Top Ten Movies from Asia...
剛剛收到
Christianity Today 既weekly newsletter, 有一個講Top Ten Movies from Asia 既article:
link
當中大家睇過多少?
幾驚奇有倩女幽魂同我的野蠻女友﹐兩部都係大賣既好戲﹐我都好鐘意﹐倩女幽魂簡直就係鬼片既經典﹐拍得又靚﹐又恐怖﹐我重記得一路睇一路驚既情況﹐相信大家應該都有睇過。
另外﹐我有睇過飲食男女﹐Shall We Dance, 同一個都不能少。 都幾有興趣睇韓片JSA。唔知有無人睇過呢?
美麗的誤會?!
因為各人既觀點與角度不同﹐加上每個人對人對事都會有一D 假設﹐人與人相處﹐時時會產生很多誤會。
有一D 誤會﹐無傷大雅﹐甚至乎叫人啼笑皆非。
今日係唐人街買野﹐收錢時﹐店員同我講國語。
以前﹐有人問過我﹐係唔係係Penang 打工。
亦有人以為我超悶﹐唔玩﹐唔睇戲﹐唔聽歌。
大家曾經以為﹐我咩都食﹐咩都飲。
甚至乎有人以為我係技安亞媽!!!!! (講真﹐果個人真係視力同判斷力都好有問題!!!)
但係有D 誤會﹐唔係好似以上既得啖笑甘簡單。
父母﹐尤其中國人﹐縱然很愛子女﹐但係唔識得表達﹐多打罵少稱讚﹐子女唔明白﹐多以為父母唔錫自己﹐令到親子關係疏離。
女仔﹐明明對個男仔無意思﹐但係對方約會又次次答應﹐令人誤會自己有機會﹐點知最終都係落空。
男仔﹐明明對個女仔有意思﹐但係又唔同對方講清楚﹐若即若離﹐令人無所適從﹐本來女仔都想有所發展﹐但忍受不了不清不楚的關係﹐最終放棄。
女仔﹐明明對個男仔有意思﹐但唔識表達﹐經常給對方mixed signals, 男仔等對方暗示﹐但係解唔到碼﹐一路拖拖拉拉﹐浪費時間。
羅密歐與朱麗葉﹐一場誤會﹐以至雙雙自殺殉情。
打911, 接線生聽錯地址﹐救護車遲到五分鐘﹐傷者本來有得救﹐但因誤時而終身殘廢。
例子還有好多好多。
當然﹐生活中很多誤會﹐唔係生死猶關。但係有時因為一時意氣﹐又或者無從對方既出發點去考慮﹐小事化大﹐造成不可彌保既傷害﹐又似乎相當唔值得。
我覺得所有誤會﹐都唔會係美麗﹐就算以為我重係大學生都唔係。(以為我係技安亞媽就一定唔係!!!!!!)
因為誤會歪曲左事實﹐係好多情況下﹐亦破壞左人同人之間既相處。未必係令關係差左﹐但係本來可以好D 既關係未能進一步亦相當可惜。
誤會好難避免﹐但係一定要學點樣解開誤會。我諗最緊要係開心見誠啦﹐例如﹐唔鐘意既就唔好勉強同人地出街囉。
飯桶BB
我一向對車﹐包﹐貓﹐狗既興趣不大﹐見到得意既細路反應就會好大。甘今日前見到呢幅BB食飯食到成身都係既相﹐實在太可愛。俾大家睇下。
一個人住
有時候好想一個人住...
同家人住有一段日子了﹐起初很不慣。由大學到工作﹐自己住了好幾年﹐自由慣﹐一下子搬回家﹐未懂得欣賞與家人住的好處。
現在慣了﹐想一個人住純粹係地方既問題。
一個人住﹐可以請朋友﹐弟兄姐妹來玩﹐請他們食飯﹐傾計﹐開prayer meeting, 團契housegathering...
每次有特別的日子﹐想找個地方一班人聚一聚﹐好煩惱既時候﹐我就希望自己住。又或者屋企大一些﹐可以招呼朋友﹐又唔會打搞到家人。
有好多甜品想試做呢﹐但要即場少量精制﹐不知何時才有機會...
最心愛的歌之一...發現
近期多得三師徒﹐聽多左好多新歌﹐唔同以前bala bala 聽左幾年。
其實流行歌﹐有不少既旋律同歌詞都上成。一路聽﹐一路唱, 宣洩一下﹐好舒服。有時候﹐係歌詞中會令自己思索一D問題﹐明白一D道理。
係BL既私人珍藏之中有張叫"寶麗金真開心精選04." 係Track 9, 有一首令我好驚喜既舊歌...伊健既發現.
從來沒有 讓我 望見 實際是那一面
我追 你閃 如陷迷陣裡面 化身 百千
眉目一轉 動地震天 變沒有 伏線讓我心慌意亂
半開半掩 猶像隱蔽樂園 我想 每天 層層地發現
逐漸地揭穿 讓你的離奇新鮮 留待我
隨時發現曾在舉指間 呼吸裡 思想中 轉眼掠過
微妙碎片 任角色 如何轉變 還是看見你天真的臉
奇緣這一生這一處這一刻給我遇見 追逐你飄忽的臉
從來沒有 讓我 望見 實際是那一面 我追 你閃
猶像隱蔽樂園 我想 每天層層地發現 逐漸地揭穿
曾經紅極一時既伊健﹐有好多正歌。超人女友未迷上古巨基﹐Jay 之前﹐係Leon 之後﹐好鐘意伊健。我唔係狂迷伊健 (其實從來無為偶像瘋狂過﹐最多同一首歌聽幾百次), 但係佢既歌同戲都好欣賞。佢係無記拍電視時已經有睇﹐古惑仔系列既戲都應該睇晒。
覺得發現既歌詞好有意思。其實身邊既家人﹐朋友都有好多野﹐留待我地"每天層層地發現 逐漸地揭穿."
以前睇人好表面﹐見人日常hehehaha, 講笑﹐講D似乎無聊既野﹐就以為人地好膚淺。放多D 時間去認識對方﹐先知膚淺既係自己。
其實人人都有好多面﹐未熟﹐當然無機會見到對方係唔同情形既表現。識既日子淺﹐好自然唔會將自己內心深處既感受講出黎。
過去幾年﹐同好多自己以為絕對無可能會熟絡既人做左好朋友。諗起﹐都覺得好好笑。竟然同蘇眉講"你唔細架啦﹐正經D 啦"﹐講左差唔多成年。
有人問過我其實鐘意同學生定係做野既人hang out。其實﹐做朋友﹐無年齡既限制﹐同唔同既人﹐有唔同既交流。最緊要大家真係交心﹐最唔鐘意係永遠停留係表面化既友誼。
有人又問我點解最近甘感性﹐係blog 度寫左唔少自己既感受。其實﹐自問一向都係甘﹐係blog, 不過係俾大家從另外一個角度認識下 BL.
希望藉住blog, 大家都發現大家更多。
忙碌的安息日
想不到這個安息日會由零晨忙到零晨。
團契完左﹐返到屋企已經夜深。發覺 Mom 病了﹐發冷﹐想帶她到ER, 但她又不想。幫她食藥各樣﹐睡的時候已經兩點多。為安全計﹐在樓下沙發睡﹐睡得不好﹐五點多返房訓﹐七點多又醒了。唯有起來﹐做這做那。
時間到了﹐返教會﹐主日學﹐崇拜。完了﹐去食午飯﹐但有training﹐未食先走。
三點﹐training 完了﹐但蛋河不見了﹐只好買個麵包。之後﹐去Penn, 搬屋。
五點搬完﹐返唐人街傾Bay 婚禮reception 做 MC 的事宜。傾完﹐送亞花蝴返屋企。
六點幾﹐回到家。Mom 好似 ok. 洗完菜﹐以為今日就此完滿結束。
七點﹐同各網友YM﹐ICQ, 寫blog.
點知八點幾﹐Mom 覺得很不舒服。不想再等﹐到了ER。才發現是發高燒﹐104度。
九點到一點﹐係ER度過。
感恩﹐因為不用等太耐。很快便見醫生﹐做了很多test. 發現是中耳發炎。因是舊患﹐放心一些。吃了藥﹐燒也漸退。
一點﹐call細佬來接。醫院好近﹐不用一分鐘的車程。
多謝知道的朋友的代禱。YM 又一次立功﹐無時間call 超人女友﹐ 她在YM status 中看到﹐call 了我。臨離開ER﹐又收到好友既短訊。知道大家關心﹐覺得無甘孤單。其實之前見到 Mom 的情況﹐好驚﹐唯一可以做既係祈禱。因為忙﹐今日都無機會同人講﹐加上今早 Mom 似乎好多了﹐點知今晚又如此。家中最大﹐好驚都唯有死撐﹐如果自己唔掂﹐家人更加不知所措﹐想喊想驚都要強作鎮定。
明日 (今日) 會請假在家。
經過IHouse...
今日經過Penn Campus, 又令我諗返起舊年亞棠,KT係度既日子。
話甘快﹐又一年﹐03暑假走左一班玩得好熟既學生。雖然大家認識既日子很短﹐但係唔知點解﹐大家真係一見如故﹐係好多方面都有好既交通。雖然大家係唔同既人生階段﹐都好岩傾﹐能夠彼此支持。起初會擔心人一就茶就涼﹐不過靠IM, email, SMS, 電話﹐大家仍然keep in touch 得好好。真係感謝神將呢班好友帶到我既生命當中﹐無左佢地﹐人生真係會失色好多。
相信好快好快﹐就會有機會再見佢地。正! 在此﹐向幾千里以外既好友送上祝福﹐為你地工作﹐學業各樣禱告。
Long Vacation...The End
好快又到了八月尾﹐很多學生明日要返學了﹐悠長的暑假終於結束。
雖然脫離學生生涯已有一段時間﹐但因為在學生團契事奉﹐我的時間表仍然與學生們的息息相關。
Summer, 很多同學返香港﹐如家不在Philly的又會返屋企. 而且教會又有很多的活動﹐一般而言﹐團契的workload會輕一些。每年暑假﹐我都趁機休息﹐外遊充電. 上年去了巴西﹐今年又到過Pittsburgh, Seattle, DC。當然﹐不是短宣﹐但有機會同一班好友去玩﹐又探探久違了的朋友﹐都很值得。
八月的最後一個星期﹐特別多轉變。芝芝weekend 走了。禮拜三又送走了10A, 不過亞妹,亞姐又返到Philly﹐但係亞妹﹐bobby 今早又走了。 今日下午﹐幫snapshot搬家﹐遲幾日﹐遊戲王又返. 其他的學生應該係黎緊既weekend 都會見到。
來來回回.
開始新一年﹐有不少人轉校﹐又或剛上大學﹐相信會有好多新挑戰。
希望今年可以同大家一齊經歷係校園各樣的苦與樂。
有野要幫忙﹐記得開聲。有野玩﹐更加要預埋我。
開開心心星期六
星期六﹐Ga Ja 同仔仔去左舊城自助餐食brunch.
本來﹐仔仔想去vampire, 但係大家都無去過舊城﹐又想去
Best Buy 睇野﹐於是去左果度。相當唔錯﹐雖然GJ 食完第一碟已經飽﹐但係無幾可同亞周渝民食飯﹐佢重請我添﹐傾下食下﹐都食多左碟Mongolian BBQ.
一路講既時候﹐發現原來仔仔去過AC既
Borgota Buffets, 話好正好正﹐咩都有得食﹐但係就唔平﹐dinner 要 $26.95﹐同東王朝甘既價。甘近D既。但係仔仔就話好奇怪﹐somehow係個buffet度係無洗手間既﹐要出返casino先有。我同個friend 講返﹐大家都好唔明﹐甘如果出左去﹐係唔係唔返得入去? 甘俾左錢﹐拎住張單都唔得? 如果唔得﹐唔通怕D人換過另外一個人入去再大食一餐? 有洗手間﹐唔通D人就會食多好多野?
食完野﹐本來要drop off D 相俾攝影師先﹐但係佢係黑房晒緊相﹐未得。於是先去Best Buy, 點知就係parking lot俾我見到好耐無偶然甘遇上既星霸﹐超正﹐立刻衝上去打招呼。估唔到唔係CTown, 都會撞到。仔仔話GJ 好似中左六合彩甘開心。無計啦﹐亞星霸係我D friends黎架麻﹐無約又見到﹐唔開心先奇啦。
慚愧
星期三晚上﹐聽到一個消息﹐傷心了好久﹐好久...一整晚聽著傷心的情歌﹐全身不舒服﹐睡了也痛醒﹐起來﹐看書﹐逼自己累極去休息。
星期四早上﹐發現自己何其自私﹐小題大做, 自尋煩惱。
同事因為與媽碼在照顧孩子的事情上有分歧﹐受到很大的委曲﹐與她傾談﹐知道事情不小﹐看著眼泛淚光的她﹐明白她的感受﹐為她難過...
過了不久﹐開staff meeting, 談到各人近況。老闆因要安排家姑進nursing home 的事情﹐兩天沒上班﹐因為家姑Alzheimer's disease的關係﹐老闆常常要last minute的請假﹐在家中照顧﹐她提到看見nursing home 的情況﹐縱然有心理準備﹐但也真的接受不來﹐哭了。她丈夫作為兒子﹐知道母親的現況﹐知道自己不能再照顧她﹐早已完全崩潰...
星期四﹐五的晚上﹐接二連三的聽到朋友們在人際關係上受到的傷害與困擾。做不了甚麼﹐只能聽﹐只能代禱。
今早﹐check email, 發現加州姊妹在面臨downsizing﹐正在partime讀神學課程的她很膽心﹐在email中她分享如何地經歷神的恩典﹐在她未曾申請獎學金之前﹐神已親自預備教會資助一半的學費﹐雖然現在工作的情況仍未清楚﹐但深信神早已為祂愛的人預備最好的。
看看自己﹐自己的傷痛﹐微不足道。
不斷提醒自己在cell group 所學的:
Goal: an outcome that requires only my cooperation to achieve
Desire: an outcome that requires the cooperation of another person in order to be achieved
The secret of contentment: differentiating your goals and desires
We need to pray for our desires and choose to take personal responsibility for our goals.
近日﹐太放縱自己﹐很多的goals, 未有盡全力去做﹐花太多的時間﹐想著desires. 不要誤會﹐desires 也可以是好的﹐例如﹐帶家人信主是desire, 因為這不是我努力就做得到﹐因為我不能為他們選擇。我可以為他們禱告﹐向他們傳福音﹐但信主與否﹐是我控制不到的。只是坦白說﹐這不是我不開心的原因...
好友說得對﹐我們都是軟弱的人, 不要自欺, 有emotion也不算錯. 但真的不要隱藏, 要敞開向神, 祂知道我們的意念. 讓祂帶領. "若不是從天上賜的, 人就不能得甚麼." (約三27)
從今天起﹐再一次立志﹐努力做好本分﹐為各樣goals 去努力。為到各樣desires 而禱告. 相信神的預備最好。
P.S. 感恩﹐多謝各位的關心。
BL 大揭秘之處處碰
呢個網站﹐有講愛情既四張機﹐有講書既開卷有益﹐有講食既﹐有講唔食既﹐有有獎遊戲﹐為左增加可讀性﹐今日開始一個新既不定期專題﹐叫 BL 大揭秘﹐由亞雪花冷衫同大家講下一D 亞BL 鮮為人知既攪笑野...
如果大家有留意亞BL 既手手腳腳, 就會發現佢有好多大大小小既瘀痕. 大家又知唔知點解呢? 唔通BL做生意得罪人﹐俾人打? 唔通BL係屋企俾技安蝦﹐俾人虐待? ...
雖然BL係個跨國企業既CEO﹐日理萬機﹐係大事上面好精明﹐但其實BL係個非常之輪盡既人﹐人地亞千樺就處處吻﹐BL就時時都處處碰。好似今日一早就係公司既廚房, 撞埋個雪櫃度﹐重要俾同事L見到﹐講埋俾其他同事聽。 之後﹐與同事R一齊同老細傾野﹐傾完﹐一齊行返自己既位﹐點知BL係轉彎既時候﹐又撞埋個cubicle既板度。其實對於BL黎講﹐今日既真係好小事﹐無錯係撞到﹐但係都唔算好大力﹐如果唔係俾人見到﹐根本BL都唔會記得﹐因為呢D野其實日日都發生。再嚴重既碰撞﹐好似撞車門﹐撞牆﹐撞其他各樣會郁﹐唔會郁既野都試過。
下次同BL 一齊﹐睇實佢啦﹐撞得多﹐真係唔係甘好啦。
四張機之四...心扉的信
心扉,
很久沒有寫信給你了﹐好嗎?
其實早知道會這樣﹐只是想不到那日會來得如此快﹐想不到自己的反應如此大。
原來從來都是自欺欺人﹐騙得了人﹐亦理智地﹐客觀地在騙自己, 情感最直接的回應﹐卻是控制不來。發燒呢﹐由心內而出﹐是會燒傷﹐燒死的吧。四肢無力﹐頭痛。心情﹐好像打翻了的調味架﹐可惜﹐糖早已用罄﹐再也分不到配給﹐只剩下酸﹐苦﹐澀...沒哭﹐因為沒有資格...
彷彿回到了多年前的一個九月﹐聽著另一個他的懺悔﹐良久未能明白他在說甚麼﹐想問﹐你是在說方言麼? 請不要給我翻出來。眼淚一直流﹐一直流...
你會說﹐兩件事風牛馬不相及呢。你會說我太敏感了﹐事情未必如我所想。我當然知道﹐但無論如何﹐痛的都是我。為甚麼呢?
好友說﹐別胡思亂想﹐沒了你﹐我們怎麼辦? 是真的麼? 但為甚麼我的心仍在絞痛?
期待你的回信。
守丹上
「葉子的離開，是因為風的追求，還是樹的不挽留。」
And the winner is...
有獎遊戲之BL講唔食已經完滿結束﹐多謝各位有份參與既讀者係過去兩日﹐好努力甘估BL唔識D 咩野。
係公布得獎者之前﹐先將大家曾經估過既食物 (係8/24﹐11:59pm 之前post), 分開岩同唔岩兩類列出:
岩 (即係唔食) -
雞腳, 荔枝﹐龍眼,榴漣﹐椰絲糖﹐奶油飽,波蘿椰絲包, 臭豆腐﹐椰tart. 椰子﹐ 椰絲棉花糖﹐ 潺菜﹐豆苗﹐雞皮﹐苦瓜﹐雞pat pat﹐小紅辣椒﹐ 鹹魚﹐ 生洋蔥頭,生雞蛋, 雞泡魚,柚皮, 餛飩麵上面D蔥.
唔岩(即係食)
香蕉,矮瓜﹐檸檬﹐椰汁糕, crab.
因為係個posting度已經講過唔食椰絲﹐所以凡係有椰絲既都唔計。
我諗個winner都好明顯啦﹐就係Babytomato啦。 BBT 估中左: 臭豆腐﹐小紅辣椒﹐鹹魚﹐生洋蔥頭,生雞蛋, 雞泡魚,柚皮. 厲害﹐厲害﹐大家請鼓掌支持!!
至於獎品係咩﹐有無人估呀? 呢個世界上得一個人會估到/知道﹐哈哈﹐所以﹐大家都唔使估啦。 BBT﹐我私下同你傾傾點樣領獎啦。
P.S. 其實大家所估中既野﹐我諗唔夠 BL 唔食既野既一半。不過﹐為免嚇親大家﹐都係唔好再講其他我唔識既野啦。哈哈。
沒有月亮的晚上
在一個沒有月亮的晚上﹐聽著最心愛的歌﹐寫下一封封心扉的信﹐想到如何說再見...再一次經歷心之全蝕。
如果牆會說話, 它會說﹐絕對是個夢...曾經深愛過﹐就不枉流金歲月。我愛，我不愛﹐唯有花解語。
再別10A
今日﹐同10A食飯...
想不到這個與我甚有淵源的小友終於要走了。
其實沒有太大的不捨﹐可能覺得很快又會再見。
不過﹐星期日﹐不會再有人很體貼地打電話問我﹐要不要代我在香港餅家買腿蛋包做早餐。 平常﹐不會再有人很熱心地介紹很多不同的firewall, spyware 的 link 給我。不能再跟每一個有聯絡香港的同學說﹐我認識了一個交換生﹐他竟然認識 Ms. Chan (中六班主任)﹐世界真細小﹐因為他﹐我與10年無聯絡的Ms. Chan 通email...
這個週末﹐查經會靜得多﹐主日學無人一同坐頭位﹐可能會很不慣...
再別﹐是因為他本來認該五月便走了﹐想不到留了下來做research, 因而有機會一同到Pittsburgh, DC 玩。很開心﹐很難忘。
為他的成長﹐對信仰的認真﹐事奉的熱誠感恩。
寫著﹐想著﹐視線開始有一點模糊...
別了10A﹐希望在不久的將來﹐會再見!
If I have no love...
這幾天﹐我有關心過身邊的家人﹐弟兄姊妹﹐朋友﹐同事嗎? 你呢?
THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN?LIFE Daily Devotional August 24, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I Have No Love
by John Fischer
In his book Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren has made a very radical statement. If I have no love for others, no desire to serve others, I should question whether Christ is really in my life. This bold assertion comes from something John said in his first letter: If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that we have passed from death to eternal life. But a person who has no love is still dead. 1 John 3:14
The presence of love in your heart for others and the realization of what you can do to serve them is evidence that you have been born again and Christ is in your heart. The absence of any such sensitivity suggests that you may still be the center of your universe. It may all still be about you.
Can you look at your life over the last few days and see evidence of the fact that you have cared about someone other than yourself? Can you point to some examples of how you have served a brother or a sister in some way? If you can, take heart. If you can't, it might be a good time for some soul-searching.
I am trying this little test on myself right now and I must admit I am not doing very well. I am currently on the road, and though I spend a good deal of time serving others through my gifts of speaking and writing, you could also say that this is my work. This is what I am expected to do. I do this for a living. I am in for these moments of ministry. But I can get very selfish with my off time. I isolate myself in a hotel room or an airplane seat. I make myself unavailable to the needs around me. I might not even call home because that would only remind me of those there who need my attention.
Sometimes, I think we need to step in and serve even if we don't feel like it. Once we do, Christ energizes us and gives us not only the strength to do this, but the desire to do it again. Ask God to open your eyes to those around you and show you ways in which you can serve them in love. Thatbeing obedient to what He asks and finding His power to do it all at the same time.
How about this? Ipray for you right now and you pray for me that God will awaken us with hearts to serve, the wisdom to see the need, and the power to follow through. .[+/-] result
觀點與角度
係兩個唔同既blog都睇到呢個video. 好有可能大家都已經見過。
link
唔知大家覺得點? 好lum? 好肉麻? 甘我都覺得有D 好笑﹐不過對couple 又好enjoy 既﹐good for them la. 甘我當然唔會係D公眾場所做埋D 甘既野啦。宜家甘多人有video cam, 真係隨時俾人影左﹐post 左上網﹐都唔知架。
有獎遊戲之BL講唔食
呢兩日﹐又俾班friends 話我咩都唔食。哈哈﹐甘今日忽發奇想﹐既然之前寫左篇"BL 講食", 不如就寫返篇"BL 講唔食".
雖然好多人話我唔似甘揀飲擇食(但係有樣睇架咩?), 我亦唔覺得自己俺尖﹐但係無可否認﹐我真係有好多野係唔食既﹐有D 好普通既野﹐我都好有可能係唔食既。其實﹐有D 野﹐我無咩特別既理由唔食﹐但係somehow, 唔食就係唔食﹐好似唔鐘意一個人﹐鐘意一個人﹐有時係無得解既。不過﹐有D 野﹐我係連試都無試過既﹐可能係直覺自己唔會鐘意既﹐甘就無謂試啦﹐因為唔想浪費。
不過﹐我知我既logic 可以好奇怪。我係唔食雞尾包既﹐唔單只係因為有D 椰絲甘。最緊要係﹐我係食波蘿包既﹐係德貞讀小學果時﹐亞爸送我返學﹐就會係一間好似叫大華既茶餐廳買個波蘿包﹐好好味既﹐雖然有時我放係書包﹐壓到個包扁晒﹐但係我都覺得好好食。甘對我黎講﹐波蘿包同雞尾包就好似張國榮同譚詠麟甘﹐係勢不兩立既。甘我食波蘿包﹐當然就唔食雞尾包啦。哈哈。
之前promise 過會再有有獎遊戲。甘不如大家就估下我係有D 咩係唔食架啦。不過﹐有D rules 既:
1) 只講食既﹐飲品唔計。
2) 由宜家開始﹐大家可以留comment, deadline 係8/24, 11:59pm.
3) 為免大家亂估﹐如果估錯﹐就會扣分。岩一個﹐錯一個﹐甘就無分啦。
4) 講既野﹐請specific 一D.
5) 只有一個winner. 甘當然係估岩最多果個贏啦。
6) 請唔好重複已經係comment 度有人講左既野。
其實呢個game, 亦可以睇下大家對我既了解有幾多﹐同我有幾熟甘。
至於獎品係咩﹐宜家唔公布住。不過﹐唔使擔心﹐一定唔會令大家失望!
對誰說不?
今天主日崇拜的信息對自己是個很大的提醒.
甚麼是我的大工, 我屬靈生命的圍牆? 愛神愛人﹐更深認識神﹐關懷身邊的人...
我現在所做的事情有沒有永恆的價值? 這個網址又有沒有在自己與讀者身上﹐留下一些正面的影響?
"以專心對分心說不"...要努力學習!
只有祝福
Anger, sorrow, joy, peace, love, anxiety, fear, guilt, hope, shame, depression, heartache, loneliness and jealousy. 樣樣都深切體會過﹐是祝福﹐還是詛咒?
我想...是祝福。
"Emotion: the capacity to feel sensations that range from pain to pleasure in response to the experiences of life."
抑鬱...仿如死陰的幽谷﹐沒有經歷過﹐未必能明白躺臥在青草地上的平安﹐喜樂。
心痛﹐孤單...曾經深愛過﹐原來不免要經驗到心之全蝕﹐心都全碎了﹐變成一點點星塵﹐以為希望都送走了﹐誰料有人願意細意去找尋星之碎片...
罪疚, 羞愧...因為妒忌心太重﹐愛是不嫉妒﹐凡事相信，凡事盼望﹐慚愧﹐做不到﹐努力地去做到不求自己的益處﹐恆久忍耐, 相信神未嘗留下一樣好處不給那些行動正直的人。首先要做一個合神心意的人。每天為自己﹐為對方禱告﹐有做到嗎?
"When we limit our emotional capacity by shutting down our conscious experience of feeling, we will inevitably limit our capacity to love God and others as well. It will also make us insensitive to God and to the needs of others. We will strip life of the passion for which we were created and rob life of the richness of our divine design."
感恩﹐因為感情豐富. 痛多也愛多﹐越苦﹐越懂得欣賞甘甜的活水。如果可以選擇﹐仍然會走上同一起伏不定的旅程。
"[Jesus] was never so overcome by the pressure of present emotions that He chose to act outside the will of the Father."
情緒有正面的和負面的﹐但每一個經歷﹐每一種感受﹐好的﹐壞的﹐我們都可以選擇用合神心意的方式去回應﹐神已經給我們力量﹐在靈裡打一場感情的勝仗。

無聊的BL
今日俾亞超人女友話我成日係blog度 "打啞迷", 好多野要人估估下。其實又係既﹐可能我自己天生鐘意估野﹐所以又鐘意俾D野大家估下。我覺得好好玩架﹐不過唔知大家會唔會覺得我好無聊呢? 不過無計啦﹐我係甘架啦﹐係唐人街撞到邊個都估得一餐架, 哈哈! 其實好多野﹐唔係話唔可以好直接甘講出黎﹐但係改變下形式﹐粉飾一下﹐幾好呀。可能返工都係對住D數字 ﹐唔需要用D想像力﹐甘我既creativity無重發泄﹐唯有係blog度自娛一番﹐希望係自娛之外﹐都可以帶俾大家一D笑料甘啦。
四張機之三 情感二三事
今天發現原來<四張機之二>已是寫在十天之前。不是沒有題材﹐但原來要說故事也要培養感情﹐心情與題材不相乎, 投入不來﹐能寫﹐但未免辛苦了些. 自己太煩惱﹐心靜不下來﹐想寫也寫不出來﹐但又怎能不寫呢? 可能這次轉一個形式﹐會好一些...
因誤會而結合﹐因了解而分開...
如果差不多所有人都用這個理由分手﹐為甚麼大家不能在開始之前﹐張開眼睛﹐將身邊人看清看楚才開始好好戀愛? 如果願望是廝守一生一世, 一個月﹐半年﹐一年的彼此認識﹐一點也不過份。情人比知己分開更易﹐不適合而愛上﹐反而會壞了事。
不在乎天長地久﹐只在乎曾經擁有...
如果明知是沒結果﹐又應該怎辦? 明知不被接納﹐是不是仍然應當排除萬難﹐無怨無悔地去愛? 時間一點一滴地過去﹐要分開了﹐愛過是否比未愛過幸福? 大家大概始終不能相愛﹐不離開不可能﹐曾經用心戀愛過﹐已經足夠。 下一段感情路一定會更精彩。
如個你知我苦衷...
是否應該有一絲感動? 舊訊息還是應該刪走吧﹐留下來又證明到甚麼? 去到最遠, 也只是友情. 不肯退後不肯遺忘﹐心意會被感激麼? 可以做的已做了太多﹐沒有說明﹐但又如可說明呢﹐沒有回應...算了吧﹐是不應該再浪費時間﹐應該放開吧...但能覓尋下一位至愛嗎?
「葉子的離開，是因為風的追求，還是樹的不挽留。」
守得雲開
有人話﹐愛情會係你最唔expect既時候出現﹐係你等佢等到你心痛既時候﹐就會守得雲開見月明。想唔到係真既。B 由四月向512表示﹐又縮沙, 五月又再講多次, 等左差唔多成三個月﹐一而再﹐再而三﹐三而四﹐甘被人拒絕。又拜託Z 細佬﹐IT 係香港找佢﹐甚至乎 B子都幫B 係東瀛搜尋﹐512都無理B。點知今日竟然收到email, 話512已經辦緊手續﹐8/24會到。知道等佢甘耐終於等到﹐B 真係百感交集﹐本來以為應該死左條心﹐安安分分﹐點知原來B 既一片痴心係無白費到。宜家B 終於等到心上人﹐真係可喜可賀!
醉酒大黑熊
今日lunch time 睇New York Times, 俾我見到呢個報導, 哈哈,真係搞笑。

BAKER LAKE, Wash. (AP) -- Rain-eeeeer .... Bear? When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby -- dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.
The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.
``He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer,'' said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.
Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest.
``He didn't like that (Busch) and consumed, as near as we can tell, about 36 cans of Rainier.''
A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground but the animal just climbed a tree to sleep it off for another four hours. Agents finally herded the bear away, but it returned the next morning.
Agents then used a large, humane trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier. That did the trick.
``This is a new one on me,'' Heinck said. ``I've known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference.''

男：共你相識三千天 我沒名無姓
慶幸也與你逛過 那一段旅程
曾是日夜期待你 施捨一點同情
我對你是固執 做夢或太熱情？
女：在世上 是你始終不肯退後遺忘我 感激你心意
但情人比 知己分開更易 怕我愛上你 壞了事
男：完了吧 如無意外 重今開始該好好戀愛
放下從前一段感情 才能追求將來 你就似沒存在
女：完了吧 然而你不在 情況未像幻想般變改
告別從前總是不易 原來假如只得我在
我竟未能覓尋下一位至愛
男：舊訊息應該刪走 再沒留憑證
我共你去到最遠 也只是友情
如現實是場玩笑 一早清楚內情
過去是勇敢 或是未肯適應？
女：是我笨 大概必須先經錯誤才能會 分清我心意
共行成長 數不清的故事 （男：我愛你 你扮作不知）
女：我已愛上你 壞了事
男：完了吧 如無意外（女：應該放開 縱有感慨 難道我寂寞不來？）
從今開始 該好好戀愛
放下從前一段感情 才能追求將來
你就似沒存在（女：當做我沒存在）
女：完了吧 仍能撐起來
前進便讓自尊心放開
（男：應該放開 縱有感慨 期望你能尋獲愛）
告別從前總是不易 然而假如 不只你在（男：皆得我在）
（男：再不願盲目留在這愛海）你可願仍逗留在這愛海
男：我與你 大概始終不能相愛
女：可否不離開 講出你的感慨
男：我用心戀愛（女：你用心戀愛）
合：下段道路定更精彩
男：完了吧 如無意外 曾失戀的都必須戀愛
女：悔恨從前隱瞞感情 常常猜疑將來
男：你就似沒存在（女：我就似沒存在）
合：完了吧 仍能撐起來 前進便讓自尊心放開
告別從前總是不易
男：然而假如只得我在
（女：然而假如不只你在 你可願停下來望清這至愛）
我怎樣來覓尋下一位至愛
回到未嫁時
今日甘岩俾兩個小朋友問我幾多歲。哈哈﹐其實任何人問我﹐我都會講既。雖然有人話年齡係女人既秘密﹐但係一來識得有翻甘上下時間﹐心水清既人都應該計得出我幾多歲﹐二來年齡係相對既﹐朋友當中一定有人大過我﹐又有人細過我﹐甘幾多歲又有咩好介意。不過最緊要係無論幾多歲都好﹐最緊要活得有意義囉。如果年齡同成熟程度成正比﹐甘大個D﹐無咩唔好呀。而且神好公平﹐除非英年早逝﹐唔係既話﹐人人會做過teenager﹐人人都會慢慢成熟﹐唔係話宜家細個就俾D大個既人有D咩advantage甘。
當然宜家我係學生團契﹐每年都會有新人﹐佢地一年比一年細。開頭我都怕自己會唔慣﹐但係過左成年啦﹐又無咩問題喎。反而覺得同佢地一齊好好笑﹐好好玩﹐又有機會係佢地成長過程中參與﹐當中自己都學到好多野。當然﹐我有一班做野既friends﹐可以傾﹐可以玩﹐佢地俾我既support係非常重要。so far, 都好感恩有機會繼續留係GF。
唔知大家對年齡呢樣野又點睇呢? 如果有得俾你返番以前﹐十年前﹐五年前甘﹐你又想唔想呢? 甘我就唔想啦﹐雖然有D決定係可以做得好D﹐ 但係成長就係甘架啦﹐錯過先會記得清楚﹐將來唔會再犯。而且宜家生活幾好呀﹐v.2 好過 v.1 好多﹐要我返轉頭從新黎過﹐真係咪攪我。
中西合壁?
早前與同事傾開﹐佢問我會唔會同美國人(非華裔)拍拖。 其實呢個問題我都被人問過好多次。香港既朋友問可能係覺得我係美國甘耐﹐好可能已全盤西化。美國朋友問可能係出於好奇。當然愛情應該係唔分種族﹐中外通婚成功例子亦不少﹐而且將來既野好難話得埋。但係好坦白講﹐我連諗都無諗過同美國人拍拖﹐基本上就算同係中國人﹐如果言語不通(當然係指唔係講廣東話)﹐我都會好有保留。唔係因為家人會反對﹐其實我屋企都有個鬼佬﹐M&D 都預左佢娶鬼妹。只不過我覺得文化背景太大差異﹐一定會遇到好多問題。雖然我係美國日子唔淺﹐日常與同事朋友相處無咩問題﹐但係拍拖結婚就好唔同﹐牽涉到好多傳統﹐價值觀既野﹐唔係甘容易compromise. 講真﹐男女既諗法﹐溝通方法都已經夠大分別﹐同background 既人拍拖都可以誤會重重﹐再加上中西文化分冀﹐我就覺得會好煩啦。
不過其實對我黎講﹐最重要既係我好希望可以同一個跟自己關係甘密切既人毫無保留地分享自己既諗法﹐經歷﹐同自己鐘意既野呀甘。雖然自問英語流利﹐但係有好多野都係要用廣東話講先得。而且如果我同佢講金庸﹐衛斯理﹐考會考﹐粟一燒﹐雞蛋仔﹐竹野內豐﹐林文龍﹐佢唔知我講咩﹐我會覺得好無癮囉。
唔知大家又點睇呢? 請發表下意見啦!
危機四伏﹐pedestrian beware
今日放工﹐與同事一齊行﹐經過JFK 同17th 既時候﹐突然右邊一聲巨響﹐一望﹐見到一位中年女士整個人向前仆到在地上。在她身旁的丈夫立即將她扶起﹐坐在地上﹐可是實在跌得太應﹐太太已口唇留血﹐擦傷膝頭﹐用手托著腮﹐狀甚痛苦。我們及其他路人停下來看看有否需要幫忙﹐原來太太不慎踏上一放不好的manhole cover, 因而發生意外。剛剛有一警車經過﹐為太太召來救護車﹐我們見有警察在便離開。
本市稅項雖重﹐基本建切仍然做得不好﹐費城的馬路情況真的相當差﹐無論行車行人都是一樣﹐大家在本市出入真的要打醒十二分精神。
筆者時常自恃香港人﹐又曾為紐約客﹐常常行得好快﹐兼且一路行一路multitask, 講電話不在話下﹐一路行一路SMS都試過。今日目擊意外之後﹐自己立即行慢D﹐收斂一下﹐免得一時錯腳﹐中招破相就慘啦。
私房菜
今日睇New York Times, 俾我見到呢編講私房菜既報導。講到好正甘﹐令我好想出年返香港時試試。唔知讀者當中有無人試過呢? 如果有﹐又有無咩好介紹?
In Hong Kong, Home Kitchens With Open Doors
August 15, 2004
By NINA SIMONDS
AFTER a visit to booming Shanghai, one might be tempted to relegate Hong Kong to has-been status. Don't be too hasty. Hong Kong is holding its own - especially in the culinary arts.
Take the concept of the speakeasy (si fang cai), the intimate eating places that have sprung up in people's homes and have become, for locals and those in the know, some of the best places to eat on the island. The speakeasies started several years ago when some HongKongese, gastronomes and cooks with limited means, decided to set up one or two tables in their sitting rooms and offer a fixed-price, multicourse menu of distinctive home-style dishes.
Many speakeasies don't have restaurant licenses; the authorities look the other way. Nor do they advertise, relying mainly on word of mouth. Yet they have flourished.
On a trip in May, I found some home-dining gems where thefood was fresh and delicious and the settings were memorable.
Bo InnoSeki
"Bo InnoWhatti? You may well ask," writes the engaging owner, Boris Yu, in explaining the concept of one of the most sophisticated speakeasies. The cuisine of Bo InnoSeki, located in the Central district of Hong Kong Island, is inspired by kaiseki, a traditional Japanese multicourse meal of small tastes prepared with seasonal ingredients. Mr. Yu prefers to call the food "creative Hong Kong cuisine," because it includes influences from France, Spain and China. Rather than using conventional place mats, the12 to 15 courses are served in small plates and shot glasses set on a stainless steel tray or a "stage" designed by Mr. Yu and his cook.
The chef, Alvin Leung Jr., who was formerly an acoustic engineer, is generally inspired for his innovative and original offerings by what he finds in the marketplace. Mr. Leung integrates simple local ingredients with foreign delicacies to create a compelling series of small tastes.
At a dinner in May, my three companions (including the New York restaurateur Ed Schoenfeld) and I, visiting anonymously, began with smoked swordfish, which was nicely complemented by a green apple wasabi salsa. A "duet" of escargot consisted of a whole escargot on flaky pastry, bathed in a sauce made with liquidized salty duck's egg with a touch of curry powder, then a second escargot wrapped in prosciutto with a creamy asparagus mousse. Pan-fried angler fish was seared golden and flaky to the bite along with a side of crusty truffled potato cake. A mousse of foie gras was served with a champagne jelly and a slice of chocolate-dipped pear for contrast. These were just a few of the dishes that made up our marvelous dinner. A cold, crisp sake went well with the various courses.
The restaurant, like most speakeasies, is small, limited to about 30 diners. Whitewashed walls are accentuated with colorful paintings by some of Hong Kong's up-and-coming artists. (The paintings are for sale, and they change periodically.) The tasting menu changes once a month. The wine list is small, but well-selected and reasonably priced.
Secret Pantry
Though a relative newcomer to the speakeasy scene, Secret Pantry, in the Wanchai neighborhood, already has a dedicated following. (We heard about it through the grapevine.) In stark contrast to the stylish, designer food of Bo InnoSeki, Secret Pantry offers home-style cooking of Chiu Chow - an area in Guangdong province in southern China. Seafood, goose and duck are prominently featured, as well as delicacies like shark's fin and bird's nest. (The restaurant offers a menu with the more expensive and more elaborate specialties.) The fixed-price home-style menu, which we sampled, offers eight courses and varies every two weeks.
For our meal, the amuses gueules (snacks) of spicy pickled kohlrabi and ribbons of sweet and sour cucumbers were simple but enticingly good. A delicate celery and crabmeat soup was the first main course. Later, fresh, crisp-fried tofu, which is sent every day from Pu Ning village in Chiu Chow, was served with fried tofu rolls stuffed with minced pork, peanuts and water chestnuts. A wonderful orange-flavored duck sauce known as Golden Orange Oil and a fresh garlic chive dipping sauce accompanied the tofu plate. A pan-fried Chiu Chow egg "pancake" was studded with plump, fresh oysters and garlic chives. The star dish of the evening was steamed hardshell crabs, their meat succulent and sweet. All of the food was simply prepared and deliciously fresh.
The decor at Secret Pantry, which can seat as many as 40 people, is minimal but charming. Large and small canvases of colorful contemporary art are hung on whitewashed walls. The co-owner Helen Leung, said that Secret Pantry was originally to be a gallery, but "Uncle Lam," a talented chef and father of the other owner, Florence Lam, joined into create a hybrid. Beverages are limited to soft drinks, but customers may bring their own beer or wine and pay a minimal corkage fee.
Gitone Fine Arts
A painter, ceramics maker and teacher, Terence Lee, and his wife, Clara Chong, founded Gitone Fine Arts in Wanchai in 1995. By day, it is a lovely gallery showing art and ceramics, with classes for adults and children. About five years ago, the couple installed six handsome wooden tablesto transform the space into a tiny restaurant at night, andit is a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant canaccommodate around 40 people.
Customers have a choice of either a Shanghai menu of eight appetizers and eight main courses or a Cantonese menu of 12 courses. We chose the Shanghai-style food and were not disappointed.
The starters alone were a feast of different tastes and textures. Crunchy jellyfish shreds lightly tossed in sesame oil contrasted nicely with silken tofu sprinkled withminced scallions. A classic vegetarian duck - soybean milkskin that is marinated and fried - was prepared in a masterly manner, as was a "drunken" chicken saturated with rice wine. Each dish was served in a distinctive piece ofhomemade pottery. It's hard to choose a favorite among the main dishes. Amagnificent deep-fried fish was flaky yet firm, and napped lightly with a wonderful sweet- sour sauce. Mahogany-colored, red-cooked pig's knuckle, infused with star anise and soy sauce, was so tender that it fell from the bone. Winter melon soup with a mellow chicken broth was studded with tender shreds of crab and bits of smoky Chinese ham. Even the simple dish of quick-simmered greenswas delicious, crowned with huge sweet cloves of garlic.
Mum Chau's Sichuan Kitchen
A Hong Kong friend who is an avid foodie took me to Mum Chau's Sichuan Kitchen, which is definitely an insider's type of place - just one room in an undistinguished apartment building at the top of D'Aguilar Street in the heart of Hong Kong. A colorful but discreetred sign reads, "Mum Chau's Sichuan Kitchen, Members Only," in Chinese and English. Lunch is served promptly from noonuntil two, first come first served, and tables fill almost immediately, as word has spread of its superb but simple Sichuan-style fare. Dinner is by reservation.
Mum Chau's specialties are homemade dumplings andhand-thrown noodles, but she also offers other traditional items. To order, customers are given a small yellow paper menu in Chinese and asked to tick off their choices. (You can go to other people's tables and point if you are stumped.)
Every dish we ordered, and our total was not small, was memorable. Boiled dumplings in red oil were stuffed with a tasty filling, and the cooked skin was so smooth and silky they glided down the throat. Red-cooked beef shank was tender and fragrant with star anise and chili peppers, andthe accompanying noodles were delicious with the broth."Mouth-Watering Chicken" was another winner: tender pieces of chicken pungent with the flavor of star anise.
Chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns are rampant in this spicy cuisine, but Mum Chau understands the subtle nuances of traditional Sichuan cooking, so a variety of flavors and textures are highlighted.
Plastic-coated tablecloths and disposable chopsticks underline the simplicity of the impeccably clean restaurant, which holds about 40 people. Prices are remarkably reasonable, bordering on cheap, and only those who arrive late will go away unhappy. The dumplings sellout fast.
Chow Chung Restaurant
At age 56, the chef Chow Chung Choi has earned a reputation as one of Hong Kong's most talented cooks. I first encountered his legendary Cantonese specialties at theHyatt Regency in Kowloon. Now guests can enjoy hissignature dish, steamed shark's fin soup in a papaya, inthe privacy of his home in the Sheung Wan neighborhood.
Chow Chung, Mr. Chow's private speakeasy, is one of themore intimate in Hong Kong. He not only cooks the food, but he and his wife, Wong Kit Hing, serve it and introduce each dish as well. She also creates Japanese-style floral arrangements for their cozy four-room apartment. I was joined by two companions, and we were seated in a small but handsome wood-paneled room next to the kitchen. There is room for about 20 guests.
As with the other speakeasies, the Chow Chung menu reflects what is in the marketplace that day, but it is unusual inthat each meal is different. Mr. Chow is as artistic as he is creative. For our meal, besides the shark's fin soup, there were fresh sardines stuffed with a mousseline of fishmeat, steamed and crowned with crab roe. Sweet scallopswere individually tied with green beans and stir-fried in a delicate sauce. Fried rice, studded with barbecued pork anddried octopus, was served in a lotus leaf wrapper. A sweetbird's nest soup garnished with lotus seeds and fresh lily bulbs was the sweet finale.
While the food was beautifully presented and delicately seasoned, we pined a bit for simpler fare with more robust flavors. A choice of beer, cola and bottled water are included, and wine may be brought in at no extra charge.

把心一橫
呢幾日係屋企執野, 掉左好多野﹐發然原來自己有好多紙張。無論係print出黎既notes, 資料﹐又或者係D concert programs, brochures 呀甘。多都我都覺得自己好guilty, 好浪費。其實雖然好多野都係網上睇到﹐又有electronic copy, 但係好多時貪方便﹐都會print 出黎。當然係即時係好有用﹐但係之後就會有好多紙﹐而大部分係差唔多永遠都唔會再擰翻出黎睇﹐尤其係D programs 呀甘﹐認真浪費。
我把心一橫掉左好多野﹐其實諗真D 唔係真係覺得甘可惜﹐真係有紀念價值既唔多。因為都唔係D personal 既野﹐當然D 信呀﹐cards 呀﹐postcards 呀甘﹐我都有留低﹐遲D 重諗著整翻本postcard 大全﹐好好保存各位至親好友係過去多年﹐由世界各地寄俾我既postcards.
我諗由今個season開始﹐我唔會再將D program 帶返屋企﹐亦盡量唔再print D 查經既commentary, save 左係部電腦﹐係上面睇就算啦﹐希望做得到啦。
為誰喝采?
四年一度的奧運已經開始﹐大家有收看嗎? 如果有﹐你又為誰喝采呢?
奧運以國家為單位﹐對世界上大部份人而言﹐當然是支持自己的同胞為國爭光。可是對我們這一班海外華人來說﹐問題不是那麼簡單。如果成為了美國公民, 是否就應該支持美國隊? 有時候﹐我是會支持美國的﹐但如果是一些中國也很強的項目﹐如體操﹐跳水﹐我就會希望中國的運動員勝出。 不知大家又是不是一樣? 其實﹐由此帶出了一個我想討論了很久的﹐關於我們身份的大問題。不過可能要在下一個posting才可以詳細研究。
電腦。煩惱
近日亞 HP 好多病痛﹐令我非常煩惱。由西雅圖回來後﹐技安就報告DVDRW 瀕臨死亡邊沿﹐兼病因不明。我情商本地IT support 親臨診段都未能將其起死回生。今日連亞CD都有事。我在用itunes 聽音樂時﹐放一張有相片的CD想複印到HD﹐怎料在看照片時﹐音樂竟然"走音"﹐相當奇怪。與朋友相議﹐馬上致電HP父母處﹐不出所料等好久都無人接聽﹐幸好﹐在留言中得知可以帶HP到附近的Radioshack﹐Bestbuy看病。本星期內一定要醫好HP﹐免得他突然死亡﹐我連上網也不能﹐到時候﹐相信病的會是我。
在煩惱之際﹐忽然想到不如在醫好HP之後﹐將他半賣半送給技安﹐我就另結新歡Vaio。因為技安仍在用六年老的HP﹐年老色衰的他非常慢﹐因此技安時時要來打(攪)我用新HP。有新機就不會有爭機用的煩惱。
難得清靜
尋晚技安落左DC﹐大雄難得清靜﹐做下D屋企野。又無人話大雄既 iTunes playlist insanely boring. 成日係度聽<愛與誠>﹐大聲唱都無人話, 哈﹐哈. 雖然大雄好似時時投訴亞技安麻煩, 但係其實大雄好錫技安既。成日俾NM同佢去玩﹐自己就被迫同L既前度N出街。不過STO 就off limit 啦。佢太粗鹵啦﹐STO 係斯文人﹐同我其他D friend 岩key D, 技安同STO唔係甘岩傾。
愛與誠
克勤果然無介紹錯﹐古巨基既<愛與誠>真係好正﹐我就鐘意<愛與誠>多過<大雄>啦。可能都係D 傷感既歌比較易有共鳴啦。不過都係果句﹐我好好﹐唔係等緊釋放﹐無被迫戀愛﹐點都好﹐一定唔想做貓做狗。 哈﹐哈。
聽講首<傷追人>都正﹐亞福﹐你識做啦﹐快D send 埋俾我啦。

愛與誠
曲：曹雪芬@宇宙大爆炸 詞：林夕 編：
其實自己一個更開心 只等你講
其實大家早已嫌大家 卻扮忙
恨有多一點碰撞 仍然無聊事幹不敢打攪對方
要是你願意 誠實講一趟 彼此都起碼覺得釋放
不要哭 我也忍得了這些年來的委曲
沒法真心愛下去 只好真心真意的結束
* 別再做情人 做隻貓做隻狗 不做情人
做隻寵物至少可愛迷人 和你不瞅不睬
最終只會成為敵人 淪為舊朋友 是否又稱心
沒有心 只像閒人 若有空 難道有空可接吻
注定似過路人陌生 你怎麼手震 (這預告 發自虔誠內心) *
長期被迫戀愛也真比 失戀更慘
長期扮演若無其事般 更困難
是我專登反應慢 明明為時甚晚 牌一早該要攤
再像我伴侶 仍望多一眼 一生都將會記得今晚
Repeat *
對不起 自動分手錯愕的你怕會傷感
盲目的我 現在也可轉台來賀你新生
別再做情人 做隻貓做隻狗 不做情人
做隻寵物至少可愛迷人
和你相交不淺無謂明日會被你憎
淪為舊朋友 是否又稱心 沒有心 只像閒人
若有空 難道有空可接吻
注定似過路人陌生 你怎麼手震

Julia Child died
今日睇
新聞知道Julia Child過左身。其實我對呢位將French cooking 帶進美國家庭既大廚唔係甘認識。不過今日睇翻佢既生平﹐覺得好有意思。原來佢個本被譽為畫時代既
"Mastering the Art of French Cooking," 係係Julie Child 四十九歲先出既。Julia 亦好敢言﹐唔會理其他人點睇。有時我地會覺得有D野想做﹐尤其係career 方面﹐但係已經入左一行﹐覺得太遲﹐Julia 既例子令我知道自己重大把時間﹐只要自己肯做﹐重有好多機會. 原來佢重有本書叫
"Baking with Julia," 等我星期一去 Barnes & Noble 望下﹐岩既就買翻本看門口.

大雄
曲：側田(On Your Mark) 詞：林夕 編：雷頌德
自問是未滿分 自問是沒信心 實在是未夠本事
我卻要發威一次 太抱歉你未同意
我要這世界知 我對你有幾癡 一想起都覺自私
宣佈吧我愛你 可笑是你剛剛至知
* 我要與你遊盡可愛的天下 奉送你叮噹的一堆笑話
你想過容納我 但有點怕 是嗎 認喇
頭上就綁著竹蜻蜓飛過塵世吧
為你獻花 愛嗎 愛啦 日後發奮的我
難令你會有富貴榮華 難令我變了絕代情人你受嗎 *
自問是大懶豬 自問是未夠班 但自願被你欺負
世界對我太可惡 我愛你卻極頑固
我也有我法寶 我永遠對你好 可不可演你丈夫
不怕令你厭惡 不會令你一刻吃苦
Repeat *

我的擇偶條件?
剛剛係
Christianity Today 看到呢個講單身基督徒擇偶條件既article, 覺得幾有趣:
link
知道大家比較怕醜﹐都係唔會係度講你既擇偶條件架啦﹐所以我都唔會講﹐哈哈。不過其中一個讀者所提既我都好同意﹐節錄如下:
"Not in any order:
A man after God's own heart
A man whose face lights up when I walk into a room
A man who knows he has a destiny and a purpose and wants to make a difference
A man who's not defined by the labels he wears on his clothes, the car he drives, or his occupation
A man who makes me giggle and snort laugh
A man who is OK with the fact I haven't always known Jesus and is accepting that I have a past
A man who gives good hugs and has a kissable face (this doesn't mean I want the most handsome man in the world)
A man who loves hanging out with friends and going to see bands and movies
A man who likes my family and loves my friends like his own
A man who's steady but can be spontaneous, too—or at least cope with my ultimate flexibility!
A man who'll never cheat, use emotional blackmail, be physically aggressive or manipulative, or have an addictive personality.
Loves me … and wants to create an incredible life with me
Vikki"
Disclaimer: 呢D唔係我既擇偶條件黎架. 如果你好想知我既, 請留言, 哈哈!
BL講食
今日同BBT 係comment box 度傾開 Philly 既餐廳﹐講到興致勃勃。諗翻起係費城甘多年去過既食店都唔少。我唔係蔡瀾﹐唔識食﹐亦都唔敢係度寫食經﹐不過講下自己鐘意既餐廳都可以。
除左Chinatown 既之外, 去得最多既相信係
Shiroi Hana 白花。大學時代經常去﹐係白花留下不少回憶。以前Shiroi Hana 二樓有得租帶﹐我就係係果度租經典日劇<東京愛的故事>, 重要係日文版添。開始係Philly 返工之後都去過好幾次﹐食物唔錯﹐地點又適中。最近個次係今年既生日﹐同班好朋友一齊慶祝﹐好難忘。
另一間去得多既係
Rose Tattoo Cafe. 第一次去係 highschool 既恩師 Mrs. L 帶我去﹐重記得一齊去
Art Museum 睇完 Cezanne, 去RTC 食飯。當時已經覺得裝修好靚好特別﹐但係食物好唔好﹐我都唔識。兩﹐三年前同D 姊妹再去﹐先發現原來係甘好﹐RTC 既mushroom soup, 非常非常美味﹐因為去得多﹐大部份entree 都試過﹐印象中每一款都好食﹐而且份量頗多﹐我地多數都係share entree, 因為要留肚食RTC 既甜品﹐佢地既creme brulee, 真係...
我都唔識點形容﹐要大家親自去試先得。
我比較喜愛日本餐﹐因為清D﹐健康D。食魚生﹐壽司﹐個人心水係South Jersey Collingswood 既 Sagami. 其實同我家好近﹐但係無人陪, 我都好耐無去過啦. Sagami 地方細﹐人亦多﹐但係呢間連 Penn 既日文老師都推薦既餐廳﹐我就好buy. 其實係Phllly 既 Japanese restaurant 都唔少﹐Genji, 係Penn campus 同 17 & Sansom 都有。係Walnut 有Oasis, 係食buffet既。當然重有 7 & Chestnut 既 Morimoto, 係 Penn 有 Pod. Morimoto, 我未去過﹐亦無打算去﹐因為實在貴﹐亦覺得似乎係食decor 同Iron Chef 既名氣多於一切。Pod 既賣點係可以玩轉燈﹐食物就麻麻啦。Philly 重有其他 Japanese restaurant, 我一係未去過﹐又可能去過﹐但係無咩特別。
另外去過較突出既restaurant有 Founders (服務最好,環境非常romantic﹐view 又靚), Le Bec Fin (全城至top, restaurant week 既時候去﹐$30 for 3 courses, 9/26 到10/1又有啦)﹐Swann Lounge (sunday brunch, weekend dessert), Tangerine, Striped Bass, Brasserie Perrier, Rouge, Jake's (Manuyank), La Campagne (Cherry Hill), Le Castagne, 等等。其他如 McCormick & Schmick's, Dmitri's, Devon, Ernesto's 1521 Cafe, Bertucci's, 有D係 chain, 但係都好有水準。
其實重有好多餐廳未去過﹐現時最想試 Buddakan 同 Lacroix. 不過其實我最享受既係同朋友一齊﹐一邊食﹐一邊有傾有講﹐就算淨係買sandwich, 坐係公園食﹐又或者係South Philly 食Philly Cheesesteak (不過當然 Pat's 係好出名既)﹐我都已經覺得好開心﹐好滿足啦。.[+/-] result
AT special offers
雖然時時被Lo 嫌土﹐但是我的上班服首選仍然係
Ann Taylor. 愛其用料佳, 款式大方﹐簡單﹐衣服耐穿耐看。今日 lunch time 行經, 發現 AT 正在做promotion, 由現在到八月底, 買滿$75會有一張$25的gift card 可以在九月開始用。 而AT Loft, 亦在做類似既promotion, 其實我相信各姊妹可能都已經知道,如果未既話﹐去睇下啦﹐係呢個時候買衫價錢係最相宜架啦。
Valentino Ristorante
昨晚同幾位好友到了在13 & Pine 既
Valentino Ristorante 晚飯。對這間大家都係第一次去既意大利餐廳﹐我相當滿意。食物﹐情調, 服務各方面都有水準﹐價錢亦相宜。意外地首次嘗到grilled 既calamari, 又點了海鮮risotto, ravioli 等等﹐各菜式都色香味美。食Italian food, 當然要食甜品﹐ creme brulee不錯﹐但tiramisu 就略嫌濕了一些. 店內有威尼斯的風景點綴﹐相當詩情畫意。星期一晚﹐顧客不多﹐菜上得快, 服務亦勤快一些。三數知己可以無拘無束地一面吃﹐一面傾偈﹐真係人生一大享受。大家有機會不妨試試 Valentino Ristorante, 相信大家不會失望。
四張機之二 戀愛世紀
想同大家講一個二十一世紀﹐數碼時代既愛情故事...
無拍拖有好幾年了﹐B 對愛情唔係無憧憬﹐亦唔係無心儀既對象﹐好幾次差一點點就會蜜運成功﹐但係見到身邊既朋友為左另一半所付上的金錢﹐時間﹐同心機﹐B 就會膽怯, 曾經滄海﹐都好難怪B 唔想再為愛情付上沉重的代價。
不 過每次係一些特別的場合﹐好似婚禮﹐有friend畢業﹐或者同朋友外遊﹐見到人家一雙一對﹐留下一張張美麗溫馨的回憶﹐B 都會很羡慕。其實期間B 都有拍下散拖﹐多數都係搵返欲斷難斷既N出黎﹐一齊去D functions 甘。但係B 漸漸發覺同N 一齊﹐雖然大家好熟﹐唔需要再彼此認識﹐但係每次既消費都唔少﹐可能係因為N 比較傳統吧。直至到去年初夏﹐有朋友結婚﹐B 真係想正正經經甘搵返個男友。在這個互聯網既時代﹐B 好相信係網上先可以搵真愛﹐在朋友婚禮之前﹐B 多次到各大網址尋找對象﹐但係B 既愛情恐懼症實在太嚴重﹐最後又係臨陣退縮﹐無膽闖情關。
各方好友知道B既心情﹐都好落力甘幫佢介紹合適既對象。 尤其係朋友A﹐B ﹐同D﹐佢地係已經上岸既
情場老手, 對搵對象好有經驗。當時朋友B 同B 介紹過CGT, 朋友D 又曾經同B 提過STO, 但係一時間認識甘多人﹐B 都有D花多眼亂。當時甘岩朋友I 剛剛開始拍拖, 佢向B 大力推薦佢男友既兄弟CAE。B 見過CAE﹐都有D心動。為左自己既終身幸福著想﹐B 花左好多時間同CAE彼此了解﹐又問過好多朋友既意見。但係唔知點解﹐B 都係決定唔到, 雖然CAE很好﹐不過可能就係少左D兩個人既煙火.
係 B 仲考慮緊既時候, 有一日同朋友Z 傾電話, Z 講到話搵對象﹐點解唔搵個自己最鐘意﹐最好既。俾Z 一言驚醒, B 好慎重甘考慮, 終於發現原來自己一直心儀既係STO。但係STO既條件實在好﹐外形瀟灑﹐又有內涵﹐B 很怕旁人虎視耽耽, 會將STO 搶走﹐而且大家來自不同既文化背境﹐B 怕自己唔識得同STO相處。不過為左愛既緣故﹐B 決定冒一次險﹐不計代價﹐與STO發展。
經過幾個月 ﹐B 發現原來呢個選擇好岩。同STO一齊之後﹐B 既生活變得多姿多彩。 因為STO實在優秀﹐每次B 同佢一齊都會惹來不少艷視既目光。每個weekend B 同STO都會同一班朋友一齊去玩﹐最令B 開心既係STO 同B 既好友C 同D 好合得黎﹐好多時都會四個人去玩﹐留下不少快樂既回憶。B 特別感激好友D﹐因為係好友D 既介紹﹐B 先會同STO一齊﹐而當B 唔明白STO點諗既時候﹐好友D 都會不厭其煩甘拔刀相助﹐依家B 同STO甘幸福﹐好友D 居功至偉。
各位讀者﹐愛情係要付出架﹐如果遇到你心儀既對像﹐唔好膽怯啦。因為幸福可能就係你眼前.[+/-] result

twisted logic?!
好奇怪﹐禮拜六有兩個人不約而同地問我點解<四張機>有之一﹐無二﹐三﹐四呀甘。我同個friend聽到都覺得好奇﹐甘個專題由一開始, 好正常﹐二﹐三﹐四係之後架麻。點解無會甘出奇? 莫非大家等唔切﹐好想睇其他既? 當然有人用D twisted 既logic 黎argue 話Star Wars 都係由episode 4 開始啦甘。哈﹐哈﹐我就唔係好buy呢D甘既arguement 啦。 無論如何﹐<四張機之二> 已經有晒腹稿﹐想寫好耐。但係因筆者岩岩係美京兩天笑遙遊回來﹐加上呢兩日檔期好密﹐相信都要等多幾日啦。不過﹐今次會同大家分享一個廿一世紀既現代愛情故事﹐唔再講返維多尼亞時代甘久遠﹐相信大家會有多D共鳴。
天各一方
近排大班同俞錚因為合約既問題攪到滿城風雨﹐因為甘令我諗起亞俞錚獨白既<天各一方>, 哈哈, 唔好問我點解﹐因為真係唔喇更﹐但係somehow每次聽到關於俞錚既野, 我都會諗起呢首經典情歌。真係非常之好聽﹐歌詞又填得好有意思﹐我非常之喜愛﹐曾經好想買返張CD。我記得之後有人翻唱過( Angie, 蔡瀾﹐係邊個呀?), 但係點都唱唔翻果種味道﹐ 獨白都唔夠俞錚講得好。雖然依家佢已經無做DJ好耐﹐但係佢把聲真係好正。
Disclaimer: 大家唔好誤會﹐我無野﹐無感觸﹐無唔開心﹐亦都無人同我天各一方。托賴﹐生活得好好﹐好幸福﹐多謝關心
<天各一方>
主唱:曾路得 / 獨白:俞錚
曲：Herb Alpert 詞：俞錚/丁小菲 編：卡龍/鮑比達
今天你同我天各一方 你有你既生活
我繼續我既忙碌 但假如有一日
我地真係係路上面偶然咁撞倒
我地會點下頭 問候一下 然後已經唔知講乜野好
因為你會發現我已經改變 正如我可能唔再認識你
但係咁其實又有乜野關係呢
我只係知道 係呢一剎那 我係想念你
* 誰令我能情深一片 令我輕柔如水清澈
令我心靈回復恬靜 令我拋棄內心牽掛
重拾往年純潔美夢 讓我心靈重得安慰
讓我安躺月下
其實 乜野先至係真實而恆久既呢
或者我應該就咁保存住呢一份渴望希冀
俾我相信世上有一幸福 垂手可得
又永遠係掌握之外 有時 激情捉係手裡面
會化為灰燼 反而藏係心底 可以歷久常新
貪求思慕只因癡 一切眼淚 思憶都係徒然
Repeat *
四張機之一 Let me count the ways...
蜜運中的男女﹐會用盡各種不同的方法去表達對心上人的愛意。可能在這個互聯網的年代﹐已經沒有人會再寫信﹐寫詩了。但如果你像筆者般仍然堅持﹐你又有沒有用過Elizabeth Barrett Browning 的"
How do I love thee?" 來代表你對他/她的情意? 又或者﹐你是幸運的那位﹐曾經有人向你憑詩寄意。無論如何﹐讀者們又知否在這首詩的背後﹐有著一個動人的愛情故事?
在1845年﹐Elizabeth Barrett 已是一位有名的詩人。四十歲的她﹐獨身﹐因體弱長年留在家中﹐愛情與婚姻對她而言是遙不可及的﹐是鏡花水月﹐是只存在於腦海中的幻想。但在1845年﹐一封由Robert Browning寄來的信將她的一生改變。Browning是一位三十三歲的新晉詩人﹐也是Barrett 的讀者。他們開始書信來往﹐作者與讀者的通信慢慢地發展成為愛情。當Barrett專橫的父親禁止他們結合﹐多年沒有踏出過家門﹐一生在家人照顧下而生活的Elizabeth Barrett, 為著愛情的緣故, 與Robert Browning私奔到意大利. 二人在當地過著幸福的生活﹐直到Elizabeth 於1861年辭世﹐才為他們的愛情故事寫上句號.
愛情﹐給予Elizabeth Barrett Browning 力量去戰勝一切外來的阻力。讀者們又會否因著愛情的緣故﹐而像她一樣願意去付上代價呢?

電話粥
唔知大家多唔多煲電話粥架呢? 我係香港中學既時候每日都會同D friends 傾下電話﹐唔可以用煲粥黎形容﹐但每日我諗都有起碼一個鐘。讀大學之後﹐好少﹐因為D friends 都時時係campus見到﹐無咩需要講電話。而當時打返香港仍然唔平﹐所以亦無再同香港D friend傾電話啦。搬返大費城區之後﹐多番D姊妹﹐講電話亦都多左。不過依家用IM多﹐電話最多都係講一個鐘到﹐都好盡啦。當然如果同外州D朋友就會講耐D﹐兩個幾鐘都有試過。
早前朋友介紹
www.bigzoo.com 俾我﹐係果度買calling card, 相當之平。打返香港﹐講一個鐘都唔使US$1﹐雖然我都好慣IM﹐但係甘平﹐都寧願打電話。全靠個friend 既好介紹﹐我最近同香港既中學好友傾過兩次﹐真係好enjoy, 雖然大家甘多年無傾過偈﹐但一講就欲罷不能, 覺得好親切。相信將來都會打多D俾D海外好友。
唔知大家多唔多打返香港架呢? 最長紀錄既電話粥又有幾長呢? 同埋﹐我都好好奇﹐煲電話粥係咪女仔既專利呢? 男仔又會唔會煲架?
A Twist of Faith
認識我的朋友都知道我十分喜愛
Auntie Anne's 的soft pretzels. 今日在
Christianity Today 的 weekly newsletter 中看到 Auntie Anne's 的創辦人Anne Beiler 的
見證. 原來Auntie Anne's 的成立﹐是由一個家庭的悲劇而開始的。但神的大能將悲轉為喜﹐大家有興趣﹐不妨看看Anne Beiler 的見證. 下次食pretzels, 又會有新的體會。
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Earth crammed with heaven,
And every common bush alive with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
在Rick Warren 的email 中看到這首詩. 詩中的意思相信讀者都能體會﹐希望大家都會如摩西般將鞋脫下﹐而不是只懂得吃黑莓!
其實令我留意這個quote的主要原因是作者Elizabeth Barrett Browning. 很喜愛她的詩﹐何解? 讓我在<四張機>的第一篇中與大家分享吧。不日刊登﹐敬請留意。
問世間情是何物?
從讀者的留言中, 發現愛情故事很能引起大家的共鳴。其實人間有情﹐在我們身邊每一日都不斷地上演緊一齣齣大大小小的愛情影畫戲。有的驚天動地﹐哀怨纏綿﹐荡氣回肠。有的平實而溫馨﹐沒有大起大跌的感情反而更能細水長留。問世間情是何物? 這個問題自從金人元好问作
《摸鱼兒》一詞﹐金庸在
《神雕侠侣》引用了该词的上半阕之後﹐相信不少痴兒女都曾問過﹐筆者也不例外。因著各位的回應﹐令我想到在本網頁開始一個不定期的專題﹐名為<四張機>﹐希望能與大家分享我所看所知的愛情故事。

開卷有益之四...一百好書書目
說好會有<開卷有益之四>﹐起初想談談一些自己看不完的書﹐但早前讓我發現了這個書目:
二十世紀中文小說一百強排行榜
這是亞洲周刊站在全球華人的角度，舉辦「二十世紀中文小說一百強」評選活動，邀請了海內外十四位文學界精英參與，在初選的五百部小說中進行評審，最終選出二十世紀中文小說一百強，在一九九九年六月十四日至六月二十日號的亞洲周刊上公報的。
我在此列舉前十名:
１ 吶喊 魯迅
２ 邊城 沈從文
３ 駱駝祥子 老舍
４ 傳奇 張愛玲
５ 圍城 錢鍾書
６ 子夜 茅盾
７ 台北人 白先勇
８ 家 巴金
９ 呼蘭河傳 蕭紅
１０ 老殘遊記 劉鶚
很慚愧, 十大當中沒一本看過。<吶喊>是有的﹐但好像沒看完﹐或是當時年紀小﹐看完也不明白。<駱駝祥子>與<老殘遊記>應當在中學時讀過節錄的。雖然愛看書﹐但都是看閑書的多﹐經典就很少看。不過在一百強之中﹐也有些是看過的﹐因為一些流行小說如金庸﹐亦舒﹐倪匡﹐李碧華的﹐也榜上有名。
不知在一百強之中﹐大家看過多少? 現在有些網上的小說網﹐大家有沒有興趣﹐組織一個閱讀會﹐一同看一本書﹐然後有些討論呢?
鳴謝: 亞十介紹楊牧谷的<讀書這玩意兒>這書給我﹐亞奶油代我購買。這個排行榜﹐我是在這書中看到的。書中另有一個讀者投票選的一百強﹐但在網上找不到﹐如果大家有興趣﹐請留言﹐我複印這個書目給你。
