(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

2009-03-27T15:51:00.002+08:00

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)

2009-03-26T13:47:00.001+08:00

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

2009-02-20T16:04:00.001+08:00

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 …

2009-02-16T16:16:00.001+08:00

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

2009-02-15T20:10:00.000+08:00

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!!

Olympics

2008-04-11T15:33:00.000+08:00

Haven't written anything for a while, there are actually A LOT that I wanted to say, but just too tired or lazy to write about.Let me start with the Olympics ...

Olympics is a supposed to be a pure sports event and now (for the past many years as well) had been a commercial event which people will use this opportunity to make big money. I am not against it, just that don't just focus on making big money is good enough. I heard that usually the host country themselves NEVER make money from the Olympics (except the Sydney Olympics), but other people doing olympic related products or merchandises, travel agents, airlines, hotels etc… these are making good money.

Anyway.. this year..it comes to politics. I hate to see this happening on my motherland. On 1 side I know China has huge problem about humanity issues, the other side I hate the other countries use this reason to elaborate and to make a big fuss about it then use this 'opportunity' to step on China. These are just politic tools. So here comes my question again, I thought we are doing a sports event, do we really need to have all these protests to target China? Can the Olympic fire just have a safe trip to it's destination and have this game running? This is just simply 趁火打劫. I ain't saying China is right, never, just that I don't think it should be tagged with the Olympics.

Now I hate watching news, everyday are different various protests about Tibet (well that's another story). I hate to see foreign media using fake pictures claimed to be real and make up stories. I hate people not really seeing the whole story, kept saying China use violence to attack the tibetians. We all can see people were messing around Tibet and the cops just trying to stop this.

And you know what, because Tibet is a sensitive topic, and because of Dala, and because of the 'reputation' of China, all the blame should go to the China government, no matter who started the fight. And western countries do LOVE to see this. China economy has been growing too fast and too well (again, not talking about the people who livein poverty in villages. In fact those foreign country politicans won't care less), so of course it's just a GREAT opportunity to harm the Chinese and to make it slow down. Who will want to miss this chance?

Sunday is a Working Day!

2008-03-02T10:59:00.000+08:00

今天被迫回到公司開會，因為部門有很urgent的事務要處理，而老細想我幫手參與。

會議時間應該是十時開始，十時二十分客人才到達。一眾高層們立刻迎接，由於星期日沒有阿姐返工，於是乎全場最小薯仔的我要負責斟茶遞水。我發覺，原來我不懂沖咖啡!!! XDDD

Anyway...不知怎的大大老細們想先和客人開一個會，談點 "宏觀"的，然後才到我們談 executional level 的東西，所以我和我老細都避趕了出來。老細口中唸唸有詞，主要說到那女高層好麻煩，又要我替她沖咖啡 (他好像比我還要生氣)，噢是的，客人只想喝暖水，那八婆卻要咖啡!!! 不過最後我都只給了她一杯中國茶，因為我沖的咖啡不是很成功!!!! :P

So... 回到坐位，唔知做乜... 等一陣再開會，不過不知要等多久所以決定寫低這段心路歷程。

多謝各位收看!!

我最不喜歡的類型

2008-02-28T16:07:00.000+08:00

我見很女博客都會說香港男人有甚麼不好，然後男士們又反擊說港女又怎樣怎樣。我覺得地域性歧視是很不要得，難度外國回來的/外地的就甚麼都好?!? 所以我覺得不應這麼說，要說不如就讓我試談概括來說最不起歡男人的哪十項事件?

亦可說是擁有以下這些特點的男士我都一定不會愛上他…

(排名不分先後)
1. 手指尾留長手甲
2. 說話滔滔不絕，有如黃河泛濫，一發不好收拾
3. 只懂說投資，開口埋口投資，然後告訴你他多有心得，你應該怎樣向他學習或他一意孤行的要你聽他意見
4. 對時事(股票新聞除外)/文化藝術一點都不認識
5. 中文比我還要差(如他是香港長大的話)
6. 你跟他發牢騷(牢騷不關於他)時，他會用一至兩小時認真解釋你為什麼不應這樣，又如他是你他會怎樣 (但其實你原本只想爆一兩句粗就講完這題目)，然後你悶到發呆…
7. 你說甚麼話題他都搭咀，甚麼都懂(自以為)，甚麼都認為自己好權威(亦是自以為)
8. 斤斤計較，甚麼都計到盡，慌死蝕抵，但又要裝上等人
9. 瘦猛猛(不是問題)，但又不運動，只懂上網/打機
10. 肌肉發達，頭腦簡單，太大隻好難頂… (這個純粹個人意見)

P.S. 請記住，這只說出我不喜歡的類型，別人可不需要認同，純粹個人意見! 咁你呢?? 你又甚麼"不喜歡的top ten" ? XDDD

Hiromi - Fusion Jazz (this is not a review hahaa)

2008-02-26T13:51:00.002+08:00

Went to Hiromi's concert of the HK Art Festival. The concert was on fusion jazz, this is actually my first time going to a fusion jazz concert. I had only been to jazz bars for standard jazz performance and of course those standard jazz are more easily digested, just like the ones that we always listened to in coffee shops.

As I'm so new to fusion electronic jazz, my comments are 'I did not feel boring' and 'it's very interesting' and 'I think I'll be interested to know more about these' and 'it's good to be so carefree and to express the emotions thoroughly like Hiromi on the stage'. I would say it's a pleasant concert, but I don't know anything 'technical' to talk about this concert!! But I do have a funny side story…..

In the middle of the show I felt busting, wanted to go to the loo, I told my friend, 'shxt, I think I gotta go to the loo', my friend went, 'it's the song that makes you wanna go to the loo or you just wanted to go?'I was kinda paused for a sec, 'what ?! .. ' I was thinking why there would be such a question?!?

Then after the concert we had a after-performance talk at a bar and we had some discussion about what we think towards the show. And then I asked him why on earth he asked me such a weird question about 'wanting to go to the loo'. He told me for ppl who do really know jazz, and if they can't really digest the jazz, these song will easily made ppl wanting to go to toilet, because the song sometimes made you feel like it runs very fast and u dunno how fast it's going to be running, and when is it gonna end.

I was totally amazed about this 'theory', but he's really serious about that. Then I was thinking, yeah, maybe the song seems like going really fast (the beat, the drum, the piano) and in your psychological mind it made you want catch up, and excited and eventually made you want to pee. Similar to the case that many people feel like they wanted to go for a pee before exams or before performance, because they feel nervous or sometimes too excited. I suppose these behavour are having some common psychological theory behind. ^.^

Friend told me that if he listens to other harder-to-digest jazz , made him wanted to pee tooand he said last time he went together with 2 other friends, they are also new to jazz, and 1 of the guy told him he actually wanted to go for a POO.I'm sorry it's not a review of the Hiromi concert, it's something pretty stupid that wanna share with others only haha!!! XDDDDD

"Le Petit Prince" - Musical

2008-01-23T12:20:00.001+08:00

Watched "The Little Prince" musical at the cultural centre last Friday. It was really good, the songs, the singing, the whole thing is very angelic.

2 of the songs that made me drop my tears are 'Beside Her' and 'Earth'. Little Prince sang it with the angelic voice, expressing his love towards the rose, very pure, very innocent. When the aviator sang the song 'Earth', I was moved by the atmosphere that he had created, can really feel that the universe, the earth, our human beings, are all such incredible creations and how amazing that God that created all these.

And of course, at the end when the Little Prince has flown away, my tears dropped again, though the song tells that we shall meet again, and we still have eternity afterwards.

I never thought that the Little Prince is a book for children, it's so inspiring and heartaching that I would think it's definitely for adults. It gives us the opportunity to rethink our lives, have we been missing out anything? have we been spending time and effort on things that are not suppose to be the core in our lives? what's the actual use of get 53min free by taking the stop thirsty drug? have we put our focus wrongly?

Shall we just live our lives like the little prince, to be pure & innocent, to be loyal to your heart, to love & to be loved? Blindly chasing for 'better' things will just lead us to a dead end, as there will always be 'better'.

It's the time that you had spend on your rose that makes your rose so important ….

Counting Down to Christmas

2007-11-27T13:46:00.000+08:00

Last night I had eventually put up my Christmas Tree, the same Tree that I'd been using for the past few years.

I really enjoy the process of putting up the tree and hanging up all these ornaments and decorations for my home. Could really feel the 'love' and the 'cold' (yes imaginary one), though HK is still around 20C each day, but heard that it's gonna get colder (or cooler) in the next 2 days. Guess that we could really start to feel the Winter and Christmas in HK.

I had previously said that Autumn is a season for hugging, and for me, Winter is definitely a season for LOVE. It's a season to share the love, not just to the 'lovers' but to friends & families around us. It's a season of JOY!!

This Christmas I'm going to share my joy & love through our music, sharing our passion, love, feelings & dream. Hope we can really make it!!

HAPPY WINTER & WISH EVERYONE HAS A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Amazing Sandy Lam Concert -- so Sandy!!!

2007-11-12T15:00:00.000+08:00

*picture was taken by Kelly's friend

"Come as you are, be what you are" is the theme of Sandy's concert this time. And this is indeed a concert that really puts 'MUSIC' to the centre of everything.

"Star Hall" is the venue that Sandy is holding her concert, the feeling was like going to the new convention centre at WanChai, but as the concert starts, I found that the music effect is much better than the other halls.

The stage set up is pretty simple and with a big white screen at the back , giving me a feeling of getting into an art centre or designer gallery. The visual of this concert is PERFECT, and combines with her angelic perfect voice and the great performance of the band and background vocal. This is just superb!!

This is a very very different concert compare to the other HK singers, which I would say is 'uncomparable'. Sandy did not say a single word other than 'Thank You' and throughout the whole concert she had only changed her outfit ONCE. Not a single dancer was hired but with her own movement in every single song I could just feel she had the total control of the show and she's just so sexy, charming and charismatic!

The concert had splitted into 2 halves, first half is more with jazz & blues; whereas the 2nd half will be more electronics like the fashion show music. Very cosmopolitan & metropolitan, which really coincides with Sandy's image since the very beginning. As everybody knows fans are crazy about her fast songs, and enjoyed her dancing a lot. The only dance beat song she sang that night was '逃離鋼筋森林', we just went all crazy and stood up to dance and sing with her. The atmoshpere was just so perfect.

The selection of songs was really 'advanturous' as she claimed herself to be. 80% of the songs were never been sung in any previous concerts. And for the ones that had appeared in other previous concerts, she had given EVEYR SINGLE ONE of those songs with new arrangement and new feeling. '走在大街的女子' was backed up with 6 different tracks of her own voices, which gives me goose bump and the new arrangment of '哭' had given me a big surprised and brand new feeling, and with the song '天衣無縫' I had got myself watery eyes. The last song that she sang was the opening song of her last album 'S/L', that was a song dedicated to her old friend Richard Lam Chun Keung. Her voice was so angelic with just 'LA~~~' throughout the song and it was indeed SOOOO touching!

The ONLY thing that I didn't think was necessary was the piano playing part, but I think as long as that's Sandy's own idea and she wanted to it, then I'm happy. In fact.. if the theme is 'TO BE WHAT YOU ARE', then I'm sure playing the piano is definitely her own willingness to do so.

Once again, the band was excellent, the drum/the base/2 grand pianos/cello/ violin/pipa/erhu/chinese flute/purcussion and the 3 background vocals were really with international standard. Excellent musicians, probably as my friend said, Patrick Lui was already the worse one in the whole band.

One thing that really amazed me was that there was a blonde girl in the background vocal, I was wondering how she could do the background vocal in cantonese?!? haha interesting!!

By reading the credits from on the 2nd last song, I found that the the visual effects, stage design, stage production, all these stuffs were recruited from Japan with Japanese professionals. Music director of course to be by Anthony Lun, but the band leader was Mac Chew whom had been doing Sandy's album for many years and I had already loved his composition and arrangment. '感覺完美', '夜太黑' these 2 album were having Mac Chew highly involved and I really loved these 2 albums.

This concert is not for people who are having the same set of mind to see Andy Lau concert, no mainstream songs at all, no erotic dances (though I think her body movement on those jazzy/blues song were so sexy), no karaoke songs, no fashion show, no special guests. But it's something very inspiring and unforgetable.

I would say it's a 10/10 concert and it's really amazing and I'm so glad that Sandy had brought HK something so different and she really could be called DIVA.

All I wanna say is.. Sandy 你好o野.. 你夠型!

Nodame Cantabile - Music for the Young Hearts

2007-11-10T13:02:00.003+08:00

昨晚在伊館欣賞了由香港管弦樂團演奏的節目”交響。情人夢的音樂世界”。聽說因為是徇眾要求才有這音樂會，所以正統的音樂廳都訂不了而要轉戰伊館。

音樂會整體來說都不錯，至少比我預期中好。只是後面有個嘈喧巴閉的女孩子一直不停說話，一直講一直講直到樂團奏起第一粒音符才肯閉嘴，真想打她一巴掌!

不過其實我覺得音響跟人的質素都比我預期好!至少真的沒有電話響聲也沒有人在談話 (至少我聽不到!) 本來我以為觀眾可能都是”趁虛”的嘈喧巴閉，不過又不是這樣，所以比想像好!!

曲目方面當然是Beethoven Symphony No.7 的第一章加第四章去做開首與結尾，不過沒有轉大提琴的場面 :P　不過他們想轉都轉不到，台上太擠迫了，指揮的Edo De Waart每次都要側側身才能走到指揮台上!

中間有位年輕的鋼琴手宋思衡(要到法國wiki才找到他)負責演奏Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 1st movement　和 Rhapsody in Blue。情感就真的足夠了，不過不是聽不出有錯音:P說真的，曲目也真太難，不易能彈得完美。宋先生非常感情豐富，有點怕他坐的椅子會塌下!! XD

漂亮的演藝學院學生林啟妍為小提琴手王亮伴奏 Beethoven Violin Sonata No.5 Spring 1st movement。都不錯啦! hhahaha

好可惜他們沒有演奏Mozart首oboe concerto。好喜歡黑木這首曲目呢....! :P

不過最搞笑就時奏完了貝七的第四章時，真的有人在掌聲中喊到"BRAVO"!!! kekeke

Eason Concert

2007-11-01T14:07:00.000+08:00

這幾個月將會是充滿著不同的文化藝術節目欣賞，繼10月28日看過 "梨花夢"後，在10月30日晚去了欣賞 "陳奕迅演唱會。因為朋友關係有機會坐在台前第三行欣賞Eason的演出。

已不是第一次看他的演唱會，但卻每一次都聽得我血脈沸騰。

一開始唱出 "白玫瑰" 把觀眾大進那簡單亦亮麗高貴的舞台中，第三首唱快歌時卻head set咪高峰不爭氣沒有聲音，於是唯有用手拿著，但都沒有影響到他的演出。之後唱了幾首上一張碟的歌曲，有富士山下，有裙下之臣。快歌亦唱了多首收錄在最新唱片的歌曲，很是熱鬧。

熟悉的快歌還有 "衝口而出" 和 "第五個現代化"，Eason的聲音真的好聽到不行。要悲慘的/要安靜的/要歇斯底里的/要浮誇的/要甜蜜的，他都可以一一大給我們。基本上我相信他根本就是一個精神分裂的人。

唱的大部份都是最新兩隻碟的歌曲，所以當他唱出 "我不好愛" 和 "黃金時代" 時我真的興奮到不得了。

整晚就只唱了 "淘汰" 一首國語歌，有點不夠喉!!! :P

不知是否因為頭幾行都是唱片公司的職員家屬居多，一點都不似為了欣賞Eason而來的，整晚 "靜英英"，一點都不投入! 下次可能後幾行坐近Eason自己的家屬多些好能會好一點! hehe

這晚看不到他的妻女，卻見到亞三哥和黃日華。

P.S. 不知從何時開始所有演唱會怎樣都要弄些大膽的情慾舞蹈，舞蹈藝員通通成為showgirl，COME ON ，我看陳奕迅吧了，我不認為有或沒有這些環節會影響到門票銷售... XDDD

梨花夢

2007-11-01T13:22:00.000+08:00

http://www.hkrep.com/tc_chi/season/2007-season3-1.html

10月28日買了票去看梨花夢，本以為得自己一個，怎知原來並不孤單。

今次梨花夢的演出是為了恭賀香港話劇團30週年，亦有說因為是總監毛俊輝先生退休前最後一擊，所以很多人捧場，加了一場又一場。恰巧我去的就是尾場，份外吸引。

故事改編自"老殘遊記"，上半部節奏比較明快輕鬆，很多惹人發笑的地方。後半部冷卻下來，但卻不沉悶，只是風格變了，多了要人思考的地方。給予了大家去回想一下自己的人生意義的空間。不過老僧說的佛偈就不是太明白!!

早知道飾演老殘的是謝君豪，但之前卻沒有留意飾演賈大少奶的是劉雅麗。兩位香港話劇團出身的演員回歸劇團，為劇團演出30週年話劇真的沒有令人失望。謝君豪已久久沒有踏足舞台，拍電影拍電視劇卻始終不給在台上耀眼/吸引。劉雅麗亦演少了，她也應該是屬於舞台的。情況就如兩年前 "新傾城之戀"的蘇玉華，在舞台上美的要命，非常吸引。

希望再有多點機會看到他們在台上演出，我一定不會錯過。(不過還是錯過了八月時蘇玉華有份演出的 "暗戀桃花園")

最後不能不提的是劇中的黑妞/白妞，歌唱得很好，舞亦跳得非常漂亮。劇中的歌曲部份功勞不少，因為就是這些歌曲做著"旁述"的工作。非常欣賞此劇的作曲人倫永亮和填詞人岑偉宗，令此劇更有趣味!

P.S. 對於謝君豪最後幾分鐘的獨腳戲，我略嫌他說得不夠清晰，有點 'lur埋一舊'，我覺得這部份可以更好。

I love this poster a lot, thought i don't really know how kmb is promoting their idea of being environmentally friendly here.

Seeing a lovable giraff having a blush on its face n trying to blow you a big kiss on such a sunny day really makes my day super happy n energetic :-D

Sh*t Water

2007-06-21T15:33:00.001+08:00

This picture was taken 2 weeks ago when i changed my filter. The filter was originally as white as the a4 paper n after working for 1 year to filter my water it became like this. N the most scary thing is stinks n the rotten iron dirt was found inside the filter when i opened it up.

Thank God that i'd filtered my water otherwise i'll be drinking them into my body n will harm my kidney n liver.

Gosh! Walked passed a pharmacy at lane kwai fong tonight with a few colleagues, i was wondering why on earth there's a pharmacy at such a place, and man ... This is classic!

From banana to cucumber! :-o

Star Cafe

2007-05-05T14:11:00.001+08:00

This is a very traditional hk style cafe locating at Tsim Sha Tsui. I'm quite a frequent customer there, n by the time you walked into the basement of that building you'll feel that it's like you'd gone back in time. It's not easy to find such kind of old tradition hk style cafe these days anymore remember do give it a try before it disappears :).

Grey Sky

2007-04-27T17:45:00.000+08:00

It's the sky of Guang Zhou. The sky has been covering with dirt n dust. N i'm just wondering do kids living there ever realise that the sky is suppose to be in blue color?

The Truth is Out There!

2007-03-11T21:57:00.000+08:00

This is a sad topic ...

I had always got this kind of 'history validation complex', whenever the Jap said something to deny their distasteful act in the WWII I would always become very irritated. And this year happened to be the 70th memorial of "Nanjing Massacre", and it ignites the discussion of this 慰安婦 topic again.

Some time ago they were trying to rewrite the history text book, i nearly gone mad. 2-3 weeks ago the Prime Minister of Japan said in public that 'there's no evidence on the reality of 慰安婦, my heart went very uneasy as I was asking God ... 'how can we change this world? it's not for me to do, but i really hate to see people trying to deceive the others like that.' God answered by having an old soldier redressing this misleading speech last night. Telling us the truth of what had happened back then and how he felt bad about their conduct.

I was then thinking ... o Thank God ... finally somebody is saying something from their heart, but when are those other people who denied the truth would convert ?!?

Today.. from the news... God once again answered my question. The Prime Minister of Japan had once again admited the existance of 慰安婦 and had once again apologised to this group of ladies according to their first admission of the terrible act towards 慰安婦 in 1993.

The Truth is Out There!!!!!

Marrying with Google

2007-03-05T16:22:00.000+08:00

Just realised Blogger is now under Google now. Well.. obviously Google is building up its empire (well always been building).

I guess i've abandoned my blogspot for quite a while as most of you should know my other more often updated one is my yahoo blog. That one is more easily to deal with.

Anyway ... always love to try out google's new gadgets, calendar/spreadsheets and now the new merge with blogger. I am still trying out the functions, not quite sure how much difference after powering by google. O well... let you know when i got time to play around.

very busy month this March, got 2 subjects to work on and i got projects to follow at work. Too many things to handle and sometimes there are people just not doing what are suppose to do. And there are always things that not proceeding as you want them to be. I guess i do have difficulties to deal with jerks .... And to be always 120% alert is quite tiring, but in order to avoid being 'slip' by the jerks.. i will have to pay so much attentino to everything to keep things in shape!

ai .... give me energy!

快樂的雨天

快樂的雨天
下班後乘地車過海。走出車站，天下雨，我沒有帶雨傘，只好站等。身旁是個胖嘟嘟的西人，一面無奈。那個西人先和我點頭，說：「你看雨還要下多久呢？」我扁了扁嘴說不知道，並反問他：「你是遊客嗎？」「對，」他自嘲道：「從英國來的，應該很習慣這種天氣了。可是旅遊遇上壞天氣，真掃興。」等了十分鐘，雨沒有停止的意思，我的耐性也耗盡了。我向他道別，然後把公事包頂在頭上，急步走到對面的小攤檔，向小販買雨傘，我一共買了兩把，再返回地車站出口。「這是送給你的。」我遞了一把雨傘給那個英國遊客。他顯得很意外，接開懷地笑。我們再道別。天仍下雨，褲管都濕了，但我感到很輕鬆。人活在世上，想快樂並不困難，先令旁人快樂，你便自自然然也快樂。

女王的教室

2006-11-22T01:13:00.000+08:00

Today .. my first time to teach in public. Although it's only a 學店 type of 'school', it's somewhat a new experience for me.

Well...7 students in total who had SIGNED the attendance list.

1 came in at 7:11
2 came in at 7:15
these 3 left at 9:00
2 came in at 7:45, left at 7:55 (or 8:00 whatever )
2 came in at 8:30, left at 9:30

The story goes like this. I started teaching at 7:15, amough those 3 ppl, 2 .. i didn't know what they are doing there.. they said they were being '呃左' to attend the class, so they didn't really have the mood to listen. Another guy seems okay though, at least he was listening. But for sure their standard is SOOOO LOW that I tried so hard to translate everything into Chinese!!!
The good thing is, they did sit through the whole thing and tried to stay awake. I did appreciate that geh....

2 ah suk came in late and stayed for 10-15 mins, didnt know what da hell they are doing. Why pay the money and not listening ?!?! Very rude, actually it's good that they left early. Don't annoy me!

A couple came in at 8:30 so that was already 2/3 of the material that i should teach with already. So actually i finished today's lecture at 9, and i rerun the first 2/3 of the class again for the couple. It was okay for me though, cos both of them were paying very much attention on my teaching and did try to drop down lots of notes. Sounds like really good students, and at least they understand more common English. At least i don't have to worry how to translate 'implement' 'material handling' 'deregulation' these kind of words into CHINESE... bloody hell !!
I actually forgot how to translate 'forecast' into Chinese ... well got it eventually tho.

Ok.. so that's it for my first day of teaching.

When you were young ...

2006-10-20T14:50:00.000+08:00

How many of you had done this when you wres young? To finish off a chocolate n wrap the wrapping back to the original shape to disguise as a never been eaten chocolate? Ha ha. This is one of those stupid things that i'd done in class last sunday :-P

有神嗎？

霍金來香港演講，許多人想問大師一個問題：到底有沒有神？讀數學的人，一般都不相信有神。但是數學如果讀到出凡入聖的境界，卻不敢不相信有神。因為無限大和無窮小，是人類思維能力的極限，到了那個最遠最遠的邊境：宇宙有多大，天地怎樣起源，追究下去，必定是：那外面是什麼？羅湖外是深圳，廣東外是湖南，滿洲里外是西伯利亞，空間的知識很狹小，加上時間的巨大增值，都令人墮入一個永的謎團。

進化論是否定有神的「證據」？但進化論的重大缺陷，是只找到人類進化過程兩頭的信證，中間的一大段，在考古學上是空白，周口店五十萬年前的頭蓋骨，是人猿的一點點遺跡，但那以後呢？直到今日人類的一副骷髏，就像一頭是廣州，另一頭是北京，即使兩端都確定了，但當中的韶關、衡陽、長沙、鄭州，通通不見了，進化論只有兩端的總站，中間沒有一個路線圖。

進化論只能解釋動物之間的骨骼排比，但進化論無法解釋生物許多器官的由來。例如人的眼睛：角膜、水晶體、視網膜，數不清的視覺神經，連接到大腦，人的眼睛是一部精密無匹的機械，只能是鬼斧神工一瞬間的設計（ Design ），而不可能由矇矓迷糊的一隻原始粗糙的舊眼睛經過一百萬年的轉化。因此眼球不止是一項設計，更是一件奇蹟。是誰給生物賦予那麼多神奇的工器？例如蒼蠅和蜻蜓的複眼、人的大腦。這些精美的零件，不可能像人猿的頭蓋骨「證明」的那樣，一步步「進化」而來，只能是電光火石之間的一閃靈感的偉大創造。

「上帝說有光，就有光」，這是科學家在理性思維的盡頭不得不面對的終極。科學的基礎是「每事問」，但一直追問下去，畢竟到了「不要再問」、「不必再問」的底線。天文學家和神學家其實殊途同歸，就像席斯汀堂圓頂米高安哲羅的《阿當之創造》；阿當蒙塵，仰躺在下，吃力地指向他的手臂，上帝盤空，俯看在上，伸出慈悲的手來接觸阿當的指尖 — — 這冥冥的一點，就是科學和神學會師的地方。

何必問科學家有沒有神？人的一生短促，人的智慧有限，我們最終必須堅信天外有神，才有勇氣戰勝世上的魔。信有神，不是反科學，因為信仰不是迷信，因為世道的邪惡必須征服，因為我們必須相信人間有真理。在羅馬，抬頭看看席斯汀的圓頂，在世上，抬頭看看星空，我們伸出手臂指尖，閉上眼睛，我們相信大宇間必有靈光的一觸，為此而熱淚盈眶。

Mobile Phones ...

2006-05-18T15:51:00.000+08:00

Yesterday when i was taking the MTR, there were 7 people directly around me, and ALL OF THEM were doing something with their phones (well including myself as well). So a total of 8 people were just sticking with their phones.

3 of them were sms-ing (me as well), another 3 were talking on the phone, and another one playing games on the phone. I guess we just CANNOT live without our phones now, right??? -_-

I think right now if we don't have our phone with us for 1 day, we'll just feel like losing1 arm. And all these MP3/PDA/PHONE/DC/DV .... We are COMPLETELY under the control of HIGH TECHNOLOGY !~~~~~

And the worse thing is ... hi-tech stuffs are so tempting ... >_<>

Why I am having the male's habit instead of female's ???

思念.... 十年

2006-03-09T22:42:00.000+08:00

思念

不見你越是愛你
是失去你亦念掛你
縱多心酸縱多傷悲
始終一般戀你

可笑我並未放棄
是想再次再抱緊你
也許今你的心已不清楚這痛悲

願你知
此刻的我沒發可拋低從前
但你瀟洒的說出:"總要面對這一天"

沒法子
解釋一切是我永遠也思念
不要讓我跟你又再又再糾纏

在這漆黑中深宵中想念你
無言地默默地靜靜地淚滿地
我苦苦等如像麻木的你
不要讓我不要讓我共你分離

就似影院中苦亂的一幕戲
但願你靠向我再抱擁心裡希冀
當天空再變黑了
我也再不變地
能一再地抱擁這哀怨空氣

仍不禁又再想.... 思海裡的你

========================================

十年前寫的詞，現在回看真的別有一番情懷。年少時甚麼都比較簡單，談談情，唱唱歌日子便過。唯一擔心就只怕考試肥佬。

想不到這麼快就十年了….

感恩的是以前的戰友大部份都仍有聯絡，有好幾個還常常見面。想起以前一起搞音樂會，一起練歌，父母看來有點浪費時間，但對我來說卻是我會銘記一輩子的快樂片段。年少時可能真是要有點輕狂才叫”youth”吧!

十年中最大的轉變就是由學生到出來做事，由澳洲加拿大大到返回香港，由瘦變肥，由肥變更肥。也有由傻小子到做了別人的丈夫妻子。身邊的大多是快樂的故事。

人大了，或許不再天真無邪，但快樂還在，只要懂得珍惜，只要你有愛，只要你懂感覺身邊的愛，成長以後得到的還是可以有很多很多的快樂。至少現在不怕考試不合格!!

十年的日子也帶走了我們的一位戰友… Joe 你在天家好嗎? 仰望著將來，我們一天必能再見，再夾歌好嗎?

Due to the Centennial Celebration of the company that I'm working with, all the stuffs were treated to Disneyland HK for free with 2 more extra free tickets. Probably it's my first time really think the company is doing something good to me!! ;-)

I was sooooo glad that I can have this chance to go this fairy land with my parents. The feeling was like I was going off for a holiday with my parents. It's just such a rare rare chance.

Going off for a holiday with my parents is actually like quite a mission impossible. When was our last family photo?!?! Seems like ancient history... Well.. sometimes did take some photos at dinners with relatives, but it's not the same thing.

We spent some valuable time together, dad taking photos with us, we laughed together, played games together, watched the shows together, seems like I went back to my childhood. Come to think of it.. I'd never been to Disneyland with my parents before, last 2 times were with friends and with cousin.

My colleague helped to take some great photos for 3 of us, finally .. I got some UPDATED family photos, with both of my parents.

Gotta go back to reality afterall at the end, we left the magical world, went back to the city. Had our dinner, and 3 of us just went back to our own home. Found it a bit depressing.

When I went back home, I downloaded all the pictures back to my computer, saw our family photo, I got myself with tears. I was so so so so happy, thank God that he had given me such a chance to make me feel like we were on holidays and I could spent some valuable time with my parents.

Thanks Tigger and Pooh, you both made my parents very happy too!

I love you .. mom and dad!!

Sick leave ......

2006-02-09T11:09:00.000+08:00

Ah... been sick after a long week with classes on the weekend. Actually I haven't been sick for a while!!!!!

While I stayed home ... I was having quite a lot of fun with tidying up my home, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, throwing rubbish away.

I actually have to do it before the Chinese New Year, but apparently I'm just breaking all the rules by cleaned things up on "NIN CHOR 1" as well, which my dad laughed at me that i was totally messing things up by not following any traditional customs hahha

Friends around me are doing 'alright' i suppose ... things could have been better, but really need help from the above!

I'm so excited that after this week, all my classes will be finished, and after March 4 when I hand in my final assignment, my whole master course will be DONE!!! I can finally enjoy life and play play play more ... well.. no ... I will better utlise my time and hopefully can spend more time on my love ones. Wish everybody will be happy!!!!

2006-01-23T15:33:00.000+08:00

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

遇鬼記

「樂民，我好像遇鬼。」上星期晚飯時父親對我說。我追問詳情，原來連續三晚，父親快要入睡時，都看見一個頭戴竹帽的男人。「做夢吧了。」我咬雞腿道。「總不會三晚做同一個夢。」父親反駁。「以前有沒有幹過虧心事？」我認真地問。「大的沒有，」父親老實回答：「小錯當然犯過。」「那麼應該不是鬼魂來尋仇。」我分析：「可能是邪靈。」「甚麼是邪靈？」父親問。「是魔鬼的手下，專門引誘人犯罪。」我說。「怎樣對付？」父親再問。「下次見到『它』時，向『它』要六個號碼。」我提議。「甚麼號碼？」父親不明白。「邪靈引誘你犯罪，」我解釋：「總該先給你一點甜頭呀！一於向『它』要下期六合彩頭獎號碼。」今夜又和父親吃飯，我問可有拿得號碼，父親說邪靈沒有再出現，我好失望。母親嘆一口氣說：「人貪心的時候，連鬼都怕了你們。」

2005 Review

2006-01-18T13:44:00.000+08:00

O.. finally i have time to update my blog.

I know i still owe myself a 2005 review, a new year recap and the report on my previous 2 hectic weeks. So.. are all my friends in good shape?!?!?

2005 .. it really wasn't an easy year. Lots of things happened, had tears... had happiness ...

From all the fortune telling books (yes.. i did read them last year), it said that 2005 was a year for ME !!! I was gonna ROCK in this year and gaining lots and lots! However, now i know these are untrue .. i'm still living in poverty! HAHAHA ;-)

Anyhow, work-wise, it was the worse year ever, I didn't think I had gained much as in knowledge or self-satisfaction. Was feeling kind of wasting time, and was pretty upset about it.

Study-wise, it was okay.. i managed to pass all the subjects that I'd done in 2005, so that wasn't too bad.
Alright.. now to personal life ......

Some people left us ... caused us lots of tears .. sometimes will just question 'WHY', but i think 'WHY' shouldn't be the question that we should ask. This is life, sometimes you just need to live with it. But from all the darkness and hardship, I found my light eventually. Thank God that You had shown me the light, brought me back from darkness. Now my road is so much clearer! If it wasn't so many things happened, I wouldn't have walk back to God. I wouldn't have known that there's really LOVE around the world.

That's why I so wanted to share the love with others.. wanting to help. As I've said many many many times, it's our LUCK when you are still able to help others. "Give is more fortunately than RECEIVE", this is so so so true!!!!!!

So.. spread your love around.. give warmth to the people around you! May peace with all of you and all the best in 2006!!

~^~MERRY CHRISTMAS ~^~

2005-12-27T00:45:00.000+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope everyone had a great great Christmas!

I had a very good one, I'm really grateful for that!

Here I would like to share a little heart warming story that I heard on Christmas Eve. The pastor from my church said that it's so cold in winter that his hands are always freezing cold, but then everytime after the Service, people would like to shake his hand before leaving. And sometimes he didn't feel quite nice to shake their hands because he thought his hands were too cold.

Anyway.. he still shoke his hands with others when people had already extended their palm infront of him. So gradually his hands became warm after shaking with lots of others. Then after a while, people started to tell him, 'Pastor, your hands are so warm!!'.

It's a story telling us that you got warmth from others, then you can share your warmth to warm other people's heart!

I'm so glad that I received the great gift from someone, and now I'm able to pass it on to others. It's the happiest thing that I'd done in this Christmas!!!! :>

So don't be reluctant to share with others! God Bless!

Love you all!! Wish everybody good health and have a great great 2006!!!

Christmas is coming ...

2005-12-20T11:03:00.000+08:00

再見悲哀

2005-11-29T14:53:00.000+08:00

再見悲哀

作曲：Eric Kwok
填詞：林夕
編曲：Eric Kwok/Ted Lo
監製：Eric Kwok

再見悲哀因我不再計較任何結果　甚麼都可以坦蕩未在乎誰是錯　
我兩眼合上失去甚麼　是與非也掠過　別固執到問一切為何　

再見傷感因我不易被淚流留住我　甚麼的境界都愛自自然地渡過　
去到最尾就如與物忘我　回復身心最初　面對心鏡內一片平和　
鳥聲瞬間閃過　(這麼最好不過)

除了心　只有心　可以解心鎖煩惱多　
因我要得多微似砂　輕似煙　怎會有風波有惆悵　
跌入了恆河情路太彎　過就過　當是個經過感動的愛　
當做一次砌磋沿途上遇上甚麼　都欣賞過投入時便快樂一起過

傻也好　痴也好　因你記得多忘記的　比你記的多懷念最好　
我便會　繼續愛惜我花瓣飄過　美在不顧結果
人存活在世就似沙粒飛過誰又曾為了誰褒貶過

這麼最好不過　全是一種經過

Another Stage ....

2005-11-28T16:20:00.000+08:00

Today I received a news from a colleague saying he's getting marry in Jan. It was quite a shock as he's always a little kid in our mind (in his act and personality), and everybody thinks that there must be 'SOMETHING' that's why he's getting marry in such a rush.

I do feel happy for this colleague and I do respect him in the way that he is taking the responsibility.

Another colleague said that 'do you think getting marry and having a family means that you will lose all the fun such as drink/movie/karaoke etc ??'

I think NOT.

Well... Happiness doesn't just come by 'drink/movie/karaoke', having a family and a kid will bring you another sort of happiness. The joy that's going to be brought by the new born is something marvalous. It's another sort of happiness that he's going to have.

And yet, the person must get more mature if he's going to hold a family. But it's in fact a stage that is going to happen sooner or later in a normal life cycle.

It's nothing to be sad or worry about, but something to be cherish for!

My Friend ... Congratulation for the marriage, and thank God for the gift that he's bringing you!

Reason, Season or Lifetime ??

2005-11-17T16:05:00.000+08:00

My friend sent this to me on an email.. and i found it really good. Take a look and try to digest it, it's really a good piece of writing for your heart and soul!!

------------------------------------------

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Whenyou know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a needyou have expressed.They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you withguidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for thereason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your partor at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something tobring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take astand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desirefulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answeredand now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has cometo share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or makeyou laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. Theyusually give you an unbelievable amount of joy Believe it, it is real.But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must buildupon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is toaccept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to usein all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that loveis blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Are you being Tamed?!?

2005-11-10T15:02:00.000+08:00

Below is one of my favorite part from "The Little Prince"

"No," said the little prince. "I am looking for friends. What does that mean-- 'tame'?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. It means to establish ties."

"'To establish ties'?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..."

"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me-- like that-- in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day..."

So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near--

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

"It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you..." "Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince. "Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"Then it has done you no good at all!"

"It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields."

"The Little Prince" Chapter21

Are you being tamed by anyone?!?! I must say everyone of you is unique to me ....

Getting Warm again ..

2005-11-10T14:43:00.000+08:00

Pretty busy lately ... things seemed going well. But the weather is getting hot again ... i rather it's cooler.

I'm afraid we are gonna have a HOT winter again like last year!!!

Today a customer came in and he asked whether it's getting quiet towards the end of the year, i quickly replied, 'yes.. cos X'mas is a season for relaxation'

I guess among all the festivals around the year, Christmas is the one I liked the most, always full of joy and happiness, and it's as well so romantic and harmonic. It's a lovely season not just for couples, but for single individual as well.

Think about friends getting together, singing hymes, sharing a Christmas dinner/party. Only with 'LOVE' inside that can make things perfect.

May everyone has a peacful November and a wonderful Christmas!

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!

November 1 !!

The weather has been changed obviously, I just LOVED the autumn breeze ... Dry weather.. cool wind .. how fantastic ..

So good that October has passed and I can look forward to the Christmas time .... I got a few things to do before I can put up my Christmas Tree

1. Tidying up my home
2. Tidying up my home
3. Tidying up my home ..
4. Put up my puzzles on the wall
5. buy a cabinet to store my overloading clothes ....

Man.. it's in a total mess ... -_- Basically everything is .. ON DA FLOOR !!!

It's kind of a reason why I'm always 'AWAY' from home.. I really need to move my butt to start CLEANING THINGS UP ...

Nothing sentimental today.. as I need to face the reality that, if I don't tidy up my home, then I won't be able to put up my Christmas Tree.. then I don't have time to be sentimental and no time to day dream ...

AH... PLS GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO START GETTING THINGS DONE :>

My friends ... HAPPY NOVEMBER!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

~^^~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~^^~

Christmas Tree ...

Autumn ....

The weather is so nice now, sunny day without sweat .. it's the most ideal weather. Somehow I'm really looking forward to Nov comes, then I can start decorating my Christmas Tree.

I have some sort of special feeling towards Christmas Trees. When I was young, I always fancy a Christmas Tree, but my home was too small to fit in one. So when I got a chance to migrate to Canada, I finally have a huge space for it. I remembered on one of the cosy street in my city, it has lots of different stores selling gifts and decorations, and there was one called 'the Christmas Shop'. This shop sells christmas decorations all through the years. I loved walking around the shop all the time, and I was always attracted by all sorts of ornaments and christmas lightings ...

There was once that I went along with my mom around summer time, I told my mom that 'Let's come again later on in the year and buy all these decoration for our first christmas tree in the family ...' and my mom said 'YES'.
Sadly .. my mom left the city and our family 2 months after ...

so ... eventually ... no Christmas Tree in that Christmas ... And I hated Christmas Trees ....

Few years later, I went back to Hong Kong. Things changed, and I have put down my stubbornness .. I started to enjoy Christmas time again, and even though I can buy myself a Christmas Tree, but I still insisted my mom to find me one. She didn't know why I insisted her to buy me the tree, but I just said I wanted one.

Anyways.. it's a little story between me and my Christmas Tree... Although now the Christmas Tree can no longer be surrounded by my whole family anymore, I still find good time whenever I'm looking at it.
The most important thing is ... I did learn to look at the bright side :)

Smile all my friends ~~~~~~ :>

~^~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~^~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND .....

Sudoku ....

2005-10-19T15:26:00.000+08:00

Been playing Sudoku these days all the time... the world of math is so good. There is always just 1 answer! Either black or white, never have any grey areas.

It makes life so much easier if our world is like this ... or you will say we will have 'no life' if we are just livining the world of math ... too dull???!? What do you think? :)

For me.. sometimes I just don't want to think too much ... having just right or wrong answers will keep me away from lots of TROUBLES!!! haha Not too much hassel ..~

Happy Autumn .... ~^~~*^~

2005-10-18T17:38:00.000+08:00

Today I can finally feel autumn is coming ... When I walked out my home, i can feel the autumn breeze .. so gentle and soft, loved it when i can feel the breeze touching my face.

Always think that Autumn is a melancholic season, it's when all the green leaves turning brown and falling down. Seems like it's reflecting the end of a cycle .. but today when the breeze come, I was thinking maybe it's just myself being melancholic .... Autumn can also be a happy season, as the fine weather suits us to go for hiking, enjoying ourselves with the nature. I just don't have to bound myself with the 'traditional' thinking all the time :>

And in Autumn, i can look forward to winter comes ... Christmas time is always a season for love.
So.. let's work hard in Autumn, and save all the energy for winter.

Wish everybody finds their love ones and share the happiness with each other!

Happy Autmn!!!

My Running Track ...

This is a park close to where I live .. I go there for a jog sometimes ...

It's a very nice park with a big football + baseball field. The environment was really good... very relaxing!! :)

Sometimes it's just nice to breathe some fresh air when you are so stressed out ....

Sitting Room ..

Hopefully my mood will become better after the exam! >.<

Enough for you??

Today I've read a good article from Apple Daily

==========================================

歷史的感覺
2005年10月13日
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
遊覽北京，如果你被故宮的人潮嚇壞，宋慶齡故居該是個療養心神的好地方。
宋慶齡女士是孫中山先生的妻子，一九六三年遷居於這座大宅，直到八一年去世。大宅原是末代皇帝溥儀的出生地，也就是王府。
我在花園漫步，遊人稀疏。雖曾是王府，隨時光的流逝，少了華麗，多了優雅。倚小橋的石欄，閒看秋風中搖曳的垂柳，想到三十年前，宋慶齡女士可能也站在這個地方思念故人，更久以前，溥儀可能在這個地方跑步跌倒。一種歷史的感覺，油然而生。

走進房子，長廊的盡處放了一張康樂棋檯，簡介說宋慶齡女士喜歡和職員打康樂棋。原來國父太太和我的愛好相同。
宋女士的寢室，以香港的標準，是超級巨大，可是那張床，只有四、五呎寬。
任你家財千億，擁有一座皇宮，甚至全世界，當你躺在床上合上眼睛，真正需要的，也不過是數呎。
不禁想：我們日以繼夜努力追求的，是我們需要的嗎？

==========================================

I love the last line, we worked hard to achieve our goals, but don't overdo it.
知足常樂 doesn't mean that you don't have to be agressive. But there are always other things for you to look at beside longing for a materialistic life. Of course money is important, but how much is ENOUGH for us? I would say live 'energetically' instead of 'agressively'. Need to go forward and make progress, but not being ambitious. Work for a fine living standard for you and your family. Enjoy the love around us!

Present ...

2005-10-12T17:14:00.000+08:00

Life is always full of challenges and sometimes with sorrow, but we shouldn't just focus on the temporary sadness, but to work for the future. Live for today and tomorrow.

We don't belong to the past, but the future. Our past gives us lessons that we need to learn from, such that we can live in a better day on the next day.

As per the old saying, "Treasure every moment that you have! Because Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!! ..."

Use our love to make other people happy, to help others. Live your life FULL~ :)

Be happy everybody!!!!

Work work work ...

2005-10-06T10:49:00.000+08:00

The weather is always so good when it's on 'working days'. And always rain or having dark sky when it's on weekend.

I'm so stressed out lately and I really wanna getaway and relax. Maybe just go to somewhere else for a weekend, I just want to leave this chaotic mess for a while and refresh myself. Actually.. I'm quite happy these days, I have found my love, my focus, just that work is not going too well for me. Too much changes for me to handle, or I should say.. I don't want to handle.

I think work had become secondary to me, I just want to enjoy life, but then in order to enjoy a 'decent life', I need to have money to pay the bills, so I gotta work. Not that I have lost all my ambitions, but just the work that I'm doing is not actually what I'm looking for. How many more years can I waste on this? I know you may say I'm 'progressing', but the pace was so slow that I really don't know when I can really CLIMB UP?!? I just found no intention or motivation to work when the job nature is really not what I'm seeking.

Sounds like I'm whinning a lot here. I'm happy with my life other than work, that's why I really wanted to getaway to have a break. When I'm all refreshed, I'm sure I can get myself a fresh start at work, and can gain back my energy and motivation.

May our Lord bless all the ones that I love, wish they all have good health and happiness!

Finding Happiness (2) ...

2005-10-01T17:19:00.000+08:00

After talking about "Tuesdays with Morrie" maybe I should talk about "the Five People you Meet in Heaven". I'll say it's not as touching as "Tuesdays" but it's a nice book too. The main focus of this book is everybody you had met in your life had more or less affected your life no matter you realise it or not. And in this world everybody is linking together. So we must be nice to every passerby in our lives and treasure all the friends around. Sometimes things are not just like as we 'thought', everything could be seen from 2 sides. We should try to look at things from different angles and not just believing on what we 'seen'. Sometimes we are just so easily being blind by our own perceptions, but not seeing the truth ..

So... look at things by our HEART but not by our EYES.

God Bless all the ones that I loved and wish they all have happiness!!

Love ... John Lennon

2005-09-29T11:21:00.000+08:00

Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,
Love is needing to be loved.

Love - John Lennon

Haven't done any actual 'Novel Reading' lately.. the most recent English book that I'd read was 'The Five People you Meet in Heaven', it was by the same author of 'Tuesdays with Morrie'. 'Tuesday' was a really good book that really cost me quite a lot of tears. There are always time that we got overwhelmed by money, power, possessions and fame etc, that we had forgotten the foundamental element of our lives -- LOVE.

Some people criticised that author making big money out of the words given by the passed away professor instead of his own ideas, but I'll say.. what's wrong with sharing with others about the love that we should be realising of?!? Why we have to look at things from the dark side instead if enjoying the love that's around us??

Sometimes I think we are just thinking too much, making things too complicated. Be primitive and naive probably is easiest way to enjoy our lives and feel the happiness.

Growing up not necessarily means that you got to be practical and need to lose your dreams; yet we need to know the cruelty of the realistic world, but not acting as one of those. Then live in the simplest way with love!

Life is short ... treasure every second of your life, live the best out of it. Don't make things too complicated ... we are grown-ups, but we don't need to be worn down by the practical outside world!

Wish happiness will be with all the ones that I love~

您快樂嗎??

2005-09-27T23:57:00.000+08:00

您有沒有想過是甚麼讓你得到快樂? 是金錢，是地位，還是愛?

我深信只有愛才可給予人最大的快樂。能夠有幾會幫到其他人，是您的福氣。當您發覺您還有能力去幫助人，您便應該盡量去做。珍惜身邊的人，愛每一個您關心的人，別要等到您失去了才後悔。

很多時我們都會忽略身邊最親的人，因為我們或多或少都會不其然地欺負他們，覺得無論我們怎麼做，他們對我們都會不離不棄。

但因為我們愛他們，所以更加應該珍惜，愛護他們，讓他們得到快樂。

快樂不在於您得到了些甚麼，而是您能給予其他人甚麼....

嘗試每天給他們一個sms，一個電話，讓您愛的人感到溫暖。對您愛的人說聲我愛您 ...

The little prince told the pilot that if you happened to be in love with a rose who is existing on one of the millions stars in the sky. Then whenever you look upon the stars, you can feel all the stars are smiling at you, because the one that you love is living there ...

Be happy my love ones ... Stars are shining on you always!!!
