以前住在離溫尼伯(Winnipeg)北800公里的一個埠仔弗林弗倫(Flin Flon)的時候,日間在鑛產公司(mining company)的鋅精煉廠(zinc refinery)和銅熔爐廠copper smelter開工,夏天放了工後行返職員宿舍(staff house),煩勞廚房阿嬸替我包好一份晚膳,跳上那半生銹但机件還可的Dodge牌van仔,風馳電掣駕車往郊區,不夠十五分鐘,就遠離那空氣污濁丶塵埃滿佈的重工業地帶,將工作煩惱放諸腦後,投歸回大自然的懷抱,優悠自在地在湖中划獨木舟,垂餌釣那肥美的彩虹鱒魚(rainbow trout）。有收獲而又興之所至的時候,我会將鮮魚用湖水洗淨,然後在湖边生火,享受美味的BBQ fish。冬天工餘時間,我会到弗林弗倫滑雪会的ski lodge找朋友去越野滑雪(cross-country skiing),在那沼澤叢林的深処,我不知留下了多少足跡和腳印。在那短短的數年間,我由一個在鋼根石屎森林裏長大的城巿人,慢慢轉变為一個愛好大自然美的埠仔居民,無論是春夏秋冬,我都學習了適应当地的季節丶氣候丶人事丶和生存條件,在沒有夜總会丶酒巴丶派对丶24小時超級購物商場的環境中,向內找尋我自己的生活情趣,不倚靠外人或需要外物來作鼓勵或興奮自己。沒有錯,香港車水馬龍的血液是永遠会在我腦海中運行,但在這生命旅途中,弗林弗倫的埠仔生涯也在腦中記憶留下了一個很深的烙印。如果埠仔生涯原是夢,那麼在弗林弗倫那數年就是一個好夢。

這是熔煉廠825呎高的煙囪,內裏有升降机和爬梯,我上上落落都不下百次多,很明顯,我是不畏高的。Here are some of my favourite lines to people who wanted to climb the Main Stack with me: (1) It's not the fall that kills, it's the sudden stop!! (2) He/she who overestimates himself/herself will find the ground coming up too fast (Royal Robin). (3) Any fall from higher than 30 feet, the end result will be the same.)

有人說,我們大家都是在生命电影上自編丶自導丶自演!!
悶与不悶,真是因人而異的。
微豆 Haricot,
往事只能回味 - is something that apply to me only when it is something that happened not due to other's action. I dislike the feeling of depressed/obstructed/upset etc - they just never learn from their previous mistakes, NEVER and causing others suffered!!! I accepted the fact but I rejected as 往事只能回味 for such incidents...perhaps I should blog about it to let go my disappointments toward the recent incidents.
都市中的生活閒人,人生有幾年如是,都型架! :)
啤酒花™_J: Without knowing fully the nature of your "incidents", I would not venture into making comments about the mistakes made by those who continue to cause sufferings of other people. Yes, 往事只能回味 implies one has resigned to accepting the irresponsible acts of others and the incidents in general. If that's not the case, it's probably healthier to express one's feeling, be it in the form of an anonymous blog article, talking to friends, or other means, rather than holding your disappointments and other emotions inside. It's just a suggestion.
風子: 哈哈,都無所謂有型無型哪,放開懷抱,適应新環境,在旱地珍惜露水罷!!
