(星島日報 報道)杜麗莎、吳雨霏 （Kary）、泳兒 等歌手前晚錄影《勁歌金曲 》，杜麗莎分別與Kary及泳兒合唱，且大讚二人表現好。對於傅穎 （Theresa）早前於《勁歌》失準走音，身為對方唱歌老師的杜麗莎表示覺得Theresa表現OK。問會否叫Theresa多練歌？杜麗莎即說：「她有時間先得口架！」言語間似乎暗指Theresa沒甚時間練歌。不過她亦力撐愛徒道：「其實她可以選擇不唱現場，但她站上台唱已經很叻女，她又不是犯罪，為何搞到好像很大件事。」　　Kary坦言與杜麗莎合唱感壓力，但就大讚對方很好人，並糾正其唱歌技巧。談到Theresa近日被指因走音一事崩潰，Kary指雜誌針對某次表現對Theresa不公平，並謂可能對方因近日壓力大，故影響其演出。

I think this is so very ridiculous, to be a 'singer', the BASIC rule is you can 'sing', and to be a singer in the show biz, you must be able to 'stand on the stage' and sing. I think that's the most BASIC requirement that you need. I suppose Teresa Carpio was being sacarstic(!?) to said that .

如果她本人都那麼懼怕唱現場，那我認為他乾脆別再做歌手了，因為她的錄音室版本也不見得比這現場走音版好。以前 Twins 的亞嬌唱現場我已覺得她走音走爆咪，很有呃飯食之嫌。但這女孩吃了C 簡直令我覺得俾虐待。我覺得說 "可以不唱現場" or "站上台唱已經很叻女" 是十分反智的一句 comment。

如果你說她不是歌手亦知自己唱得差，但因為做慈善或甚麼的要刻服自己五音不全的心理障礙站在台上，那你可以話 "站上台唱已經很叻女"。

而她，打正旗號說自己是歌手，要出唱片，要有歌迷，但 "知自己唱現場會走音'"，又 "怕站在台上唱歌" ，而我作為觀眾 (or 聽眾)，我要去接受她這解釋去 "包容" 她，那我覺得未免太本末倒置。

From my seat in the office

As you can see this is the view from my seat in the office. i'm actually sitting at the last seat of my row, but then there's a corridor behind me so there are always loads of people walking behind me which is really annoying!!!

And at the very front there's my boss' boss' room and that's my only window within my sight, but you see the blinds are always down so I can't really tell the weather!!

Hated this kind of feeling :(

我的生活 (weekdays 篇)

Friends were encouraging me to update my blog more often, but most of the time I don't really know what I want to write. 想得到話題的話，又好像很激進份子似的。

在想有甚麼話題好寫的時候，不其然想到自己究竟平日做些甚麼，有甚麼值得寫下。以下有一個我日常生活的 summary:-

Weekdays
1. 8:00 起床，但通常din來din去到 8:20 才肯落床。
2. 刷牙洗面換衫化妝 8:55 出門口
3. 乘 MTR 聽著 ipod，看著免費報紙 (是很悶的都市日報，不過我挺喜歡星期四下班時派的 metropop)
- 早上的地鐵通常都比較靜，可能未睡醒吧。車廂內大都再看免費報紙 or 打機 ，要不就 'hup'眼訓。
- 一到九龍搪站就會變成另一個世界，10萬人擁入車廂，很多操著不同 dialect 的人再高談闊論。好彩我有iPod
4. 9:35 回到公司。對! 我永遠都是遲 5 分鐘，提早不了。因為早5分鐘回到公司往往不是早5分鐘出門就可以做得到的。
5. 9:35 - 12:30 ，工作，看 email，工作。
- 當中工作包括以下各項目:-
a. 私人項目 - (pps payment, email, fb, blog reading, irc, msn … etc… )
b. 公務
6. 12:30 - 13:30，食 lunch… 通常時很難食的茶餐廳食品。不過勝在每餐都只 3x元，不太 'la利'
7. 13:30 - 18:00，繼續進行早上的 a & b 活動
8. 放工後 : - 70% will go to TST (for gym/food/drinks)
- 15% will go to CWB (for gym/food/drinks)
- 15% will go home (food & sleep)
9. 在家的時間: - 70% 上網 (msn/twitter/read newspaper/blogging/watch youtube/fb/Photoshop/reading)
- 10% 執屋
- 10% 看一本本的書 (因為上網包括看 ebook)
- 10% 呆滯
10. 12:00 midnight ，睡覺

我的 weekday 人生就是這麼刻板與無聊。

至於 weekend ，其實都幾繽紛，下回分解

Doubt

am quite certain about my religious belief and I am quite certain about the relationship between God and I.. Lately I'd not been to the church for sunday services for a few months, and that's due to a few reasons.

Somehow I am having doubt towards lots of things recently, why in between God and I , there are so many obstacles, like internal conflicts of churches, or different political views of christians.
Why .. there are so many HUMAN THOUGHTS in between? Isn't my faith should just be purely between God and I?

God loves us, the the 'us' includes everybody. The Bible did explicitly stated that He dislike homosexual activities, but the ground is, even though he dislike this behaviour, He still loves every human being. We shouldn't condemn anyone, yet we should show them our love.
Once a human mind overrules the God's world, it's starting to be dangerous. It's hard to distinguish being 'devoted' or being a Pharisee. And was the way that churches intepret the Bible really the true message that's been sent from God?

I'm confused!! But then again ... my faith in Him does remain the same. I have no doubt in God, but i do have doubt on human!!!

Dear God, pls enlighten us!!

Today at work …

Well.. firstly as my Boss asked me to do some analysis for him last week, I spent the whole morning maneuvering my spreadsheets and stuffs, and bascially got my work done right before lunch.

Then my boss was still busy as usual so I couldn't get hold of him to present my work, so I started with some readings. As yesterday I went to watch a stage play about Galileo, and also because last Friday was Darwin's 200th birthday, my Monday became VERY SCIENTIFIC (or philosophical!!??)

In fact after watching yesterday's play, my heart was gathered with lots of different thoughts, I'm not sure how I can express myself, cos diff thoughts just flying above my head. Anyway… so .. yes after lunch, I started serving the wiki and had read through (sort of) the bio of Galileo, then onto Aristotle. It wasn't easy to read these people's bio, cos would encountered lots of OLD WORDS or latins.. or whatever … I guessed I had read through 90% of the stuffs on wiki of the Galileo page, but I was only up to like 50% of Aristotle, I guess it's just not easy to 'get to know' a person who was born 2300 years ago.. -_-

Then I was chatting with a colleague and discussing my findings, and he gave me a very interesting (sacarstic) comment -- He was surprised that I had actually through the whole thing, and he said 'people became more civilised as they get richer', I said 'nah.. people get more unciviised when they get richer. Money is the root of all evil, it's corruptive'.

Then he said 'Nope… i'm at the stage of satisfying basic needs - surviving haha .. sex and hunger'
ah .. man .. Maslow Hierarchy of needs, you want me to have that as my next reading for the next 2 hrs? -_-

伽利略傳 - 春天實驗劇團

伽利略傳是我再香港看得第五套話劇，自問不是藝術細胞濃厚的人，所以一般來說我都不會看太難消化的話劇。 這次伽利略傳屬於春天實驗劇團劇目，劇團名叫實驗劇團，所以這套劇有點試驗性質, 卻沒有我想像中的悶 hahaa 至少在沒有足夠精神下我都沒有睡著!!! 不過，確實沒有之前幾套容易入口。之前幾個劇目是 "新傾城之戀"，“黎花夢”，“德齡與慈禧" ，全都有大明星（包括話劇界的大明星)，大製作， 有好聽的旋律 （o ..except the one which was 最最最難入口的是幾年前一套叫 "我自在江湖" 看完了都不知究竟想表達甚麼)。

至於伽利略傳，吸引我來看的當然不是因為伽利略 (別以為這伽利略是破案的那個神探伽利略），是因為廖啟智先生。 全套戲由智叔由頭帶到尾，其他的演員當然都被他蓋過了。 劇本是一個英文翻譯劇，是講伽利略的傳記，主要講到科學與當年羅馬教廷的抗爭，腐敗教廷對科學發現影嚮權利而恐懼，繼而威逼利誘科學家放棄對真理的追求。

當然另一方面就是說到人性是脆弱，明知道自己看到真理，但當生命受到威脅時，人類很容易都會選擇活下去而不去當英雄!! 再這，劇末的時候都說到如果當時他堅持他真理，他會被火刑然後就不能再做研究，他就沒時間去證實他的理論 ... 有一句對白我很喜歡，當伽利略傳放棄他的理論，向教廷懺悔後，他的學生十分失望說 "一個文明國家沒有英雄是一個悲哀", 但伽利略卻說 "一個文明新時代根本就不需要有英雄"。

無論如何伽利略是一個偉大的科學家， 真理終於在1979年的到平反!!
