無名氏
莫名其妙的家人給那人問了一堆問題,對方竟然也不告知自己是誰.
最後家人忍受不了再問一次,對方才揭露自己的身份.
不知道我的"近況",很明顯已是那種不大好的"好友"了吧?
你知道什麼是禮貌?半夜12點打來,嚇怕了我的家人.
又是那種X年不見,然後一打電話來就告知要結婚....
(X年不見又沒有書信往來或網上聊天的"好友",不用打來,也不用邀請...實在謝謝你的"好意"...)
叻仔
"我搵到地方搬啦~"
"係?咁快?"
"OK啦~都未租到,要申請先知道屋主批唔批"
"邊到?"
"那邊那棟?"(用手指著)
"哦~係幾樓單位?"
"十樓"
"嘩~你好叻仔*喎~咁快又租多一層樓"
"租多一層樓?"
"現在租九樓,今次租十樓,有進步!"
*叻仔=能幹
失散
我們隨著人群向左邊看了一看那架靚車,跟住"哦"了一聲.
沒有多久,大家累了,就找地方坐下,發現旁邊又有一架靚車.
休息完再遊走,發了第三架靚車.
失散就係車旁等?大家知道係邊架車?如果有遊客不小心落下面停車場,究竟應該選邊架車旁邊等?
就...自己鍾意那架靚車!
其實,我們沒有跟團,也不認識導遊,只是賭場內的晃客.
私房菜作Speakeasies?
私房菜是近幾 年香港很流行的開設餐廳形式,大大小小的可能都有二,三十間.從來沒有去過,通常都是看雜誌和聽電台知道那幾間比較有名的私房菜.但本人仍然在茶餐廳都覺 得好好味的間段,還有很遠的一段路才會去到要享受私房菜.我不知道原來私房菜已收錄入Lonely Planet,也不知道外國人稱它為Speakeasies.有興趣的可以進入以下網站看一看.

What will you ask Rowling in the interview?
老實說,追到第4本已經有點悶(可能是中文版的關係),不過我相信電影會一直很精彩,因為會濃縮小說的情節.
如果你喜歡Harry Potter的話,有機會和大作家J. K. Rowling見面並進行訪問相信是一件很令人興奮的事.你會對她問什麼問題?
ie. 下一本書的內容是什麼?誰會死?等等的問題.
最多人想問的可能是:究竟如何成為一個百萬富翁的作家?

出前一丁 Nissin Instant Noddle
其實它是日本貨,不是來到香港之後,香港人不知是否愛不惜手,每逢提到”公仔麵”(泡麵),大家就會想起它.雖然後來出現了名叫”公仔麵”或近期流行的”生麵王”, 出前一丁的地位依然屹立不倒.尤其是留學或移民在外的香港人,一定會懷念公仔麵.從前在外地買公仔麵是很貴的,甚至有開大殺價的嫌疑.所以人人不止從香港回買那些藥用物品如萬金油,同時也想盡辦法的運公仔麵出境.至今在海外購買的價錢已可以接受,加上近年來出現不同口味,令出前一丁更受歡迎.
去位於香港某茶餐廳,已經不是那句”唔該,餐蛋麵!”(公仔麵加煎蛋,腸),而變成了”我想試一下抄公仔麵,邊款好食?”.
The nice website for instant noodle “Nissin” rang a bell with me. This noodle came from Japan but it is a very popular instant noodle in Hong Kong. Hong Kong people, who live or study in foreign region, try to bring the Nissin from Hong Kong to their home. In addition, Nissin developed many different flavors, it attracted more people to like them.
When you travel in Hong Kong, you can try “fried Nissin” in a restaurant. This is new way of cooking instant noodle.

提及Blog的劇集
劇集果然很趕上潮流,簡直係”潮爆”(是誰開始用這個近期在香港流行的用語?).

This is the new flavour of Coke. The lime flavour. Yesterday we had a 2 liters of Lime Coke and 2 liters of Vanilla. The same price as the same size (600ml), only $AU2 per bottle.
醫病
這星期那集看到某位醫生知道病人患的只是咳嗽,因此叫病人回家喝杯熱茶就好.當然那位病人不是很嚴重的那種咳嗽,從重到尾沒有看到病人咳一聲.
如果在中國人的社會,什麼病都好,就算沒有什麼事,醫生都會開一堆藥給你,以表示這是看過醫生的”獎品”.如果不給,下次病人可能不來呢~
記得有一次有個朋友,她說醫生給了她10種藥,包括有傷風,頭痛,鼻敏感,胃痛…最後一項是減肥, 連減肥都開藥.她都已經在生病,為什麼還會開減肥藥給她?朋友好開心,因為她得到很多藥,覺得很化算,而且看一次醫生就能做到那麼多東西.不過, 那不是一年一度大減價,買多送多(差一點要說可以有旅遊大抽獎).身體不是說吃藥就一定會好,人也不是不用休息,一天到晚工作和玩樂,吃顆維他命身體就會 強壯.朋友~你知道健康是什麼嗎?
某天看到電視上那些肥人,抽完脂肪再吃,還不是一樣肥~好恐怖~
Join減肥套餐?天下沒有白吃的午餐?運動吧!(我又在說我自己)
門徒又少一個 ONE of the famous Twelve Apostles collapsed
或許有一天全部石柱都會因為風浪侵蝕而全部消失,所以有人說要快點去看.但有些人說墨爾本只有一條唐人街可行.那裡都有唐人街,沒有人叫你一定要去墨爾本才行,不去巿中心的話可以去其他地方逛逛.墨爾本的話,本人覺得企鵝和薰衣草園可觀看,其他的興趣不太.但價錢和去黃金海岸又相同,不如多去一次黃金海岸.所以到現在都沒有去過墨爾本.

語言 language
我在想,該電影角色從那裡來或使用何種語言和內容無關,何不乾脆去配音,重頭到尾就只用一種語言.這樣不倫不類的讓觀眾看得不明不白,更打擾了大家觀賞的興致.
想到了蛋的blog,曾經有普通話的朋友說看不懂內容,因為內容太廣東話的口語化.不過在comments裡的討論中發現,大家覺得寫下廣東化的文字沒有問題,反而更親切.
上次看到某人留下廣東話化文字的comment在某blog,而看看blog的內容那位blogger應該是台灣人.不知道blogger是否了解到留言者的問題?不過我想語言已經在Blogosphere發生了化學作用,正確一點應該是”語言文化”.
從 蛋blog的事件起,開始在想本blog究竟要往那個方向走?除了內容的問題,究竟有那一群語言的讀者在閱讀?那也是一個在寫作需要考慮的部份.廣東話 有廣東話的考量,普通話和國語又是不一樣的.文化的不同,有很多用詞是不一樣的.不過因為朋友多是廣東話和國語類,為了兩者的文字理解力而在寫作時作出了 某些改變,因此同時出現兩種中文表達方式.雖然有時看起來會很煩或者會很怪,但友人們不止看得懂,有時還可乘機學學廣東話(不一定要在”真情”才學到 的).
又是我好奇的想法.
A movie talked about 2 girls have the same boyfriends. A actress spoke her first language Cantonese and B actress spoke her first language Mandarin. For the sake of background in the movie (in Hong Kong), B needed to speak some impure Cantonese. Also B spoke some coarse language of Cantonese to tell audience she was familiar with Hong Kong. Sometimes A spoke with B in Mandarin might be A want to familiar with B?
In that case, audience struggled to understand what they said but not seeing the movie. Why they didn’t speak their first language and then dubbed into 2 different languages? Audience could select Cantonese or Mandarin when they saw the movie.
I remember people complained they did not understand what Egg wrote in EGGLISH.NET.. That was because Egg wrote the Cantonese in the blog. Mandarin people did not understand that language. However, Hong Kong people agreed to use Cantonese because it seemed friendly.
I saw one of Hong Kong people left a message in Taiwanese’s blog. I did not know the blogger knew what he said or not because the people wrote the Cantonese. I just thought the language problem might happen in Blogosphere.
I had to think how I could put both of them in my blog. Then all my friends could understand the content in my blog . Slang was different in everywhere. That was why I had to write an explanatory notes in a bracket so everyone could understand what I said.
煙花 Firework
我 還記得從前同窗好友買了仙女棒給我玩,我還很興奮的握著那小小的棒子在細看那閃爍的煙花.除了舅舅有一次買過較大型的煙火在家玩,玩過的煙花的次數10隻 手指都可以數出來.有一年去好友家中,他特意地為我去找仙女棒,連他的妹妹都不再玩的玩意,我居然還在玩.找仙女棒還找到他外公的小小店,大家都好奇的問 誰要玩,結果發現是我的時候臉上出現驚訝表情.經我好友解釋香港是不能自購煙花時,大家都努力幫忙找,可是煙花要在中秋才有售.因此好友答應留一些給我下 來來再玩,好久沒有回去了!
知道新界有些地方有人偷放煙花,不過我沒有新界住的親朋好友.所以我要去認識他們,讓我可以試一下放煙花和吃盆菜,聽說元朗的盆菜真的很好吃的. (網上找到其中一家的資料,大家可以去看看什麼是盆菜)
運動項目—跳舞Dancing
舞池不是很大,不過很久沒有看到那麼多人跳舞,而且他們跳得很開心,那些不敢表演的人就在場邊看看別人跳舞.祖安說,跳舞嘛~沒有什麼難度,隨便搖兩下就好,所以我就和他去搖兩下.看到一個日本人跳得很好,一直等他跳一些什麼倒立或貼地轉身之類的動作(電視看太多,Haha!),最後也沒有看到.又看到有點醉的人在跳舞,很高興的轉來轉去.大家都跳得很客氣,撞到也會讓一讓(據說這個Pub可說是很”乾淨”的,所以才來).有一種感覺,就是覺得站在舞池中很”曬”("太陽"很大).原因是那些閃光和雷射光很強勁,看得眼睛張不開,不時要用手遮住眼睛(好像很怪,不過是真的).
只和祖安去跳,因為男孩們都不敢去,他們都去打撞球.其實也只是好奇,究竟在舞池內會有什麼新鮮事?好久沒有到過舞池,覺得自己有點老,但看到別人的活力,又覺得自己很年輕.
玩得很高興之餘,開始在想,究竟是次活動係慶祝小朋友的生日?還是大家找藉口出來玩?
運動項目—billiards 撞球(篤波)
不過前晚卻有去打球,大家都玩得很高興,這是第一次一起玩撞球(篤波billiard).我想這和撞球有一點分別(可能有別的叫法),玩法是枱上只有兩色球加黑球,某一隊先撞中其中一種顏色,那色就屬於他們,打完自己全部球才可打黑色球.
Anyway,除了坐下來喝東西時(眼睛仍看著別人打球,因為環境太嘈根本說不到話),都在打撞球.
這種運動除了身手好之外,頭腦亦很重要.看到別人打球不一定是直線打的,有時也會利用桌邊反彈撞向球.大家就...球打到彈起,要不然就白球入洞,再過份一點就是白球跟有色的球飛出桌外,不知到了那兒去了?
覺得意猶未盡,直說下次再玩.
Whatever the fact was I just went a court and waiting for lunch (Having a lunch with friend is good, isn't it?), I did not play badminton with my friends a long time.
Last night we were playing ball game in a pub. That was billiards. I thought that was different from billiards because that only has 2 colors and one black ball (oh~I forgot the white one). If one group touch one of colors first, balls of that color are theirs. They need to put all the color's balls into a hole. Because of loud noise, we did not talk too much. Most of the time we were looking people to play ball game when we drank.
Not only skill of ball game, reaction is also important. A white ball can touch the other ball directly or rebound to somewhere. Anyways, we did not have the skill and reaction. We always put the white ball in a hole. Or it gone out of the table with the other ball then we could not find them.
Even though we played not well, we said we would come back next time.
清醒 Drunkenness
小朋友對賭$沒有興趣,我們也不是教他去賭$,只不過帶他去見識一下,這也是我第二次去這裡的賭場.不和澳門的賭場,這裡的賭場很健康,整個場有很多老虎機,和幾十張賭桌.每個老虎機和賭桌的金額都很小,上次來還知道了這裡有些賭桌是教人如何知道遊戲規則的.看了朋友玩下老虎機,原來有很多不同玩法.不只是老虎機,是每一部老虎機的贏法都不一樣.知道很多師奶(媽媽)來玩,還有上了紀年的伯伯,不用理玩法如何,掉$進入按一下,就這樣可以消磨一個下午.有一個玩法很簡單的轉大輪,你猜中它會轉到去那一格就贏,不過我朋友卻沒有猜中.我喜歡的卻是大魚缸,兩層高的魚缸養了些熱帶魚(好像有毛仔和多莉).
Pub當然是晚上才去,小朋友對飲酒興趣不大,竟然以酒當水的在喝.別人喝5杯,他已經喝了7,8杯.我們告訴他那不是水,叫他不用喝得太多.可能是口渴,他一杯啤酒2口喝完.沒有問他有沒有醉,不過看他回程途中一直很興奮地說著今午看的一部戲”頭文字D”(他知道我們未看,就一直說有什麼好笑的片段),而且不斷重複說著說過的話.
很開心,不知是因為酒精的關係還是玩得很高興.
We went to casino and pub to celebrate 18’s birthday of M. Although this guy did not request anything, we thought that was a good idea to celebrate his birth.
Firstly, we went casino. Casino of Star city seems healthier than Macao. That had many gambling’s tables and gambling machines. A gambling cost of machine only needed a cent. It's cheap! A lot of motherhood and grandpa hood came here to play the machine in leisure time. They did not know how to win it. They just put a cent into a machine and pressed one of the buttons. Then, it gone! Sometimes they won and sometimes they lost. Different machine have different game. They always did not understand how to win. My friend told me how to play one of machines. I thought that was different.I knew one of tables taught beginner how to play a game. That was interesting. Actually, I was interested the fishes in the casino. It seems to have Memo and Dory (in Finding Nemo)
Next, we went to a pub. M was not interested alcohol. He drank cocktails and beers just like drinking water. That was terrified. I didn’t see drunkenness of him in the pub. When we went home, he was non-stopping to say the new movie he had seen. Repeat and repeat…….
被鬧鐘吵醒 Alarm clock woke me up
趕緊打開燈去尋找聲音的源頭,不過沒有找到.
開始覺得很可疑,為什麼聲音那麼 小,是不是袋裡的手機?頭腦開始清醒,知道昨晚沒有調較鬧鐘.不止昨晚,是一整個星期都沒有較過.又去看看手錶,不是它.那又更不可能是小鬧鐘,因為第一 個就懷疑它.在懷疑它的時候,發現了現在是6點.當做了和想了這麼多事情,也只不過了幾秒,突然聲音停止了,奇怪?
終於知道了,那不是桌上的鬧鐘,是鄰居小姐的鬧鐘.又開始聽到她打噴嚏的聲音.知道她沒有出門,因為沒有聽到關門的聲音.
唉~剛剛作的好夢回不去,再睡不了但覺很累,不停在床上輾轉反側.突然睜開眼一瞥,11點.
只想告訴你,我家的隔音很差.
Alarm clock woke me up on a weekend.
I turned on a bedlamp and sought the alarm clock. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it.
I was doubtful why the sound was so small. It did not seem to be in my bedroom. That might be my mobile in the bag? No, it was not. When I was clear-headed, I knew I had not turned on the alarm function of my clock last night. Not only last night, I didn’t use it a whole week. The sound suddenly stopped when I was thinking what happened.
Well, loud sneezing told me that was not my alarm clock. That was my neighbours.
She started to sneeze but still not went out. I knew because I had not yet to hear the sound of door closed
Well~ I couldn’t go back to my good dream. Still felt so tried but could not sleep.
I tossed and turned restlessly. When I was opening my eyes again, it was
Meyer Lemon檸檬橙
細心留意那個尾尾的地方,檸檬是有個尾的,另一個沒有.切開出來還有點不一樣.不過我也說不了到底是那裏不一樣.
我想應該會有個名詞來形容這樣東西,又或者這其實是檸檬或橙/柳橙的一種?
One day I wanted to make lemonade so I took a lemon from a fridge. When I was drinking the lemonade, I felt uncomfortable. Something wrong but I did not know what that was. Next day I discovered “real” lemons in the fridge. So what was the “stuff” yesterday? Not lemon and orange. That might be someone said a “lemon-orange”.
If you are looking at the first photo, you can see the lemon has a tail. Something different on the second photo but I didn’t know how to say that. I though it might have a term of “lemon-orange”. Larry asked me to find the answer on Wikipedia. Below that might be the answer.

有可能是Meyer Lemon
The Meyer Lemon (Citrus x Meyeri) is originally from China and thought to be a cross between a true lemon and a mandarin orange
