[出走地平線:霓虹世界]
Flattening The Curve: Neon world
首次來到香港,我坐在雙層巴士的上層去到尖沙咀。當時既焦慮又興奮,期待著新生活的來臨。
在彌敦道懸掛著的霓虹燈招牌看上去頗有挑釁性,好像跟我鬧著玩…何解?
我也不清楚。
我不懂它們的意思,一個中文字也不認識,但它們就像不斷地向我傳遞訊息。
直至很多年以後,我才意識到它們跟我有何關係;把它們成為我作品的一部份,生命的一部份,讓我與這獨特的地方聯繫起來,成了我現在的家 。
霓虹燈的標誌催促著我要快點學會這些文字,躍身投入到這個地方。
它烘托空間有它獨特的方法:它是無比的自信。
它有自己的一種態度。
但因為人手製造,很多出乎意料的瑕疵(人人都有)讓它更有性格和誘人。
技術上而言,它只有短暫的壽命:它不過是藏在玻璃內的氣體。
I encountered Hong Kong riding the top deck of a bus entering Tsim Sha Tsui. I was anxious and excited I was coming to start a new life.
The neon signs that lined much of Nathan Road felt provocative, teasing me... why?
I wasn’t quite sure.
I couldn’t read them, I didn't know Chinese at the time. But they were messaging me.
Only so many years late I know why they connected with me and to what: to make them part of my work, my life, my way of connecting with the special place I now call home.
These signs were urging me to learn their message by learning their words and to make the leap of trust in this place.
Neon lights a space in a particular way: it's assertive.
It has to a certain attitude.
But being hand made, it has unexpected flaws (as we all have) that give it character, seductiveness.
And yet technically speaking, it’s ephemeral: it’s just gas in glass.

「我想我們準備好了」
接下來幾天會一一介紹VWI團隊的成員們。
我尊重,並對這群和我一起工作的人感到自豪。他們的咖啡資歷有深有淺,甚至完全沒有做過咖啡,但每一個人都抱著高度熱忱虛心學習。我在他們每個人身上都看到他們最獨特的迷人特質,所以決定一一介紹。
Ella是印尼華僑,在台灣學習中文。面試時她透露曾在英國就學,巧克力店打工,與我的經驗不謀而合,當然也開啟了我們之間的共同語言。Ella的超強學習能力與靦腆形成相當大的可愛反差。她的咖啡技術也神速進步中。
- 辦公室日常之VWI咖啡小精靈嗅覺養成記
香氣是最熟悉的陌生人,聞到一個熟悉的味道卻說不出個所以然。
今天的主人公是有著VWI咖啡小精靈稱號的Ella,她從 King's College London 的 Psychology with Basic Medical Sciences 科系畢業後被咖啡的香氣所吸引。
這幾天在跟她聊天時,無意間聊到了一件有趣的事,她說「有很多研究指出我們的嗅覺與情緒和記憶直接相關,咖啡又有著複雜的香氣組合,讓我很驚訝很興奮。」說完臉上露出了可愛的笑容。
麻雀雖小五臟俱全,別看她小隻,她可是潛力股。
Our sense of smell has been said to be directly connected to our emotions. I personally love the aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning, as it affects how I feel about starting the day. I think it really helps in giving me a renewed sense of enthusiasm for what’s to come! 😊

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*妳是什麼時候,如何開始cosplay的呢?
我第一次cosplay是在2005年,當時還是高中生。
但我當時並沒有足夠的資源,所以afk了很長一段時間,一直到3年前才重新回來cosplay。
*妳第一次cosplay是什麼角色呢?
庫洛洛‧魯西魯,是獵人中的角色。但我是10年前cos他的,現在沒有照片了。
這有點可惜,我正在計畫再重新cos他一次!
*最困難的角色是誰呢?
仙劍奇俠傳中的趙靈兒。她是位溫柔優雅的女士,讓她成為台灣遊戲中"最美的女性角色"。
要呈現這樣優美的角色真的很難。
*妳是否計畫未來要扮演什麼樣的角色,以及哪個類型的角色呢?
我正在計畫要扮成宮崎駿的電影"風之谷"裡面的娜烏西卡。
另外,因為我喜歡玩魔獸世界和英雄聯盟,將來會扮演更多遊戲裡面的角色。
*當妳開始一項新的cosplay時,你的過程是怎樣的?
一件新開始的cosplay,準備是永遠不夠多的。
第一個考量是花費,"這個角色我可以花多少錢和時間"是非常重要的。
接著就是盡我所能用最好的原材料去完成。
*你能提供任何在cosplay時,有關於縫紉、服裝設計或外觀創作上的實用建議嗎?
我喜歡發揮創意,使用簡單和便宜的東西創做出高質感的作品,那對我而言會更有成就感。
但在做衣服時我會選擇負擔得起的最好布料。
較優質的毛布和皮布會比較貴,但成品也會值得那個價。
然後最後一點,"絕對不要"忘記你把大頭針和針頭放在哪!
這些小東西對我的手指和腳趾來說一直都是殺人機器.....
*妳有特別偏愛的彩妝品嗎? 為什麼?
我的保養品和化妝品都是用高絲的雪肌精。
只有粉底是用Make up forever,因為它的遮瑕效果神強大。
*妳都聽什麼音樂呢?
我超愛"Lovelive!學園偶像"!
最近我常常在玩她們的遊戲和聽她們的歌。
*最喜歡的電影是什麼?
我最愛宮崎駿的電影。
我看它們好幾十次了! 而且那些配樂也非常優美。
*最喜歡的動畫?
應該是"海賊王"和"獵人"。
這兩個裡面我很難說到底更喜歡哪一個。
*最喜歡的電視節目?
台灣有個多元談話性節目叫"康熙來了"。
它在台灣很紅,不少人每天晚上都會看它,看了好幾年了!
但這節目最近決定要收起來了讓人很難過。
*有任何一個動畫、卡通、電影或電視裡的場景,讓妳留下深刻的印象嗎? 是什麼呢?
海賊王裡面有一幕,當妮可‧羅賓大哭大叫說"我想活下去!!!"
那段故事太震撼了讓我每次一看到那裏就會哭。
*最喜歡的書?
我最喜歡的書叫做"Q&A",作者是維卡斯·史瓦盧普。
它後來被翻拍成電影"貧民百萬富翁"。
*最喜歡的遊戲?
魔獸世界。永遠的最愛。
為了部落!!!!!
*最喜歡的飲料?
絕對是可樂。追新番的時候邊吃洋芋片配可樂真的是太美好了!
*喜歡的速食/ 垃圾食物?
洋芋片和可樂。永遠的最佳選擇~
*最喜歡的糖果?
巧克力。它跟可樂和洋芋片也很搭。
(回答完上面三題後我有一點小罪惡感... :P )
*最喜歡的早餐脆片口味?
我早上會吃飯糰當早餐,所以很少吃玉米片。
它是一種在台灣和日本都很普遍的食物,用白飯、肉鬆和海苔做的。
*有沒有什麼事情是妳未來想在cosplay圈中看到的,或任何妳會想去改變的呢?
我有許多朋友都因為工作職業或家庭而放棄了cosplay。
假如有任何是我想在這圈子看到的,那會是一個更開心的環境,讓這些人可以不會受到不實批評地盡情玩cosplay。
*妳成長過程中最喜歡的玩具?
鋼彈系列,尤其是"新機動戰記鋼彈 W"。
*妳最最最愛的角色是誰,為什麼?
獵人的庫洛洛‧魯西魯。
他同時也是我第一個cos的角色。
*妳到了一間倉庫,整個黑黑的,只有角落一點點燈光。妳走了過去,發現有五隻小丑樣子的食屍鬼正在玩跳舞類型的機台遊戲。他們牙齒很尖銳而且有可怕的武器,而且魔法對他們無效。現在他們發現妳然後要攻擊妳,是時候開打了!!!請問妳會選擇變成哪個角色,然後會用什麼方式來化解這個危機呢?
我會想變成海賊王的魯夫,跟他們當朋友,或者用橡膠拳頭揍他們 ;)
*假如妳必須跟一個角色綁在一起一整年,妳會選擇哪個角色,怎麼做?
哆啦A夢! 跟他綁在一起的話一整年完全ok的。也許更久也行。
*妳可以跟你最喜歡的角色一起吃晚餐,並且在晚餐時問他一個問題。妳會選擇誰,問什麼問題呢?
我會想選海賊王的魯夫,然後問他可不可以讓我加入他們 :P
*妳的人生清單中第一項目是什麼?
跟我的愛人一起去南極,陪企鵝玩!
*妳會給剛加入cosplay圈的新人什麼建議呢?
當個真正的cos"玩家",不要當個cos製造機。去玩妳真正喜歡的,並跟妳真正喜歡的人玩。

*When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
The first time I started in cosplay is about 2005, when I was a high school student.
But I didn't have enough resources to support this interest at that time, so I AFK for a long period, and back to cosplay from 3 years ago.
*What was your first Cosplay?
Chrollo Lucilfer, a character from "Hunter x Hunter". But I cosplayed him 10 years ago, and I didn't have any pictures now.
It's a pity and I'm planning to cosplay him one more time!
*What was the most difficult character?
»¯ÆF¨à, a charater from ¥P¼C©_«L¶Ç(Chinese Paladin, PAL). She's a gentle and elegant young lady, makes her been "The most beautiful female game character" of taiwanese games.
It's really hard for me to present such a beautiful character.
*What characters are you planning for the future and type of character are you drawn to?
I'm planning to cosplay ®R¯Q§Æ¥d (Nausicaa), a character from ®c±TÂ@'s (Hayao Miyazaki) movie "·¤§¨¦" (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind).
Besides, since I like to play "World of Warcarft" and "League of legend", I'll cosplay more charaecters from them.
*What is your process when starting from the begining with a new cosplay?
It's never enough to prepare for a new cosplay.
The first condition is costs, "how much money and time I can take for this character" is very important.
Then use the materials I can get for the best.
Also I'll spend a lot of time searching for the character's posture, expression way, etc.
*Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
I like to do it with creativity. It gives me more accomplishment to use easier and cheaper stuff making high quality products.
But I use the best cotton materials as I can when making clothes.
The better fur and leather might be more expensive, but also the finished effect worth the prize.
And last one, NEVER forget where you put your needles and pins!
These little metals are killing machines to my toes and fingers all the time.....
*Do you have a preferred brand of make up in your cosplay? And if so why?
I use a brand called "³·¦Ùºë" (KOSE) as my care and cosmetics.
Only foundation is "Make up forever" because of its amazing concealer capacity.
*What are you listening to?
I love "Lovelive! School Idol" very much!
Recently I played their games and listening to the songs often.
*Favorite Movies?
®c±TÂ@'s (Hayao Miyazaki) movies are my favorites.
I watched them so dozens times! And the musics are also beautiful.
*Favorite Animes?
That would be "One Piece" amd "Hunter x Hunter".
It's hard to say which one I love more than the other one.
*Favorite TV Shows?
"±dº³¨Ó¤F"(Kangsi Coming) is a Taiwanese variety-comedy talk show.
It's very popular in Taiwan, many people here watch it every night for years!
So sad that they decided to be off the air recently.
*Is there a scene from a anime, cartoon, movie or tv show that left a big impression on you and what was it?
A scene from "One Piece", when Nico Robbin cried and yelled "I want to live!!!"
The story of her was so powerful that made me cry everytime I watched it.
*Books?
My favorite noval is "Q&A", written by Vikas Swarup.
It has been adapted into the movie "Slumdog Millionaire".
*Games?
"World of Warcraft". Forever.
For the Horde!!!!!
*Beverage?
Always Cola. It's so wonderful to have cola and chips while watching new animes!
*Fast Food/ Junk Food of choice?
Chips and cola. Best choice ever ~
*Candy bar?
Chocolate. It would be nice with cola and chips, too.
(I feel a little guilty after these three questions... :P)
*Favorite Breakfast cereal?
I take "onigiri" as my breakfast, so I seldom eat cereal.
It's made from rice, meat floss and seaweed, a normal food in Japan and Taiwan.
*Is there something not going on in the cosplay world that you would want to see or is there something you would want to change?
Many friends of mine has given up cosplay because of their job or family.
If there's anything I want to see would be a happier environment, and let them can cosplay without untrue judgment.
*What was your favorite toy growing up?
GUNDAM series, especially "New Mobile Report Gundam W".
*Who is your biggest character crush and why?
Chrollo Lucilfer from "Hunter x Hunter".
He's also my first cosplay character.
*You enter a warehouse. There is little light, but you are able to find your way around.
The sound of music draws you to a corner of the warehouse. There are FIVE GHOUL CLOWNS, playing a dancing video game.
They have razor sharp teeth and scary weapons. Magic can not affect them; they sense your presence and turn facing you.
They run to you to attack. Time to fight! What character would you want to be to defeat them and how would you handle the situation?
I want to be Luffy (One Piece), making friends with them or hitting them a big rubber punch ;)
*If you had to be chained with a character for one year, what would be the character and what would you do?
Doraemon! It's totally OK to chain with him for one year. Maybe more.
*You can have dinner with your favorite character. And at this dinner you may ask one question.
Who would be the character and what would be your one question?
I'll like to have dinner with Luffy (One Piece) and ask him to let me go with them :P
*What's number 1 on your bucket list? (Something you want to do before you leave the planet).
Go to the South Pole with my lover and play with penguins!
*What advice would you give to people getting started in Cosplay?
Be a real cos"player", not a cosmaker. Play with what you like, and who you like.
