我們團結在新經濟的旗幟下前進!!

很久沒有提鼠寫點東西了… 作為一個理應是隨時寫下心情小寫的blog, 實在是不合格有餘。

至於為什麼現在要寫東西? 很簡單，本來想放工，不過某manager 溫馨提示他想在吃完晚飯之後商討客戶事宜，所以惟有滿臉堆笑地答應。

環顧四周，7 點鐘尚未有任何一個人有一絲半點離開的徵兆，無論是最低的A1 還是最高的partner. 我們被告知的是什麼?

Manager A: "你們今年是升職前一年，你想想，要是一個人每天都留到8 、9 點，另外一個準時離開，誰會比較進取? "
Manager B:" 今天要物理治療？5 點半要走? 噢… 康復得怎麼樣? 噢… 那今天早點走吧。來，我們先討論一下這個 provision file。 " 當然，離開辦公室的時候我已經遲到了 1個小時。

我知道很多人會說"食得鹹魚抵得渴"。我也無奈接受，可是最少，我也保留我小小的追問為什麼的權利。

為什麼惟有無盡的OT 才是進取的表現?

為什麼個人健康，休閒娛樂，朋友家庭統統都要讓道予工作?

為什麼工作就是我們生活的最中心? 為什麼想追尋其他的東西就被視為異類?


香港近年的發展有目共睹，蔭權政府雖沒有繼承老董的假大空式口號建港套路，那些赤裸裸的惟經濟至上論也令人掩面歎息。所謂文化發展，就是建立多少間劇院/ 提供多少文康場地，仿佛在玩Simcity -- 哦! 北角建立了粵曲中心，市民文康指數上升10 ，政府支持率上升1% 。預算減少 5,000,000.

一切皆可量化，一切皆可用數字表述，還有什麼比經濟資料更能一目了然的呢? 上有好者，下必有甚之焉。於是乎整個社會都在圍著一個錢字轉轉轉。當然。究竟是政府為經濟之上再先，市民隨之起舞在後還是正正相反? 這可能是本世紀其中一個最能令人爭論不休的論戰。

反正我只知道，那個聲稱7 點回來開會的manager, 現在8 點時還在某處晚餐。

"現在的年輕人，心眼兒裏只有自私，絲毫不想想人家是怎樣辛苦" – 對，若果我是那個 manager, 大概看到這篇文字後會作如斯感想。

So, you think movies are always made perfect? Not always so.
Pay attention to last part, where a stormtrooper did something silly...

飛來橫禍？

上個星期和可愛的安妮去了台灣玩耍，出發前大家都認為這將是一個令人難忘的旅程，不過．．．沒有像現在這般難忘．

就讓我娓娓道來吧：

旅程的第一天：
抵達高雄．飛機窗外的景色其實頗為乏善足陳，跟我想像中的台南城市形象倒是相當符合．


















腳踏實地的感覺和飛機上的確不同，高雄給我最深的感覺是．．．交通混亂．．．
滿街都是機車，和十年前大陸滿街都是自行車的景象相差不遠
最大的問題是似乎都沒有甚麼人在遵守交通規則，紅燈他也動，綠燈他也動．
看來我是能寫出＜車潮＞來了　＝．＝
















話說回來，在這個城市裡走走倒相當賞心悅目，因為生活節奏慢上不少（機車的速度除外）
走到市民會堂前，也能見到這樣的搞鬼ｐｏｓｔｅｒ呢！　
香港政府是不可能用這樣的設計的！





















我忍不住也想Orz 一下呢! XD

逛逛走走, 我們就到了著名(?)的六合夜市,
其實私底下以為, 台灣最出名的還是基本上每個城市都翻版出一個來的夜市.
就好像香港的女人街, 沒有來過的話就不算來過香港, 台灣的夜市亦然.
東西還算好, 算是頗美味的, 有相為證:
甚麼甚麼?...相中那個裝模作樣的怪叔叔? 這個...口胡!!! 受死吧!




















旅程第二天:

今天去佛光山. 很著名的佛教聖地, 而且離高雄也不算遠, 1個多小時的車程而已.
這裡給人的感覺其實相當入世, 也印證了佛教這一世俗宗教的本像.
我印象最深的是無所不在的佛光茶, 當你走了一段路, 感到口干舌燥的時候, 就會有一個免費的茶水供應點等著你. 這種程度的體貼可不是一般旅遊點想到的.
這是在山門留的倩影: 這是飛天的姿勢嘛? 好像有點差異耶...














上圖乃翻版
































此乃正版 =.=

有鑒於純粹發佈女孩子的照片有欠風度, 附上本人玉照一張, 以示公允





















雖說是佛門聖地, 但印象最深刻的反而不是那些金碧輝煌的佛像, 而是像這樣的寫意環境:
我和安妮都為此而懾服呢
正是 疏影橫斜水清淺 暗香浮動月黃昏
好詩, 好詩.
看看她拍下的佳作吧 :D




















佛光山一游令人印象深刻, 雖說難免有點刻意營造的出世情懷, 但畢竟人文的關懷還能令人感動.
可是下午的景點就有點令人皺眉, 因為縈繞 在景點周圍的是揮之不去的斧鑿痕跡.
下面的是龍虎塔, 游人被建議從龍口(右塔) 進入, 從虎口(左塔)出去.
塔內的壁畫是些地獄景象和聖賢圖. 這跟虎豹別墅毫無二至.
所以看起來興味索然.















比較起來, 楊柳美女圖更加吸引一些:D




















晚上嘛...游愛河. 氣氛還好, 只是河岸兩邊沒有甚麼可以看的上演的建築物.















當天印象最深的甚麼? 佛光山? 也對, 不過風光秀麗也在估計之中.
我最記得的, 反而是這個:




















是酒店樓下賣的小甜品呀 :P
好好味! 當天最大驚喜!!

旅程第三天

此次去台南, 最大的心願還是陽光與海灘, 墾丁呀!!!!
好野!!!

所謂仁者樂山, 智者樂海. 下海前還是享受一下山林的陶冶吧.
原始森林耶 @@




















所謂...樂極生悲, 就是這樣:
















車禍受傷, 左腿三處骨折....
就這樣, 我的台南之旅...就這樣了...我的陽光與海灘...

後續
跟著的幾天只能在旅店裡呆著, 連一粒沙子都沒有見過...
幸好有安妮無微不致的照顧, 才令這幾天沒那麼難過
m(_ _)m

下一次!!! 下一次一定不會這麼失策的!!
我要和妳一起去另外的陽光與海灘來彌補這次的遺憾!

Baby?

Got this somewhere on the web. It makes me to think alot, what about you? ;)

20 Reasons Not to Have Children

1. Birth. Imagine pushing a grapefruit through your anus. Imagine it taking ten hours. Imagine that after ten hours of trying to push a grapefruit through your anus and failing that doctors cut a big hole in your belly to remove the grapefruit. Don't believe anyone who says that they forget all about it in a few months.
2. Responsibility. All of life's prior responsibilities pale in comparison. If you decide to have a child, that new person must absolutely be your top priority. As your child will remind you when he or she is older and something goes wrong, "I didn't ask to be born." A child is a life long commitment to a person who is innocent of this choice.
3. Diapers. Disposable diapers these days absorb lots of liquid, and they don't leak. But you still have to change hundreds of them. Often they contain more than liquid. As the child gets older, diapers become smellier and bigger tasks. Then there is toilet training, with its inevitable setbacks and accidents.
4. 3am wakeups. Caring for a child takes a lot of physical and emotional energy, made all the harder by babies that only sleep for ninety minutes at a time. Many parents of much older children seem to forget how hard the first few months were as they look at the past with rose colored glasses. Don't believe them. Parents need sleep to work well, and they often can't get it.
5. Hard on marriages. A baby takes so much time and attention that spouses must already have a great friendship and work well together before the baby arrives. It is a certainty that one spouse will disagree with the other about decisions on how to care for the child. It is likely that one spouse will resent the lost time with the other. A marriage with some difficulties will get much worse when a baby is crying and the parents are sleep deprived.
6. Advice. Total strangers leap forward to offer advice about how to raise your child. Most of the advice is contradictory and flat out wrong. Strangers will be much easier to ignore than your friends and family, many of whom have raised children quite successfully. Some advice you may want, but lots of it will be unsolicited and unappreciated.
7. Changed relationships. When your family expands by the addition of a child, your relationships with everyone, and I mean everyone, changes. Your child is at the forefront of most of your thoughts, and those people without children cannot relate. Those people with children are finally happy to see that you can relate. Everyone will watch how you raise your child and will at some point cluck and disapprove, including those who raised ten children and those who raised none. Some strong bonds will weaken, some friends will not been seen again. Some may improve, but with your energies and devotions directed towards your child, that is much less likely.
8. Free time. You will have none. Most time not spent with your child will be spent catching up on work you need to get done. You and your spouse must carefully plan any time away from your child, and very little can be done spontaneously. To pretend otherwise is probably neglectful of either your child or your spouse.
9. Worry. Parents always worry about their children, monitoring how fast they reach each milestone and how well they grow, eat, sleep, crawl, walk, read, make friends, and so on. And yet there is little a parent can do beyond allow a child to proceed at his or her own pace. It can be frustrating and scary when your child isn't eating well, or cannot read at his or her grade level, or is socially inept.
10. Money. Children are expensive in several ways. One parent loses wages while caring for a child. Children need to eat and be clothed. They need toys with which to explore the world. They need health care, they need education, they need activities and hobbies. They will need car insurance. The proper raising of a child is not cheap.
11. Laundry. Children do not contribute to household chores until they are older, and even then they generate more work than labor. Having a child means that your living space will need more cleaning than before, not only as your child makes a mess of it but also because you cannot let your child crawl around in dust and dirt. Your child will find all sorts of vile things to put in his or her mouth in the cleanest of homes. Your laundry and dishes will double, and you will do all the picking up after your child for many years.
12. Tantrums. Many times you will tell your child that they cannot have what they want, and they will scream to get you to change your mind. You will need to avoid saying "no" as much as possible, but then stick to your decision when you do. Otherwise you will encourage tantrums. However, younger children cry because that is the only way they have to express themselves, and you need to be attentive. It becomes difficult judging when a child is having a serious problem and when he or she is having a tantrum. Tantrums are not just for two-year-old children, they will continue for years in many different forms as your child will attempt to change your mind. At some point children figure out how to get what they want despite you, and that opens another can of worms.
13. Rebellion. Children need to assert their independence and individuality. All will feel stifled in some way by their parents or other authority figures, and they will attempt to subvert the dominant hegemony. Didn't you? It usually isn't pretty.
14. Dissonance. Lots of adults do not get along with their parents. Perhaps they forget all the work that their parents put into raising them, or perhaps they resent that the work that their parents did was not enough. At some point your child will probably be very angry with you, and may even hate you for years. This is not uncommon, and you know it because you can name a dozen people who don't get along with their own parents.
15. Pain. Your child will cry and you won't know why or how to fix it. You will mess up and let your child get hurt. You won't be there and your child will get hurt. Your child will get really sick. Your child will fail at something and feel humiliated and worthless. Guaranteed. The world is a hard place on everyone, especially small, naive, fragile people.
16. 6 billion. The world is already overpopulated. Do you really have to add to it? Do not answer this question lightly. Every new human draws on our limited resources, tramples over previously undamaged land, creates more waste, and accelerates worldwide instability.
17. Failed expectations. You may expect your child to be interested in things that fascinate you, and then be disappointed. You may be brilliant and your child may be dull. You may be athletic, unhappy to discover that your child has trouble walking a straight line. Your child may abandon your religion or main beliefs. Your child may grow up to be someone you have very little in common with. In fact, your child will definitely not be a little version of you. Any thoughts about what kind of person you want your child to be are wasted thoughts, and probably detrimental.
18. Lost freedom. People without children can easily pack up and move. They can be without work or change careers. They can break up with their partners and find new ones. Children, while often flexible, must be accounted for in all major life changes. In fact, they demand that the world not change around them so fast while their own understanding of the world grows and changes at the same time. Stability and routine allows a child to explore life from a vantage of safety and consistency. You must be willing to give your child such stability at the cost of your own freedom.
19. Hard work. Raising a child takes more than love and time. You must concentrate on all methods of communication that your child attempts so that you may properly understand his or her needs and wants. You must introduce your child to new stimulation and situations regularly. You have to figure out best ways to teach your child at each age, what to teach them, and when to teach. You must be available and responsive to your child even when you are tired or sad or very busy.
20. The unthinkable. The death of a child, while unlikely, is devastating. It often destroys marriages, as both spouses need comfort that the other cannot provide. Frequently one parent will blame the other. So much emotion, time, and energy gets poured into a child that to lose it all at once is crippling. Many well meaning people say hurtful and stupid things in a misguided attempt to help. This is one case where it is better to not have loved at all than to have loved and lost.

10 Reasons to Have Children

1. They're cute. In fact, your own child is adorable. Every sigh, every laugh, every motion is bliss. You fall in love with them.
2. Re-experiencing childhood. Regardless of how good your own childhood was, your child allows you to vicariously relive childhood. Usually it's much better the second time around, when you have all the wisdom of age but can enjoy the energy of youth. Playing with a two-year-old feels like being two years old again.
3. Learning. Watching your child learn is fascinating and fun. Each new skill or idea or word learned is a little victory. If you watch carefully, you will see that something new is discovered or conquered every single day. Your child will need to learn a lot from you, as he or she starts without much knowledge at all except for perfect sense of his or her feelings. While you are busy teaching your child about practical aspects of the world, your child will be teaching you emotional sensitivity. The active teaching and learning process is rewarding and fulfilling.
4. Reflection. Everything that you already can do probably take for granted, but your child will remind you that all those skills had to be learned. It reminds you of how far you have come in life, and shows you the sorts of difficulties you probably had when you were your child's age. Your child will also notice things that you have long since filtered out. I didn't realize how many birds there were outside my house until my daughter showed me.
5. Reincarnation. Your genetic makeup is a small part of your identity. More important are your ideas, beliefs, manners, and stories. All of these things will be taken up by your child and then changed around. Your child will never be a clone of yourself, fortunately, but instead will be a new variation of you and the other people that raise him or her. If you like yourself then this is very satisfying.
6. Socializing. Every society has a subculture for people who raise children. At every age you can find people also raising a child in a similar situation. You can make many new friends with whom you have a lot in common. The comradely and shared experiences ease some difficulties.
7. Control. You must not tell other people how to raise their own children. However, if you raise your own child, you get to do it your way, which you presumably believe is the right way. People might disagree with your methods, but if you have thought at great length about it--and you should if you plan on having a child--then you probably have good reasons for all the decisions you will have to make. When you find that your methods are not perfect, which you will, you can change them appropriately.
8. Adoption. There are lots of children in the world without parents. Adopting a child is an excellent way to greatly improve the life of someone who would have a very hard time otherwise.
9. Entertainment. Children have lots of energy and can be lots of fun. They develop imaginations, a sense of humor, and lots of excitement. Little kid laughs are infectious. Playing with children is very enjoyable.
10. Love. You are the center of your child's world, and as much as you may love and need your child, he or she will love you more. Children that are shown love and affection show it back many times over.

憂耶，喜耶?

最近在做某大型銀行的 tax provision, 親身的感受永遠比雜誌上的知識切身得多。
人說國内各銀行不良資產繁多，内部管理混亂且賬目不清，真的如此嗎?
以一個年營業額為100億人民幣的銀行來説，不良資產居然有500億之多，不可不謂觸目驚心!

可是什麽叫危機? 這個銀行在今年6月份的時候進行了不良資產的剝離。所謂剝離，就是將這批不良資產統統賣給第三方的大型資產管理中心。 如此的話，就能擺脫這一大筆不良資產。
這不可不謂大刀闊斧，但是成效如何?

我不知道，因爲我們現在正在見證中國轉型期的歷史性時刻。是成是敗，歷史自有公論。我
們能做的，就是為這些一個又一個大膽的行動呐喊助威吧 :D

吾不欲觀之

本來想寫一些輕鬆一點的文字, 或者是針貶時弊的短文
不過很明顯的, 由於自己沒有任何精力去故作風趣/睿智.
還是算了吧.

只是希望留下一點點紀錄, 我現在好累...好累...
tax pro, IPO, advisory, 全部明天要交貨.
OT到幾點不是問題, 但是成品的質素令人憂心...
嗯, 還是早點睡覺吧,不然明天不知道該怎麼過

巴士狂潮

最近這個月, 香港最流行的話題是甚麼?
不用問, 一定是巴士啊叔.
起因只不過是一段在Youtube的短片, 片中一個貌似TVB評述員林尙義的阿叔以高分貝和極度流暢的粗口和歪理痛斥一名毫無還擊之力的四眼後生仔.

這個是最原始的片段:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76I82ZBtBJ0&search=%E5%B7%B4%E5%A3%AB%E9%98%BF%E5%8F%94

然後一發而不可收拾, 片中的 "你有壓力, 我有壓力, 你做咩挑釁我啊?" "未解決, 未解決, 未解決!!!"
"你好好打咩? 士多啤梨!!" 成為城中佳話.

於是, 出現了如下的versions:

煞科卡拉OK版

少爺占DJ版

雙語字幕版(翻譯的不錯 @@)

普通話字幕版

四眼仔當事人回應 part1

四眼當事人回應part2


還有更多的, 不過, 懶得再貼出來了.

不得不提的是, 熱潮衝出香港走向國際, 連紐約時報也有報導 =.=

紐約時報
節選:-

''I don't know you. You don't know me. Why do you do this?'' the infuriated bus rider says, punctuating the sentence by jabbing his right hand downward in the air.

When the young man, who rarely talks back during the lengthy argument, expresses an unwillingness to continue the conversation, the middle-aged man explodes, ''This is not resolved! This is not resolved! This is not resolved!'' -- which has now become a catch phrase in Hong Kong.

He goes on to say, ''I face pressure. You face pressure. Why did you provoke me?''

Shall We talk

夜半無人私語時

現在我在公司。
的確很晚了，但全都是咎由自取，誰讓我跑去看戯加買mon呢?
明天一早又要去東莞，然後回來又有數不盡的工作在等待。這就是我的日程。
不要再慨嘆了，因爲工作是你自己選的，選擇玩樂而拒絕OT也是你選的，那麽你還在痛苦什麽?
安妮...多謝你這些日子帶給我的快樂，那是無與倫比的。
咦, 感謝文寫的跟分手紀念一樣，看來我是太累了呢 ~.~
沒有靈感, 自從上班以後，就沒有靈感了. 還是快快OT完回家睡覺吧...來日方長

兄弟

最近剛看完了余華的小說[兄弟]下集. 實在多少有點百感交集.
上集是去年在上海training的時候買來看的, 看的時候沒有心理準備這會是怎樣的一本書.
就是這本書, 令我度過了兩個涕淚交集的夜晚.
兄弟上集是以文革做背景的悲情故事.
兩兄弟並不是親兄弟, 他們的父母親, 一個是高大英俊的工人領袖. 一個是終日以淚洗面的寡婦.
寡婦之所以變成寡婦, 是因為她那遊手好閒的丈夫在廁所裡偷看白花花的女人屁股時一不小心淹死在糞池裡.
從此她帶著個沾染了亡夫不良習氣的兒子孤苦伶仃, 直到遇上了那位開朗的工人.
婚姻生活幸福美滿, 母慈子孝, 舉案齊眉, 白頭到老, 可喜可賀!
well..要是這樣的話, 我還可能會流淚嗎?
之後的情形急轉直下, 母親身患絕症, 父親被捲入文革洪流中, 由紅五類變成現行反革命, 受盡折磨.
最令人動容的, 是那些配角.
兒子被無知紅衛兵赤手空拳地活活打死, 喪失了最後一點求生希望的父親用鐵釘貫腦自殺.
母親呢? 兒子被人打死, 丈夫被關起來毫無音訊, 終於盼到了消息, 卻是領屍...
這樣的悲慘情節貫穿整個後半部分, 可悲的是, 我無法分辨這是紀實文學還是虛構情節.
因為如此這般的故事, 在文革時代不是子虛烏有, 而是俯拾皆是.
那是一個鐵血的年代. 那真是一個令人扼腕的年代, 多少國人為此白費了生命, 而我們離他們卻漸行漸遠.

我願兄弟的故事, 不要在神州大地重演.

又見Annual Din

昨天晚上...喝了太多酒呢...
這大概叫失態吧.
但是一年一度的annual dinner, 見到那些幾個月也見不到的朋友們, 難道又可以拒絕他們的盛情?
有些去了海南島, 三個月都和椰林樹影作伴.
有的立下決心, annual dinner 當晚作別公司.
還有的雖然同在一個辦公室, 但每天見面也只是hi, bye.
這真是一個奇怪的場合. 我也變得奇怪了.
請原諒我.

交心

Ctrl. Alt. Del.
昨天剛剛從廣州回來, 馬不停蹄要去拯救我的安妮.
對於身陷婚宴的她來說, 我除了把她從無數叔伯的色迷迷眼光中搶回來外, 我還能做甚麼?
之後去了銅鑼灣的一間sake bar喝酒, 日本的清酒的確比中國的白酒容易入口, 轉眼間兩瓶一共1L的酒杯我和她, 加上她的密友fiona幹掉了.
fiona是個很有趣的人, 可能因為沒有把我當作外人看待的關係, 講話非常真誠, 也無比辛辣.
基本上將現代都市女性的諸般不平都像機關槍一般噴射了出來. 我嘛, 見怪不怪了 =.=b
之後...
之後...
之後...
就到了今天, 我和她去了shopping 和看戲, shopping 還ok, 因為我自己也要買東西, 而movie是wonderful的.
四大天王實在是一出無比辛辣的香港娛樂圈仿紀錄片cult片王.
沒有比它更優秀的娛樂片了.

給安妮

我要睡了...但是我輾轉反側. 還是決定起來寫一些東西. 寄盼這樣可以稍稍緩解一下自己緊繃的情緒.
妳知道嗎? 我的天使, 這一段時間來,妳令我灰白色的生活重新綻放色彩.
這幾年來我一直在期盼, 我一直在等待, 我不知道我在等待甚麼, 現在我知道了這個等待的意義.
是妳啊. 我的安妮.
難道妳覺得這不是天意嗎? 難道妳覺得這只是巧合嗎? 難道我們重新相遇, 只是上帝為我們開的一個玩笑?
不是啊, 我的安妮.
我們都經歷了這樣那樣的痛苦, 我們都體會了如此這般的甜蜜, 我們都成長了.
這就是我們的曾經分離帶給我們的禮物.
對我來說, 過去的一切都是祝福, 這樣的苦痛, 那樣的甜酸, 都建構了現在的我.
所以啊, 我的安妮,
妳不必為過去的事情煩憂, 妳接受也好, 迴避也罷, 那些都已經深深地刻印在妳的人生上.
我愛上的,就是這樣的妳.
這樣的安妮.

晚安, 我的安妮.

此刻無語

well...昨天的一天還真是緊張刺激皆有之.
星期五晚上OT到12:30,早上一早8:30就又回到公司了, 看來公司真的應該認真考慮一下增設員工暫休室的建議了. Orz
既是上班, 那也不必細細描述其中的過程了, 難道真的有人會有興趣想知道對某國有大型銀行稅前利潤進行調整的詳細流程?
總之一路下來無驚無險就到了晚上下班.
然後是見家長.
woot!
撇除第一次見家長而引起的些許不安和拘謹, 整體而言還勉強過關.
總之當你不知所措的時候, 閉嘴! 保持微笑! 大概就能過關 .\\ //.
見完之後呢? well...我待人以誠

A short break from work

Now it's lunch time, and i have to stay here for an emergency (well...not really) engagement.
It's too damn natrural that i have to surf on the net to kill some time.
So here you are, the legendary Magician, David Copp... Chestfield???

Hail Auditor !

這是一個奇怪的一天．
起初manager叫我回公司,星期六, 日加班把某集團的tax re test 準備好.
誰知auditor居然還沒把最新的數據提供給我們, 結果就是今天白白跑了公司一趟, 而毫無所獲...

剛買回來的ipod 果然利害, 除了電池工作時間增長外, video 功能也相當不俗.
不過最令人驚喜的反而是附送的6000首mp3, 包羅萬象, 從classical 到hip hop甚至革命歌曲都有!
最喜歡的還是classic meets cuba 的改編古典音樂, 將莫札特到蕭邦的名曲全都譜上加勒比海風情的變奏.
最最喜歡的呢? 當然是annie! 呃...不, 現在在講音樂, 咳咳(清清喉嚨), 是貝多芬的Salsa No. V.
為甚麼? 嗯哼... 我自己才知道哦~~

ok, i'm in love

今天是一個無法用筆墨形容的一天.
早上得知Ben Ben 人間蒸發, 下午去了poly看熱火朝天的中學生比賽, 晚上欣賞了一場相當出色的香港管弦樂團音樂會.
但是這些都不值一提.
今天唯一值得刻骨銘心的是, 我愛annie.
沒有其他可以補充的了.

零六年夏初未至

是夏天了麼?
心中的煩躁不安是怎麼一回事?
天氣嗎? 或許. 套用六祖的故事:
有一天在廣州法性寺，印宗法師正在講涅槃經，那時候風正吹著旛動。有一個和尚說風在動；另一個和尚卻說旛在動。於是便辯了起來。那時候六祖慧能來到道場，卻說：“不是風動，不是旛動，是人的心在動''
或許吧.

Monday syndrome? Tuesday sydndrome!

昨晚輾轉反側, 結果今天早上起床的時候還是未能抵禦周公的強力呼喚.
結果很自然的, 再次屈服於自己內心的呼喚, 請了半天假在家裡呼呼大睡.
好歹下午還能回到公司兢兢業業(真的嗎?)
假期症候群可真恐怖...無怪乎英國某調查指出, 長假期後第一個工作天的病假率將會飆升.
=================
最近迷上了五十年前的科幻小說, 沙丘三部曲.
好看是不必提的了, 我忍不住也要將內裡的一段比.吉斯特禱辭分享一下
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

— Frank Herbert, Dune
何等的禪味深重! 我第一次為在西方小說中發現的東方智慧而懾服, 看來我是太低估了西方文學的博大精深了

@@! 好味！

今天去了一間頗令人喜出望外的餐廳呢，正所謂真金不怕烘爐火，沒到下午茶dessert buffet的時間, 尖沙嘴COVA的門口已經排滿了人龍呢!...才怪 Orz
沒有人龍啦! 7,8個等候的熱心市民倒是有的.
實際上這是我第一次吃甜品自助餐, 本來想著會不會太甜膩, 而且公司樓下也有COVA, 那裡的西餅已經吃到麻木了 =.=
但是! 原來甜品自助餐的menu 並不是西餅! 而是些很精巧的慕絲啊, 芝士蛋糕啊, 加了飛蟲的西柚汁啊...呃...? 飛蟲 ? ¯\(º_o)/¯
我: 口胡!! 經理給我出來!!
經理: 咩事? (鬼祟貌)
我: (指)
經理: 豈有此理, 本店乃1840年創立的玄門正宗! 豈能容忍此等事情?! 來人! 狗頭鍘伺侯, 給我鍘了那個侍應!
