話說高中的三位好朋友,在畢業之後的十多年後,在台灣又重逢了.一個人是剛和女朋友分手,一個人是剛沒追到女生,一個是剛取消婚約.照理應該還有第四個好友,他卡在某個有神秘珈哩的國度.
現在,我們都年過三十,都在感情,工作走了一小圈,湊在一起應該是有很多話,沒錯,我們也去了很多地方.
第一天,烏龜從高雄上了台北,kappa開車來接我們,kappa也是今年才又成為有車族,法國車,煞車快磨完了,airbag的燈一直亮者,大概是白色,但是非常拉風.
先去深坑吃豆腐,kappa據說常去那吃中餐,吃飯時才發現,這兩位朋友加起來像三個女生,菜一次就點一大堆.接下來去烏來洗溫泉,我們都不是第一次在大眾池寬衣解帶,但彼此坦承相見到是頭一回.接下來又殺去宜蘭,特地吃當地有名的甕窯雞,又是沒頭沒腦點一堆.接下來直接殺去桃園飯店.晚上十點多,三個人晃去外頭找聽說會出來覓食的空姐.街走了幾條,空姐沒見到,只好在飯店附近的pub坐坐,有駐唱的地方,三個人大眼瞪小眼,才發現兩個朋友都抽煙,其中一個還抽的利害.其中一位說,這好像是我們第一次一起在pub裡喝酒,不過,我們看起來都惆悵多了.
隔日,住在附近的烏龜姊姊(大家都三十幾,叫大姐姐會有些尷尬),參觀她華麗的公寓,又去吃飯了.這幾天,吃多少不提,光是大便的次數就很破我個人紀錄了.香港來個朋友也是差不多時間到,去接她的迷路上,不小心經過一間go kart的地方.接到朋友,先去吃飯(沒錯,又是吃),原來還傷腦筋不知去哪吃,香港來的朋友比我們三個還熟,找個路邊攤就解決了.回頭去開go kart,就在隔壁的batting cage,又是用餐的時間,烏龜問烏龜姐何處有活蝦,原來又在隔壁.所以我們第二日行程都在同一個地方.送走了朋友,我們匆匆去新竹找酒店,找了幾間決定了一間在聽說台灣最大的百貨公司隔壁的商業旅館住,一問才知道,那百貨已經倒一年多了,那商業旅館是乾淨,但內裝像圓山飯店,不是豪華程度,是年代久遠.之前看見幾間電動間,幾個人又往城隍廟口走,我喝了一碗控丸湯,那兩個人居然一個人又吃了一大堆,當其中一個問我還要不要吃豆花的時候,我的回答是,"豆花個你XX,還吃什麼鬼豆花,都十二點還吃"
我現在連帶手錶都會緊得留下印子,賣夠甲啦,你們是夭鬼上身阿...

頭三天
回台的頭三天,像是打仗一般,一場又一場,今天才有時間結算,一共見了五位朋友,三位客戶,乘了兩次高鐵,六次小黃,跟很多次捷運,真正自己逛街的時間只有昨晚在漢神百貨的一個小時.btw, 穿西裝去逛高級服飾區真的很怪,很多專櫃小姐都投以懷疑的眼神,大概以為我是不知道哪一個西裝專櫃的服務員吧.
夜市倒是去了好幾個,台北的公館,高雄的六合,新堀江,吃了不少小吃,高級料理也吃了不少,感謝高雄朋友的爸媽百忙中還帶我吃超高級鐵板燒,吃龍蝦,39樓看高雄港,夠利害吧.
另外值得一提的是,第一天到,已婚朋友向我抱怨,來台兩年,見到的正妹大概只有五個,但我當天晚上和爸爸吃飯就見到好幾個,還有幾個疑似明星的,有一個真的很像是小s.所以證明,正妹只有晚上,東區,和高級料理餐廳出沒.

actually, it was small S, I saw her picture on "apple daily" the next day, the exact outfit.

The flight in with an annoying neighbour…
Taking long flight is never a fun thing unless it is your first time on a plane. It was my first in a very long time to take China Airline. Last time was back in 1992 when I took China Airline to Vancouver.
Stuck in a cramp seat for 13 hours may become less bearable when your neighbour is annoying. In my case, I had an extra annoying neighbour.
It was a middle age Asian guy (I have no idea where he is from, I was guessing somewhere in Southeast Asia), he had a balding head with oversized glasses. He had his son (presumed) with him, so he talked to him all the time. Yes, even when he had his earphone on.
I later found out that his wife (presumed) was on the same flight, but was at a different row. How did I find out? A woman walked pass in the middle of the night and started chatting with him loudly and woke me up. You see, I had the aisle seat, and he sat beside me, so they had to talk over me, and they did, loudly.
During the journey, he would occasionally elbow me when reaching for stuff, move the arm rest up and down, (the only thing that divided our seats, my only protection from him), and moved his bag every 15 mins.
Those things weren’t the worst.
The worst was when he inhale loudly through his nose, hold for a sec and let out a huge “ah~” afterwards. It was loud enough to wake me up after I fell sleep a few times during the in flight movie. At first, I thought maybe he was trying to remind me that I was missing the best parts, but he did that during meals as well. He did it frequently, he did it proudly, even when everyone was sleeping.
Thanks, strange-middle-age-southeast asian guy, you made my long journey that more memorable, for the wrong reasons.

Soulmate - Natasha Bedingfield
Many people think there are at least one soulmate they should be searching for in their lifes. The thing is, you never know when you are going to come across one, and what do you do when you think you have met your "soulmate"? What if that person does not think you are his/her soulmate?
Here is a song that hit me this cold cold morning. Natasha's voice is quite unqiue, the song very much pop.
Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You're not easy to find
Is it possible Mr. Loveable
Is already in my life?
Right in front of me
Or maybe you're in disguise
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

回家的理由
這次是有兩年多沒回台灣,每次回去好像都要給自己一個很好的理由,就像小學生校外教學一樣,回來要寫出一套有頭有尾的心得. 不是反共大陸,就是要愛護花草.
是最好的朋友要結婚? 好像不結了
是奶奶身體不好? 好像已經好很多了
是陪女朋友回去? 好像自己又單身了
最後好像變成為了工作回去,是了,我還要見見素昧平生的幾個大客,在久未見長輩的靈牌前鞠躬,陪幾個男人南台灣拍我們自己的海角七號,和爺爺逛公園,在夜市吃小吃...
為什麼好像假期未開始,就覺得已經結束的疲憊?
為什麼每次回台灣都覺得有點寂寞?
這次為了誰,還是為了什麼,好像已經不重要了,反正每天還是要盯著我的電腦,做我的工作.

Definitely, Maybe
Love can be complicated, that is according to my favourite movie in 2008.
In "Definitely, Maybe", a divorcing dad is trying to tell his young daughter the story of how he met her mother.
It brought us back to a time when the young man had passion and ambition. While he was pursuing his dreams, relationship happened. There were three women, one blond college love, innocent, and loving, one brunette writer, smart and seductive, one redhead copier girl, spontaneous and sweet.
During the process of discovering what the young man really wants in life, we guess along with the daughter who would end up to be the mom, also the person the dad is divorcing.
It is a great movie, like my previous favourites, it contains lots of conversations, about dreams, ambitions, relationships, failed relationships...
All these emotions will definitely touch any of us who have hurt or been hurt in a relationship, however painful it may be, it will all pass, the life will move on, so the story continues...

Olive Theory
According to my new favourite tv show, "how i met your mother", there is a cute theory called "Olive Theory".
The theory says that if someone who loves olives meets someone who hates olives, they will make a great couple. (or using the show's term, "awesome couple") Because one will compliment the other well.
I understand that theory, however, what if someone who loves olives meets another person who also loves olives? Do they share? What if one of them loves olives more than the other? Do they compromise? Do they fight? Does one of them eat all of the olives and make the other to get more olives?
How about 2 people who hate olives get together? Does one of them force the other to pick all the olives?
I think it is harder to find someone to compliment you than to compromise for the things you dont like.

雨下得真好
前一陣子,最令人震驚的台灣新聞,不是某前總統被拉去關,而是公認金童玉女的庾澄慶和伊能靜二十年的婚姻出了問題.今天晚上下了大雨,想到多年前,庾澄慶曾唱過的一首歌,現在也發生在自己身上,什麼令我心儀的好女生,現在聽起這首歌,說不盡的諷刺...
誰來為我打破沉默，將你我解脱，這撕裂的痛
我們都在等待着，誰會先開口，誰把問題說破。
欲哭無淚最清醒，心想天氣變化挣扎。
雨下得真好，不必面對面，
下得真好，模糊你在我心中的分量
雨下得真好，代替了藉口，
下得真好，我們都想轉身向寂寞投靠。
雨下得真好……
誰來為我打破沉默，將你我解脱，這撕裂的痛
我們都在等待着，誰會先開口，誰把問題說破。
欲哭無淚最清醒，心想天氣變化挣扎。
雨下得真好，不必面對面，
下得真好，模糊你在我心中的分量
雨下得真好，代替了藉口，

雨下得真好……
