Potpourri of thoughts

陳易希中英文肥佬入了科大，Ivy畢業生拿得優異成績Poly唔收？

9大行星變8大行星對我地有乜實際影響？
如果我係Pluto I would say, "Well, define what you bunch of astronogists think what I am, I am still what I am, no change."

Will one day ferreting a spouse be in the way job hunting is like today - with a resume and application letter? Maybe add some letters of recommendation?

"Right now! Right here!"

So billionaires are donating a big bite of what they have made, so why are they still biting hard?

Sooner or later machines and computers will replace human for productions , what would we do then?

"I know."
"I don't know"
"I don't wanna know"
"I try to but I still don't know."
"Just forget about it."
Where is your stand on your religion?

"To love is a choice., so is to hate"

新聞；常態

阿嬌最近因為工作受了極大的「傷害」

「好慘！」

「抵制本雜誌！」

「告到佢執笠！」

「天地不容，法理何在？」


一大堆人口誅筆代的同時，雜誌銷量呢？ 加印立即售罄。

順着人性而從的生意是做不完的，看黃賭毒、名牌用品、當明星高宫、讀名師補習社、金融業生意、美容、電視真人騷，多不勝數。

既是人性的彰顯，亦是耳沞目染，更肯定是此風是一發不可收拾。只要有人敢起義做出更越軌的行為，我們說不的同時，心裏卻暗暗叫好。

看有史以來道德觀在這短短數十年間起着何等急速的變化，原來以前的繁文縟節無形定立了一條道德界線，此線一破將勢難收拾。

此等荒謬絕倫的事件很快會成為常態。

人類會否有中與的時代？都沒有關係, 反正一齊事物中興過後, 都是離不開減亡，那只是早晚的問題。

Background Information

There was such a happenstance in a prestigious school in 2001 in the US. Here is the story.


In a typical hot summer day, a college senior was walking down his way for lunch. His pace was fast, hoping to dry the tears his eyes could barely hold. He was distraught with indescribable shame and sense of helplessness. It seemed that epiphany had no mercy to let him tackle what had just happened.

Minutes ago he was visiting his professor with his projects partners for some enquiries. They had good Q & A session and was having fun together. For some reasons his partners had to go first. So he was left with the professor. Inevitably they went on about grading for the course, of which was not very clear from the very beginning.

"Believe me you will be fine. As long as you attend classes, do the homework, and study, getting a good grade should not be a problem." The professor said.
"All I want is to pass and go home." The senior replied.
The professor was astonished. His hands stopped from busying at cleaning his glasses and the sweat on his face. Head down and looking sideway, he gradually stood up.
"All students here are working very hard to learn and to get good grades. And you only want to pass?" He stared right at the senior.
Deeply agitated, he kept going, "This is a very good school and it could not accept student like you."
"Don't even think about sneaking to pass. I will fail you! I will!" His head was so wobbling that even his already wet hair fell to stick to his forehead.
"What do you know? My mom is dying from cancer, and all I want is to finish up my last semester and see her." The senior wanted to say, but at the end he swallowed back the words.
He just swiftly left the room with an irate man.


Did the senior or the professor do anything wrong? You came across situations where you were misunderstood and did not want to explan, or felt invain to do so?

選擇方向‧選擇情感

風帶着微笑輕吹，天空裏雲偶遇
難忘是當天你，那驀然的相醉
心印下微笑的影 ，天天去回味
迷人是一剎那 ，再回頭己是沒法追
看着看着你來來去去，彷似彷似彩雲散聚
哪日才可，哪日才許，再共你相遇
要是以後有緣能見你，今天一切都成往事
會是如歌，會是如詩，怕沒法遇

假如您看過電影《少女日記》，想必您一定能唱出上面的歌詞。

睹 物思人，而聽舊曲也會牽動某個時期的記憶，其實某個詞、某個地方、某個手號、某種香氣、某種抑揚也會有着個人獨有的意義，讓我們穿梭時空，暫時忘記現在， 走進從前的感覺。 感覺也沒有好壞之分，反正都是與生俱來的不經大腦分析的訊號。面對感覺，除了坦然接受之外也別無他法，要不就連自己也要欺騙了。

而不論林林總總的感覺是喜、怒、哀、樂、嫉、慌、忐忑、任性、焦慮，我們都有兩個選擇：享受或沉溺。這兩者之間亦很難作出客觀的分冶，都是個人的定義。總之享受過了頭就是沉溺。

可惜的是現代人太忙碌，營營役役，發明了第三種處理方法：不處理。

沒有機會細味一下自己真實的感覺，或者會說：「開心」或「不開心。」但也只有那麼多。然而人的感受要比這兩個的觸及面蕪雜及細緻得多，我們卻少有與自己的內心世界真情對話，這實在是有點枉作人類。

我也沒有什麼好方法，都是在這三者之間徘徊。時沉溺勝，時享受贏，時勢均力敵。不過我會將遇到的一些事、一些感覺很快的用電子記事本記下來，用的可能只是十數個中文或英文字詞。有機會坐車或發白日夢時拿出來看。下列是其中的一些速記。

去年八月五日：愛、適合、好、欣賞作為愛侣條件/要求的微妙關係
本年五月某日：乘巴士時母親倚着女兒，女兒溫柔地輕撫母親的髮稍及臉龐
某天：因剪手甲而提醒自己存在及生長的真實，自己真是活着！
今天：不同的沙律醫是要配合不同的水果，不然會有「不夾」的情況出現

您今天的感覺或經歷又是什麼？

Numbers

I am a number fanatic.

I am 28years6 months26days old.
178.5cm tall
78kg
BMI(Body mass index): 24.48 (too high, normal range is 18 - 25)
Bowled 43 times totalled 158 games since Jan 1, 2006. Aveaging 143.0/game.
Have spent HKD$438,073 since Aug 18, 2002
Have learned 371 new English words since Jul 10, 2006

But I have to say numbers are sometimes unreliable.

The degree of pain of giving birth is 10? How about the pain of a decayed relationship?
Can you really feel the difference between 32 and 37 degree C?
Does it make a difference if millions are suffering but you don't even care your friends?
It does not make any sense if I don't use the 371 words I learn!
CEOs' work worths millions, but janitors' only thousands?
What about IQ? EQ? XQ?
Can a church be benchmarked by the number of attendants?
Do you know anyone who is making a ok/good lifing REALLY enjoy his/her work?

Any quantitative method used to measure love is destined for failure. Also, forget your biological age (except in the case for biological functions), what really matter is your mind.

神鵰俠侶的人物啟示

昨日於7小時內看完了最新版的神鵰俠侶最後十餘集(總數是四十一集)，置身其中，頓然增加了不少經歷。

一邊看不其然會問自己，現今的我若走進虛擬的故事之中，會是個什麼角色？又會有着怎樣的結局？

黃藥師，被稱為「邪」，不屑繁文縟節，我行我素？
郭靖：一生耿直，篤信「聖人」教導，保家衞國？
周伯通，笑看天下，自得其樂？
裘千仞，終能放下仇恨？還是他的妹妹裘千尺，只懂報仇？
綠萼：命中註定的悲慘下場？
李莫愁，一生無法忘記過去的創傷，成為無罪不作的女魔頭？
金輪國師，武功蓋世卻後繼無人，為救郭襄而死，死前只希望聽到郭襄稱自己師傅？
甄志炳，一失足成千古恨，一生活在迷戀及罪疚當中？
郭芙，刁蠻任性，永遠看不到自己的錯誤？
楊過：多經磨難卻能與小龍女成脊屬？

或者應該問，在現實中我想成為怎樣的角色？

只因能看透人生才能有如此著作，金庸的作品委實是言之有物。

Bowling - not one kind of a game

Bang! You just slipped the ball backward. Luckily the 6-year-old next lane eluded from the K.O.! Obfuscated, embarrassed, and lost, you gathered yourself and got the ball again to fix the botch. Oh, you made it - to feed the gutter. Yummy!

Sound familiar?

Without proper instruction, Bowling IS a tough game. What's more dishearening is that the one next to you seems to posess alchemy. His ball goes in banana like path. X! You try hard to emulate but the glutters exploit your hard work.

Also, unlike other real-time competing sports like soccer or basketball, there is no interaction from your teammates nor contestants. In Bowling, 10 cold pins are all you have to deal with. So, what's so fancy about the game?

In a nutshell, bowling is a personal mind game.

Well, it doesn't mean you don't need to move your limbs. Yet even with the most precise calculation and intensive practice, only the performance at the moment counts. Put it this way, the score is an instant measurement of WHAT YOU ARE. Your body coordination, analysis of the lane condition, judgements, and the mentality at the moment you throw the ball make your score. So before you bowl, you must be determined to strike.

Even more fascinated, in a competition, you are the only limelight. No 2 bowlers will bowl simultaneously. In other sports, for example, saucer gunshot, there's only one player at a time. But don't forget there really isn't the crowd, or that the crowd is so distant you don't actually "feel" it. Therefore, the ability to handle the crowd is crucial. Imagine this, Wu Siu Hong, HK best known bowler just threw a glutter ball. He must have been resilent enough to continue the match.

Another fun part of bowling is the thunderous noise resulted from clear strike. Clear strike does give you confidence to play even better. Once the ball is released, you pretty much know if it will strike or not. If it is going to do so, you might just close your eyes and wait for the sound of joy and excitment!

So, bowling ostensibly is kind of a stupid and lonely game. Yet there is much to enjoy if you can see it from a different perspective.
