他和她的故事（一）

就在那年的六月，他和她踫上了。

他從加拿大回來過暑假；而她正好完成大學第二年的課程，也在放暑假。

那年他和她的小學同學正準備一次聚會，機緣巧合下他被選中做聯絡的工作。結果，他打了電話給這位從小學畢業後也沒見面過的她。

他的名字是Billy，她是Cecilia。

Billy在小學的時候是胖子，現在的他...，還是先賣個關子。他的兒時玩伴全是班裏、校裏的「壞份子」，當然他也不是一個好孩子。他的每一日就是每一個欺凌同學的學生所做的－－聯群結黨在操場上大搖大擺地走著，還不時唬嚇周遭的學生。

Cecilia是班長。她所以被選為班長，也許只是因為她非常文靜。亦由於她很愛靜，她和其他同學都沒有談上什麼的。對於頑皮的同學，她不會太理會。可是，她心裏經常埋怨老師將她編與這些同學一起坐，害她不能集中精神上課。

Billy與Cecilia在小學最後的兩年，奇怪地，都沒有被編在一起。

就在那麼近的時候及環境，他和她始終沒有走在一起。他和她對對方的印象也隨著九年的歲月而慢慢地沖淡。

而就在那年暑假，他和她卻走在一起。

Step into the world of chaos - 'The Da Vinci Code'

Even if critics, friends and family (my mom, especially) attemtped to dissuade me from watching the controversial Ron Howard's movie (perhaps, including Dan Brown's top-of-the-list best-selling book), I kept my mind (also, my eyes) open to all goods and bads since I couldn't afford to miss one of Tom Hanks's.
I was amazed by how Howard actually presented all the 'codes' (symbols, that's what most people refer to according to symbology or semiotics) with excellent visual effects - especially like the ones of the mysterious anagrams to be solved by Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and of the different 'hidden' images of 'The Last Supper' done by Sir Leigh Teabing (Ian Mckellen - my favourite 'Gandalf' in Lord of the Rings!). Obviously, those visual effects and 'codes' draw me once again to the interesting study of semiotics, which I found most difficult to be handled when I was still studying Cultural Studies at Chinese University.
Having no bias to the movie beforehand, I quite enjoyed myself 'exhausting' my brain with all sorts of questioning, thinking, guessing, rethinking and doubting. A wonderful experience, after all.
There's no doubt a disappointment to the fans of the actors and actress/es in the movie coz they didn't stand out at all. A rather poor ending with the discovery of the actual 'tomb' of Mary Magdalene (the most important role being questioned in this story) as in the Louvre (absolutely unconvincing).
However, if you haven't yet read the book and see yourself as somewhat 'unbiased', it's worth it to get a feel of the world of chaos - digging into the root of christianity and CHALLENGING the history. Don't go if you don't see it as FICTION.

'Proof'

You should have trusted me earlier - it's too late now.

從不知

我就過著我的每一天

開開心心的回到學校
糊里糊塗的上過課堂
小息時走來走去玩耍
跟你跟他談天與說地

我們的喜與愁
有些一起分享
也有一些悄悄地收起
在那短暫又長久的記憶

在那其中的'每一天'
我抬頭看見你
飛翔在那蔚藍空中
那掛在面上的笑臉
剎那間
泊在那血紅之中

現在
我才驚覺
原來記憶是空白的

A Melancholic ME...

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What Temperament Are You?

What type of writer should I be?

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from. And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi. Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics... Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

領悟

人終歸是要靠自己

A Memorale Song

Walk in the world for me

The time has come for me to say goodbye
No sad farewells will we share
For you will live within me
And I will live in you
No words can say how much we care

Chorus:
Walk in the world for me
Sing a happy melody
And keep my memory not far away
May you find that life will bring
All the best of everything
Take special care of you for me today

We've walked together on the dusty roads of life
But kept our eyes upon a star
We've laughed at the little things
And cried along the way
I've come to know the friends you are

To stay or to leave...

I know I don't want to be there for long
I know I would leave very soon
Yet I know I want to stay for you
But he may want me to leave
And in fact, I do want to leave...
