「肥婆」公園逛年宵

農曆新年前夕,與家人去「肥婆」公園逛年宵是一大樂事。逛年宵,並不是為了買年花,而是為了看看今年擺攤的人有甚麼新創意、新產品。近年年宵除了湧現大量吹氣兵器外,所謂的創意產品也流於 Delay No More  14K 金的層次,無非是玩弄粗口諧音或敏感題材。從西入口進入會場,第一檔賣的是吹氣玩具--盒子色彩繽紛、印有各樣水果圖案的「多利是」吹氣袋。不論包裝、設計甚至產品讀音,只要在 7-11 買報紙時,稍微望向下面的貨架就會發現靈感來源--杜蕾斯安全套。不知道誰會買那樣的「玩具」,帶著那個袋子去拜年……自從我看過仿真度極高的「多利是」利是套後,看見任何棍狀玩具,都會聯想起學習女性主義文學分析時,老師要我們努力尋找的 Phallic Symbol……不論是充氣後青筋暴現的「屈肌老鼠仔」、吹氣魚蛋、燒賣和竹輪串成的吹氣串燒還是廁所泵狀的吹氣玩具……都一一令我聯想起世界文化科中談及的陽具崇拜或近日的淫照事件。低俗甚麼時候成為品味?是社會規範讓人無從洩慾?我的心裡留下不少問號…… 

離開乾貨區,看看今年賣花的怎麼樣。可能因為天氣寒冷,花卉不像去年那樣通通凋謝,還看見不少花兒含苞待放。不過花種沒甚麼大變化,桃花、水仙、年吉等都是過年必備。自己覺得比較壯觀的,莫過於看見一排又一排,每排顏色皆不同的蘭花。蘭花身價一向高企,而且給人感覺是難以照顧,因此甚少在花店、年宵看見它的蹤影。可能是花農看見商機,因此用溫室大量培植,在年宵市場內竟然看見一盤又一盤盛開著的蘭花,不知就裡者可能會以為自己去了蘭花展吧…… 

希望大家新年快樂,過一個愉快的鼠年……

Happy New Year: An Open Letter

Dear all,

It's already 31 Dec, the very last day of the 2007. In less than 24 hours, 2007 will be a history, and we will be living in the year 2008.

Many things had happened in the previous 365 days, bringing me both joy and sadness. I learned something new, met lots of new faces, made some pretty good friends.

The year 2008 will be a year of change for myself and most of my friends, we are going to graduate, we will be no student. We may choose to further our study here or abroad, we may start working. No matter what your plan is, I wish you success.

After being graduated in the coming future, we will have a busy life. I don't know what you are working on, I don't know whether we will have chance to meet again, but I do know one thing, that, as a friend of mine, as someone I knew in my life, you changed me, you shaped me (I m NOT talking about a cosmetic surgery.) The appearance of every one of you re-written my story, as well as your own.

I don't want to be emotional, but I really want to say, it's my pleasure and honor to know you all. It's you who made me who I am.

I hope the year 2008 will be a prosperous and fruitful year for you and your family. Good luck, this is our time, this is our age. Let's make some history together.

玉器市場


玉器市場,之前在 Consumer Council Part Time 時雖然常常說要去油麻地一趟,拍攝它和廟街,但是一直沒有成事,直到昨天因為有事要去那邊處理,所以才去了那裡 。我對玉石一無所知,算了,不多說。

中秋玩煙花?!

這個中秋最 Amazing 的就是見到有家人一邊煲蠟,一邊玩煙花!其實香港人多,大時大節大家跑來跑去,實在很容易發生意外。
(我覺得他們違反了香港法例,有人能告訴我嗎?)

煲蠟

雖然政府大力勸籲人們要注意安全,不要煲蠟,但是我仍然看見有不少人繼續玩這種危險活動。

熒光棒...Quite Overwhelming


今年中秋又病了,因此謝絕了一切應酬。飯後到住處下面的廣場逛逛,發現幾乎所有人都是玩熒光棒,只有兩人提著傳統燈籠,還有一對情侶拿著柚皮燈籠拍照玩耍。
記得剛剛出現熒光棒的時候(我小學),那是一種奢侈品,雖然忘記了準確的價錢,但是記憶中也大概要十塊左右才有一支。去年,已經看見商店是十塊一桶的賣,絕對比以前便宜多。
熒光棒照亮了中秋,同時令玩燈籠這種傳統活動逐漸消失。不知道那些說要香港保留「煲蠟」這個中秋傳統的人會不會呼籲大家多玩燈籠?
