曾寄居宋淇於加多利道山景大樓之家,為電國泰/電懋編劇.



林敏怡的曲算是這個1984年版本中最可取之處 (vocal 除外)。

Authenticity 真確性






The first 3: movie sets depicting a middle-class household in 1950's HK
The last one: movie set depicting streetscape of the same era
Source: Bruce Lee My Brother

If authenticity = truthfulness+credibility, as far as conservation is concerned, then which one (interior or streetscape) do you think is more 'authentic'?

狐蝠 (1977)



a stunning recording of HK Island street scape in 1977.

其實我份工做咩?

兩年多以來的job description:

  • compile summary and comments for revitalisation proposals on one of the assessment criteria;
  • draft speeches, speaking notes, Line-to-take, Q&A for 'senior' management;
  • write-up, translate and edit newsletter;
  • procurement of service providers for guided tours, exhibition, events;
  • conceive and supervise production of a teaching kit for secondary school teachers;
  • draft answers to press enquiry;
  • MC-ing for event;
  • working on multi-media aspects for projects;
  • handle requests (mostly unreasonable ones) by so-called 'stake-holders';
  • handle requests (mostly low-b ones) by so-called 'senior' management;
  • handle requests (mostly undingable ones) which should have been handled by supervisor;
  • assume the ridiculous role of a property owner in search of a management agent;
I know it's typical.

Written on a day of time off, when mood seriously dampened after replying work-related sms.

A tribute to Anita Mui at her birthday. I always think there was something classy about the Canto-pop of the late 1980's-early 1990's. More to come.

Fluffy texture with aromatic cream and devilish caramel. All blend in just right. Simply angelic. When you have tasted something like this, it's the point of no return.

麻痹

再也感受不到時代脈膊,是我最害怕會發生在自己身上的事。

開腦震盪會議,思索欲邀嘉賓名單, 事情以好玩過癮為宗。與會的三尾四頭的同事認真地建議這些名字:朱維德,韋基信, 林燕妮, 西茜凰。

那一刻我慶幸,生活還有別的可能性讓我可以與世代同呼吸。

七號巴士



The No. 7 bus route is often featured in old Hong Kong movies. Enroute finds Waterloo Road, from which Ho Man Tin Street stems. Thanks Kaming Goh Goh for inviting us to visit his exquisite vintage home in this uniquely tranquil neighbourhood where traces of 1950's-60's Hong Kong can still be experienced.

Would like to propose a bus ride in No. 7 from Star Ferry Tsim Sha Tsui. Anyone?

一人行

台北撫臺街洋樓內“台北的老上海記憶展覽”,
留聲機傳來夾雜唱針淅瀝的老歌。

這玩兒, 一嚐上癮。

我甚至恐怕再難以想像如以往般,與遊伴每天二十四小時都黏在一起會是何等滋味。與人同行卻要求有自己的獨處時光, 應該沒有人會理會這個怪人。於是,預料往後的旅程仍然是一個人走.

聖約瑟臺



For those who spent primary school days in SHCS, you wouldn't forget this row of "haunted houses" which led to either way down to the Cathedral or up to Robinson Road. St. Joseph's Terrace in colour photos AT LAST!!!

For heritage lovers, more architectural gems of HK in rich texture here.

1127

Never been interested in any of his movies made in the 1970's.
Yet, watching him as a child star in the 1950's, that's what I call charismatic.
Strongly recommend '人海孤鴻‘(1960) in which he shines even more.

三月雜談

紛擾忙亂的三月將過,來一個月尾回顧雜談。

上旬上海半公半私之旅,前半部續弦參舊懷古之癖,每天看老房子散步到Paul吃早餐之外,特別去了多倫路由老洋房改裝的老電影咖啡館磨了個下午,看著默了聲的《馬路天使》。《色戒》裡王佳芝說「快走」後茫然登上三輪車,幽幽地說出:「福開森路!」就是現在的武康路,老洋房一條街,黃興故居變成了旅遊資詢中心,內設經典建築模型,實為無心插柳之下發現的小驚喜。後半部住進蘇州河邊上的新亞大酒店,二十年代已經面對郵政局,到旁邊的建築系上課,頗有玩味。連日走訪工廠變創意產業的地點,聽威尼斯人建築師談其修復項目,驚訝上海之浮華。壽辰日埋頭組務砌功課,以感冒菌相伴,外灘一頓午餐已經算是是日精點。

回港後繼續在病榻下上班上課做兼職上健身房,偷閒看了《不赦島》及《歲月神偷》。後者的肉麻精英式自我陶醉不消提,前者男角的精準演出叫我覺得有些人令到電影這回事,還是買票入場看才成。

電腦完成歷史任務,亦標誌我成為蘋果用家的日子即將展開。週末參加了友人帶領的電影現場之旅,拜服於其旁徵博引又不失幽默的表達手法,晚上家庭飯局,見到好久不見遠道由英國回來的表弟妹,心裡就是歡喜。

在倫敦當建築師、畜了鬍子的bear bear表弟一擁過來,那句英式口音的「How are you?」窩心到不能。

名字出現在鄰博的奇情故事裡,又是另一樂事。

大頭妹

長輩的心肝寶貝女,娃兒時期是何其可愛。

再見娃兒時,已是亭亭少女。與自己身旁那年紀較大的另一半,反差很大。

數年之後再見,枕邊人已經遠去,娃兒也長大成人了。兩人就是感到莫名的親切,短短相對數天,就像是認識了幾輩子的事。事情發展下來,他們都意識到對對方不應該有感覺,濃烈刺熱得叫人害怕。

那天晚上,他決定告訴她。一輩子都郎當不羈的他,當然不至於天真地以為她會接受自己,全為讓她知道,他會以令一種方式去愛她。她從來沒有聽過更動聽的表 白,看著眼前丰神俊朗的他,她不忍坦白自己的理性聲音:「距離只會愈來愈遠的兩個人,何必呢?」感性的那邊卻一直為他留了一個特別的位置。

是夜,事過境遷的兩個人又會面了。他拍拍她的頭,輕叫聲:「大頭妹!」她微笑回應,就像那年冬天一樣。

Q

請教男子組:如被讚cute,會否覺得是compliment還是相反?

請勿誤會,我所指的趣緻男生並非穿工人褲查什果bin潤唇膏的林志穎台式裝可愛,而是大男孩feel得來帶點傻氣的那種。

洪永城就是以前的吳大維,看見他傻笑時眼睛咪城一線,身上點點嬰兒肥,頓覺心情舒暢,母性加獸性大發!

我有少少鐘意左kui…
