change、"kap" corner、sharp turning...
昨夜,你告訴我《有一種愛叫作放手》。你問我怎麼辦。
既然決定放手,找回 AYE 昔日的瀟灑吧!願你飛向更藍的一片天!

打通筋脉……
FAD 對風的印象是
拼(夢想)︱瘋(生活)︱怕(受傷)
風想告訴你們
我們是同一人。
人家常說,終身伴侶必須能互補。因此,我深信我們能做一輩子的好朋友。
有些人一輩子也沒能找到一個知心的朋友,我有三個能深交的好友,還能怨甚麼呢?

命里有时终须有
决定不再去争取什么。
奇怪。幸福不是应该靠自己争取回来的吗?
经验却告诉我,有些人、有些事、有些感情,争取回来了,自己也不会快乐。
莫强求。不属于我的,就应该趁早放下。这可能才是保留美好回忆的唯一方法。数十年后,某一天,记起你,心里仍会甜滋滋的。

a fugitive in the midst of infinite
The wind keeps on blowing. Come back still, even if you do not manage to find happiness.

土星原来还有不同
三个男人知道了,纷纷传来简讯。
F 男人:你真的是连‘死’字都不会写。Thank goodness you are alive!
A 男人:哎哟!为什么会弄成这样?Take care k. Muakz.
D 男人:哇!你应该去 sign on commando. 哈哈!
从以上反应可看出三个男人的年龄。
F 男人就像是慈父一样,爱护女人却又抱怨她不听自己的话。
A 男人其实就像蜜恋中的男孩,以最纯真的方式安慰心仪的女孩。
D 男人以最幽默的方法逗女人一笑,这其中又不失尊重与肯定。
女人忍不住笑出来。

成人非童话在西班牙XIV
陆地越来越清晰可见
降落的时间一分一秒地逼近
没有时间了
到底要不要戴隐形眼镜?
要不要戴帽子?
要不要化妆?
最后一刻
决定用披肩裹住自己
从容地走出机舱
我又一次回到家了
却发现来不及和云说再见

成人非童话在西班牙XIII
独自在巴塞罗那晃的三天,脑子里重复浮现一个问题:能一个人活着吗?
肯定可以。
本来就一直生活在自给自足的模式当中。只要有蓝天白云、树木花朵……大自然就是心灵的养分。
内心深处迟疑了。
不得不承认,已经疲累不堪。这条路,用蛮牛之力走了29年。是不是该找个休息站歇歇脚,才能往前走下去?
抬起头,望了望天空。太阳不见了。

成人非童话在西班牙IX
- 2天半
- 8座山
- 80多公里
- 摄氏10度
- 3间歇脚处(refuge)
- 2+2-1-2-1=0人
脑袋不想再想
背上的 8.5kg 不比生活沉重
左脚的旧伤开始复发
果然是体力极限的挑战
望着
蔚蓝的天空
走在
起伏的山峦
吹着
绿色的秋风
吸着
牛粪的气味
此时此刻
只想
放空

起风了。
飞过了 Barcelona 的圣家堂。美丽的童话城堡让风的世界五彩缤纷。
吹到了 Bilbao 的古根汉这个20世纪的巨作。还是一阵兴奋!
这份激情被越洋电话另一头冷冷的声音浇熄了。
忽然,夕阳下的古根汉好像是一张张巨型冥纸砌成的死亡城堡。
冰冷。和今天的天气一样。摄氏10度。

成人非童话在西班牙VI
好友明天回返新加坡。这一别恐怕要等上好几个月才能再次见面。虽然疲累,狠下心,与她跑遍三间博物馆。来西班牙之前,曾向友人提过:这是一次艺术之旅。我要看尽所有西班牙名家的画展!
毕加索、米勒、17世纪的宗教画家……我的脑袋已经饱和。达里、苟雅,对不起,只好等待下一次了来西班牙时,再来看你们了。

成人非童话在西班牙III
应该是让人放松休闲的一天。
早上起床心情却十分不爽。
化了妆。上了平日没化的黑色眼影,让自己更 gothic。
带着依旧灿烂的笑容面对朋友。不是怕挚友担心,是不想扫兴。今天就尽情地玩吧!
第二场:迷失
决定收起地图,像西班牙苍蝇四处窜走。这种旅游方式既惊险又刺激,让我想起小学时期离家出走的短短几个小时。
La Ramblas 其实由五条街道组成。路上皆是街头艺人、赌档骗子、宿舍广告人、花店、啤酒咖啡座...... 最棒的莫过于小巷里的一间甜品店 Cafe Granja Viader。点了夏天特有的饮料 orxata。别问我这是什么。只知道它是 tiger nut 做成的。什么是 tiger nut?不知道。喝入口中,淡淡的香甜,有点像豆奶,却有另一番滋味。
既然走进了小巷子,决定继续乱闯,完成我的迷失计划。今天的出走把我带进三所教堂。
第一间是所巴洛克教堂,就坐落在繁忙的 La Rambla 大街上。简单的巴洛克设计与巴塞罗那的歌德文化相映成趣。据说,这是巴塞罗那最古老的教堂。
第二间是所不知名的歌德教堂。彩色玻璃(stained glass)在歌德设计中的重要性完全凸现在这里。我们忙着捕捉光的踪影,还在耶稣的雕像旁录了短短的光影戏。光是流动的,是有呼吸的,是戏剧性的。
第三间是巴塞罗那大教堂(Cathedral de Barcelona)。相比之下,它显得更商业化。平日若想进入教堂参观,是必须付门票的。我们今天正好赶上弥撒,免费入场。巴塞罗那人信奉的是 Catalan 天主教。这里让我们感受到的,除了有宗教色彩,更强烈的是 Catalan 独特的民族文化。
夕阳下,游走到另一所不知名的教堂外,见证了一场婚礼。当新人步入广场,亲友们往空中撒玫瑰花瓣。四周响起温馨的掌声。
简单的仪式、西班牙人的关爱,给今天的游走一个美丽的结束。

成人非童话之中年
憋得慌
前几天,一位挚友宣判我的心境已进入了可怕的中年阶段。
也许是吧。
我开始意识到了人生的危机感。
这种危机感恐怕只会出现在那些生活不美满的人身上。
它是在警戒你:你生病了。
解药?
只有一个。
找回生命的平衡线。

成人非童话之青年
对于你,我总是难以捉摸
对于我,你总是自我封锁
你我会不会有结果
会不会有结果
能不能有解脱
我们到底在等什么
两颗心都太脆弱
谁都不愿现放下自我
两颗心都太不洒脱
两颗心陷入旋涡
关于她,我显得失落
关于她,你表现退缩
旋涡 彼此之间不知所措
旋涡 能不能 会不会 有结果
一开始,爱是甜的。香的。热的。浓的。辣的。酸的。痛的。湿的。咸的。苦的。涩的。
到了最后几年,才发现爱已渐渐远行......

成人非童话之少年
- 小学六年级,学校准备“收购”隔壁的拍卖小学。
- 中学三年级,学校宣布自主,从今以后少听教育部的话,准备搬迁。
- 高中二年级,学校筹款,修建新校舍,阿门。
- 大学三年级,学校筹备扩建,面积有一个组屋区那么大的校园供学生呼吸的空间是越来越小。
难道你没发现,教育确实是个企业,学校是有限公司(只不过不是私人的,是公家的)。学生,即是这间规模庞大的公司中的小职员。
洗脑:校训
- Ready to Serve
- 勤慎端朴
- Up and On
什么洗脑!难道校训还教你坏的不成?当然不。众教育家的用意本是好的。什么话该说?什么时候说?怎么说?什么事该做?什么时候做?怎么做?这不是基本生活技能,是什么?但仔细想想,这不是改造,又是什么?永远要 politically correct ……这叫十几岁的少年太沉重……
心魔:课程
- 语文 x 2
- 文科 x 3
- 数学 x 2
- 科学 x 2
- 会计
- 美术
这是小妹我用了 15 年修来的“福报”。福,即福气。从以上数据看来,小妹我似乎博学多才。报,即报应。年少的青春,竟在学业这只洪水猛兽的淫威逼迫下,流逝了……
说了这么多,别误会,我并不讨厌上学的日子。
相反之,我爱学校、爱校服、爱课外活动、爱参加比赛……
说穿了,我爱受重视的感觉,也需要归属感。
可想而知,当年的我,也是老师眼中的一颗苹果。
因此,虽然我不是品学兼优的模范生,但仍许下承诺:每逢教师节必要回去探望各位,当面向大家说声谢谢。而每年的这一天晚上,我必然要躲在家里,为自己再次的失约,忏悔。
对于这些疼过我的老师,我是感到愧疚的。对不起,我总是在考试成绩放榜时,让您们失望。不是我没尽力,只是每当我回头看,总会发现自己还能付出更多。
对于那些忍受过我的脸色的老师,我不能说自己有多本事,只是希望您能给学生更多的信任,更大的学习自主权。
也许,在您们看来,到了今时今日,我还保留了当年叛逆少年的轻狂。
其实,我只是不甘愿当这个制度下的牺牲品。

成人非童话之幼年
阿嫲的旧家坐落在空军基地旁,每天早晚两次都有战斗机起飞降落的引擎声给我们播报时间。我们表姐弟几人总会搁下玩具,向着天空致意。
阿嫲的旧家四周都是鱼池。池与池之间的阡陌是我们玩 catching 的最佳场地。偶尔,也会有人一个不留神,滑入池中与鱼群共舞。这是我们最兴奋最紧张的时刻了。
阿嫲的旧家门前有个小池塘。那是属于我们表姐弟几人的。闲着无聊时,我们就会开始在池塘里泛舟。严格来说,那是表弟们用木材、木门筑的“筏”,筏上还摆了几个舅母不要的沙发垫。躺在沙发垫上,晒着太阳,喝一口橙汁,是多么写意的一件事。
阿嫲的旧家厨房里有一口井。据母亲说,那口井是阿公让员工挖的。从井里打一桶冰凉的水,往头上一淋……冷!爽!从此,每逢到阿嫲的旧家,我必会要求打井水冲凉。母亲却总是担心我会滑倒,掉入井里。
阿嫲的旧家房间摆着一个很大很长的榻。那是母亲、阿姨、舅舅们小时候的床。我最喜欢和表弟们同榻而寝,闻一闻长辈们儿时的味道。
阿嫲的旧家是阿公和员工们协力盖起来的。我也只能从这间规模还算不小的锌板屋,追踪阿公的足迹;从角落里的小黑板上遗留下来的字迹,认识这个我从来没见过的外公。萬利私人有限公司曾经让住在这里的每一个家庭成员丰衣足食。
阿嫲的旧家在政府的土地征收计划下,被拆了。表弟们一家也跟着迁徙了。有关童年的记忆,只能在这条通往阿嫲的旧家的老路上慢慢搜寻……只见 Lorong Baling 路边的大伯公还寂寞地驻守在一片荒芜的草丛旁……

Back
WAY TO GO!
很少有看部落格的习惯。没想到自己又重新染上了偷窥瘾,用了整个晚上窥完了疯子的生活。竟然唤起了压抑在内心已久的回忆。我不是都把它们都抛开了吗?直到今晚我才恍然,自己究竟没那么洒脱。
唉~~余震已经开始,天空开始飘起毛毛细雨,看来火山在这两天可能会爆发。请大家事先做好防范措施。
memoirs of the wind past episodes
放假
阴天。下着毛毛细雨,
一个人坐在 Downtown East 喝珍珠红茶,吃盐酥鸡……
四周一片绚丽的色彩 嘈杂的音乐
鲤鱼池潺潺的水声流入耳
小孩嚷着要看鱼
父母亲背着大包小包赶路
初院生嬉笑玩闹
洋爸爸抱着宝宝在雨中调情
一对情侣手牵着手去买雪糕
刚游完泳的游客裹着毛巾走进 Ben & Jerry's
Can I have a waffle please? Can I have a waffle please?
一家三兄妹共享一碗雪糕
小贩推着一车筒仔面路过
KFC 员工又推着一车 pepsi 走回
工作人员忙着讲电话
Hehehe...... Bodoh......
一个中年男子好奇地偷看我在写什么
泪水模糊视线感觉真好!
我还活着……

there lies 2 open options:
1. dream in agony
2. awaken in pain
i've been giving too many chances, been dreaming for too long. i've always hated the feeling of waking up in the mornings. let mi remain in the dark nite where everything seems surreal.
i've to wake up now. it's time to live by my mind. my eyes turn red, tears choke in my throat, but i remain calm.
i've found a way to endure tis pain. "stay positive!" my frens wld say. i'll juz remember ur wickedness n feel stupid tt i've wanted to stay dreaming... but ouch! it stil hurts...
Monday, October 2, 2006
he was there spurring me on throughout the nite. he was next to me. i've nvr felt him so close.
we never had the chance to really spend great quality time tgthr. time is always a luxury. fate always has its own idea. as much as i wan things to turn out best for u, i worry abt myself, n us...
u hav the voice of honey. u've always been able to tok mi out of my moods n am forever patient while i throw tantrums. u've nvr failed to make mi smile thru tears. as much as i love u, i hate u too.
did it ever occur to u tt ur gentleness might murder our happiness? while the heart wanna brave thru the slashes of pain, the body juz wanna hide in a small safe corner to wait for the next collector to pick it up n protect it.it's a life of misses n misunderstandings...

My dream since young was to fly. Luck has it that I finally flew to Asia, Africa and Europe... now America --- place that I think about. Doubts that I would ever wanna visit that place. Age has forbidden me from going on long journeys. Will there ever be a day when it might move next to Asia?

I've had a great opening @ TWISTED today. Missed the applause. Missed the stage lx. Missed the live music. Missed the theatre. Missed my puppets. Missed my fellow actors. Missed everything abt theatre. But I'll not regret my choice... Wait for me... I'll b back...
If you'd missed Furthest North, Deepest South (5th Life! Theatre Awards-Best Production of the Year-Best Ensemble Acting), Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea ("5 stars out of 5 stars! ... Among the best theatre i've ever seen." The Flying Inkpot). Don't miss TWISTED (opened TODAY)
THE FINGER PLAYERS
Presents
Twisted
Twisted tells the story of a man who keeps falling into the same hole in his entire lifetime.
Layered shadow imagery and dazzling puppetry conjure up scenes of mystery, enchantment and macabre fun as a child fends off attacksfrom his schoolbag possessed with monsters; lovers appear as bow ties strangling one’s neck and a blackhole that keeps sucking life away from all around it.
Images emerge, floating by as in a daydream; silhouettes in the dim light move to a soundscape like a visual orchestra.
The Finger Players brings together the talents of award-winning Sound Designer, Darren Ng, up and coming lighting designer, Lim Woan Wen and movement artist Koh Leng Leng in this fascinating world inhabited by puppets and shadows.
The purity, simplicity and poetry of the tale would evoke a scenic mosaic created between sound, lights, dance and puppet theatre.
