意外之旅



出發的兩天前
一行六人
目的地由曼谷轉至東京
只因當地政局不穩



也好
本來就好想去賞櫻



幸運地趕上了
今年盛放的最後一個溫暖週日

選了在中野賞櫻
好冷門

因為朋友順也說他家附近的櫻花
比新宿御苑開得更好(真的嗎?)
不過地道的風味也很不錯
起碼可以避開人潮



很喜歡逛上野
很地道的雜亂
像香港的廟街
想起大友克洋堆切的街景



第二天
大雨下個不停
氣溫一下子降了廿度

濕冷想到櫻花

好可憐

只能室內活動了
便去了銀座ggg
看TDC展

以及朋友在涉谷的的工作室




離開的前一天
好想再去多看一天櫻花
有點後悔沒離隊

除了晚上去了花小金井泡溫泉
就忘了去過那裡



東京巿郊的黃昏到晚上
半明不暗的光線襯托帶點布景版況味的街景
像特攝片
反而覺著寧靜而可愛

就這様

怱怱回程...

Every day a "leaf" is falling

Autumn Calendar
by Euro RSCG Duesseldorf

Very creative idea and make our lives have more fun.
But you need to clean up your home everyday, haha!






Quoted from designyearbook:
"STIHL needed something new, something has never seen before as a business gift to to promote its new line of leaf blowers. The German agency, Euro RSCG Duesseldorf responded with an invention. They created the autumn calendar 2010- the first tear-off calendar that tears off its leaves automatically. The autumn calendar symbolizes the necessity of STIHL leaf blowers each day of fall in an entertaining way. The calendar covers the time period from September 23- December 21, where autumn arrive."

一絲不掛

就像愛情轉移的後編

自從愛情結束
期待另一次轉移的過渡心態
帶份通透的樂觀

這次卻好似是另一人身
結束後難以抽離
唯有沉溺上段感情的束縛

和痛

p.s. 沙畫的表演很好看



分手時內疚的你一轉臉
為日後不想有甚麼牽連
當我工作睡覺禱告娛樂那麼刻意過好每天
誰料你見鬆綁了又願見面

誰當初想擺脫被圍繞左右
過後誰人被遙控於世界盡頭
勒到呼吸困難才知變扯線木偶
這根線其實說到底 誰拿捏在手

不聚不散 只等你給另一對手擒獲
那時青絲 不會用上餘生來量度
但我拖著軀殼 發現沿途尋找的快樂
仍繫於你肩膊 或是其實在等我捨割
然後斷線風箏會直飛天國

這些年望你緊抱他出現
還憑何擔心再互相糾纏
給我找個伴侶找到留下你的足印也可發展
全為你背影逼我步步向前

如一根絲牽引著拾荒之路
結在喉嚨內痕癢得似有還無
為你安心我在微笑中想吐未吐
只想你和伴侶要好才頑強病好

不聚不散 只等你給另一對手擒獲
以為青絲 不會用上餘生來量度
但我拖著軀殼 發現沿途尋找的快樂
仍繫於你肩膊 或是其實在等我捨割
然後斷線風箏會直飛天國

一直不覺 綑綁我的未可扣緊承諾
滿頭青絲 想到白了仍懶得脫落
被你牽動思覺 最後誰願纏繞到天國
然後撕裂軀殼 欲斷難斷在 不甘心去捨割
難道愛本身可愛在於束縛

Eco packaging design

Ecological Take Away Packaging





Found a very simple and great concept for a take out packaging in thedieline.com:

"Using banana leaves as a new material to create new ecological packages for take away. Banana leaves are a product which exists in many regions around the world. This material has a wax-like surface which is ideal for wet and greasy foods. It is flexible and therefore can be adapted to many types of packaging. The leaves last long after they are cut o ff the trees. The packages are cut to form using die cutting technology. No glue is used. The unique qualities of this material allow packages to be opened simply by tearing the banana leaf along its natural perforation.

Today the majority of disposable goods are wrapped in man-made, often petro-based materials that usually last far longer than the items they protect. With many companies spending millions on R&D searching for more sustainable alternatives, an Israeli designer named Tal Marco has taken a decidedly low-tech and refreshing approach to package design with his use of natural banana leaves.

Banana leaves are highly flexible, easy to open and have a naturally waxy surface that is ideal for food applications. Although not a completely novel idea, Marco's design uses die-cut leaves that can be folded into numerous forms and lend themselves well to many retail applications. His design was showcased in Designboom's "Dining in 2015" design competition and the concept puts many of the most "environmentally friendly" packages on the market today to shame. (quoted from thedieline.com)"


Green Marker




found another "green concept" design which by yuruliku, not really environmental friendly, but very lovely, simple and beautiful.
