Passionate Cookies / 熱情的笨蛋

我常在想,我在人生裡做的蠢事一定和我的魯莽脫不了關係,但別人認為是很衝動的行為,我卻掛以熱情之名。

I often wonder about the connection between my being prone to acts of idiocy and the fact that I can sometimes be straightforward and blunt. Or maybe what others define as “impulsive decisions” is actually the result of too much passion from my point of view.

十個月前薛吉和我很衝動地在一夜之間買了去西班牙的機票,六個月前成行,旅途中亂闖亂撞,偶然喝酒還頭疼地睡不著,雖然這些聽起來都不是很優雅的行為,但我們在旅行中開口畫大餅的畫展有一半已經實現了,還是薛吉領頭陣呢!

Ten months ago Shaggy and I randomly picked Spain as our summer travel destination in a casual talk, and we booked tickets within less than 24 hours. We made it to Europe six months ago. On the trip, we did quite a few crazy and stupid things, and even a small dose of booze gave us a sleepless night, which had to be concluded by a Panadol pill for each of us. Well, these are far from being graceful, but why don’t we look on the bright side? We made lofty plans about the exhibitions, and look, Shaggy has carried out her part of the promise!

薛吉的畫展一月一日在「步調」咖啡開展,由於熱情的笨蛋雙人組走低調路線,沒有開幕酒會,但是如果你趕得及在咖啡店一開館搶頭香,搞不好可以在我們快閃之前來場專業導覽!

Shaggy’s exhibition will start from Jan. 1st in Tote Café. Due to the low-key profile of the duo, Passionate Cookies, there is no opening ceremony. But if you can make it to the café when it opens at around noon time, we will offer you a free yet professional tour guide before we take off!

Saturday’s evening lesson / 星期六的晚課

週末晚上九點半,我和小方坐在書桌前塗鴉,這本來是我的圖畫,他的作品載滿了水彩和水,再也容不下任何顏色時,便跑來和我一起玩這張圖。

9 pm on Saturday. Von and I sat at the desk doodling. This should be MY work, but after his picture couldn’t take any water and watercolor, I invited him to play with me.

Concerto of rain and sneakers / 雨和慢跑鞋的協奏曲

前幾天去慢跑時,音樂會的演奏者正在室外做最後一次排練,本來我總是安靜地運動,當時突然多了現場的大提琴伴奏,外頭下著冷冷的毛毛雨,跑鞋都濕透了,我的心卻異常溫暖雀躍。

That chilly evening when I went for my routine jog, the musicians were having their last rehearsal outside the hall. I’d always run in silence, but then the mellow notes of cellos became my warm companion in the drizzly darkness. My sneakers were soaking wet, but inside my heart I was soaring with bliss in the sunny cloudless sky.

What about your morning? / 你那邊的早晨呢?



給去了美國的James;給留在這裡的我們

For James in Kansas, for us here


冬天早晨,冷冽的空氣,女孩開始練習發聲,我把音階畫下來,是一層一層的藍色音波,空氣裡有新鮮的松針的味道。

Winter morning, brisk air, girls ballet on musical scales with their youthful and tender voices—in my picture, they are waves of all kinds of blue hues, fresh smell of pine needles drifts into the classroom.
