意大利, 黄健翔, 空白, r u the 1

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/27 2006, 06:13

自从荷兰走后, 觉得本届世界杯没什么看头了, 虽然说客观来讲荷兰的确不能走多远
结果昨天见鬼的意大利&黄健翔证实了这一点.
黄信誓旦旦地说那是一个点球, 我完全看不出来哪里该判点球.
后来黄健翔竟然抽风了, 我就无言了.

感觉就像tmd中国人不能干点有用的事么?欧洲人玩球玩的开心这边13亿人口的国家台评论员抽风了, 至于吗. 到头来还被欧洲人笑话东亚病夫. 怎么总是只有自己做奴隶的分呢, 中国人自己争口气把球踢好等他们来抽风不行吗. 就好像现在的人学英语学的死去活来, 何必呢, 每次大鼻子问我中文我就笑的特得意.

感觉越来越荒谬了.

打成这样的意大利竟然这么幸运.

感谢黄抽风, 让我在这一天有点事转移注意力. 我已经头中一片空白了. 我要疯了.

are you the one


Chivas, 疯了, 橙色

Mermaid Song by Sarah Khider   (seems that it's got another name as when you know by hooverphonic?? Anyway, the Chivas commercial song)  
  

     We could be together
  Everyday together
  We could sit forever
  As loving waves spill over
  
  
  Verse:
  The moon is fully risen
  And shines over the sea
  As you glide in my vision
  The time is standing still
  Don’t shy away too long
  This is a boundless dream
  Come close to me my reason
  I’ll take you in my wings
  
  
  Chorus:
  We could be together
  Everyday Forever
  We belong together
  Further seas and over
  
  
  Verse:
  In the garden of the sea
  I see you looking over
  With my wistful melody
  You leap into the water
  It is no breaths sighing
  This is the mermaid song
  The singing of my sisters
  The sea has drown for long
  
 虽然听着chivas的音乐, 人却完全不是chivas的感觉. 希望有这种潇洒惬意, 实际上是快要疯了. 令我略感安慰的是, 似乎跟我讲过话的人都被我搞疯了, 比如00, 比如ami, .....平衡了一点.....

   我已经紧张到了恶心的地步, 简直不知道应该坐还是站手往哪放,(幸好, 此刻我还清醒地命令我自己打字) 
   感觉真的真的是要疯了.
   于是下午花了一个小时和xg聊天. 感觉好了很多, 酣畅淋漓.

     00在泰山上被我弄疯了.
     愿主保佑00明晚8:00能平安正常地滚回来接受下一轮颠覆.


其实我还想说点什么的, 但实在是想不起来了. 聊天聊的心情真的不错了.这歌听得也不错.荷兰看得我无言了. 哈利波特6看完了. 4的电影看了, 不是一般的难看. 


Trip to amy's, which sucks

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/23 2006, 16:12

I've had enough!
More than I could bear!

My second visit to ami, my 8 o'clock-get-up out of my daily 10, with an awful hurry stemming from enough expectation and importance from my part, turned out to be worse than ever. As soon as i grabbed the damn bus, it dawned on me that i was never the only one invited. This sense of being let down was nothing compared to the feeling when i found out who the other i-dunno guests were: wong&baobao. Ok, i was easy-going. i'm trying to treat it just as a normal classmate meeting. Sit in the stupid gallery, listening to their stupid comments on things on display. Wrong time, with wrong people. And when it finall came to a greezy&noisy but non-inexpensive restaurant, never had i missed Starbucks more.

There it is. I've had enough. Every single sneer they responded to my words, every arrogant and vain statement they made is again pulling me back to the damn gloomy memory.

''I'd rather be all alone.''

 

Then they rejected my proposal to meet the australian and we staggered back to ami's. The smell of boiling Chinese medicine, the air-conditioner that refuses to work, and even the  offensive words her mum said to me (of course, which she didn't find offensive at all) was exactly the same. There was not a slightest change in the past year in ami's. It proves to be sagacious for me not to ruin Love Letter with them so i agreed with Walk the Line, ami's favorite, which she's watching for the third time. And it just SUCKS!!! i dozed off immediately. What a louzy oscar.

Worse to come, i finally escaped and hurried to the club, only to be told my dance lesson was cancelled.

There goes my day and my expectation that had long been held. i had intended to talk to ami about the thing coz it's really driving me neurotic. But now i know every word exchanged with baobao only made me now really neurotic.

Now i say i hate any activity that involves more than 3 people, especially more than 3 people that share almost nothing.

你永远看不到我看到的风景.


Forzarichy/Amy/Invasion

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/22 2006, 20:09

我真是恨死forzarichy了!!!
我再不理你了!!

迫不及待, 明天终于要去见amy了.
如果在出来之前再不找个人说说我一定是要疯了.

someone's invading my home. For the first time in 4 years. The feeling's overwhelming, especially when this guest not invited by me is such a overwhelming person.

再说一遍, 我真是恨死你啦, forzarichy!Yell


trying to analyze, on the way to amy's

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/22 2006, 16:46

I've never had a really big gain or triumph in my entire life (can't even think of a highlight that's worth being crazy about). So i pretty much just can't believe anything wonderful as CUHK could ever happen to me. Thus i kept repeating the negative spots and magnifying them. I was just so afraid. I've got to talk to ami. Or i'm goin to be mad.

 

'' NEVER HAD A DREAM COME TRUE.''


On Rules (unfinished)

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/20 2006, 18:23

'' I used to have a lot of ideas.' I told Ari that day. And with these long time ago ideas, I developed most of them on the shuttle bus, the transportation I’ve been taking for the past four years. And it now seems to be the best place for my inspiration, especially the one going off to downtown.

Recently I was thinking about rules. Rules, originally defined as 'an accepted principle or instruction that states the way things are or should be done, and tells you what you are allowed or are not allowed to do' (Cambridge ALD) was meant to be used to discipline those who would cross the limit out of the general public. For this good reason it’s there to be. But when rules come to individuals, it falls into insult. To tell a certain person ‘don’t steal’ is just saying this person is having the potential to steal, which is, insult. So whenever a service worker tells a customer ‘here we don't allow xxx’’, it barely works, more often ending up in unpleasure for the customer. Unfortunately, they are still not fully aware of this paradox of rules, which is, rules work quite well for the general public but nor for individuals.

And that’s exactly the same reason why a principal’s preaching to the whole students won’t have expected effect rather than a meeting within a class, on a smaller scale of receivers.

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/20 2006, 18:21

I don’t know how to put it, but I just can’t get it through my head that here and now is really here and now. or that I am really me. It doesn’t quite hit home. It’s always this way. Only much later on does it ever come together. For the last 10 years it’s been like this.

The whinners' club

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/14 2006, 07:50

 One of the major activities in my circle of friends is Feeling Sorry For Oneself. It’s the hot new hobby. Anyone can do it – no special training or talent is necessary. You just have to find a way to get in touch with your inner pain – and then share it.

  The rules clearly state that when a person utters a self-pitying complaint, no matter how trivial it may seem, it is the obligation of the responding party to affirm the suffering. There is to be no talk of ‘’bucking up’’, no falling back on that useless instruction to ‘’look on the bright sides.’’

  Unfortunately, the popularity of our new hobby has created congestion. Many people are feeling sorry for themselves when it is no their turn. Things have got so chaotic that we’ve had to make a sign-up sheet. For example, I get to feel sorry for myself on Tuesdays. But the new system is only a modest success. There are several people who are secretly feeling sorry for themselves on someone else’s time. But you can’t accuse them of cheating – they’ll get that injured look.

   People also appropriate the sorrows of others. One of my friends often seizes upon others’ problems and takes them to heart, sometimes falling into weepings. We have to tell her:’’ That one belongs to Sue.’’

   Another problem is that many of us don’t actually feel sorry for ourselves on our designated day, so we have to fake it. Last Tuesday I was actually on quite a high but didn’t want to waste my one day of self-pity. I spent two hours recalling carious childhood humiliations, teachers who never’’got’’ me, girlfriends who failed to be crazy when I broke up with them, and so on, just to get in the right mood to tell my friends that my life is a living hell.

   Worse, one of my buddies, an emotional basket case whom everyone knows as the Black Hole, tried to arguer the point and say that my life is actually great, that I have a good family, I am gainfully employed, etc. but we all know why he violated the rules and refused to affirm my misery: He’s jealous. He wants to be the Misery King.

   And I have to admit, when it comes to feeling sorry for himself, the Hole is a prodigy. We went to lunch one day, and he made a list of his usual complaints.

 ''I havn’t had a new idea in 10 years, '' he said.

 '' I never had a new idea'', I answered.

 ''At least you are good with those things. What do you call them?''

  ''Words?''

  ''Yeah.''

  ''I am not good with words. I can’t even spot a cliché.''

  ''But you’re young, still.''

  ''We’re the same age. Actually you’re younger, aren’t you?''

   ''I don’t know how old I am. I feel 80.''

   ''You’re in your 40s.''

   ''My 40s! That sounds so old. Just hearing that makes me feel like I’m 100.''

   And so on. I wish I had his gift for finding the bitter fruits of despair in the great orchard of happiness.

    Just another thing I’m not good at.

沉闷/正常/底朝天

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/14 2006, 07:20

昨天看了本届世界杯熬夜看的第一场球,  不幸撞到的是''本届世界杯历史上最沉闷的比赛''--法国瑞士.

 

Now i feel i'm crawling back to the normal state, with things to be crazy about, with things to worry - that's so real - C'est la vie.

 

(再次)清空所有东西, 把一切翻的底朝天. 这种事我一般一干可以干一天. 并且在进行过程中房间简直惨不忍睹, 底朝天, 我习惯把什么东西都先扯出来放着, 不, 堆着. 所以无从下手是什么感觉?就是这种感觉. 当然, 每次我都会在若干小时后把一切藏起来, 把房收拾的很有人样. 于是我就是在每一次这样的行为中获得了成就感.

今次成就感还包括边收边拍了一些东西, 制作了第一个ALBUM. 我实在是不怎么喜欢album.

Sad story, but wonderful film, i'll say.

画与措手不及

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/11 2006, 13:00

1年内(是一年么?)首次重提画笔

专心致志, 安静沉默, 酣畅淋漓....

每次我画出来觉得没什么可改的东西都会被我爸找出一大堆可以改的地方

于是总是事后感叹下次一定要自己先多检查

可每次还是一样

于是我在想我是需要更多的检查还是已经太多了以至于使我趑趄不前了?

人太聪明了多少就有不安全感, 比如Mobbyca同学实在是太聪明了, 一声不坑的就跳了来, 感觉象在沙漠中搭个帐篷还没搭好就被人抓到, 措手不及.


幸好, 还有世界杯

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/11 2006, 06:11

我发现, 看碟绝对不适合我这种毫无自制力的厮

sex and the city一天看了十几集, 基本上觉得似乎没有理由在手边有一大堆碟的情况下停下来. 决定明天看davinci code& Munich.

不过, 幸好还有世界杯.  这是足够的理由to pull me away from the computer.

当我坐在车上, 走在路上时, 是如此的绝望, 看着一切的流逝, 果真如我所预想的坏

不过, 当我终于到家, 打开电视时--

幸好还有世界杯.                                                                                 

从火星回来, 我又一次看到了球迷闹事, 看到了圣克鲁斯, 看到了绿色球场, 看到了空气中飞扬的热情.

幸好还有世界杯, 把我从这摧枯拉朽的不靠谱的感觉中拖出来.

还是看电视吧, 别看碟了, 不靠谱.


it's overwhelming.

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/10 2006, 05:52

Just as I start trying to recall in the inspiration thing, it occurred to me how overwhelming it is—way more than I had imagined--- it’s like I’m not a normal person (a loser?) with no ability to love, no ability to smile, no ability to keep calm, no ability to be humorous.

某些东西被粉碎了, 瓦解了, 再也不能复原了, 就像一堆沙被风刮平了.


泥泞中匍匐

Posted by: Scarlette - 06/10 2006, 05:49

I don’t know how long it’ll take before I return to the normal state – to a normal person – start again writing, thinking, being mad, and, just everything. I mean, I’ve been out of the ego in the past period – more out than I had imagined – completely deprived of all my sense and proud I used to enjoy (actually ever since long ago isn’t it?) anyway, I’m now writing, in the night, in this yellow light – that’s sign of progress isn’t it?

I decide I’m going to reread Calvino to pick up my sense.
