Parting season // 離別時

又koh 是離別時. 我選擇 kek 恬靜, m̄koh 心頭猶原掛念.
Again it's the time of parting. I choose not to say a word about it, but it really does matter.

頂一ê 熱天着是 ánne. 離開=ê 總講是 bē koh 轉來. 時到寒天本底是該tio̍h 我, 我 soah 選擇緩期. 無人會了解我流連是何故.
I've experienced this last summer, and the leaving one never comes back. It was supposed to be my turn in the winter, but I chose to procrastinate. No one would ever know why I stayed.

直直開始無仝ê 新事工來逃閃. 活動我ê 日子來僻避傷悲. 誠希望有人會當了解我心頭正實ê 向望.
Always running away by starting new stuff. Freshening the life to keep away from sorrow. If only would anyone know that I really do care.

愛 ho͘ 人誠為難. 恬靜 chiah 是嘉言.
Love's so hard. Mum's the word.

AFI's 100 Best Movies // AFI 百齣上等上影戲

這站á 我 teh 看 "AFI 百冬 -- 百齣影戲" 列表頂面 ê 影戲. 我想若準是影戲工業歷史上 ê 百百齣經典 lóng m̄bat 看過實在真無采. 特別是人 lóng 已經選出來 ê 上等上作品.
Recently I'm watching the movies on the list of the AFI's 100 Years -- 100 Movies. I think it's quite a pity to miss hundreds of classics in the history of movie industry. Especially for those which were already picked for the best of the best.

下頭是我已經看過 ê. 我 teh 想我有時間應該針對每一齣來寫一寡感想. 上無我 mā 會當佇台文版 Wikipedia 寫寡紹介文章.
Below are the ones I've seen. I think I should write some reflections on each of them when I have time. At least I can write some introducing articles on the Taiwanese version Wikipedia.

  • Casablanca (1942)
  • Singin' in the Rain (1952)
  • Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

What a great gift // 誠大 ê 禮物

下晡有人挵門, khǹg 1-ê 箱á 佇門跤口. 箱á 是 UPS Ground 服務送來 ê. 因為誠大 koh 不止á 重, 我 koh 掠準有人寄烘爐來予我 leh.
Someone knocked on the door in the afternoon and left a huge box there. The box is sent by UPS Ground. It's so huge and quite heavy that I thought someone sent me an oven.

我 chiah 發現, 這 kha 夭壽大 ê 包裹原來是我進前 bat 講過 ê 出版社寄來 ê. 敢會記得我較早 bat 講着 ê, 邀請我成做會員 ê 英國出版社? 路尾我選 ê 新會員禮物是 "古時 ê 帝國". 另外 koh 有一組 in 講免費欲予所有新加入 ê 人 ê 辭典 kap 仝字意辭書.
Finally I realized that the package is from the publisher I mentioned. Remember that I talked about a British publisher that invited me to join their society? In the end I decided to choose "Empires of the Ancient World" for the gift of my new membership. And also, I got a free set of Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus as they promised for every newcomers.

Aniâ oĕh... 我想我無可能總讀, 雖bóng 伊真正會和盤 -- 我 lóng總付 ê 會費猶無 20 箍. 其它 lóng 免錢.
By Jove... I don't think I have any chance to read them all, though it's undoubtedly a real bargain -- all I paid is less than 20 bucks for my membership. Free for the rest.

[caption id="attachment_45" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Siutio̍h chhutpán siā ê sin chheh (Got the new books from the publisher)"]Sin chheh 1[/caption]

我 mā teh 想出版社到底發生啥物事. 定着是市場誠敗市 chiah 會遮爾好空. 我兩禮拜進前 chiah 提着 LA 時報另外 1-ê 和盤 ê 機會 -- 訂 LA 時報 12 禮拜 12 箍, koh 送 10 箍銀 In-N-Out 禮金卡.
I wonder what happened to the publishing industry. They're certainly under a great depression to offer all of these. I just got another offer, also an economical one, from LA Times two weeks ago -- 12 dollars for LA Times for 12 weeks, and a 10-dollars gift card of In-N-Out as a gift.

Taⁿ m̄知影愛偌爾á 拍拚 chiah 會當 kā 遮ê 總吞落去. Mài 講 che 猶是會員 taⁿá 開始爾爾. 我敢猶有氣力 koh 訂 in 其它出版物? 我知影 in 有一寡介贊 ê, 親像歸套 Harry Potter, Christie 探偵小說, 柳樹林內 ê 風...
Can't imagine what kind of diligence I need to finish devouring all of these. Not to mention that it's only the dawn of the membership. Would I still be vigorous to order any of their publications? I know they have really great ones like the Harry Potter series, the detective novels of Christie, and classics such as The Wind in the Willow...

無論如何, 祝我順利. 另外, 愛讀冊 ê 人, lóng 歡迎來借冊抑是新聞. :)
Anyway, wish me luck. By the way, everyone is welcome to borrow the book or the newspapers if one loves to read. :)

My name // 我 ê 名

這站á 我定定走去 Starbucks. 大部分 ê 服務員 lóng 已經沓沓á kap 我熟識. M̄koh 一寡人猶記 bē 牢我 ê 名, 包括我今á 日拄着 ê 服務員 mā 是.
I go to Starbucks quite often recently. Most of the servers there tend to recognize me right now. Some of them, however, still don't remember my name, and neither does the one who served me today.

伊這 pái 無問我 ê 名, 我 koh 想伊是已經記起來 ah. 結果我看着我杯á 頂面 ê 名 --
He didn't ask for my name this time, I thought he memorized it. Then I saw my name on the cup --

Hmmmh, 我開始 teh 憢疑我 lóng 予人啥物款印象 ah. :P
Well, I'm wondering about what kind of impressions I made on people now. :P
