MBA....

總算對自己有個OK交代啦。。。


 
"停"學也有四個月了,讀書嘅日子好似已經係好耐世紀之前嘅事。。。其實,比想像中放低得更容易。昔日常見嘅同窗,也有好一段日子無見面了。
 
反正,我們每人其實在讀書前都是自己忙自己的,更何況而家唔駛上堂,有D回去上學前嘅生活;更多 engage and began the next phrase in life.

And we're never the same. We passed our crossroad and now it's time to depart from each other and go on our journey, on our own, again...
 
Still glad to have a chance to know the everyone of you, from welcome drinks, to orientation, endless powerpoint, presentation, and many other fun drinking karaoke times.  It was an interesting experience, and glad i did have that part and all of you encountered in this part of my life.  And now is the time to move on...

FW: 做個有深度的女人

做個有深度的女人?!

Talking LOW is never really happen to me, especially when i'm around w/ those I do really care, showing I do enjoy and having such a great time....

繼續膚淺下去很任性吧?but when someone reached my age, does anyone care?!

===
瑚說百道:有深度的女人

長輩說我現在已不再年輕,應該要學習做個有深度的女人。甚麼是有深度的女人?除了要不斷增值自己,學習在說話時把音量收細,還有遇着甚麼事情,都不要有太大反應,在人前永遠都是保持淡然的態度。這樣子別人便不會輕易看出我的底蘊,更會誤以為我是個深不可測的女人,凡事便會忌我三分了。

增值自己我每天已在做,把音量收細亦已開始實行了,但要裝出有深度呢?在我而言便可能有點難度了。熟悉我的朋友都知道我是個怎樣的人,好聽點說是陽光一族,刻薄的說則是膚淺不懂藏拙,所以朋友大多對我沒有戒心。

若跟我無關的事,我當然不會有甚麼大反應,但當遇上我在乎的事,我便絕對難以沉着應戰。就以談戀愛為例,某次跟某人分手,我打了幾段短訊,痛罵他一番。之後跟兩個好姊妹說到這件事,她們都異口同聲說,為甚麼還要花時間在他身上,簡單的從此不再聯絡便已足夠。可是,我真的在乎嘛!那一刻在乎的,已不是那個人可會回頭,要求我收回「聖旨」,而是很想他知道我當時有多麼的難受。其實都已走到分手的一步,為甚麼還要在乎那麼多?因為我是個十分尊重感情的人,即使是完結也要讓對方知道原因,不會讓一段感情不明不白的逝去。所以我想,我還是繼續膚淺下去算了。

FW: Chking in and chking out

my problem is too easily letting others to check in.. aiii...  unlike Mr. Wong's view, to me 年紀愈大愈學會要懂得放低 , it's harsh, yet is part of life....

===
路中拾遺:Check Out


美國喪屍劇集《The Walking Dead》某個小段落頗令我動容。年紀老邁的鰥夫Dale收留了一對姊妹,其後喪屍來襲,妹妹慘死,姊姊不欲獨活,終於決定在一個快要毀滅的防疫中心等待爆炸。Dale屢勸不果,毅然決定坐下來陪她一同等死。姊姊厲聲趕他離開,一直像個慈祥老伯的他終於激動地把一直抑壓隱藏的愛傾吐。他說:「You can't come into somebody's life , make them care and then just check out!」

要讓一個願意放下喪妻之痛,重新接受另一個人關愛的老人拿起又再放下,是一種比見死不救更狠心的殘忍。他好不容易才願意在這種亂世裏對另一個隨時都會消逝的生命釋出愛意,對方卻說不想再抱着希望活下去,除了心痛,你還能怎樣?所以老人選擇一同赴死,因為再次讓這樣的一個人在眼前失去,不如死掉算了。

我們的心不是酒店,年紀愈大,愈是不容易輕易把門打開讓陌生人進駐,只因我們都知道,旅人離去不帶走一片雲彩,然而我們僅有的心的碎片,都會給對方一同帶走,所以如果你沒有心理準備,就別輕易讓任何人在你心上Check In,因為一旦Check In,就意味着對方總有一天Check Out,屆時留在原地的,就只有你一個而已。

是的。你總是無法想像,也無法接受,當初Check You Out的是同一個人,最後說走就走,狠心Check Out的,竟也是同一個人。

FW: 誠品@香港

frankly i wouldn't say i LOVE reading and a TRUE reader but i do enjoy the "quiet" enrionment in Taiwan Eslite a lot.... unfortunately, i went to their HK shop in Hysan last nite.... keep asking myself - how can a book store be so NOISY (worse than a MALL) ga >.<

aiiiii...  it was around 20ish,  maybe i should try after midnite maybe "better" (however, shouldn't a BOOK SHOP be quiet ALL THE TIME>!?!?!?)

===

我恒我訴:深宵誠品的香港人

近日不少人問:「你誠品咗未?」筆者搖頭,對方即現出一臉難以置信,像在說:「你身為作家,怎能未到誠品朝聖?」想起近日港人逼爆誠品的場面,便想起數年前在台灣遇到的一樁「醜事」。

台北的「誠品敦南店」向來最受港人歡迎,皆因它的2樓書店通宵營業。對於善用時間的港客來說,掃完西門町和士林夜巿,再到此店流連一番,實在最好不過。

當晚零時許,筆者仍在該店內「打書釘」。四周非常寧靜,人們都聚精會神地閱讀。忽然,不知哪裏傳來一陣喧嘩聲,劃破了寂靜。很明顯,是來自一群女性,更觸動到筆者的原因是,這些刺耳的噪音全是標準廣東話:「嘩,呢度有咁多雜誌任揭?」、「如果香港有間咁嘅嘢,仲得了?」某特別高音的女士更說:「咁大地方,仲咁靜添!真係難得!」

原來雜誌架旁站了5名「中年香港女士」。或許她們以為自己身處旺角女人街,一直七嘴八舌,談剛才夜市小食,又說明天要到九份喝甚麼茶,其聲浪之大,竟貫徹了大半間書店,極之擾人。在場不少靜心閱讀的顧客皆搖頭嘆息,正享受讀書樂的筆者也大感汗顏和羞愧,心想:「真丟臉!」只要稍為愛惜閱讀的人也知道「書店內要安靜」,可惜,對這群香港人來說,誠品只是一個「必到景點」而已。

誠品進駐香港,當然可喜可賀。不過,正如一年一度的書展般,香港人是真的愛閱讀?還是只想趕潮流、扮文化人,或是只想逛商場和歎冷氣?誠品賣的不只是書籍文具,還有其幽雅高尚的文化氣息。誠然希望,到香港誠品的人能好好學習和感受,而不是踐踏和破壞。

FW: 你代表了他最差劣的歲月

女神之翼:你代表了他最差劣的歲月
http://the-sun.on.cc/cnt/lifestyle/20120613/00504_001.html


他不想見你,未必真的好憎你,而是,好憎那個曾經在你面前好失敗的自己。


見着你,就想起當時那個可憐又可恨的自己,那個傷口還在啊。

他曾經以為,去愛你,是綽綽有餘的事。誰知,因為各種的不如意,愛着愛着,就無力了。應該對你很好,但他沒有做。甚至,以一些冷酷刻薄的言行去掩飾自己的無能為力。

最後,他甚至出軌了,不因為愛上了別人,而是因為他想讓你絕望、逼你走。

多年後,他的情況稍為轉好,但深知無面目見你。你代表了他的失敗歲月,也代表他的愛無能,更代表了他的自卑,以及他的低能幼稚處事方式。

一班舊朋友聚會,他沒有到,你曾經懷疑,是因為你當年主動離開他,因而他好憎你。才不是呢,他在你離開後,常常想起你,他知道只是自己無福氣,無法與你這種好女人一起。
要是他在當年無待薄過你,他今日不必怕去見你;但因為待薄過你,他過渡不到那個卑劣又不合理的自己。
不要逼他露面了,他今世都不會想再見到你。

有些愛情,無法扭轉心痛的結局,就算你說了原諒,你和他都依樣心痛。

Old TV...

A crazy day at work (how rare that is!)  and went straight home right after work.  Cooked +吃過蝦子海鮮炒年糕便做回我的 couch potato for the rest of the nite until 23ish to take elvin for a walk.

NO HOMEWORK, no dinning out, actually, kinda nice and enjoy the "quiet time" :)

it's not too hot hot but it's humid and rain all day long.  after walking elvin all misty and sticky so took shower - and "relocate" my activity center from the couch back to bedroom - wah! haven't be in bedroom before 0030 for a long time - and suddenly feel very fortunately (and grateful) that i actually have a tv in the room and just like another working station. :))  here's the TV in my room:

Konka Digital Nicam TRADITIONAL TV

when was the last tie u see this type of BIG TV?  actually i didn't buy this - to be exact, i "inherited" this from grandma - she got this long too long before she past away, and that's like the only thing i insist to mom that i wanna keep from grandma.   

didn't realize grandma past away for almost 7 yrs already.  Wow, time sure flies, i kept thinking it was only a few yrs back.  I do miss her a lot, from time to time.  :(

and here's a few snapshots of elvin - just his daily look.  LOL



having elvin sleeping on the other side of the room makes me believe i live happily even now.  Grandma, don't worry, i miss you but i'm living happily now.

FW: 找其他人放上心



hmmmmm, as Tarot B said, "車輪轉"!!!


===
女神之翼:找其他人放上心

女孩子持續半年o依o依哦哦,都在申訴感情的苦。不是不肯為她分憂,而是,那個男人根本只是普通朋友,她有心他無意。

我對女孩子說,她的最大問題是,沒找到其他能讓她放上心的人。

目前,她只找到這個男人,於是,就把對方放上心,自己虐待自己。所以,解決這類「無謂癡情」的方法,就是找多幾個人放上心。去找吧!上網找又好、出街找都好,最緊要不停識人,勤有功之下,就算遇不到兩情相悅的,也可能會遇上有感覺的,把他們都放上心好了,心裏放多幾個,就不會像如今這樣難捱。

許多女孩子都在受着曖昧的苦、暗戀的苦。要溝淡這些苦的方法,就是把其他人放上心。

說真的,你以為你好鍾意這個人,其實未必。你可能只是悶,又或是發花癲,更可能只是流年不利易心亂。

為甚麼只想着他?你其實知道,他根本不值得。他不會回報你的愛,甚至,不稀罕與你熟落。你放他上心?可能,他在心裏一直鄙視你,知道你放他上心之後,會更深一層鄙視你。

趕快去識人。也許,轉個頭你就能找到一個更值得你去日想夜想的心上人,他真正值得你放他上心。

A Fine Sat @ Stanley... :)

Turn out it's one fine day for the Wine Walk this year and only scattered shower at the very very end! :)  marvelous day out @ Stanley (although the wine is @.@), guess the company is more important! :)  Glad yekini joined, together w/ isabelle, chris, lucille, tammy, geroge, and of course, Carson the organizer.   LOL 

Started w/ a small lunch w/ Yekini, Isabella, Chris, George and their friend Carmen @ Rocksalt. the food.. hmmm.. so-so i would say, but it was really a great day out! :) (i'll upload the SUNNY pict later). here's the fish & chips... (we also had risotto, steak, pizza) hahaha

The Wine Walk started from 1500 - 1800. This year's charity will go to the Hong Kong Dogs' Rescue. ALL of us collected ALL 16 stamps (haha, borrow carol's pict)

and here comes the group picts :)




After the walk had tea @ 泗益大排檔 for its famous 咖央西多!  really really yummy (but finishing one by oneself is too tough la)  hehehe.. so yummy!


Watched Avengers with Yekini afterward.  Err.. we were 10 min late so missed the beginning (really FUNNY, called Taxi but the passengers won't get off V_V''')  WTF!  ANYWAY, the movie was okay - i mean, from the entertainment point of view it's filled w/ action (and overcome the weak storyline)   I still like Ironman the most (LOL) and Hulk is still scary if u know what i mean X_X


The movie is 2+hrs long and didn't finish until 22ish, back to CWB area and joined the gangs (Isabelle, Chris, George and Cathy) for drinks @ Dickens (after tried many places).  Like as if we haven't have enough drinks for the whole day! LOL...


One fine sat.... relax (and spoiled!) :)

FW: 內心的準備 - end of my MBA

Toward the end of my MBA life, yes, still have TWO MORE electives to go @_@, but last core class will end next Monday - after that, many buddies will head back to their own life, just like before we started 2 yrs ago. 

I do understand it's "part of the deal," and understand some of our life's "cross path" won't just end right there, but deep down still "sadden" to leave this part of my life - we saw each other AT LEAST twice a wk in the last 18 months, celebrated and "cut" NUMEROUS birthday cakes, as well as celebrating mid-autumn fest, cny's eve, Valentine's day (HAHA) and many other festivals together (by no choice but just class), HAHAHA....

Not to mention with numerous PPT, ESSAYS, Case StudieS, presentationS, examS, sending me next day's reading assignments just b/c i lost my copy in the laundry (HAHAHAH) / forget it next to my bed, or simply the same was eaten by Elvin!!!!! (and more than once! HAHAHA).... McDonald's chicken McNuggetS, Starbucks' cheesepocketS, Pacific Coffee's Buy-1-get-1Free, Hot PotS, kS, drinkS....

also with FightS (i did have some STUPID SILLY KID type of "war" w/ classmates that ended in tears more than once OMG), hugS (but no, no kissES LOL), many many others....

Without the head start w/ Chris, and his last email to us, i wouldn't be ready for the last 18 mths; my 6 senses, Steph, Howard, Anita, Billy, Jan, Harry and Stephen, each taught me something "different" in life (haha, although they may not know!).   Together with many others, I know maybe as the article said, many things i may have overlooked / "not ready" and missed, i do feel LUCKY annd BLESSED that it just happened our life did cross each other in some pt.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.  I'm REALLY grateful, to get to know them, thanks, for filling my MBA life w/ laughters and tears. Thanks for taking me in and took good care of me, thanks, for being my 親密戰友 the whole time, i never feel 孤獨 with you around (even at time when elvin tear off / eat up my notes!) LOL

I sure will miss this part of my life a lot.   Understood can't look back all the time, and it's about time (if not too late) to look ahead.....

Looking forward to the drinks gathering after last class next Monday - a closing 序幕 for my MBA life...

路中拾遺:內心的準備


楊照寫給他女兒的溫柔叮嚀《我想遇見妳的人生》其中一篇是這樣寫的:當年楊照帶着年僅三歲的愛女到京都看楓葉,然而因為年紀太小,後來她記得的,俱是跟楓葉無關的瑣細,譬如當時誓死不肯穿上,一穿上就哭鬧的藍色波點外套,其他,不管紅葉多美,京都多醉人,她都毫無記憶。

於是楊照一直記着這一件小事,並時刻警惕。他把這個定義為人生的殘酷。他說,儘管三歲的你到了京都,看了楓葉,去過嵐山、高山、太原,然而因為你年紀太小,你的感官和記憶還沒準備好,所以這些地方都沒有進入你的生命,成為你生命的一部分……

人的生命有或沒有甚麼,不是取決於我們到了哪裏,遇上甚麼,而是我們遇上、看見時,我們的內在感官與記憶有多少準備,能發生多少聯繫。生命的豐富與否,與其說是跟外在環境有關,不如說是跟自己內在準備有關,更為確切。

為甚麼那麼多人到羅浮宮或者大英博物館沒有感覺,那是因為他內在還沒準備好,所以才毫無感動。反過來說,為甚麼我們會輕易對某些別人麻木無感的人或事觸動流淚、感恩痛苦,那不是詛咒,也不是孤獨,只是因為我們內在的準備比別人豐富而已。這是恩賜,即使再孤獨,無人共鳴,也不該把這天賜的敏感當作不幸的詛咒。想讓自己的生命更豐富,不是走得更遠,而是,更開放自己的內在,時刻做好準備,迎接下一個觸動的瞬間。

Wine Making Site Audit @ Must

meant to be a site audit for the Big10 monthly event - from "work" pt of view the purpose accomplished: audit is finished - but unfortunately the place FAILED (and personally quite a big disappointment).... 

I just don't see how ppl can have fun just mixing the thing - i mean, esp. for non-chemical background ppl, maybe the "doing" part w/ electronic balance, pipette etc etc "MAYBE" fun (but 1 time only non-repeatable, to me la), the theory part is boring for me (even though i understand more than half the technical terms he's saying (those chemical names la)..... AND the killing pt is that the wine made IS NOT GOOD - i've asked them to give us a "Sample" taste of the wine we're making (finished product) and it's NO GOOD.. V_V'''' and actually they've like 7-8 wine for 'tasting' during the session - and OMG, definitely NOT my style of whites @_@ and their red are.. V_V'' 

let's put it that way, their wine is ONLY average NOT too BAD - if benchmarking with regular house red in regular restaurant. However as a "Wine cellar" i expect they rinse their expectation a little bit... ANYWAY, glad that dear natasha and howard san were accompanying me..... o/w bored die :PPPP aii.. need to research MORE tim

Yet for Lau i do think he's very talented and do admire his talent, creativity, and just living his own style w/o being a "star"!

元氣堂:告別夢遺 潛心煉丹 大師出關
2012年02月15日

說劉以達是大師,不為過。不是夢遺大師,那是他一個過度的身份。某位著名喜劇導演說過,在片場夢遊的劉以達,才是他們真正需要的劉以達,因為太清醒的話,沒有笑果。現在達結婚了,受洗了,發福了,生活有序了,卻已經不是導演那杯茶了。對樂迷來說,這個諷刺不緊要,他們樂見劉以達煉丹功成,更上一層樓。大師,回來了!

曾經經典
大師之名,要是由樂評人來賜予,在這年代已沒多大意思。要讚也讚過了,最後還是有人買唱片才行。劉以達留意也在意樂迷的反應。我告訴他,粉絲頁上有樂迷留言新唱片「今次方向正確!正!」,又有留言表示「希望是回勇的!之前出過嗰啲耶歌,小弟不懂欣賞!」。所謂「嗰啲耶歌」,是指他在 09年出版的首張福音唱片《劉以達@Love Mission》。劉承認,唱片是做出來給另一班人聽,音樂上其實不怎麼滿意。「兩年前那張,係呀,係唔好呀。聽開劉以達那些人,要聽迷幻的、難啃一點的。《 Love Mission》玩的是 pop rock,是為了遷就弟兄姊妹。」

失望是必然,因為達迷總無法忘記其經典專輯《麻木》,樂評人奉為五星的作品,題材涉獵廣範,前衞、實驗性強,而且極具個性化,加上王菲、胡蓓蔚、黃秋生、關淑怡、中島花代、艾斯卡(灰狼)等人獻唱,在樂迷心目中,碟內一人拿起二胡、阮、三弦、撞鈴,甚至喀什熱瓦普(維吾爾族及烏兹別克族的彈撥弦鳴樂器)的劉以達,幾乎無所不能。「《麻木》係 95、 96年……我忘記晒了,《流星》(按:主唱為王菲)隻歌,個底用了兩個 chord完成, melody好靚。又要 commercial,又要有 technique,又有概念,又有突破,我精於做呢樣嘢,但確係好難。我唔想做陳慧琳以前那些。」那些甚麼?對不起,我跟達有協議,不能講。

一塌糊塗
《麻木》讓懂音樂的人都聽得過癮,但十年後,達與來自廣州的李璐璐組成的樂隊「達與璐」,卻是一塌糊塗收場。「搞得唔好,成個 product浪費晒。呢個 project係自資的,蝕晒大本,加埋人工,起碼蝕了 50萬。」劉以達人生經歷了兩次谷底,「達與璐」是第二次,也是跌得最傷最低的了,差點去了自殺。
那一年,他零收入。不是有拍戲的嗎?「零收入呀,戲有拍的,但給經理人公司全拿去了,好慘!」關於經理人公司的事,還有一件驚心動魄的——同年,劉以達製作了另一張專輯,已達完成階段,自言「好畀心機做,好創新,風格係印度,仲要加咗好多 rock'n' roll元素」。他找來很強的班底合作,包括黃貫中、林曉培、恭碩良,唱片錄好了,經理人公司答應幫手發行,但不會給劉以達分錢。「很神奇,唱片就是擺在那裏,不賣他們也不會有錢回來,但還是不賣。」

一年後,「達與璐」拆夥,李璐璐在博客上數算劉以達的不是,然後達嫂應媒體要求逐點回應反駁,這樣的結局是雙輸,而且輸得醜怪。如果達要從中領略一點甚麼的,就是人和了。傳媒寫他跟黃耀明關係轉差,一年來電一次也只談復合搵食大計,但劉以達說起這事卻只微笑,然後搖搖頭,跟剛巧路過的街坊打個招呼。其實,就算搵食又怎樣?大師也要搵食的吧!

以前,劉以達生活的顏色都是黑的,晚上工作,通頂是閒事。現在他喜歡早起跟達嫂行山,最壞的習慣,就是喝很多可樂,和抽很多煙。「我唔係毛澤東,唔一定可以改變世界,只係想令世界健康番少少。我現在半日填到一隻歌詞,還要有板有眼,有自己感受,好順,一兩 take搞掂,有返以前啲嘢,而且好多純音樂,多啲空間畀樂迷思考,用圖片來配合,可能會 get到啲野,一定唔會叫人失望。」新唱片《希望之旅》很正面,正面得幾乎叫人掉眼淚,甚至毋懼末日。用他的說法,就是「搵到開心、有意義嘅工作,唔好爛醉,唔好狂歡度日,末日到,就一起去囉。」但達說這不是一張福音唱片。由他親自填詞的唱片主題曲,有句「祂的聲音相當優美」。我不明白了,這不算福音唱片,甚麼算福音唱片?「裏面唱『耶穌愛我,我好開心』之類的才算福音碟,現在還有這些作品。搵隻韓文歌改編,係填耶穌愛你,用《天空之城》音樂填耶穌愛你,都有。我作為一個音樂人,入到教會,慘囉,會好頭痛,覺得點解一成不變,其他唔講,齋講音樂,呢個年代,仲唱埋啲錯音嘅歌,唔整啲好啲嘅?鍾氏兄弟就好喇,有自己風格,玩 jazz,擺了很多福音在裏面。其實香港好多方面都無進步,所以我唔鍾意返教會就係咁解。」

劉以達說,自己信神,而非信人,他看到有人用信仰賺錢,甚至有人搵牧師祈禱等自己安心,「其實牧師係人,係道橋樑。人只能解決人與人之間的問題,但有人將這些人當為黃大仙一樣,你用香油去求一些事情,求到啲嘢之後又再添香油,再求。」祂叫他不要批評別人,因為他自己也有問題,言論要有智慧,否則很多人會抨擊你。「好像早輪阿『文文』呢,係個基督徒女 artist,做戲嘅,幾紅嘅,攻擊一啲同性戀者。老婆呀,『文文』呀,你記唔記得?」達嫂想了想,然後說,「哦,蔡少芬呀!」我後來想起了,那人其實是鄧萃雯。其實有甚麼所謂,都是演戲。劉以達說變態片他不會接,三級片不會接,關於 Halloween的 job,就算搵少十萬八萬,也不會接。他不怕,因為「我坐着,人家就會笑,這地球只有我才可以做到,這是一種天才,天賜的。」

牛記笠記
信仰讓他努力,停了藥,控制好自己情緒,還煉成丹。「以後想用返音樂表達自己。有段時間,電影是正職,音樂是副業,甚至是義工,現在想調返轉,用音樂做返我正職。我無讀大專,靠自己耳仔, 18歲開始苦練,每日平均 6、 7小時。你有無聽 Yui?我有追的,不過是追早期的 Yui,正面、 powerful。韓國都有聽,聽 Girls' Generation。」 So Nyeo Si Dae少女時代?「佢哋好成功呀,好有自己風格,雖然係抄美國 dance music,但抄得好好、好活潑、好直接、好簡單,但整出來唔易,我好佩服。」

輪到本地,他自覺地提起了人山人海。「都唔錯,但佢哋太注重包裝,唔係內心嘅嘢。描述就好勁,但係你話要講『我家失戀,我好心痛』,就無呢啲歌,佢哋唔擺自己落去。你有無聽『東京事變』?人山人海那班人有幾個很喜歡這隊 band,音樂難彈到飛起, technique很勁,很華麗,也很難寫。但他們不會牛記笠記,或者喜歡穿牛記笠記唱兒歌的人,就算隻歌好聽,潛意識會令佢哋覺得啲嘢唔夠 artistic,呢啲嘢我唔鍾意得㗎,鍾意呢就會唔見晒啲朋友。」有人喜歡進入題目,有人喜歡用第三身旁觀,有人重視視覺,有人用視覺看透。這本無對與不對,只是劉跟黃選擇如何演繹「距離」這個問題,始終有點不一樣。兩人不能走在一起,原因總不只以往傳來傳去的那些,對吧大師?

In Memory of Whitney...

I still remember Her Bodyguard CD was probably the 1st CD i ever got in US. That was the time i "listen" to English songs (and know how to sing!) haha.. Her voice is probably the only one can "touch" my heart, not marie carey, nor celine dior, Whitney is probablyh the only one...

those were the good old days...

What a lost, she was only 48...

In Memory of Whitney... I'll always love you~

FW: 知識傲慢

A note to myself - don't be a "知識傲慢"!!

路中拾遺:知識傲慢

資訊爆炸,周圍愈來愈多「知識傲慢」的一群。

這詞彙是《黑天鵝效應》作者塔雷伯所創的,指的是那些教育程度過高、學術人士、新聞從業員、報紙讀者、死板的「科學家」和假經驗主義者。
他們擅長把自己看不見、沒觀察到的東西加以簡化,卻不知道自己所做的簡化與過濾根本存在謬誤,卻當成是至理,是常識,在虛擬世界或者現實裏四處宣揚,同時鄙夷那些不認同、沒聽過這些常識的人。

塔雷伯說,我們的大腦是個絕佳的自欺工具,它先天的設計不是用來處理複雜、非線性的不確定事物,在這個資訊爆炸的時代,更多的資訊其實意味着更多的錯覺。我們讀過一些未經證實的網絡文章就以為自己讀過一本書,卻不知道書跟網絡文章其實還是有着根本性的差別;我們讀報只瀏覽標題,讀網站文章也一樣,太長的文章就只跳段速讀,取個印象,胡亂簡化,把人家討論區來源與真偽不明的資訊東取一截,西剪一塊,然後當成自己的意見四處宣揚,跟意見不同的人論戰,有時候卻連自己究竟在捍衞甚麼都漸漸模糊,對自己守護的理論也沒有深入理解……

愈是擁有「知識傲慢症候」的人,愈是抗拒承認自己有這樣的傾向,甚至還會惡狠狠地跟你開罵,然而啊,這總是「無私顯見私」、「此地無銀」的最有力證明。

聽電台節目《口水多過浪花》,主持人Do Do姐鄭裕玲說熊貓的發情期一年內只得一天,若果二隻熊貓遇上,縱使有一隻已經整「妝」待發,但另一隻「timing唔夾」,又要等一年,即使工作人員已扭盡六壬,連成人電影都日日播放,企圖製作浪漫刺激觀能,一樣肥佬,顯然兩隻熊貓不受這一套,仍是一副愛理不理的模樣,只嘆奈何。

人又何嘗不是?你說喜歡她,千方百計去取悅她,要她歡喜,她卻當你透明。好了,轉向先做朋友嗎,又當正你是正牌觀音兵,甜頭少少做事多多;朋友嗎,不是兩肋插刀的嗎?!你原本想打開對方心靡,對方去到某個位置便停下來,裝甲沒卸下,如何貼身了解?更別說花了半年仍在朋友位置兜兜轉轉了。最後下場是一句:「對唔住,我哋timing唔夾。如果以前我會鍾意你呢類型嘅男仔,依家你似我細佬多啲,真係冇feel,唔好意思呀!」不到三個月,你會見到女與一位男士手拖手去日本旅行,在機鐵車廂內依偎的模樣,你以為她與舊情人復合,原來那只不過是一位外貌或感覺跟她前度很像的男子吧。男女換轉都一樣。

一個人若果對前度依舊眷戀或想償還,心神仍處於同一個舊有狀態中,會傾向找回一位跟上一個或一直以來拍拖像倒模般相似的人。說那是timing問題,倒不如說那是上一回的功課未做完、學習未有成的豆,種出來的果。你有沒有發現,有一些事情,你千方百計,左避右避,男女友換了,工都轉了,家都搬了,移民都做了,還是最終經歷千迴百轉,回轉到自己身上,像似交上一生的惡運。例如同樣再做第三者、再遇上衰男人/女人,再遇上惡死自私到極點的《Devil Wears Prada》老闆,所有歸零,那種感覺既是熟悉,又是無奈,但內心除了一句「oh shit!」,痛惜前功盡癈外,還可以怎樣?仍是死死地氣面對算了。當然亦有些人選擇未ready,繼續搬,繼續避。

所以話,要面對的,還是要面對。你內心沒有改變的,你纏上的人與事,可以緊隨着你,天荒地老,移民咁移,信不信由你。

Simply Fact - 其實理由往往是很簡單

問題只是我們能否在那刻接受現實/說得出口。。。

===
路中拾遺:理由只有一個

有沒有試過叫人把真實答案隱藏在ABCD幾個選擇裏面?通常,不懂撒謊的人,都會把真實答案放在最前或者最後,而不會是中間。

而且,即席掰假答案的時候那些猶豫支吾也會輕易把真正答案出賣。只有慣於撒謊的,才會流利暢順地把真假答案混於其中,而不被覺察。

被迫撒謊的時候,我們有時會用其他傷害性較少的煙霧彈去掩蓋真正具傷害性的真正答案,以藉口遮住理由,蒙混過去,然而要是當你問一個人他為甚麼需要這份工作,他回答你的理由超過一個的時候,這個人其實並不是最着緊、最需要這份工作的一個,而他,更不可能是最誠實的一個。

這其實不難理解。讓我們把情景改成分手,或者表白吧:當你問對方為甚麼要分開,而對方告訴你的理由不止一個的時候,那些其實都不是真正的死因,因為最具傷害性也最真實的說不出口,才用其他煙霧彈蒙混過關而已,誰都知道,當他簡單直接的跟你說「我已經不愛你了」,那才是最終極也最誠實的分手理由。

所以,當你問對方為甚麼愛你,如果對方想了很久,或者想也不想,就給你一個答案,這必定是最誠實也最重要的答案,這個人大抵也值得相信託付。

為甚麼喜歡這個女孩?男人也許會說她善良、心地好、可愛、個性吸引之類,然而真正理由也許不過是:她的身材很好,而已。
