又是她們給我靈感,這樣下去不成啦,快給人家知道我黔驢技窮,腦子鑽不出新東西出來寫啦,那我也圓不了當作家的夢,要繼續在這銅臭的圈子內混,嗚呼哀哉!
這次我沒得到她們什麼啟發,其實是想直接寫她們。反正在籌備寫澳洲大長篇,就當作是為我熱熱身、幫忙refresh一下記憶好了。
雖跟她們已認識了一段時間(其中一位有近15年,另一位也有8年),但近幾年卻沒有相聚了幾次,所以大家的友誼可形容為「這麼近‧那麼遠」。這陣子看了她們的博客,始發覺大家已展開了自己的新生活,人已長大了,在職業生涯上已開始累積成就,在人生旅途裡也經歷了一定困境。大家的見面機會少了,對話時間也相對短了很多,更不要說有深度的溝通了。即使聚舊,大家也只是報喜不報憂,反正是出來尋開心嘛!別人也不會對自己的事感興趣的,講了也是白饒,誰知人家抱什麼心腸?講了可能反被人家笑話。
換作是十多年前,妳老早已寫信給我了…妳的信我還留著,內容不就是什麼Peter、Olivia那些人了。怎樣?想不到我還留著那些信吧!噢!有痛腳在我手了,是否很惱我舊事重提了?還是臉紅害噪在跺腳呢?妳在facebook裡的照片,其中一幀是中學好友出閣,在文化中心被新郎抱起的一刻,妳在旁拍手及那張開心的嘴臉,是半點不能作假的。
至於妳,也可能在cell group完了後,站在Mirage旁邊吱吱喳喳的向我們投訴心中不快的事,又嚷著要這個要那個。妳在cell group裡像姊姊,cell group完了就做回妹妹,就是上帝那神蹟令妳成熟了幾年。那時也很想跟妳們這些cell group朋友再混熟一點,可惜當時我要經常趕回家交人,錯失了很多寶貴的機會。
朋友的一事一物,我能用腦裝的,就會在腦中長存;物件如書信,就會用文件夾套著好好保存。一步一腳印啊…
平心而論,縱使可能我相識的時間較長,但妳倆身邊的同事、密友應該比我更了解今天的妳。我對妳們的認識,相信仍停留在當年那時候,性格應沒大變吧,可能思想及習慣已不一樣,所以在我眼中今天的妳,應是當年所認識的妳再加/減近幾年會面的印象。
這世代,性格剛烈的女性很多,有些更比男性還要堅強、獨立及好勝,但內心卻是柔情似水,充滿了人情味。妳倆人還真是相識滿天下,不像我要在自己的博客裡不停出賣朋友,但寫來寫去都是妳倆人。
(除了妳的信外,我還留起了妳那位同學的。她,也是要被寫的…)

Is everything alright??
Hee... Just wondering... you sounded bit sentimental....
Well.. who is this friend ah??
Olivia and Peter? they were my friends too... hee... oh...maybe it's the HK group that i don't know.. just curious...
To Alice,
Ah Fa and Ah Ver are the 2 main characters in this 烈女 article. So Peter and Olivia are (were?) your friends too.
Yes, I was sentimental while writing it. Can tell meh?? Had to be emotional otherwise it is only another ordinary piece.
I was also listening to the old songs when writing these 2 friends and digging out the scenes from my head to recall my memory AND my feelings at that time and period.
Although many years have passed already since mid-90's, the good and bad times are still fresh.
Now you have a clue on who's Ah Fa's classmate that I still keep her letters and going to mention in my blog?
I still remember how you two girls dress in that blue college jumper, 15 years ago...

真想給你收版權費呀!hohohoho~
雖是短短的一篇博客,也讓我在這清早如時光倒流般回到過去,青春呀,青春,真是一去不返。:p
我很想念我的mirage,我很想念那時的真天真,真爛漫,雖然到現在,我還是保留我這獨有的個性。但是,經過歲月的洗禮,我還不得不承認,現在的我,多了點風霜。(差點打了風塵味,哈哈哈)
謝謝你觀人於微,謝謝你看得出我認真時表現成熟,放鬆時就如小孩子般要人照料;原來,我到現在還是這樣子。
剛好,最近也有人對我給予意見,我想,就算多忙碌,我還是要偷點時間寫點甚麼。
請你晚點到訪小妹的雅居。

It's very re-freshing to read your article first thing in the morning in office! I didn't realize we've known each other for 15 years! And indeed I liked writing letters...that's the way to express my feelings and emotion. I'm sure Alice knows me the best :p I like to talk, I am not good at expressing my words in a logical way :p Sometimes I don't even know what point I wanna make...
Alice
Didn't you realize I am Farah? hahaha~~
To Veron,
"請你晚點到訪小妹的雅居"
嘩!好引人遐想呀...
青春及時間都是一去不返,我們唯一可以做的,就是要儘量珍惜身邊所有的人和事,及一天活得比一天開心
To Fagu,
Well, even though emails are more convenient to preseve than letters so long you have a big harddisk capacity. I prefer to see written communications on paper rather than on any electronic means. At least I can see your hand-writings were improving from time to time, and can also read your mood at the time of writing through the script.
Yes, Alice may not know Fagu is Farah. What a pity that she is the 3rd target reader after you two...
To Alice,
Strongly advise you to re-read the article! :P
Frank
相識那麼久了,對我有甚麼好遐想?哈哈~
小妹的雅居還不是那小小的博客(部落格)?
還未動筆回應你這一篇,老闆不在,還是要花點時間做少少工作。再晚點吧,再晚點,應該會有時候把它打出來。
I know la farah... Hee.. I knew it was you.. but i don't want to guess it too quickly... Yes, I still kept all the letters that farah wrote me !! So do yours Frank!! I knew you were a good writer since then =) That has never changed!!!
but farah's letter holds 3/4 of the bag where letters kept. Now you know how much she used to write ... Plus she doesn't just write to us... she wrote to pretty much all the friends we met per day!!!
One day, we should have a 'letters' theme reunion.. hee.. we can bring all the letters we've had kept and show it to each other.. hee.. that will be cool.. I wonder how i was like back 16? But Yeah.. Farah... i need to blame you for my bad academic scores in grade 10.. coz most of my time were occupied by writing letters to you.. hee... =p
