新發現

昨天在回家的圖中，發現一個很有趣的店。在那之前先賣個官子。

saw a rather interesting shop on my way back home, but i shall not reveal it now..

下班後，想去一間新開的腳車店看看，當我到的時候，我被那一排啇店最右間的店名吸引去了。它寫著Mr & Mrs Smith: the couple store.

i was on my way to a new bike shop around the corner to have a look, and i was attracted to the name of the store located at the extreme right of that row of shops: Mr & Mrs Smith: the couple store.

起初我以為是間賣高擋家具的家具店，因為它前面的廣告欄裡的家具很特別。圖案是幾個看似沙發的家具，但靠背又那麼低，不象是放有在客庭的；又像是讓人躺側面的，不過若真的給一個人躺下去，又不自然。很是疑惑。

on first glance, i suppose it is a high end furniture shop, as the couches in the banner are rather unique. the back is so low, doesn't look suitable to be in the living room; and the shape is unsuitable to lie on it sideways..

當我走前看個究盡時，我才恍然大悟。它寫著：positioning furniture range. man.woman.love matters.（多款位置家具。男。女。重要的是愛。）

only upon closing inspection, do i realise it's purpose. the captions wrote: positioning furniture range. man.woman.love matters.

這是一間成人性愛家具店！還是頭一遭看到這一類的家具店。而廣當欄所介紹的，就是用在性愛時的一個“工具”。它讓你（女生）的身體舒服地躺著，抱持正確又方便姿式，又可以以情況調整高度。

so, it is an adult furniture shop! what are in the ad banner are couches used during coital activities, they help you settle down comfortably, as well as getting into a correct and a more accessible position. and you can adjust the height of the back support as one sees fit. my first encounter of such unique shop, i must say.

我心中在想：隨著新嘉坡的國際化和岡絡的普級化，新嘉坡人的視野也越來越廣，思想也越來越開放。從以前只買成人用品的專買店，要進去前還要看左顧右，速戰速決，怕讓熟人踫著，到現在的成人家具店，你也得花一些時間好好地了解後才能買下它，不然就會變成一具讓人發問題的擺設品了。

singaporeans' minds are more open and sight wider with the globalisation of singapore and the influx of internet. in the past, say 10 years ago, it was only the sex shops selling sex paraphernalia, and one had to hurry in and out before bumping into someone familiar; and now, an adult furniture shop, where you actually need time to uderstand how it works before investing in one, lest it becomes a white elephant for inquisitive friends or relatives to ask about..

真的是每一天都是新發現，讓平淡的生活添加了一些色彩。但是話說回來，到最後最重要的還是發現自己，其實多往自己內觀，你就會發現以前你所沒觀察到的。這也是新發現，那也是要花時間去用心的。

everyday, indeed, is a new discovery, adding some shades of colour into our somewhat mundane lives.. but in the end, it is ourselves we need discovering. if you really take time and look into yourselves, you can discovery something more about yourselves which was previously not stumbled upon.. that, is also a discovery, a more noble and fruitful one..
