the ups-and-downs

部落更新了。我突然难过地哭了。
不是因为部落更新而哭,是因为在最需要站出来说话的时候,在最紧急时刻你错过了,
在需要保护和捍卫最后一点点的立场的时候你什么都说不出来。

天父的心意是什么?好害怕.
兜兜转转你让我回来之后,你让我们回来之后,又再次被偷走了的又是什么?

我不明白我为何难过,这并不是一场生死决斗,
这没有和尊严扯上什么,我获得什么?我又会失去什么?这或许只是生命一小段挣扎,
一个别人选择下的信仰。

哭哭啼啼的,做了几年的基督徒,却不能为远方亲戚朋友帮上一点忙?

这信仰原本都不是一段好走的路,它不是因为好走,不是因为一切会变得顺利所以你相信。

路途中抵挡试探,诱惑,被信徒绊倒,被诚实话绊倒,被真理推翻,被世界影响,
灵性慢慢慢慢地消失。

不是我,我很好。
我的信心没有动摇,
我只是无助了。

要站起来,
要如鹰般不断在高空上盘旋,

求主把我的双眼先盖上,让它们因见你的真理你的爱,以你的视野看这一切方可挣开。
求主把我的双唇闭上,洁净它们,因它们不沾上任何人自私的话语,懂得如何说话了才开口。
求主把我的双耳封闭,让听进去的一切与你的真理厘清之后,等待你赐给我的智慧,
了解如何继续活出这生命。

Drawings (:

dear Xue ning, i am gonna randomly shared just a few of drawings to you. i have not finished taking all of them and it's a LOT!! haha. for the first few lessons we were introduced to do mark-makings, expressing your marks in different material,mostly dry and or ink (; 

As an artist,you also need to feel for yourself.PHYSICAL IMPACT + ATTACK ON PAPER)
sounds funny right (: 

Playing with positive and negative as well, drawing only the outline (contour line drawing) ,drawing with eyes closed, with two hands,with your memory, by looking only at the subject and not the paper AT ALL,drawing with both hands....explore a few weird ways and you will find them all interesting (:

the black black one on top we did it under spotlight, changing all the reflections of light to black, it was difficult at the beginning, Because the brighter it seems for the subject, the darker you have to make it in your drawing (:
 for the same bottles, we were asked to go against the traditional way of composition. The other three pieces are very weird, the whole big paper maybe there's only the cap of the bottle popping out from the bottom of the edge of drawing paper,THAT'S ALL !(: 

there's also one thing that we dont just sit far from still life, (still life can be anything around you,it's not something being purposely displayed in front of you).
We were encouraged to use our five senses when drawing, so you smell,you touch,feel,and express them in whatever ways, subjectively,objectively, or this want it called GESTURAL DRAWING -scribbling. 
(:

under spotlight too, this is "SHADOW CASTING". with charcoal and charcoal pencil.


this is done by soft pastel, i smudge it with my fingers (too smooth,some people thinks).
After taking photos from outdoor,we have to do a representational drawing,in A1 size.


(photo is blur ;( )
there's another one which we combine few things from different photos together again, but we have to have SELECTIVE FOCUS. 
Pastel+ charcoal


alright, this is real fun. before cutting this out, we have to draw in A1 size, considering the interlocking of space, overlapping, "push and pull" effects, contrast of tones,repetition, mark-making, texture,etc to complete the drawing(creating movements)...
then, you have to divide planes while drawing.
Finally cut them all out into pieces, "DARE TO DECONSTRUCT AND RECONSTRUCT",
,now it's based on your 心态 in contemporary composition,and your flexibility in looking at it. 
i have done a few attempts and this is my final decision. haha(: 


Lastly in pencil ,we have engine drawing. haha (: we took lots of photo from the car engine and we have to make one representational, and unlimited EXPERIMENTAL DRAWINGS on different disposed paper or cardboards,or wood you can find. using dry or wet materials, even prints, collage or whatever you can think off (:


well this is one of it, i printed out few pictures in black and white. before cutting them to stripes ,i used thiner to transfer the image to tracing paper,then i cut all the tracing paper to random shapes. for the picture, i cut them to stripes,mix them out, and combine each part to a different part. 
after sticking on the box, i used 8b pencil to draw some parts partially, then i sed bitumen to paint on top (:

this is the corner where i display my work for assessment and those you see in the picture are my different sizes of experimental drawing.
i even used white gesso spray and other materials.
show you one day (: 


thanks for your time <3


Paintings for semester 2 (:

there are seven different techniques,first row on the left is wet on wet. basically you paint from the colour that squeezed out from the tubes ,using them "fresh and immediate" and apply them layer after layer without waiting for the first few layers to get dry.

On it's right is called smooth blending. Just make it as smooth as possible.

the second row first one (most left) is called extended Alla Prima. It's a fast way of quickly protraying still life, required to finish as soon as possible. The layer should be thinner, but if you touch up and make it heavier textured, it's called "extended" Alla prima.

On it's right is called Rubbing. You paint the whole canvas board with a colour, then you use turpentine to rub out the colout tone and build form. Using cloth,brush,even your fingers.

Next one is called "glazing". a lot of western masterpieces used this method and that's why now you know it makes sense on painting for up to three years. It's possible. Because this method required you to glaze the colour layer  by layer. what we do for this is we colour it black and white, and if we want the colour orange,we glaze yellow, then another week red, following next week yellow again...goes on and on,never ending. We wont be able to finish it, but there's a way called Scumbling which you apply white again to touch up and make some parts lighter (:

Last row first is Alla Prima. I wasnt satisfied with it that's why i did the extended one.

Next to it is dry brush, you need to squeeze the colour on a newspaper and leave it dry for a few days only you apply on the canvas board (: 

Last one is abstract :" Impasto" is the name. You can docollage or make your own texture,then you paint it anyway. No subject-matter (: (: 
i sticked cloth,dry leaves,textured paper,and gesso before painting it.
Crazy stuff ;p


The next painting we were asked to go around taking photos of flowers,leaves,it has to be with foreground,middle ground,and background.
photo of this painting is not that clear. basically i came out with this composition with different photos.
This painting requires us to work on Impressionist, i chose Monet as artist reference and i used a lot of pallette knife in applying paints to create rough texture.
I do not think i have fully made it impressionist but it's just a guideline to work on this piece so it's still okay (: 
during the finishing process, actually the middle of the bunch of flowers weren't there from the beginning. But when it's almost done, lecturer said the main subject of this composition has formed a very obvious straight line.
(Cover with your hand and you'll see)
So it's not good in viewing for a tradisional way of composition,so i have to add a bunch of flowers that lead people's eyes to go down and go up again (:

The second one,same composition but we have to make it Expressionist or Fauvist(野兽派)
. I can say it's the beginning of making it ridiculous. The colours for everything is subjective, and i felt very awkward throughout finishing this thing. Yeah the colours are bright for fauvist, and it's also flat. 
Meant to be this way??
Till now i still cant really take it ;p

the last three were in bigger canvases. We have to make one indoor,one outdoor,and one with both. the requirement is either two needs to be impressionist,one has to be expressionist or fauvist again. and one composition has to be asymmetrical ,one symmetrical, one approximate symmetrical.

This composition was taken under the long railway that we took our dinner(xue ning) (: that time with Chris,qiu ning, remember??
Artist reference :Cezanne (post-impressionist)

The main thing that i take from Cezanne is a little of his brushstrokes style.
We always have a habit of our own brushstrokes style, every individual has one. And lecturer asked us to breakthrough and experiment more first before fixing on one. It wasn't easy,subconsciously you'll always go back to your own style.
So i chose a flat bigger brushstrokes for this painting.


Second one,artist reference Edgar Degas(Impressionist).
I have always felt that my colour need some improvements. So i chose a few of his paintings,get the colour in my mind,referring to his paintings while painting mine. Even the brushstrokes i loosen out and make it a little alla prima style (:
i love this the most ;p
But lecturer said it's a bit too grayish. There's one thing in oil paint, if you mix colours with white too much, as time passes by, your painting will eventually get grayish. But not so soon,slowly slowly..(:

another silly one~
I chose red and blue because it gives you a strong weird feeling when looking at it.
Artist reference: Henri Martisse( Fauvist and Expressionist)
As i progress on, lecturer kept saying it's not bold enough. So i have to try using weird colour combinations,weird things to complete this painting. i Created strange texture here and there ;p



thanks for your patience (:

如果线条不漂亮,那就用毕生去学习去发掘每个可能性,
如果画面太乱,就要舍得舍弃,保持简单追求平静,
如果奢望太高太多,就从新理解生命的中心看待永恒的礼物,
如果已无法懂得下一步该怎样,就坦然潇洒放手让主为你安排。


久违了的平静和安然,久违的潇洒,你回到我的身边了吗?

感谢主的力量,和感谢他的保守,让破裂的伤口复合,让波涛自己平息,
让诚实和坦白自己流露,
让快乐再次变得简单,
让简单变得满足。

虽然诱惑还是有,虽然还会蠢蠢欲动念念不忘,
虽然脑海的画面依旧清晰,
可是神会一直帮助我,我知道我知道。

不小心畅游

大概是第4堂游泳课了吧,一步一步我对于自己每一次的小突破而感到满足。
不管是不学自通或者是有一套的前后步骤,最后还是要放下心让自己听话地,轻轻地和水做朋友。
在水里憋气,悬在水中央带着蛙镜,拍动双手,伸展双脚,然后再冲上水面,喷水。
整个过程其实真的没有想太多,唯有让自己全心全意游动往前划动。

刚下水时胸口的确是闷了,它就像是被很多层裹布包围身体让自己重新把呼吸的节奏调整过来。
久而久之,就开始吸气,呼气,憋气,吐气,在水中上上下下,沉净。

今天游到黄昏,抬头浮游时眼见云朵很少,它们是泛粉红的。
我坐在泳池边缘,突然胸口没有了重心,呼吸变得很通畅。我叹了一口气,然后把手掌手指摊开抚摸水面,这种感觉我很喜欢,一直都很喜欢。
低头思考,我也不晓得该怎么诠释一种束缚被解开,可是残留那几根拉扯着我的线条。

每次在学长姐第6层公寓冲洗后一定嚷着要到那阳台上吹风,静心。
这次已慢慢敲醒了夜晚,月亮和街灯的颜色很相近,让人产生错觉。月亮慢慢从云朵之上升起,再躲到云朵后。
我不奢望让自己站得太高,也许和对面的办公大楼一样高,足以让我瞭望全景,看看上面,看看下面,寻找和我内心有所感动的画面和角落,记在心里。
柏油路的直线同时也浮了上来,它就像INCEPTION影片里的路一样升起,然后通往另一个角度的视野。

听到很多不同轻重的声音,犹如内心的声音一样,那么多。。。多地偶尔自己也听不清楚。
突然想起最近尽可能不要再到面书张扬,我知道用词也许不当,可是我好像太依赖这管道。与其和世界千万种不同的声音一同大声唱,或许有些东西默默在心里哼就好了。
我们都看似只是纯粹在发泄,可是我们也在争,或大或小,尽管你的心态多正确,到最后你依然轻易被牵引。
如此现实地影响着,也提醒了我有些声音好像被你忽略了,有些声音好像不能从这管道方可听见。

我的声音,也有所保留着。
时间,也静静地守着。
虽然迟了,可是我看到定时炸弹悄悄倒数着呢

我的小灵鹿

这辆小灵鹿,一直都是属于我的,属于我们的。
它虽然没有活生生的伴随我们做每一个选择,走每一条路,可是它忠实地跟了,

一辈子。


忘了多久没有遇到小灵鹿了,今天见到它时为它一身被重新喷上的白漆而兴奋。

里面坏的,还是没好,可是必须修补的,都已经努力修补了。
里面抹不掉的痕迹,让它们留着吧,它们都是一生中带不走的短暂。

我19 岁,小灵鹿16 岁了。那个车牌号码也快要成为一个生命的标记了。
3岁躲在前座座位上,19岁换了一换,你变成司机了,可是隔壁是空荡荡的。

你曾经把小手放在方向盘上帮忙控制,你曾经为了她而扭头当“看有没有车“的小伙子。
你曾经把手放在gear上,大手握着小手控制着前进的速度。
你喜欢每一次她突然伸出手而拍拍你或握着你的小动作。
你总爱把上完课后的小贴纸贴满车内,这些都是我的领域!
你会把很多卡带放在抽屉里,心情是什么就唱什么歌。
走长途时,她会和你闹闹说:“不要睡觉,唱歌给我听,陪我聊天嘛。”

请不要忘记每次停电时,即使是深夜,你们两个也会躲在车内吹冷气,让蜡烛自己燃烧吧。
还有每一次你们快乐洗车时,你多么刻意往水喉口冲去然后坐在满是肥皂的桶上面让自己的屁股变得湿湿的。
尴尬地在一年级放学时躲在车里用奶瓶喝凉水,失败时在车里一起和她哭,吵架时在车里面苦苦忍受,成功时一起在车里分享,被唠叨时在车里忍耐。。。

我越想越多,车里面到底累积了什么?
回忆,回忆,请求你们不要离开。
我的好多东西一直被你承载着,好好保管着。。。

亲爱的小灵鹿,原来我比想象中更想你哦。

每个急转弯,每个快速奔驰或悠闲开驰的路程,
我们走了多远?
还有多远?
可以多远?



请偶尔和我说声,
“你一直都在。”

用言语肯定我,
因为存不存在,可以变得很抽象。

游乐园

星期六的傍晚,游乐园显得太安静,有点孤单。我走在马路中间被前方的摩多吓了一会儿回过神来发现那一点沮丧的气息。秋千离滑梯很远,滑梯离跷跷板很远,它们之间的距离,只需要小孩子的一点快乐成分就能轻易被重组起来。它们顿时让我想起一些被遗弃的小东西,在被压抑的地方蠢蠢欲动一直等待那爆发的时刻。

虽然不说,可是我好像听到它们的心声:“隐藏的你,安静的你,冷酷的你,忙碌的你,害怕的你,徘徊的你,把每一个你暂时放下,给我一点时间和空间,来,过来我身边,陪我玩玩,好吗?”

礼拜天早晨和下午很快地度过,一本书重新提醒我,“生命的中心不在于我”。我的存在不是偶然,可是若只将重心放在自己身上你绝不可能完成生命中的意义和你的使命。
我好想一直站在那里一直赞美,因为心中的疲惫一个一个星期这样拖下去我实在无法忍受。

姐妹说得很好,不要把一些事情当作理所当然,甚至有时候在某种情况下你更加要理智地明白你是否需要在某种习惯下挣扎,是否可以滥用别人对你的这种习惯。总结来说,变得坦然。
你不想恨,其实你爱得太多才能导致恨,可是爱的反义词是 冷漠。
所以今天你告诉你自己,就像"fireproof" 戏里的问题"how can you keep on loving someone when you were being rejected?"
这个问题一被发问,就是一种觉悟。
神,一直召唤我们,而这么多年了,你可曾想过你离弃他的4年里,他,依然爱着你。
就算他的安排是把你心爱的人带走,可是他的旨意,他的恩典拣选了你,这一切远超过了世上的事。
他明白你的软弱,他明白你在一次一次被冷落后的失望。

祷告,让每一份感动每一份爱一直充满心中。
祷告,不是要神完成你心中的意愿,而是如何使用我完成他原本的心意和安排。
祷告,神在我的软弱中大大彰显他的大能。
祷告,为着一切已变成理所当然的事统统抹去一切归为零,重新充满感激,因为这一切原本都不是我们应得的。。。

我爱你。
不改变。

渴慕

你现在渴慕什么?

这几天每当躺在床上闭上双眼时不由自主地渴慕着一片朵朵白云的蓝天和青翠的草原。
顿时真的有一股冲动跳下床往屋外奔去然后一直无竭尽的跑,尽管气喘呼呼,尽管披头散发,
就是想要一直跑,长跑,我想要长跑,因为我决定坚持,因为我明白自己有多么糟糕。这种冲动实在很难受,它让我不明白什么是治安问题。下午4点时分你很想要慢慢地走,放慢节拍好好散散心,可是一股声音一直告诉你:“注意旁边,注意车辆,注意这个那个。。。”你突然很想大喊:“还我一片宁静很难吗?”然后内心抖擞了一下,因为你骂的,好像是你自己。

Starbucks coffee的绿茶甜得刚刚好,我没有对它有更大的渴慕。那种刚刚好的满足感就行了。
也许会忘了不该恨自己气自己,所以今早脑袋冒出一大堆重新学习什么是爱的话。
"i may have not have everything, but if i do not have love i am nothing."
"love is not based on feelings,based on determinations"
"it's not about my feeling,it's about my decision"
"you can't love because you do not have love,you can't give something you don't have"
"don't just care about my rights and my needs"
"don't follow your heart,lead it, because your heart will be deceived"
"destroy your heart addiction"
"it's a covenant,not a contract."

很容易,太容易陷入身边可以让我渴慕的东西,导致失去或者小小的东西变成了胸口的一个伤口,深得拼命挤出泪滴。因此我渴慕,每一刻跪下的时候,主啊,恳请你让我明白我该渴慕的是什么。
脆弱会降临我,软弱,无助,愤怒,失望,不满足,不感恩,忘记真理,统统它们都会绊倒我。
我在渴慕,我在寻求你的帮助。

我知道,所以我等待。

虽然。。。
我真的依然渴慕那片蓝天
和草原

简。爱

这些影片中的画面在脑海里徘徊很久。
这些画面与当年的文字和想象重逢了。
它们没有离开,那一刻那一秒的气氛还在。

很多年前初中的时候,母亲开始在图书馆借了好多英文刊物,它们都是附上一个边读边听的cd. 看过Romeo and Juliet, The Scarlet Letter, Frankenstein, A Christmas Carol,Jane.Eyre等等。记忆已不再犹心,只能隐隐约约怀念那每个早晨或下午,把自己锁在宿舍办公室里然后坐在最靠近播音器的小沙发上,阳光从背面窗口随着微风照进心坎,白色的窗帘还在飘动,内心被这一篇篇这样的故事牵动,有时惊心,有时充满诗意,有时皱眉头去想象,有时跟着播放器里的小小storyteller一起朗诵,有时停顿呼吸,把句子重复地看上几遍。

如今这一连串的感觉让我无法容纳一个句号,它也为这个夜晚添上一种说不出的感伤。

当初在读简。爱的时候,无法完全深刻地领会里头带来的复杂情感,带来的那种自我尊重和保护,她为什么撕心裂肺狂野地奔跑和追求,他的爱的尊严,他们到最后惊醒的梦。虽然,虽然现在也没办法摸透。可是多年前完全凭空想象的每个画面,我将它们一点一点地烙印在脑海里,此刻美妙的是,把它用影片的方式回味,你会发觉自己其实离想象不远,你的内心愉快地说:“看吧看吧,没有错啊。你没看到你皱着眉头看影片吗?一样的诗情画意,一样的感受啊!”

You started with running,
running wild, without knowing where to stop.
You almost died,
but you remembered you were being loved,
love, that's in an imaginary world around us.
You began to smile,
you willingly struggle and you kissed.
You threw it away,
although it's tearing you pieces by pieces,
apart.
You were saved, 
with all your heart be thankful and grateful,
but finding and recognizing this love,cannot be love.
You started with running,
running wild, 
but this time you stopped,
paused, 
awakening a dream in a blind man's hug.
Back to where you jumped off and thought you would never come back,
but turning back,
to where your heart truly lies.

两天:早晨时分

我喜爱微电影,却不会厌恶时间冗长的艺术片或其他影片。
我喜爱微型小说,短而有震撼力的诗,也喜爱一些作者长篇大论的文笔, 而我往往无法让自己写很长很长又吸引人的故事,要我记载一些对话一些小情节有点难堪。
因此,我在尝试。

一觉醒来手机荧幕显示8点,一直学不会什么是电话辐射的怪小孩。突然想起昨天忘记告诉你我梦见了你一起去旅行,想起昨晚和干爹的对话。你告诉了他你如何这个okay那个okay,多么明白多么知道他除了相信还是相信然后偷偷顾虑和祷告,而你其实有时候自己也没有真正相信自己。再睡下去也没什么意思了,安静地爬下床后寄了一封无声的短讯。

梳洗时满脑子全是今天明天自己一个人想做的事,想要慢慢自己消遣时光。扎起头发,颈项微微的红斑还没有退,这是对宇宙万物看不到摸不着的物质而起的敏感作用。有点痒,在镜子前懊恼更没有意思,我没有治愈的念力。

捧着一大袋堆积多天的衣服到Lily's laundry,肯定地认为Rm7洗和烘干特别划算。途中负责清理我们住家区域杂草和苔藓的马来年长工作人员见到我后微笑着说:" Selamat pagi moi". "Selamat pagi". 我微笑了。

也许有些人会等待别人先对他们微笑,也许有些人存心不想微笑,也许有些人会是被动的那一类型,可是我相信有一种是你从心底散发的一种友善的魅力,让身边的人可以在看到你时主动对你微笑。我喜欢这一种。

7 eleven里购买了Nescafe kopi mocha和ayambrand deli spread为早餐,第一次乘坐德士快乐上学去。我刻意把脚翘高,座位上似乎有一排刺刺痛着穿着短裤的双腿,同时瞄一瞄马来西亚德士的条规和客户权利的贴纸。
终于,师傅开口说话了。

我坚持相信世上还有另一种友善的魔力,就是能让人主动和你说几句话的力量。
因此我这次演了一场广东话的话剧,说得连自己也吓到的流利。(爱面子)

我们知道了彼此的祖籍,知道了他驾了70多年的德士。

“Uncle,有没有想过退休?”
“没有退休咯,做到死为止。。”
我在后座偶尔只能看见“唇语”,没听懂。。。
“做teksi的没钱赚咯,看到很多美女罢了咯,只能看没得吃,哈哈哈。。好像你这样的美女咯。。”
“哇。。thank you Uncle... ”
“哈哈。。。不要怪我讲这么粗的话。。。。你的boyfriend咧?”
“蛤?我没有boyfriend啦哈哈。。。”(就知道一定会来这一套)
“你酱靓某boyfriend,没有给机会人是不是?”
“哈。。呃,有的。。。。。。”(这种问题太不好回答。。。)
再谈谈他家有2个女儿,再说我们这一代的人迟迟不结婚,。。。。。到校了。

五块钱,我们再见(:

沉淀

思绪沉淀
沉淀了很多杂物。。。

瓶底震荡
开始悬浮的杂物。。。

往脑子里乱碰撞

怀疑去处

怀疑初衷

有点迷失。。。

有点安静。。。

脑子里有一个画面,
一个人在水里憋得快晕过去了,冲上水面很努力地吸,呼,吸,呼。

钱包出血

美丽的周末把我带进了KLCC的KINOKUNIYA书店.前阵子晚上在家时虽然有些关于绘画或教育的书籍阅读,可是读着读着,腻了。

突然想来点幽默风趣文学性书籍加一杯玛奇雅朵,或者一些可以细心品味文字的风格加一杯Mocha ice-blended. (白开水最好。。)

走到文学部门,三毛的书就是会让我爱看又不想看的感觉。我记得第一次买的“稻草人的微笑”是因为在中国书店因贪小便宜而买下让自己尝试开始读。结果,读入味了。
可是却没有那股想再买的冲动,直到1 Malaysia project赠送book voucher,我在别无选择下买了第二本“永远的宝贝”,结果发现非常值得一看(:
这次我主动寻找三毛的书,好不容易翻了几本,吸引我的是“雨季不再来”一书。
我相信我会爱上你的(:

往书架下一格再看,人二雄发出了一种信号。 它躲在最里头,成为不起眼的最后一本破烂书,庆幸里面完好无缺。这本名为“人二雄路线-奥客之道”,是2008年出版的。
虽然已经隔了很多年,可是那文字依旧散发不可抗拒的魅力,捧在手里,放不下了。。。

完蛋。。。

写到这里,我后悔了,后悔自己不该再往下个部门走去的。。

艺术部门位于较高书架上的书通常会让人错过了,除非你真的从上到下认真地去翻找书中情人。 可是怎么办,鲜红色的书封面在我仰视45度,向一桶水从高空洒下来,很戏剧化地踮脚,看着标题“艺术市场探秘”,翻一翻,“天啊!我好想要。。书中的黄金哦。。。。。!!!!”
我的确呐喊了。
这是一本关于艺术拍卖会,定价值,讲评等等的书,对正在进一步了解绘画的人是很有益处的。
同时,另一把声音在说“你看得懂吗你?”

结果我把三毛的书放了回去,转身走几步后决定离不开你。
我站在原地思考自己有多需要人二雄文字的味道,愣了好久,一直在想值不值得呀。因为询问后,这本书虽然封面有瑕疵,可是没有折扣。然后心里挣扎着。。

最后把三本书放在柜台,再问一次,仁雄的书真的不能折扣?过意不去嘛。
结果苦瓜脸一摆,掏出钱包,
血滴溅在白雪上。。。
才突然发现,书皮的瑕疵,或者纸的素质虽然真的可以用来考虑值不值得,
可是当你真正的爱上他的文字后,你会觉得这一切还是值得的。
我买的是精神,经验,文字!


每次买书后总会突然有很多双眼睛在告诉我:“你最好也出一本书,而且是要畅销的,全为了补回你花在买书上的金钱,知道没有知道没有知道没有??!!”

吸气, 呼气。。。

Saturday, May 12, 2012

快吧?它不会慢下来的。。

2012年说,“快吧?3年了。。”
2013年说,“快吧?4年了。。”
2014。。。
2015。。

母亲节到了,我没有特别意识到,该忏悔的是吧?
面书上爱心满满,感动满满,,大家都在分享爱的话语,照片等等(:全都加入了行列。

这种陌生,好久了。。
怎么办?

妈,母亲节快乐。

对,我们曾说要去好多好多地方,可是从来没有认真地安排过。
妈,感谢神的恩典,我能够踏足好远好远的地方。。。

今晚让我,从“心”对你说;“我们的爱,永不分离。”

男人帮(:

“男人帮”30集连续剧我终于看完了(:(听室友说第2季出来了?!)
每一集都那么地让我觉悟一些爱情里的小小道理,小小看似不是问题的问题,
狠狠地往现实捅一刀。

29集其实就是场大结局,可是他们把大结局的故事重改一遍而有了第30集的大结局。
所以你一共看了两个结局(:
29集大多以不完美的方式散场,而30集比较讨人喜欢,因为它也许是心中最原始渴望的结局。
不过呢,两者都是很现实地发生,它们显示了可能会发生和影响一切故事的发展。

它让我有一种特别微妙的感觉,似乎自己现在的每一个呼吸,每一个动作,每一个言语,每一个决定突然更加敏感起来,
因为它,改变未来的一切,
可大可小的变化。

说不定你只是跑错一个方向,
说不定你恰好鼓起勇气说了出来,
说不定你觉悟地更早,
说不定你又想起了,

不要只顾及自己的感受,这样你只会一直爱上不同的人,而你忘了那初衷,忘了承诺,
爱要经营,要坚守。
真的,你爱的和爱你的,加上适合你的,不需要追求最好的,
或许只是看你,何时才决心真正地认真走和坚决一场爱情(:


男人帮,是套不错的片子。

“每一个你真心对待过的人,都是调好时间的定时炸弹。”
“不只是要让她感动,而是要让她发自内心地心动,因此你不要只是花心思在她身上,而是花在自己身上。”

“送你8 个字,无微不至,不动声色(:”

燃烧

早晨五点,为了完成一个自己已经开始的作品,
蹲在屋外烧火柴。一小堆的火柴。

感叹他们只是轰轰烈烈地燃烧不到几分钟,最后变成灰烬。
感叹他们为什么这么脆弱? 为什么这么容易被扭曲?

刺鼻又刻骨铭心。。

满身烟味,弥漫在空气走不出来。

只觉得这是一个重新的提醒,
我很认真的看一个事物却没法认真去完成地话问题是出在哪里??
我真的很想认真地长跑一次。

偶尔无法抵挡一时的冲动,
偶尔依旧渴望那奇妙的瞬间变化,
偶尔会忘了。。该追求的不是那短暂的。。。

有些东西,活在这世上烧一烧就不见了。。

所以我不要像跟火柴。。

我希望可以

让火一直蔓延
一直燃烧

直到永恒。


你呢?

没有什么原因之下想回家

打了通很短的电话,确定了4月回家的时间,那次一回,应该就是到5月26日了(;
那个月的时间,一定也会充满很多思念,很多在吃饭时间就会想起的那些小动作(:

室友很疲倦,鼻子也塞住了,9点半爬上床睡觉。
我很精神,可是脑袋卡住了,这块布暂时画不下去。

你在哪里?
心飘了去哪里?
飘回去了家中的温暖?还是飘洋过海到将要出国旅游的地方?
还是。。只想突然来个很温暖的拥抱还是什么的。。


妈妈,倒数9天(;
你今年。。几岁了?
我似乎没有想要计算的意愿,
因为。。
你一直都在(:

如果不必担心治安和车辆,我会不会躺在那马路上看着那毛茸茸的树干?(:

工作过,了解读书有多愉快。
虽然要做的东西一样多,可是一直都很享受在这里的日子。
这个diploma course, 在这里的时间。。绝对一辈子留恋(:

什么都想尝试的心态很愉快,
想尝试一个人去排长龙买不懂有什么特别的汉堡包,
想尝试一个人在秋千晃前晃后直到屁股疼的感觉,
想尝试知道会冒险伤痛,却好似不懂得理智思考地向那熟悉的影子向前靠,
想在哪一个周末偷偷一个人溜进电影院看戏,出来时会不会变成木头人?(:

朋友说得没错,即使知道会后悔,
可是依然会渴望去做,
然后让自己真正体验那后悔的感觉。

想找个人拍下我很无奈地站在路牌旁等福音车,
昨晚开始决定慢慢往福音车来的方向走去,然后看到车后来个往路中跳去,
惊喜好玩丫(:
想到coursemate们的家乡去拜访, 骑脚车吹风(:
想憋在水里,开着眼睛,然后不懂看什么;p
想要一班人一同去浪漫溜冰,应该不只是我会摔吧?

一切,都很愉快,
有些已经完成了,有些在打算着,
一定会实现的(:

一针见血

今天的painting assessment 终于结束。其实并没有紧张,只是好想好想知道评审们怎么想。

弱点在哪里还是旁人会更容易指出,弱点就是。。
我卡住了。。

或许文字也是,音乐也一样,通通都暂时卡住了。
我没有害怕,只是难免会在想下一步要迈向的突破该怎样?

不管你是有绘画底子进来学院,或是一张白纸,其实都逃不了。
你没有基础,你走不远。
你有了基础,你受了一些局限。

讲师在评审完后和我们一个个讲解她的观点,指出我们可以进步的空间。

我开心的是,她更清楚让我认识了自己在水彩上的程度。
我一直自觉不满意,总觉得能够发挥的为什么只有这样。

讲师也提醒了我要突破,多长时间她不清楚,方法她也不会直接告诉我。
答案只有,不断摸索,不断练习。
还有就是,再调配出你不曾或不常使用的颜色。(;

一针见血是我最欣赏她的一点,
这支针,我反而更希望她插得更深。
这样,才会进步(:

我应该说,艺术是在每迈进一步就回归零从新出发吗??

在每一次开始前都能从空白做起,
心情也很潇洒很坦然地从新面对,
把所看 所想 所感受 全部通通过滤 
从零再发挥(;


我能够这样说吗?

加油(:

习惯有你(:

习惯一个人,还是习惯     一个人? 小休起来后刚要开口叫室友的名字时:“静。。”
拉开窗帘。。。还以为你会说一声才走掉;(

每次起身的时候,还是喜欢有个人在身边让我可以叫一下名字,打个招呼,或听到有人叫你一声,不管是早是晚,或是炎热的午后。

每当一个人的时候,我就会180度转变,怎么变我还真的不会说(;

也许就是嘴巴封闭或者一直哼着歌,
摸摸那个老唱机,它还敢跟我挑要播放的唱片诶。。
还有对着风扇说:“乖,现在只吹我一个人, 头低一点点。。太低了。。转过来一点。。不要扭到。。。。。。。” *不正常 ;p

就是那种。。
不管你怎么努力和身边的非生物炒热气氛,
还是会一样冷清(:

天花板的老鼠像打雷一样闪过。
一只?一群在马拉松赛跑?

“你最好不要在这种时候吓我。。。”(:

打结的神经线

铁线对手指的刺痛,痛得像小红蚁叮你的那瞬间,真的够。。(保持文雅;p )

小时候在婆婆的店玩wire, 玩钢线,拉出来后再转回去并没有带来后天性对线的敏感度。
我妈在我初中时曾教我缝徽章,每次在最后打死结时一定讽刺我笨手笨脚哟,不灵活。。
哎哟。。。

我其实也忘了几时和怎样学会帮Ribbon 和绑辫子。高中时期如何绑二胡的千金线,换二胡和小提琴的弦,怎么做到的? ( 暗爽)
咦,千金线怎么绑了?

今天我尝试做讲师吩咐的铁线五角形模型。从不会剪铁线到将他们合并,一直压抑着说:“绝不能发牢骚,而且我绝对有理由和耐性继续热血地做下去。。”
(呻吟);(

一直转圈圈的铁线转出了  脑袋里打死结的神经线
(手指竖起送给自己)

老师有感而发靠近我分享了几句话,
除了提醒我要记得整个模型伸展时的稳定性和架构才决定设计以外,也告诉我不能单靠随意表现,一定要有 学问    有架构   有分析和理解   ,艺术品价值才高。


当然单纯表现的作品依然被欣赏和尊重, 然而你必须先十分了解一切基础,能够把想象的东西完全画出来后,
往前走一步抽象表现,别人才看得出你绝对不只是情绪化乱发挥。你的基础和经验带你去到艺术的另一个境界(:
(揉揉眼睛,在课堂有点憔悴)

一番良言让我知道讲师很强大,在美国念艺术的生活的经历一定很精彩。

加油呗!
一直走
一直前进
一直玩艺术

一直玩下去!!!><"

抓不了你的特质

在art and design fundamental 里面, 最基本的就是了解我们身边的一切都是由点,线,面组成的。当讲师抛下第二份大工程让我们构图完成时,一开始我并不觉得有什么问题,可是讲师一针见血地说中了要害。我所做出的sketching图并没有很好地带出线的性质, 我只是设计了一些图案,将不同的线条放进去而已。

我刹那间领悟她希望我们能够理解的线条哲理,因此在想我是该回去静坐沉思?

我没有搞懂线条奥妙的性质,要画出只有线可以表达到的信息,只有线可以画出的美感,
到底是什么??

又或者我已经想太多,如果用小孩的立场涂鸦应该就是一个不错的构图,
可是竟然还做不到“简单”。。总觉得是不是少了点,是不是表现得不够。

第二次的尝试我已经完成了正式的构图,
删减许多后的完成品依然还是“线条填充”。。

只有小部分是用线条迷惑眼睛。。

(吞口水

哎哟。。莫名其妙耶

小心翼翼

早上起床,你小心翼翼地从double-decker 上面爬下床,小心翼翼地不把milo 粉倒出杯外,小心翼翼地把苹果切片。
然后小心翼翼地明白神要从圣经告诉你什么。

上学后,你小心翼翼地做每一件事情,小心翼翼地提醒自己不要疲倦不要叹气,小心翼翼地认真画画,小心翼翼地告诉自己不可以忘记这些都为了什么,
小心翼翼地说每一句话,小心翼翼地做一个人。
然后小心翼翼地对待身边的一切。

回到家, 你小心翼翼地写下要完成的任务,小心翼翼地让自己把衣服洗完后打从心底微笑,
小心翼翼地再说我们可以为每一件完成的事拍手,小心翼翼地不让雨滴感染你的心情。
然后小心翼翼地对突如其来的事而镇定。


圆月下,有点困,不再叽喳,想与沉默玩个游戏。
怪怪的心情,想放任不再小心翼翼地收藏压迫再收藏。

睡觉前想让自己不小心翼翼地说:“有关系,不是      没关系。”

because of time...you will notice even more deeper and clearer that it's time to wait and look for..

i need to wait too...

i told someone i am not in the mood for that. ain't jealous or envy, somehow not into that yet because i am still adapting to the environment (:

God will show when it's the way ..

He will, it's His unchanging promise.

Honestly knowing the truth and found  yourself wasting tears for something that you have misunderstood is funny, very naive ...but you grew up one night (:

i swept away the dry leaves ,
trying to gather them but i failed,
they scattered over and over again,
trying to chase after each of them,
so i decided,
for the moment i will walk away,
leaving them here and there...

Shhh.. a sacred secret (:

When is the last time i had love movie marathon ?? Can't really recall actually (:
I wanna finish watching them all before school starts again because you just have to get back to your track and wake up from some little nice dreams or imaginations (:
..though i believe there can be miracle in this (:..

"p/s:i love you" was truly awesome and beautiful, far beyond what i have expected.
You can see from my swallon eyes if you were here last night when i watched ;p

The story tells how the husband made a perfect arrangement secretly during his treatment on brain tumor and start giving the wife different surprises when he left her...

I wondered, if mum had done this too, haha...too dramatic...
and wow,this kinda husband is way too awesome ><

THUMBS UP BABE (: !!!

the second one was "the notebook" from the author Nicholas Spark.
I have supported three novel, first is "a walk to remember","dear john" and yeah...the notebook (:

It was pretty simple, kinda predictable, but beautiful and exciting to see how both get together through it all.
Writing letters aren't easy.. it's so wonderful to write...  yet fragile too (:
When they turn to old grannies, the husband read their own love story to his wife who slowly lost her memory ,and the story was written long ago from the wife,dedicated to the husband.
The last page says," read to me, and i will come back to you."

mmm(: sweeett (:

I am gonna go for one more tonight and that's all for this holiday break (:

oh and..tomorrow is Sunday...gonna bid farewell ><"
I hope to see you real soon and remember to say it back (:

p/s : leave it all to God

The Last Will

What is the feeling of reading someone's last will??
What is the feeling of writing "your last will"??

During this Chinese New Year break, finally we take action to settle everything that has been "abandoned " for quite some time. Although it's not all settled, but at least things are progressing.

Why it took me 3years to finally hold the will in my hand?

I remembered few years back,i struggled and frustrated to settle all this because i just don't understand why do i have to learn it when everybody else do not have to even bother...
But i thank God, i know it is a special opportunity to just experience it first and learn from there.

Although i am naive in handling this, but He sent people to guide me along this way.
Forgive me if i have shown an annoyed face when you asked me to settle this but i have grown since then.

Tears almost fell reading the will..
It's not a paper with fancy words,
not a letter of beautiful touching words.

It's just filling in who you have assigned people to take care of your property, just filling in the blanks with names..

just a sentence filling your only daughter's name and a familiar signature..
the end of it..

How far can you imagine someone has to write the last will so sudden and prepare the way...

"The Last Will"

three words that took me so long to do some thinking...
Mum, thank you. I will take up the responsibility.

It's Sunday morning (: are you ready to arise and celebrate with your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ today ?
What time did you sleep last night??
Did you struggled before sleeping ??
I did actually (:
Maybe it was because you're on holiday, you get your mind stuffed up with so many things and thoughts...

Not easy ..><

but anyway (: let's start off today praying first for your family,singing and dancing before Him (:

p/s: i could survive without my dear black alarm clock (: it was a great joy founding it this morning. even if someone volunteered to be your human alarm clock, well you'll be happy for hearing his/her voice when you wake up but maybe he/her just want you to say :"i tak sampai hati larr (: you take your rest larh ya (:"
The air-cond teared again, maybe it just misses me too much .
Well, how are you feeling this chinese new year ??
Do you feel empty?
Do you hate the chinese new year songs ?
Do you feel excited??(:

It started off quite good, it started off on this day, Beautiful saturday (:

In 2011 i can seldom breath and relax every saturday, in fact it was the most tiring day teaching from morning to night.
Today was a nice one having a break back in ipoh and the kind of holiday mood has begun in this festive season.
It was nice , short sweet and simple outing with a few of them.
Having lunch in David's Diner, appetizers in Haagen Dazs, a bit of walking in Jusco and soaking in the rain.
It was not as planned but it was good, because you never expexted too much of it.
All you have to do is just smile, smile and keep smiling .
The cooling feeling of coffee mint still remains, the pace of footsteps walking on the same route with the same person remains rhythmic and peaceful.

The only troublesome thing is there's always something you need to be reminded of,
something that you cant go near right now,
something that you could just get addicted right away like a cup of Cadbury hot chocolate.

And so here i am, scratching my head working on a fence.
Build a fence instead of a wall, at least i could reach out to you and see you as someone i know.
At least i know i can say, " I'll see you soon then(:"
And maybe you could say it back. 

God, it was a beautiful day indeed. It cannot be compared to the ice cream in the hot chocolate ,it was just a day that could have not happened anymore. I know everything has a price to pay and i must be willing to pay for it,so God i rely on you to guide me, only Your ways and plans will lead me to what is destined. I just wanna throw away what i think or expect or thought and continue surrendering it to You.
Thank You God (:

take a small step, take it easy and sweet (:

p/s: Please don't make me guess,can you (: ??i do not hope to miss out anything i wanna hear.

我这个女生步入深圳中心书城双脚发软,口吐白沫。
音乐中心和艺术中心半天也走不完,怪不得有些人情愿在里头睡个午觉。时间紧凑精神欠佳,不需要医生嘱咐也知道不能逛下去,大概会精神分裂。

文学部门还未碰到我们已经拍拍屁股离开,书城里我什么都没买到,因为我迷路了,失去了方向感,忘了自己需要什么。

下次回来时我先要搞清楚书城里的迷宫,安排时间,列下清单,还有配上一对千里眼去寻找那一片汪洋的书海。


与生活一样,我们需要清楚自己寻找的东西,寻找到创造万物的他,才能寻见。

香~~~港???

如果你打算跟着超过10个人的团体去香港的话我劝你还是免了。。。免了!

香港一个这么小的地盘,拥挤狭窄岂能容纳上万多人,白的黄的黑的还有不晓得什么颜色的一块儿浸泡在丝袜奶茶里什么香味都不见。
我们家庭成员27人往这个地方朝拜去简直是苦差,
深怕哪一个走散,哪一个迷路,哪一个被撞*,精神非常紧绷。
(*在中国或香港,青灯是飞快车,黄灯是更快,红灯是小心一点地驾驶,停呢?)

车子没地方停泊,餐厅难找座位,天空少了一大半,说来说去我倒是还未找到那里有哪一点好。。。


哀哉,下次拜访你时再细心探索哦。

半面过新年

月台3 号车厢内,我戴着口罩坐在座位上。身边那3位体积庞大的男生,一个20左右,一个30左右,一个50左右把我夹得动弹不得。身体90度挺直,腿和小腿90度伸展。
如果把汉堡包当作例子,我是那层最没有高度的溶化芝士片。

怪咖,我不舒服耶,深圳已经发生H5N1人亡事件你知道吗?!

我发觉旅行时会染上的病一直在重复,
从台北,上海到深圳,我会突然身体发热,头一点疼,身体乏弱,或是有点作呕的冲动,但往往会在休息后就痊愈。

可怜的,我可是在跨年半遮面,梦里倒数。。。。
你披上了谁的关心?
披上了谁的面具?
谁的爱慕? 谁的思恋?

你披上了谁的期待?
披上了谁的习惯?
谁的自由?谁的不自由?

我的身上,
披上了谁的围巾,
体贴又温暖的信号(:

那一夜

马戏团座位上捏完一把冷汗,很感动,相较于爱情片,这是另一种感动。
两年前一样的人?一样的动物?
表哥说得没错:“这是他们的专长,没必要换了。”
我眼前欣赏的不是纯粹一种表演,而是职业。

两年后的他们不论在外形上,表演方式上都作了一些改变,对于患上短期失忆症的我来说,还算是焕然一新。

其实我们不能完全记得那些每晚浓妆后的演员和身穿全黑的工作人员,
每一个不能出错的步伐,每一个用外表欺骗我们这些是极为简单的动作。

他们的生活让我有暂时性的新鲜感,是我很想揭开的谜团,一层层五颜六色帐篷里的故事等待被我聆听。


生活有时逃不了重复一个动作,一个规律,你要努力去适应,改变再适应。

那一夜, 是美好的夜(:
有些人能够在看不见的空间里看得到某些情景。
我在看不到对方的空间里,看到脚踏车前后的座位,
看见一对一样的球鞋在走动,
看见公车上肩与肩的相贴,
自此,我开始幻想,与另一半一起旅行时

依旧看不见的甜蜜。

怀旧

巴士在一路上不停地紧急刹车,你匆匆忙忙赶着去哪里吗?
我呢?这次有没有太匆忙地出门?
2011年的年尾旅行让我有熟悉的感觉,因为如果说旅行是透了恋爱似地出发,那我也是回到初恋的地方怀旧。

两年了,广州变了多少?深圳和香港会是让我内心蠢蠢欲动向往的地方吗?

2009年我在广州穿的衣服现在依然穿在身上,颜色褪色了,价值不同了。
我相信这次的旅行价值在于家庭旅行时每个人如何扮演他或她应当的角色。
即使不是和你有直接关系的家庭成员(干爹的哥哥的妻子的父母),你又如何去照顾去沟通?

去广州的这一段路,也曾经有男女初恋的思念和兴奋的回忆搅动着,回忆以一种可怕的眼神望着时光,只存留一点浪漫的基因让我重新出发(:
