停了的錶

雖然它一動沒動, 但它卻還忠實地記錄著某個時間, 每天到了某個時刻, 它仍能準確地顯示那時間, 就在那一瞬間, 它的生命就好像突然回來了, 但就只有一秒鐘

對於這屬於它的那一秒, 它比世上一切會跑的鐘還要準確, 因為是時間追著它, 而不是它追著時間

就是它那等待, 它忠心的守候, 所以它可以絲毫不差地, 完美地捉緊那一殺

雖然只是一秒鐘, 但這卻是完完全全屬於它的一秒

時間不會停留, 但我卻可以

Ukulele: other than strumming, picking?

http://www.ezfolk.com/uke/Tutorials/Fingerpicking/fingerpicking.html

There are relatively people talking about that, so it's one of the few interesting resources.

It's obvious that some songs were better played this way than strumming.

有廣東話既 tutorial 很不錯!

Life in the Gaps

I love you since you are imperfect,
otherwise, you don't need my love.
Perfections and imperfections were woven together,
and that's you, my love.

We were created together as a whole,
and so you can always find me even among your gaps,
but unluckily I asked myself,
am I only living among these gaps?

Suddenly, I realized that gaps are so special!
So special that they could be seen everywhere and any time!
And those imperfections were where I could infiltrate,
and to penetrate into every bits of your life.

I might not be able to be around:
when you're helping a mother to delivery a baby,
when you're preaching your sermon on the stage,
when you're writing your papers.

But I could be always be there:
when you're off work waiting for you down stair,
when you're scratching your heads for an outline,
when you're finishing and need typing.

I'd still love to be the main character,
here and there, now and then.

But being the sum of gaps of infinitesimal width matters, too!
And only in that way,

I could always find myself to be with you,
here and there, now and then.

「晚秋」 (Late Autumn)

別人講過的，我不重覆。

喜歡「晚秋」 (Late Autumn) 的感覺。

女主角的抑壓是主菜，男主角和他的手錶、獄中那電話、青梅竹馬的男人等等，都是恰到好處的配菜，襯托出抑壓的那種獨特味道。

是意料之外，還是毫不意外，竟是一支極盡無聊的义，攻破了這重重抑壓的藩籬，雖然洞口很快就被現實充塞了！

直到劇終，女主角才在現實中為自己製造了一個不可能完成的夢，讓抑壓再一次得以舒解數秒，讓她首次從心底裡露出微笑。

糖心蛋

不久之前第一次聽，今日第一次食。

表面上和其它烚蛋一樣，做法也相類似，只是火候不同。

打開了還以為失敗了，但原來內裡有不同：

蛋黃是流動的，味道就像荷包蛋的蛋黃。烚蛋最不好吃的就是蛋黃，這樣處理連蛋黃也變得好吃呢！

做法我不說了，反正網上多的是，我還沒有試過，總之就是要弄到半熟，蛋白熟了而蛋黃流動最好。上面這個也略為熟了，不過還很好吃，畢竟還是第一次呢！

花千樹

柏拉圖有一天問老師蘇格拉底什麼是愛情？

蘇格拉底叫他到麥田走一次，要不回頭地走，在途中要摘一棵最大最好的麥穗，但只可以摘一次，柏拉圖覺得很容易，充滿信心地出去。

誰知過了半天他仍沒有回去，最後，他垂頭喪氣出現在老師跟前訴說空手而回的原因:「很難得看見一株看似不錯的，卻不知是不是最好，不得已，因為只可以摘一次，只好放棄，再看看有沒有更好的，到發現已經走到盡頭時，才發覺手上一棵麥穗也沒有。」

看罷這個故事，或許人會變得困惑，但其實我們並不需要困惑，因為婚姻或是戀愛，從來就不是比較，更不是找最好的。婚姻是盟約，是沒有條件的愛，所以也是最堅定的愛，就算他日出現所謂更好的時候，也用不著後悔！
