长大

近来,收拾东西,还替妹妹的房上了漆。也意外发现我小时候的passport-sized照片。小时候脸圆,还挺可爱的。再整理一下照片,一些思绪。也小小回想了过去。突然心血来潮想弄个长大过程的‘集照整理’。但有心无力,只随意弄了一个photo montage

挺想见一见我14岁时暗恋的那女生。祝福她事事顺利。



图解:第一眼看去,应该有人想问我自己的montage为何那么多粉红色。其实,有几个男的人形,看得出是小孩少年青年的成长过程,所以有我的照片。成长过程当然是有许多人的陪伴,但我想太多种人形会造成montage潦乱。再想,我是近来想见那女生。所以干脆放上几个女生人形。配上粉红色,也比较生动。照片中,看那楼下的小男孩和那楼上的小女孩,都举起手,想碰触什么的,看着彼此。而那小男孩,和另一个小女孩背对背的。都有点幻。或许可以凑出故事。其实,有点像一路上,遇到的不同的女生。
构思如有雷同,纯属巧合。

物色

前数天,有到One-Utama购物中心闲逛,也物色一下西装外套。朋友都没空陪,我虽然单独闲逛,也小饰了自己。自己理个发,内黑背心,外白长袖领衫,牛仔裤,出街布鞋。务求不土气,虽不完美,也不太逊色了。毕竟,一个人时,才想尽力让自己散发‘一个人的精彩’,不想太落魄。是不是掩饰,见人而异,毕竟有点唏嘘。

走着走着,路过一个courtyard,Sony Ericson 在那摆展示及询问亭,有一些男工作人员和美眉。工作人员看来挺pro;美眉都是脸上粉妆穿短裙的少女。我路过时,本以为男工作人员会向我推销新产品,结果他们看来是等待女顾客的。美眉此时向我趋近,手举一个新款手提电话,并以流利英语向我介绍产品功能。有点意外。由于环境挺吵,她提声说话时还是需要趋前上半身靠近我。是不是商业手法,我也不介意。确是挺媚的女生。她的粉脸似乎靠得近了,似乎感觉到吐气香兰,还不时眨着那双大大的眼睛。黑色眼影下的眼睛看来比较深邃,眨着眨着,长长的睫毛很抢眼,或许是假睫毛,不便久视也不敢确定。我笑着小谈询问了一点,然后拿了相关册本。谢了,步开。现在的推销越来越有水准了,有品位了,亲切友好,交流顺畅,不过分死缠烂打。我想,似乎更应该以知识装备自己,才能抗拒了。

后来,进入G2000,试外套。拿了一间米褐色的。由于只是外套,所以在试衣室外试衣。这时候,同排第二间试衣室,也是唯一一间occupied的室内穿来一个女人讲电话的声音。声音是有点沙哑磁性,又有点大辣辣超有信心的。她说完电话,突然走了出来。我眼前登时雪亮。果然有点像是个女强人,再看一眼却觉得像个模特儿。大约比我年长三两年吧。她看了我一眼,就在那里转转身,试衣室外的连带镜子反来映射的都是我们俩在试衣的样子。总之,身周大约有270度范围都能看到她,而她身转360度都能看到我。试衣室外全白的设计,也不比全白打扮的她耀眼。合身的衣装不啬地衬托她修长的身材。上身纯白西式衣衫,黑色内衣大方衬托;下身也是纯白的长裤,一样内穿黑色内裤。这种布质的白是要展示自发信心的白吧,不是每个人穿得好看。那黑白让我看出的不是诱惑美,而是信心美而心感悸动。她豪不别扭地轻摆照镜。我惊讶的眼神或许已被镜子反映了,我不想失仪态丢人,拉一拉身上试穿着的西装外套,看一看可有收后腰,衣袖长度。。心想尽快逃离重灾震撼区。。她突然转身,看我一眼,用流利英语对我说话。“你这样穿来挺好看啊”。我受宠若惊,只好说谢谢。去了六分魂魄的我,其实想说她那才是绝伦的美呢。却话到喉舌间,呼吸困难了。然后她又问“你试这,是要出席什么活动么any events?还是,买来爽一爽for fun?”我呆了一会儿,心想是为将来出席什么的,此时却没有为什么理由而要买。所以随后答道“玩一玩而已 for fun。也只试一试啦。。。”。她笑着说“是了,钱太多吧,拿来到处花一花”。爆汗。我无语。对她笑了笑。谈话时距离较近。她肤色不是白里透红,却薄嫩得我不难看见她额头发丝边皮肤底下的细幼青筋血管。我踏出那衣店时,她还在试不同的衣,她是买定了。我步出时不免暗骂自己连说话都说不好,口才是无疑的烂的。有机会要修养。

以前我觉得一些女生喜欢安静的男生。现在接触了一些人,完全否定这理念了。

不管怎样,算是蛮特别的一次闲逛却不闲的经验吧。

M'sian Shopping Culture and Environment

This is the first english post in this blog that i have always been treating it as chinese blog. Anyhow, i decided to type english for this post as chinese could be a bit tougher to elaborate the contents. And, this is a blog of my NewAge, while NewAge is not yet completely defined and so its border is still yet rather vague. So, you wouldnt mind it allows some slippage of contents from any pre-concept, right?

Before this, i should say sorry for inability to put on any relevant photo alongside description for this post. This apparently makes harder for what i intend to write and so maybe i should just post a short one instead of an 'ambitiously' long one.

Couple days before, with my father, i managed to have a walk in the Ikano-Ikea-Cinileisure-Curve in Damansara without idling in the nearby shopping mall One-Utama. I name these 4 complexes together as they are actually interlinked by different means: bridge, terrace, promenade, etc. The shopping area was designed and planned with interesting concepts, that look to be catching up with Singapore or some western countries. Here, beside shopping, concept of idling is quite promoted with shopping-arcade-like design. It has quite some extensions: the street, the walk, the piazza, the terrace, outdoor, indoor, that offer variety of multiple shopping-eating-idling experience.

Here, is quite an ideal place to house the ‘flaneur’ culture of citizens that are lack of comfortable green recreational places. Some feel of promenading can be sensed maybe, with the flow of crowds, the still of goods, and some awareness of weather change. Nevertheless, some other people from rural areas actually may find hard to get used with it, while some even get lost themselves in these complexes. Why? Maybe it just has too many extensions, too much demarcation and zonings for functions accordingly. And so spontaneousity of users’ experiences is limited in a sense that ‘it is better to buy shirts in that block, better to have Eastern food at another wing, Western food on the opposite, etc. This situation also actually ‘sanitizes’ the customer crowds to certain groups at particular space. Therefore, we can see that some fashion shops are not opened yet, simply because the overall concept still hard to sustain the viability of those many suites in proportions to customers and visitors. The dilemma of these complexes planning is the contradiction between the effort of offering multiple experiences and the actual situation that fragmentizes the user group.

On the other hand, Mid Valley shopping mall stands undoubtedly as a successful mall to house all the commodities, specialist services and people. It generates money. Everything housed in this shopping mall, like fashions, cinema, health care, markets, food courts, digital, etc. I can hardly hear people complaining about getting lost in this mall. It has many choices for different classes of people, where a more ‘nation-wide’ welcoming is more possible in some sense. Despite its success on consumption and consumerism, it maybe has less interesting spaces to explore and idle, less offer of ‘wonder and wander’ spirit. Anyway, its ideal location to be reached by different spots in Kuala Lumpur makes it strategically irresistible and maybe ‘irreplaceable’. It is a pure shopping mall, a casing that shelter commodities and consumers, within a block that shield people from weather. Other than storm, sunny day, etc, maybe only earthquake will be sensible when you are inside it.

We have also another famous shopping mall at the bottom of Petronas Twin Towers—Suria KLCC. Apparently, there are more foreigners with higher consumption level. There seems to be a dramatic growth of rich Middle East visitors to go shopping. Suria KLCC is considered a high-end shopping area, where all high class fashion and design could be found. However, I always see its dilemma of identity crisis and uncertainty in getting user (consumer) group or class. It is supposed to be a place for the nation, yet many people of this country seldom go there for shopping because of affordability problem. Rich people (including foreign visitors) are still minority in this country. Or, maybe a display for the minority always appears to be much more dominant than the norm?

More specifically, this post title could be "the shopping culture and environment of KL citizens". But KL is the capital, and more people are Kuala-Lumpurized.

花儿

我闻到花香
我知道那不是花
却是花儿般的妳

我轻轻地拥抱妳
只怕霸道激情的拥抱会弄伤那纤弱的花枝

我想吻一吻妳
更怕脆弱的花瓣禁不起火热的吻

所以 现在 我远远静望着

放大镜

大家应该看一看光良新曲《i am who i am》的mv,一级棒。不同的人为不同的生活活着奋斗着,所以这世界色彩缤纷。撇开这。。。

我想,我有时是一个放大镜。一些朋友看我写过的文字。有些人毫不犹豫地认为一些我所写的是虚拟的。其实多数都是真的。只是,或许我用的词对一些看的人而言是言不由衷,或夸张了。其实对我而言,那些文字所承载的情感记事在当时当刻都是真的。只是,后来再回顾,自己也不免觉得莫名其妙,或许因为只属那一时分的情感已逝。

或许,读者可以说我是放大镜,又或扩音机,或amplifier等。因为。。。我虽然不算是明察秋毫,却从平凡中放大看细腻。我虽然是无趣不善交际的人,却从众人中的平淡摸索那孤独感觉的趣味。所以,有时我爱观察四周。或许,我是孤独的。而我观察到令我心动的事物人物,我通常都会描述当时心情。或许,我描述的时候,添加色彩,却是我心里对那事物人物感觉到的情感冲击,或我‘心眼’看到的色彩。所以色彩感觉,本就因人而异。而,不少人也或许误解我的为人或思绪或想法。

成人之后,当然不能再毫无禁忌地接受或表达了。
“。。。然而横冲直撞,被误解被骗,是否成人的世界背后总有残缺。。。”-燕姿《天黑黑》

以前,我无知也甚无礼地喜欢,将所看到的,所感觉到的,让大家认同。现在,只是,我爱将所看到的,所感觉到的,也让身边的人知道。所以,我有时因此而blog,将自己那一刻所见的,所感受的,以文字刻在这不着边际的网络版图上。就像摄影师拍下那即将落潭的一滴水,或那即将没身黑夜怀抱的黄昏,或那天即破晓而横现的鱼肚白。为了一个小而平凡的时刻/事物/人物,庆祝。放大镜的出现,或许是大肆庆祝小小的存在。

而我,也只不过是个迫于现实强势下,但不甘被现实麻醉的人。被现实麻醉的话,我不再会看到身边某时某地的小小了。或许,我原来是热爱生命的人。因为,惟有生存得以睁开眼睛看着花花世界。所以,我做了放大镜,去看人看事物看世界,或许偶尔难免看不到自己。

不介意的话,请拿着着这放大镜的身,不啬地温柔抚摸镜片。让它感觉你握捏它在手心的感觉,从而感觉自己。

杂碎之闻


对我而言,第一次认识杂碎这词是看到一个朋友拿着一本中国出版有关建筑业的书《杂碎》。

如果杂碎是骂人的词,哪我也不会管太多,就学周董那样乱用词好了。反正酷用就型。

这是所述相关的书---杂碎

这是有关建筑地产方面所用的---杂碎

这是有关饮食业所用的---杂碎

这是关于饮食与生活情节的---杂碎

就像SOHO。有人解读为 Small Office Home Office,有人用在Solar and Heliospheric Observatory。也像OT,上班人说是OverTime,医院人员说是Operation Theatre(手术室)。

杂碎

新的一年里,在新的第一天中最早的数小时,我为公司那老板在家做project。听到家乡某处空中爆开的炮竹声,零散的。我手中按着滑鼠,乏力的。干干的双眼看着电脑荧幕,呆滞的。脑海中追寻着不成模型的影子,心不在焉的。
结果生病了几天。现在还是有点不舒服。

驾着汽车去公司的方向,电台播放着张玉华的歌。我想,我听她的歌是因为想从她那曾经有点类似的唱腔中,追寻孙燕姿的声音。现在听来也不像了,也是好事。突然又想到,杨过寻找小龙女的过程中吻了完颜萍的眼,因为在那一刹那,完的眼睛发出类似小龙女伤心失望的眼神。杨过吻了一会儿突然惊醒。我想,我许多时候,也是突然喜欢某个人或某个事物,因为在那某个时刻,我或许感觉到了什么,碰到了什么,曾经在我心坎里烙下的印象。原来,善忘的我有时好像会不知觉拼命地追寻着印象这东西,这缥缈的过去。

在公司的冷气环境里,我干咳嗽着更改老板看后批评修改的模拟立体。同事有问候,我有告诉她我这假期做工不收分文的丰功伟绩。午餐时,另一个部门的同事问我说这公司的管理体系什么这样什么那样的。原来闲话是传得最快的资讯。

午餐后,依旧跟同事去买水果。老板娘忙着跟同事们聊天。放学后帮妈妈顾档的水果女孩看着我,我也看着她。她那双黑漆漆又灵活有神的眼睛睁得大大的,才开学不久脸上竟然浮现明显的眼袋。彼此看着对方,她没有表情,我也挤不出明显的笑容。彼此都看不出眼神后的话。没有多久,我随着同事吃着清凉的水果回公司去。

放工回家路途中,听到何韵诗的《伤城》,比电影《伤城》更有伤城的味道。滨齐布的原版也好听。收音机成了我工作日子中上下班时最贴心的良伴。也熟悉了DJ颜美欣的声音。觉得她那时常好像因伤风鼻腔不适而发出带鼻音兼不失豪爽的言词很搞笑,很亲切。还时常听她跟拍档笑说自己矮小,所以有时想她小小人儿说某种口气的话是令人莞尔一笑的。许多人上班都脸带倦容的,早晨听着他们俩的说笑欢谈确实让我精神不少。

生活中充满着杂杂碎碎零零散散稀稀奇奇疏疏松松潇潇洒洒合合离离渺渺漫漫小小的插曲。拖着地板的舞步,突然轻快地踢踏,纵然跳跃,以一个芭蕾旋转轻飘飘地落下。。。
