我也想走。。。但是捨不下現在"家"的包袱。。。
OH WELL...

我恒我訴：活膩了
友人毅然放下手上的一切，拿起背包，決心闖蕩世界。她的足迹遍天下，這天在峇里的海灘上，那天身處在馬來西亞的一個海島；這一回突然走入了熱帶雨林，轉眼又聽說正在欣賞五彩繽紛的晚霞，或棲身在浮羅交怡樹屋上。看着她每天在社交網站內更新的遊蹤，有點像看發現頻道的《Lonely Planet》，雖然是單身旅人，但每一天都是過得那麼新奇和刺激，多麼的寫意，亦令我深深羨慕和妒忌。
經常有衝動，想一走了之。不是為了逃避，而是想重開自己的眼界和視野。有人說旅遊，就是「從一個活膩了的地方，走到另一個別人活膩了的地方。」其他地方的人是否活膩了，我不曉得，但我對這個城市的感情愈來愈少，倒是事實。幾天前，和幾位一起回流的朋友飯聚，回想十多年前，大家都壯志滿懷的要重回香港，決心追尋和實踐自己的理想。十多年後，大家都不期然的說：「對這個城市很失望！」無論是政府、人民、媒體、居住環境，以至商人的營商手法、人和人之間的關係、新一代的人生態度，都跟十多年前的香港有天淵之別，準確一點說，是大不如前。社會裏互不信任，只有不斷累積怨氣和負面情緒，即使是何等正面的人，也免不了遭這樣的大氣候打沉。當大家的生活都變得枯燥無味，視線愈來愈狹窄，而且都被壓迫得透不過氣的時候，我們還哪有心力去追尋所謂的理想？
於是，終於明白為何在假期裏，大家都不顧旅費暴漲，不理人頭湧湧，千方百計要馬上「逃離家園」。或許，對於這城市，我們都聽厭了、看倦了、活膩了。
我想走。

Tonight's treat - Cloudy Bay Tekoko
Wine Tasting! LOL looking for
1. Party Wine and
2. Wine as Gift.
This one is definitely # 2! I actually like it a lot too!
Cloudy Bay 2007 Tekoko (higher grade of Sauvvignon Blanc)
Benchmark: General white?!
- Color: Light yellow
- Viscosity: Average (tend to less viscose, maybe not cold enough)
- Aroma: Strong (good actually, both smell and taste)
- Dryness: acceptable
- Body: Very full. Very nice!
- After taste: Fruity, a bit sour, and taste "wood"?? again, maybe not cold enough
- price: $368 (vs $2xx Cloudy Bay Sauvvignon Blanc)
- Comment: i don't really like Sauvvignon Blanc as i always think it tends to be very dry. Turn out this higher grade SB is VERY good, both the smell and after taste aroma is very nice. A bit $$, but definitely a GREAT one to enjoy (when one is awake)! :) Worth repurchase :D

A Marvelous weekend, filled w/ love :)
wow, another crazy Sat... just another lovely wekend :)
went drinks RIGHT AFTER exam - studied the whole day Friday for the exam at the central library in CWB and i think i did okay in the exam. I don't think i can get an A but hey, passing it should be no problem :-P
SO, went to Inn Side Out rite after - max we've 11 of us! woohoo~~ it's super crazy! :P we dashed off at around 1900 (as others have dinner plans). had fun hanging out w/ the gangs, again, i don't remember what we talked about in details (is my memory just getting worse these days and always "can't remember what exactly we talked about"?! Or just that it's nothing really important (aka blow water) so never bother to use any brain cell to remember!?) hahaha
All I remember was that we mentioned NO exam content to be discussed, BBQ gathering 12/30 (another gathering woohoo~~) er... and some 8 gwa yeh between who send who some iPhone as gift and may go trip together lor (but why bother and who cares really)?! Although, both classrep & how said they're happy for her and she's cute (blah blah blah).
hahaha, I had 4 glasses of white, also ordered a hooegarden but ended up spitting 80% of it (er.. what a waste!). i think all had fun. :)
And Thai dinner afterward w/ SkinGo @ Elements - totally ad hoc. Waited for him for an hr (while in total wing stage - and ops, sorry sis i called in a totally totally WRONG HRS!) LOL... anyway, dinner was nice :) We had another bottle of house white - OMG, I've drank so much that nite and by midnite i know it's time to go home (and crash) :PPPP

Oh almost forgot, a bag of coffee from SkinGo!! wakakakka happy! :D
Sunday... actually got up very early at 6 sth (felt too cold so just woke up and took a hot hot shower - although it's a lot warmer than Thurs & Fri)... went back to sleep after feeding elvin (HAHAHA)... Woke up by Ed's SMS at 11ish - wooho~~ :-) he has been back since Friday but didn't call me b/c he knows i was having exam on Sat (hahaha, so considerate bor) LOL..
Anyway, so i just kept talking and talking (as usual) and we fixed up dinner together w/ yekini & big den (er.. big den as usual fly aeroplane la!) hahahahah.. didn't get moving to take another shower (don't ask me why i just feel like one) LOL and head out to MK w/ yekini for Christmas shopping - yehhhhhh :D for some reason it's like super super crowded EVERYWHERE but anyway, got the Christmas presents i wanna get (well, except kim's & peggies <- almost forgot hers)....
Hot Pot dinner w/ yekini & Ed was fun as usual - although the food came in like super late and the water in the pot was running dry w/o any food lor! and the 1st bottle are almost done since no food is around. WAKAKAKAKAKA.. ENJOY free corkage! LOL and we had finished 2 bottles during dinner (HA HA HA)
First wine of the nite - recommended by the wine shop guy - a Tasmania Wine - mix of 40% Riesling + 35% Gew + 25% Pinot Gris
Benchmark: M&S Gew
- Color: Similar
- Viscosity: Similar
- Aroma: Strong (good actually)
- Dryness: Less (Feel very "board" and "round")
- After taste: Similar?
- price: $162 (vs $88 per bottle!)
- Comment: Actually i think this mix one is relatively nice compare w/ the price. the taste is more "complicated" but very easy to drink. Definitely worth repurchase :D
2nd white of the nite - 2009 Laugel Vin D'Alsace Gew - we were spse to start this one but since the food come too late we just drink a lot more than we though.. LOL :P however, this is a bit disappointed though :(Benchmark: M&S Gew
- Color: Similar
- Viscosity: Similar
- Aroma: Less than M&S
- Dryness: very smooth
- After taste: similar
- price: $158 (vs $88 per bottle!)
- Comment: maybe it's a "mistake" to take this as the "2nd" wine as once we try this after last one we just think that the taste of this one is too plain and just can taste the sweet ONLY (no other taste! Lachee isn't out, nor other one).. hmm.. won't worth to try again
LAST but not LEAST - i bought myself a Titus (so spoiled!) :P
what a wkend!! great times filled with loved ones!! and I just know that for the remaining 10 days of 2010 will be even greater. :)

聖誕卡 - 多年來"堅守"嘅 Tradition
十分同意 :) 也是我多年來"堅守"Tradition" 嘅意思 :)
Merry Christmas, to those i care and care about me in the last year, and the yrs before... :)
===
我恒我訴：聖誕卡
剛收到今年第一張聖誕卡，是來自教會裏一位十歲的小妹妹。那天，見她捧着一大疊賀卡，逐一派發，親口送上誠意的祝福，場面很是感人，亦提醒我聖誕節快到了。
我也曾經飾演過同一個角色。那個年頭，臨近聖誕，媽媽總會給我一筆額外的零用錢，然後我便跑到街角的文具店，站在那高高的木架前，就着手上的「Budget」，揀選心儀的聖誕卡：普通同學仔，送五毫子一張的便足夠；交情好一點的，送一元的吧；好兄弟和班主任會送三元的，打開時會彈出立體聖誕樹；手上剩餘的十元，會用來買兩張「音樂卡」，送給父母和一位最要好的同學。
小學生的世界既純真又直接（亦可以說很勢利），既然聖誕卡有「等級」之分，一班同學的關係圖，就此表露無遺：會互送聖誕卡的便是朋友，沒有的便不是；又或我當他是「死黨」，但他只送我最普通的一款，便知道「此情不再」。每年，總有人會眼紅，有人會失望，有人會因為收到的卡太少而落淚，一班同學的關係，便可能因一個聖誕節而大大改變了。
回到家中，又會與弟弟比併，看看誰的「聖誕卡龍」最長。可惜，這條龍一年比一年的短，後來更徹底消失了。到了今天，那張卡是五角的還是五元的已不再重要，最值得珍惜的，是有人仍會特地為你挑選一張實實在在的聖誕卡，親手寫上祝福，在信封寫上你的名字，單是這樣，已夠感恩。
親愛的錡錡，多謝你的「守護蛋精靈」聖誕卡，雖然我沒有看過這套卡通片，但仍衷心多謝你的心意，願我們的主一生守護你！
