Whistler之Judy事蹟

前兩天都是在Whistler上過的, 覺得又高又遠的山上是最棒的滑雪場地, 但這不是重點.
出發的前一天, 我和Melody在聊天, 一聽到我們居然要和Judy去山上住三天兩夜 她不禁替我擔心起來 (雖然我覺得這傢伙根本就是在幸災樂禍)
Melody警告我說, "Sherry, 妳要小心Judy, 我和她在德國轉過機, 大家從飛機出來之後她才發現忘了把相機忘記了, 和她參觀羅浮宮時她把護照弄丟了"
聽起來雖然叫人害怕, 於是我做好了完全的心理準備, 其實Judy糊塗也不是一天兩天的事情了, 認識她這麼多年我們也都習慣了...

但我發現, life is full of surprises, Judy真的是讓人無法預料, 全身上下隨時都可能發生 "突然襲擊" 事件...

首先, 到滑雪場的路上, 我, Anna, Judy, 和Steven停下來, 因為Anna找不到她的護鏡, 我們找了一陣子都找不到, 結果描了Judy的額頭才發現她綁了兩層超大的護鏡....
"Judy..妳頭上有兩附.....妳把Anna的護鏡綁在自己護鏡的上面了.."
"什麼?!?!?" Judy非常的驚訝..
"妳自己怎麼都沒感覺到?????"
"難怪路人都在看我....."
這傢伙都不閒重嗎?? 但這還算小事

到了滑雪場, 我們準備要搭纜車上山. 上纜車之前我們應該把滑雪器具插在纜車外圍的架子上, 畢竟帶進纜車裡並不是太安全. 當我們忙著在堆積那些器具時, 我發現Judy已經上車了, 我還在想 "哇! Judy果然是滑雪老手, 練搭纜車過程都這麼熟悉, 看來我不需要太擔心她了嘛".
當大家都上了纜車, 安定下來時, 發現Judy抱著兩片大大的雪板..........
"Judy!!!!! 妳怎麼把傢伙帶上車了了?????"
她很無辜的看著我, 很歡樂的回我 "對呀~~~~~"
............................................

傍晚時, 大家都差不多洗完澡了, 就剩可憐的Judy. 這時才發現已經沒有熱水讓Judy洗澡了. 她卻很爽快的說 "沒關係, 我明天洗也無所謂"
這是我還想 "哇! Judy怎麼這麼乾脆呢! 真讓人佩服, 看來雖然她很糊塗, 但卻一點也不計較呢"
正當我上樓要準備睡覺的時候, 突然感到一陣冷冷的風潮我這裡吹來...
"搞什麼啊! 剛才誰泡戶外Hot tub沒把陽台的門關好???"
我正要去關門的時候, 看到Judy一個人在寒冷的黑暗中坐在hot tub上泡腳...
以為發生了什麼事情, 我懷疑Judy突然搞自閉, 於是我上前問, "Judy.......妳一個人在陽台上做什麼?"
"我在洗腳"
"妳在什麼??!?!"
"沒辦法淋浴, 至少得讓我洗腳吧!"
隔天當剛泡完hot tub的Anna聽到前晚發生的事情時差點沒昏過去... "妳在我們泡身體的hot tub裡面洗腳????"
還好我自己沒泡

第三天早上, 我和Judy準備搭乘10:30的公車提早返回溫哥華, 和Judy獨自兩人上路更讓我感受到沉重的壓力, 因為我深怕自己無法帶Judy順利回家
為了保證旅途順暢, 我早就列印了三分她的車票, 以免她搞丟她自己的
7:30我們就起來開始打包, 準備.
8點時, 我和她走去器具中心退還她租的雪板, 但有點問題... 因為不管那位員工怎麼找都找不到Judy的資料, 就算號召了全部的工作人員怎麼找都找不到, 我們這團其他人的資料都在, 就只有Judy的失蹤了, 員工都非常擔心, 畢竟他們得維護客人的隱私...
雖然又出問題了, 但我一點都不怪Judy, 因為這是工作人員的疏失, 而非Judy, 何況工作人員直接讓我們退還器具, 我們也準時回家了.
最後我們回民宿後還有時間吃早餐. 我悠哉的喝這咖啡, 蹺著腳, 跟Anna炫燿說我如何把Judy的事情安排的多順利多完善, 目前一點問題都沒有, 並且很確切的說我們一定能搭上10:30的公車..
我還開玩笑的說 "哈哈, Judy最好不要又給我來個突擊讓我們搭不上公車, 還得搭1:30的"
Anna大笑說 "哈哈哈哈哈 如果真的是這樣的話那Judy真的是太強大了, 不過不可能了啦!"
"哈哈 就是說啊, 要是真發生這種事, 我恐怕會瘋掉"

笑完後Anna突然問我 "對了, 雪板中心把租金退還給Judy了吧?"
正準備要和Judy離開的時候, 我臉上的笑容瞬間消失, "妳.. 妳說什麼租金?"
"如果在9點之前把雪板退他們也會退還租金"
.................................. 哦 神哪, 告訴我這不是真的......... (我沒租, 所以我也不知道)
這時我們兩個馬上撲向Judy, 好如天崩地裂, 大家都緊張得要命, 一直幫Judy想辦法, 因為如果雪板中心沒有Judy的資料, 租金就無法退還哪.
這時我突然想到, "Judy! 妳有沒有什麼帳單或收據之類的文件, 拿出來給他們證明!!!"
她眼睛一亮, 說她有保留某張單子, 並且跑上樓去取來給我們看...
結果一看到那單子發現..... 那根本就是雪板中心之前一直找不到的資料........................................................................................................
至今, 我還是無法想通為何那份資料會在Judy的手上, 畢竟那是雪板中心唯一擁有的客戶資料, 沒有它, 就算客戶把雪板帶回家都不會被發現.... 因此員工都會嚴格的確認每位客人都有填寫資料並且交予雪板中心... Judy也並非什麼多高明的人, 她到底是怎麼在搞不清楚事情的情況下把那張紙模走的呢????

原本預定10:30離開, 很遺憾的, 無法施行.
11:00 - Judy 帶著單子去領回租金, 我和Anna攤在沙發上, 無法出聲, 動彈不得, 我們真的被Judy徹徹底底的打敗了.

So just a while ago I was wrapping some Christmas presents. YEAHHH it's so late I know, but I have been too busy especially after my final exams, that's right, even more occupied than my exam period.

I dunno why, but a few days ago I was really determined to find my boss and his wife a Christmas gift. It's not that I want to earn favour or anything, but I don't know why though, but I really think it's the least I can do to thank them.

Though this is my first job, I never imainged there are actually employers like this. For one thing, I thought meals were quite rare, but since my first day there, they provided me with dinner and lunch for every shift I do. Not only so, my lady boss would even bring cakes and fuits out from the fridge to share with me. Whenever they make a trip, they wouldn't forget to bring a small present for me. When my lady boss came back from Hong Kong, she got me this cute little purse. A few weeks ago the couple came back from an Europe trip, they even bought me a very nice gift from France. I was really touched, I'm not their daughter nor their friend, but they're always so considerate.

I can never forget the time when school started, last term actually. I was literally going mad because of all the schedule conflicts and course problems, there were suddenly lots of dilemmas (I'm the type of person who can be easily troubled by small things when it's that time of the month). Anyway, due to school, I had already greatly reduced my hours to two hours every shift, which is just amazingly ridiculous I know. But I don't think that solves the problem. However much I want to continue to work with these wonderful people, I thought the only way was to quit my job, as I could not handle the schedule.

After a few days of serious consideration, finally on my first two hour shift, I told my lady boss about my problem. Before I even talked about quitting, right away she said "then just do however much you think you can handle". I replied that I thought this isn't possible as she would need someone to help her close the shop everyday. "It's okay, I can close the shop myself," she replied casually. I guess she noticed my concern because she kept on assuring me that school is more important and that the shop wouldn't be too busy anyway. I really thought I was going to weep, I didn't know how to express my gratitude. Right after, she told me that she prepared some soup and macroni for me inside and that I should have dinner before I start working. I never expected to get dinner on just a two hour shift, but I insisted that I'll finish some work first. They were just very normal dishes, but that evening's dinner was one of the best meals I ever had.

走, 讓你走

最近迷上許茹芸早期的歌.
我覺得有時候音樂就像美酒, 在歲月中醞釀的越久就越有味道
每首歌都是一個Memory Pocket, 載滿太多太多回憶和象徵, 時間越久, 懷念越深
許茹芸最活耀的時候, 也是台灣在我印象中最"繁華"的年代
90年中的那幾年, 許茹芸出道為歌手, 她那芸式唱腔吸引了不少歌迷, 包括我那時讀國中的老哥
那時候或許經濟真的很景氣, 我們剛好換了新車, 搬了新家, 我哥買了很多張許茹芸的CD, 每天都會在車上不停的重複播放.. 讓你走, 淚海, 日光機場, 獨角戲, 看透, 等等 都是我耳熟能詳的曲子
雖然住汐止, 但我們活動的地方還都是在台北市, 市政府和東區那個地帶
我那時候上小學, 每天從安親班下課之後爹就會來接我, 然後我們一家就會去奶奶家吃飯, 看電視, 聊天, 大伯和姑姑他們兩家也都會在. 好熱鬧, 好歡樂.
星期五和星期六我們就會待比較晚, 大約9點多時, 大人們在打麻將, 看電視, (星期天大家都會看超級星期天) 我們小孩就會去台北醫學院附近的夜市去買泡沫紅茶, 那時候只有一個攤販會賣泡沫紅茶, 而且唯一的口味就是珍珠奶茶
回家的路上會經過7-11, 麵包店, 超級市場, 有時候還會去買個蘿蔔糕.. 雖然天晚了, 但大家都很有活力, 人來人往的, 很多交談, 摩托車馬達的聲音, 便利超商的 "叮咚" 都是我很懷念的
要回家的時候大家都筋疲力盡了, 但卻很滿足. 我們一家五口就坐上白色轎車, 發動後不是姊姊的Celine Dion CD就是哥哥的許茹芸的 "日光機場" 專輯.
聽著她的歌曲, 我一邊看著窗外, 有些店家還開著, 他們的日光燈就是不熄, 豆漿店的老闆出來把鐵門拉上了, 有時候還會經過世貿館, 凱悅飯店旁總會有很高級的黑色轎車停在前面, 紐約紐約差點就蓋好了, 對面還沒有101大樓, 市政府前的馬路超大的, 廣告招牌到處都是, 眼花撩亂哪~
環繞在台北市無數個高高的辦公大樓之間, 在車內我們一家人緊緊著坐在對方旁邊, 我覺得好安心
回家的路上會經過三個隧道, 如果進隧道之前台北有下雨的時候, 爸爸就會叫我們猜隧道的另一頭還有沒有在下雨, 有兩次機會 (因為第一個隧道太短了).
有時候也會走不同的路回家, 那條比較熱鬧, 有更多未關門的店家, 還會看到許多學生從補習班下課要回家 (而且那個時候還有髮禁). 我每次就會把車頂的天窗打開, 學總統們上半身伸出去然後到處觀賞這充滿活力的城市 (可惜我太害羞了, 不敢揮手).
上了高速公路就會乖乖的坐下, 然後繼續聽許茹芸的專輯一路到家, 就算下了車, 沒了音樂, 上了電梯, 她的複歌依然會在我腦中不停的重複, 不停的伸Key...
雖然許茹芸之後又出了一些專輯, 但還是早起的最讓我感動
畢竟那些歌曲陪伴了我在台灣的童年, 裝滿了我對繁華台北市的記憶, 我們一家還沒被分開的那段時間, 六歲的我很樂觀, 看那時人感覺他們都好年輕, 好安心, 對未來抱著希望
沒過幾年, 就來了溫哥華, 一切都變了, 看不到台北了, 就這樣, 一切成了記憶, 一同裝進許茹芸的CD盒了

Photobook????

小幸家目前在更新, 我先把消息貼在這裡
話說, 昨天看到這則新聞

日本知名影歌雙棲的女星柴崎幸，明年1月26日在日本將推出出道12年來的第一本寫真集「0805」。柴崎幸的首本寫真集，是在今年7月於歐洲的瑞典和芬蘭進行攝影，裡頭將會有穿著比基尼的性感寫真，是過去從來沒有過的。28歲的柴崎幸，首本寫真集名為「0805」，採用自己的生日為標題，據了解，寫真集裡面將出現從未公開的素顏照，以及在瑞典和芬蘭花費10個工作天所拍攝的照片。掌鏡的攝影師為中村和孝，而柴崎幸在寫真集內換穿了高達20款的衣服，包括挑戰了性感的比基尼裝。高達144頁的寫真集，攝影師認為充分表現了瑞典和芬蘭的氛圍。

哇哇哇 不會吧, 真的有人等到出道12年才拍寫真集!! 令人期待

其實已經有很多人反應過, 小幸是少數未拍過清涼圖的日本女藝人, 看到了這 "比基尼" 難免會讓人又期待又怕受傷害, 昨天我已經見識到某moomin心情複雜時的那一刻
當然如果小幸淪陷於大部分日本女星的風格, 我也會挺失望的
其實我比較擔心的是, (雖然我是粉絲, 可是該說的還是得說) 柴崎幸這傢伙其實沒什麼料, 而且她是個水桶腰 = = 若是她真的拍了比基尼...well...
1. 我信心會大增
2. 她會摧毀我對性感比基尼的印象

其實想想就知道, 她為什麼這麼喜歡穿連身裙? 為什麼喜歡穿大大寬鬆的上衣, 為什麼喜歡加很多長背心? 為什麼胸口是常被photoshop, 為什麼很少會照到臀部? 因為她身材的關係嘛~~~~

看了就知道, 她的比基尼真的得量身訂做 = =

我很難相信以往保守的小幸會真的走清涼風, 除非是星塵真的發了瘋想賺錢
可是今天看了這個就大概知道她的極限了... 我第一次看到有人居然能把比基尼這樣拍....
那根本只是半個比基尼.. 下面的去哪裡了?? 果然很小幸 = =
雖然上面是穿了, 可是被前面那塊布擋住了, 史上最怪的搭配
這就是所謂的性感比基尼嗎? 星塵又要騙錢啦!!

告訴我這不是真的, Jo!

11月18日, 柴崎幸的新專輯 Love Paranoia 在日本發行, 我11月14日就在網路上訂購了

真難得! 平常我很少會去訂購她的碟, 除非是這種付著DVD和Photobook的專輯我才會去買, 其餘的都是用下載的 (哪門子粉絲), 我只是個窮學生. 這次環球不知道是發了什麼瘋, 居然加了最便宜的運費還要美金四十多元, 可是我還是狠狠的刷了下去.

於是從那個時候就開始期待, 帳單上說一到四個星期內會送到. 過了一個星期, 我開始每天都去信箱查看, 就算沒有出去, 我還是照樣換衣服到公寓大廳去看!! 結果到今天一直都還沒出現!!!! 其他粉絲都紛紛收到了, 台壓版也發行了!! 就我還沒有!

這是我突然想到, 可能填地址的時候出錯了, 於是在去看一次帳單.. 哦.. 真是可怕的一慕 = =

我寫成了我舊家的地址, 這就代表....

柴崎幸的Love Paranoia被送去了由一對英國牧師夫婦居住的房子, 我的舊家, 而且是位於Surrey的Fraser Heights

哦! 告訴我這不是真的, Jo!

Nooooooooooooooooooooo 我的柴崎~~~~~~~~~~

現在只有一首專輯裡面的歌能形容我的哀傷...

泣いていい (我哭了) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4bQuOri2OY

嗚.... 哭哭.....

OH! Discount!

前一天三點多才睡, 結果早上去店裡打工真累, 特別是老闆叫我抱著梯子爬上爬下, 搬著箱子跑來跑去, 更可怕的是因為店的門一直是開著的, 冷風吹進時真的是會起雞皮疙瘩, 呼~~~

話說 (笑),
我在幫老闆娘從牆壁上拿東西的時候, 因為有點高度, 英文比較不好的老闆娘擔心的問我 "it's a bit high...... are you LONG enough?" 聽到這句時我差點大笑出來, 害我差點沒從椅子上摔下去, 因為這讓我聯想到蚯蚓站在蹬子上嘗試著從牆上拿東西, 我的老闆娘真是太可愛了! 中午的時候她還讓我待在店裡, 然後出去抱著兩陀熱騰騰的hotdog回來給我們當午餐, 還說 "這家熱夠很有名哦!!"

後來某個客人走進來, 拿著一大帶的Esprit, 我剛好想到那天經過Esprit的時候前面放著大大的, "40%off折扣!!!!"
所以下班後馬上過馬路去看, 果然沒錯, 大家都在女裝那裡搶成一團, 價錢真的都被降了好多
於是我拿了好多去試穿, 最後雖然很喜歡其中三件, 可是看了價錢之後兩件加起來也已經要$70~80, 為了我的存錢計畫著想, 只拿了兩件去付錢.
店員刷好了跟我說, "that would be $43.50"
"hm?? pardon me?" 我不會聽錯吧, 明明自己算了要80多
"$43.50"
"ONLY???" 我的小眼睛睜的大大的整個人趴到櫃檯上把頭彎過去電腦銀幕確認
結果那個店員笑著說因為有一件衣服標錯價錢了, 她還很聰明的告訴我 "你還有沒有想買的? 動作要快哦! 折扣明天就沒了"
結果我半信半疑的馬上去把第三件找來一併刷下去了
最後, 一件外套, 毛衣, 襯衫, 只花了不到$65, 我真是太新運了 吧哈哈哈哈哈

I miss Mitsuko

Just a while ago, I was organising my computer files when I realised that my BR folder went missing. Odd, becuase that would be the last thing I would delete,.. but it had just disappeared from the whole Kou folder. I don't get it, of all the folders, why that one? So I thought maybe I could go google some more, not that I have some fetish over bloody photos or something, but it's an important part of my memory.

And indeed, after I went through all those photos, I am reminded of the time when I was so attached to the movie and everything about it. The first time when I saw it, it was during early summer. I was fifteen, I was young (not that I'm not now) I was proud, optimistic, and I dreamed about only the good things about life.

I had went through an exhausting day at school, I ran five kilometres in P.E. After I walked home, I made some noodles and thought I should watch a movie; I picked out BR, which was a pretty bad choice for that day. After the movie I was even more exhausted, I mean, for one thing, who couldn't have been tired after seeing 40 students competing to take on each other. Yet the strange thing is, I felt like I was deprived of all strength and energy, as if my hope and expectation for life and humanity were disrupted. I didn't know how to think of it, it was just a strange feeling. I wasn't grossed out or anything, I just didn't know how to respond. It looks surreal yet realistic at the same time.

Probably becuase those kids were the same age as me, since then I have imagined multiple times what I would do if I were in the game. I'm pretty sure this is what anyone would have thought about, would I be a Nanahara? Or could I have become a Mitsuko? Do I really have the guts to be a Mitsuko....? Well I certainly hope not (Actually, I wanna be a Kawada! or Mimura!). The movie taught me a good lesson that continues to resonate in my experience and life even until this day. I actually recorded some of my favourite quotes that I use to remind myself when I'm bored hahahah, but I just loveeeee them so much! (Although I find quotes such as "life's a game" or "nobody will come and save you, that's just life" way too common...)

I just decided to take instead of being taken

I'm sorry, I forgot they were once my friends.

What's wrong with killing, everyone has their reasons.

Not my scene, I'll never die like that.

God, did I just hear this idiot right?

Come at me, every inch of me will resist you.

There's a way out of this game, kill yourselves together, here, now. If you can't do that, then don't trust anyone, just run

And finally, my personal favourite - Die, ugly!

Actually it's kind of sick of me to think of such things, but then again, we all have that twisted side, no?

Anyway, it's going to take me a while before I can recover my BR photo folder. Meantime, I'm just going to comment on two photos, Kou actually had a fatter face 10 years ago lol, she looks like she just had two of her wisdom teeth pulled out here.

(Battle Royale, 2000)

And this is off topic, but I find this photo entertaining:

(SMAPXSMAP, 2006)

Okay here's a normal one

(Kumikyoku, 2009)

OMG it's 4:30AM okay Imma sleep first.
