Amanda S.用甜品延續對爸爸的愛 爸別cute

父親節是天下子女感恩爸爸的大節日,但近年對名模Amanda Strang(Amanda S.)來說,這天總是讓她悲喜交集,因為其父於2016年大腸癌復發後,決絕地選擇到瑞士尋求安樂死。身為獨女的Amanda,當時要一力承擔父親這個突如其來的決定,並要簽署所有文件,心情極度沉重悲痛。

但孝順的她為尊重父親意願,一直抑壓情緒,並保持平靜心境,陪伴77歲的父親一起走過人生最後的時光。這天訪問,Amanda忍着淚水說:「到瑞士之前,我推着坐在輪椅上的爸爸,遊遍巴黎大小街巷去看風景,我們又到泰國旅遊,之後還搞了一個生前告別party。但到了最後的告別時刻,我要在表格上簽名,當時真的哭了。」

當回想成長路上,與父親的生活點滴,她又迅速重現笑顏,並訴說有着無數的快樂回憶,「小時候無論在台灣,還是印度生活,他總會守在我身邊,我們每朝一齊游水、揸車去旅行探險,每到生日仲會為我製造驚喜。由細到大,我同爸爸關係都好密切,他在我心目中係一個superman,and he always so cute。」

幸福摩天輪

Amanda S.在法國出世,爸爸是法國人,母親是台灣人。她三歲隨父母搬到台灣,到十歲又舉家搬到印度,到十五歲才到外國升學。小時候的她就常常跟在爸爸身邊,父女感情要好,「爸爸做皮革生意,廠房都設在中國和印度,所以我小時候都長時間在台灣和印度居住過。因為經常搬遷,又要轉校,朋友仔唔多,同父母關係就更密切。記得在台灣的家裏有一個泳池,我每天食完早餐,就和爸爸一起跳進泳池裏,我又會爬上他的背部,然後數1、2、3,就齊齊閉氣潛落水向下游,好似海豚BB黐着媽媽一樣,好sweet。

「搬到印度就更開心,因為屋企花園好大,每到周末,爸爸就會打電話,叫人帶來一些大象、駱駝和馬匹在花園上跑,而我細細個就識得騎馬。12歲生日那年,爸爸為我搞了一個難忘的生日派對,印度天氣好熱,他就在花園搭建帳篷,然後運來多部冷氣,大人在裏面食嘢,小朋友在戶外玩,最記得仲有個小型ferris wheel(摩天輪),但唔係用摩打驅動,我哋十個小朋友坐上去,大人要在中間的軸心跑,令ferris wheel轉動,爸爸總是為我製造驚喜。」

每到假日,父親又會帶她四圍去,「爸爸是個冒險家,喜歡刺激的活動,每到長假期,我們會揸車四圍去,在印度試過揸車去山脈露營,運了成車裝備去營地,然後喺河川周邊搭營。喺法國同意大利,亦揸車去玩過一些road trip,這些和爸爸的快樂回憶,我都不會忘記。」

重法式禮儀

在Amanda心目中,父親比母親讓她過得更自由自在,「因為媽媽是台灣人,言行舉止都很中式,有時同媽媽傾偈,我都要諗些好一點的字句,但同爸爸就可以乜都傾,如每日返學見到嘅人同事,就算跟同學仔嗌交,都可以跟他分享。但爸爸對我的品行管教就很嚴格,例如一定唔可以講大話,食飯時一定要坐得好直,手唔可以放上枱,食飯時亦唔可以說話,不能讓人見到嘴入面有食物,甚至食物上枱,刀同叉點樣拎都有要求。」

Amanda的父親會從食早餐開始,培養她傳統的法式餐桌禮儀,「爸爸對法國的傳統很講究,記得有次他專登book了一間餐廳的fine dining,全晚就睇住我怎樣做。出門前由我着甚麼衫、去到怎樣坐、點甚麼菜、再睇埋我怎樣食,就像一個test,由內到外,都要我做到一個好法式的lady。雖然他經常會講愛我,但見我某些事做到一個目標,他卻唔會讚我,只會說『可以做好啲!再好啲!』不停push我去更進一步。 」

每逢假日,兩父女又會在電視房的沙發上看電影,「因為他不喜歡我看太多電視,所以全屋只有一間房擺放電視機,一到周日我就陪他看其最喜歡的Audrey Hepburn﹙柯德莉夏萍﹚舊電影,我每次想起這些,都忍不住眼濕濕。」

最後的歲月

深厚的父女情都由日積月累的生活點滴組成,其後Amanda於2001年來港發展,並以香港為家,期間結過婚又離了婚,到2016年,得悉父親大腸癌復發,她馬上停工,返回法國陪伴父親治病,「因為我覺得他那時最需要有人在身邊陪伴,於是我就回到法國。那段時間我天天為他煮飯,又會坐在花園陪他看書、傾偈,彷彿又回到小時候的時光。」

經過接近2年努力,病魔總算擊退,Amanda原以為可鬆一口氣,但2017年底,在她和父親每年最期待的聖誕節前,卻接獲父親告之有意到瑞士尋求安樂死,「醫生都說爸爸的病醫好了,不過他喜歡冒險,又鍾意游水,但坐在輪椅上,這些都不能再做了,他覺得這樣的生活再冇意義,所以才有了這樣的決定。當時我真的很生氣,因為用了兩年時間陪他治好了病,卻得來這個結果,我不斷問他,why?why?why?但他很固執,即使我和姑姑輪流勸阻,他仍堅持,最後我選擇尊重。那段時間很艱難,但又不能向他發脾氣,後尾我想了又想,既然有些事情不在自己的控制範圍,就學識去接受。那幾個月,我就陪他在巴黎四圍玩,睇展覽,去不同餐廳品嘗美食,又去泰國旅遊,之後仲同親友一齊搞咗個farewell party,先再去瑞士。」

因為是獨女,父親的事都由她打點,還要在多份文件上簽名,「那刻真的很難,我哭了!有段時間心情起伏好大,有時好傷心,有時又好憤怒,有時又沒有了感覺。記得最後一晚,我睡在他的床上陪伴着,握住佢手講love him。」

甜品藏愛語

父親離開多年,如今Amanda已重新振作,2020年她更返回香港,重新投入工作,既拍旅遊節目,又拍電影,更重新開拓甜品巿場。其創立的全新品牌Flakes & Layers,曾以pop up形式在ifc開設期間限定店,近日她又在海港城及時代廣場開設pop up專櫃售賣她研發的「Ooonut」。她稱做甜品藏着她與父親的一份情感,「他每次旅行,見到有精美的糖果或蛋糕都會買,他又特別喜歡朱古力。自8歲起,每到父親節,我都會為做他最喜歡的朱古力蛋糕,我做甜品,就是對他最直接的愛語。」

現在她每天午飯和放工時間,都會在pop up店坐鎮,早上又到工場監工,有時更會親自送貨,「我要睇實啲品質,仲會親自試味,每日都要食好多唔同口味嘅冬甩、曲奇。好搞笑㗎,好多女士嚟問我,你咁食唔怕肥咩?我話我日日兩間pop up跑來跑去,燃燒好多卡路里,連做facial時間都冇,食極都唔肥。未來日子我會繼續拍節目,做甜品生意,每日都感恩有唔同得着,爸爸教我做人要大方,唔可以小氣,所以有問題我盡量唔會去拗撬,多啲欣賞。做生意同爸爸教我做人一樣,都要做得更好!」

近日在時代廣場City Super增設專櫃,身為名模的她更親自拍攝宣傳海報。
