Facade
from Singapore Writers' Festival 2007











We had less than an hour to do this.
The flexible 360∘ spotlights with total computerized colour control is simply amazing.

What's In My Head?




Almost like Harry Porter's Hat, this website allows you to enter your name and reveal what's in your head.

休: Rest, lots of it
忘: Emptiness
噓: Lies

Full description of terms:

惱 -> 煩惱
愛 -> 愛
休 -> 解釋為只想休息的人。能坐就不站、能躺就不坐。
H -> SEX
食 -> 吃。
金 -> 錢。
欲 -> 物欲、甚至要說是權力的欲也可以。因為整個腦都是欲的芭樂,就是一直以為自己是一個很行的卡小。事實上他只是個屁。準。
秘 -> 就密秘。藏私。隱私。
遊 -> 愛玩人。
噓 -> 謊言。
惡 -> 就”惡” ,不用多解釋的惡。
忘 -> 健忘、放空、無我之境界?
逃 -> 逃避。逃在某種程度來說也滿恐怖。
學 -> 和中文一樣是學習。真是熱血正面的一個字。
酒 -> 能有這個字真是太酷了。
友 -> 朋友。
妄 -> 妄想。很愛肖想一些有的沒的。
變 -> 我只聯想到變態的變,變質者。 -> 日文有這個
貓 -> 不知道是啥
幻 -> 幻想、白日夢

This is way too cool.

We talked about death and dying on air for two consecutive Saturdays with Yee Leong in conjunction with Good People, The Necessary Stage's production from 01 November to 11 November at TNS Black Box.

I chose two poems to read on air. Wei read one from Tsai Ming Liang's book "What Time Is It There?" and I read Boey Kim Cheng's "After The Fire". I uploaded what I recited 'live' here.




If death is loss, perhaps we experience death everyday.
But like Boey Kim Cheng's father, the living will recollect the ashes, and the dead will live again.

15 October 2007

我不常喝咖啡,總覺得咖啡帶酸而又苦澀干焦的;
但因近日睡眠不足,只好喝咖啡提神。

這幾天發生的事有如旋風般的強勢:
震憾,短暫(或許)

聽說姨媽要進手術室動心臟,
我全家人出動到她家拜訪。

姨媽家中沒人,於是我們一家七口在大門外等。
我和媽媽躲在車上,聽歌。
媽媽開懷得唱了起來。
“拿起了鋤頭來,鋤啊鋤野草,鋤啊鋤去野草呀好長苗。”
媽媽有鼻炎,常喘氣,唱歌也是這樣。
不善操做現代机器的她很少聽歌,或許因此也好久沒有聽到她的歌聲。
“假惺惺, 假惺惺,作人何必假惺惺?”
白光每次唱到“一板正經,何必呢?”媽都會對自己笑。
她說她常說老爸假惺惺,假正經。

外頭的街燈照進車內,我脫了鞋,躺在後車座。
隨著音樂擺動雙腳的同時,我想著當下的這一個情節。
我極力注意凝視環境,試著記錄所有瑣碎細節:
車上有淡淡的郁金花香。

坐在姨媽家的客廳,眼前大家相互談話的情景就像過春節 –
如此的親,卻又如此的陌生。
偶然聽見她解釋為何病危還硬要去找她弟弟還錢。
她說不要欠到下一世。
姨媽早有打算,在還有能力辦事時,把該交代的都做好了。
唯獨心中的恐俱,揮之不去。

車上与媽媽聽歌的那一幕油然而生。
天氣晴朗,微風不斷。
車窗封閉,回音旋繞。

今早睡醒隨著陽光從藍色的窗簾透射至室內的光線,
看到枕頭凹陷凸顯曾睡過的痕跡;
腦裡開始幻想下一個世紀,在這同一片土壤或同一座樓,仍酣睡,或即蘇醒的人...

這時心情莫名沉重。

媽,若我讓您失望傷心,或許你不懂我的心。

不習慣喝咖啡的我,喝了之後,心跳加速,忐忑不安。
心壞了可以醫;
心碎了如何拼?

Watching Loo on screen is like getting to know your best friend all over again.

The film should be out in a month's time. Visit Chia Meng's site for more details. The poster is really a temp one I made for fun.
(I know the colour is a little too yellow. But I'm too tired to change it. Heh.)
