柴米油鹽醬醋茶

Maybe we were both wrong.

Maybe I should have packed you up then. Pack up with you the happiest of my times, the most innocent of my youth, the purest of myself, the softest of my heart.

You are no longer a lover. You are much much more than that. You are so deeply entwined with my soul, you are a part of me, more than you realise.

Through your pain, I experienced what it feels like to have a knfe stab into, and twist around three times in my heart. What is worse, it is my own hand doing all of that.

Yes, I should have packed you up.

Pick up the memories scattered all over Sydney, place them neatly in the chamber inside the heart that was torn apart. The heart will fibrose itself up, that is the wonder of human body...layers and layers of tissues wound around to protect it from further ado.

But I don't want it to....I want to pack you, not to seal you... That is the last little bit of childishness within me.

Me contributing to the world

I was inspired by Helena's blog to make contributions on my own site for the greater good of the world. So here, I start by sharing the wisdoms shed upon me by many kind souls throughout time:

Charles' tip on stopping hiccup:
1. Rub head in circular motion with one hand
2. Rub stomach in the opposite direction with the other hand
3. Chant "I am full" continuously
(The above 3 instructions should be performed simultaneously until hiccup stops)

Tips on roach problem at home:

Upon sighting of roach,
1. Scream for Charles (Sometimes might be necessary to grab his whold body and scream into the ears)
2. If Charles is not at home at that critical time, try Melody's method

Charles' tip on roach problem -
1. Corner the cockroach and electrocute it using the electrocuting racquet thingy designed for mosquitoes (Does not work on big cockroaches -- see warning)
** WARNING **
IF NOT DONE PROPERLY, BUG MIGHT FLY AND MAKE YOUR HEART BEAT AT TWICE ITS NORMAL SPEED

Melody's tip on roach problem -
1. Grab purse and keys and head towards the nearest mall
2. Shop for at least 2 hours and hope by the time you get home, the cockroach would have disappeared

Tip on program debugging:

I know it is ironic for me to be giving out programming advice, but this one has been verified by almost all in CSE, and is proving to be very popular indeed:
  Swear statements
  (May be put all over the place, or as needed depending on how much one is about to kill ownself)

Ikea's Umbrella

張維中用過一把便利商店的雨傘來形容他故事內的男主角:

"晴朗時誰也不會在店裡看它一眼，只有下雨忘記帶傘時不得不只好買一把，撐在人群中也放棄思考它究竟好看還是不好看"

讀到這個比喻時覺得形容於我身上實在是再貼切不過了. 只是相對於便利商店的傘來說, 我更寧願是把Ikea所賣的傘. Ikea的傘, 完全是功能上的設計: 大大的鮮黃的傘面, 罩個三,四人沒問題....說實在, 是醜到不行.

在 Ikea, 傘是這麼賣的: 五塊錢一把, 下雨天兩塊. 我喜歡這種貼心....即使是最不引人注目的商品 , 在被需要的時候, 仍是儘己所能的方便他人

只是...只是...可以的話, 我還是會謝絕那個很可怕的黃色的
