夢 no.2
因為每天都有去做運動流流汗
所以大白天身體感覺還不錯
但一到晚上十點多
鼻子就開始覺得透不過氣
有一個半的鼻孔是是閉塞了
難受得很
讓我每晚很久才能入睡
也因此最近睡得比較短,比較淺
也不知道是否每天運動開始讓身體覺得有點"restless"(很精神)
不單止不想睡
而且每每天沒亮就醒過來
但是懶惰的我當然會先看看鬧鐘
(喔!才五點五十分)
知道是起來去上最早的yoga session的好時機
卻往往貪戀暖"立立"的被鋪
繼續大被蓋過頭..睡覺去也
很多時就在這時候做最精彩的夢
今天早上是以下兩段...
(一)
發現我躺在已關了燈的yoga studio內
看到朋友M
我問m:"我不是明明miss了6:45分的class 嗎?"
(為什麼我會躺在這,像剛做完最早一堂的呢)
m答我: "對啊!我們剛完成了6:45的class"
我感覺很奇怪...
怎麼會記不起呢...真奇怪...
m還有再重新回答
"真的..我們剛完成了6:45的class"
當然...醒過來真的知道那不就僅僅是個夢
還有朋友m是永遠不會上那麼早的yoga堂的...
傻瓜...
(二)
我回到墨爾本大學
但是那些建築明明不是真正的墨爾本大學
但是在夢中卻覺得我已經回來過好幾次的
那些建築跟大學內的街道,佈局
其實有點像真的墨爾本大學再加一些愛丁堡和Glassglow的建築Hybrid結合
我在一埬建築內看著外面
還感覺到很深對墨爾本大學建築的驕傲和歸屬感...
現在還記得那些景像

新一年又來了
這次對感覺很奇怪很新鮮
沒有特別的歡呼
但也沒有悲哀
新年前好幾個很好的朋友剛生了小孩
也有好朋友們結婚了
但也聽到幾個朋友的親人患了重病
新年前一天新聞看到有小孩看著爸爸把媽媽殺,然後跳樓了
臺灣地震也有小孩在醫院醒過來發現腿給切了
絕對不是悲觀
只是好像開始看到
生命,死亡,凋謝,生長,摧殘,創造..好像原來都是連在一起
要認識人生,仿佛是要包涵這一切
當然也明白
每天起來呼吸空氣
有乾淨的水.有食物..
還有好像永遠沒完沒了的功課..哈. 這些是何等的"福"..知足常樂也
朋友給我說她在倫敦的新年倒數派對
“離開時已經兩點半。回家途中﹐街上都是飲得昏醉半清醒的人 嘔吐的人回到家門前時﹐聽見鳥兒在叫了那一刻 仿彿覺得 小鳥比人類更清醒 和 健康多了”
小鳥們的每天都是新一天
沒有分新年,生日,或者什麼紀念日..
好好過每一個新的大白天吧…
新年快樂

随便写(二) "呼吸"
身体的力量源自吸气..呼气...吸气..呼气...
没有呼吸...就没有生命
小孩从母亲肚子挤出来了...
第一学会的是吸气..呼气...第二才是哭 (应该是两者同步..哈哈!!)
爬山时满脸通红... 脚很累...到达山顶...第一个反应
是很自然的深呼吸...那空气吸进身体...像饿了要吃一样
才发现原来是最基本的养分
哭了急了的时候..呼吸变得混乱
有时甚至弄到鼻子塞了... 难受得很
要跟自己说... 慢慢的调整...
来,一,二,三...吸气..呼气...
记得中学上台表演前紧张了
不记得是谁教我
先把手捻住鼻子十几秒
然后跟着便会很自然的来几个深呼吸
心跳便能减慢一点
yoga老师说,做完一个动作.
觉得很累,呼吸很急了
做下一个动作之前
尝试把呼吸调慢
吸气用几秒,而吐气甚至要更长几秒
这样心跳便会慢下来
力气也会找回来,心情也不会那么急
原来每天也在呼吸
很多时侯却忘了.. 意识跟身体变得没有交流了...
要再意识到自己的呼吸,
哎!今天呼吸的感觉是怎么样的啊?
一早起来,先来个深呼吸
帮意识和身体发电吧...
(哈哈...不知道自己在写什么....哈哈....)
可能是: celebration of our breath!

後知後覺
他不是正在Chicago讀PhD嗎?
原來他只是回來香港幾天參加會議
我們在講那個art project 不斷延遲的事情
B突然很自然的說..
“A這幾個月也不可以啦.她的小孩兩個禮拜要出來了..”
我怔住了…A a a a a…?生小孩?
(吓! 我不知道啊?….)
的確是好五個月沒見過A,但是我也和她MSN,SMS和通過電話..
甚至有幾次相約,但是後來總是其中一方爽約趕不上
然後我開始大笑..
我問B,是真的嗎?你不是在講笑
他還說,你怎麼會不知道的?
哈哈哈..我真是後知後覺..我是怎麼做朋友的..
幸好孩子還沒出來
要不然更後知後覺更好笑…
真的是替A很開心
趕快打電話給大肚婆
她也不為意我不知道…哈哈哈…我們都笑了
都是保持平常心好…
今天終於約她吃午飯了…

school update

Here are some fresh photos taken by Jules and Anja last weekend. I met them last night in HK, had dinner with them.
They went to Labrang and visited Sherap's grassland hometown in Choni (Zhuoni county), about 5 hours drive from Labrang.
They had a look at the school building and they said it looks good! There is no chair and table at the moment, they will take the old furniture from the old school room up on the mountain. School shall starts after golden week holiday.

Grassland School progress report no.2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following a phone conversation with Sherap (Xizhu) yesterday, please be noted that "Phase 1" of the grassland school construction at Kajiacun village has been completed.
Now the main school building is up and running. This single building includes 2 class rooms, 2 bedrooms for teachers and 1 bedroom for visitor. The next phase (in which fund raising is still in progress) will include the ground work for the playground, playground facilities, as well as fencing wall for the school premises.
There is now 1 teacher sent by the county government and 33 students all together starting from grade 1 level. Sherap is in the process of applying for one more teacher to be sent by the county government.
Some Dutch friends are now visiting Sherap at Labrang. They are planning to visit the school this Thursday (5 Oct). I am looking forward to chat with them when they stop by Hong Kong late next week.

隨筆
做了一個很忙碌的夢,在小街走來走去,
上落樓梯,穿過一扇木門,在公園坐下來了
在咖啡室碰到不太熟識的朋友,跟朋友的女朋友自我介紹了一番,也沒有管他們要不要聽, 好奇怪啊..
在身旁有一個人,但是看不見,陪著我在小巷子裏走來走去,那把聲音叫我去這一邊,去那一邊,叫那個人,不如做這件事.但是連在做夢中的我也感覺眼皮乏力,睜不開眼睛, 睜開了眼睛也對不到焦點…是很努力,我很想回答,很想被理解. 但是畢竟是太累了,那是一種身不由自己的感覺…你有沒有試過這樣的感覺
….
安靜的星期六下午是個下雨天
直到早上.已經享受了好一陣子放晴的日子.
幾個小時之前姐姐還在電話那邊問我那個沙灘有沒有更衣洗澡的設備
…..
建築-城市-歷史-經歷-記憶
從前有一個外來人把他多年的經歷,事情和當地歷史寫下來,
讀過後, 感到若要真正認識一個城市,去瞭解他/她建築,那是從養份開始的,
是一層一層的,像在剝洋蔥,用自己的手一片一片拿著,放下,看下去
原來沒有一個中心,沒有總結,沒有最終目的真理…
所有的故事,點滴,和片片的真實, 已經建立在那不斷變化的社會層面上
是在人物,角色,街道,房間上,互相不斷的交錯,成為一片一片的實體,載著記憶,故事
四年前到過那裏旅遊
現在才開始感到有可能真正的去認識她
她叫拉薩...

new toy - lamellaphone


Below is a photo taken from The Pitt Rivers Musuem at Oxford
http://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/

Description from Wikipedia:
Lamellaphone (also called "Lamellophone") describes any of a family of musical instruments. The name comes from the Latin root "lamella" for "plate", and the Greek root "phone" for "sound". The name derives from the way the sound is produced: the instrument has a series of thin plates, or "tongues", each of which is fixed at one end and has the other end free. When the musician depresses the free end of a plate with a finger, and then allows the finger to slip off, the released plate vibrates. A tongue may be plucked either from the top or from the bottom.
A large number of lamellaphones originate in Africa, where they are known under different names including "sanza", "kisanji", "likembe", "mbira", "mbila", and "kalimba". They play an important role in African Music. They were reported as early as the 16th century, but there is no doubt they have a much longer history. The Caribbean marimbula is also of this family.
