confession of a vampire

晚飯後，很睏，就在床上睡了一會。醒來精神飽滿，但有些怪怪的感覺。這我已試過很多回。日入而息。在本應要去睡的時候起來後，我總是清醒而難以集中，可能潛意識覺得自己有些違反了自然。望著眼前那堆書本文件之類，腦內忽然一片擁擠浮現千萬種畫面，或往日的人和事、或我嚮往的風光，接著就是一連串的情感，或懊悔、或迷惘、或怨懟、或牽掛，彷彿都要吐出來。再想起若不是自己長期休息不夠就不會這麼疲累，要如此吃飽睡睡醒後胡思亂想不事生產，心下加倍悲哀。

一鉤新月天如水，夜色從來也很美，只是我變了。

What do you see yourself in 10 years???

More and more often I have this piece of thought in my mind: if the 15-year-old me had the chance to see how I would be doing in 10 years, probably I would have instantly kill myself. At 25, I am out of shape, far from being a big shot, shallow, and living my life without a clear direction.

While on the other hand I am already happy and grateful with what I already have, I do hope one day I would be standing tall in front of myself, that kid I once was.

Discoveries on TV

Then in the second week of 2007, I am back to the 18-hour working days again. And as always, I never wanted to go straight to bed after getting home, procrastinating a bit instead.

Wanna recap on the short trip before getting back to work. Whenever I was abroad, I spend a lot of time on TV in the hotel room and that has almost become my major reason for travelling (how pathetic). Probably cuz I don't watch much TV at home.

This time I was happy to these on TV.

1. Napaleon Dynamite - watched this for the first time and I just loved it. I don't really know why but I am kind of into geeks / unfashionable things / long and winding roads in the suburb / high school life......... and the movie has it all. This movie is absolutely something more than a great laugh.

2. Sodagreen - watched this band's music video and was really, really impressed. Actually I had seen their albums in some Sino stores for many times, I should have bought one of those.

2007!!!

出門幾日，回港迎接新年。電視播倒數片段，一個二個的新年願望仍然係人人有工開，我就一想過兩日要返工就已很消頹。唉。

這個假期節目排的滿滿，毫不relax，但也開心。要一提的是終找到旺福的旺福同名同姓專輯，已好耐未為一樣東西那麼興奮了。

新一年仍希望我愛的人平安喜樂，自己積極向上。

Farewell Queen's Pier

Schedule of the day:
0900 to 1800 work
1900 to 2330 company event at Ocean Park
0030 to 0300 taking pictures pretentiously at the Ferry Pier

Work was okay and not too busy. After all it's Friday and we had an event after work. The Ocean Park outing was a lot of fun and I had a great time with my colleagues. But then obviously it was the hours spent at the Pier that made the day memorable.

Met up my two buddies Jur and Lo after midnight at the Pier. In the recent week people have gone crazy flocking there to take pictures, while the rickshaws and the newsstand guy turned superstars suddenly. I think this abrupt craze is also an implication of how fast we are going to pass over this Pier and Clock Tower, perhaps. There's nothing wrong but just very much of Hongkong style.

I need a decent camera and I didn't even bring a tripod. Anyway to me the pictures aren't as important as the last hours I was with the Pier, full of memories, but nonchalant.

My office is only steps away from the Pier but my personal connection with her was mostly before the 1997 handover. Deep down I always feel the Ferry Pier belongs the colonized days. Indeed I feel this demolishment is yet another move to get rid of the reminders of our past.

The Ferry Pier, the Queen's Pier and the City Hall are just not separable. They brought me back the memories when my classical music lover Dad brought us to concerts, when my family was on the way to the Peak for a Sunday outing, and the little space near the flagpoles was where we lined up waiting to get into the auditorium during Joint School Music Festivals.

However, weird enough, if you ask me what my impression on the Pier is all about, I would say it's the metal frames. It's not any great architecture, but I love its simplicity.

And the days when we buddies got together puking after many beers and having happy boat trips. Great that Jur took this picture...... it means something to me.

Byebye the Clock Tower.
