English Translation
Winnie Hsin loves to stay at home. If she is free, she stays at home reading, net surfing, listening to music, doing exercises, watching DVD or playing the piano. Her life is so simple that she even can stay for a week without going out.
Simplicity, cleanness and
spacious are the characteristics of Winnie’s home. At the entrance, there
is a black and white enlarged photo. ‘I asked the stylist Benny for the
film to re-prin it,’ said Winnie happily. The photo was shot during
filming the MV ‘Love is Risky’ in Hong Kong. The stylist took it when she
was putting make up by other stylist Kin-Kwok Cheng. You can see a relaxed
Winnie and the signatures of the three on it.
‘I bought my house because
of luck.’ Winnie used to live with elder brother’s family. One day, before
she went out and dined with family members, she received an ad from the
house in the letter box. ‘At that time, my classmates and friends have
bought their houses already. As the house was not far away, I went to have
a look.’ After scanning the house in not more than ten minutes, Winnie paid the
deposit. The house had under renovation for four years. ‘One day I came to
see my house again and I sat alone on the floor, suddenly burst into
tears. I have my own house eventually.’ The small side table for the
television in the living room was made by a kind of wood by a skillful
carpenter. You can’t find one nail in it. Before having that, Winnie took
much effort for searching. Later a director introduced a carpenter, she
directly went to him and ordered one.
In her bedroom, there is a piano she used to play. Sometimes she plays when she feels boring, worried, or listened to a good song from a movie. The notes from the piano let her feel the deeper meanings of the movie. Apart from the piano, she also has many books like about pets and magazines, say, Readers’ Digest. Winnie used to read before bed-time.
From a charity function last year, she selected two ceramic angels from eight. Everyone with different facial expression. ‘After screening, I felt touched. My friends said it’s karma to get the suitable angle.’ The two she selected with one likes her mother and one likes herself. ‘This angel looks calm but I know what she thinks exactly.’ She confirms that this one is she and puts it in her bedroom. Another angel with double chins is her mother, and Winnie puts her in the living room to look after the house. If she’s depressed, she turns on the light of angel, ‘it’s amazing. It can make me understand something.’
Model Making One of Winnie’s interests is making model house! There are six model houses in her ‘real’ house. ‘The materials are imported from Germany. They all European-styled. One of them is a church and each costs 2000 (in Taiwan dollars)’ Winnie used to make handicrafts. One day she just popped into a shop and caught by the model houses in the display. After making one, she can’t help making and making. ‘At that time, my mom and dad kept reminding me: Don’t make your eyes bad.’
‘It’s fun to make model house. I can arrange electricity and water in it.’ It’s surprising when she traveled in England and Germany, as many of the buildings were ‘done’ by her once. She hoped to establish a community with roads, shops, houses, churches etc, ‘but I becomes busier and busier, and that shop is closed.' Her dream still waiting to come true.

辛曉琪超戀家，沒有通告的日子，她會待在家裡看書、上網、聽音樂、做運動、看DVD或是彈彈鋼琴。私底下，她的生活很簡單，甚至可以守在家中一個星期不出門。
她家給人的感覺很簡潔、很寬敞。踏進玄關處，迎接訪客的是一張辛曉琪神色自若的黑白照，不像沙龍照，也不像宣傳照，她帶著欣喜的神情說：「我特別跟髮型師Benny要了底片加洗放大的。」這是當年她飛到香港拍《每個愛情都危險》MV時，Benny趁她不注意的情況下拍的，照片中造型師鄭健國正在為她上妝，上面還留下三個人的簽名。
「我買這棟房子真的是『矇』到的。」辛曉琪說，她一直和哥哥一家人同住，一個星期天的中午與家人準備出外吃飯時，在信箱內看到這棟大樓預售屋的廣告，「那時候，我的同學與朋友都買了房子，反正預售屋不遠，我就提議順道去看看。」結果房子看了不到十分鐘，辛曉琪就付了訂金。房子蓋了四年才交屋，升格為「有殼蝸牛」的她，新屋裝潢得差不多，只等家具到位時，「有一天我又來看房子，一個人坐在地板上，心裡突然一陣酸，眼淚就流下來，因為我終於擁有『真正』自己一手打造的家。」她特別提及客廳放電視的茶几櫃。之前，她跑了很多家具店，都沒找到適合的，友人介紹大陸製品，她又擔心不夠堅固，就在她傷透腦筋時，導演鄧安寧介紹了一位國寶級木雕大師，她馬上飆車趕到中壢，「這是大師用梢楠木，純手工雕刻製作的實木櫃子，整個櫃子沒有一根釘子。」
從小學琴，進入歌壇前擔任鋼琴老師的她，特別把陪伴她一起成長的鋼琴放在臥房，心情煩悶時，她會藉著彈琴撫平情緒；看電影聽到好聽的歌時，她更是迫不及待去摸琴，如看完電影《戰地琴人》後，琴鍵中跳躍出來的音符，讓她更深刻地感受到音樂蘊藏在電影中的血與肉；除了鋼琴之外，她的臥房還藏了不少書與雜誌，其中《讀者文摘》、寵物和法醫等類的書籍，更是她臨睡前的床頭書，伴著她擁有無數好夜。
辛曉琪的家充滿了驚奇。去年的一場義賣活動中，現場共有八個陶瓷「天使」讓她挑，每一個天使臉上的表情都不一樣，「看完第一輪時，我就全身起雞皮疙瘩，友人說，有緣的人才會挑到喜歡的天使。」結果她挑了兩個天使，一個像她媽媽，一個像她。
「這個天使外表看起來很文靜，但我清楚地感覺到她心底要的是什麼。」辛曉琪很確定這個天使就是自己；後來又看到一個側面有雙下巴的天使，「跟我媽的側面一模一樣。」她把「媽媽天使」放在客廳，照顧整個家，長得像自己的天使則放在房間，每當她碰到解不開的心結時，就會點亮天使的燈，「很奇妙的是，我就會想通很多道理。」
辛曉琪愛家、更愛自己動手「打造」房子！在她家中，擺了六棟她用削刀、剪刀、黏膠，一點一滴黏製成的模型屋，她說：「這些模型原料是德國進口的，六棟都是歐洲風味的房子，其中還有一棟是教堂，每棟造價都要兩千多元。」
辛曉琪原本就喜歡做手工藝品，有一次，她無意間逛進一家叫「小人國」的店，目光立刻被店裡陳設的模型屋吸引住，「每一棟模型屋都是按實物比例縮小。」她從開始「做」第一棟後，從此欲罷不能，「那時，爸媽看到我日以繼夜地做房子，就一直念：小心把眼睛做瞎了。」
「做房子真的很有意思，還可以接水電。」她說，第一次她與友人一同前往英國、德國等地旅遊時，只能用「一路驚喜」形容她的心情，沿路的房子造型，她都「做」過。曾前往「袖珍博物館」參觀的她，曾夢想能做出一個模型屋社區，社區裡有馬路、有商店、有住家、有教堂等，「一方面是因為工作越來越忙，另一方面是這家店也找不到了。」她的夢想才喊「卡」。 |
