10天。
东京、枥木、山梨、神奈川。
上野、池袋、汐留、涉谷、新宿、自由之丘、六本木、日光、鎌仓、富士山⋯⋯
两年三次日本行听来奢侈得不可思议，我都有些不好意思。或许因为这样，我考虑了很久，最终才决定实现这次任性的游走。
就当作是一次巡礼，也是我和老妈三十年来第一次一起旅游。
放任自我的同时尽一点孝道。我是这样想的。

天籁之音
张信哲的声音搭配交响乐，应该就是天籁。我一直是这样觉得的。
清澈、深情的嗓音非常迷人。高音部分我摒住呼吸，有些害怕破音的情况会再次出现，幸好大部分时候有惊无险。两个多小时的演出尽管称不上十全十美，但我还是觉得很满足。
20年。
我仿佛走了一趟长长、长长的回忆长廊。荧幕上显示的名画，我没太留心，反倒是脑海里零碎的片断更加摄人。
当动人的音乐一次次响起，头皮会不自觉发麻。“姜还是老的辣”应该是我和XY共同的独白。
“曾经自己 像浮萍一样无依⋯⋯”
“好久没有你的信 好久没有人陪我谈心⋯⋯”
“选在清晨时分走出你家的巷口 看着昨天擦肩而过⋯⋯”
“直觉我们应属于彼此 否则我不会常常若有所失⋯⋯”
“不怨不悔 难有相同的感情给谁⋯⋯”
“凌晨两点半 你还在我身旁⋯⋯”
“是否对你承诺了太多 还是我原本给的就不够⋯⋯”
“慌乱城市中 连风都不自由⋯⋯”
“你仿佛从没见过我 只是让我梦成空⋯⋯”
“不问你为何掉眼泪 不问你心里还有谁⋯⋯”
这些音乐是我成长的见证。太多回忆随音乐涌出，心情有些复杂。不得不承认老，因为已开始“想当年”。
幸好星期四那一晚决定和XY一起去，更庆幸她想到找我。:)
我们都带着一些遗憾离开。或许人生总得有一些不完美，才会让人继续有所期待。
我想，今夜我是带着满满的感动和复杂的心情入眠的。

Lunch @ Home
The packet of mini asparagus was still in my fridge (as at yesterday morning). They were leftovers from my previous attempt to "imitate" Sam Leong. To save food, I decided to cook the same dish for lunch.
This time, I removed the toothpicks before serving the dish. Yes, the fish remained intact and did not unroll as expected.
While steaming the fish, I marinated 2 chicken thighs in all the Japanese sauces that could be found in my kitchen. I had planned to cook them for dinner but WL and Pauline invited me to join them for dinner at Great World City so I did not cook dinner.
As a result, the thighs were marinated for almost 24 hours. When I steamed them for lunch today, I was so proud of my creation. The chicken tasted really good! I think marinating overnight does improve the flavour.
YQ asked me what happened to the chicken skin. Hmmm, they were already skinless when I bought them from NTUC. Hahaha!

Now I Know Why ......
My right arm is aching. A result of excessive game playing. Life is not quite the same after we bought Super Smash Bros Brawl 2 days ago. However, I suspect that the novelty would wear off, probably soon, which was exactly what happened to Mario Galaxy.
I am not a gamer. I can't control the controller and I have great difficulty making the characters jump up and down, high and low, left and right. But I can understand why millions of people in the world are crazy over such games. These games are indeed products of extreme intellect. Coupled with advanced technology, the interactive nature and beautiful interface of the games really make them hard to resist.
YQ says I am spoiling the nunchuk control with my uncontrollable mighty force. In fact, the new nunchuk was replaced yesterday, one day after the purchase. We still do not know if it was a manufacturer defect or a result of excessive use of force. Luckily the shopkeeper was kind enough to allow for an exchange.
Other than Mario, I have grown to love Kirby over the past 2 days. It is sooooo cute and I love its power! Most importantly, it is pink AND round. Pink is an irresistible colour and I love things that are round, probably because I am ROUND! Hahaha!
I am going to stick to Kirby for the next few rounds of game! :) I hope Kirby will win!

一通电话后的激动
妈：我跟你老爸说公司里的年轻同事才做了7、8个月就辞职了。
我：那又怎样？
妈：你的老爸竟然说做得不开心就走咯，何必留在那里让自己痛苦，不喜欢这份工作就找别的来做，还留在那里等什么。哇！我没想到他竟然比我还开通！
我也没料到我的老爸思想如此前卫。一般的父母都希望孩子工作稳定，不要常常跳槽。即使要辞职，也该先找到另一份工作才拍拍屁股走人。或许因为我的父母比较另类，所以我才可以勇敢地踏出这一步。
老妈说她原本有些担心和顾虑，但看到我变得开心，她也就不再想太多了。她说很多事是注定的，冥冥中有所安排，不必担心太多。宿命论听起来或许有些消极，但是我相信她所说的。
从决定到付诸行动，已四个多月。这一路走来偶尔倍感辛苦，也曾经怀疑过自己的决定是否是对（自私）的。外来的压力有时让我很彷徨，也让我窒息。幸好家人只用他们的沉默支持我。
我的任性能获得家人的谅解，我不得不承认我是幸运的。
