德意志行(3): 法蘭克福湖畔



這天的法蘭克福風和日麗,在湖畔的草地上躺着,望着藍藍的天,吃着熱狗喝着可樂,真的很寫意。我用手機拍下了這幅畫面,有種想即時傳送的衝動,但我真不肯定該送給誰看。

也許因為長途飛機所帶來的疲憊,我身旁的工友還睡着了。

如果可以選擇,我最希望那刻會是誰在自己的身邊? 我問了一下自己。

肯定不是同行的工友。對不起啦! 彼此彼此吧! 良辰美景,你也一定不想身旁的是我這個工友。

人生總是這樣,在適當的時間和環境,適當的人卻沒有及時進入畫面。

只能用想像力把來自未來的你key上去。。。

希望日後讓你知道。

德意志行(2): Art in Frankfurt

Frankfurt is just a stopover in this trip. I spent the first afternoon there to wind down a bit before getting on the train to Muenster. Frankly never expect to experience something special. However, it turned out to be a very fulfilling afternoon, compensating for the fatigue after a long haul.

My first target is the Schaumainkai, the area inhabited by the city's most famous museums. I went to 3 of them, namely the Städel Museum, Deutsches Architektur Museum (DAM) and Museum für Kommunikation, all of which are cool enough for beginning my art journey.


1) Städel Museum


J.H.W. Tischbein, Goethe in the Campagna, 1787

The Städel contains 700 years of European art history and represents it in a collection of numerous paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by big names from Dürer to Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso etc. Although the collection there might not be first rate as compared to MOMA or Tate, it is a very good illustration of art evolved from Proto-Renaissance to Modern time.

If you are into German Expressionism, you will find some nice surprises from acclaimed artists such as Kirchner and Macke.


August Macke, Little Walter's Toys, 1912


2) Deutsches Architektur Museum

Strolling along, I found DAM, which has some nice exhibitions this fall.

Here are those I saw :-

a) European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture: Mies van der Rohe Award 2007

The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart designed by UN Studio --> this model has an impact on me, you'll know why very soon :)



The Phaeno Science Centre in Wolfsburg, designed by Zaha Hadid --> A complex and intricate design with a lot of symmetry. Not a sweet-looking type but it's intriguing!

In 2007, the prize went to Emilio Tuñόn Álveres + Luis Moreno Mansilla for their Center for Modern Art M.U.S.A.C (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León) . Modern art now finds its way to a colorful and vibrant domicile in Spain. One day I should go there too!

b) Patent Constructions. New Architecture Made in Catalonia

Featuring a lot of new and innovative architecture projects in Catalonia, Spain. I often wonder if the Spaniards know some sort of magic spell or they must have fertile imagination in art and architecture.

c) Gaudi Unseen



On Spanish architecture again. Ages ago I saw this gorgeous building, which is yet to be finished. It is still there with ongoing construction. I don't think we can see it done in our life time. Why? after seeing the video as presented in this exhibition, you'll know why. It is compared to a 100-year monumental sculpture project. Spanish people really sculpt the building day by day!


3) Museum für Kommunikation

The building itself is eye-catching enough with a large amount of natural light coming through. Though the exhibition inside is not paricularly exciting, still managed to find cute art piece there.

A telephone sheep. What an imaginative metamorphosis!



A Nam June Paik installation, which is by far the most powerful attraction of the museum?



On the away, there're often nice stuffs around the corner :)

德意志行(1): 多哈一瞥

這次闖啤酒國,乘搭從未試過、甚至連聽都未聽過的Qatar Airways。點解? 我冇得揀架。。。不過,當抱着「未試過咪試吓囉」的心態,有時也會獲得有趣新體驗。



從香港出發飛多哈再轉飛法蘭克福,途程歷時前8後6(未計轉機等候時間)。辛苦嗎? 幾啦。不過中途落機舒展一下筋骨也無壞。

我對多哈的印象僅限去年的亞運,還有那裡的人應該會包頭巾、騎駱駝兼有很多石油吧!



多哈機場也算大又空曠,上機落機次次勞動shuttle bus,轉來轉去都幾頭暈。不過它的免稅店物價廉宜,特別是香水。我和同伴不停試呀試,連倦意也驅散不少呢!

我還看見這個BMW Convertibles,兩眼發直了﹗ 點樣參加抽獎o架?? *O*~

回來了



回家啦, 好攰呀*______*~~~

不過, 感覺充實又滿足, 還趕及在港過中秋, 爽呀!

叉下電先, 之後再慢慢分享旅程所見所感!

Leaving Muenster

I am about to leave Muenster...

Full of adventures here, in art as in life!

After Skulptur Projekte Muenster 07, I think I will never be the same again!

OK now, next stop -- > Kassel!!

Arriving Muenster

My first picture on this ancient medieval city that is mingled smoothly with modernity.



And I have my BD breakfast here, a nice buffet at a cozy and hospitable hotel :)



And my adventure of the Muenster Skulptur Projekt 07 shall now begin...

Arriving Frankfurt

On 15.09.2007

A very chilly morning at the frankfurt airport.



Frankfurt is full of surprise -- not a vibrant city at all but i like its serenity. I visited its state museum (which gives its audience a succinct art history survey from medieval to modern and contemporary times) and architecture museum (DAM). They are terrific! Got to share with you guys later.

起程了



今天我帶着Sa從德國帶回來給我的Documenta紀念品起程,準備讓它重遊故地。

大會本就希望這個小小襟章能鼓勵人分享與交流,現在我更期望它能為我帶來更多的驚喜與幸運。

這段時間,大家也可照常留言給我,若有internet access,我也會嘗試update一下近況的。

百公里路



昨天午飯時看到了一段記錄片,描述企鵝每年在攝氏零下六、七十度的冰天雪地中,毋懼風霜與惡劣的天氣,長途跋涉走過幾百公里路,為的只是要繁殖下一代。

人是萬物之靈,當中又有多少願意走這百公里路? 有時我們對着心儀的對象,卻連一步也踏不出,一個字也說不出口。

不禁覺得人不如鵝!

卒之有喇叭



In my BD goodie bag, I found this -- Agnès b. "Bande à part" amplifiers.

Life should be full of goodies -- Joven, you make my day, yeah!

我的iPod, 卒之可以放低, 毋須隨身聽了。

逝去了的都已逝去~啊~啊~啊!

"浪漫,可以苦心經營。感動,來自生活點滴。"

終於在家看了《每當變幻時》。

令我即時想起有人曾說過的4種人:

1. 與你相愛的人
2. 你最愛的人
3. 最愛你的人
4. 與你結婚的人

如果可以的話,同一個人,同時出現,同步前進,何等完美幸福。這就是我們大多數人的追求吧!

想要Prada,也渴望得到Gucci,於是對自己說要一個像Prada的Gucci。錢包勉強還可以這樣改造而成,然而人終究不是Lego。

我們常站在愛情的十字路口,盼望有個100%的他或她在不遠處,跟我們俏然遇上,所以若沒遇上那位,寧可不要!

跟着是,韶華去。。。

然後在某一點,大家有可能需要抉擇一下。之不過,我們無法得知將來能否不悔而矣! 倘若無悔,是wise。遺憾嗎? 這叫miss,或者but(即無奈,據說「快亦燶」是這樣教的)!

只能夠說,沒有在一生那一剎作出適當決定,也可以說無緣吧!

錯失的人與事,俱成為成長的重要過程。還有就是,別要重複犯錯!

阿妙其實是活在許許多個你、我或他當中。

莉莉,我真的感到still but!

一齊睇:
唏噓猶勝無奈
每當變幻時—你我有心追隨

因為即將起程前往德國的關係,這個星期吃了三幾頓生日飯,感覺像是做女王一樣嘆^ v ^

星期五,再次在鎌記打邊爐,十幾人場面真係異常震撼,多謝各路工友鼎力支持。難得昔日工友阿業也來贈慶,之後Sa與我更力邀他小組唱K,順便充當一下我們的戀愛顧問,小兄弟翌日還要上班,咁樣陪我地顛,認真唔話得,夠朋友!

星期六,在Joven悉心安排下,去了京士頓街的Le Pain Grillé(我第一次去咋!),與Jen & Eric一齊慶祝! Jen與我的生日只差兩天,去年九月才跟她在某一次K局相認,後來驚覺大家有很多「倒模」的興趣、經歷及思考模式,今年有幸跟她同埋佢個肥相公慶祝生日,份外興奮! 這頓飯超美味,原來每間Le Pain Grillé的拿手菜不一,這店的海鮮很讚,詳見這裡(我又偷懶了咔咔咔)。說實在的,真要萬分感謝Joven跟Wilson的心思,十分窩心。

Jen送的兔仔杯,可愛得令人愛不釋手! 還有Joven的橙味香水,好清新,是L'Occitane耶! 唔…要同爽身粉味香水爭寵了~呵呵~

另,多謝肥相公的祝福,好有心思,是雙重意義呢! 好,咁我就面也不紅的收下 <-- 唔知醜呀> o <~~



願望年年做女王!

健康, 不甚好!
可是, 仍然...
迷上了「他」^ 3 *


Facebook村民, 有緣相遇, 傾吓偈呀!

香水



我一向對化裝品沒甚硏究, 一套Laura Mercier的Foundation Primer + Tinted Moisturizer已可行走天涯, 再加點lip gloss令整個人看起來精神點, 我當作是一點社交禮貌, 就此而已!

不過我對香水卻有點偏愛, 像穿衣服般, 不同的氣味賦予人不同的個性與形象。我較喜愛含玫瑰及百合花香的, 也歡喜氣味甜甜的香水, 噴了頓時感到輕快幸福。

還有就是。。。我很愛爽身粉的氣味*3*

某天發現了這個, Jean Charles Brosseau的Ombre Rose, 清新的爽身粉味, 淡淡的卻很持久, 還稍勝Bulgari的Petits & Mamans Perfume。

以後不用灑了一身都是白的爽身粉了;p

忽爾今夏



上週末餞別了二姐的女兒,請她去吃了一頓她超想吃的Marriott tea buffet。大家都沒有失望,真的好好吃! 魚生款式雖不多但新鲜美味無比,還有那道自選材料的生滾粥、任添任飲的smoothies、意大利小點與沙律,餐飲還可以選多款花茶呢,超讚!

當然,睇埋這個甜品corner,投降了!! 又要回歸地獄式做gym生涯-__-!!



小妮子才14歲,今夏便負笈波士頓唸高校,略有不捨但面無懼色,品性剛柔並重。

記得她出世沒多久我送了她一個芝麻街的Ernie公仔,之後Ernie成為了她的soulmate。有次她在澳門旅行時不小心把它遺留在的士,哭得可慘! 之後還上演千里尋Ernie,幸而好心的司機把它交還,好險!

今次她赴美沒再帶這位老友記在身,看來在這個夏天,小妺是真真正正的長大了!

忽爾今夏。。。

不過,看到妳興興奮奮的嚷着說要穿上我剛送的大馬嘜頭T-shirt上機,好安慰;)

亞姨會儲夠錢年底探妳的!
