I found my clock, my memory, my grave.

Middle of the night.

When the world is asleep, the lights outside make her awake.

Inside her mind, she could not figure out if it's dream, it's memory or just a fantasy.

Quietly, breathing softly, and slowly, asphyxiated.

Whatever - who cares...?

Mary had a little clock that works in its own way, just another afternoon in May

Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello,

What if Mary wasn’t late that day 

Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say

He’s now on the roof to say goodbye

He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged, 

Sadly he was not her fiance 

So God I ask why today, 

are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? 

Is that how you work your way? 

Now I’m so afraid 

To some it was one fine day, to them the very end of life well that’s their fate 

So that’s how people come and go 

What’s gonna happen no one knows 


Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumped off the roof 

What if Mary wasn’t late that day 

So God I ask why today, are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? 

Is that how you work your own way? 

Now I’m so afraid 

To some it was one fine day, to them the very end of life well that’s their fate 

So that’s how people come and go 

What’s gonna happen no one knows 

So God I ask why today, well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday 

But now the happiness subside 

Will she rest in peace in her own grave? 

Bout’ him I dare not say, he landed on her head and broke her neck they say. 

So that’s how tragic life can be 

Too bad that many still don’t see 

Mary had a little clock that works in its own way

Yet she never has another day

Lyrics: Ivana Wang 

BYE BYE OCTOBER ((a.k.a. 明天出糧日!))

還有四個teaching weeks便完了Sem 1，半個MA了。

昨天德勝教授說mid term test由最低的1.5到14分都有(/15)，

[衷心]希望那個不是我......@@''

我喜歡現在的我，但不知它愛不愛我;

只想做好本份，向自己的目標出發，即使最後會充滿rejects...

總然之最近有點干物，但really fully packed...

上班上課功課搬屋，連宮心計都捨棄了(還珠格格倒是能趁lunch追看)，

不過過的生活不賴，

每天接觸的是各式各樣的故事，

有一雙一對的老夫婦，過了幾十個年頭仍是互相扶持著；

有101歲仍常在家裡打麻雀的婆婆；

當然有時還會加插一些無理取鬧的，

但我想我還是挺受長者界歡迎的吧，

還請原諒我最初幾天有錯誤解答問題的地方。:)

Anyway當part-time最滿足的地方還是月尾出糧吧！enjoy*

BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO REALITY.

I LIKE THIS GUY A LOTTTTT ♥ 

OK我決定要返黎現實，

脫離睇律政新人王一段時間，

凈係睇蔡鍔與小鳳仙好啦，

斷估唔會迷上劉松仁呱。

最近要努力少少追readings，

上網做功課，

努力賺錢，

做多少少運動（其實而家係無做...）

這是屬於我們的lunch time。

其中一個令我懷念母校的原因是她優質的地理位置，尖沙咀與佐敦交界，附近食肆多不勝數。這點尤其於我入讀BU後顯得重要（當year 3發現連桃源&Hall Can質素直線下降），對於金牛座的女生，吃一頓好的，是一天中重要的充電器（還是那15分鐘的sleeping time？）。

所以，我決定要來個尖沙咀lunch time大行動，這是屬於我們的集體回憶，這是屬於我們的lunch time：

1. 香葉越式料理

2.大盛日本料理

3.老趙越南風味餐廳

4.北酒場

5.意大利餐廳

6.原居民

7.上海老正興菜館

8.韓國燒烤屋

9.甜蜜蜜

10.蘭香麵家

...還有更多，不能盡錄。如欲參加者，請電633xxxxx謝同學洽。

Goodbye.

也許我們曾經相愛過，

當天的激情，在那一刻，你比任何東西都重要。

我愛你，卻只是曾經，是過去式。

不要說我絕情，我只覺得，

當不再愛時，被逼的留在一起，又有何意思？

沒有意義的東西，價值是零，

折舊價只會成為負數，留下的是負累。

回憶不丟掉，只會越積越深，到頭來並不好受。

倒不如灑脫一點，下起決心，

離開你，

讓別人愛你也好，

又或者，讓我做個壞人吧。

別人說我是個負心人，

也許，她說對了，

但難道無止境的背著這個包袱會比較好嗎？

她不認同我的價值觀，

同樣，我也只想自私一點。

謝謝你，曾經陪我走過的一段，

不在乎天長地久，只在乎曾經擁有。

To all my beloved which are donated/recycled/thrown due to the home renovation project. :)

The earth is just too dangerous...

想代你 面對世間瘋狂和混亂

這地球 喜歡恩怨

巴不得跟你在太空取暖

讓你平靜造個美夢 躲開這個失樂園

天高地厚 就快也不夠日爭夜鬥

已不適合情侶暢聚漫遊

當小溫馨偉大到像虛構

在我懷內願你當綠洲

我用風箏攜著你走

很危險 下秒將 地老天荒

當千紙鶴難以伴妳飛 就擲向星光

只想可跟你同住天幕裡

流浪太虛 別了地球 留下壯舉

只得你我莫問誰和誰 只需一寸赤地團聚

星海 隨便去寄居

足印 熔在隕石裡

(不管 來或去)

(火星踏碎 若你覺得已住不下去 哪個星球你想去)

烏煙俗氣 就快看不見甚麼是愛

那七宗罪便夠殺掉未來

心比起空氣受更大污染

就算逃入夢裡去渡海

怕幸幅之門被炸開

I ♥ HEA

Believe me, these are the best days of my life.

I had the afternoon high tea tower at Cafe Landmark the other day, not particularly great food, but enjoy the relaxing time at a decent place, chit-chats and simply...doing nothing. Oh, and actually I had this kind of life for the past three months already.

This holiday is even better than the one I had for A-Levels, when I was so nervous and frustrated about my JUPAS and my future. I was just too disappointed when I know the result, but after three years, I did what I promised! Perhaps we need not make things so hard, just let it be, and relax for a bit, I'm sure everything will be fine. May not be the best, but it would be the most suitable path for you.

Sometimes it may sound too "meaningless" for a life, but a pause could definitely help people to understand what is the meaning to "enjoy" life, not just to live a life!

I am just way too lucky. Thankful though. And, recharged!

P.S. I can't wait for the next tea set at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon!!

TBC. :)

[食]聯記川王涼粉

從小到大我對辣也是又愛又恨，由巴辣香雞翼到近期很愛的泰菜，我也抱著'又要飲水又要食'的精神。紅磡有名的聯記川王涼粉，今天終於去朝聖啦！難得獨自一人，炎夏中最棒當然是叫個川北涼粉降溫一下！

$18的雞絲川北涼粉(也有涼皮跟涼麵可選)，未打開盒蓋已經感覺到辣油的香味。吃第一口已經俾麻辣味嗆到了，一邊流汗一邊喝水，卻越辣越過癮！吃畢整盒涼粉以後一陣麻辣感，超爽！

P.S. 小辣已經等於平日的大辣了！

In case you're flying to Japan please buy this for me! I get this from the supermarket in Oeno (probably you can find this everywhere). Tried yesterday, a mixture of fries and pretz, and it tastes GOOD! :-)

[Edited] Turns out it's on sale in 7-11 near home. Available with different flavours LOL...

I'm reading an economic book!

I'm a little bit surprised by it as well - my current book list - "The economic naturalist - Why economics explains almost everything". 

Economics has been a nightmare for me for quite a few years. I did well in for the first two years - just like everyone said it's super easy for CE Economics, basically you just memorize the definition of opportunity cost then you'll score 2 marks. The result in CE trapped me choosing the subject for my A-Level, and that's how I started hating it.

Yes. Simply HATE it. Originally I thought I was going to nail it and it would get me entering Global Business or International Management or something like that (Okayyy obviously it's a dream). But then I kept on failing on tests and exams. At last I got an E in the A-Level...(phewwww...big relief...) so I thought I'll just forget it, as what I vividly remember in economics class (ironically), "Bygones are bygones".

And my non-expected study in Management made me attend for another two classes in micro/macroeconomics in my first year of university. I ALMOST fail in the macroeconomics...So I really thought I'm not gonna to touch it for the rest of my life...

Okay that's just an introduction for today's topic. I "accidentally" picked up this book in PageOne, got attracted by it's cover, and seemingly easy-to-read. Well I am exhausted with novels because it's always too long and I usually just leave it on my bedside table for a long time. Then for a long time my so-called reading is limited to magazines and travel guides...

But I do love reading. For some time I have tried to write a lot, and after three years, I really thank the 15 minutes Reading Time we used to have after lunch time, because after graduated from secondary school I never have the initiative to sit down and read everyday. And a good writer must first read a lot of what the others write as well.

Out of topic, but anyway I'd like to recommend you to read this book. They got the second one with the orange cover already, but I'm just way too slow...(especially when it's an English language book...). But from an easy, relaxing perspective to look at Economics, actually it can be quite interesting. I wish the book is out a few years earlier, and perhaps I would have a better grade! And probably this book is most suitable for people like me - have learnt all the terms back in school but you can never remember the definitions and explains the rationale behind!

Take a look at Amazon!

Enjoy reading!

It's not an end.

I've finished all my undergraduate class months ago but I did not have any intention to write something until now.




Received my full transcript by post two days ago, and what pops in my mind was, "Pheew, that's three years?" I still remember the moment I received my offer way back in 2006, I was so disappointed, not just because of my result in A-Levels, but also the reaction of my family. And, many months later after that, my Mom said that she was surprised, that her professor said the university I was attending was actually very famous for the subject. I was quite upset by that time, as I have told her many times about that, but she would not trust me until someone else said the same thing. 


So I went to university just as everyone else. But I did not put a lot of time on campus. I mean, I skipped lessons for most of my first year (everyone did that, right?) My entire second year was in the UK. And for the past year I was too stressed for catching up my study progress...To be freak, I did not have a particular nice time in this school. All my happiest moment is my exchange study in Manchester, the first time I really feel like I am experiencing my life and I get the chance to see many things that I've never known.

But I truly appreciate the past three years that I feel like growing up. I started to think about the world, what I can do in future as a contribution and as a responsible grown up. I got to see what the world is really like, rather than stuck in my secondary school and living under "the love of God". I mean, the world is more than that.

And, this would not be an end.

Smile, tomorrow will be worse.

This is a picture of me recently, in Tokyo. Like it a lot (narcissism!!)! It makes me think of many positive adjectives: energetic, optimistic, big smile, juicy, pleasant, relaxing and more and more...


Ever since I've planned to study for one more year, I have been asking myself "Is it something that I want?". I don't know if I am doing this because I got the passion, or, simply I'm escaping from the reality. And after this, what's next? I am thankful that I am able to get support from my family (both spiritually and financially), but still, I don't want to make myself too dependent on them. In return, I really wish I can repay and take care of my love ones...


I've always been a not-so-optimistic person, mostly because I think too much, and I tend to plan for the worst. When I lived in UK I put a big Murphy's Law poster in my room which I like a lot, and the rationale behind is that if things can get worse, it will...a rather pessimistic view on life, but sometimes it's true. In reality, we can hardly be that lucky that everything goes smoothly right?


And one line that I've learnt which I enjoy particularly: "Smile, tomorrow will be worse". Somehow it's quite sarcastic, but it is one way to make a laugh and get out of all worries to relax, sit back, simply throw away the troubles, even for just a while.


I've been always lucky, maybe be not for every little things, but I'm thankful enough for everything I owe. I feel like I am living, I am enjoying my life instead of surviving (as you know, it is a very precious gift). So, I will remember (hopefully), put a BIG SMILE and enjoy! Because tomorrow might get worse!

Blah blah blah,


Vanessa

東京09'//Quil fait bon

尋找代官山Quil fait bon，距離車站五分鐘的路程，我卻差不多花了一個小時在雨中漫步...

//店內外也佈置得很美，就像某個歐洲小鎮的小店

這是個悲慘的經歷，總之，其實我這個零方向感的人，每次出行一定要印好地圖才好。不過吃完這店的水果派以後我覺得多花點時間也值得，沒有令我失望！

Quil Fait Bon代官山店的2/F是cafe的部份，1/F則是讓顧客外帶的，各款水果派放在櫥窗內，色彩繽紛的，如果這是設於香港，我一定會每天都去光顧！點了一件水蜜桃水果派跟Earl Grey（配lemon），上飲品時還有貼心的保暖套！有個小沙漏店員會告訴你要等一下才好喝茶（當然我聽不懂她的日文只是早前便有看別人的blog）

雖然我愛吃一切蛋糕類食品但我不喜歡過甜的甜點，但請放心，Quil Fait Bon的水果派味道不會太甜，cream也不會有很膩的感覺，最重要的是水果的部份是超級美味！非常juicy，是我吃過眾多甜品之中令人印象深刻的一次！其實真的很想再多吃一件，但一個人吃二份好像有點over，還是留待下次，有機會必定要嚐遍每一件水果派！

//必定要推介的各式水果派

Quil Fait Bon應該沒有甚麼旅遊書會介紹，不過在網絡搜尋一下便可以看到很多的食評！對自己好一點，下次去東京不妨來一個貴婦下午茶之行吧；在東京，銀座和青山也有Quil Fait Bon的分店，官網也有詳盡的Menu。

東京09'//Souffle at Mont Blanc

 

到自由之丘的其中一個原因是到sweet forest吃souffle，不過當天到達時竟然發現sweet forest正在閉園裝修！害我整個早上都沒有吃東西，超級失望...由於一心只想去吃souffle，所以也沒記住自由之丘的其他食店。逛著逛著來到了Mont Blanc門口，只知道Mont Blanc賣飾物，賣手錶，賣鋼筆，倒不知道它也開了甜品店。

一貫日式甜品店的風格，櫥窗的甜品色彩繽紛，看見它也有著堂食的部份，便先進去才說。可惜Menu也只有日文，看見Waitress們很辛苦的用英文和我溝通，我也不忍心，便自己看圖說故事了。不過Menu上的也沒外帶那些蛋糕吸引，最後選了個夏日限定的綠茶味梳乎厘，沒有了sweet forest有Mont Blanc也不錯吧，價錢也是1000yen左右。

綠茶味梳乎厘對我來說有點失望，尤其底部原來有我討厭的紅豆！對了，日本人很愛綠茶紅豆這個配搭，不過紅豆蓉太甜，而且水份讓梳乎厘軟掉了（感覺就像把麵包泡進水中...）。

至於店內大部分也是中年婦人，就是沒我想像中那些高貴女生。下次來自由之丘一定要做好功課，再來個甜品之旅！

//漂亮的櫥窗擺設。

東京09'//西北航空的3J

NW8 29.06.2009 08:20

//早上才6點半便有一大堆人在排隊....

//我坐的NW8航班

早上到NW的self check-in counter辦手續，其間服務人員問我是否願意轉到stand-by list，如果客滿的話便轉乘CX遲一個小時的航班。反正我這個假期也是漫無目的地遊，便答應了他們的安排，但亦是最後一刻才會告訴你航班的安排。

結果在閘口時地勤小姐說不需轉航班，為答謝我肯轉到stand-by還upgrade到business class，3J！上次也試過坐中華的business class，不過3J聽起來超樂的！

至於NW的服務還算是不錯的了，business class還有著外國帥哥空少（嘻），而且吃過早餐以後我也是睡的時間比較多。

 

//左: 可以任意調較的business class座位

//右: 早餐是點心或cereal，外加yogurt和croissant

上官網買機票大概是最便宜的（比價錢線還低幾十塊，而且直接方便），買機票以後便可直接選位，飛前24小時可再上網看看座位表，這時候航空公司會開放更多座位供選擇，所以即使沒upgrade上business class我原本也坐上14D的位置了。

Life. Quality or quantity?

British WWI veteran becomes world's oldest man (via Yahoo! News)

Henry Allingham has taken over the Guinness World Records of the oldest man after the death of Tomoji Tanabe. He is now 113 years old.

Okay let's count...so he was born in 1896. (!!!) The year that should be belonged to the history textbook only, when the Qing dynasty was still in the hand of Cixi, the Japanese was just started to trade with the West etc...Or, in Western terms, he lived through the Queen Victoria's death, the sinking of Titanic, he ACTUALLY been in the First World War. His grandchildren has their own grandchildren, so what should they called Henry Allingham? Great-great-great-grandfather...?:-)

I would not expect myself to live as long as Henry Allingham, but how many years we might have? 90? 70? When I start grow older, I realize how vulnerable life can be. Maybe we can live happily and long enough, maybe not. The first time I heard my friend died at a very young age, I found out that life should not be taken for granted. We are just getting too used to it. 

And then I started to understand why suicide is considered as a sin in most forms of Christianity. Despite of the controversy all over Euthanasia and the freedom of oneself, it just costs too much to end one person's life. Way too much. It is especially disappointing when one does not live well and treasures what they already have. 

So, please, live well. For every single moment. Appreciate the miracle of having consciousness in this world and realize how lucky we are, to have a life of quality and quantity. 

And what will I look like if I am able to live until that age (well I don't know if it's a good thing or not)? I hope I'll still be a cute little (old) women instead of an old wicked lady...

What is Love?

(A photo that I like a lot, taken in Piccadilly, Manchester)

I've been always wanted to write something on this topic - seriously - what is love? I am asking about the love with your Valentine, the love that attracts people and able to make you feel ups and downs. 

My friend broke up with her boyfriend earlier and she was in great depression. I was very sorry for her, but at the same time I felt so disappointed about how she hurt herself. Not exactly been through that, but I do understand how an end of a relationship feels. Despite of that, you are letting the people around you down, who also "love" you a lot, only in a different kind of shape. Perhaps I would experience the same if I am going through that, and probably that is why I don't easily fall in love.

I do think love is very important, in evolutionary terms it is the secret element that leads to the uniqueness of human mankind. And more, you can never explain and define it but it definitely means something to you, but it comes just like the air. However don't let it controls you, the greatest source of love always comes from yourself. And there's always something more than just about love in your life. Well, at least I survive without it for my past 22 years!

Checking my iTunes list, here are the songs that start with the word "Love":

L-O-V-E - Nat King Cole; Love - Kenny Loggins; Love Autopsy - Hugh Grant; Love has it all - Ivana Wang; Love is everything - Fish Leong; Love is Love - Harlem Yu; Love is weaken when it comes out of mouth - Low-end-Project; Love is...Day by Day - S.E.S; Love of my life - Queen; Love Song - Khail Fong; Love Today - Mika; Loveマシ－ン - Sunday Girls; Lover's Concerto - Kelly Chen; Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton (And even more for Chinese songs...I'm not gonna type them all out...)

So I am asking, what is love actually meant to you?

Yours,

Suu Kyi and her unplayed piano.

閱讀有關昂山素姬(Aung San Suu Kyi)的事，只是從這一年開始的吧。我從不對政治感興趣，關於緬甸這個國家亦認識不多。直到上過無心插柳的電影RP課，以及這個semester的english through current event，開始了解她的故事，亦會為緬甸軍政府的事感氣憤。

當年昂山素姬的丈夫因癌疾在英國病重，希望能在有生之年到緬甸見妻子最後一面，但軍政府拒發簽證。軍政府暗示素姬可去英國，但離開後就不要指望回緬甸，變相要她流亡。最後素姬為了國家，忍痛不赴英。結果其夫於1999年病逝。

然後，於舉辦"Free Aung San Suu Kyi 60th Birthday Campaign"中，愛爾蘭歌手Damien Rice為素姬獻上"Unplayed Piano"這首為她寫的新歌。有點慚愧，放在iTune很久的一首歌，最近才知道它背後的意義。由"Closer"這部電影的主題曲"A Blower's Daughter"開始我便喜歡Damien Rice，在他於老拍檔Lisa Hannigan寫的"Unplayed Piano"中，講述的是在昂山素姬軟禁的家裡，連她喜歡的鋼琴壞了，軍政府也拒絕為她修好。

我不願評論緬甸軍政府的做法，畢竟我知道的太少，但我了解的是，昂山素姬一生為緬甸的自由和人權問題努力，得到的下場卻是犧牲的自己的自由和人權。

她曾向世界呼喚“Please use your liberty to promote ours!"，然而，國際未曾能夠營救昂山素姬，當聯合國要求緬甸結束政治鎮壓時，投下反對票的，只有中國及俄羅斯。我想，她的夢想還有很長的一段路。

Unplayed Piano的歌詞:

Come and see me

Sing me to sleep

Come and free me 

Hold me if i need to weep 

Maybe it’s not the season 

Maybe it’s not the year

Maybe there’s no good reason

Why i’m locked up inside

Just cause they wanna hide me

The moon goes bright

The darker they make my night

Unplayed pianos 

Are often by a window

In a room where nobody else goes

She sits alone with her silent song

Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano

Still holds a tune

Lock on the lid (years years have passed by)

In a stale, stale room

Maybe it’s not that easy

Or maybe it’s not that hard

Maybe they could release me

Let the people decide

I’ve got nothing to hide

I’ve done nothing wrong

So why have i been here so long?

Unplayed pianos 

Are often by a window

In a room where nobody else goes

She sits alone with her silent song

Somebody bring her home

Unplayed pianos

Are often by a window

In a room where nobody else goes

She sits alone with her silent songs

Somebody bring her home

Unplayed piano

Still holds a tune

Years pass by

In the changing of the moon

Get me out of my coffin!

2009.5.25 MRI Scanning 

By the way, that's not me. Just a random picture from the internet.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)，you would probably know it from somewhere, from TV shows, all kinds of documentaries. So, I've actually tried it for my very first time (and hopefully the only time) and I'm going to tell you how it feels inside the little noisy coffin.

I got the weirdest position for the 30 minutes MRI scan, since I need to do that mainly for my hand, so I'm not lying on the machine but to freefall on the machine. So it wasn't that coffin-like since I don't think there would be someone sleeping in it like that. I did not expect it would take 30 minutes even just for a hand scan and you just cannot move at all and they would just tie you up.

The worst thing of all is that the pressure or nervous of having the scanning, but the injection of some kind of contrast agent for shading. The nurse there tried to inject it somewhere near my right wrist, but later she found out I was having an imaging for my hands, and then she tried to find another place to put the needle in. But she could hardly find a better place so she just inject for like four, or five times? Alright this is not the first time they said it's hard to find my blood vessels, but please, my both arms are covered up with bandages afterwards!

And in fact the contrast agent may lead to life-threatening disorder and there is a probability of 1/200000 that I may actually die! Good luck! And put me in a better coffin by then.

好亂的<亂青春>

偶然看到這個電影的部落格，主要是很喜歡它的音樂，然後，就去看了。

害我滿心期待的一部電影， 不過偏向藝術電影風格的。

華納威秀的學生票也要NT270，超貴的，原來香港看電影好幸福喔。

利用很多零碎片段組成的一個故事。
主題圍饒著三個女生，她們所謂的青春。
而且真的好亂喔，難道青春就是要這樣荒唐嗎？
我已經過了高中時代，所以，沒甚麼共鳴...又不像<藍色大門>那樣的簡單直接。
不過拍攝手法配上音樂，還是挺有迷幻feel的啦。
有記者認為這是部後岩井俊二式的搖晃青春電影，所以要大眾接受應該很難吧。

"請寫下你最瘋狂的願望吧。"

連看到的海報都寫英文名字，感覺一點都不像台灣片耶。 

看完<亂青春>以後感覺不太好，所以再算一套剛剛才上映的台灣電影。

看以前只知道有張睿家，原來還有黃志瑋，何嘉文喔

（還有小澤瑪莉亞，不過我也不熟...） 

除了開頭根本沒關連，以及中間有一段穿崩了，總括來說也是部很不錯的噁心片。 

台灣列為限制級，我覺得是色情那部份居多。 

有一些很無厘頭的片段，而且各種元素都有：血腥暴力嚇你一跳蟑螂...

有點亂混在一起的感覺，不過故事串連起來，比其他為嚇人而嚇人的電影好多了。

最重要的是演員們都很大犧牲喔，男生女生都要反白眼裝變態。

特別是張睿家自己弄斷手指那種痛苦，還有何嘉文被虐待...

那個窮人有錢人的概念，也讓我有點怕怕...

[煮] 吃膩了煎蘿白糕沒有？

[菜頭粿 Fried Carrot Cake

當地俗稱的“菜頭粿”其實就是炒蘿葡糕。蔡頭粿將處理過的白蘿葡加以蒜與蛋醬，以適中的火候煎炒至金黃色，即是美味可口的炒蘿葡糕，含有蘿葡素，非常有營養。菜頭粿有黑與白兩種，兩者都各具美味和風味，令人難以抉擇。所謂“黑菜頭粿”即是加了黑甜醬翻炒，鹹中帶甜，入口即化；若要品嚐原味，那就選擇“白菜頭粿”吧，外脆內軟，香味撲鼻，同樣令人愛不釋口！

本小姐的煮法:

1.用橄欖油爆香蒜粒(olive oil是純粹為健康罷了)

2.蘿白糕切粒(個人認為越小口感越好)，炒至金黃色

3.加蛋，三塊蘿白糕size配一隻蛋，當然分量隨個人喜好

4.記得要盡量讓蛋包住蘿白粒，蛋未熟時便要加調味，加蔥

5.沒有5了啦，大功告成！ 

我覺得新煮法蛋都吸了油，很不錯呢。還可加點配料如豆角，又可變一道菜式了！

日本。北海道。 Day 5

2009.1.7 定山溪>北海道神宮>札榥車站>Outlet>新千歲機場>香港

定山溪這家飯店的早餐也有很多種類喔，最愛吃烏冬...:-) 出發到北海道神宮，剛好有一間公司帶著車隊來神宮，大概新年期間這邊都會很忙吧。買了幾個神符，日本的平安符都好精美喔，如果是唸書中的更有一些類此箭的裝飾品，不過我也沒多努力唸書，所以還是買個普通的合格平安符算了...

然後到了札榥車站附近逛，由於其他團友要求加插Outlet行程，相對在這邊的時間變短了。自由活動時間我們先到Esta地庫的100yen shop，不過比我相像中失色很多...再到Loft想看看有沒有Porter袋，不過款色很少，也放棄了...最後到了Apia地下街，看看3 coins shop跟一些精品店，倒是有些收穫，而且我們一看到福袋便會忍不住買...本來我也想逛Agnes B，Burberry等等的店，不過考慮到媽不會喜歡，而且她在我也不會買得過癮，所以留待下次囉...

另外在車站近北口的一家便利店有著賣一款雪糕Cheese Cake，一件小的大概200yen，領隊介紹的非常好吃，本來他說在機場帶我們去買帶回香港，不過後來太多東西跟太趕的關係便放棄了，下次一定要把它帶回來！

最後去的Rera Outlet離機場不遠，所以團友要求去逛，不過那班要求去Outlet的團友倒沒有買太多東西喔，我們反而買得很多。首先看到了Moomin Valley的餐具，立刻買了Snufkin的碟跟餐具！再來有Lowrys Farm的減價貨跟媽那些不知名品牌的外套...最後連午飯都沒吃便趕往機場了。

在機場禁區領隊還是有介紹我們買北海道的薯條，反正讓你不斷shopping就對了。乘坐CX581回香港，遲來的北海道之旅完結了，母親大人也是很滿意啦，More Photos here...

日本。北海道。 Day 4

2009.1.6 Kiroro Resort>Kiroro滑雪場>午餐(extra牛柳&鮑魚)>狸小路>定山溪

Kiroro的滑雪場很新，環境亦很不錯，有很多外國人也會選擇住Hotel Mountain，那麼每天起床以後便可以立刻去滑雪了。我們跟著領隊指示，早前已交了身高尺碼那些資料，領了鞋，一整套的滑雪裝，換好過後在拿了滑雪裝備。天阿弄這些已經搞到我很累很熱了，然後跟著大家出去滑雪場，領隊也就是我們這次的教練。不過一整套的滑雪裝備很笨重，而且每次跌倒以後又要慢慢站起來，我媽真是痛苦到不行（後來她還自創了坐在滑雪板上滑下來的招式...受不了...）。我倒是還好，沒有滑得很順，但也慢慢掌握滑的技巧了。當然通常這就是集合時間囉，終於明白別人走去滑雪都是玩一個禮拜，因為玩幾小時真的要休息一下。

不過一讚Kiroro Resort真的很正，雖然我們滑雪也只是停留在最初班的那邊...

然後我們也就離開Kiroro Resosrt了，回到札榥吃午餐。這天讓我們外加的是鮑魚，神戶牛跟霜降牛。別人都是各叫一客，不過我媽堅持不點霜降牛，她不喜歡太肥的牛柳。領隊又出場替我們切件，我們便拿了神戶牛回去燒烤囉。也是非常好吃的一道，第一次嚐到這樣軟的牛柳，卻也不油，很香的牛肉味。我媽也覺得神戶牛比蟹更有特食，可能在香港比較少吃得到吧，也很少特別走去吃...另外鮑魚也幫我們煮好，可是我還是比較喜歡牛柳。:-)

當然，這是有代價的。連續三天我們都各花了HKD$500於每天的午餐上...真的第一次這麼奢侈...

午飯以後我們便到了狸小路購物，領隊先帶我們到指定的店鋪買北海道的特色產品，然後再自由活動。我們看準了Tokyu Hands就在附近，所以立刻跑過去逛，也買了些手信給外公。再回去激安之殿堂，跟其他手信店買了很多送人自用的。集合以後我們又坐了一個多小時的巴士到定山溪去。

到達定山溪Mirione已經入黑了，不過這晚我們都要收拾行李，而且滑雪過後也很累了，所以整晚都在酒店活動。換過浴衣後便到了飯店的餐廳吃自助餐，雖然沒很多名貴食物但這家的選擇非常多喔。吃飽以後我們先回和式房間整頓一下，再到浴場去。這邊雖然說是溫泉，但實際是大浴場加一個小小的本露天溫泉，不過沒很多人所以我們都泡得很舒適。之後當然要收拾行李啦，然後很快已經睡著了...很累的天。MORE PHOTOS CLICK HERE...
