Michael Forever!

雖然不能死時美如秋月，已經不忍看他逐漸腐朽的臉和低落的人生。我想這是最好的終點。讓我們重新回顧他燦爛的音樂與舞蹈奇才。

休假日的好天氣

在白板凳上喝著拿鐵 ，聽著Keith Jarrett，等著進入皇家藝術學院欣賞夏展。太陽暖暖的，天空藍藍的。深深呼吸這樣的自在。

Tasting Chateau du Seuil (Cérons, Bordeaux)

Date: 18 June 2009
Venue: Tapestry Room, Gore Hotel, London

Sean and Nicola Allison's wine is clean, truthful and mineral with a strong sense of constraint. But it would be very wrong to think that constraint is equivalent to subtlety.

Chateau du Seuil Rosé 2007/8

Very subtle hints of vanilla, strawberries, raspberries with dry finishing. It's not the rosé rosé but I ADORE THIS COLOUR!

Chateau du Seuil Graves Blanc 2004

Very classic white, rich mineral and clean palate

Chateau du Seuil Graves Rouge 2004

The cork vaporises wonderful scents of sandalwood, ground spices and dried cranberries.

The wine has a rounded start and peppery finish - soft for a 4 year old claret but the sequence of the waves is not quite right for me. I suspect Sean has a love for liquor. And I actually expected a grander wine from its cork but no, it's not there. The body failed to capture the fairy of fragrance.

The dessert wine is Chateau du Seuil Cérons 2006

Overall, this is a very fun evening with descent food and good wine. Though it may not be the kind of wine that one falls in love at the first sight, it has a unique identity of its own that can be appreciated. I feel like that I have rubbed the hotel because the wine tasting event is such an amazing offer from Wine Studio. But you will only realize the value when you turn up since it’s not the commercial wine tasting environment you would usually expect. I would be happy to go on monthly basis. Well, if there is a second time and with different wine makers of course!

This is the first time that I put personal photos on my blog. Maybe I am feeling too at ease that this site doesn’t really reach the mass.

創作首飾

緣自與感謝慕的啟發，讓我開始體會雙手創作首飾的樂趣。

第九個夏天

莎士比亞曾經提過溫柔灰藍又微微陰霾的天空嗎 ?

這是在英國的第九個夏天。

幾許晴朗的日子，在我的花園裡，索求久違的太陽。花園裡有玫瑰花，與蘋果樹下的虎斑貓嶼小黑貓。幸福是不及十分之一生活的小小愜意。

許多年後的我再也不會一個勁地，在陌生的聚餐裡，打起自己的毛線。

一百五十西西的葡萄酒也不會讓我醉。

我給予朋友的多，受之的少。並且了解我是曾經多麼地被寵護。

我想念抒發與發呆的自由。雖然我珍惜真實的生活的磨練。

還有呢 ?

我吃魚。最愛的魚。我喝酒。貪戀更多美酒。我渴望太陽。一個新的概念。我喜歡marmite。一件起初讓我作嘔的怪東西。我試圖維持和諧氣氛；女主人樣地。

有時覺得很渴很累。但除了想家，我已經獲得愛情與信賴。

紀欣 Evgeny Kissin 六月五日倫敦演奏會

初次聆聽紀欣的演奏會，是在二零零七年。便愛上了他的專注。隨即訂購之後一年的票劵。去年冬，因為旅途勞累，而錯記了日期，十分懊惱。

二零零九年，仔仔細細地記著。

紀欣的演奏依舊如此完美。完美在於無保留地，將自我的存在揉入音樂的至境。至美。

而今年，透過普羅高菲夫，他展現了屬於個人的，溫潤如玉的，強勁。而不是全然投降於藝術。

彷彿熟悉又陌生的蕭邦，透過紀欣的手指，鮮活起來。溫柔的思念與熱切的渴望，在我心底震動。流出了眼淚。
