Smell in Spring

In the last day of April, I smell the greenness of Spring.

Every plant seems waited for a long time, wait the time for them to grow, they can't wait anymore to show how beautiful they are, when the Spring has come. They grow super fast, I don't even know where do they come from. It is a bare grass land today, the flowers will show up in the next day.

Grass is the most subtle but the most desire to grow, I can tell from how often I see the gardener when they are cutting the grass. I like the smell of grass, especially when they are being cut.

In the last day of April, I smell the energy of Spring.

Frustrated by my carelessness

My dear Lower Back,

I'm sorry, I hurt you in the rehearsal today. I hope you are well. I know you are mad on me for my careless, I can feel it, you are not willing to let me move you anymore. I know you need to be stretch and warm up before I make you move. It was all my fault, I promise I will take a good care of you in the future, so, please forgive me. I still have so many thing want to do, I can't make it without you!

Hope can dance with you again in the near future!

Sincerely,
Jo ;P

Fill in the blank

今天跟朋友仔Skype了六個多小時，真是不得了，都不知是我陪她還是她陪我。

我想人都是希望能夠完完整整的，就像填充題，從小到大，不知完成了多少填充練習，學習將自己認為的正確答案填在空格內。空格以外的上文下理我們都知得一清二楚，只是如何尋找正確答案？當中又有多少空格可以有多過一個的正確答案呢？無論懂不懂，也想填些甚麼來把句子完成，就算是碰運氣也好，至少不會錯失得分的機會。

Life brings us lessons, one season at a time.

又看了一套電影，這次是Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring。

一套很禪的電影，很簡單，但使我明白了一點點。

一切順其自然吧。

Old Boy 觀後感

寬恕真是一件不容易的事，但不能原諒一個人也是很花氣力的。有人可以花一生的時間去計畫怎樣報仇，每天的生活就是監視仇人的一舉一動，計算著他應該得到怎樣的下場。仇報了，自己生存的目的沒有了。這樣好嗎？不是很累嗎？又有誰想自己的生命是這樣？

原諒別人等於放過自己，可以的話．．．不要太計較吧！

Steam chicken wing

I missed the taste of this dish for a long time, I finally got the ingredients to make it, though it is not really like the taste of my mom's cooking ... still yummy.

Mother, Happy Birthday!

Sound from my body

當雙手放在胸前，深深呼吸著的時候，彷彿感覺到雙手與心臟之間仍有一絲絲的痛。

Me mi me mi me

I took a voice class with Miguel today, it was unexpected interesting, and I had so much fun in it. I always don’t have confident with my voice, especially singing, but after this class, I felt like I can try. The class started with drawing, we drew what we think our voice like, and which part of the body will block our voice. Everyone’s drawing is interesting, each of us has different thought of our voice… of course, and those approaches to the drawings are so different in terms of drawing, it was an interesting sharing.

After that we tried how to find our voice from breathing to make a sound “ha”. We did it when we were lying down, we took a deep breath, and then we made a sound of “ha” at the end of exhale. From a single “ha” to double “ha” to five “ha”s, we learnt how to use the breath to support our voice when we project it! Then we tried to use our voice with different sound while we were standing. “m”, “n”, “ng”, “m+n”, “m+ng”, “hi-o”… The funniest sound was “mi”, we had to make it from the nose, it sounded like the character in cartoons, it was so difficult to concentrate in this exercise, because we needed to look at Miguel and talk to him with “mi”, he looked so cartoons and he was so serious at the same time, I had a hard time to stop myself laughing when I talked with him, but it was really fun.

We ended the workshop with singing, we went to the piano, and Miguel picked a note from the piano randomly, and made a song for us, the song was beautiful though we were just repeating the same phrase in different pitch… “Don’t you want me babe, don’t you want me woo-oo-o.” … The melody of this song resonated me in the rest of the day.

Such a beautiful sunny weekend.

Chicago in Hollins

晚上回學校看了Chicago，這是學校的production，演員的都是under-grad的同學仔，她們的演出比我想像中好，不過始終是學校show，加上要演這劇，她們的年紀還少，感覺上有欠說服力。看著這musical，不禁令我想起在香港的同學仔，心想換了在台上的是他們的話，應該會更有水準。即使在New York時看Broadway musical，我都認為我在香港的朋友仔絕對不比台上的遜色，他們絕對有能力站在那台上，所欠的就只是一個working visa吧！
