My Cup of Tea

俗語not my cup of tea乃一種文明的拒絕: 不是你不好,是不對我味. 品味本就因人而異,我最怕進電梯或搭飛機碰見擦著濃濃香水古龍水的男男女女,彷彿打老遠搖臀媚眼香吻齊飛come on baby… 動漫北斗神拳迷的我,忍不住腦中浮現自己突昇高為巨人,左一拳,右一腳,將男男女女一一剷開的幻象,所以味道不可小歔 平常還算冷靜的我,嗅覺受到了壓迫,會在精神上予以反擊.

記不起,自己什麼時候愛上了喝茶? 是愛上了那醇香,那回甘的滋味,還是純粹耽戀悠然的片刻? 我既喜歡獨飲,也喜歡和好友茶敘,另一半更是茶迷,連家裡的小朋友最早學會的,就是端著cup&saucer有模有樣的喝茶… 我們家隨時都可上演 The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party,不過兔子要換成貓,沒有一連串的謎語就是了.
