Don't Forget the June 4th

Yes i definately won't forget June 4th even i can't attend the ceremony.PLEASE DO SUPPORT AND LET THE CHINESE CENTRAL GOV'T AS WELL AS THE HKSAR GOV'T KNOW WHAT HKPPL REALLY THINK!!!!

OK,now it's the time to continue the US trip.

When we arrived in Arizona,we lived in my auntie's home.

During the day in Arizona,i felt a bit dull because i can't go everywhere without a car-_-"

After 2 days, we attended my cousin's high-school graduation ceremony. (i think it's too serious in here...u can see,the venue and the costume were like a university's graduation ceremony) 

Me and my cousin's classmate (he is the best student in the class)

Afterwards,we went to an Italian restaurant to celebrate.My dear and pretty cousin.

Next Day, i went to a supermarket and play bowling!!

The T-shirt i wore was bought in here(a famous brand name in Western called Charlotte Russe) Only 10 US dollar. There were so many A(american)B(born)C(chinese) in the bowling court also.

At night, my aunt took us to a square where is full of clubs and bars.

All the food in here are very enormous!!!I choose the BABY size everytime to eat..-_-"So u can see even the normal size of the ice-cream is SO BIG!

After the nice ice-cream,my cousin started the CRAZY PHOTO!!!

Next day,we went shopping again.(u see,how bored i am in US!!) Here is a well-known brand name to sell sport stuff and even has a lot of virtual wild animal in the shop.Me and my cousin took a lot of crazy photos here.

We had our dinner in a very nice and old-school restaurant which is full of Beatles,Elvis Presley,Jimi Hendrix...music and pictures.

On Sunday,we drove a car to GRAND CANYON!!The sky here is blue and the cloud are so near to us.

When i first saw Grand Canyon,i just wanted to cry without saying anything. It's just...so gorgerous!!

On the way,we visited a famous dam also/

THEN,THE NEXT DAY.....I FLEW TO PARIS!???

AND...DID I TRAVEL TO ITALY!????

Unfortunately, I didn't travel to Europe but went to LAS VEGAS!! The hotel in Las Vegas is huge and very gorgerous! Each hotel has its own features like the "Paris Paris" and "New York,New York" it's just virtual Paris and New York. Every hotel has casino and allows 21-year-old ppl only(21 is the legal age to be adult in US).However, i went to the casino secretly and i won 25 US dollar(175 in hk dollar)!!You see how lucky i am!!!

At night,we went to China Town to have dinner.I MISS HK FOOD!!!!PLZ,NO HAMBURGER ANY MORE!!After that,we walked in the street of Las Vegas until 2:00!!

The hotel i lived in(Pyramid)

 Day 1  as i cant type chinese here so please tolerate my poor eng : P
Arrived in LA at around 11:00 pm so we just had hamburger in a fast food shop for supper(u can see the pic below) Unexpectedly,LA is very cold but i could see the ppl there wore short pants and vest!

Day 2 we went out for sightseeing.Firstly,we went to Hollywood.
This is the airport of LA and a boy is playing game outside the restaurant.



 
On the way to Hollywood, my uncle took us to somewhere called Sunset where many stars and millionaire(like Madonna,Tom Hanks,Jackie Chan) live in.

Then,we arrived in Hollywood!!We first went to Kodak Theatre where Oscar Award is held
 


 

Then,we went to Avenue of Stars and there were so so many ppl!!Other than the tourist,there were many "acting ppl" they pretended to be different kinds of Hollywood characters.I took pic with some of them but it needed to pay $$!!(1 us dollar each)
 
 
Afterwards,i discovered the hand prints of Woo Yu Sum!(i took pic with the hand prints of Tom Hanks and Jack Nicholson as well)

 
There are some other special building around Hollywood

H&M in Hollywood

Later on,we went to an outlet where many famous brand names sell at a very low price.
i just got 2 Levis jeans which took only 60 us dollar in total!!(480 HK dollar for 2 of them)
 


 
 

Finally,we left LA and went to Arizona.

重新發現

每每在考試前夕，也會不斷發掘些讓人迷戀的東西，令自己的一片天空重新展現色彩。

那天本很哀傷，看到一張張喜愛的歌手來港開音樂會的宣傳文案：陳綺貞，oasis，王若琳，Duffy...
我問自己生存為何。

複雜分裂了許久，最近終於讓我重新發現了快樂。

先是買了兩張唱片，Ivana《Infinity journey》& 方大同的《橙月》。
＜我來自火星＞說的是忠於自我、任性與不安份的故事。這昂貴的造夢造夢旅程，我願意以一生去負上。方大同的《橙月》讓我重拾當初喜歡他時的那份驚喜，尤愛＜黑白＞，甜美得像單純的默片。

＜我來自火星＞林夕的詞真好
萬有中貪玩脫軌 出了軌
往後都不配安定 路線被固定 誰擴大過自己的直徑
代價竟 高得震驚 為尋覓火花燒毀了生命
誰會來革命 人潮像繁星 火星只可似火星
空氣未允許任性 模糊面目裝飾佈景
遺忘能造夢那份天性


然後都是昨晚的事。那時看洛楓的書，她分析流行曲的時代象徵，她提及過＜皇后大道東＞的97 意識。我第一次接觸羅大佑這個名字。(好像還知道明天會更好是他的作品) 最近他要來香港開演唱會，頻頻亮相宣傳，我發現他的樣子頗像我的爺爺 : p 對他徒增好感，好奇下尋找他的資料，便又迷上了他。我特別喜歡創作與時代背景聯繫上，這樣才使歌曲有共鳴感。羅大佑亦然。他敢於透過創作說話，遊走於台灣、香港、北京，常強調創作的歌曲都不會是不痛不癢的，他為抗議美國要求台灣協助出兵伊拉克而在演唱會中剪掉美國護照，宣布放棄美國國籍。他不是東方Bob Dylan，他就是他，他是羅大佑。

雖然還未聽過許多他的歌，但他給予我一個思想空間，期待到台灣旅行，搜購他的唱片。

Qoute一段他寫的唱片文案，是他的首張唱片《之乎者也》：

這一趟音樂的路，走得好辛苦。在東方與西方、傳統與現代、嚴肅與通俗間，我幾乎是一路跌跌撞撞摸索過來的。因為前面沒有足跡可尋。而現在，我想果實已經在成長了。因此，請開啟你通向心靈的耳朵──至少這里沒有不痛不癢的歌。假如不喜歡的話，請回到他們的歌聲里，因為這中間沒有妥協。

還有另一張唱片《皇后大道東》的唱片文案：

假如你還不知道的話，香港是全世界惟一在天空有老鷹盤旋的大都市。
假如你還不知道的話，在中區遮打道富麗華酒店向上仰望，有顆巨大的建筑物構成的星星在上空，不論晝夜。
一百五十多年來，香港就在被遺棄中成長，在東方與西方的夾縫中妥協求生存。她的歷史就是一段夢的軌跡。
奇怪的是，任何來到這里的人，都也像逐漸的走進了她的夢境般，跟著她成長﹔而且奇跡似的找到了他們的夢，而且不想離開。
因為他們知道，所有的不可能的困頓，都終於被化解，而且夢幻似的繼續向前行。
於是這樣的時代終於來臨：一九九零的年代。
住在這里，我覺得像個掮客一樣，做著一宗歷史與未來之間的最大買賣。
而此時此地的香港客，誰又不是呢？誰？
“東方之珠，整夜未眠，守著滄海桑田變幻的諾言。”
是的，兩點之間最短的距離，不是直線，也不是斗爭，而是一個夢想。
於是我知道，在歷史與未來之間，我們正在夢幻里，在她的懷抱里，邁向一個只有她知道的未來。

羅大佑

最後一樣迷戀的事，又是王菲的歌。王菲的歌聽得不算多，所以才讓我發現驚喜處處。
這次是＜開到荼蘼＞。迷幻搖滾，加上林夕那美麗頹靡得不能的詞，世界上最完美的組合。（我老早預言自己，會死在迷幻搖滾的靡爛之中，Creep之後又沉迷開到荼蘼，簡直是中了迷幻搖滾的藥癮）好多人cover過，林肴嘉，蘇打綠，Ivana...但依然是王菲最好。

開到荼蘼

每隻螞蟻 都有眼睛鼻子 牠美不美麗 
偏差有沒有一毫釐 有何關係
每一個人 傷心了就哭泣 餓了就要吃 
相差大不過天地 有何刺激
有太多太多魔力 太少道理 
太多太多遊戲 只是為好奇 
還有甚麼值得 歇斯底里 
有甚麼東西 死心塌地
一個一個偶像都不外如此
沉迷過的偶像一個個消失
誰曾傷天害理 誰又是上帝
我們在等待甚麼奇蹟
最後剩下自己捨不得挑剔
最後對著自己也不太看得起
誰給我全世界 我都會懷疑
心花怒放 卻開到荼蘼
一個一個一個人 誰比誰美麗
一個一個一個人 誰比誰甜蜜
一個一個一個人 誰比誰容易
又有甚麼了不起 
每隻螞蟻 和誰擦身而過 
都那麼整齊 有何關係
每一個人 碰見所愛的人
卻心有餘震
