FEELINGS心情日记: 别扭

农历新年前夕有幸受到客户邀请出席该公司的新春晚宴/收工宴,心情还瞒愉快的,毕竟是入行以来第一次出外交际。当晚菜色相当丰富,除了一贯的捞鱼生,鲍翅汤,还有我第一次品尝的鹅掌。气氛不错,场地不错,主人家不错,同行不错,没想到‘人肉戏’更加不错。

宴会还没开始,眼尖的我就狩猎到三位美女(观察美女是我的嗜好,互相学习嘛)。一个低胸,一个挖背,还有一个挤暴了胸,三位看来感情要好,时刻结伴。应该是我妒忌心重吧,心想哪间公司的OL那么风尘妖娇。没想到这时我的同事就低下头悄悄跟我说,“和往年一样,主人家请来了小姐们陪坐。”

目瞪口呆是我当时的反应。在闽南剧/港剧里的情节,活生生地在我面前上演。天真的我从来不知原来除了风月场所外,连阖府统请的喜筵上也会有这号人物出现。从一开始的谈笑风生,到酒后的不安分,每一刻都让我不自在。同事笑说,也许这只是一种社交手腕,而她们只是公关执行者PRPublic Relations)。这样子说,会伤害到那些真正选修PR课程的‘正牌’公关吗?

我的视线不是落在她们身上,脑海里不断出现疑问。她们和他们不会觉得害臊吗?是有求必应或有应则求?她们的生活就是这样夜夜笙歌吗?她们的幸福有未来吗?散场后是不是还有序幕?

或许,见识过了一次,下次再有这样的场面,我不会再感到别扭。

KITCHEN厨房日记: Tom Yum Pasta

I started to reduce the intake of hot and spicy food since teenage due to few reasons. Firstly, I have bad skin problems and spicy food prompt acnes and pimples. Besides that, my stomach is too tender to process those red hot spicy chili, I will end up staying in the toilet if I consume too much spicy food. However, the truth is, I like to eat spicy food, and my favourite will be Tom Yum. (Curry is second, love curry laksa/noodles too!)

Thought of the can of Tom Yum paste in my fridge, owned by my housemate, I bought Tom Yum cubes in Jusco stores. I think they are versatile, they can be used in cooking soup, frying rice or noodles, and preparing sauce as well. I used them to cook Pasta in Tom Yum Soup, almost as easy as cooking instant noodles. Just cook veggies like tomato, capsicum/peppers, cabbage and etc. in water, add in Tom Yum cube and stir well. 



Add in boiled pasta in the soup, season with salt and paprika/chili powder and they are ready to be served. [TIPS: Cook the veggies in correct sequence to get the ideal texture according to your preference. I personally prefer the cabbage and tomato to be soft but capsicum/pepper to be crunchy.]


And, I seriously need a bigger kitchen. All I have now is a tiny (not even small!) corner. >.<

FEELINGS心情日记: 撒哈拉的沙


我不熟悉三毛,只知道她是70-80年代中国/台湾知名作家。我没有读过三毛的书,毕竟我称不上是文学爱好者。对于她的一生传奇,我也只略知她沧桑得感情事,以致中年时期悠然地结束生命。恰逢某中文日报刊登她逝世21周年专题,我才恍然,她的文笔,竟是如斯细腻美丽!

“我笑,便面如春花,定是能感动人的,任他是谁。”三毛给人的感觉,像是轻盈潇洒的希腊女神,悠悠的,飘飘的,浪漫温柔里却也带着率性刚强。我读着这一句,脑海里想着她站在浩瀚无际的沙漠上,和她心爱的荷西,任凭大风拨弄披肩长发,回眸一笑。

“不要去看那个伤口,它有一天会结疤的,疤痕不褪,可它不会再痛。”有多少人害怕受到伤害而原地不动,亦有多少人为了受过的伤害而耿耿于怀。走错了,就回头。痛过了,就放手。心碎了,就遗忘。不美好的回忆,就让它从心底浮现,再随风而去。

“知音,能有一两个已经很好了,实在不必太多。朋友之乐,贵在那份踏实的信赖。”三毛流浪多年,踏遍无数个国度,想必结交众多友人。但能够真正了解她想法的,赞同她做法的,又有几个?她那浪漫潇洒的境界,根本不是我们世俗人可以明了的,更甭说有勇气去体验了。

“好孩子,刻意去找的东西,往往是找不到的。天下万物的来和去,都有它的时间。”这情形,是我一直都面对的。心理渴求梦想的,永远都不会发生。而发生的,永远是在意想之外让你措手不及的。比如,你爱他时,他从不发现你,你不爱他了,他却又在你面前出现了;又或者,你随缘淡然时,竟然成功获得,你信心满满时,却会失败落选。

“如果有来生,我要做一颗树,站成永恒,没有悲欢的姿势。一半在土里安详,一半在风里飞扬,一半洒落荫凉,一半沐浴阳光,非常沉默非常骄傲,从不依靠从不寻找。”再也没有其他字句可以更贴切地形容三毛。是她对故乡的怀念,还是对荷西的眷恋,让她写下了这句?这样的一颗树,完全是她的写照。从四处漂泊到回归原地,从轰轰烈烈到平平淡淡,失而复得,得后失之。我愿,她现在已经成为那样的一颗树。

“每想你一次,天上飘落一粒沙,从此形成了撒哈拉!”太凄美了!丝丝入扣,看得我鼻头一酸,泪水在眼里打滚。有人这样爱一个人吗?少啊,难呀!
