春嬌與盛女

近日香港娛樂界 number one 話題,不是香港電影金像獎(它沒有另我的facebook洗版),而是電影界的《春嬌與志明》及電視界的《盛女愛作戰》。

《春嬌與志明》是一部香港電影,講述春嬌與志明的愛情故事,即使北上了,仍帶着濃濃的香港氣味。

《盛女愛作戰》是香港的少數reality show,講述五位盛女怎樣裝備自己尋找心目中的另一半。

這倆有什麼關係?

有!春嬌,香港盛女,有自己的事業,因工作而北上,與志明分手後沒着落,好友Brenda帶她到公園的父母相親會。

(我去過北京,但竟錯過了這個大會!!!)

同樣相親,《春嬌與志明》比reality show來得更真實,沒有什麼人生教練、兩性關係導師、整形、45度扮斯文,有的是直接、現實的資料交換。

怎樣直接?還記得在公園裡的相親對話嗎?

男方媽媽:我才不要兒子去香港。
女方代表:她在國貿那家化妝店當店長,月賺幾萬塊。
男方媽媽聽後,急忙轉口:我家有房子在東直門、西城區。
女方代表更直接:還房貸了嗎?
男方媽媽口袋裡有着兒子的檔案,隨手便可交換電話號碼。

這樣清楚直接,比香港更快捷現實,不需什麼裝模作樣、上課整容,更是免費的!而且媽媽挑選過後,即使日後有什麼婆媳糾紛,兒子大可說句:這是你選擇的。這種相親方法,實在值得香港人借鏡。

可惜再能反映現實,《春嬌與志明》也只是一部電影...... 現實欠缺了富二代徐崢及型男黃曉明。

但這有沒有帶給香港盛女北上的衝動?

Hong Kong Starbucks

I like coffee but not necessarily with a brand name.

My friend from Australia came visit and I was looking for a  place to have a drink and chat. I wanted to have something with more local accent but a regular Cha Chaan Teng (Hong Kong/Western style restaurant) might not let us sit around for that long. And here was my choice...

A new Starbucks in Mongkok with the movie and art theme



and reminding us the old days.

St. Mathia's Journey 聖馬弟亞之旅

I have been listening to the radio show that Mathia talks about his collections and I finally...
我一直有留意守政在電台講及他的收藏品,今天終於...

Oratori Production House / St. Mathia's Journey

I do recommend people to go since the collections remind my childhood and the old days in Hong Kong. Plus, Mathia does explain the collections and his concepts. He welcomes all kinds of suggestions and comments.
我真想推薦朋友們去,因可重拾兒時回憶及舊日香港。而且守政會詳細講述他的收藏品與理念,又歡迎各樣意見。

I didn't take a lot of pictures...
我沒拍太多照片...

Tailor-made! 度身訂造
The toys are my favorite. 玩具是我的至愛
I used to have this. 這我從前也有

Bloody Reward 血報

These are the gifts after taking a special action --- Blood Donation!

I hadn't done it for a while due to certain limitations. When I was ready a few weeks ago, I couldn't figure out where the donation centers were. And today, while I was running on the treadmill at the gym, looking outside, the billboard was just right across street.

And so I went without hesitation.

I was pretty surprised how crowded it was. People were all having good hearts. The lady sitting next to me was even more kind-hearted since she was scared thought I didn't know what exactly her fears were. I was proud of her.

The other surprise was, not the gifts showing on top, but bumping into a high school friend of mine who I hadn't met for 20 years!!! And she just landed yesterday and was going to stay for a few days!!! (That was the reason why she didn't post on FB.) We talked sooooo much!!!

What a good reward! Go give blood!

這些小禮物來自今天的特別行動 --- 捐血!

因為種種原因,很久沒捐血了。這陣只,心裡總是想着,但又摸不著捐血中心的所在地。今天,在gym的treadmill上跑呀跑時,中心的廣告牌就出現在眼前。

就這樣毫不猶豫地去了。

一踏入,第一個驚喜是很多人,很多有善心的人。坐我旁邊的女人更是善中之善,因她害怕但還是要來捐血,給個讚!

另一個驚喜,不是圖片上的禮物,而是碰上了二十年沒見的中學同學,她昨天剛抵達,只打算留港數天。就這樣給我碰上了,談個不完。

好心有好報!捐血吧!

清明‧氣不清景不明

我是一隻夜貓,不愛早睡,當然不能早起。

今天一早卻被砰砰硼硼的炮仗聲弄醒了。新年?不是,是清明!

究竟從那時起連清明節也要燒炮仗?難道清明也要趕猛獸?也許趕鬼比較到題點。

既然睡不了,便查證!!!

《曆書》:「春分後十五日,斗指丁,為清明,時萬物皆潔齊而清明,蓋時當氣清景明,萬物皆顯,因此得名。」乃祭祖的四大節慶之一。

為什麼現在要燒炮仗?弄至氣不清景不明???

後人呀,後人呀,請給你們的祖先一點清靜,明不明?

今晚打邊爐時,有位四歲小朋友問我,為什麼蝦煮熟後會變色?他前途無可限量,因他曉得問為什麼。

沒錯,蝦煮熟會由灰灰啡啡變成橙色。

那我反問他,牛肉煮熟候會變成什麼顏色?

他說不知道。我鼓勵他猜猜,他說灰色。

對,蝦未煮前就像牛肉熟的顏色,灰灰啡啡,蝦熟了以後就像牛肉生時那樣紅紅橙橙。

很聰明,答個相反便是。

你想到什麼?

A變B,C變D,A像B,B像C,C像D,D像A,A與C風馬牛不相及,B與D又各不相干。

還是......

當擁有自己的一切時,就想學像別人;當得到手以後,卻常緬懷過去。

當日子變得平實了以後,有時會尋求轉變;當日子太刺激時,便想安定下來。

當沒有工作時,便想天跌下一份工作;當有工作時,總想放長假。

當身壯力健時,會自殘身體(不眠、喝酒、抽煙);當躺在病榻上,又後悔自己不好好珍惜。

這種變會不斷重複。

為什麼?

究竟我們不知道自己要什麼?還是只想尋求轉變?還是從來不曉得滿足?

究竟我們喜歡生蝦、熟牛肉、熟蝦、還是生牛肉?他們各有各精彩,同樣美味可口,只要挑選自己喜歡的便可以了。當然,人家有的不代表自己也需要。生蝦不是熟牛肉,熟了不能起死回生,吃了吐出來狀況也不一樣,但一經選定了便不應怨天尤人!

變不是在於好與壞,只在於選擇應變。

Wet Market 街市

I finally went to the wet (traditional) market in my neighborhood which I have passed by million times. Not that I don't have to buy food but I prefer supermarkets. Why? Cos supermarkets are neat and clean and without that "special" smell. BUT... whenever I go to other countries, even in the third world, I love to visit their wet markets and take pictures. What kind of concepts do I have in mind? How come I never take pictures of my local markets? Maybe I should try but would I be beaten up?

Actually, the wet markets are better since the people there love to get to your personal needs.

我終於去了住所附近的街市,這街市我已經路過千千萬萬遍,每次都過門不入,不是不用買食物,只是我較喜歡超級市場。原因何在?因為超級市場比較整齊清潔,沒有那般怪怪的氣味。但是,當我到別處旅遊時,即使到落後的國家,卻不得不到當地的街市逛逛、拍照。真的想不透腦袋裝着什麼,為什麼自家的卻不稍一顧?也許是時候拍個照... 但會被打嗎?

其實街市裡的人真不錯,因他們有體貼的一面。

醜聞‧大話

今日睇facebook有呢個好有創意嘅post:
真係欣賞佢嘅聯想力。

人係人,唔係神,總會犯錯,但係唔緊要,最重要係學識點樣去面對。如果係公眾人物,更加要小心,一舉一動都會成為焦點。唔係一定要去樹立榜樣,但係都唔好教壞細路。

當然佢嘅政綱冇話唔可以講大話,但應對能力,對於一個地方嘅首領真係好重要。揭醜聞呢家嘢,响絕大多數嘅選舉都會發生,唔好話美國,就算隔離台灣,真係鑊鑊新鮮鑊鑊甘,但人地面對醜聞價嘅能力真係得體好多。

點解人地答得咁好咁得體?呢個可能同能力有關,但唔可以忽視成個團隊。冇一個人可以獨自處理成個地方,一定要一班人。噉究竟係佢同佢嘅團隊溝通有問題,定係佢嘅團隊幫唔到佢?又或者佢覺得自己絕對攪得掂,唔駛人幫?

如果係佢同團隊溝通有問題,死火,自己揀都溝通唔到。如果係佢嘅團隊幫唔到佢,唉,咁細un嘅嘢都做得唔好,第日點選政府班底。如果係覺得自己絕對攪得掂,噉香港就真係冇乜希望,慘過董年代。

當然佢唔係後者,佢有搵人幫,只不過冇乜人睇得過眼佢嘅做法。(佢老婆真係好偉大,犧牲小我,完成大我。)
 
講大話真係要好有能力,唔單只要有急才、口才、演技,仲要記性好,記得先前講過嘅嘢,如果冇噉嘅'talent',最好都係慳噃。

不過我諗佢都學到,所以依家揀唔答。
 
如果佢唔選特首,其實真係可以'一笑置之'...
 


志雲大師好嘢!

My friend asked me to do this for his first radio show...

陳志雲回歸

他遇上了麻煩。
他回到tbb的綱位繼續工作。
他辭職。
他請假遊學。

他回港即有工作,連遊學 part 2 也要擱置。
他有才能,也有名氣。
名氣真係好駛好用,有能力都要比人知。

願他工作快樂平安。

Truths or Lies... What Do You Prefer???

It always makes me happy when meeting with high school friends.

At a gathering today, my friend's husband, who I met the very first time and I like him very much, told me something that's very true...

At this part of the world, when meeting someone new, people usually assume that (of course not referring to this friend of mine)...

"你冇可能講真話!" (There is no way that you are telling the truth!)

What he said completely expressed what I had experienced...

(I was thinking about posting it on facebook... guess not.)

Well, this is me... I DON'T like lies... (I am not referring to the Tong's case.)

Thank You Mr. Tong 多謝唐生

Top News of today! (English version)

Thanks be to Tong from various group:

- Husbands: Whenever my wife complains, I can claim that I am already a very good husband. At least I have never grabbed her to stand in front of the public to suck all though I make the same mistakes.

- Wives: I finally realized my husband is extremely gentle and kind... and he is a 'real' man.

- Kids: Whenever I lie and get caught by my mom, I can tell her that I am just copying from the chief executive to be.

- Designers/Artists: I get a lot of ideas everyday... unlimited.

- Entrepreneurs: I get lots of opportunites (if in the industry of renovation, construction equipment, storaging, wine... Actually, there was a wine salesperson trying to sell his stuff to Tong.)

- Reporters: I can get an experience of standing on a crane to oversee all the palaces in the rich neighborhood though I will never be able to get one.

- Other candidates: Thank you. No one picks on me now...

- Other unconfirmed candidates: I think I will join the election since I have received a lot of messages in these couple days saying that I am better and more trustworthy.

- Mrs. Tong: Everyone thinks that I am the greatest wife of all. I can talk and act better than the chief executive to be!!! Super Star!!!

男與女的好結果

受Concert YY的影響,今天再上youtube去懷舊一翻。

男與女兩個大不同的你沒有好結果。

李蕙敏

黃耀明


同樣對愛人的恨,男與女的分別可以很大(從演譯的角度看)。女來得歇斯底里,內心毫無保留的宣洩出來,由頭帶到未;男則要把感情忍藏,抑壓的恨也許要等到最後才叫喊兩聲,也許苦永遠只有自己知。

很喜歡李蕙敏和黃耀明,他們演譯得很好,也想不到其他歌手可取代。不知他們會否合唱?

那些年 @ Concert YY

我沒有買票看黃偉文作品展 Concert YY。

只好在 Youtube 上懷念一下當年情。。。

有我愛的明哥+彭羚。


還有想當年所有香港女人都懂唱的(你沒有)好結果+活得比你好。


你沒有好結果

作曲:Keith Yip
填詞:黃偉文
編曲:蔡德才
傷了的女人 別走這樣近 
被人拋棄的女人殘忍
全都怪你離開我 臨走也繼續傷我 
見我粉身碎骨 還點上一把火

可以死了心 但忍不住恨 
但求天會追究這男人
仍相信有場好戲 命中已注定等你 
報應日漸臨近來清算你罪行

今天淌血是我心 即將痛在你心 
身份對調發生
來讓你一生最喜歡和珍惜那人 
也摧毀你一生完全沒半點惻隱

#等欣賞你被某君 一刀插入你心 
加點眼淚陪襯
來讓你清楚我當初嘗到的折磨 
也親身試清楚如凡事亦有因果

這算不算狠 我撫心自問 
無人想變得那麼殘忍
如果見你離開我 日子更快樂的過 
我會傷得更深 餘生也不甘心

Repeat #

將當天那自卑感 當天那無依感 
都雙倍回贈你
來讓你清楚我當初嘗到的折磨 
也親身試清楚如凡事亦有因果

活得比你好

作曲:葉健華 
作詞:黃偉文
編曲:葉健華/麥皓輪

在那一年 是你離開了我
令我低估自己 自信心往下沉
是那一年 自我沉溺放縱
為你摧毀肉身 為你遭遢靈魂
跌到了最暗處 人忽爾明了
賠掉我一生 未見得使你關心
明日我必須振作 這段情當作
從未發生 (從沒有傷我心)
然後每一天 活得好你一點
來讓你今天碰見 那日離棄我 原是你損失
事隔幾年 在眼前這個我
活得比你更好 (還多得你鼓舞)

New Year New Start

Time to start over again.

I had spent the past few months travelling and posted photos/journey on facebook.

Here, the Blogger... I am back.
