Chia Latte (印度?) 辛香料茶

Chia Latte time!  It is getting cold and really feels winter approaching.  Also it is the perfect time to have a cup of home made Chia latte.

冬天漸漸近了, 上個月去緯度高的墨爾本時已經很有冬天的氣氛. 但在布里斯本還只有秋天的微涼. 不過近來晚上已經連續掉下不及攝氏15度過一週, 晚一點唸書或早一點寫曲子時, 已經可以確確實實的感到寒意, 正是可以享受 Chia Latte (辛香料茶-也有人稱印度香料茶) 的時刻.

Property Market Watch Update

May 29-30, 2010 Andrea Lunt, The Courier-Mail Property: Auctions rate in tough market.

Just spotted some interesting points in this weekend's property section:

The tittle actually said 'tough market', no wonder I found the market seems much quieter than last year.  It also stated: 'Agents across the city have reported tougher conditions this year, with an average of one in four properties selling under the hammer at weekend auctions of late.'  This sounds to me that at the moment the market are steady and slow.  Wonder how long the market is going to remain steady, hopefully another half an year...but looks not likely to be that long.

五月音樂會後小記, 中菜館: Toowong-China Kitchen, Stanthorpe-Golden Grove 白酒

好吧, 其實根本不是音樂會後真的有什麼值得大書特書的心得感想或反省, 單純只是寫了半分鐘的四重奏怎麼樣也寫不下去而來逃避現實,  順便把一些生活中的零碎小事記錄起來.

以前寫的日記不知道收到哪裡去了? 中學同學 C 在我出國前夕送過一本那種用硬紙盒封上可以落個小鎖的精美古典日記本, 現在還收伸手可及的書架上, 大概是唯一留在身邊的一本吧.  看看以前寫的東西, 當時的感想, 是一件有趣的事.

A Theory of Colours-amazing experience

It's already the end of May.   How did this month pass so fast?

Many thanks to many people that made this concert possible.  Putting on a concert involves million things an every detail need to work together to present a piece of work in the end.  I can't thank more for taking a small part of this exciting event.

For people who were there I wish that you all enjoyed it.  For people who were not there, wish to see you next time.

It has been a while to find myself in the middle of projects one after the other and I seriously miss it!

Melbourne 二日行食記-胡同, Box Hill, Brunetti 甜點

夫妻肺片

自上次回國, 不知不覺過了兩年半, 雖說在布里斯本要吃中式料理很容易, 食材也幾乎要什麼有什麼. 若是想什麼不特花時間, 工夫粗淺的, 自己弄弄是一點也不難. 偏生愛吃的盡是些要花時間, 或講究工夫的菜式.

迷你同學會食記補- Mt Tamborine, Montrachet

趁這次同學來訪, 再把一兩個離布里斯本不遠可吃可玩的地方記起來.

直奔大海後的隔天驅車上山, 這裡山上最流行的不是農莊果園, 就是酒莊了.  車程大約一小時的 Mt. Tamborine 是一個方便的去處.  每一次上去都發覺酒莊愈開愈多, 工藝品店也是愈來愈多.  有乳酪, 啤酒, 冰淇淋工廠, 有手工巧克力,  這次去連薰衣草園都有了.

Many thanks

Owing great gratitude to many people for today's performance.  The administration of putting together the event, performers, audiences, etc.

Been placed right after Benjamin Britten's composition is a great honour, also a great horror.  It is a thrilling opportunity to hear this work live and have the score right next to my hands.  Still many to learn from the performance, the professionals and from the writing of the others'.  Best of all, I am still writing and still enjoy the process.

難得的同窗相聚-Brisbane 一日遊 Mooloolaba

夏末秋初的四月, 布里斯本雖還是一片艷陽高照的藍天白雲, 但日照時間漸短, 陽光烈度也緩了許多. 這樣嫵媚的季節裡, 三位闊別多年的中學同學, 約在南半球聚首. 見到老同學從機場裡伴著秋初舒爽閒適的輕風走出來時的開心, 筆墨難以形容.

畢業, 入社會, 進職場, 不是沒有交朋友的機會, 但那種從憂鬱青澀年少就相遇, 見過自己最笨拙最單純時期的同學還是有點兒不同.
