外面的世界很精彩

如果.爱 is a great movie whichever way you look at it. Of course there were great songs and there was 周迅. 外面的世界是精彩? 是無奈? |

外面的世界 – 齊秦 |

This is how Hong Kong would look like at night from 2,500 ft above ground through a fish-eye lens. Like this Little Planet effect picture?

I passed by Brooklyn so many times but never have a chance to explore its beauty. This picture was taken from the Brooklyn side of the bridge with Lower Manhattan in the background. I am still discovering the type of picture that leans itself better in square and in black & white. This is probably one of my very first of its kind.

月上柳梢頭, 人約黃昏後.

不知為什麼, 這張相給我一種孤獨冷清清的感覺. 也許這就是現在的我. 朋友, 這一刻的你在想什麼?
For whatever reason, this picture gives me a sense of loneliness and cold. Perhaps this is how I feel at this point of time. Dear friend, what is in your mind at this very moment?

The song is from the soap opera 蝸居. As same for these 經典台詞. The scary part is they are so real. 有錢能使鬼推磨,這話一點不假,4萬還是“你媽”,6萬就成了“咱媽”了!幸好這錢拿回來了,否則估計你嘴裡就是他媽de了! 老婆我錯了,我真的錯了,錯哪了?我哪都錯了,我不應該惹老婆大人生氣,老婆大人生氣一定是我的錯,我上上下下,里里外外,前前後後都錯了。 奶粉要進口的,尿布要名牌的。進出都要錢,你整個兒一雙向收費,比通信收費還狠啊! 做女人就得對自己好點,得吃好、喝好、玩好。一旦不小心出了意外,別的女人就能花咱省下的錢,住咱積攢的房,睡咱節省用的老公,還打咱心疼的娃。 你再也別信愛情,愛情那都是男人騙女人的把戲。什麼“把我的心交給你,你會永遠擁有我”,那都是一窮二白的窮光蛋的障眼術。他那是什麼都沒有了,就說點甜言蜜語。男人若真愛一個女人,先拍上一摞票子,再奉上一幢房子,將來即使沒有男人,你的身體還有著落。 女人活到我這個歲數,早該明白了男人都是一個樣。年輕時候需要墊腳石,中年時就需要強心針,到老了就要扶著拐棍。我活該自己做了墊腳石。 現在的社會太現實太殘酷了,沒有人再認為親情是重要的了。但我告訴你,凡是錢能解決的問題,就不是大問題。人這一輩子,有許多困擾是無法解決的,比方說生老病死,比方說眾叛親離,比方說勾心鬥角,比方說不再相愛。所有的這一切,都比房子啊,鈔票啊要嚴重得多。一個人可以背金錢的債,卻不能背感情的債。背金錢的債你有還清的希望,而背了感情的的債也許到死都會愧疚。 |

Finally decided to make Sushi at home this afternoon. Something I always wanted to learn and to do myself. From time to time I wonder why Sushi is so expensive in many places and it sure “looks” easy. It is actually not a bad experience considering it is my first time. The taste is pretty good. Presentation needs to be worked on. Also a bit too big for a single bite with too much rice. So what is needed to make good Sushi? Here is what I learned so far:
- The rice: absolutely important. The type and brand of rice, how much water, the type and mix of rice vinegar for mixing, and how long to cool off and how to prepare.
- The ingredients and tools: buy the best quality available. Yes this could add up if you are picky about your Sushi.
- The HOWs: this is the hardest part since the real tricks of the trade won’t be available from the Internet, books or how-to videos. Experience will take time and practice.
- Presentation is as important as the taste. Sushi cannot be good unless it both looks and tastes good.
Now I understand why Sushi can be expensive in many places.

Some may wonder why most of the songs that I posted were in Mandarin instead of Cantonese. I can’t explain either since it was certainly not intentional. Here is one of the Cantonese song that I like very much. 好聽但不要哭! |
