me: I think...the meaning of life is to find meanings in life in this meaningless world.

十年. Tokyo 12.
我終於都來到這個關口。其實我一早就可以知道它的來臨,因為這是一個不能避免的事實,是生命的其中一部分,像天上的雨一般,很早就已經決定了。只是,我沒有估計到,它竟然會在一個天色灰暗,落著雨的星期一下午來臨。這有點不是味兒。
有一個晚上,我和G一起喝著紅酒,一起回故這些年頭的種種。好像在一個破碎了的舊教堂,找尋著一個十字架一般。發覺我們都在這五年的歲月都變了很多,簡直有一點難以想像。我們一起經歷過的東西其實也很難去形容,我唯一可以做的,就只有用「葡萄牙 --> 許志安 --> Oasis --> 存在主義--> 卡繆 --> 祖与占 --> 400 擊 --> 酒 (威士忌伏特加) --> 爵士樂 --> 寫作 --> 話劇 --> 春光乍洩 --> 村上春樹」。大慨吧,總之,我們就是這樣的經過這五年,當中我和你的生命有不少人穿插,有人留下了一段時間,在黑白的世界帶來顏色; 也有人離開了,也許是因為他得不自己希望得到的東西; 當然,在我們的生活中也會在願意和不願意之下離開了某某,像你在信中寫道「如此不近人情地無法避免」。
那天晚上,我聽到一個很久都沒有聽過的名字。以我的記憶,那晚好像是第一次聽你以一個outsider去講及她。感覺很奇怪,我也不知道為何。但我想,這一切都是這五年的點點滴滴,現在這點滴都變成了一杯水,放在我和你的面前。對! 問題是「and then what?」
喝都半醉的時候,我發現我踏入了他在我當日認識他的那個位置。那麼...五年後呢?
有一晚,老爸問我: 「畢業後想怎樣了?」我答不了他。加上近日明白到的一兩件事,我不禁去思考自己很基本和簡單的問題。夢想太美麗,但不能忘記現實。望望自己,一事無成,落後了很多,失去了很多機會,失去了很多人...我...
媽的...五年...五年後會是2014年; 五年後我會是25歲; 五年後你會進入社會。這就是我可以肯定的。其餘我不想去猜測,因為我看見的並不是我想發生的,好像很多事都不會去好的那一方。因為成長很難去捕捉,像河道的魚,我只可以一直走...或者好像G的說,要令自己進步,買一架太空船升上天王星找尋小王子好了。...where shall i start?
一晚入面,面對自己過去五年,再想像自己五年之後,再回到現在看一看我和你。十年,就會是這樣嗎?

She. Tokyo 11.
A very beautifully written song that I keep listening to these days.
'She' - Elvis
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She
She, oh she

'An idea for a short story...'. Tokyo 10.
'An idea for a short story about ... um ... people in Manhattan who ... er ... are constantly creating these real unnecessary neurotic problems for themselves - because it keeps them from dealing with more unsolvable terrifying problems about ... er ... the universe - Um, tsch -- it's, uh ... well, it has to be optimistic. Well, all right, why is life worth living? That's a very good question. Um. Well, there are certain things I - I guess that make it worthwhile. Uh, like what? Okay. Um, for me ... oh, I would say ... what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing ... uh ummmm and Willie Mays, and um, uh, the second movement of the Jupiter Symphony, and ummmm ... Louie Armstrong's recording of "Potatohead Blues" ... umm, Swedish movies, naturally ... "Sentimental Education" by Flaubert ... uh, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra ... ummm, those incredible apples and pears by Cézanne ... uh, the crabs at Sam Woo's ... tsch, uh, Tracy's face ...' Issac Davis (Manhattan, film by Woody Allen 1979)

跛既. Tokyo 9.
因為有一點點多餘的時間,與其自己一個在房間入面,對著冰冷的牆壁,不如寫寫自己近日的感受。(如果無興趣的話,現在可以離開,因為我並沒有太美麗的生活。抱歉,我也控制不了。)
1. 時間太短。因為我們還有很多未做的事,未發的夢,未實淺的承諾。而轉眼間,你會發現原來「路」已經走了一大段,你的時間無多。但可以怎樣?
2. 時間太長。因為我們不甘心停留在一個地方,不段地做著自己不想做的事情,不段地去找尋生命的意義。我們為什麼而活? 你會發現自己要離開這裡,需要太長的時間。但可以怎樣?
(寫到這裡,突然沉重下來。抱歉,像其他生活的其他,以及性格,我也控制不了。)

記得香蕉成熟時. Tokyo 8.
先要多謝mr gentleman, S.L., Y.W., S.C.Y., L.S.
多謝你們的一切。
mr gentleman。生命中有你真的很好。你知嗎,你是我最珍惜的朋友。讓我們一起說西班牙文吧!想哭的日子有你令我不會感到孤寂。今晚是地獄呀,幸好你拿起了你的手電,哈哈,你救了我呀。
so confusing, but mr gentleman, thanks for reminding me of 記得香蕉成熟時 II, it's a film that we both love a lot, a film that talks about growing up. It' s about how to deal with things when they are not good.
I know your favourite scene, when 波仔 told 婷婷 that she cares about her, especially of losing her. tonight you reminded me of another scene...
星空奇遇
i am only paraphrasing, but that's one of the most memorable quote of the story
一生人,你總會鍾意過比你高,比你大個,比你聰明的女仔。這是成長的一部分。但我一生唯一一次的星空奇遇,就是這樣地完結了...
遠處響起Glen Flenn 的 the one you love...
記得香蕉成熟時,夢中情人。

Moon River. Tokyo 6.
Dear A,
我也經歷過這樣的日子,似是地獄一樣的壞。但最後,我也一個人慢慢地辛苦的站起來。
而不同的是,今日及以後很多的日子,你有他和你一起行前面的路。這只是一個過渡期,事情的開頭永遠都是困難,但雨後的太陽會比平時的溫暖。還記得有一天我問他,「你最想和她說什麼說話?」他思考了一會,之後認真地答我 :「we will sort everything out.」你記得嗎?
快樂其實很簡單。
你和他。一起笑著地走進太空館。到海旁分享同一支冰凍的可樂。到電影院看一套無聊的笑片。聽聽 taylor swift 的 love story。
你和他。
2009 年的moon river。
Get well soon.
Love,
H
