小時候其中一本接觸的漫畫書就是叮噹,老實一點,那時的中文字主要都是從叮噹裡學回來的。在電視上播放叮噹,以及後期的多啦A夢,也會回家準時收看。</div>

早幾年,在偶然的情況下聽到多啦A夢的日本配音員的聲音,是把很尖的女聲,就像是個小學生那般的聲線。相較之下,還是喜歡保全叔的聲音。可能是先入為主的關係,但是由保全叔的聲音配就非常適合不過。聲音雄渾有力,講解法寶用法時候有種令人相信真的有這種法寶的可信度;當見到老鼠而驚叫彈起,以及喜歡吃豆沙包時的情景,都令我覺得聲音很配角色。當時有一個想法:「冇保全叔嘅叮噹,仲叫叮噹嗎?」</div>

<br /></div>
I have been pursuing and exploring my philosophy (about frustration of life and culture) towards the art by the time I reach the senior year in Jockey Club Ti-I College, in where I studied Visual Art for 6 years. I don't really developed the ideas in school, for the frustration of being "academically" well-prepared to the college.<br />

<div>
The fact that "I am really tired to face my vision with my favorite music at that time" depicts in the painting. At that time, I was really stressed and always got struck. I was all alone to prepare and face the open examination. </div>

After getting into the college, I admit that I had been lazy to do my work. It was not until the 3d-class that I am willing to let my spirit back to my body, and do my work, for the teacher's grading keeps reminding me of TIC teachers. I know I have to make a better quality of work. So I have made the tea set with the Jamon Ham in my project. Maybe the teapot was missing to accompany with the set, it makes the tea set incomplete. It indicates that culture can be long-lasting if it is preserved well like making and storing jamon ham.<br />

In my project 2, another good idea but i am too ambitious to do my work and it actually leads to the failure of the craftsmanship in some parts. I like this idea about Chinese idiom-一毛不拔, illustrates somebody is unwilling to remove even a hair----indicates that somebody is self-centred and selfish. Although I am so disappointed about my project, I still insist on trying to make the craftsmanship better, because I remember what my art teacher said in secondary school: "Once you don't have time to re-do it and your artwork is crappy right before you hand in, you should attempt to find the best solution and try your best to fix it rather than abandon your artwork."<br />
Throughout this experience, I think that being an artist or designer requires to be calm enough to tackle the problem they are facing. They need to maintain good mental health and be smart on fixing process. In fact, the fixing craftsmanship process reminds me of the artwork is not really finished. It is part of making process.<br />

In project 3, it is more like a group project. My current teacher states that it is a combination of project 1 and 2. It is a site-specific installation art. I look forward to make an awesome piece after watching my former school's graduation exhibition. The Quest Of Art is an exhibition, of which my former school Jockey Club Ti-I College graduating students and alumni displayed their arts in JCACC. The location is near the SCAD, where I am studying. I took a look at the exhibition after school. (I forgot to take the photos, I try to find the artworks in the exhibition on the internet)<br />

When I step into the graduation class's gallery, I feel like going back home. The graduating classes have their works done well and they show the arts, which belongs to Hong Kong. Despite the different kinds of art media used, I can feel very strong sense of belonging. Their artworks show the complexity of anxiety, hopelessness, and stress. Some of them make the nice quality pieces, which have reached the level that catches the viewers' eyes. I am so proud of the students which TIC has, The exhibition shows the professionalism of the students in the art.<br />
What I think now is: "In what ways I am proud to say "I was proud of being TI-ian"?" The best answer is: make high quality of art.<br />

It might sound too late for me to notice her latest album, but it has never been late to comment it. I have known Del Rey's music since I was high school student. Most of my old schoolmates like her, especially her music videos. I remember once we discussed them, when we were having visual art lessons. We consider these videos as beautifully made art pieces. Although I have been rock n' roll fan, I like her music because of the interesting and relatively ancient style.<br />
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Nowadays, a year after the high school, my favorite genre has changed. I find out that the gothic, and power metal expresses different kinds of expressions (mostly negative) such as love, sad, anxiety, and pain. Some bands would talk about drug addiction, death, war, and domestic abuse. Some would tell a story in their albums. I can imagine many unusual moods and expressions in the metal. I have a space to feel and imagine the story, rather than just entertaining.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.nerdglow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lana-Del-Rey-Ultraviolence.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.nerdglow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Lana-Del-Rey-Ultraviolence.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Del Rey's album definitely gives enough space to me for the imagination of the story. Similar to the first album: when I was listening to the album, I thought I was watching the movies in the 1960s-70s. But this album is about a sad romantic story of a woman (in one person perspective) who faces domestic violence, but deeply falls in love with her boyfriend. The album uses the fabulous, ancient and psychedelic pop music as the background to accompany with Del Rey's singing to illustrate the girl's story. This combination indicates the girl's speechless loss to her boyfriend's attitude. Despite her boyfriend has done many things to hurt her, she doesn't mind and still love him.<br />

I know I didn't write about this film when I first watched it, and only until now have I decided to write about it. To be honest with you, I wasn't sure I had understood much from the first viewing, and I'm not proclaiming I understand a lot this second time around either. What I'm trying to say, is that although I picked up on a few connecting dots and could be able to see the whole picture clearer, I still failed to grasp much, nor could I learn to appreciate this film for what it might have.<br />

What drew me to this love story in the first place was the Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens and his upperclass gentlemanly accent. I knew that this film was based on the book written by one of Dan's teachers, Jonathan Smith (he wrote the screenplay as well). Although Dan's (and of course other actors') performance is compelling, the film itself is a bit of a letdown, even though there were some potentially moving moments in the film.<br />

Personally, the film has moments with neat lines that transform the moments into little climaxes, however, the buildup phases in-between two peaks are a bit weak, or maybe it takes too long to see the next little dramatic high point. If the story like this is to be turned into a feature film, I guess the buildup phases should be stronger, if not, then shorter.<br />
<br />
If not making this film shorter, then I think a more in-depth portrayal of the main characters is needed. For example, I'd love to see more about the romance between Gilbert and Florence. It is rather too short. It would also be nice if I can see the development of Florence's jealousy of AJ's other women. Some of the moments, where the characters start to get emotional, ended too soon.<br />

Still I've found some gems in the film--the music and the scenery. Throughout the film the music is utterly beautiful and brilliantly executed. It plays well with the film and the players deserve a round of applause (cue clapping). There are moments I was ready to get moved by the scene once the melancholy music set in, however, I couldn't because the scene was either not intense enough or it ended just too quick. The spectacular view of Lamorna, England opened my eye and I would like to sign up for a painting lesson just so I could go somewhere like Lamorna and paint the beauty out of it while I enjoy the view. I'd like to see the splashing waves, the shore, the colors of the sky, the grass swinging to the wind.<br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">電視劇產量不多的英龍華(心底裡仍然很不慣她的新名字,還是有點想叫她繪里香)總不免會將她的出名舊作《一リットルの涙》(港譯:一公升眼淚)拿出來比較。會有人會說她老了,加上負面新聞不斷,要再演一些純情女生的角色,對自己及觀眾會否太吃力?試想想,誰人過了十年不會老的,還是依舊的年輕貌美(古巨基迅速閃過)?況且這是她回歸電視劇界的首部作品,著眼位應該放在她的演技與角色的成長。</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">我認為兩者都是互相發揮作用才會吸引觀眾的眼球,英龍華在這一點上做的算不錯。從上一套劇到現在有十年時間,她成功演譯出十年前的少女心態,這樣才叫演技呀。還有就是角色從純真女生成長、蛻變,配上英龍華的演出令我覺得娛樂性十足。不過比起飾演女性時尚雜誌《FIRST CLASS》的主編<b>大澤 留美</b></span><span style="orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">(板谷由夏 飾)</span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">,英龍華的張力還差一點點。也許是這樣,兩者差別所做成的對比突顯兩個角色的特點:</span><b style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">留美</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">主編的外剛內柔,</span><b><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">千</span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><b>奈美</b></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">小姐的雞蛋殼心靈,在劇中都發揮著很重要的作用。所以她們兩個的角色亦是我在劇中特別喜愛的人物之二。</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">此劇另外兩大看點就是Mounting以及角色心底話。每集起首與結尾都會有Mounting排名排出最高權力的角色(類似權力階級)。Mounting的計算包括: 財力、樣貌、背景之類等作為考量因素。被Foul出局就會變成了Joker。每次結算都好期待看到</span><b><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">千</span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;"><b>奈美</b></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; widows: 2;">的新排名究竟是怎麼樣,也很想看到某些壞蛋角色早早掉進Joker行列。角色心底話真的令我更透徹地了解到角色的真心話。表面一套話,心裡的那一套還是比較誠實。兩者同步進行的表達方式雖然有點難follow,但是趣味十足。</span><br />

The interior of the diner is pretty dark and gloomy, but a sense of eerily gothic starts oozing out as the wooden table and highly decorated chairs made noticeable with the now feisty candle light placed in a beautiful orb-like candle jar.</div>

This cucumber drink was refreshing to the tonsils and sweet to the heart (cliché, I know). But really, I think this type of drinks are best suited for many occasions if you're not here to get drunk. Whether you're with your family, your friends, or special someone, you want a drink that boosts your mood. THIS, can be the accessory drink that you're looking for while you're indulging in the conversation with your buddies.</div>

Like (almost) everyone, I liked the bacon Brick Lane had to offer. But, alas, two slices of bacon simply couldn't satisfy my stomach. The rest on the big white plate, except the veggie, was quite good (I'm not into their green salad that much).</div>

It was a beautiful and cheerful evening where I got to spend some quality time with my friends. Eye contacts, secrets, and compliments were exchanged, and we went home happily knowing we had a full stomach and a rejuvenated mind.</div>

<b>The scariest day of my life</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>P.O.V of a man who is named "Sander Poe"</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<u>I was born in 1954. The day was my birthday. It was a rainy day. Crows unexpectedly showed up in my </u><u>house. That's the beginning of the story. Every o'clock the Crows make sound. So I check the Crows by </u><u>following their steps, hearing their sound, I discovered something mysterious. At that time, I heard some </u><u>weird sounds. I thought it was an alien. Ah, I remember the alien, the alien is from.... But this one is kind of </u><u>different from the others, it was so handsome. He was like he was bitten by somebody and he is like </u><u>zombie. I changed maybe I'm zombie.</u></div>
</div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My mind was full of depression, loss, anger and fear. What my eyes see is blue, grey, white and black. I can't see red yellow and skin colors. My nose can smell only blood and the saliva inside my mouth tastes like rotted meat. My body is not mine anymore. I was controlled. My action, my soul and a half of my consciousness are following somebody's rules. I go out crazily to eat and kill all the creature. As the more </div>
<div>
creatures I kill, more fear and other negative emotions I gain. My hands are tainted with more and more blood and my mind is further dominated by a thought.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I killed almost all the animals and human beings in town. I wasn't satisfied. I wanted more meat. I went to the river nearby the town. I saw a girl with long dark black curly hair who wears a black dress with a black transparent veil. She was healing a person who suffered from my teeth by singing a song in the riverside. She sings beautifully like an angel. Within a minute, that person with scars made by my teeth dies peacefully.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
She then turns around and looks at me, with a bitter face. She looks familiar. Her light blue eyes remind me of the girl I saw in several of my dreams. Her white skin recalls my scary childhood with the white thick snow which surrounded me. She comes forwards while I'm completely shocked by her appearance.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
"Sander Poe," She said with her soft and attractive voice and touches me with her cold left hands. I then grab her left hand with my bloody hands and place it on my right cheek, to feel her coldness.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Subconsciously, I know her name and who she is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"My lost Lenore." I said with a shattered tone, " my fallen angel"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I cried like a baby.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Please cure my pain, please satisfy what I need." I begged her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She smiles and places her right hand on my left cheek. She slowly stands up like wearing high heels and she kissed me with her soft lip.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many things are happening in my mind in the meantime. Her lips is kind of interaction. She tells me not to let fear takes over me and kill the creature futilely. When her lip leaves my lip. I am subconsciously afraid of Lenore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She is a beast and I want to kill her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't know if she knows me. "Donec tenebras coram me (Please follow me to face the darkness)." She said in Latin and she sings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As she sings, I feel myself start to fall asleep with the brightest light lasting in the world, with a very gentle breeze. Suddenly, there're growling voice from afar and crows craw. The ravens' red eyes stare at me. I'm scared and start to sweat. But after several seconds, what I see, hear and feel has gone. I seem to be going into other place. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I enter into the white scenery with a grey door. When I open the door, I see Lenore with a smiling face, I hug her with a mood filled with love and pleasant. And she places her head on my left shoulder without any fear and doubt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Finally, my scariest day has "gone".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<<End>></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blonde Redhead has been in the music biz for about 10 years, while SOHN debuted himself in 2012. "Will the crowd be any different, will they show some support for this SOHN dude?" Well, truth is, the crowd was just as stimulated by waves of mind-blowing beats. It was truly a night to remember. For those of you who didn't know or couldn't make it, you certainly have missed a great show in your life (yes you did, ha!).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first performing artist was SOHN and he did bring out the professional side of him to hype us all up. There was an air of uncanniness about the way he dressed and perform. A gray winter hat under a hood of the same color--gave me an impression of how a modern preacher of music would clad himself (If only music were nothing but a religion)--were all we had for the whole show. On top of it were a great voice, coupled with the dazzling light effects and bombarding sound system. Together they, or rather he, gave us something more than just a show/gig, it was something beyond, a sensation I'd say, and that is not an understatement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can't imagine how impressive and breath-taking to be standing in the front row, experiencing the heart-shaking sound waves and the flashing-while-sweeping cones of light. Sohn brought us tracks from his debut album, <i>Tremors</i>, which was only just released three months earlier.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I first heard of his name was when his song <i>Bloodflows </i>was featured as free music of the week on the iTunes store, which naturally led me to his YouTube page and got myself amazed by the simplistic and artistic ambiance. I guarantee you listening to his album with your dr. dre headset can't even be compared to a tenth of the magnitude of the blasting sound system right at the venue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They surely knew their craft and got right into the biz by bringing the audience a few tracks off their new album, then moved swiftly to the good ol' songs. We only have to stand straight and relax to have a great night. You can see the power of the female vocal was both absorbing and unleashing, thanks to the <i>hurrahing</i> and <i>body-moving</i> crowd.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The female vocal was like an anime character who could sing and play guitar, which was aurally fresh and visually chic. It was not an easy task to put a label on their music. It truly is one of a kind out there. Also, their passion for music is appreciated. Their attention to every musical detail was noticeable on stage and that was just remarkable, even the audience might not be able to tell the difference. They would check to see if they had the right notes before starting the performance. Such behavior from an experienced band like Blonde Redhead is admirable and should be respected. </span></div>

Even if you weren't a groupie, after this show, you might have to give it a second thought. Because, well, their songs are just really appealing to the ear. It was as if you were led by them to another world where no music had set foot there before.</span></div>

Today I want to share little bit about what kind of things inspire me to do my artwork or to write my script. I am kinda fond of listening music and I love atmospheric music. Atmospheric music help me to think of what I should draw and write. Goldfrapp and Epica are my favourite bands in terms of atmosphere. I used to talk about Epica for many time if you are my friends or family.<br />
Just take Epica as an example. I have drawn a story from what one of their songs "Deep Water Horizon" inspires me. Of course, the story hasn't ended.<br />

<br />
Songs also encourage me to write a script. I get so much ideas from songs for my script "Lawrence's Swiss" in most of the time. <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The film starring the <strike>maleficent</strike> magnificent Angelina Joile deserves every credit I have in my pocket. It was an amazing experience to see the world of Sleeping Beauty through the villain, Maleficent's perspective. In this version, a large portion of the film was dedicated to the backstory of the evil-as-we-know-in-Sleeping-Beauty Maleficent, from when she was still a little fairy. She was actually an adorable and loving fairy who continues to be so when she grows up. Yes, until the day comes when she changes. What prompts her transformation? The betrayal of the mortal she has been in love with for many years. Her transformation into the wicked witch paves the way for a definite revenge.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before you walk into the theater, you should be well-prepared what to look for in the movie. I have come up with the following list in case you need it (you're welcome):</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Maleficent's voice.</b> Jolie said she turned to a lot of British theater actresses' performances to learn how she could use her voice to give a certain depth to her role.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Maleficent's dazzling contact lenses.</b> Be ready to get your eyes glue to the screen whenever Jolie's close-up shot is on the screen. It would be a strenuous process to take your eyes off hers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Maleficent's horns.</b> Through the filming process, Jolie had to use horns of different weights because some of them was too heavy and might have the potentiality to break her neck. Can you spot them all?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Special effects.</b> Duh.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The 3 fairy godmothers and Princess Aurora.</b> You can't do a Sleeping Beauty film without them, can you? <i>No, you can't.</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The Lana Del Rey song at the end credits.</b> Pretty much one of the biggest highlights of the film. Be sure to stay longer for the song after the film ends and as the closing credits start rolling.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>There's a twist.</b> There's always a twist, a turn, a detour, or an unexpected event that unveils itself after...<i>well, well</i>, I'll leave you to find that out.</span></li>

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maleficent Is Jolie's Childhood Favorite</span></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jolie spoke of her fondness for the malicious character. "Since I was a little girl, Maleficent was always my favorite," Jolie said. "I was terrified of her, but I was also drawn to her. I wanted to know more about her. She had this elegance and grace, yet she was wonderfully, deliciously cruel." Through this film, we get to see another side of the villain in-depth that proves she might not be as atrocious as we thought she was.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jolie Handpicked Lana Del Rey To Sing "Once Upon A Dream"</span></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jolie was reportedly the mastermind behind choosing Lana Del Rey to sing the main theme for the film. And it was one of the greatest things about this film. The song self-evidently crowns itself one of the major STARS prior to the release, as it was used in various little revealing trailers of the film as a marketing campaign. The song itself is a dark rendition of the song featured in the original Sleeping Beauty animation. Del Rey's mysterious and alluring low register place a layer of dark tone over the originally-joyful-and-spirited song and it plays a huge part in bringing the audience into the world of Maleficent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jolie and Pitt's daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, was cast as young Aurora, and there's a reason to it. Jolie admitted that after her appearance scared little kids at the set when she was in costume, with one kid saying to his mom, "Mommy, please get the mean witch to stop talking to me." Her daughter was the only kid who wasn't scared of her. So there you have it.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Possible Sequel?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is reported that, during her trip to Shanghai, Jolie spoke of the possibility of reprising her role. “It’s kind of hard to top her, she was pretty fun. Maybe I’ll get the chance to play her again,” said Jolie. So, who knows? Maybe we'll get to see her in costume again in a few year's time. Meanwhile, we can wait for the release of DVD and blu-ray, or, the arrival of Halloween, where, I'm sure, dressing as Maleficent will be a big hit around the neighborhood.</span><br />

首先簡述一下這支筆的資料。當時架上有另一支比這支筆尖粗的毛筆,我有點擔心出太多墨會弄穿紙張,所以最後選了這一支「極細」,寫出來的字體的粗幼度大慨(根據包裝上的介紹)是0.3~1.5mm。因此,即使大力壓出墨來,寫出來的字也不會過粗。我也比較喜歡這種粗幼度的字體,簡簡單單,用來練寫字真是不錯。如果是要追求有澎湃氣勢感的字體,那我覺得可以試一試比較粗身筆尖的那一款。<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
我這位毛筆新手,用了一會兒這支筆都有幾點想分享給其他還未接觸,卻又對這類毛筆頗有興趣的朋友們:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(一) 「滲墨問題」: 我不知道這是不是正常的情況,但是有點滲墨的狀況發生。筆嘴有多餘的墨,在你把筆拔出來的時候,有些墨會沾上筆蓋邊緣,甚至沾到筆身透明部份。只要一不留神,便會把自己的手指也一同弄污。因此要小心注意。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(二) 「筆蓋,蓋不蓋?」: 很多時候我們用原子筆就是慣了把筆蓋都蓋到筆身上,為的就是方便自己,為免掉失了筆蓋。可是剛剛提到了的滲墨情況,就是會弄污筆蓋內壁。這個時候再把它蓋上筆身,你要是個外觀主義者,恐怕這樣弄一弄,什麼心情都會給搞垮了。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(三) 「大力一點」: 應該是新筆的原故,墨水要流到筆咀再寫出字來要一點力。我開始寫的時間會感覺墨水不太夠,直到寫多幾隻字,加上自己用多一點點力壓寫字,這才開始寫出了令人看了會賞心悅目的字體呀。只要捉到那個力度便可以寫出「理」想字體了,這個問題不大。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
總括來說,雖然暫時不知道這支筆壽命有多久,不過HK $19 一支筆用來寫字的感覺真的不錯。這個時候我還萌生了想寫書信給朋友看,我是傻的嗎?還有人寫書信嗎? 不過說真的,我很喜歡閒時練字,練出一手端正的字體滿足感可會很大。</div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr">
我發覺,尤其在香港,愈來愈難嘗試「慢活」。人愈大,要處理的事情便愈多。工作多得像是透不過氣似的。可是慢慢覺得,是時候要學會去減慢生活節奏,享受每分每秒。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
平時即使是上學,又或是出外用餐,都總會「走」過不停。不是和別人競賽,只是覺得一分一秒都不能失去,要再快一點才行,所以就會快行多幾步。時間久了,遇上人多便會自然地迅速使出「左穿入插」神功。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
可是唯一令我停下來的時候,就是在等小巴回家的那段時間。快則5分鐘,慢則10多分鐘。其實實際上也不算等得長,只不過內心會將時間無限伸延。慢慢由不耐煩變成焦急、心煩、氣燥,有點兒想飲杯凍飲降降溫。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
這天,我沒有這些感覺。人成長了(其實沒有長大很多),覺得這沒什麼大不了,最重要調整自己心理。等車罷了,又不是什麼大件事。以前會聽音樂,把自己掉進另一個國度,讓自己分神,讓時間流走得快一點。這天,我嘗試除下耳筒,聽聽身邊侯車乘客的對話,也順度練習觀察別人的技巧。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
由於自己想學好寫作,學好如何更準確地表達自己,希望能夠「我手寫我心」的境界,所以觀察別人的行為、談吐會成為我非常空閒時的一種動作。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
五分鐘說長不長,說短也不短。不過藉此可以知道不同人的說話方式,從而幫到自己描寫人物。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
**</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
慢活,真的很難。不過每天抽五分鐘慢下來倒是可以的。</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
在五分鐘裡,我慢慢想到很多東西,其中一樣就是我前兩天交的一份論文。</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
雖然沒有實證,但是我覺得學生基本上在做功課時就最能夠體現「慢活」(哈哈!)。慢慢做資料搜集,慢慢寫一兩百字,到deadline前兩天還要差個二、三千字。(呀…那不是「慢活」,是「不想活了」才對。)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
照我說呀,我教授才最要懂得「慢活」的真諦呀。基本上沒有遇到個教授會準時到學系大樓收論文,而我又知道自己未必趕得上準時交功課,所以已經帶好電腦到學校圖書館。遇到同學們正前往交功課,自己就在圖書館默默耕耘。十五分鐘之後見到她們前來告訴我教授正在收功課。天呀,為什麼那麼準時呀? 教授求妳不要那麼趕好嗎?學習一下「慢活」的樂趣吧! 最後當然遲交了,遲了三小時……</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
**</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
現在還剩下一份功課,這份還比較輕鬆,是寫個科幻故事。我已經到達了最後修改校對的階段了,看看還能加一些什麼來改善可讀性及趣味性。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
當我完了這份功課,便要全程投入找工作的生活了。又要開展另一個充滿挑戰的人生階段。當然我不會就這樣只會工作和工作,希望也能夠找出時間來增值和裝備自己。首先要考好日文插班的入學試(應該就問題不大,哈哈),還有準備好溫習法文,再報讀法文班。</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
當然不少得要多一點閱讀,家裡真的是有太多書,因為書展價錢平,自己又有興趣,所以買了一大堆。是時候要清一清我的閱讀書單了……</div>

最近在看高銘寫的<<瘋子的世界>>,在書封有句介紹正好總括此書: 「…精神病人的訪談手記」,閱讀幾個章節後,漸漸了解到有時候我們眼中的「瘋子」,有機會是一個對我們所熟識的世界觀有另一種解讀的人,也有可能我們才是不正常的那一群人,只是不正常的人佔大多數而已。這本書啟發我嘗試用不同的「眼睛」和「腦袋」閱讀世界,可能從中會獲得一些新的靈感也不定。這天我決定一個又一個的5分鐘出來慢讀這本書,享受「慢活」的樂趣。</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It feels like a year has passed that I haven't really spent some quality time to care and nurture this little bloggie for a long while now.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know, I know. I let myself down and let the promise fall flat and become dry like a raisin. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After things got busy at school, I hadn't had time to really write to post on this blog. And, so nice and considerate of me, that I also spared (the very few of) you the time to read my sporadic disgruntle towards the assignment workload and how hard it is to write a paper, not to say it should be of some level of decent quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year has been a love-hate one for me. Love it because I have made quite a few friends, I love spending time with them. We would share stories in our life, collaborate on a creative project, listen and console each other, etc. It's been great knowing them. Well, I hate it because this year has slipped away just too soon. I am not ready yet to part with this incredible year, with my awesome friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the bright side, though, I get some free time finally to put my ideas down. Perhaps, I am going to start some new projects soon. But a huge collaboration is now in the works, shhh, I can't tell you more than that. I seriously have no idea when it's gonna see the light of day, but it'll be a fun one to write with my dearest "writer" buddies. (Ah, a gush of superior feeling.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh, and I certainly won't forget you, Ah Mai (</span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mai</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> means </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rice, </i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">米</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in Chinese). You were always on your best behavior (even better than my Water) when we came to enjoy our tea time. And that tea time is certainly the best thing on earth. I'm not sure when I will be able to sit back and relax a cup of nice lemon tea and a thick, multi-layered club sandwich, but I'm sure I'll be back whenever I am free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am thankful for so many things that have happened to me this year. One of them is that I got a shot at writing a sci-fi short story. Well, even though I haven't submitted the final draft yet, I can say I have doubts about it because I have to write at least 10,000 words under a month or two. And that means I have to write more and think less. I don't like that, especially I'm so new at this. My previous story with a considerable length is only of 3000 words. On finishing the first draft, I feel like there's a lot that I lack in my writing. But that's a good thing, at least I know that I can write this long and I know what I'm good at and what else I need to put on my improve-next-time checklist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I can't wait to spend time on writing more. There are many ideas up in my stock that I have not developed yet. Also, I can't wait to get a job. This will be a whole new experience and a new page for me. I hope that I can keep this blog running, and contribute to other blogs as well. There are literally many many things I need/want to learn. On the very top of the list are languages (French and Japanese) and computer software (Photoshop and After Effects).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's to hope for a better and brighter future, to me, and to those who persevere to reach the end of this blog post. Until next time. :) -K</span><br />

It is exhausting. In these three months, I decide to write about life journal, which is going to be about my views on Arts and Music(SYMPHONIC METAL!!). It may include my trip which I am planning to visit with my family. For this volume, I would like to talk about my photos first. I am not really photography-majored student but have strong passion on it. I either emphasized the focus by playing with value or forming composition with diagonal line. Diagonal line often gives a sense of movement and tension feeling while value can somewhat help me to create the isolation or center of interest. Just do some analysis for my composition in my first journal. I personally reckon that I myself need to be concise about what I am doing in my artwork before people know my works.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs-q7VTpK-RfF9vsBhXIEl2Ov_oZ_vGqJLACWjub6AO8_L3L76YTeRDlxmmXoNpJlBeR7Y3PyKPvgpidRBv9hED1L0utQt5RT8iZq5HO69s3M9ByXlw0LoRg4g86ppMx2tJnY-IWsyp9Jb/s1600/1052831_10200649086924651_1105829209_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs-q7VTpK-RfF9vsBhXIEl2Ov_oZ_vGqJLACWjub6AO8_L3L76YTeRDlxmmXoNpJlBeR7Y3PyKPvgpidRBv9hED1L0utQt5RT8iZq5HO69s3M9ByXlw0LoRg4g86ppMx2tJnY-IWsyp9Jb/s1600/1052831_10200649086924651_1105829209_o.jpg" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Low-key value of the bird shows that it is a focus(and center of interest), while its surroundings are relatively high-key. Emphasis of isolation can be seen in this picture. The right-hand up corner of "low-key" helps to balance the value of this picture(LOW-HIGH-LOW). My message is Loneness of walking/ flying alone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Line dominates while value subordinates in this picture. I do admit that I have used so many diagonal lines in this picture. Even the horizon is diagonal, maybe I am too stressful at that time due to that evil open examination. Progressive rhythm of value from low-key to high-key is also diagonal. Maybe I am a bit insane at that time. Unity of diagonal line.BTW, RULE OF THIRDS and ONE-POINT PERSPECTIVE. My message is to express girl's feeling and passion on her first-try alcohol but this "first-try) also indicates she is going to face the darkness of competitive society. I consider this as my best photography within my 19.<br />

<br />
B&W. Unity of diagonal line again. Even the dignity of tree(the vertical line) has been "exaggerated" to emphasize the diagonal line. "When the foundation quivers, dignity and dependent of human destroys. They all out of control."-----my message. One of my best(yet not better than the previous one) and reminds me of a song named "Feint"<= piano version is really good.<br />

Taken in Guam. Seems like contrast, seems like balance. Even myself, I get lose to describe value of this picture. It is blur to learn whether it is contrast or balance. But I would say it is a contrast. Use of line is noticeable to emphasize the butterfly. There is another balance in the down left-hand corner to the center. It just depicts the butterfly is playing with leaves (not playing with flowers?). Maybe it is kind of surrealism but it is a fact.<br />

I am not very good at landscape photo-taking. Complementary color and contrast of warm and cool. No specific message and it is kind of depiction of landscape.<br />

<br />
Atmospheric perspective and positioning. High-key and low-key color and alternating rhythm. The center of interest is brought out by the emphasis of space. Just a landscape.<br />
<br />

<br />
Contrast of value and also contrast of warm and cool. It is diagonally progressive from warm to cool. Do you know why the center is with warm color? It is a toilet. Home-feeling and mysterious, I admire the interior architect very much when I take this picture.<br />

<br />
我現在就讀於並不是本地大專而是一間美國藝術大學。由於英語能力有限, 我被安排至英文特別班裡上課。每天聆聽, 寫作和閱讀都是英文, 別無其他。在日積月累的課堂下, 我對英文生厭, 反之對中文充溢著濃厚的興趣。我覺得中文在我生命中很是重要, 是一種不可缺少的藝術。每天上課的休息時間, 我會看著韓寒的散文。回家後都會開著電腦一邊聆聽喜歡的音樂, 一邊閱讀金庸的作品。我對中文的倏然熱愛, 使親朋戚友感到疑惑: 一個對中文反感的女生, 為何會愛上看中國文學甚至中文寫作?<br />
<br />
一切結果乃有其起因, 尤其是對一樣曾經並不討好自己的東西產生正面情感 。起初我以為中文只是殺人不眨眼的劊子手, 把所有英文專長但中文平庸的學生斬首, 使刑場充斥著血腥味, 彷如致身於滿缸紅的戰場上。但其實它不是如眾所想, 這個劊子手都有感性的一面。<br />
<br />
中文這門學問, 比英文這個國際通用的語言更加多元化。單是成語疊詞造句, 之乎者也那些古代用詞, 比英語古文白話文複雜得多。簡單來說, 一個英文生字在中國裡可能有四個不同的詞語或成語來解釋其定義。有的簡潔易明, 有的則深不可測。例如stingy這個形容詞, 在中文裡除吝嗇之外, 一毛不拔, 斤斤計較和錙銖必較也可以用來詮釋此詞。在個人立場來看, 中文的成語或古文, 充溢著藝術性。金庸描述其書中的人物時心思熟慮, 栩栩如生, 讓人看得如痴如碎。經典的例子最不過就是形容<<倚天層龍記>>的女主角趙敏的氣質:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
美麗無比,嬌美無限,猶似曉露中的鮮花;巧笑嫣然,美目流盼,如花似玉,花容月貌,當真是觀世音菩薩下凡;十分美麗之中,更帶三分英氣、三分豪態,同時雍容華貴,自有一副端嚴之致,令人肅然起敬,不敢逼視;瀟灑飄逸,容光照人,風華絕代,美艷傾城,靈頑活潑,俏而不俗。華美絕世又嬌憐楚楚,一身柔馨恬靜又超凡傾世之氣韻,讓人失足沉溺在她那如夢似幻的仙境之中。</blockquote>
<br />
儘管趙敏被形容至「觀世音菩薩下凡」有點誇張, 但唯美與淒美並存於這段文字, 文筆尖銳, 讀者看完過後都應該佩服金庸先生有神般想像創作力。中文彷若一件文藝復興時期的雕塑, 極其真實且袖摺分明, 仔細無比, 看似要廢寢忘食才能完成的藝術品, 絕非閒等之輩能夠掌握領悟....<br />

<b>Troubling Thoughts</b><br />
<br />
Every book<br />
tells me that<br />
the more intelligent you are,<br />
the more troubles you'll get.<br />
<br />
I incline to not agree.<br />
Smart people,<br />
especially the intelligent of them all,<br />
should have less troubles troubling them.<br />
<br />
They have seen more, known more, learned more, and thought more<br />
than any of us combined.<br />
They are able to decompose the troublest trouble,<br />
so why would they have more trouble?<br />
<br />
The least intelligent people would not have trouble,<br />
or not as many as others,<br />
since their mind have no room<br />
for any troubling thoughts.<br />
<br />
It is the people in between<br />
that suffer the most.<br />
They are capable of identifying troubles,<br />
yet they are no near at a place that gives them power to tackle them.<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
This will be a problem that will live with the eternity,<br />
as long as the human race still stands tall,<br />
troubles will come after us all.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02335202480782898565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167670570092322606.post-87671112152392675032013-10-14T19:03:00.003+08:002013-10-14T19:03:32.739+08:00[Day 26] 365 Days of Poetry Writing<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<b>Challenging The Bottom Line</b><br />

<b>Mind Reader</b><br />

I am not a mind reader, my friend.<br />
If I were (which I am not),<br />
I would have made a thousand friends<br />
on Facebook.<br />
<br />
I should make it clear<br />
that implication is not my forte.<br />
If I am that good at picking up traces of implication,<br />
I should be a modern day Sherlock Holmes.<br />
<br />
I do not pick up signals,<br />
like a robot.<br />
Please suit yourself with a<br />
radar or radio.<br />
<br />
I do not do hints.<br />
What I do do is direct communication.<br />
<br />
I prefer clarity.<br />
I prefer sincerity.<br />
<br />
I implore in advance:<br />
Please do not expect much,<br />
for you will end up losing all that you hope for.<br />
<br />
It might be me,<br />
it could be you.<br />
It is both of us.<br />
<br />
We are two,<br />
and never one,<br />
so keep that in mind.<br />
<br />
What makes us think so differently?<br />
The role that we are playing in the society?<br />

I am not seeking answers.<br />
Not from someone<br />

<b>Misunderstanding</b><br />
<br />
Misunderstanding can lead to a disaster.<br />
One disaster is enough for the mind,<br />
I dare not think that I am<br />
able to handle more than one.<br />
<br />
It happens with the lack of clarification.<br />
No one would know it.<br />
At least we should try to make<br />
ourselves very clear,<br />
clear to the bones.<br />
<br />
When a disaster steps in,<br />
no one should fight back,<br />
because no one will leave a winner.<br />
Both sides are bound to be hurt.<br />

Shut up and try to fix this mess.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">that the thing is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">full of honesty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I gave it up to the bottom of the sea,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">where</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">no one will ever find them or seek</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">treasure from it.</span></div>
