傳統 & 傳統智慧

題目首先讓我想到的並非甚麼大道理,反而是媽媽的一句「買樓要買東南樓」。

記得小時候家住九龍灣,每到下午時份(特別是盛夏)房間總是一片悶熱,媽媽說當然是因為老家向西北吧。因此,後來搬家時爸媽說無論如何也要買東南樓--即使算起來多費幾萬,樓層矮一點,甚至沒有無敵大海景也沒所謂,結果嘛,小弟那個東南新房間成了冬暖夏涼之地。

直至前年因為工作而搬家,樓房也是爸媽的選擇:房子不大,依然是低層(立刻想起去年年初一凌晨阿姐在我家樓下唱新年歌讓我睡不安穩的故事),面向樓景,沒有遠眺汀九橋或青衣或馬灣的無敵大海景。可是,卻是爸媽多年來所鍾愛的東南樓,每當夏季也是涼風送爽的。

只是嘛,每當假期時打算多睡一會時,從東方升起的清早太陽也會讓我的奸計無法得逞……

I should say, when my mum first told me about the importance of choosing flats with “southeast direction” I even thought that it’s an old tradition. However I just cannot find this “old sayings” while searching on web, and I realized that perhaps it’s only my mum’s interpretion, or from the housing agency?

BTW, if I really want to have a harbour view in Hong Kong with “southeast direction”, perhaps I need to move to Hong Kong Island instead.

有關兩周一聚,可見加燦或【兩周一聚】。

  1. No kidding. I just need to look at my west-facing neighbors who have a lot more snow and ice problems to deal with.

    Thanks for writing.

  2. 呢個傳統並不是只係你阿媽講喎,
    我家人也是這麼說的,
    可見這真的是中國人的傳統也說不定!!!

  3. 加燦:老實說,要買東南樓不算大道理,而且也要看住客其實會否介意吧!(可能你的鄰居很喜歡雪地?)

    Elaine: 其實我也曾在各大地產看到「東南勝景」之類的詞彙,而且多數單位的售價也會較高吧!所以應該是種傳統的說法吧!
