.

生活過得很滿足。
這幾天都跟同年同月同日生的表姐周圍逛。
人生第一次買了指甲油,也買了新裙子。
those who said u cant buy happiness simply dunno where to shop.
昨天晚上又夢到你了。
還貌似大聲喊了你的名字出來。
oh please stop.

孽子。

在看孽子。
 一部分是為了學校的閱讀報告,另一部分是真的想看。



還記得中三時才剛確認自己的性傾向,就聽見中史老師提及這本書。
她說看這本書時覺得很噁心,那時候我激動到不得了,跟鄰座同學罵了老師一頓。 
現在回想起來覺得自己簡直是"未見過世面",更恐同的人我這些年見得、聽得太多了。 


不過孽子這本書又真的很沉重。
說的,是一個叫李青的少年,跟一些同路人在屬於他們的黑暗王國裡壯烈的愛情、壓抑的悲憤、無奈的吶喊。 


 小說都頗長,又或者是我太久沒看過中文書而覺得長。 


不過暫時的感覺是,新一代同志實在太幸福了。 
上一代的男同志還要到公園去尋找獵物,這一代的上網按幾個鍵就可以約見自己人。 
上一代的同志還要左閃右避,雖然這一代的也不是全可以公開自己身分,但有不少也可以走得走得很前。 
當我見到一個年僅13歲的少女,在面書拍影片宣揚自己的身分,才發覺自己仍然閃閃縮縮真"老套"。 


明天應該可以讀完。

friends with benefits.




已經說了差不多一整年要看這部戲,今晚終於看了。
mila很動人,justin很有型。
劇情其實很老套,但就是拍得好看。
很多笑位,最後的幾幕很感動。
比natalie的no strings attached還要很看,雖然那一套我也很喜歡。

camp.

明天(今天?)出camp。
這幾天的lecture都很有趣,德文啦歐洲政治啦歷史啦文化啦,都是圍繞arts and humanities。
難得我每一課也很用心聽,沒有睡覺。
professors都很好,不是平日學校那種跟著投影片或筆記讀誦就算的老師。
也遇到了幾個有趣的arts students/ alumni。其實很想過他們的生活。
同組的組員都玩得很團結,很投契,今晚玩到1時半才捨得走。

不過這幾天,心情都有點怪。
不斷在想以前的事。
可能是有個組員跟她同名吧。
可能是arts faculty有個學生跟她很相似吧。
總之就有一股衝動去找她,成為了夢境的常客。
友人說past is past。
但如果有多一個機會,我會作一個不一樣的選擇。

另外,賈寶玉第三度公演。
只是再沒有人跟我去了。(苦笑)

fifty shades of grey.

i know i should be revising for my HKAAT exam but hell finals were just over and i needa little time off.
so, i've been reading fifty shades of grey.
the trilogy has suddenly gone wild among the best-seller lists and surprisingly knocked off harry potter as the fastest selling book.
therefore i was like: ok i will give it a try. however i now freaking regret it.
even accounting is more interesting than this book.

firstly, it was poorly written.
the book is written at twilight-level and i lost counts on the times the female character, Ana, refers to her inner goddness and her subconscious. Besides, she never stops blushing, flushing or biting her lips.
Moreover, do the characters talk, like at all? They only murmur and whisper which i find super annoying and unnecessary in many ways. seriously, any teenagers can write this book or u can simply bang ur head to the keyboard and va la! here's ur fifty shades of grey!

secondly, the story background is freaking weak.
am i suppose to believe the male character, Christian, who has sex almost everyday with Ana and rarely goes to work (even if he does, he constantly emails Ana), could have established himself as a billionaire and owns a sole proprietorship at the age of 26 by his very own hands without any help?
seriously what world does the author lives in?
and there's more - he is hot (which is mentioned by Ana almost every page), was adopted and brought up by parents of doctors. sounds familiar? yes his background is very identical to Robert in twilight and this is no incidence. Because this book is inspired by twilight and is as poorly written i can say.

if u look past the way too unrealistic backgrounds and the teenage-level monologues, the main idea is really not that bad. but the writer didnt know how to execute and organize her thoughts finely and result in such a disaster. it could have been much, much better.

All in all, i really did expected much in this book due to the fame it gained. well i was very, very wrong.
however i learnt i should never trust the selling figures (clearly i hvnt learnt from the mistake of the horrible twilights saga) and should revise accounting instead LOL. oh and never judge a book by its cover because the cover art is beautiful.

BUT i heard fifty shades darker and fifty shades freed, the part 2 and 3 of the trilogy are better than this as they start to explore more into Christian's background. therefore i decided to give them a try nevertheless of the poorly written part 1 that disappointed me deeply. of course, only after my HKAAT exam and my week staying at hku for the arts and humanities programme next week.
