苦短

"It's a sunday night, a night never to be trusted for emotions. So, a lot of you guys are gonna head home and either receive texts in the dead of night or actually compose them that are not going to be fully representative of how you feel for the rest of the day, for the rest of your week. Then you'll be reaching out, and if you're not reaching out you'll have someone else reaching out to you. And your friends, and your brain, and your morals, and your conscience have all trained you not to respond. But I'm gonna go against the grain and I'm going to suggest that the next time you get a message from the one you love, the only person in the world you love and can't talk to, that you respond. And you just write back when they ask you if you're up, and you're up, just write back, "Yup, come on over." Cause life is just too short to keep playing the game. Cause if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later. Otherwise, you'll be laying in bed with a Blackberry on your chest staring at it, doing nothing for the rest of the night, hoping that it goes, "PRRR, PRRR, PRRR." - John Mayer

也許人生太短,我們沒太多時間去舉棋不定;也許人生太短,我們從沒搞清楚自己想要甚麼;也許人生太短,我們都太怕被遺忘。

煩惱


To stay, or not to stay, that is the question;
Whether ‘tis money in the mind to suffer
The Times and Prospects of a long lasting career,
Or to take challenges against a mysterious future,
And by opposing them: to fly back, to leave
No more; and by a leave, to say goodbye

Adapted from 'Hamlet'

無聊想起的...

自序


赴英求學不經不覺九年,如無意外也進入了在英國的倒數階段。在這九年間踏遍了英國的大小城市,從那環境清幽的Warwick,到那書卷味極重的Durham和像個死城一樣的Thornaby,再到那繁華的倫敦。在Warwick的日子最長,卻是最瘋狂的,那年少輕狂的日子總是令人回味。 Durham的日子是快樂的,一大群人嘻嘻哈哈就過了三年。在倫敦的日子最短,但卻是我最喜歡的城市。無可否認,倫敦的人是比中部或北部的人較冷漠,也沒甚麼人情味。但倫敦對我來是個很特別的地方,在這經歷得太多太多…   

這個城市讓我長大,讓我瞭解到這世界的現實和殘酷,也讓我看到人生百態。除了經歷,我特別喜歡倫敦的文化, 倫敦的咖啡店,Seven Diles 裡頭的小店,Borough Market的特色食物更是我的摯愛。相比香港的商場,每家店舖也是一模一樣的大型連鎖店,倫敦的街道更顯得有自己的風格。 雖然現在還沒知道未來的去向,但也許我應該在我知道自己的去向前,好好的享受這個令我又愛又恨的地方!!






'Homebound’是從'Welcome Home’ 這首歌想出來的。每個人心裡都會有一個家,這個家住了跟你最親和你最牽掛的人。無論何時何地,你在外面有多辛苦,又或者你心情有多差,在你心底的深處,你也會想回去這個屬於你的這個家。每次在電話聽到父母跟我 '回家吧的時候,我也很窩心,因為我知道就算有天大的事,也有這個家在我背後支持我。回家的路上,你可能已拖著疲憊的身軀,也可能還扛著無窮的壓力,但回家總是快樂的,因為家是令你最舒服和最有安全感的地方,也是你的避難所,更是你最強的後盾。
