Winter Ready X With my Homie: Vacation Glovies

First pair of warm gloves 
First of my life 
Gearing up for the winter vacations 

Not really heading to anywhere 
Freezing or snowing cold but
Temperature is still relatively low
Compared to what we have it here 

And come on 
It's a chance to get dressed 
Varsity jacket, hoodies, 
high rise sneakers, scarf 
Time to "defrost" them 

Roooaaarggghh

天藍轉灰轉黑 X 也微笑不插嘴: 十萬毫升淚水

每一次的失去

都像一場小小的死亡

卻又伴隨著重生

緩緩的到來

 

十萬毫升淚水 / 蔡健雅

 

十萬毫升淚水 / 蔡健雅

詞:小寒

曲:蔡健雅

 

知道我不完美 能給的我都給
於是天藍轉灰轉黑 也微笑不插嘴

這一次會氣餒 連平凡愛一回
都才將心給誰 馬上又被粉碎

滿意了嗎 你究竟有完沒完
你煩不煩 總考驗我多勇敢
有那麼難 那麼幸福和美滿
我不貪婪 只求多些夜晚 不鼻酸 不孤單
我想要的快樂很簡單 你都不管

人的一生會積累 十萬毫升淚水
以為哭完苦悲苦味 能換來好結尾

並不是我後悔 愛會痛我奉陪
只是輪到我沒 誰視我為寶貝

滿意了嗎 你究竟有完沒完
你煩不煩 總考驗我多勇敢
有那麼難 那麼幸福和美滿
我不貪婪 只求多些夜晚 不鼻酸 不孤單
我想要的快樂很簡單 你都不管

有完沒完 我已無條件投降
我要歸還 向你借來的勇敢
我不野蠻 不屬於我的美滿
都不貪婪 只求一到夜晚 有期盼 有陪伴
我想要你給我個答案 你卻不管
你都不管
你別不管
我的傷感

心情好壞 X 誰關懷:今天請快

下午就把背包打不見了

結果點了一下

裡面總共有三個大小包

 

還有一套

未曾去過海島的比基尼

真的好愛她 幻想過

下一次去哪就把她帶上

 

不過貌似我真的成熟

淡定得事發過後

還能和朋友去吃飯

再若無其事地回家

 

一起吃飯那個朋友

她男朋友在迪拜工作

所以會過來畢業典禮

然後兩小口去拍婚紗照

再回去西安領證辦禮

隨後再一起回迪拜

好令人羨慕

人生都規劃好了

 

而我

一個連背包也看不好

連個戀愛也談不上

畢業也不知干啥

支持誰誰就不會贏

心情好爛也

不知道找誰說的黑羊

這是我大學生涯的最後一天

難道平凡點就會死嗎

實在感覺好遜好遜

今天應該很開心

請繞了我吧

 

金馬之夜

黑暗VS陽光

兩大連光頭都

帥到不行的男神

都落馬了

金馬五十 彭于晏 金馬五十 麥浚龍

 

Oh come on

You gotta be kidding me

甚麼

明天是星期天

但我目前實在好沮喪

Lost X Never Found: My backpack on the Ground

before leaving the train station

realized I left the whole rug sack

went to the ticketing counter

the person was quite helpful

called up the next station

so that they could pick it up for me

 

she told me they have found it

so I have to wait for the next train to come

and a staff walked to the platform to pick up

but she didn’t come back with anything at all

so she told me:

no, no backpack has been found

 

Puma rug sack

Mng shopping bag

Roxy pull string bag

damn the bag and

the bags within bag are the

pinch I first felt

 

then I recalled more

Rip curl bikini set (OMG!! My fav)

mng dress

Roxy flora tank top

Cotton on flip flop

 

Some personal items

Which probably doesn't worth much

Sun block, toner, comb etc

Including some Wacoal under garments

 

A typo notepad

Gift from Mag

Featuring Snoopy as Joe cool

"too cool for school"

 

In shorts

These things do not worth much to

Who ever took my bag

Who the fuck will wear used bikinis

But it does worth something to me

As a owner

The sentiment value you see

So I don't know

 

Although I left my phone and email

I doubt my phone is going to ring

It's now it never

 

And oh there's a kettle at the bottom

It has been with me for seven years

 

But it's okay

It doesn't hurt that bad to lose

so many things at one go

Imagine I lost a phone or

a tablet or a camera

That's more hurtful, definitely

 

But still

I don't buy expensive things

But neither are my stuffs cheap

I wont dare to calculate

How much I need to reimburse

If I were to replace these items

 

And I hate being a sentimentalist

I remember exactly

Where when how and how much

I bought these items for

 

R.i.p.

Juno X SoftHard: Lam-Man-Lung Revisit

2007, from the album of

《Chapel of Dawn》

Chapel of Dawn

 

quite a catchy tune

and cheeky lyrics and

I always like X-over whereby

the uniqueness of the collaborators

emerged in the work

instead of succumb to the other party

in order to become one

 

SoftHard sounds like the good old them

Juno is pretty much the cool new him

and *bang…*

 

however there’s one thing which

always got me thinking and

I finally got the answer

 

randomly on a bus ride while

looping Juno’s 《Nothing Lasts Forever》 

a compilation of his best

 

it’s regarding the title of the song

《林民龍》 which is obviously a name

of the shy guy portrayed in the song

who is hesitating to date a girl 

but why this name?

 

okay it sounds like one of

those common guys who

pass you by on the street

but still there must be a reason

 

then I finally realize

okay 3 characters of the name

taken one each from the collaborators

林 from 海峰 Jan Lamb

民 from 葛輝 Eric Kot

龍 from 麥浚 Juno Mak

 

bingo

it’s a tic-tac-toe

 

5 years later

and I finally discovered this

how slow and insensitive can I get

 

the one and only thing is

the music video actually disappointed me

Juno is known for making really impressive MV

so is this one with its 3D animation and all

 

and the looks are actually based on

SoftHard’s 2007 《Long Time No See》

making-a-come-back album

 

but yet it fell short of my expectation to

actually see three of in real person

不敢對準心愛對象 揸咪講感受

軟:Yeah點解你咁驚
仲唔開口去講一聲 What
手機乜冧巴都攞到啦 打俾佢啦
吞吞吐 講乜嘢都好
講真你怕乜喎 係咪怕電話會打錯
喂 搭錯線呀麥生 不過錯過咗你重錯

軟:打通咗講乜先
講冧 一於講心 交交心 傾一傾通宵
Oh!語氣要放輕 試吓扮吓正經 總好過無無聊聊呀
逗人哋笑 不必送錶
喂 快啲睇睇錶 就天光喇等幾點先出招

麥:你在一百萬年後
我在一百萬年後
都等對方等到下唇 都生銹
幹什麼恃住長壽
繼續忍痛做成就
不敢對準心愛對象 揸咪講感受

軟:睇真 你都幾好 又會跳舞又會唱K
Ho Yeah!鬥靚就冇機 但你對個個亦算OK
駛乜理咁客氣 終歸你要試一次
咪再嗌切碎 咁怕死
等叔叔教你用手指 快快趣打咪猶豫

軟:諗咩啫 俏嬌娃 佢幾抵錫
甜美又趣緻 佢好孝順 你又知唔知
仲唔快啲緊啲再出力啲送花送牌做粉絲
仲sms 扮打字哩 揸住個電話又唔講做咩啫

麥:你在一百萬年後
我在一百萬年後
都等對方等到下唇 都生銹
幹什麼恃住長壽
繼續忍痛做成就
不敢對準心愛對象 開咪講感受

麥:你擰左我又行右
你入先我又溜後
只等對方一下射球 先開口
這段歌這樣長壽
軟硬高唱十年後
點解客這種氣未曾 開咪講感受

軟:你知呢個女仔大把人吼呀
你唔開口就我嚟出手
唔好怕醜 壯一壯膽食個煙斗
不過小心條街有好多狗呀

Daddy X cum Boyfie: Clothes’ Ideology

bought my dad this polo tee

pretty simple yet lovely

P1250330

 

I even thought of buying one myself

maybe, if there’s smaller size

I have been buying men’s clothes anyway

 

but the idea of couple clothes doesn’t

really appeal to me, specifically

those which are exact couple shirts

coming in a pair

 

you got what I mean?

I am okay which those

mix n match couple outfits

 

but not those exactly the same brand/design

meant to be bought and worn as couple clothes  

expecially those that portray

LO on one shirt, VE on another

or some thing like that

 

eg: these are within my level of acceptance

street look - couple outfit 01street look - couple outfit 02

 

Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl

they are the best exemplars

Olivia Palermo and Johannes HueblOlivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl 02

 

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr

(those good old days)

 

okay by the way

I guess I have this tendency to

fit my dad into my clothes’ ideology of

what a man should be wearing

 

I bought him Rip Curl shorts,

New Balance sneakers, but

somehow polo tees fit in more easily of

my ideology to be “practiced” on

a middle-aged granddad

 

there are a lot of time

while walking with him or

with someone else or alone

bumping into items which

I desperately like to see my guy wearing

 

I mean desperately wanting to see

not that I desperately wanting a guy

 

baby blue oxford shirt

vintage cartoon tees

some white kicks 

chambray shirt

 

then I looked at my dad

arrgh… nevermind

 

and I gave up the idea of

buying and keeping for future

I kept some since 2010

and some are still intact with tags

some already been worn by me

 

who ever who comes

he shall have those “staple items”

I guess

 

take it or leave it

why should I be bothered to go

customize his wardrobe so that

it fits my ideology

 

it’s more meeting someone

who like what I wear and

at the same time, wears what I like

that’s more like it

Boycott is X a Must!: No Next Time, MAS

was trying to securing our tickets to Xiamen

yesterday there were these

funny phenomenon that

no economic tickets are available between

the date of 1st and 10th

how could that be

you mean so many people are flying?

i should have realized the fishy-ness

2013.11.14 KL-Xiamen 03

 

it’s okay

let it be, then i returned to the site

a few hours later

finally secured tickets on

the particular date we wanted

just to discovered that

my dad’s passport is expiring in

less than six months time

 

it’s okay

so we went to get it fixed, immediately

and came right back to book

and so.. there’s no available tickets again

 

it’s okay

probably tomorrow some tickets will be released

all i am asking for is a pair of tickets

economic class ticket,

non-promo price or whatsoever

 

today morning at 7am

the price has hiked up like so so much

a pair of returned ticket is amounted to 3312 MYR

2013.11.14 KL-Xiamen 

it’s okay

since my dad wanna go on this trip

quite badly for some time already

unlike the other destinations,

this is like a homegoing thing

so we shall proceed, although

it’s a little way out of the original budget

 

so here i went

trying for a couple times

still encountered the same thing

2013.11.14 KL-Xiamen 02

 

it’s okay

assuming there was an issue with the card

i tried to make a all new booking with debit card

which turned out to be:

no tickets are available anymore

not even one at the jacked-up price

 

so i don’t know

just let it be, i’ll see later if

tickets happened to be released

 

and it seems that MAS is the best alternative

comparing Xiamen Airlines which flies

once a week to and fro

Fri – Xiamen-KL

Sat – KL-Xiamen

and the price is way exceeding 4000 RMB

 

another choice, China Southern

which requires transit at Guangzhou

long hours of overnight at Guangzhou

i had spent night at Baiyun Airport and

definitely would not ask for another

 

after awhile

someone called me on phone

03 7882 3004

claiming to be customer service agent from MAS

she had all the details of mine, the flight details etc

asking if i would like to perform the transaction

over the phone with another card

 

of course not!

my first impression is

you spammer!!  MAS are just so screwed!

so i hung up,

she said will call back in 2 hours time to

confirm or else she would have to

cancel the pending booking

 

there ain’t much left,

only 4 tickets left for economic class

haha!! you gonna be kidding me

i was at the seat selection page earlier on

it was all so empty

 

i asked her if

she could release it immediately and

i could go online and grabbed it

she said no, because

there are other customers on the waiting list

 

okay whatever

i thought i really have to give up

because tickets were not released yet

until i was like

should i try once more on Skyscanner

 

yes i should

just a random try

and guess what

i found way cheaper tickets with Cathay Pacific

via Skyscanner, redirected to Expedia

700 MYR, cheaper for two pax

2013.11.14 KL-Xiamen 05

 

MAS called me up again

as promised, two hours after the first

i told her to just cancel the pending booking

i don’t want any more trip with MAS if

they could be that stupid to ask for

credit card details over the phone

 

although Cathay Pacific’s flight are indirect

with transit at Hong Kong

so much more flexible since

KL-HK flights are like 4 times per day

and there are so many choices to combine from

shortest are 2 hours,

some can even stay up to 12 hours in HK,

if you really want to

 

tried to book but i can’t

so i suspected that the credit card was locked

due to previous unsuccessful attempts with MAS

went to check at the bank

 

WTF!!

the transaction with MAS has been approved

according to the bank

so it’s pending payment

not-cancelable

 

but why,

if the transaction has been  approved

why didn’t they issue the ticket itinerary

no nothing

 

so i called them up

okay keep calm

and the agent actually told me

yes i made 3 attempts in total

1st one was canceled

2nd one was also canceled

 

but the 3rd transaction was pending

which means neither approved nor voided

so i actually have to wait for 7 working days

so that they will remit the money back to me

 

what the fuck is wrong with them

that’s 3,300 MYR

and i have to call up everyday if

it has already been refunded

 

that’s not all

since it is held up here

i wouldn’t dare to lock down the booking with

Cathay Pacific

 

what if suddenly MAS tell me

the pending transaction is successful

so congratulations we will issue the tickets

and i will be left with 4 pairs of tickets

 

so i couldn’t be doing anything

until any confirmation from MAS

what’s wrong with them

 

called up my bank again

and they actually said that

nothing can be done from their side

if MAS promised a refund then

i have to pressurize them more

 

black Thursday?

looks like it

pray for the best!

it couldn’t get any worse!

 

p.s.

i took back my word back in Mar

Clock Ticks X New Pick: Secured Airtics

no more MAS even if it’s cheaper than AirAsia

and hey, there’s Cathay Pacific still

which is connected to more cities at mainland

happy meal x paul frank: Go Banana with Julius

never fail to check this

whenever i pass by

finally something that interest me

 

used to blog a whole post to clarify

hey, this monkey is Julius

Paul Frank is the father of Julius

i mean.. the father as in creator

and the brand name being paul frank

without the capital letters

Paul Frank is not a Monkey

McDonalds happy meal X paul frank - Go Banana with Julius outlet display

 

after the

Hot Wheel x Barbie collection

followed by a “surprise-in-a-box”

it’s just a nicer term for

stock clearance

whatever leftover from previous collection

that would your surprise toy

 

was kinda excited

forgot to do what i usually did

to ask about the toys available

before ordering a meal

so i ended up with a “surprise in a box”

grotesque!!

uneven skin tone Barbie with

hair that looks as if she is a skinhead wearing a wig

and this is a play-pretend as Odette!

McDonalds happy meal X Barbie as odette

 

you gonna be kidding me!

i have a couple of happy meal Barbies

from previous collections

not nearly as bad

 

nevermind it’s okay

so when is Julius coming for real

McDonalds happy meal X paul frank - Go Banana with Julius 01

 

so what i will do here is to classify

(i) must-have

(ii) maybe

(iii) no, thanks

 

must-have

and maybe a pair

McDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius luggage tag

 

the higher-priority maybe

McDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius notebook

 

the normal maybe

McDonalds happy meal X paul frank - Go Banana with Julius Bendable FigureMcDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius magnets 

the lower-priority maybe

McDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius stationery kit McDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius watch

 

the this-is-kinda-interesting maybe

McDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius calendar

 

the definitely no noMcDonalds happy meal X Paul Frank - Go Banana with Julius bracelet

 

oh man

does it help if i classify this way

it’s like out of eight

i only made up my mind like

one item is a big no-no

but majority under “maybe”

arrggh i don’t know

 

that’s the thing

somehow happy meal doesn’t really

makes me happy at times

and i have to get rid of the non-veg burgers

one way or another in a

non-wasteful way

 

by the way

this was all over Europe, Oct-Nov

if this is landing here soon

no hesitation!! buy them all

if only, only if

i mean yesterday

while i fell asleep after one am

so what’s this??

 

Monday night

i fell asleep at 1something am

woke up Tuesday morning at 4 something am

which means less than 4 hours of sleep

commitment or errand for the day

 

i was like what the heck

there’s no way i could fall back to sleep

workout? 5am in the morning

alright bring it on

just to tire myself out a little

 

and I finally managed to

calm my rattled self

after digging some RubberBand’s videos

which are really good stuffs

ought to be shared long time ago

 

so in a nutshell

in line with the theme of the album,

entitled 《Easy》

they did some Easy Sessions

performing all ten songs in the album

at different locations

including a wet market, record store

which reflected back to

what are the songs are all about

 

yay that’s exactly what 《Easy》is all about

taking on a very comfortable tone and manner

fitting into the space that’s given

while exploring different themes on

people of all walks of life

common values, ambitions, anxiety

Rubber Band Easy

 

simple yet not easy!!

that’s their tag

Rats X Is That..: Caught in the Ad

summer 2013

such a pleasant surprise

to bump into full ambient ad of

 

《Caught in the Web》

my favorite movie back in summer 2013

Who’s Bad X Kinda Sad: Caught in The Web 搜索

 

one year gap,

so is this going to be here

like let's say on a long term basis

that would be great

 

but how about the costing?

and Tian An Men East is

one of the busiest Metro station in Beijing

 

Tian An Men Square

Forbidden City  

Maosoleum of President Mao

National Museum

are just around the corner

 

the museum is just stunning

can't wait to share,

until one find day when

I have the time to

hundred of photos are still stuck

in my camera, Lexis

 

National Centre for Performing Arts and

Great Hall of the People

are somewhere around too

 

so you probably can imagine

this is the heart of Beijing

at least for tourists and visitors

 

Caught in the web of Beijing

and it actually feels good

I don't know

I simply love being in Beijing

it has got too much to offer

Mentally Wrecked X Emotionally Depressed: Spiritually Dead

我累了

我真的很累

 

昨晚洗了澡刷了牙

就準備睡覺了

明明才七點鐘啊

但真的不想動了

晚餐就省了些功夫吧

 

結果

明明很累卻睡不著

刷YouTube到一點多

哇靠,得不償失

眼睛快瞎了才睡得着

 

今早上做早餐

当然就特别的饿

發現燕麥片吃完了

我明明記得還有大半包

怎麼就沒有了

這是從來沒發生過的事

那可是我為生的主食

 

中午睡個半小時的午覺

區卷在牆角,抱著平板睡

就為了不能太安逸,睡超時

 

模模糊糊的一直看時間

突然驚醒 喔四點半了

我明明才睡著不久

 

再看清楚,

沒事啦,是兩點半

不過也是時候復工了

 

傍晚,洗著澡

想着事 想着想着

莫名地惆悵起來

那種"週一藍"的不祥感


唉唷,週末就快過去了

進展太慢了,效率太低了

怎麼辦 怎麼辦

 

突然才發現今天是星期五,

對很多人而言,

週末剛剛開始

你幹嘛這樣啊!

 

我想

我真的累了。

 

很恐懼

電腦手機平板的通知

是哪個好同學突然發現

還沒弄作業來求救了

是哪個同學在問:

So who is doing this

So what am I supposed to do

 

我真的真的很累

再不消失恐怕就要瘋掉了

 

就撐著

過了禮拜一就沒事了

禮拜一後

再告訴自己

過了禮拜六就沒事了

 

沒事了 沒事了

累了就去睡吧

日免安

拜托不要再刷YouTube了

 

好了就刷一个MV

new release today

感覺特別好的畫面

 

我覺得要是后面

出水面的那part

突然contrast成彩色

會有種海闊天空的感覺

 

親愛的海洋君,

我想我想你了

 

在未來通通都也美麗到不能

我看盡悲愴學會天真盼望

我若栽種快樂

赤地總有春光

懸崖下天際無盡廣

要是我相信 置身於污泥也心花放

你亦可以渴望

以樂觀種甘果

浮雲下天際原是可

美麗到不能

昨天的哀愁即管釋放

詞:藍奕邦

監:何秉舜@goomusic/藍奕邦

 

面前有枯樹 春雨未降落
我也幻想過連日躲進病床
悄悄地歌唱 大地才唱和
在奇妙瞬間天色都清朗

我都放得下 懷疑絕望眼光
試著盲目信 今世不止沮喪
要薔薇盛放 我或要先張開臂彎 往外看
去迎接更好的風光
勾引那春天到訪

在未來通通都也美麗到不能
我縱沒魔法但有這點信望
我若栽種快樂
赤地總有春光
懸崖下天際無盡廣
要是我相信 置身於污泥也心花放

困於廢墟內 浮華尚未到訪
我仍盲目信 深處找到金礦
要蒞臨絕處 至能傻得即管放膽 靠幻覺
帶著我去掃走骯髒
指引我走出冷巷

在未來通通都也美麗到不能
我看盡悲愴學會天真盼望
我若栽種快樂
赤地總有春光
懸崖下天際無盡廣
要是我相信 置身於污泥也心花放

你亦可以渴望
以樂觀種甘果
浮雲下天際原是可
美麗到不能
昨天的哀愁即管釋放

R-MORTIS X Director’s Analysis: Cool, as He Always Is

I think creating anything,

the process is always really lonely.

But for me, I really enjoy the process.

This is a world that…

I kind of don’t want to leave.

 

I’m not a guy that… who is…

I’m not really interested in the news.

I’m not a political person.

I really enjoy living in a world that I create.

that’s why I love films, music

I love creating stuff.

 

It’s because I get to revisit my world,

it’s a world where I get to set things straight.

A world where I get to choose how…

my actors and actresses communicate with the world.

How they communicate with each other,

what would they do to a certain extreme.

 

This film like…

I’m working really hard with

the actors and actresses

because I really want them to… show themselves,

like the dark side, the twisted side,

and I believe that all of them are

working their assess off in

letting out a side where

they never really had a chance to

act as these kind of characters.

 

With my tone, with my style,

I tend to like my frame to be really steady,

to be really slow.

I like the dramatic change in

the human emotions, in their relationships,

《殭屍》電影解說 / 麥浚龍

 

found this Juno Mak official channel

while digging for RIGOR MORTIS clips

woohoo!! all the official clips of

those songs from the past.

some I haven’t seen, not even once

although being my favourite tracks

because those available are

TVB version, crap!

 

and the latest uploaded clip is

this RIGOR MORTIS, the making of

featuring Juno Mak as the director/writer

best of all, in English

 

he speaks perfect English

neither accent of the East

nor the West, in some cases quite fabricated

I don’t know

his simply sounds like

a comfortable tone

 

trust me,

live interviews and Q&A are as good

that’s just how great

our Mr. Director is

same tone, same content

but when he is back to

speaking Cantonese,

he sounds like a kid, which is

kinda cute  

 

Juno的僵屍夢 / FACE magazine interview

 

can’t help noticing

that evil Charlie Brown at the back

it’s a crossover between his brand

Chapel of Dawn X Made by Monsters X Ron English

which is known as

“Grin” Evil Charlie Brown

 

and it actually surprises me

he speaks decent Mandarin too

 

mesmerizing!

Rigor Mortis Poster

看或不去看《殭屍》

對我而言

其實是很矛盾

糾結了很久的一件事

 

我一直都有在follow Juno

一直都在聽他的歌曲

要不然我部落格

確實有個《Juno》的標簽

寫過17篇關於他的文

 

最近期一張《無念》

能夠一天都在單曲循環一首

《 彳亍》 和 《櫻吹雪》

之後期待他會快點再發作品

 

怎知就這樣

晃過了兩年了

他都在籌備開拍《殭屍》

2013之前

派臺歌也僅有一首,而且還是featuring

 

所以 說到底 我肯定要十博啊

但矛盾就出在

我是從來不看驚栗片的膽小鬼

更不用說去戲院看咯

 

但..是Juno臥?

-你真的不要看?對他沒信心?

個cast又這樣強大?

-你確定你不要看?

接著,好評如潮

確實替Juno開心 我忍著不去讀影評

不出十日,票房破千萬了

-你確定你不要看?

 

好了 死就死 闊出去了

就去看一次

老規矩,不看預告片

 

開場了!

畫面美得像"盜夢空間"的鬼片

你見過嗎?

 

從零到有的殭屍

告訴你殭屍是怎樣煉成的

真的有別於

一般鬼片里"現成"鬼的鬼屋

已經見怪不怪了

 

整個故事結構很飽滿

人物關係,他們的過去

都有始有終的

Rigor Mortis 01

 

故事一步步unfold

開始明確的建立至climax

不是全程玩心理戰術 靠嚇而已

 

場景設計的精緻度

更是沒話說

屋屯的壓迫感

單位佈置所代表

不同的identity

Rigor Mortis 04

 

Juno的拍攝手法很妙

很喜歡之中一幕

但我可能形容得不太好

反正是是惠英紅蹲著

突然鏡頭360度轉了個角度

還有一幕是孖女“飄著”

是有overlap scenes的

 

視覺設計很新

但回到故事中心

都圍繞著很傳統的

華人鬼片元素和迷信

 

其實以其叫迷信

這就是我們的文化色彩

所以雖然是新鬼片

劇情還是是親切的

Rigor Mortis 02

 

再加上人性關係那部分的結合

幾乎是非常邏輯的故事發展

故事分分鐘比哪一出劇情片

來的飽滿些

 

Climax的時候 我雙腳一直在踏拍子

哎呀 哎呀 怎麼辦怎麼辦

突然緊張了

人都死了 都死了

不就越來越多厲鬼了嗎

 

Juno 甚至連大螢幕

的演出經驗也不太多

但他怎麼可以那麼犀利

同時又很帥,有沒有?

looks like his favourite drink is Nescafe

and.. is that cigarette?

I think he is a heavy smoker

hey where am I now

開場不久

盧海鵬叔叔來開門那幕

很巧地,記起了

他和Juno在

<維多利亞港壹號>開場的那幕

兩個巡邏的差人 去敲門

結果就被何超儀捅死了麥浚龍 維多利亞港壹號 02

 

我也把電視關了

太重口味了

今天看回很難想象

那是彭浩翔的作品

麥浚龍 維多利亞港壹號

 

Juno 對這類重口味題材的興趣

要是有follow他的歌

應該不會太陌生

 

記得他在《超生培欲》的MV

是個殺人魔

殺的對象正是蒼井空

方大同的曲vs蒼井空

能把兩者聯在一起

大概不多人能做到

麥浚龍 蒼井空 超生培欲

 

還有那首有featuring Jan Lamb的

《成魔之路》

《Chapel of Dawn》那整張專輯

黑暗得好正

 

但Juno就有這樣的魔力

他是個詭異天才

《金馬獎》新導演獎!冇問題啦

Tesco X Marvel & Pixar: Friends and Heroes

isn’t it nice to be greeted by this

and they are all over the place in there

Tesco Heroes and Friends 01

 

stamp collection scheme

50 RM for one stamp

10 stamps for a free toy

or with 5 stamps, just top up 4.90 RM

Tesco Heroes and Friends 02

 

and certain products come with

extra stamps but

the bonus is subjected to

maximum of two extra stamps for

purchase above 100 RM,

and one for transaction of RM 50

Tesco Heroes and Friends 03

 

alright I got mine, by topping up 4.90 RM

the issue was

all the 8 models come in the same box

so that’s no way to guess

which one you are actually getting

that’ bad

Tesco Heroes and Friends 04

 

because I do not one any of the

Marvel heroes

I want the Monsters and

and after having them

don’t mind having the Toy Story’s duo

 

and sealed in a black bag

such high level of confidentiality

Tesco Heroes and Friends 05

 

but the girl in charge

she actually figured out which box

contains Mike because

its shape is more compact, when

she gave the box a shake

and weights heavier

compared to the rest

who are quite “human”

 

so she is right,

thank goodness

Tesco Heroes and Friends 06 Mike

 

there’s a marker pen on top of the cap

where my finger was

Tesco Heroes and Friends 07 Mike

 

my extra stamp from Chips More

reserve it for the next round

but these stamps are really adorable, right
