Worse comes to Worse (Part II)

1.  There is another reason for hating Stitch. Visited the disneyland today.  Almost broke its body when I grab the head of a plastic Stitch rubbish bin. Or i have to pay for something i hate very much.  I had a good time in Disneyland today… at least don’t have to suck with the little shopping street.  And I saw Donald Duck today standing next to me… wahahahahah. bad that space mountain was closed.

2.  Went to the Famous Temple yesterday.  I don’t believe in Fung-Shui-wise stuff.  But i tested my luck by trying the ‘beg-bamboo’, which gives me a ‘Hom bamboo’ (in Wong Tai Sin language it is ‘bottom bottom bamboo’). Fuck. This gives me another reason for not believing in So Man Fung and not purchasing Beverly Hill.

I bought a Donald Duck with 3 foot cube box (remember its just the box). I don’t know. Maybe i will beg the JAL air mistress to let me get on board.

I tried good pork chop today (don’t think other stuff).  Almost wanted to cried when i tried it.  I can’t remember the last time I had such good food. Damn damn damn good.

Vacation is supposed to relax.  But i don’t know why i think three or four times (in terms of time) more than when i was in Hong Kong. I walked more, carried more heavy stuff… and become more tired than otherwise. I am fucking tired and when i am tired i think of my work. thinking of my work makes me more tired. such fucking vicuous cycle bothers me throughout my 9-day trip. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck.  Luckily I tried that pork chop.

Worse comes to worse.

1. The blanket in my guest house in Ueno is featured with Stitch. 

2. I lost my camera.  My photos in hokkaido, the old tram in tokyo are gone. I almost cried when i found i lost it.  Its all my mistake.  I once said to my gf that choosing in between camera and her, i will bring my camera to tokyo (what a weird comparison).  You know how fucking sad i was and am. I know its the jap guy sitting next to me grabbed it (i left it a long bench in a park).  I know, and u know, how i will take revenge when i back to Hong Kong with the AV girls and bt engine.

Ok… stop lamenting.

3. Gals.  Just several quick thoughts. (1) I know the fertility rate (the number of children each female has, roughly speaking) in Jap is amongst the lowest in the world (Hong Kong is championed in this aspect with less than 1).  So as time goes by, there are no more young gals, and our true School gals (not those pretend by women who are at your or my mother:s age) with elephant stocks (don:t pretend you don:t know what it is) will distinct.  Too bad. (2) I can observe NO lesbian appearing TomBoy in japan. No guy-feeling gay also. (3) My earlier observation that pretty tokyo gals are tall and thin is once again confirmed.  Pls take a visit to Shinjuku:s department store if have time…

4. Donald Duck.  Fuck.  I saw in ‘autumn-leaf’ a 3 foot Donald Duck.  Yen 30 000.  Today I saw another one in ‘Pool-bag’ disney store, at yen 20 000.  Without hestiation (I desperately need something about Donald Duck as gift), i bought the later one, which is about 5 kg.  I am fortunate enough to have something for gift. Let’s see i have to fortunate that the airline will allow me to take a 50kg handcarry on board.

5. I just re-confirm my belief that i like travelling alone the most. 

Where am i? Shinjuku’s porn street.

I hate Stitch.

Problem : There is no donald duck stuff in 2 disney stores in Hokkaido. No.

Reason : The stores are flooded with Stitch.  That little blue crap.

FUCK.

2月
気温の変動が大きく、低気圧や前線の影響で曇りや雨または雪の日が多かった。上旬は、低気圧が本州南岸を周期的に通過し、低気圧の通過後は上空に非常に強 い寒気が流れ込んだ。このため、日本海側の地方を中心に大雪となる日があり、太平洋側の地方や伊豆諸島でも積雪となる等、気温の低い日が多かった。しか し、中旬以降は低気圧が日本の北を周期的に通過したため、南から暖かい空気が流れ込んで気温の高い日が多く、15日は記録的な高温となる所もあった。ま た、上旬は低気圧が本州南岸を通過し、中旬以降は日本の南海上に前線が停滞しやすかったため、太平洋側の地方を中心に曇りや雨の日が多かった。特に、低気 圧が発達しながら通過した1日は東日本太平洋側で、26日は太平洋側で大雨となる所があった。

十二月二十六日

扑醒日.

昨晚從廣州回家, 倒頭便睡. 今天醒來, 已是一時多 – 這是放假比較早了, 沒有什么緊要事情要趕著要幹的話, 我通常三時才起床.

在廣州走馬看燈, 無法知道很多細節. 然而, 我有兩個觀察 : 不論是心理上還是實際上, 香港今天在內地仍有一定的優越感. 一眾人下榻的酒店, 是十甫路假日酒店, 一晚 $400. 入房時以為自己看錯, 那房間有差多一千呎, 而浴室還有一塊透明玻璃面向大床… 樂此道者可以在國際級酒店嘗一下當眾出浴的滋味… 但樓下招待處的人員頗為不友善 (是對別的客人), 那一副咀臉. 我想在香港, 只有在 neway 卡拉 ok 才會受到此等禮貌式不友善對待.

而當一眾人從酒店走到長壽路車站, 後方一對男女, 男的像豬, 女的像肥豬. 男的擁著女, 以起碼 150 分貝高聲但溫柔地說 :

你有冇跟過香港佬? …. 無初吻, 無第一次唔緊要. 我唔會嫌棄….你唔養我邊個養我?…(下刪一百字)..你唔養我邊個養我?…(下刪一百字)..你唔養我邊個養我?…(下刪一百字)..你唔養我邊個養我?…(下刪一百字)...

一行八人, 無不嘖嘖稱奇. 雄性畜牲公然在街上當小白臉, 不是重點, 而他問 “有冇跟過香港佬”, 以及他其後的表情言語, 顯示香港男性在內地仍有一定優勢…

但不僅是心理上的. 我們從長壽路乘車到天河區的正佳廣場 – 一個有太古城 + 又一城大小的商場 – 旁邊有一個類似 MRT 消費站的地下 “潮賣” 商場. 對不起, 我找不到比 MRT 更容易讓大家明白的地方去形容它. 友人在 converse 專賣店買球衣, 是正貨 (應該是), 但付鈔時才發現 price tag 及計數的方法有古惑 – 特價的計算方法是先將優惠價 (即 price tag 價) 計回正價, 再打折. 而當專賣店也是這樣, 香港明碼實價 – 起碼大部份專門店也如此 – 仍可多玩三五年.

專賣門門口刊登著招聘廣告, 一個店員月薪 1500 多 (人民幣), 店長 2200 多. 女友黑心說, 你看 : 你一個月人工可養活人家一年了. 只是距離三個小時的車程, 相隔一條深圳河 (雖然廣州好遠), 但我看, 在香港當售貨員, 月薪 $8000, 是人家的四五倍; 晚上吃宵夜, 一碗雲吞面, 人民幣5元; 汽水, 1 元. 香港的物價大概是四, 五倍. (記憶中廣州人均 GDP 是六萬多, 是香港的四分一). 按此推算, 廣州地鐵 (最貴 6 元) 算是貴; 一雙三百元的 converse, 是超貴. 即使港幣對人仔跌破一算, 在內地仍然好好使, 大家繼續搵盲炳吧…

今天看新聞前播放的公民教育委員會廣告, 說中國是個多種族居住的地方, 而香港是最能表現這特點的地方, 再歌頌祖國一番 (大意如此). 放屁! 這根本就是混淆視聽 – 沒有南京條約, 香港會否仍達到今天的地位, 而沒有淪為其中一個中國城市? 據觀察, 除了沙面, 連在上下九路 (大概等同銅鑼灣) 也看不到太多的外國人.

係廣州臨走, 還去了沙面 (即白天鵝賓館的所在地). 若想看一看澳門那些歐洲式的建築 (但去不了澳門?????), 那是值得一去的地方.

<The little belated Photos in Japan>

嗚… 終於救回人質, 從女友手中取得日本之行既相. 以下係比較有趣既 :

1. 志雄哥 : 留意相中央位置男仕, 同香港既志雄哥好似孖生咁. 志雄哥即係個位唔使張叔平做美指, 都自動似黑社會既香港演員.

地球, 是平的. 除左引証我前排話其實人都係幾百個模吸出黎, 我仲幾乎肯定日本人既祖先係徐福. 嚴重抗議小泉參拜靖國神社….

2. 我最討厭的動物 : 出現於相片右上角. 禽流感都殺佢 (地) 唔死, 畜牲既生命力真強. 哀哉.

3. 稻中既熊貓車 : 呢隻熊貓個腎唔好, 所眼袋同手腳有少少黃咁咁. 呢種車周圍都見到, 仲有長頸鹿, 河馬, 俾 100 yen 可以周圍去. 我唱左 40000 yen, 想坐住佢去機場既時候 (個陣係箱根), 圖中既兩兄妹一支箭咁衝左上車.

我返香港個晚即刻 BT 左十套松島, 愛田由同蒼井空報仇.

4. 箱根小王子博物館 : 小王子既作者係好勁抽, 但係 1350 yen 既入場券, 實在搵笨. 半個鐘就行完, 指示內容大部份日文.

5. 遊客勝地 : 京都金閣寺, 無乜特別. 順帶一提, 無乜學過攝影既女友, 拍出黎既相永遠比我既好睇. 好多野講天份.

6. 旅遊勝地 二 : 東京鐵塔. 攝於六本木山. 附送豬排飯, 超正.

7. 箱根水族館 : 女友日本目的之一 (首要及最重要既係喪拼). 1000 yen 入場費, 幾好. 好大塊既落地玻璃, 睇魚睇得好清楚.

順帶一提, 返黎先知 品川 (新宿對落) 原來有一個仲正, 仲大既水族遊樂場. 我俾人用嚴刑烤打左十日, 被狂吠點解個陣唔知道. 我死得好慘.

<Cont’ Japan trip>

1. I took the historical tram in Tokyo city, runing from inner tokyo to an old residential area of tokyo. Just like the tram on HK Island. Excellent. Small village with a lot of human element.  I just sit down somewhere and have the ‘octopus dumplings’, with two little girls reading jap comics, sitting next to me.  In front of me was the old tram, and the whole pic was rather ‘tokyo story’. If you don’t have time to travel to Kyoto or other cities of Jap to taste the ‘historical side’ of Jap, try this tram, running from Waseda to something like ‘Three xxx Station’.

2. I am supposed to rest my legs in this jap trip, though at the beginning i knew it’s rather difficult.  The reasons were that I sprained my knee some four months ago, and didn’t recover to the previous healthy level.  I recovered partly, but hurt it again during my Australia visit – I simply walked from the China Town, to the Darling Harbour, and finally to the Rock near Opera house.  In case you didn’t know, my wild guess is the distance is close to a full Nathan road on the Kowloon side, or King’s road on the HK Island site.  After three days in Jap, of course, I knew my purpose is doomed to fail. Today when i walked, my whole right leg was freaking painful, while i am feeling very good (I recalled the cult leader of hk originals said something abt phys. and psy. pain and happiness).

3. I never knew HK people can speak english (so poorly), until i came here.  When i was so fortunate to get a good place sitting and waiting for the night parade in disneyland, a mother and her lovely son (aged around 8) came.  It was very crowded and they have to stand. The lovely son was moving here and there, drilling into ideal place that could later see the parade clearly.  OK, fine.  When he was standing next to me, i found that my Donald Duck stuff (there is nothing except Donald Duck.  So, instead of using Disneyland stuff, i use Donald Duck stuff) was blocking the little corridor between the bench i am sitting and the next.  I moved the stuff below the bench and the lovely son, in less than 0.5 second, moved into the space. OK, fine.  This was exactly what i wanted – squeeze some valuable place, ideally.  The lovely son and his mum started chatting in cantonese.  Nothing special.

Right before the parade started, her mother looked around – i couldn’t understand why – and then asked her lovely son in English :

‘Is it ok?’ in English

The son in Cantonese : ‘Mother, i cannot see clearly’. 

‘Is it ok?’ in English

The son in Cantonese : I cannot see clearly’. 

Such conversation repated thrice.

Bitch.  Don’t show up your rubbish English in front of Jap of which over 99% do not even A-Z. When i was just about the tell her lovely son, in cantonese, to revert in English, Donald Duck appeared in the parade. Otherwise Wong Fai Hong will come out and say ‘Chinese doesn’t punch Chinese’ in Disneyland Tokyo.

I recall the story of ‘Let me cut into piece’ during my visit in Lan Fong Yuen of Central a year ago. 

4.  I visited the Roppongi Hill yesterday.  Excellent.  But i didn’t expect this is gonna happen in HK, though i know this is exactly what WKCD is gonna to learn from.  I tried the Fried Pork shop on the 5/F, in which there is a waitress who can speak mandarin (her surname was Chan on her name tag). Extremely excellent Pork.  Unlimited refill for rice and soup, costing $80 per head.  The Tokyo City View on 52/F worth its costs.  From there you could even watch the fireworks in other parts of Tokyo. Insane.

<Why do you have to provoke me?>

<Yeah yeah yeah>

1. I meet Toshiki, my jap buddy today.

2. Went to the Great Wheel Car, so freaking romantic.

3. Tried ToFu meal with Toshiki

4. We chatted a lot.

<Seventh Day in Japan>

1. I have roughly calculated that for the remaining days, my gf and i will have yen4000 to spend each day, covering transport, travel and other expenditure.

2. I have watched the Annual firework in ZinChao Temple (Ramen Temple), lasting for 1.5 hr. Excellent, and the most touching firework i have ever watched. 1,000,000 million firework in the air, with many jap guys and gals wearing their traditional dresses. Last year there were 1,000,000 people watching this event in the nearby area. This year i suspect the figure will exceed. Last time i saw so many people in the st. was the 71 march in 2003.

3. I cannot stop appraising the efficiency of Jap’s railway system.  Even with 1 m people sucking into three railways, the trains are only 60% full on average, and people don’t have to wait too long to get away from there.

4. Jap people are very polite.  Very professional.

5. Today is the end of my 7-day JR pass, costing 28300 yen (around HK$2000).  Again, i roughly calculated that with travelling to kyoto, it worths alot.
