小時候，遇到那塑膠玩具，總會想把他拼東拼西，拆掉又再拼過。三十年後，那種手癮仍然存在，仿佛像見到牆上的洞會想探頭去窺探，探手指去挖一下去探究。那種內心的好奇，像是年紀上的平行軌道，重覆又重覆地出現。拼著拼著去尋找那溫暖的感動，是恐龍嗎？是怪虫嗎？是蝴蝶嗎？在不同的視角去找那似層相識的感覺，可以疊得有多高呢？可以疊得有多傾斜呢？總有種慾望想去反轉地心吸力的規則。向左看，向右看，大不同，都有趣。

 

那兒時的玩具沒有改變過，改變了的是我們而已。

來到檳城這個地方，就像是回憶中那片塑膠片的印像一樣，熟稔的味道卻有有點不一樣。那兒時的回憶，沉澱後又再重現了。

 

It was a toy we all had fun with at childhood. We stacked it to become a dinasours, an unknowing insect, or a butterfly. We split it and redo it all at once. Every once in a while, we repeated doing this with great fun. We didnt remember what it had become, but it always can become something tall, or something wild.

 

The toy hadn't changed after thirty years, we aged and we changed. Its a taste of familiarity with a taste of newness, springing from the bottom of our mind. Thats how I feel like visiting Penang.
