Diary- Mar 2009


Mar 1.
Weekend after the exam week. Though I've been complaining having no time to discover the city, there is really nothing especially interesting at this time around. So I just get on my bike and head to the city centre. I found dutch translation of Haruki Murakami's book. Also some boys playing hockey on a makeshift ice rink in front of the Rijksmuseum. Oh, I have to get used to the back-paddling brake soon, or I'll hit something sooner or later.

最近才在地鐵站看到海報,原來這兒每年都有Master Pianist的系列音樂會,看了一下2008~2009年的演出者,只認識紀辛和李雲迪,可惜都已經錯過了

繼上次寫過的三人行交友節目後,我又發現了MTV台的蹄笑皆非無腦節目,都屬於reality show,首先是"A shot at love with Tila Tequila",Tila是個bisexual social queen,節目找來16個男男女女爭取她的芳心,我只看到最後一集剩兩個人競爭,還有精采回顧,整段就是不停的嗶嗶嗶消音,類似的節目還有找雙胞胎的bi作主角的;第二個是"Paris Hilton's my new BFF",為芭莉絲希爾頓小姐尋找下一個best friend forever,也是每集淘汰一人,每一集有不同的任務或主題,例如要成為社交名媛的好朋友自然要有party all night的體力,所以大家在整夜趴踢後還被抓去玩騎馬打仗...

Mar 13~16 (Budapest)
March 15 commemorates the 1848 revolution, when Hungarians fought for independence from the Habsburg Empire. When we went to the castle district, we saw the former prime minister giving a speach. Though I don't understand what he's saying, the people around the square listened with great intensity.
註:1848年有很多革命,例如課本上出現過的推翻路易菲力的七月革命

Q. You've had some wonderful highs and pretty big lows. Do you know why?
MARAT SAFIN: It's me. It's my tennis. It's my career. Everybody's different, and that's how I am. That's a good question after ten years of my career, huh?
