J-movie festival

Always been a big fan of movie festival,
ever since my first  contact with it back in college time.

GSC is having another J-movie festival,
but the duration is too short and
some of the movies I wished to watch falls on working period.
=S

Viewed the movie list,
and luckily, a few could be found online.
=D YATAA!

One of them is
《箱入り息子の恋》
(literally translation : Love of a Son who's in a box) 

I don't usually watch a lovey dovey kind of movie,
except those with unusual topic of study.
where the main stream society don't want to touch on.
《箱入り息子の恋》 is a good example.

It's about Kentaro, a 35-year-old otaku,

who is antisocial, weird, alone
and goes back home for every office lunch break.


meeting Naoko, a beautiful lady,

who's also in the crisis of finding the right match 
due to her vision impairment since 6, 
and lower ability to live independently.
Not to mention, she has never left her house alone.

In this movie, I like how it mixes 
both the fairy tale and the real life, like ...
How they 1st met in the rain (disney-fairytale)
& How the parents over-react in both families (reality-based)

At the sametime, I'm really impressed how Nihongji always
able to slip in a piece of (if not more) sexual scenes without ruining the whole movie.
In the hollywood, banging seems so perfect and beautiful.
It became such a norm that you have it on 
birthdays, mournings, school entries, parties, exams,
concerts, work promotions, retrenchments etc.
Literally, you have it on every street corners like Seven-eleven,

without knowing what're the purposes.

But, in 箱入り息子の恋, the director manage to insert a few quirky twitches.
Like .....

how can a blind gf ask his bf for that "extra step" beautifully
(you know what I mean...haha)
while still keeping the whole "thing" dirty yet essential.

I think as we grow older, your taste, views, and thinking
change with the experiences you've come across.
Things that seem dull, 'normal', weird, 
crazy, fuxk-up etc. will
give you another new perspective on the things that you have
or planning to acquired later in life.

Sometimes, details do tell a lot about a person.
My favourite scene in this movie, 
is their first date at the Gyudon (stir-fried beef & rice) take away.
*not gonna give any spoiler here*



In the asian creative industry,
Undoubtedly, Thais can be the king of adverts.
But if I have to selec t a country for its quirkiness in the movie industry,
I have to say it gotta be the Nippon.

happy watching =D

奇葩说

今晚想分享的是最近个人常看的<<奇葩说>>。
它是个中国的一个非典型辩论娱乐性节目。
为何讲它是个“非典型”的辩论节目呢？
因为它摆脱了以往非认真不可，
非端庄不行的辩论形式。

它采取了无束缚的辩论方式。
参赛者不但可以侃侃地道出天文地理时事历史，
也大可以在 众目睽睽下进行人身攻击。

蛤？
这其实也恰巧是它的强处。
当参赛者大可以像跟家人朋友吵架的时候，
辩论的课题也会额显贴切和有价值。

看了好几集，
发觉它所牵涉的辩题，
大多都和“端庄”扯不上关系的。
它所牵涉的都是些非常私人且敏感的话题：

“该向接了钱的好朋友要钱吗？”

“该不该向好朋友约炮？”

“同性恋该向父母出柜吗？”

“夫妻间可以不可以提出“自由”伴侣？“

有时，他们的讨论会显得有些脑残
但却对一个社会价值观息息相关。

“世界末日该不该隐瞒？”

这节目也让我体验了，
生活不一定得时时刻刻都是大道理。
有时，反而用低俗且犀利的讨论方式
能够把事情说得深入些。

有空花些时间看看吧！
=D

星期一的晚上

星期一，
本为一星期中最为寂静的一天，
今晚却有些些的小插曲。 

前序：
 “一个人在外，
 往往和陌生人的交道，
打得会比熟悉的家人朋友
来得得心应手。”

今晚没什么节目，
蚊子却一如往常超TM的多。

ok, 今晚被和我住在同一个单位的“屋友”
拉了去谈他的理想和人生计划。

他，说年轻真好。
再过不久，他即将卅九了，
他对人生毫无头绪，
丝毫成就感也没有。
所以，他说他想创业，
而且不是简简单单地创业。
他想投身房地产开发。

“靠~你哪来的念头喔？”

话说他最近在被一位房地产经销商激励后，
想放下目前的一切，
改做房地产开发者。

那位屋友，
唸的是机械工程，
而且还并修了工商管理（aka MBA)。
他毕业于英国的某一间大学，
曾在家乡呆了好几年，
但觉得事业上不得志，
所以也换了好几份不是很相关的工作。

“那现在，你其实最想要干的事是什么？”

他，要钱。
纯纯粹粹的想要赚大钱，
只要能够让他黄金满屋
睡觉被纸钞压死的工作，
他说他都很愿意去做。

“包括伤天害理？”


。。。 。。。


他一时反应不过来。
但，他的语气告诉我
如果事实需要，他极大可能不介意。
最重要乃钱钱钱钱。

“那为什么当初你会选择双修机械工程和工商管理呢？”

因为那个时候，大家都跟我说
“机械好，工程师棒，
有一技之长，很难饿死的。
而且再配上工商管理，
会让生意做起来如鱼得水。“

“那现在呢？你毕竟跟机械工程处了十多年，
你对它没有什么可言吗？”

没有，我只想赚大钱。
机械工程简直就是废物，
浪费钱，浪费时间，
浪费青春，浪费资源。
总而言之，废！！

那时，我感觉到了
他那积蓄了至少十几年
的感慨和牢骚。
感觉到的不止是
他对自己生活那份
无法完全掌握和了解的失望。
同时心里那份
被人唾弃的理想所产生的无奈感
真的深不可测。

*倒抽了一口冷空气*

我没什么发言，
静静的吮吸着塑料杯中
那仅剩的可乐水。

心里也盘算着自己的未来。
卅九。。。hmmm。。。

脑子里突然响起了
杨小萍的《今夜雨濛濛 》
WTF。oyasiminasai~

Funny age 廿五

When you're in your teen,
and first turned -ty,
you thought that world's gonna be a funny place.

But, I just learn that the real funny age is.....
T-W-E-N-T-Y  F-I-V-E.

Twenty five is  an age,where you get
others' children calling you uncle/aunty,
while still being called adik or young man.

Twenty five is also an age, where you're
expected to learn up all the career sh8t
yet still allowed to make mistakes,
mistakes as in stupid ones.

Twenty five is also an age where you're
happy with your single life,
but starting to think about family life.

Twenty five is a funny age where you
kind of still party, but
you'll wake up early to do some exercises.

I know there's alot more, but
I think at this age, all of us who still
have our parents will be really grateful.



卢广仲 - 大人中


二十五岁，
前一晚被同事的儿子叫了一个晚上的安哥
（事先声明，我完全不介意哦）

外国其实很流行“成人礼”。
通常到了一定的年龄 （如：18-21)
老爸老妈或家里的成年人会
带着刚成年的小弟/妹去完成一些
平时不会做的事情。

所做的事情很多。
可以低低调调地喝一晚，
（耶~ 未来一定要和我的孩子这样做！）
不醉不归
今朝有酒，今朝醉！
 *饮胜*

也可以去一场夜店，
点些小姐/大哥，
乐不思蜀，
不欢不归。
 *咳~*
重点： 安全第一，
除非你玩得起 *笑*

有些则会把孩子叫来，
和他们讲一些”成人”之前
所不会碰到的事物，如
老爸老妈的一生，
你的一生，
你和其他人的一生等。
这种的成人礼往往会比较沉重，
但其实是个很好的闹钟。
让孩子知道，别闹了，
是时候好好规划一下了。

再来，有些父母会把孩子招来，
坐下来谈心。
你人生目前有什么不满，
父母又有什么不满，等。
这种的“成人礼”往往也会满沉重，
但效果很不错，让大家掏心掏肺，
别憋在心里，日月累积，
积成心病。

最后，当然是被人叫“安哥/安娣”啦！
亚洲和非洲国家最常见的就是这套！
对我来说，也许被人这么叫的时候，
意味着我们的外表真的开始老化了，

但，同时他们其实也认可了一件事：

你成年了！

你塌抹的成年了！
。
。
。
。
。
好。。。。。 让我们听一听 
广仲的不想去远方
 


其实是一首队长写给他家人的一首歌。
话说，我要去月球了，
你们要好好照顾自己。

其实，家里人如果想让孩子们
走的远，飞得高
的不二法门就是把自己照顾得好好的。
其实，孩子们大多都会有想出去闯的心。
只要他们知道家里一切安恙，
不难！

好啦，
早头！

A quarter of a century

When ya growing old,
you'll feel like time really has passed.
So fast,
so fast that a quarter of a century
merely equivalent to few blinks.

Looking back at probably the first quarter of a lifetime,
it felt like so.... so much have not been achieved.

25 is a funny age where you start to really ponder about life plans.
Some people might think that it's perfectly fine
to take our own sweet pace in having a plan,
or searching a plan / the plans.

But still, the jittery still get you now and then.
Probably not yall, but sometimes I do. ha~

First birthday spent back home,
not expecting much,
just glad that most people around me are in good shape.
Sounds rather old? *chuckles*
Well, it might take years for the physical toll
to set in, but....
the mental toll sure has shown the tip of  it's tail.

Grateful for things that were blessed with and without.
Be it simple things like the humidity and sweat,
to big things like friends and family around you,
I'm just glad that things are going on (if not awesome)
=P

Had a meet-up with some old (as in REALLY old) friends.
It has been 15 years, and been through time where the bonds weakens
and ... till now.
It's funny how I feel like we are still
a whole bunch of immature brats,
same like 15 years ago,
if not better. =P

 Recently got a new pet a.k.a plant in my merely legal small room.

Bought a Drosera with mum & sis,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First gift in a long long time, to those two who know who themselves are

Time to run more, eat moderate and shed some more lipo! haha

Happy quarter-millennium passed!

念念 Murmurs of Hearts

有一段时间没写影评了。
昨天，自个儿去看了张艾嘉的《念念》。
总的来说，蛮不错的，
题材延续了一往张导的作风。

《念念》述写的是一个家庭，
一对情侣，一对母女，
一对姐弟，一对夫妻，
一对师徒，一对父子。

 电影里，
运用了大量的强烈对比。
时而平淡，平淡得舌尖发麻;
时而浓郁，浓郁得有点喘不过气来。

在《念念》里头，如果仔细观察，
会看到张导不时把镜头转向大自然。
有海，有天，有云，有浪。。。
每个元素都有个自多变的性格，
就如戏里头的角色們。
人不可能不变，除非死了。=P

念念里头，
没有花俏高端的拍摄技巧，
但至少镜头拍得很有美感。
在没有多余琐碎物之下，
单纯的线条，纤薄却强韧，
很多时候能够把一件情感
描述得更仔细，更一针见血。

很喜欢张孝全和梁洛施在里头的演出，
道尽了情侣在变为家人前一刻的心理。
兴奋的当儿，夹杂了恐惧，犹豫，
质疑，忐忑。。。

还有一位很少注意过的演员- 柯宇伦。
戏里和梁洛施演兄妹的。
台风夜的那一幕还蛮有感触的。
有时候，内心的结真的还是需要当事人来解。

“妈，你不觉得你偏心女儿吗？”

那晚，育男这么地问了他妈。

也许，育男纳闷的是为何当初妈妈不带他离开，
而是只带了妹妹。

也许在意的不是他妹所得到的爱，
而是他渴望妈妈那有限的爱。
虽然他气的是妈妈，但他知道，
那是事不由己，他妈的他妈其实也走投无路了
才会提出这下策。（粗口出口咯。。哈哈哈）

you

话多说无助，有空的话，

把你爱的人们，

爱你的人们都带上

去听张导说故事吧！=D

Re-adaptation

Finally, settle down on a 1-year contract for work.
Came to a city which I used to know pretty well.
It has been 5 years+ since I last stayed there,
things changed, at the same time remained the same.

Been staying in a backpacker for a week now,
moving into a rented room tonight. =D

It's a weird feeling to be back after half a decade.
Somehow you felt assured yet insecure,
comfortable yet not-fitting in,
glad yet anxious.

Probably that's what they call the transition state.

Staying at the backpackers reminded me
so much of the land Down Under.
Back home, we don't really stay at backpackers,
as it is the cheapest mode of accommodation
(besides the street).
Minimal but practical facilities,
and the funny thing is you don't see one local here
besides the owner and his staffs.

Meet a Turkish here who share the same room as me.
He looked like 25, but only 21,
shy but friendly once you get to know him.
Funny how much a stranger could pour out to another,
especially when you have never met.

Every day, after dinner, we would chat in the room.
It's amazing how much ground were covered,
family, friends back home, food, festivals,
religions, politics, cultural practice,
languages, study, work, dreams,
worries and more.

As a local, I treated him a roti canai with syrup bandung,
because he said he missed Turk's baklava the most,
and gonna be his first meal when he gets home.
LOL......
and guess what.......
roti canai has become one of the best dessert to him.
almost equivalent to baklava.
*HI 5*

Thanks for the friendship man,
hope your surprise for your mum
and snake for your dad works.
till we meet again,

OO-lay oo-lay ("all the best on a new journey" in Turkish).

Alright, time to get going and
let's hope this 12 months gonna leave some good moments.
=D

阿Girl

它叫阿Girl
也叫GirlGirl,
cabo-ong, tua pui.

身材胖胖的，

脚，短短的，

身上绒绒的毛

是橘黄色，

接近金黄的橘。

我也忘了她何时来到这个家，

只记得在我们完全没有心里准备下，

三姑就将它寄在老家。

它本是吹惯冷气，

吃惯好料，住惯洋房的大小姐。

但，那时我们住的是老家，

顺其自然的，宠物是得呆在外面的。

刚开始好像是麦哥负责的，

但我和老弟对宠物是无法自拔的。

刚开始我们会帮忙喂它，

后来会帮忙它洗澡，

久而久之，它也跟惯了我俩。

说起来，老弟待阿Girl会较贴切些。

他对阿Girl也比较轻松。

我则会比较凶，哈哈。。。

需要平衡吧！

不能只管宠溺，而让它有所欲为吧！

但我们都会固定带它一起去爬PearlHill.

从开始还年轻时轻轻松松地跑，

到后来较有年纪时喘兮兮地走。

它喜欢领大队，耍耍前锋的帅气，

但不时还是会掉头以确保没人落单。
路途中，它总是会在它那热门地点大便。
方便完后，它总是会拖着屁股在地上磨上好几分钟。
大概是檫屁股的意思吧？哈哈

其实，自从幼时养的狗狗们因皮肤病过度严重
然后被送去枪毙后，我们久久不敢再领养任何动物。

直到阿Girl来了我们家，

心结才慢慢地解开。

解铃还需系铃人吧。。。

对于养宠物，个人的心德是它们带给你的，

和你带给它们的好比人生的缩影。

看着它们从比你幼小，到长得比你还高大，

然后老的也比你快。。。。。。

当然，它们的时限也较短。

领养就别想弃养，
这是我的做人底线。
要嘛就做到底，
不然请想都别想。

其实养宠物真的能间接性
地锻炼一个人的心理素质。
让你了解生命的渺小，无助，
脆弱，无常和现实的当儿，
它们也会让你会心一笑，
感觉一切原来都是那么的简单。

好啦，哈拉得差不多了。
大肥，谢谢你带给我们的这些欢乐，
我们会永远地缅怀你。

='D
