In the rainy land

我們曾像兩本參考書一樣
躺在床上。我們的作者都不在場。

適合我們的書櫃還未做好。
所以一整天，我們都躺在那裡。

我們彼此
閱讀

悄悄用「上冊」和「下冊」互相
給對方起綽號。

－－臧棣〈報復〉

我將只經歷一次死亡
但沒有人能解答
我為什麼會有十具以上的屍體

我最小的屍體
將是一封信。在雨天裡
掛號寄出

－－臧棣〈抽屜〉

Quick Note: Spain (and Portugal) Trip (22-28July09)

[[SPAIN]]

[PPL]

people are happy
people tend not to care about rules: no queue at bus station; some ignore traffic light (also the drivers!)
people are nice, polite, and welcome tourist
no bad kids
not many people speak fluent English
small population of chinese and other foreigner
Chinese open “chinese store” beside chinese restaurant. chinese food has no place in spain
people are sporty; have beautiful body — hard to see a fat man/woman

[ECON]

SME shops everywhere
privately owned small shops can survive
things are not cheaper than UK
food: expensive (6+euro for a mcdonal meal)
public transport: cheap (1.xx euro for most bus; taxi costs almost half of that in UK)
many people are paid at minimum wage (around 600 euro/month as i remember) and live a good life
haven’t seen many manufacturing industries

[FOOD]

i fallen in love with the bar-cafe
bar-cafe: it’s like spainish style 茶餐廳; sell any kinds of drink + tapas and food
all day
sea food are nice
tapas are nice
diet coke is called “cola light”
beer is cheaper than soft drink (1-2euro for a 300ml bottle of soft drink)

[LAYOUT]

buildings are generally taller than those in liverpool
old church and building everywhere but rather clean and tidy
Graffiti everywhere like part of the culture
roads filled with buses, taxis and motor car
streets are wide and comfortable in commercial area
blocks pack tight with lanes in residential and older regions

[WEATHER]

was 45`C in Sevilla; around 30 in Malaga
quite dry. nicely hot. slightly windy

[ETC.]

English songs on the radio
many festivals
train: clean, tidy, big, comfortable
beach, beach, beach

[[PORTUGAL]]

(this post is long enough!)

: Graffiti rule: 1) respect — does not cover one another; 2) never paint on religious place like temple

Randomly Random

I started my diary on the walls.

I started my part-time job and thinking to finish it up.

The ‘G’ key on my laptop become insensitive.

I think I have become less decisional and did some bad things. I’m sorry, to whom may concern.

I didn’t lie to myself.

I think the weather is hot but I don’t hate it.

I was back to 12 when I was facing the pressure from the living.

I remember how bad I was when I entered high school. I don’t regret.

I found my palm prints continuously grow and now like a mess of hairs.

I think I like my hair style right now it reminds me about Bob Marley.

I’m at office right now.

Stop talking about Michael Jackson please radio!

I wonder if there any girls fancy someone without happiness it creates.

The worst kind of organism is the kind that talks to noone.

Fine then, I’m finishing this shit up.

Ok, one more thing: what if I do a cut on my palm? Will I disappear immediately if it cut through the lifeline?

What a stupid idea!

我只對你的鼻子不放心
即使說謊
它也不會變長

　　－－夏宇＜愚人的特有事業＞

我深怕
在我偷偷寫著你的名字的時候
突然就死了
於是
世界知道了他們不該知道的

　　－－夏宇＜情殺案＞

一個厭世的幽靈偷偷地溜了出去

他不能再死一次了，死在幽靈界是永遠
不可能發生的。他非常
非常沮喪。

　　－－夏宇＜降靈會Ⅰ＞

他仍然替豬接生
長大後又閹掉牠們
油炸所有的睪丸
灑點蔥花
吃了

　　－－夏宇＜頹廢末帝國Ⅰ＞

June 2009

The problem of not updating a blog often is to have many different things piled up to manage at one time. So I better leave it for pictures:-

Descriptions: in brief, some Graffiti (by me and Eric) + computer-based re-creation graphics + Liverpool Tatoo Convention 2009 + my Olympus film cam and B&W films arrival + a nice old to-be-repaired car.

I’m addicted “re-creating” graphic design lately. And thinking it’s a good idea to put some good works into my book (if it would finally be published). Thinking to add a gallery in this blog!

If you Pray for a New Bicycle

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.

My June

I would call June 2009 “My June” because I’m so high for finishing up my current job by the last day of May!

I do NOT hate my job, it’s a decent job indeed. But quiting the job simply means the starting of a summer holiday. It allows me do alot of things that I fancy — those simple things that I am capable to do but the works wouldn’t let me go.

Just a brief to-do list in the next few weeks:

I will finish up the thesis correction (ok, this’ not an interesting one)
I will write a proper CV and send out (ok, even worse)
I will fool around Liverpool and some cities I have been in UK, and take many nice pictures of them. Then I will make a little album together with some writings, make sure I will not forget them in the future.
I will go to Ireland with Jack etc for a break
I will meet friends as usual
Read many books and watch many many many films
I will quite my Chinese teaching job at Wahsing Chinese School and am going to miss my students secretly
I will pack up my stuff
I am ordering an Olympus mju-I film camera and black&white films, for the “My June”. I thought I would get a Olympus mju-II but didn’t have much luck at ebay. muj-I is not a bad choice — top-quality len and robust functionalities
Book ticket back to HongKong
