• 烟肉炒蛋 fried egg with pancetta

    简单的菜式,做过很多次,真正吃到觉得简直绝了的是大概一个月前亲爱的的偶然之作。特此留念。

    Fried egg with bacon

    新鲜无比的pancetta,煎到刚刚好外脆里嫩,将多余的油沥干。

    没关火之前把打好的鸡蛋倒入,然后立刻关掉。

    就着余温用木勺清炒。

    两分钟就可以出锅了。我们本来就吃得清淡,pancetta又本就有咸味,还是不加调味料为妙。最多撒些胡椒。 (more…)

  • 一生经过彷徨的挣扎
    自信可改变未来
    问谁又能做到

    占中运动过去已经一个多月了,那时Facebook和微信都被各种照片各方言论刷屏,看到那些乖巧的学生安静的游行,也看到各怀鬼胎的投机客丑态毕露,心里说不出五味杂陈,又是感动,又是伤心,又是期待,又是失望。我想如果我和Max都在香港,一定会和学生们坐在一起,不管是什么样的人在背后有什么样的内幕在操演,我们的心依旧是同学生们一样: (more…)

  • 昨夜临睡前。


    小巷

    顾城

    小巷

    又弯又长

    没有门

    没有窗

    我拿把旧钥匙

    敲着厚厚的墙


    我找了一圈也没有合适的图片来配。

    诗歌的魅力就在于此。

  • I almost experience morning expression every day after moving to London. I know clearly about the reason. It is because I am not working currently and have to stay at home. Every time when I get up late in the morning after my husband goes to work, I feel depressive, – another long day that I have to spend by my own (of course sometimes I enjoy it very much but I really need to social).

    Lately it becomes better. The reason I am writing this blog is to note down all the effective methods I am now using to prevent that from happening or to reduce its consequences. They come as a list like below (I’ll update every time I find a new one):

    • Go for a walk. The exercise makes you feel warm and happy.
    • Go out to talk to people. I am looking for a job in this new city I am living in so I paid someone to teach me writing a proper CV and to practise interview. It is really nice to know that everyday I am going to talk to someone to improve my skills.
    • Think of a dream and a realistic way to reach it. I always wanted to build my own house but it requires a lot of skills and I am no architect. A more general dream deprived from that is that I want to build and create something 3D. That’s why I am taking online course of product design, which requires me to make something on my own. I am also learning to build a website with HTML and CSS language, which is not 3D but still makes me feel good. Now that I realise everything I do is meaningful to my dream, the depression would go away.
    • Think of money. It is evil, but it works. I am working very hard now to find a good job with nice pay. It makes me feel good when I know what I can earn by contributing my competencies and skills, and this is something I will need to work for day after day.

    I tried to search “morning depression” online and was surprised to find some many articles about it, but most of them are talking about taking pills and having therapies. I don’t believe in either of them. Morning depression should not be treated as a disease. It will be a disease if you do so. In my opinion it is just a very normal human reaction with a cause rooted in one’s mind that he or she can find on his or her own. You must be not satisfied with your life that you’ll have it. Tell me if I am wrong.

  • 吐司工坊是我们住在香港的时候经常去吃早餐的地方。他们提供的半熟蛋加酱油用来占面包非常好吃。

    今天老朱做了个实验,把一个生鸡蛋(不剝壳)放在滚水中,用盖子盖住,不加火闷了大概十分钟,取出来打开鸡蛋,倒入小碗里,然后加了点生抽,居然和吐司工坊的半熟蛋味道是一模一样的!

    老朱说以后早上就吃这个了!

    图片后补。

  • 如诗与如画

    阅读西方人所著艺术史,通常中国的艺术自成一隅,审美、色彩、技法等等,与西方是不相通的。我个人认为中国是没有所谓艺术的,只有美术。中国美术通常是很平面的,而且极少会容纳个性、包含创意,不像西方的艺术品在每个时段或者派别中都有登峰造极之作。但是这样比是不公平的,因为中国真正的艺术不在画中,而在诗句和书 (more…)

  • 梦

    昨晚看了张国荣和梅艳芳主演的电影《胭脂扣》,关锦鹏导演、李碧华的剧本。
    不想评价如花和十二少的爱情,也不想评价他们的性格与行为,我只知道我看到如花走了、十二少跟在她身后连叫几声对不起,——这是错过爱情后的最好结局。
    之后我好像女鬼上身般如梦如幻、若即若离,在朦胧之中沉沉睡去。

    我没有梦到胭脂扣,但 (more…)

  • 单车记

    Barclays的单车提车点在伦敦随处可见。我们在午后明媚的阳光下从Barclays大楼前出发,差不多每隔半个小时停下来换车以节省行车费用,一下午的时间也将city of London绕了小半。

    在伦敦最惬意的事情莫过于,在少量特设的蓝色单车径之外,你可以骑着自行车穿梭于任何大小道路上,而且是机动车道! (more…)

  • 剪纸随感

    《剪纸》是也斯的作品,今天听到一个关于也斯的电台节目,于是又想起这部小说曾经带给我的极大震撼。

    这种震撼不那么激烈,但是在我内心深处一点一滴地勾勒出香港这个城市中被霓虹灯和高楼大厦所掩盖的细腻的情感的轮廓。

    可能是因为离开了香港,但是又因为来到伦敦——一个和香港有着百年渊源的城市,使得这个轮廓即遥远 (more…)

  • 隧道尽头的光

    在 Royal Academy of Art 的夏季展中看到 John Smith 的 Tunnel at the end of the Light (《光尽头的隧道》)。我很喜欢这件作品,干净、利索并且充满幻想。

    我不知道隧道是不是在光的尽头,但是却真真切切看到隧道尽头的光;我看到那光亮把周围的景致吞噬,若是穿过仅剩的黑色的隧道,也许正是从此处向彼岸度过了无尽的时光。 (more…)
