來自希臘的NEVER ON SUNDAY老情歌

今天早上 9:30 起床，淚眼盈眶，夢到我和我弟約翰回到鄉下去‧每天都在休息，閒閒無事‧突然一個禮拜就過了‧我也改回台北了‧我往家里的後方找我媽說再見‧她叫我往後面看‧家裡的後面有了一條河，以前沒有的‧河的對面有一些欄房子，有些遊民住在那兒‧在左邊的遠方有新市場‧我叔叔在那邊開金店，生意都做的不錯‧我跟我爸媽到家裡的大廳坐在長板凳上‧我還沒說話就開始流眼淚了‧確定了要走我和我第就買了船票回雅加達‧但是船票沒位子了‧我跟船長拜託讓我們上去‧所以我們要藏在船上的一個角落的的小箱子裡‧

我叫麗娟起來，她還一直躺在床上不想起來‧我打開MSN，看到莉莎在線上‧我就跟她分享『NEVER ON SUNDAY』那首歌‧我寄給她一手 CONNIE FRANCIS 和一手 LES ENFANTS 唱的‧味道都不太一樣‧LES ENFANTS 唱的全部用希臘語唱的，感覺非常新鮮‧

我跟法瑞帝說過要一起去動物園‧我帶我女朋友，他帶他老婆‧但是看起來麗娟不太想跟別人出門‧他比較喜歡跟我兩人出去玩‧我有時候覺得比較多人比較多話題聊而已‧因為我和他有的共同話題很少‧我就愛講語言，字原，語法講到沒完沒了‧他就想說聊貓咪，貓沙，貓龍，貓貓貓貓貓‧你知道我的意思了吧‧
我現在放『SPEEDY GONZALES』來聽‧非常喜歡這首歌‧麗娟在旁邊排序那些往月的發票看有沒有中獎‧

嗯，我想今天寫夠了‧下次再繼續‧

最初の中文簿洛克(blog)

我從今天開始要用中文來寫日記了‧
雖然對我可能有點困難，或許寫出一大堆英式中文的垃圾也沒關係‧
當作練習也可以‧水會『嗯呢微』‧
今天發生了什麼事？
沒有，生活很平凡的過‧一天過一天‧我爸叫我找個新頭路看看‧
是否會快點發財‧發財? 我還記得他自己跟我說：『賺錢要勤，發財要命』‧
也許我沒有發財的命但我也已經很努力了‧爸問我要不要回老家--邦戛，我說假期太短了，
我只回椰城好了‧參與表哥的婚禮後再玩幾天就回台北了‧

法瑞帝寫個斷訊過來‧問我是否週末去動物園或去平西看元宵節的燈籠也不錯‧
我還是地問老婆大人啊，他想去那兒玩，就去那兒玩吧‧

明天禮拜六中午妹姐又要道那個土城二段的泰國餐廳請客‧我吃了太多頓飯了‧
都沒請過大家吃過一頓飯‧也許大家看不起我‧賺沒錢‧還是‧‧‧我那知‧
過幾天，小姑也要回香港了‧我們在椰城阿雄的婚禮見面吧‧

我覺得自己有點失敗‧‧‧人說三十而立‧我也有三十二了‧還沒有把生活整頓好‧
哎‧‧‧希望我的拼字遊戲大賣吧‧這樣可能還有比較好的希望‧

過年會誰家?

I took earlier leave from the office at highnoon on Tuesday Feb 20 2004. With heart of fixed emotions, of frustration from the year to pass and expectation for the year to come. I put on enough jacket to beat the cold outside and took and MRT ride down to 古亭. I meet Joe Varadi and Vicky at 古亭. Varadi showed us down the basement and headed for his Opel baby. He drove right out from the basement and we stopped at Gongguan to buy some 鍋貼. We drove further down and stopped near the highway entrance to fill up our stomach with 鍋貼 and 豆漿(soya milk). We hurried back to the car after meal as it started to drizzle. Joe stepped on the gas and we speed up the highway. We had great convo during the ride; about Chinese, words, etymology, languages.

We stopped in 台中清水 rest area. We went to the mall, bought the 豆乾, watch the shark fish, and play the "hit the mouse" game. We also went to the peepeetoria. I've never seen a public toilet that big. And we get relieved, I mean released :-) We took on the road again and it was almost 4:30. We kept on talking and riding, while Vicky were sleeping at the back seat with her coco and awu (I don't fancy cats. ) We went over and passed 高雄 's exit and end up near 山地門. "Damn, we're in 屏東 county now." We asked for direction from the guy at the fuel station. He told us to drove our way back to 高雄. I'm much geographically blind, and am not good at reading map. I feel so ashamed to sit on the co-navigator's seat.

We finally arrived in 高雄 district of 左營, but we still couldn't find Varadi's home. It took us so long, finally his wife decided to come out and pick us up somewhere near the Bank of Taiwan. Vicky and I took a taxi ride back to her parents after we bid farewell and 新年快樂 to Varadi and wife.

I do not fancy spending Chinese lunar year there:-( it's all eat eat sleep eat sleep and eat again and sleep again. I called Varadi, and we went to see the Last Samurai on the second day of new year. The only thing I love best the having the 功夫茶 (kungfu tea) with Vicky's dad. My cough's getting worse in 高雄 as the weather gets colder. I couldn't imagine if I were in 台北. Hearsay, it was 5 or 6 degree celcius in 台北 at the same time. It was already freezing cold in 高雄. We had to take motorcycle ride at night beating with the cold winds and see Vicky's brother off to the train station. We left 高雄 on the third day of new year bringing with us memory and comfort of Vicky's parent's care. Another nightmare waiting. Traffic jam over 9 hours on our way back to 台北. We arrived in 台北 at 9:30. We took a cab at 台北車站 and headed straight home. Damn, it's still cold here. :-(
