新年永遠忙過開工，累不堪言。小時候年三十晚，家裏廚房非常熱鬧，外婆是順德人，平時早午晚每餐都必定做到個個舐舐嘴。我這嘴刁，就是給我的順德外婆由細「培育」而成。 平日已這樣，農曆新年更加不用說，整晚做通宵，所有賀年食品全部都是自家製作，年糕、蘿蔔糕、芋頭糕、馬蹄糕、紅豆糕、煎堆、角仔、炸芋絲、豆沙角……都是外婆親手做。我自細由外婆湊大，小時候非常黏她，她在廚房開通宵時，我會捱眼瞓陪她。故此，農曆年對我來說，由小至大都是一個非常累的假期。但那時候因為有「好嘢食」，可以補償和抵消那個「累」。後來外婆在我未夠十歲時忽然離世，自此，新年就只有一個「累」字。 小時候，我感到農曆年最「累」的是甚麼呢？就是要背台詞般向人講祝賀說話。小時要講「恭喜發財」、「財源廣進」、「橫財就手」這類說話，總感到甚為牽強，心想：是否個個都一式一樣想發財？甚至好奇，生活在世上，有足夠的財富去過得好，當然個個都需要，但為何只有華人文化會這樣explicit地開口互相祝大家快啲發達？認真有趣。小時候要一輪嘴向長輩祝福他們早日發財發達的賀年說話，對我來說，是件很累的事。年紀稍長，我認為祝人身體健康、順心順意比較有意思。 看這些賀年祝福語，反映出我們都把焦點放在「有」之上，好像人生要「有」很多，才叫美好和美滿。現在活了幾十年，會發現「無」才是人生最大的祝福——無病無痛、無憂無慮、無掛無礙、無仇無怨、無畏無懼、無風無浪、無驚無險，人生裏若可以無這些，才是千金橫財也難買。 我們凡人雖然未必能做到無欲無求，但若能懂得減去那些「有」惑，感恩自己的人生裏「無」的祝福，活得必清爽自在。先在新的一年開始，恭祝大家無病無痛、無憂無慮！ 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link

王菲睽違七年再現央視春晚，唱出《世界贈予我的》，旋律其實沒有太大起伏，若這首歌落在其他女歌手演繹，要不過火、要不沉悶，我很主觀地認為，只有王菲才唱得出那種空靈通透。 歌詞其實非常有意思，我尤其喜歡這幾句：「世界贈予我蟲鳴，也贈予我雷霆；贈我彎彎一枚月，也贈予我晚星；贈我一場病，又慢慢痊癒搖風鈴；贈我一場空，又漸漸填滿真感情；世界贈予我擁有，也贈予我回敬；贈我小小一扇窗，也贈予我屋頂；贈我一個名，又漸漸長大的年齡；贈我一首詩，又悄悄讀得很安靜。」要對人生有點沉澱，才能悟出這一種「透」。 當日，王菲穿了一襲簡約的白裙，相信只有她才會在農曆新年日子（夠膽）選擇一身素白現身春晚。白裙是她鍾愛了三十年的Titi Kwan設計，紅色大耳環是丹麥品牌Monies，頭髮all back紮在後面，簡約而清爽，大家近年看得多大紅大綠大花大閃，她這樣的新春look出場，產生了一種反差的效果，灑脫亮麗；氣氛突然從煩囂變成寧靜，令人想靜靜地看她站在台上淡定地慢慢唱出她的一字一句。 但非常「amusing」的一件事發生在表演後——王菲表演完畢，內地網購平台瞬即有商家售賣她演出時的紅色大耳環（當然是A貨），以「王菲春晚同款蝦片耳環」為題，價錢由十幾元到幾十元人民幣不等。我看了禁不住失笑，好端端Monies設計，卻變成了山寨「蝦片」耳環，誰會訂購呢？但竟然有不少人搶購，相信不久將來，會在街上看到不少「蝦片」搖搖晃晃。 但其實，王菲之所以王菲，就是她有個人很獨特的風格，從不跟風，所以有些人想模仿王菲品味，永遠模仿不到，因為要「模仿」，成件事根本就不「王菲」了。時尚這東西，第一個穿戴的，是「品味」和「風格」，但第二個跟着模仿的，就真的只能淪為「蝦片」了，而且行出來還要個個都知道是山寨A貨，肉酸死。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
