灰灰的自由;自由的灰灰
[灰灰]
雨依然下著,又是一個灰灰的早晨。
hb說,最近的早晨都是灰灰的。他感覺有點鬱悶。
我答,我喜歡灰灰的早晨,因爲可以穿外套出門。
也因爲,外面的灰灰會讓所有的顔色感覺更亮,更美。
[自由]
昨天對於自由的討論,其實讓我覺得很不自由。
自由到底是什麽?
區區的三個定義就代表自由,多荒謬。
人生如果是自由的,
那爲什麽我們在沒有選擇的情況下來到世上,
而又在沒選擇的情況下離開這個世界?
生活,是一場必須不停地跑的馬拉松,而終點是死亡。
感覺很灰,
但越灰的事,就要看他所襯托出的亮和美。

沒人懂
昨天,我被你的直覺嚇倒。我是如此的模模糊糊,不黑不白,依舊在等待。很多時候,我喜歡沒人懂。沒人懂的價值,就是在尋找懂得人。可是,不多啊。有些人,喜歡裝懂。有些人,喜歡假假不懂。我不懂得怎麽去分辨,怎麽去懂。
我們應該都是世俗的。
-
“葉細細,我不過是一個世俗的人。”
黃碧云的某一個故事,最後兩個人無法終成眷屬,沒有所謂的perfect ending。然,我特別喜歡。人生路,有誰能夠走的順順利利,一切完美?最近,yasmin ahmad 拍的那部廣告特別紅,主要還是敍述人生不完美的完美。這一條人生路,選擇多,錯誤多,跌倒多。在淚水和痛苦中,還是有歡笑的。
我不在乎她的依偎只是一時的求暖,甚至到最後還撇下那句我們都是喜歡男人的肯定。是的,沒錯,我們都喜歡男人。只不過,誰說在同時閒我們不能喜歡彼此?誰指定我們只能拿一次蘋果?手若無法牢牢的抓住摘下的蘋果,我們還可以依賴籃子啊。
我們的曖昧,總是抹不去,理不清。或許,那一點點的安慰就是我們始終無法脫離彼此。是會有那麽一天。當你對著鏡子,梳著髮絲的時候,你會突然發現,笑起來那一高一低的嘴角,怎麽越來越像我了。

城S
我们;城S……早报报道
《城S》是个集体创作的的作品,以新加坡社会和现今高度融合及环球化的世界作为语境,对城市包容性的概念进行探索。
艺树人希望《城S》能够激发一些想法并启发大家对于自己所身处的城市空间进行省思。剧中的故事呈现城市的各个面向并由一系列的行李箱奏鸣曲所串连。行李箱奏鸣曲象征了一个旅程,让大家通过这个旅程反思多数人如何建构与看待社会中的意识形态。
在剧中,转制的体制,不和谐的状况,受歧视,被限制,被异化,被压抑等诸如此类的现实情况将被正视。多数人所作的决定能代表少数人的意见吗?在这场力争上游的竞赛中,精英又是否会考虑到一般老百姓的福利呢?你的言行举动是出自你的本意又或是受到其他人的影响?
艺树人希望观众能够通过观赏此剧重新思考真正具有包容性的城市所蕴含的意义再回答自己这些问题。
*演出主要以中文进行。(将提供英文字幕)
“CityS” is a devised play exploring the concept of an inclusive city, in Singapore’s context, and in the context of our current highly integrated, globalised world.
ARTivate aims to create a theatrical project that provokes thought and inspires people to ponder about the very space and city they inhabit.
In this play, stories from different aspects of a city are connected by a series of luggage sonatas which symbolizes a journey that questions the ideology constructed and perceived by majority of the society. Realities are confronted: autocracy, disharmony, discrimination, limitations, alienation, oppression and the likes. Does the decision of the majority always account for the minority? Will the elites ever consider the welfare of their downtown folks in this race to the top? Is that action you took out of free will or under the influence of others?
ARTivate hopes that audiences will reconsider the meaning of a truly inclusive city after watching the play and in turn, answer these questions for themselves.
*Performed mainly in Mandarin. (English Surtitles provided)
Tickets are on sale now at The Arts House box office! Price at $17 each (excludes $2 handling fee) Please state that “CityS” is under the festival Celebrate Drama! 2009 when you purchase your tickets.

我和我和你和你和他
总是在那些时候,想起小时候的英文补习。一排排的习题。一条条的文法规矩。一行行必须背进去然后吐出来的句子。其中,就有一句若要描写存在于坠机、大火、溺水的惨状时可直接套用的话:helplessness and despair。
我记得我反复的问过你helplessness and despair会是怎么样的一种状态?
当一个人面临要为自己生存做出最后把握的时候。当一个人无法期盼别人的援助的时候。当一个人之前所描写的大完美结局如此渺茫的时候。这会怎么样的一种状态呢?
你说,你梦过自己的死亡。14岁的时候,梦里的那场死亡,淡而无味。是场交通意外。那个时候还不流行恐怖分子,但你却梦见自己上了一辆装上炸弹的巴士。而在最后那一刻,你根本没有感觉到任何的helplessness and despair,反而,默默地慢慢地等待。
“等待什么?”
你嘟着嘴,面无表情地说:
“等待,就排队等待那位没出现的人对自己的宣判。”
你看着我,手轻轻的抚摸着我凌乱的发丝。你很清楚,那天,在诊所的那天,我哭了。你真的了解吗?当我转过身,背向他的时候,急促的呼吸,努力地屏住着哽咽和泪水,心里无法接受自己已经生病的那个事实。懦弱地,无法正视他,向他对质,并且责怪他的不诚实。helplessness and despair顿时转换成hopelessness and desperate。
三个月,虽然是他捏造的美丽谎言,但你很清楚自己无法反驳他白衣白裤的权威与自己身体的警报。三个月和一年,算是什么?一年,也可以是他无味的保证……你无法接受的,其实是自己得背负着一粒粒药丸和别人关心的重量,一步步地往前迈进。你以怀疑来伪装自己的helplessness and despair。然而,你却忘了,courage is not in the absence of fear。我会梦中如此坦然地面对死亡,不是因为我不畏惧死亡,更不是因为我知道这只是梦。我到现在还是会害怕到那个车站等车。我还是会担心自己在灰飞烟灭的那一刻。我还是会感觉到helpless and despair。甚至hopelessness and desperate.
Yet, in life, how many of us don't feel that?
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking...and we play the eluding game of hope to continue rolling that gigantic stone up the hill,only to have it come tumbling down again...
You would never know that beneath this white dignity lies a corpse filled with fats and lard. I spent my youth on all the medical facts and whatnots,only to see them crumbling at the mercy of time. I get by everyday healing and helping one after another,yet I am no God to my own ailing heart. I have to face the raw bits of life,those of what you all had entrusted/thrusted upon me, yet I failed to see how I am rotting right before my own very eyes.

looking back
dated 1.1.2009 :
scraps are still being formed. words exist for that split second,
boldly flaunting their survival and then being crushed to their death.
too much flesh, it seems to gaudy. too little blood, it seems too aloof. too much of both, it seems too painful. i can't seem to write and be at peace at what i wrote, for these are little "phases" in my life.
it is like swimming. there was this phase that i felt edgy in the pool. i felt the distinction between the water, the chlorine and me.i know my strokes are too flippy. i know my breathing is too fast. i know i am floundering too much.i missed the peace i felt in the pool. i missed the fluidity. i missed the calm and serene.
i am still searching for the balance. the fluidity. the calm and the inner peace. till then.
i used to have a dairy of all people i hope to be friends with and how they hurt me. i was a kid with much angst then...
there was a phase when i started writing things to say to people (on assumption that those words are read after im gone. i finished a piece of stuff for my mom, then upon re-reading it, i decided to threw that writing pad away.
now... i prefer to keep words on scraps,aiming at a dustbin and throwing a perfect curl ball after some days.i guess i am at an ironical stage where i m stuck between showing and hiding.
happy new year.oh.happy writing :)

once,again
觉得第一次的文字过于刻意
这本来就是一部简单的电影
剧情是音乐所提供的暗号
昨天在黎明破晓之前看完了
今夜连续地播着刚买的soundtrack
once and again,
主角是音乐
其他的都是点缀

Be dead and rise from the dead
最近的一种内心写照。
三个月。只要三个月。一切都会过去。
反复回想,是什么时候开始的,自己的身体,为什么,什么都不知道。
我只能相信自己的细胞,自己的血液,还有自己的意志。
或许,这三个月是让我好好了解自己与这副臭皮囊。

the "I AM ON PAGE 73" game
This is how you play the game.
1) Pick up a book/s you're currently reading.
2) Go to page 73.
3) Look for a sentence/s, and replace a word/s with 'Thio Su Mien'. The more random the better.
4) Pass your TSM love around to your friends.

升起的太陽
每晚遲了點
我漫步在
純白的邊緣
你曾好奇
我遊記裏所提起的
那開得過快停不來而忽略搭客的繁忙
與擁擠在鐵罐裏的大提琴
以及
那飛馳的紅絲巾后的過往
我不知道他們是誰
人來人往 可能非常可能
大家都戴著小説裏所描述的
威尼斯面具 金光閃閃
穿梭在胡同裏
忘了鬍子的勇士
騎著單車潛入海底
而
他們都不知道自己是誰
想要自己悲傷
在一池池的競爭場
光腳落得太強烈
勇士們眼袋下
只看得見詩集
手裏那杯星巴克代替了武器
我知道有一張郵票
自從離開集郵冊
就不曾離去
升起的太陽
每晚遲了點
大家都在奮鬥著
而我卻漫步在
純白的邊緣
練習法文會話:
「這是一匹馬呢
或者這是一頂草帽?」
這是一枚砲彈
砲彈在xxx落下
激烈的xxx溫馴的回家吃晚飯
等邊xxx切過圓的時后
x和xx不明白
爲什麽它們會在同一個籠子裏
「而且 xx在xx的對面
在xx的左邊
河水在x下流過
人在x上走」
走到音樂的尾端
就有這麽一個人
啊我
依然放任自己在
熟睡著。

cranky
been long since fingertips touched the smooth round corners of the faded keyboard. the lcd had been lost,blackness migrating from one end to another, wiping out the neatly formed words and images.
the laptop had been handled roughly at the service center,the touch pad felt wrong on the first touch,between the letters formed a film of oil,too deep to cleanse it and too much to ignore it.
i could not imagine how i stuffed the laptop under my bed for weeks, refusing to touch it, as if it was an outcast. the new desktop has yet to arrive, and my withdrawal from technology have been too long and too excruciating.
harping on and on for weeks on this. and yet there's no solution for now. and all i could do is to wait.
*flung hands up in the air, exasperated*

清理过去
把一些回忆再次温习,不忍心,却又心狠手快的把他们装进袋子里,留下来的只省书本和笔记。
一向来,都很害怕清理房间,更恐惧扔掉东西。活得像个收破烂的,这几年来,照片、小物品、明信片、贴纸、所有垃垃杂杂都堆在狭窄的空间里。这一次,终于下定决心清理,装了好多准备送走或顺手丢掉的大大小小箱子和黑袋,合上了盖子,绑紧了黑袋,心里五味杂成。
生活,如果可以选择割让的部分,或许会把沉淀已久的坏心情打包丢弃。少了这些牵挂,再次让风吹进房间,心里终于可以恢复以前的平静与坦然。那些堆积的物品,的确阻碍了回忆,脑子里的画面,有时候不能与旧日子的叙述重叠。
这个时候,才会开始明白,为什么有些人到了一个年纪,把日记一本本地丢入火坑里,文字并没那么重要,怎么样也带不走。每个人,在最后,还不是只能两袖清风,而陪伴他的,唯有历历在目的一生。
