要在素有“瑞士钟表摇篮”之誉的侏罗山区里一个小山镇,Le Locle ,住上两个礼拜。住进酒店时才发现没有网路设施,小镇上也没看到Internet Cafe,好不容易找到一家早上5点开门、晚上11点打烊的餐吧,到处为腕表客户提供活动餐饮的老板在店里,设了免费Wi Fi,于是每天早上清晨5点左右便捧着电脑,在约莫摄氏9度的空气里走10分钟到餐吧上网,和时差6小时的同事、客户沟通讨论大小事情。因为是6月,打包带来的衣物都是短袖或无袖,没想到Le Locle反常地在夏季进入冬天,便每天披着飞机上穿的一件单薄羊毛衫在小镇里像个怪物般晃来晃去。
餐吧的老板一大早看到我,便问我是否有时差,我每天睡得香甜,根本不愿醒来,然而我该如何告诉他生活逼人的英文?
还没有来瑞士以前,因为工作失误而心情沮丧到极点,加上环环相扣的死期,让我看不到未来两个月的周末,我几乎想落跑欧洲。因为奔波而好几个礼拜没有机会好好说话的室友南西羊,在我抵达瑞士那天传简讯告诉我,我会撑过去的。
也许我这样,每天睡4、5个小时,把手边工作做好,我就会撑过去的。

Post Coverage of Housewarming Party
We partied through the wee hours of the morning. I said goodbye to the last five guests who apparently are all alcoholics but managed to hold their drinks that night. Nancy took the picture of empty wine bottles when she woke up in the afternoon I guess. 我们喝了七瓶红酒、一瓶小瓶Whiskey,应该还不算太过分。
(I keep the best wine from the region of Margaux which was given by my dear friend, Mitchel, for another occasion.)
A dear friend of mine brought his pet instead of his friend over. He was the best PR one can get. Inexpensive and reliable. 朋友天量的柴犬,花生。是暖屋派对的明星。照片也是南西羊拍的。
One week after the housewarming party, I had to leave for business trip in HK then head back to my hometown in Penang. Life in China is hectic but interesting. It involves a lot of travelling as China is one big country. The instability of lifestyle opens up to immense possibilities, known and unknown. To be honest, I am not sure if I would still live in Beijing in the next six months. Perhaps I should host another party to welcome myself back to BJ next week since everyday in BJ might be my last day there?

梦话
梦到自己被无理要求做更多的工作,结果说了一句很生气的梦话后醒来。“你这样很白烂耶”,记忆中好像在梦里快哭出来了。
6:45am。很想继续睡,却还是爬起来写稿了。
8:20am。想到自己很久没有那么早起床而且保持清醒,效率高得30分钟左右就写完一篇稿子,忽然觉得害怕。
这样的日子还要过多久?

暖屋派对
虽然杂志严重脱期,暖屋派对还是要办。
就像明明知道吸烟危害健康,在有尼古丁的空气中呼吸还是觉得特别有安全感。就像明明知道酒精为肝带来负担,喝酒的时候还是认为清醒和不清醒之间的界线越模糊越好。就像明明知道人生不值得活的,活着的时候颓废地又比谁都还用力,用力到好像颓废是一种值得积极的目标了。
搬家了。从1号楼搬到2号楼,从三居室公寓搬到二居室。新家的好处是家具是清爽的白色系,可能很容易弄脏,但我近视,问题就变得不大了。Housewarming Party订在本周六。在北京的你们,都可以来玩。
Event Info.
Housewarming Party in PEKING
yet another excuse to get drunk
hosted by W. Teoh + N. Yang
For moving into a new place should be an exciting event and the day should also mark the end of Wish's fight with deadline. Come with your best mix-and-match as the hostess was once a fashion police.
When: 9th June 2007, 9pm till late
Where: China Central Place, Beijing, China
如果你们都在北京就好了。

如果一切消失得那么快
应该有5年没见了吧。在LG双子大厦其中一栋楼下了出租车,没有人,站在大门口探了一下,身后传来一把声音,hey。既熟悉又陌生,既遥远又靠近。一样的脸,只不过下巴的胡渣更多。原来穿在180公分身上的长身外套,换成了Paul Smith的西装和领带。带着不太过分但听得出来是日本口音的英语,疲惫的眼神让人看着觉得更加疲惫,没有笑容,非常封闭拘谨,仿佛和我见面是一场事关生死的面试。直到在餐桌上第一瓶啤酒快喝完了,才告诉我,去年结了婚,现在有一个一岁大的儿子。现实像一面墙被某种力量向我推进,直到我眼前,我应该往相反方向逃跑,但反而问他有没有小孩的照片。露出难得的片刻笑容,掏出手机,让我看那名叫不知道是希望还是理想的小孩的照片。那墙被进一步推到我鼻尖两公分外停下。
好像一晃眼5年就过去了。我们一顿饭还没吃完,两个人分开后的生活就已经交待完毕。
好短,也好长。
