2月25日成報：港藝人眼中最捧的奧斯卡影帝影后 王菀之：「《黑天鵝》好評如潮，睇預告片已經覺得好好睇，非常之吸引，所以我會揀這部戲獲得最佳電影、女主角妮坦莉寶雯就係最佳女主角，而最佳男主角就係占士法蘭高。」
很遺憾，我最喜歡的歌手不認同我最喜歡的演員。
But everyone knows King Colin will get the Oscar on Sun!! Yay!

Prof. Neil Smith
Today Prof. Neil Smith was in our Phonology class. Not as a guest lecturer. I suspect he was peer-reviwing. Anyway.
He walked in before Andrew came. I think no one really recognised him. He sat just a few feet away from me. When he walked in, I thought, he couldn't be a student! Then after a while, it hit me that he might be Neil Smith. I've never met him before but I know he is an emeritus Prof. here. But he looked so much younger in real life than in his pic on UCL website. Anyway, I turned. He smiled and we said hello.
It wasn't until Andrew needs an example that he introduced Neil Smith to us. That, was quite incredible.
I first read his book and watched his documentary video last year at HKU when we discussed the topic savant. It was then I got to know he was teaching at UCL. Last term, we spent one week on his article in class and this term spent another. He is such a distinguished scholar who has done so much pioneer work. I never imagined I would meet him.
Not that I talked to him. Just knowing him being in class felt quite amazing.
Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath
Yes I went to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath during reading week.
Stratford-upon-Avon
Thank you Vincent for suggestingthis place because going to Shakespeare's hometown had never come across my mind. What a shame it would be if I never visited the hometown of arguably the greatest playwright ever born to this world while I am only 2 hrs away by train?
Too bad we couldn't catch a performance of the famous Royal Shakespeare Company. The season hasn't started...
And how I wish I have read more Shakespeare!!
his birthplace.
his grave.

Bath
What a Georgian city! I won't say it's captivating. It's rather spectacular though. I like the old Georgian style but not the brownish yellow stones. Everyone goes there to see the roman bath spa. I have to say one thing, d泉水好飲過KV 0個d！！！Anyway, it tasted like rust.
Also visited the Jane Austen centre. It was quite small. Too bad didn't have 'tea with Mr. Darcy' coz I wanna save my appetite for the dinner at Sally Lunn. Anyway, I enjoyed the small museum.
The trip ended with a dinner at Sally Lunn, the oldest house in Bath according to records. Tried the Bath bun and the traditional British dinner. The special thing about it was that the steak was served on a piece of bread. Food was served this way before plates were invented. Thank you my dearest cousin for suggesting this.

真係去到邊都聽到廣東話......

...
After getting boring and mundane comments for my first 2 CRAs, I finally managed to scrape a teeny tiny 'good' at my 3rd attempt. My 4th was a flop. I must admit I didn't make enough effort in doing the assignment because I was so distracted by the livestream of the SAG awards at the time. Just that from the comment I could see he thought I had not read the material. Worse still, I can see that my 5th is no better.
I wish I had a sensible reason for not performing up to standard, but I don't.
Bummer!

Perfect Friday
Reading Week前最後一個school day，好難相信0甘快就到！Anyway，perfect day.
Interface
Ad話0係reading week搞back-up class! 估0吾到連master都有補課！估0吾到會有prof肯補課！草皮老師真係好好人！
即興安排當日活動。去左China Town剪頭髮。好很貴之餘勁求其！真係E幾年0黎最貴但係又最差ge一次。
之後去0左National Portrait Gallery. 好多portraits，有貝登堡，Charlotte Bonte,Charles Darwin, King George V, Judi Dench, Kate Winslet...
去左附近一間coffee shop試咖啡。一邊飲cappuccino一邊睇Evening Standard. Colin Firth 0係頭版！最surprising ge 係無端端聽到famous wet shirt scene ge background music! 我好懷疑自己有幻聽。Anyway, it was still pretty amazing. 講番coffee，都係Salisbury 0個杯最好飲！

Priscilla － Qeen of the Desert
一套相對新的musical，故事講述澳洲三個男扮女的performer穿州過省的故事。 改編自1994年同名電影，當年有Hugo Weaving和Guy Pearce擔任主角，據說觀眾很受落，所以把故事搬上舞台。
當晚坐位不好，有三份一的舞台都被看不見，也有一些笑位搞不懂，但看三個男人極誇張的戲服扮女人載歌載舞真的是歡樂無窮。最初猶豫要不要花＄20 pounds看Priscilla，我承認在V&A看過programme，發現演Adam/Felicia的Oliver Thornton「好靚仔」之後興趣大增。
三位主角分別代表老中青。最大的Ralph/Bernadette十足十男扮女，因為他根本是變性人，最後遇上Bob，有情人終成眷屬；中生代的Tick/Mitzi有老婆仔女，一直對兒子隱瞞自己的職業，最後得兒子接納，大團圓結局；青靚白淨的Adam/Felicia是名符其實的bitch，最後上演one－man show，得償所願。
West－End演員真的很厲害，要有演技之餘更要能歌擅舞。特別是要男演員要穿紅色T－back，紅唇烈艷，做出各種嫵媚動作，就連唱歌說話的聲線都要改變，但變回男兒身時又要很man。

喜氣洋洋的年初二
Ad的Interface課。I asked him a q! But that was because I didn't understand sth. Not a sophisticated q at all...
派大白兔糖，很開心！
Ad今天穿的綠色sweater好像一塊草皮...... Rising Star穿了Rah!兔仔的hoodie，真的和Ad很配！ XD
沒氣氛的大年初一
竟然很少同學穿紅衣，很少人講恭喜發財，反而年三十大家不停講Happy New Year.
John的Phono課，yay! Shanti今天沒有來，所以back-up也是他上。
我終於問左keoi3問題laa3！I was so thrilled!
"=.=
Keoi3話that's way outside what we're doing in class but if that's what you wanna do, I'd be happy to point you to the references. 我相信我無時間睇，但係prof offer到，無理由話0吾洗ga ma！同埋我堅係想揾keoi3做dissertation ge super wor!
Afternoon和Vincent去了Tower Bridge。來了四個月，還是第一趟到Tower bridge. 藍天很美。
去了Covent Garden tea. 很悠閒的。很喜歡嘆咖啡吃蛋糕。
不一樣的團年飯
年三十
第一年在外過新年，我們‘廣東話同學會’組織了MA Ling團年飯，最特別的是老外多過華人，他們也好像比我們更興奮。我們的同學真的很nice！可惜餐廳老闆不很nice.
飯後當然不少得去pub‘飲番兩杯’。瘋了！

難得糊塗
早晨回校，剛出地鐵站，過馬路時被一中年女子欄著。看她神色慌張，就停下來看她發生甚麼事。她說她住在Kent，今天被husband遺棄在London，身上一無分文，希望我能給她＄買票回家找她母親。坦白說，她問的不是小數目，我也不知道她是否在騙財。她說可以留她的braclet作抵押，又留電話給我，我說不必了。那一刻覺得就算你騙我我生活也會很好過；你沒騙我我便幫了一個人，而我也不想考究你有沒有騙我。就當日行一善，反正來London後都沒有捐過錢。
晚飯時又討論‘難得糊塗’。有些事不知不想會開心一點。以我的年紀來說，思想太成熟，活在香港很辛苦。
Presentation
There's always room for improvement. Classmates were so encouraging. They'd say 'well done', 'it was good', etc. They are always very nice. And Richard always say 'the standard is very high'. He says this so often that I'm not gonna take his comment seriously. XD
Sun night watched SAG awards until 3am... Anyway, Colin won!! And the cast for The King's Speech won the top prize - the outstanding cast award!
