天天

近日經過大街的"天天"時,

發覺店內貨物日少,

似乎是要結業了.

曾經看著她嘗試轉型,

以便利店的形式經營,

估不到,

宿命是隨著時代步伐的改變,

終要與澳門人說再見.?

在路上

今晚回家路上,

在營地大街附近,

竟然給我先後遇到M 及T.

真好!

真的是很久不見,

M剛從CA回來,

大學剛畢業,

現正找工作,

祝他找份理想工作.

較晚時則見到T,

難得多年沒有見,

真的是稀客,

同是住在澳門,

不約的話,

真的是像住在另一地方.

突然想起,

上周二晚上亦在路上見到L,

她提議食飯一聚,

由於身體不適,

建議待恢復時,

約她吃飯,

希望支票早日兌現!

少菜

昨天

外買加料回家,

選了菜炒肉片,

在店內付了錢後,

店員叫廚房"菜炒肉片"少菜,

即時反應,

我要多菜,

不要扣起我的菜.

店員亦即時回應,

要小菜嗎?

不是菜炒肉片飯!!??

Originally, planned to focus on my project on every Monday, and today is the first day, unfortunately, there are so many tiny things for me to follow,thus the plan totally fails today.

What a Monday!

話你知﹕收麵包碟見水準

(明報)2010年8月30日 星期一 05:10

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100829/4/jy76.html

【明報專訊】酒店用來佐吃麵包的牛油相當講究,港島香格里拉的Petrus,文華東方的Alain Ducasse,置地廣場的Joel Robuchon和香港四季酒店 的Caprice,都指定採用Jean-Yves Bordier法國 不列塔尼手做牛油,以當地有機牛奶,以木器搓打牛油令其香滑,經調味後,以36小時天然熟成。

不夠水準的餐廳,吃完湯便順手收走你的麵包碟,但其實,由食用第一道菜至甜品前,麵包籃都應該長期擺放在桌上,並且按客人需求添加。至於客人也有恰當的禮儀,不可把麵包掰開一半又放回籃中,食不完的麵包,請放在左邊的個人麵包碟上。

週日, 2010-08-29 04:58 — 擔泥_道

星期三晚,政府包機在機場降落後,受驚過度的母親就在家人的陪同下到了政府安排的車上等候,我一人站在眾多死者家屬之中,靜靜參加了遺體告別儀式。風笛奏着《Amazing Grace》,很莊嚴,也很淒涼。我看着棺木上的白布貼着一個個的團友名字,淚水如注。誰會想到這個旅行團回到香港時會是這個樣子?

我淚眼看着傅太帶着她的一對子女到她丈夫遺體棺前告別。她只有四歲的小女兒在飛機上不時嬌滴滴的問母親:媽媽,為什麼爸爸回香港但是不回家?媽媽,為什麼我閉上眼睛會看到爸爸?一句句稚子無知的問題,聽得人心絞痛,可敬的是傅太仍堅強得很,仍以逗小孩的聲音平和地對女兒說爸爸已上天國,着女兒和爸爸說再見,過了一會,才傳來她痛哭的聲音。還有汪小妹的呆滯眼神,如所有情緒被抽乾了,讓人看得心痛。下機前,我走到導遊Masa 的母親前面,握着她的手,不知道跟她說什麼,只能說,我很想謝謝Masa,他一直很照顧團友,直到最後一刻。

回家的路上,我透過車窗看着天上的月亮,圓得讓人心痛,不知是農曆十五還是十六,又是那麼亮,亮得那麼冷漠。

這幾天我把事情想了很多遍,心裏有極大的憤怒和悲傷,還有說不出的愧疚。我一直在想,為什麼我們沒有行動起來拯救自己?為什麼在漫長的等待過程後,我們仍靜靜期盼那似乎是永不會來的救援、把自己的命運交付那無能的政府?

我們當中確是有想過要自己起來制服槍手的,到底是什麼讓我們猶豫了?是我們害怕,也是因為我們都相信槍手並不想殺人,我們一直以為事件會和平解決,當然,我們最大的錯誤是我們高估了當地警察的能力。

槍手大概是早上十時左右上車,當時我們剛要離開菲律賓國父紀念古堡。他上車時以菲語嘰哩咕嚕了一堆,後來用了一些簡單英語,在當地導遊的翻譯下,我們明白他是一個警察,認為自己被無理革職,原來他明年一月就要退休了,他要求政府重新調查,讓他復職,讓他可以重得失去的百萬元披索退休金。槍手又多次向我們道歉,他說他也不想這種事發生在我們身上,說只是想我們幫他,逼政府注意他的個案,他三番四次強調不會傷害任何人,只要我們合作幫他。他請導遊把我們的手機沒收,但是並沒有認真檢查我們是否真的交出手機(這讓我其後後悔自己真的交出了手機),他又強調他不是要我們的手機,只是暫時收走而已,他又說他不是要我們的錢,真的,他從來沒有查看或要求我們交出任何財物。不久,他容許肚痛的李老太下車,讓傅太帶着幾個小孩下車,又讓患糖尿病的李老伯下車,這都讓我們認為,他是擁有最基本的人道關懷,認同要照顧老幼病殘,所以他該不是窮兇極惡之徒。在他最後開槍之前,他從來沒有把槍指向我們任何一個人,從來沒有威嚇過我們,只要我們告訴他「toilet」,他都會揮手示意讓我們去,於是十個小時內,大家都在車尾堆滿雜物的小室內以膠袋如廁。首幾個小時,槍手說電話時,語氣平靜,有時還語帶笑意,一聲聲「ok、ok」的,讓我們心寬,間或又再強調不會傷害我們,還容許外面兩次送飯給我們。一直到黃昏之前,大家雖然是擔心又害怕,但車內的氣氛算是平和,並不恐怖。我看了好幾次自己的掌紋,想,我的生命線很長呢,以前看掌好多次,不同的睇相佬不是都這樣說的嗎?我對自己說,這次事件只是鬧劇,一定會圓滿解決。

沒有如果

開始的時候,我們認為槍手要求這麼簡單,該可以在一兩小時內和平解決,直到十二時多,我等得有點不耐煩,就小聲向坐在車尾的團友建議一起動手制服槍手。槍手單人匹馬,我們全團人雖然婦女小孩老人較多,但有點打鬥能力的男人、可以協助的青年和成年女子加起來也有十人左右,在狹窄的車廂內反抗空間不多,大家團結的話,總該可以把他制服的吧。不過,我們當時按槍手要求坐得很分散,每排只可坐一個人,旅遊車又長,大家不能商量,就沒有了行動的默契。我和坐在後排的幾名團友多次商量,不過,因為當時的氣氛仍非常平和,大家相信事件可以和平解決,認為如果行動失敗反而會激怒槍手,所以沒有行動起來。

槍手說下午三時釋放人質

到了下午一時多,槍手用簡單英語告訴我們三時會讓我們走,我聽錯了是八時,坐我旁邊那排的梁生還糾正我,是三點,梁生再問槍手確認3pm?槍手說yes,梁生大聲地回了一句good,大家也如釋重負。我沒有帶手表習慣,手機又被沒收,不時會問梁生時間,當梁生告訴我已經二時半,我的心又慌了,為什麼政府似乎仍是靜靜的沒有行動,又沒有答應槍手要求,自己心裏在想,要不要我們自己和槍手談判?可是槍手又似乎只會非常簡單的英語……好幾次槍手開門在車門前立足停下來時,我都想要跑到他身後用力把他踢出去,也在腦中預習了很多遍,但是又怕自己不能和司機溝通,怕司機不夠機警不會立即關門和開車逃走,讓槍手有時間反攻……我想了很多不同的可能性,最終都沒有行動,可能我只是在為自己的恐懼和怯懦找藉口。

多次商量擬合力制服槍手

時間一直拖着,始終未見任何解決事件迹象,我們在車尾的幾名團友再幾次商量要不要動手制服槍手。我們留意他的武器擺放在身上的位置,他走到什麼地方時最好動手,商量大家身邊有什麼可攻擊的東西,我說我雖然是身材矮小的女子,但如果男團友可以暫時壓着槍手,我可以搶槍和按着槍手的手令他不能行動,給時間車頭的團友逃走及求助,梁生亦靜靜叮囑子女在行動時要協助搶槍。可是,最終我們仍是猶豫,不敢亂來,皆因槍手把談判設定的限期往後推了又推,等待政府回應他的訴求,讓我們覺得,他是不想殺人的,直到槍手真的開槍射向前排幾個團友,梁生撲出去救家人時,一切都太遲了。後來我和梁太說起,原來她也想過要攻擊槍手,用她袋裏的繩子去勒槍手的頸。如果我們都可以勇敢一些,如果我們早些團結行動,如果我們沒有繼續等待警察救援而當機立斷行動起來,可能會有不一樣的結果,可恨的是,歷史是沒有如果的。

默念心經躲在椅底下保命

我躲在椅子底下,逃過了槍殺。剎那間,我不敢相信原來電影裏的情節真會發生在自己身上。我看到在另一排也躲在椅子底下的母親仍是活的,心就定了一些。第一輪槍擊後,車內很靜,這時天打起雷來,轟轟的一陣一陣,雨點又噠噠的打在車頂,更顯得車內一片死寂。車廂內很黑,只有槍手發現有人仍是活着時,再打出的一些槍聲和火光。我看到藍色的火光打入團友的身體,原來在蠕動的身體就不再動了,連哼一聲都沒有。隔了好一會,再又響起很多震耳欲聾的槍聲,和車身不斷被打擊的聲音,一切都不斷提醒仍生還的人,下一秒可能就會斃命。

看着前面那些不動的身體,我心裏自然的念起「謁諦謁諦,波羅謁諦,波羅僧謁諦,菩提娑婆訶」,希望已死去的團友可以快到彼岸,這是我長年看到有生命離世時的習慣。我不自覺地想,他們真的死了嗎?幾分鐘前仍活着的人,現在的靈魂仍在車廂內徘徊嗎?我把般若波羅蜜多心經慢慢的在心中念了很多次,一字一字的細細再咀嚼, 「觀自在菩薩,行深般若波羅蜜多時,照見五蘊皆空,渡一切苦厄……無罣礙故,無有恐怖,遠離顛倒夢想」,我想,我仍有什麼罣礙,心中轉念了很多遍,想起自己很多想做的事仍未做,想起親愛的家人朋友,能不死的當然仍是不死的好,但是心中已不像開始時那麼怕,最擔心的是母親在兩次的催淚彈攻擊中發出的咳聲會被槍手發現。槍戰好長好長,好像永遠不會完一樣,我感覺到自己的頭髮和身上染了很多血,都是別人的血,但是下一秒可能就是自己的血了。被救出來之後,這幾天都聞到血腥的味道。

救護車簡陋止血用品欠奉

在救護車上,我們要求救護員給雙手不斷流血的陳生包紮止血,救護員竟說沒有用品,我母親仍受着催淚彈的苦,她想喝水,救護員又說他們沒有水,我看了車上的櫃,果然是空空的什麼設備都沒有,只有苦笑。到了政府醫院,設備也非常簡陋。在我們被轉送去較好的醫院前,有不同的政府部門官員、不同救護機構的人員、領事館的人員,不停地問我為什麼槍手會發起瘋來,突然開槍,我不禁火了,當場忍不住就罵他們,他們到底是不是想救人?天底下會有那麼長時間來救人?槍手暴露了那麼多可以被攻擊的機會為什麼警察沒有把握時機?為什麼就不能先答應槍手的訴求先救人質……?陳先生不斷想找他的女友易小姐的消息,可是哪裏找,醫院裏亂作一團,同樣在醫院裏尋找子女的梁太看起來讓人心都要碎了,她雙眼睜得好大,盛滿淚水,似乎隨時會倒下,我一邊照顧受驚在哭的母親,一邊握着梁太的手,和她一起向在場的政府官員重複她的要求,要求政府人員帶她去找子女,但是無能的官員說,他們並不知道她的子女在哪個醫院……

血腥味揮不去閉目聞槍聲

我在醫院裏,把母親安頓下來,已是清晨近五時,我把染血的衣物褪去,頭髮已被乾了的血弄得僵硬,我洗了很久很久,濃濃的血腥味讓我有想吐的感覺。出來坐在沙發上,看着睡在病牀上母親順着呼吸而起伏的胸口,看了很久,生怕她會突然不動,看了不知多久,我才確定,是的,我們都安全了,都活着,我呼了一口氣,心中慢慢生了一片靜。我看着微亮泛白的天空,有恍如隔世的感覺。眼睛閉上,耳邊卻響起不斷的一下一下「啪、啪」槍聲,打散了原來心中的靜,之後眼睛一閉上就聽到槍聲,看見中槍團友身體在抽搐,不知他們是否已在往天國的路上,一直不能合眼。

菲律賓政府和警方對這件事的荒謬處理,全世界都看到,我也不用再多說,在醫院期間,看菲國新聞,知道其總統言行,聽到警隊為了替自己無能開脫而卸責給傳媒,竟要求在危急事件時封鎖新聞,我每每氣得在病房內大罵。在醫院的兩天內菲國官員和多方人員絡繹不絕的來慰問,總統妹妹也代表其兄來訪,我都把我的憤怒直接表達了,要求徹查和追究責任,給死傷者及其家屬一個交代。醫院裏的醫護人員倒是全都很盡心盡力的照顧傷病者,我非常感謝他們,我明白他們是想為他們國家造成的錯誤而盡力補償。

回港前,我去找梁太,想告訴她我們先回香港,也給她一點支持。梁太好厲害,很鎮定,還安慰我,她相信的神給了她很大的精神支持。不過,當我們說到當時車內最後的狀况時,大家都忍不住哭了起來。神啊,雖然我不是教徒,但無論如何,請祢照顧她已啟程往天國的親人,並給她和她仍在生死邊緣掙扎的兒子以無限的愛和眷顧。

我們曾經對菲國如此漠然

我一直想,是什麼讓一個曾是傑出警察的槍手變成冷血殺手?難道他就沒有任何罣礙?不擔心家人生活?是什麼把他逼上末路?他為什麼要用挾持人質的方式來逼政府重新審視他的個案,難道這國家沒有他可以申訴的途徑嗎?我這才明白,雖然我以前也有過好幾個來自菲律賓的同事,但我和大多數香港人一樣,對這個國家幾乎全無認識。明明香港有十幾萬菲傭生活在我們之間,甚至住在我們很多家庭內,但是我們對這個為我們提供了大量廉價勞工的國家和人民的生活狀况是如此的漠然。我們大概都知道菲國窮,才要在全球輸出傭工,但到底有多窮?我查看了一下,才知道原來菲國有三分之一人口活在貧窮線以下,槍殺、綁架的事情無日無之,這樣的情况之下,人民過的是什麼生活?我回想發生挾持事件之前二天,旅行團的行程當中有一項是到花車廠探訪,現場卻傳來了一陣陣惡臭,導遊指一下車廠圍牆外的一邊,是一個垃圾山,山上有不少小孩正在撿垃圾維生,讓人心酸無言。

菲傭變無能政府代罪羔羊

回到香港後,知道香港這幾天出現了不少反菲言論,網上有人說要把所有菲傭趕走,使菲國立即陷入經濟困境作為報復,又有菲傭在街上被辱罵,一聲聲「奴隸國、僕人國」來作菲國代號。我明白市民對菲國政府和警察的無能的憤怒,我親身體會,但是,這與菲國人民何干呢?難道我們都忘了被歧視的滋味嗎?香港曾是長久被殖民的一個社會,華人在體制上和生活上都被所謂的「主人」歧視,現在卻有一些香港人財大氣粗地聲稱「我哋請咁多菲律賓人,我哋係佢哋老細」,以一副「聘用你是恩惠,你卻敢以下犯上」的奴隸主姿態來責備那些和挾持人質事件全不沾邊的菲傭,實在讓人心驚。菲傭明明就是她們無能政府的受害人,正正因為政府無能讓人民溫飽,無數的菲國婦女才要離鄉別井、丟下自己的孩子去寄人籬下照顧別人的孩子呀,為什麼在香港菲傭反而成為無能政府的代罪羔羊呢?為什麼在悲憤的同時有些香港人會變成種族主義者?同樣讓人難以明白的是,香港政府竟也在此同時宣布要把包括菲傭在內的外傭繼續凍薪,使外傭都無法分享經濟好轉的成果,這是我們的政府在渾水摸魚嗎?政府能不能公開檢討外傭薪酬的標準和機制是什麼,在這個時候作這些舉動,給人政府要懲罰外傭的感覺,對消除仇菲情緒沒有任何幫助。有位友人引了魯迅的一句話:勇者憤怒,抽刃向更強者;怯者憤怒,卻抽刃向更弱者。香港人難道是只會向弱者開刀的怯者嗎?

公正調查追究責任慰亡靈

香港這幾天為了人質事件大家一同憤怒一同悲傷,我雖然沒有和其他團友討論過,但我想,團友們都會感謝市民的關心和支持。不過,要慰死難者在天之靈的方法不是責難無辜的菲傭或菲國人民,我們的焦點要清晰,針對菲國的政府和警方,要求公正的調查,追究事件責任,以及支持傷者及死者遺屬安排日後的生活,這才是對事件中死傷者的實在關懷,長遠而言,我們該更支持菲國人民建設更可靠的政府,更有公義的社會,這樣香港才真正算得上是國際社會的一員,有人道關懷的國際大都會。

各位團友,大家終於都回香港了,回家了。已離世的團友們,請一路好走,還請你們的在天之靈保佑你們在世的親人;身心受傷的團友和家屬們,請堅強起來,早日康復,以後的路還長,願大家都好好生活,大家保重啊。

公共空間

今早出外逛,

經過紅街市義子街一帶,

非常多人.

但奇怪的是,

發覺很多商户竟然將自己的貨物放在行人道上,

居然比自己店子內的空間還要大,貨品還要多

很明顯的是,

需要做事的政府人員沒有維護市民的權益,

日積月累下,

在人性自私的行為下,

行人的空間愈來愈小.

Message

Today saw a girl with a message on her T-shirt:

"the bed is too big without you!"

It reminds me the other day I saw a guy 's message on his T-Shirt:

"Don't talk to me, I have a bad day!"

Do they really mean it???

School Uniform

It is almost end of August, the TV news mentioned that the parents were busy on preparing the school uniforms for their kids, it reminds me my high school uniform.

When I was in primary school, we didn't need to wear school uniform, thus, we could have our own choices of causal wear.

But when I started my middle school, I needed to buy uniform, as my parents didn't have money for me to go to school, I worked during summer to cover my school fees and expenditures.

Therefore, I remember very well that I had only one uniform for each season.

And In the six years' student life, I only tailored made two new summer uniforms and one winter uniforms (one used winter uniform was offered by one of my mother's friend in my first year).

For the summer time, I paid very special attention for uniform, as I could not wash it every day, only two days or so, and I needed to wash it immediately after school, to make sure it had enough time to be dried for the next day.

I still remember that my first summer uniform became very tight in a short time :( and therefore when I made the second one in later years, mother insisted the tailorer to make it in larger size
:(.

Over all, I liked to wear the winter uniform, as I found myself more comfortable, and I had several white shirts offered by one of the aunts living next to my house. The cost of making one winter uniform was quite expensive, but the quality was very good, and I liked it very much.

At that time, I was really admired my schoolmates who could have two to three uniforms for the semester.

As time passes, it seems to me that it is only a minor thing in life, when we are in a difficult time, we need to learn how to adjust and overcome the problems.

When there is problem, there should be solution.

We should overcome it!

今日心情2010.8.28

已經咳了約3個多星期,

醫生也先後由西醫換了中醫,

又由中醫換回西醫,

當有起色改善時,

不知原因,

又好像轉差...

真無奈!

打針的姑娘都十分同情,

因那枝止咳的針真是很痛,

又大枝,

吃了藥又想睡覺,

我的星期六就是這樣子渡過!

老爸知道我不能吃橙,

下午專程出外為我買蘋果回來,

真是很感動.

Coughing

As per doctor's advice, one should not eat oranges, bananas, pears, sweet, cold food/water, otherwise, the coughing would not stop!!!

Song - For My Lady

Songwriters: Thomas, Ray

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF9NbSoJY8g

My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone.

Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady

Song - Vincent

外地評論摘要﹕菲警十錯

明報)2010年8月28日 星期六 05:10

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100827/4/jx9x.html

【明報專訊】菲律賓人質慘劇,引起不少國際關注,BBC發表分析文章,解構菲律賓警方到底犯了什麼錯誤。

英國廣播公司(BBC)8月24日分析文章

曾與英軍和蘇格蘭 場合作反恐的保安事務分析員Charles Shoebridge認為,營救巴士人質的菲律賓警察表現英勇,但卻缺乏訓練和裝備。他點出了菲警十處應該做得更好的地方。

一、欠果斷

首批試圖衝進巴士的警察被門多薩擊退。衝進巴士的警察很勇敢。巴士很擠,又得一條通道,因此警察應預計會被槍擊。這類突擊隊成員應該是千挑萬選的異人,受過特訓,行事必須勇敢、果斷和進取。但在事件中,菲警的反應就如常人,一遭還擊就撤退,欠缺了將突擊任務進行到底的果斷。

二、缺裝備

警察只要有特別的爆破設備,就可以馬上打爛巴士的窗和門,但他們卻花了很長時間用大鐵槌擊窗,擊碎後又沒有梯爬進去。在狹窄環境內作戰,較適合用短身的衝鋒槍,但他們只有手槍和突擊步槍。

三、錯失制服機會

警方有很多制服槍手的機會,譬如當談判專家走近時,槍手並沒有提起武器,那時就應制服他。

四、錯失狙擊機會

槍手曾多次獨個兒站著,暴露於警方神槍手的射擊範圍。由於槍手的行為難以估計,警方應當把握任何可以迅速解決危機的機會。菲律賓警方這次可能是看不到時機,或者是考慮過後選擇繼續談判。

五、沒有滿足槍手要求

我不明白為何當局不答應他所有要求。當挾持事件不涉及恐怖組織,要求也不是釋放囚犯,當局其實可以答應其要求。將門多薩復職後,當局仍可以綁架罪判他終身監禁。菲律賓當局對要求的正面回應來得太小和太遲,初時只答應覆核其案件,到答應復職要求時,槍擊已開始了。

六、電視直播

電視直播令槍手可以完全了解身邊發生的事,這是警方行動的關鍵缺陷。警方應考慮以圍幕擋住現場,令攝影機拍不到巴士。

七、做不到突擊效果

槍手明瞭警方的行動,不單因為電視全程直播,也因為警方行動緩慢。警察沒有嘗試引開槍手的注意力,因此進攻時做不到突擊效果。

八、沒有保護圍觀者

由於容許公眾站得太近,至少一人被流彈所傷。槍手的M16步槍射程達一英里,很難完全防止流彈傷人,但當局至少應該做更多人群管理措施。

九、派槍手弟弟去勸降

親屬和好朋友是雙刃劍,他們對綁匪可能有影響力,但其說話內容卻很難受控。警方找來門多薩的弟弟來勸降,結果弟弟變得激動而被警方帶走。門多薩看到電視直播,自己也激動起來。

十、訓練不足

菲律賓部分地區不時發生綁架,當局有專門應付綁架事件的特種部隊。參與今次營救人質的小隊明顯不是來自專門單位。警察在打破巴士玻璃後,將催淚彈扔進車廂,但效果不明。參與營救工作的,必須是經過長期訓練的特種部隊,熟習這類處境。

(明報)2010年8月28日 星期六 10:40
特首今日發表《香港家書》,說正要求菲律賓 政府交代,為甚麼未能答應槍手要求,以換取人質安全釋放。

以下是行政長官 曾蔭權 今日在香港電台 發表《香港家書》的全文︰

各位市民:

過去幾天,對香港來說,是充滿了震驚、哀傷、憤怒和不解;但同時亦充滿了愛心、關懷、互助和無私奉獻的人性光輝。

星期一在馬尼拉 發生的槍手脅持人質事件,導致八名港人死亡,七人受傷。很多市民透過電視直播目睹事發經過,都忍不住流淚,甚至徹夜難眠。

我和出事的家庭一樣,有機會的話,都希望可以趁著假期外遊,和家人共度歡樂時光。但想不到一個冷血、自私的槍手,一次失敗的營救行動,令我們失去了八條寶貴生命,造成了幾個家庭難以彌補的創傷。一夜之間,太太失去丈夫,子女失去父母,白頭人送黑頭人……。我們原本和這些家庭素不相識,但今日卻好像親人一樣。他們的哀痛,我們感同身受;他們的淚水,刺痛我們每一個人的心。

我會擔心,失去丈夫和女兒的梁太,失去兒子的謝生謝太,失去父親的傅氏一家,怎樣才可以撫平那麼大的創傷呢?

我亦會掛念,綽瑤和政逸失去雙親,日後漫長的成長路如何走下去呢?

其他生還者的心理創傷,甚麼時候才會平復呢?

突然而來的橫禍,令原來幸福正常的生活,溫馨密切的親情和人際關係,一下子成為過去,實在叫人難以承受。

《聖經》記載了一件事。耶穌的朋友拉匝祿因病過身。耶穌來到,看到拉匝祿的朋友為他哭泣,自己亦難過得哭起來。即使是天主的兒子,面對人間的生離死別,亦難免百感交集,悲從中來。

面對今次慘劇,我們可以做甚麼呢?

我想起《聖經》提到,我們應該「與哭泣的一同哭泣」,意思是與哀傷的人同行,陪伴他們走過一段艱難的日子,盡力幫助和支持他們。

保安局 黎棟國副局長日前到馬尼拉安排死傷者返港,連日奔波勞碌。令我最難忘的一個片段,就是他親身探望梁太,搭著她的肩膀,安慰她,和她一齊難過,親身送上的關懷和慰問。

我相信苦難可以將人連繫在一起。透過感受別人的苦難,同聲哀哭,互相扶持,可以稍稍緩和他們的痛苦,給他們一些盼望。正因如此,我們設立網上平台和18區弔唁點,又在前日進行全港默哀,讓市民可以連結在一起,表達哀痛,遙寄思念。我見到市民當日在街上,在車上,甚至在餐廳酒樓,默默悼念。這些溫情暖意,我相信家屬和傷者是感受到的。

在這裏,我呼籲各位特別關心仍然昏迷未醒的梁頌學Jason的情況。他是梁太唯一生還的孩子,我衷心祝願他早日康復。

這次事件亦再次提醒我們生命無常。我們實在應該好好關心家人、朋友,珍惜眼前人。

沉痛悼念死難者之餘,政府各方面的支援工作仍會加緊落實。我們會密切跟進家屬和傷者在生活及心理上的各種需要,盡力給予幫助。

另一方面,我們會繼續與菲律賓政府跟進調查進展。我已經去信阿奎諾總統,要求馬尼拉政府全面、專業地進行調查。調查報告至少要交代幾個重要問題,包括事件發生經過,當局與槍手談判的詳細過程,特別是為甚麼菲律賓政府未能答應槍手要求,來換取人質安全釋放;以及警方的行動詳情及背後的考慮;和死傷者致命和受傷的成因。我亦要求,報告必須有足夠事實支持。我相信,只有全面和公正的調查,才能讓香港市民得悉事實的真相,還死傷者一個公道。

這次慘劇帶來了許多哀痛。面對難以理解的冷血和暴力,我們社會要不分種族、不分國籍,互助互愛、彼此支持、團結一致,這樣,才是最有力的回應。

曾蔭權

感激玫瑰有刺

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100823/3/julk.html

(星島日報報道)最近在某本詩集裏讀到如此動人的話:「世人常因為玫瑰多刺,而埋怨上天;卻很少有人因為刺上長有玫瑰,而感謝造物主。」玫瑰有刺,還是刺有玫瑰,只視乎我們用甚麼角度去看待。也許有人聽到這番話會覺得不妥,甚至認為這不過是阿Q精神,當然是玫瑰有刺啊,玫瑰是焦點,刺只是旁枝末節,這是傳統看法,不是嗎?

  傳統不一定真實

  可我想問一下,傳統從何而來?傳統,不過是由人積累而成的習見,不一定真實,而且能夠隨時被推翻。而所謂阿Q是指扭曲事實來自欺,我不認為感激玫瑰有刺是阿Q啊,如果這樣也算是的話,那麼《聖經》所講,別把牙籤當木梁,不也是很阿Q的自欺了麼?

  在黑暗裏看到光明,還是在光明裏看到黑暗,完全取決於我們用甚麼角度去看。你可以認為世界很醜陋,美麗的只是我們的一雙眼睛;也可以相信世界很美麗,醜陋的只是我們的一雙眼睛。要活得順心、開心,就得跳出世人既有的焦點,用另一種更積極感恩的角度看待世人世事,你失去的只是世俗的共鳴共感,但你看到的,卻不止是刺,而是玫瑰色的世界。從此,你的世界跟他們不再一樣,你得到的,也不再一樣。

  愈是勇敢面對刺就愈小

  這種思考方法不能令你從此就避開所有刺堆,不再被刺到,而是讓你有了玫瑰色的方向,讓你的心情不再一樣,你會更勇敢披荊斬棘,不畏刺激,並且把刺視為一種挑戰與試煉,而不是埋怨它們,逃避它們。你越是勇敢面對,那些刺,就愈變愈小,最後,它們在不在,你已經沒有留意了。

微風吹開美麗的心
添上熱情歡欣
你又為何傷感
幻想怎可歡笑一生
祇要盡情開心
不要呆呆的等
* 情緒感到亂紛紛
不要讓眉緊鎖
快樂悠然會近
總會找到想找那人
總會找到所想要的心
請張開美麗的心
將快樂來相分
為何自困 *
Repeat *

Des yeux qui font baisser les miens 他的雙眼吻著我的雙眼
Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche 一抹笑意掠過他的嘴角
Voila le portrait sans retouche 這就是他最真切的形象
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens 這個男人,我屬於他

*Quand il me prend dans ses bras, 當他輕擁我入懷
Qu'il me parle tout bas 低聲對我說話
Je vois la vie en rose, 我眼前浮現了玫瑰色的人生
Il me dit des mots d'amour 他對我訴說情話綿綿
Des mots de tous les jours, 只用一些平凡的字眼
Et ça me fait quelque chose 卻讓我有所感觸
Il est entre dans mon coeur, 有一種幸福
Une part de bonheur 進入了我的心房
Dont je connais la cause, 我知道是為什麼
C'est lui(toi) pour moi,moi pour lui(toi) dans la vie 我們是為了對方存在的一對
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie. 他對我這樣說,以生命起誓
Et des que je l'apercois 然後我一想到這些
Alors je sens en moi 我就感覺到

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is La vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And tho I close my eyes
I see La vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak...
angels sing from above
Everyday words seem...
to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose...

10 Dos & Don'ts of Corporate Culture

http://www.rd.com/home-garden/10-dos--donts-of-corporate-culture/article142000.html#slide

Interoffice Dating
DO be discreet. Date someone on an equal playing field or outside of your department. Be ready to accept the consequences. DON'T allow it to interfere with work. DON'T make co-workers feel uncomfortable.

Dress Attire
DO pay attention to the FACS: the fit, the accessories, the color and the style. Dress conservatively. DON'T go for the "sexy" look.

Personal Problems
DO leave your personal problems at the door. DON'T overload listeners with details. Avoid the following topics: Divorce, childhood traumas, gross medical problems, the history of your family's mental problems and prison activity.

Gossip
DO realize that co-workers are gossiping about you and that gossiping does not lead to you fitting in. Instead, find a positive exit strategy and walk away. DON'T start the gossip. If you are gossiping a lot, your job may be boring, and you should find more productive ways to fill your time.

Tardiness
DO follow the corporate culture, but be aware of your co-worker's perception of you. DON'T show up late to a meeting or an appointment and appear ill-prepared. It’s always best to be five minutes early and prepared.

Making a Mistake
DO give an explanation, and collect the facts. Calmly address the problem with the proper solution. DON'T place blame or react in abrupt manner.

Sick Days
DO take a mental health day if one is needed. Consider the benefits compared to your productivity as an employee. When requesting one, be honest with your supervisor about your mental wellness. DON'T call in sick when you are healthy, and do not post what you did on any social networking sites.

Lunch
DO keep in mind your own work rhythm. Taking lunch could cause you to become less productive or allow you to meet new people and return with a fresh outlook. DON'T stay too long or allow it to take precedence over a meeting or a deadline.

Instant messenger and E-Mail
DO be specific and clear. Pay attention the culture of your department, which can cause these forms of communication to be laid-back or more formal. DON'T use abbreviations. DON'T assume that the responder has access to the background information on a project. Rather, brief them on the topic prior to asking a question.

Quirky Habits
DO accept yours and your co-workers' quirks. Calmly approach co-workers about their annoying habits, since they are usually unaware of them. DON'T allow your habits or someone else's to affect the productivity of the department. Be sure not to be guilty of these top 5 annoying habits:
1. A demanding attitude
2. Consistently being late to functions
3. Talking with your mouth full
4. Talking too loudly on the phone
5. Stealing co-workers' lunches or equipment

24 Things You Might Be Saying Wrong user

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/24-things-you-might-be-saying-wrong-2338028/

by Reader's Digest Magazine, on Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:23am PDT

You never mean: Could care less

You always mean: Couldn't care less

Why: You want to say you care so little already that you couldn't possibly care any less. When the Boston Celtics' Ray Allen said, "God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot," we know he meant exactly the opposite because 1) God has other things on his mind, and 2) God is a Knicks fan.

You might say: Mano a mano

You might mean: Man-to-man

Why: You don't speak Spanish by adding vowels to the end of English words, as a columnist describing father–teenage son relationships seemed to think when he wrote, "Don't expect long, mano a mano talks." Mano a mano (literally, "hand to hand") originated with bullfighting and usually refers to a knock-down, drag-out direct confrontation.

You might say: Less

You might mean: Fewer

Why: In general, use fewer when you're specifying a number of countable things ("200 words or fewer"); reserve less for a mass ("less than half"). So when you're composing a tweet, do it in 140 characters or fewer, not less.

You never mean: Hone in

You always mean: Home in

Why: Like homing pigeons, we can be single-minded about finding our way to a point: "Scientists are homing in on the causes of cancer." Hone means "to sharpen": "The rookie spent the last three seasons honing his skills in the minor leagues." But it's easy to mishear m's and n's, which is probably what happened to the Virginia senator who said, "We've got to hone in on cost containment." If you're unsure, say "zero in" instead.

You might say: Bring

You might mean: Take

Why: The choice depends on your point of view. Use bring when you want to show motion toward you ("Bring the dog treats over here, please"). Use take to show motion in the opposite direction ("I have to take Rufus to the vet"). The rule gets confusing when the movement has nothing to do with you. In those cases, you can use either verb, depending on the context: "The assistant brought the shot to the vet" (the vet's point of view); "the assistant took the shot to the doctor" (the assistant's).

You might say: Who

You might mean: Whom

Why: It all depends. Do you need a subject or an object? A subject (who) is the actor of the sentence: "Who left the roller skates on the sidewalk?" An object (whom) is the acted-upon: "Whom are you calling?" Parents, hit the Mute button when Dora the Explorer shouts, "Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?"

You almost never mean: Brother-in-laws, runner-ups, hole in ones, etc.

You almost always mean: Brothers-in-law, runners-up, holes in one, etc.

Why: Plurals of these compound nouns are formed by adding an s to the thing there's more than one of (brothers, not laws). Some exceptions: words ending in ful (mouthfuls) and phrases like cul-de-sacs.

You almost never mean: Try and

You almost always mean: Try to

Why: Try and try again, yes, but if you're planning to do something, use the infinitive form: "I'm going to try to run a marathon." Commenting on an online story about breakups, one woman wrote, "A guy I dated used to try and impress me with the choice of books he was reading." It's no surprise that the relationship didn't last.

You almost never mean: Different than

You almost always mean: Different from

Why: This isn't the biggest offense, but if you can easily substitute from for than (My mother's tomato sauce is different from my mother-in-law's), do it. Use than for comparisons: My mother's tomato sauce is better than my mother-in-law's.

You almost never mean: Beg the question

You almost always mean: Raise the question

Why: Correctly used, "begging the question" is like making a circular argument (I don't like you because you're so unlikable). But unless you're a philosophy professor, you shouldn't ever need this phrase. Stick to "raise the question."

You might say: More than

You can also say: Over

Why: The two are interchangeable when the sense is "Over 6,000 hats were sold." We like grammarian Bryan Garner's take on it: "The charge that over is inferior to more than is a baseless crotchet."

You almost never mean: Supposably

You almost always mean: Supposedly

Why: Supposably is, in fact, a word—it means "conceivably"—but not the one you want if you're trying to say "it's assumed," and certainly not the one you want if you're on a first date with an English major or a job interview with an English speaker.

You might say: All of

You probably mean: All

Why: Drop the of whenever you can, as Julia Roberts recently did, correctly: "Every little moment is amazing if you let yourself access it. I learn that all the time from my kids." But you need all of before a pronoun ("all of them") and before a possessive noun ("all of Julia's kids").

You might say: That

You might mean: Which

Why: "The money that is on the table is for you" is different from "the money, which is on the table, is for you." That pinpoints the subject: The money that is on the table is yours; the money in my pocket is mine. Which introduces an aside, a bit of extra information. If you remove "which is on the table," you won't change the meaning: The money is for you (oh, and unless you don't want it, it's on the table). If the clause is necessary to your meaning, use that; if it could safely be omitted, say which.

You never mean: Outside of

You always mean: Outside

Why: These two prepositions weren't meant for each other. Perfectly acceptable: "Wearing a cheese-head hat outside Wisconsin will likely earn you some stares and glares (unless you're surrounded by Green Bay Packers fans, that is)."

You might say: Each other

You might mean: One another

Why: Tradition says that each other should be used with two people or things, and one another with more than two, and careful speakers should follow suit: "The three presenters argued with one another over who should announce the award, but Ann and Barbara gave each other flowers after the ceremony." (By the way, if you need the possessive form of either one when writing that business letter, it's always each other's and one another's; never end with s'.)


8 Confusing Pairs

leery, wary: suspicious
weary: tired

farther: for physical distance
further: for metaphorical distance or time

principle: rule
principal: of your school

compliment: nice thing to say
complement: match

continual: ongoing but intermittent
continuous: without interruption

stationary: stands still
stationery: paper

imply: to suggest a meaning
infer: to draw meaning from something

affect: typically a verb, meaning "to act upon or cause an effect"; as a noun, it's "an emotional response"
effect: typically a noun, meaning "something produced," like a special effect; as a verb, "to bring about," as in "to effect change"

One letter on a plane ticket says a lot about you

By SAMANTHA BOMKAMP, AP Airlines Writer
Wed Aug 25, 5:25 pm ET

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20100825/ap_tr_ge/us_travel_flight_plan_ticket_codes

NEW YORK – There are a few bits of information to pay close attention to on an airline ticket: the flight number, gate number and boarding time. Fare basis code? Not a common concern.

But the single-letter code can make a big difference in some parts of the travel experience, even though most passengers don't pay any attention. A fare basis code further divides passengers into classes based on how much they paid and how far out they booked. There are about a dozen in coach class alone.

When you're on the plane, there's no difference in service between a passenger who has a "Y" or "Q" — a full-fare and a discounted ticket — if you're both in coach. But the codes are still important: Some indicate your trip isn't eligible for frequent-flier miles or an upgrade; others tell a ticket agent where to rank you on a standby list.

Deciphering the code

The letters airlines assign to certain levels of coach can vary widely, but a couple are universal. "Y" class is a widespread denotation for the highest class in coach among most major airlines, according to Jami Counter, senior director of TripAdvisor Flights and a former pricing strategist at American Airlines. These tickets are usually fully refundable, last-minute coach fares purchased mainly by business travelers. They're the most expensive tickets, but they have the most flexibility.

Some others that are generally used among the airlines: "J" or "C" usually indicate business class. "F" and "P" denote first class or premium.

Why are the codes there?

Airline tickets weren't always so complicated. Codes were developed as the airlines created complex systems that let them make more money per ticket.

The fare basis code is found on most e-tickets by itself, but it can also be shown as the first letter of a longer code with a mix of other letters and numbers.

The rundown

The good news: The better code you have, the better your chance of not getting bumped. You also might receive more frequent flier miles if you're in the top tiers. The bad news: The main way to improve your code is to pay more. Most leisure travelers wouldn't think of forking over double or triple the usual fare for a refundable ticket or more perks. But there are ways to avoid hassles without paying through the roof.

One way to prevent bumping with a discounted ticket? Check in early. In addition to ranking by price, airlines also prioritize passengers by check-in order. Get in the habit of checking in online 24 hours before your flight. You can even check bags online through most airlines, and just drop them off at a counter when you arrive at the airport.

But fare classes aren't just important when it comes to keeping your seat. Fare classes are also key if you want to upgrade your ticket. Generally, "Y," "B" and "M" are the only coach fares that are upgradeable. You can search by fare class directly on most airline websites.

If building up frequent flier miles is important to you, avoid auction tickets on sites like Hotwire and Priceline where you name your own price, or don't see all the flight information before you book. Those tickets, like Hotwire "Hot Rates," are often ineligible for frequent flier miles. The cheapest tickets doled out to certain travel agents also aren't always eligible, either. It's important in these cases to always read the fine print, because whether you're going to the next state or around the world, you may be out of luck.

On the other end of the spectrum, Counter said passengers with the highest-ranked fare basis codes are eligible to get more than the standard miles, sometimes 150 percent, for their flight.

英國軍情六處僱員伏屍家中 
2010-08-26 09:54:45 TDM news

英國軍情六處1名僱員被發現伏屍家中,估計死去大約2星期,警方循謀殺方向調查。死者是年約30歲的白人男子,警方星期一在這名男子位於倫敦中部軍情六處總部附近的住所內發現他倒斃,屍體被塞入旅行袋,再放在浴缸內。死者的同事發覺他失蹤10天之後報警,警方破門入屋發現屍體,初步驗屍未能確定死因,要進一步檢驗。政府發言人不願透露死者是否為英國情報部門工作。

此人倒斃,即死了屍體伏在地上, 但為何文內直述屍體被塞入旅行袋,再放在浴缸內,兩個狀態如何一起發生?

倒斃的用法不當!

Taxi Driver

Last week, took a taxi back home in the early morning from Taipa.

The driver was very talkative and seemed to be very nice, he mentioned this and that during the trip.

By the time the taxi arrived my place, the driver told me the charge, and I gave him a 100 patacas note.

He didn't say anything, but quickly checked his money and gave me the change.

I was relieved to be home, however, when I checked the receipt, I realised that he over-charged me. What a driver!!!!

I think this is a dishonest behaviour, all my good impressions of this driver disappear!!

《娱乐至死》

http://book.douban.com/subject/1062193/


简介 · · · · · ·

  《娱乐至死》是对20世纪后半叶美国文化中最重大变化的探究和哀悼:印刷术时代步入没落,而电视时代蒸蒸日上;电视改变了公众话语的内容和意义;政治、宗教、教育和任何其他公共事务领域的内容,都不可避免的被电视的表达方式重新定义。电视的一般表达方式是娱乐。一切公众话语都日渐以娱乐的方式出现,并成为一种文化精神。一切文化内容都心甘情愿地成为娱乐的附庸,而且毫无怨言,甚至无声无息,“其结果是我们成了一个娱乐至死的物种”。

作者简介 · · · · · ·

From Manila to Chocolate Hills - Bohol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_Hills

Long time ago, A recommended this place for me, and I was thinking that I would love to visit one day, but with the Hong Kong tourists held hostage in Manila, I need to re-think about this.

First Floor Hot Pot - 2010.8.24

Wandering in the street and looking for place for dinner, and met a Chinese restaurant called "First Floor Hot Pot" in Nape.

MOP70 per person with unlimited order for food - it was very attractive, however, there was no table, thus needed to wait.

By the time got the table, it was already 10 - and the price was lowered to MOP60 per person - with extra 10% service charge and the charge for two small plates for MOP5 each.

The restaurant was full, service was OK, but the food I chose was good - I like the beef and the chicken with wine - very delicious, by the time after 10, it was not so crowded as around the dinner time.

It can be a good place for gathering - friends meet together and have a nice Hot Pot - so wonderful!

E recommended this place for me long time ago, and I have been there for few times, I like the place when there were not many people in the shop, however, definitely not the people smoked inside the place.

It has been long time, and last night, went to Chez Vous and had a drink, there was only one table, it was quite good, good time to relax and chat!!

Too bad that there were not many snacks for selection, and the time I arrived was almost the closing time.

Didn't stay long.

During the stay, I saw several customers entered in, and also were disappointed to know that the opening hours was up to 10, it was still early!!

Song - Norwegian Wood

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY5i4-rWh44

I once had a girl,
or should I say,
she once had me.

She showed me her room,
isn't it good,
norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug,
biding my time,
drinking her wine.

We talked until two and then she said,
"It's time for bed."

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.

And when I awoke I was alone,
this bird had flown.

So I lit a fire,
isn't it good,
norwegian wood.

Consulting Chinese Medicine Doctor

Have been coughing for two weeks, though have tried several treatment, still didn't have any good improvement.

This morning, M called and chatted for a while, and she recommended one doctor who is closed to my home.

Actually, my colleague mentioned this doctor to me few days ago, thus, went to consult this doctor instead of my existing one.

Arrived there around 11AM, and waited for half an hour - in front of his consultation area - as the shop is not very big.

The doctor is a Chinese medicine doctor, looks young but seems that he has experience and he has plenty of people consulting him.

When it was my turn, it was pretty quick. I told him my conditions, and he checked my pulses, then, he wrote down the prescriptions.

The shop assistants were also very professional, I saw them taking all kinds of medicines, according to the list, without any measurement but more or less of the quantity.

Then, I brought home with four pack of Chinese herbal medicines.

Have to boil the medicine at home - this is my Sunday program!

"How the mighty fall?"Jim collins

http://www.amazon.com/How-Mighty-Fall-Companies-Never/dp/0977326411/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_2

Amidst the desolate landscape of fallen great companies, Jim Collins began to wonder: How do the mighty fall? Can decline be detected early and avoided? How far can a company fall before the path toward doom becomes inevitable and unshakable? How can companies reverse course?

In How the Mighty Fall, Collins confronts these questions, offering leaders the well-founded hope that they can learn how to stave off decline and, if they find themselves falling, reverse their course. Collins' research project--more than four years in duration--uncovered five step-wise stages of decline:

Stage 1: Hubris Born of Success

Stage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More

Stage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril

Stage 4: Grasping for Salvation

Stage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death

By understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom.

Great companies can stumble, badly, and recover.

Every institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fall and most eventually do. But, as Collins' research emphasizes, some companies do indeed recover--in some cases, coming back even stronger--even after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4.

Decline, it turns out, is largely self-inflicted, and the path to recovery lies largely within our own hands. We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history, or even our staggering defeats along the way. As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains. The mighty can fall, but they can often rise again.

Song - Morning has broken

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TWd3skb-Rw

Morning has broken - Cat Stevens

Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Song - The Rose

Song - You 've Got a Friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7RPCFfudmU

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

Song - Here Comes the Sun

The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun Lyrics

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnXNt4fJqj4


The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
your face, your face

Song - Both Sides Now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcrEqIpi6sg

Joni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, i've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions i recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; i've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions i recall.
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "i love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.

人在旅途

原本三小時多的機程,
因為重重波折,
由下午2時,
開始在機場等,
直至晚上11時才能最終起飛.

回澳門時,
已是早上2時,
但等的士的人多達20多人,
卻良久才來一部一部的士,
沒有駕車的同事也說:
此時是考驗一個人是否有一個可半夜電話找幫忙的朋友,
若沒有的話,
應好好檢討!

到家時,已接近3時!

非常的想好好睡一下.

天使與魔鬼的綜合體,讓歐美讀者又愛又恨的作家

一九六四年出生。  

他在妻子三十六歲時因癌症離開人世後,帶著他的小女兒搬到澳洲去生活,為了療癒心中的傷痛,他著手寫下了《陪妳到最後》。這本幾乎可以說是他人生翻版的小說,在二○○三年出版後,於荷蘭的銷售量已突破一百萬冊,更售出三十餘國翻譯版權。二○○六年更榮獲荷蘭國家讀者文學獎(JK羅琳的《哈利波特──火盃的考驗》荷文版於二○○一年亦曾奪得此獎項)。

17歲時,他會講德語跟英語,還會開車和游泳,說得出南美洲每一國的首都。

27歲時,他可以連喝二十杯啤酒也不會吐,可以倒掛金勾傳球給左後衛腿也不斷。   

但直到37歲,太太得了不治之癥,雍容大方離去,他才發現,自己不會說再見。   

幸福的列車驟然脫軌,從此只剩他和三歲的小女兒相依為命。   

他流連夜店,日日笙歌,他以為他能夠麻醉和忘卻。   

可是生活卻變得越來越糟。   

誰能帶他重回起點,尋找自我?   

一次大手牽小手的澳洲旅行,一段父女相依的溫馨時光,翻開陽光燦爛的新一頁。   終有一天,我們都要學會說再見,對無法改變的事實,對不得不黯然逝去的時間,對喜愛的衣飾,對珍貴的友人,然後,是終將消逝的生命。  

原來,這不是結束,而是下一程的開始。
  
隨後他在二○○六年出版了續集《鰥夫的日子》(De weduwnaar),亦深獲好評。  

成為暢銷書作家後,他辭去原本的工作,專心寫作。獨自一人坐在家中的電腦前寫作,已經成為他最喜愛的事,因為沒有人教他怎麼寫,所以他可以快樂地用自己的方式寫心中的故事。

Sherman J. Alexie, Jr., was born in October 1966. A Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, he grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, WA, about 50 miles northwest of Spokane, WA. Approximately 1,100 Spokane Tribal members live there.Born hydrocephalic, which means with water on the brain, Alexie underwent a brain operation at the age of 6 months and was not expected to survive. When he did beat the odds, doctors predicted he would live with severe mental retardation. Though he showed no signs of this, he suffered severe side effects, such as seizures, throughout his childhood.

Macau Drug Stores

The day before yesterday, I went to the Popular drug store.

As usual, it was crowded with the people from mainland China.

I was in the section looking for some vitamins, and by the time I was reading the information, there was a lady who was also searching for her target items, however she had problems on reading English.

By the time, I paid my items, I heard this lady asked the staff for explanation, and she told the staff that " Why the products' description do not include the Chinese language, you should know that we, people from mainland are the target customers, your store should consider this need. This is a service!".

The staff had no comments on that, but he tried to explain that the products were from foreign countries.

5小時4個記招 政府整蠱傳媒?

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100813/4/joij.html

(明報)2010年8月14日 星期六 05:10

【明報專訊】對於政治記者來說,噚日絕對係黑色星期五。以往政府高官經常半開玩笑咁話,如果有咩政治爛攤子,最好係等8號風球,或者有咩死人塌樓先推出嚟,等傳媒應接不暇。由於頭版只有一個,而一般報紙嘅社論,每天亦只會討論一個題目,因此「負面新聞」若然喺同一日推出,自然會有「排擠效應」。這樣一來,「負面新聞」的社會效應便可以降至最低!噚日,政府明顯咁用上咗這一招。

掩飾政治爛攤子?

噚日由中午開始,政府先拋出幾個「爛攤子」,打頭陣係廣管局 就民建聯 個商台 贊助節目《十八仝人愛落區》裁決結果,判定商台違反廣播條例;之後唔夠15分鐘,政府又再發新聞稿公布香港電台 個「太上皇」──顧問委員會名單。

兩單都仲未夠,兩點半再公布副局長、政治助理薪酬檢討結果,全部一律凍薪。傳媒已經頭痛緊用邊個做頭條之際,政府再嚟個最後一擊,由財爺出嚟公布新一輪遏抑樓價炒風措施。可能之前記協投訴過政府只搞「吹風會」唔開記者會,噚日政府就一反常態,5個鐘頭內幾單公布都搞個記者會,搞到Emily嘅同事由中午開始駐守政府總部,到傍晚6點先可以走!

林瑞麟 :時機成熟就公布

噚日有記者嬲得滯,問政制及內地事務局長林瑞麟係咪特登玩傳媒,定係想淡化邊單新聞?佢就話無咁嘅事,只係副局個薪酬檢討搞咗成3個月,時機成熟就公布囉!

另外,煲呔曾噚日幫《施政報告》收風,會見傳媒高層,臨行嗰陣佢拎住部iPad,話自己已經養成一個習慣,就係喺部iPad度睇晒所有報紙。如果要收費嘅就由政府支付,但日後佢退休就唔會「買」齊咁多份啦。特首言下之意,係要提醒傳媒都要應付新形勢,如果唔係好快畀人淘汰啦!

長者活得自在 獨居不孤獨

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100813/4/joip.html

(明報)2010年8月14日 星期六

【明報專訊】最新人口普查 最令大眾關注的,除了社會進一步女多男少外,就是人口老化會持續。根據聯合國 定義,一個國家或地區60歲以上人口佔總人口的一成以上時,就進入老齡化社會,而香港19區中,已有13個區錄得這樣的數字。

人老了都希望安享晚年,幾代同堂當然開心,入住老人院也是其中一個選擇,兩者都能得到較好的照顧,但近年愈來愈多長者選擇獨居。

荔景村是本港典型的「長者村」,走進村裏,不難看見長者圍在一起乘涼聊天的情景,原來村內兩成人口是65歲以上,住了30多年。別以為獨居就是孤單,說是晚年坎坷,其實獨居生活一樣可以精彩,取決於你如何度過。

獨身婆婆做個愛美快活人

85歲的郝寬婆婆年輕時打住家工,工作忙碌,出外的機會不多,在28歲那年決定梳起不嫁,自力更生,生活優哉悠哉,現在獨居於荔景村,閒時看大戲錄像,邊看邊唱,又或到樓下社區中心坐坐,與村內老友記談談天。雖然未有愛情滋潤,但郝寬婆婆的皮膚亮麗雪白,臉上皺紋數目跟年齡不成正比。拿起桌上一瓶瓶的護膚品,在兩邊臉頰塗一點,又往額上塗一點,左搽又抹的,郝寬婆婆叮囑冬天天氣乾燥,要多用一點,200多元一小樽的潤膚露,她都捨得花錢買下來,延續年輕時的漂亮容顏,縱然婆婆笑說:「可身材卻不復當年苗條!」愛美就是女人的天性,無分年齡。愛美也是一種讓自己快樂度日的堅持。

跟「豬油撈飯」說再見

除了面容,保持身體健康也是晚年生活的關鍵。凌晨3時多,73歲的周柳心就已經梳洗好,喝一杯牛奶,吃幾塊餅乾,背起小包,拿起行山杖,準備出門晨運去,日日如是,風雨不改。周婆婆的腳步很快,每天鍛煉讓她由天黑一直動到天亮,一副精力不盡的軀體,石級、欄杆就是她做健美操的輔助器材。勤做運動之外,周婆婆也十分注重飲食,少吃多餐,不沾肥膩食物,小時愛吃的豬油撈飯更是不再吃,其實都是老掉牙的養生之道,在乎你是否重視身體,堅持還是放縱。

護士走進屋村 授護理知識

獨居的生活自由自在,但長者還是雖要社區的關懷。在荔景村,很多公公婆婆都是瑪嘉烈醫院 的「常客」,他們很多時忘記食藥,或缺乏基本健康及飲食知識。兩年前,瑪嘉烈醫院與南葵涌 服務中心合作,在荔景村推行長者互聯網計劃,派遣「一屋村一護士」跟進長者的健康狀况。本身是瑪嘉烈醫院資深護師的卓玉玲,於計劃開始時就進駐荔景村,透過家訪教導長者正確的服藥方法,又向他們提供自我護理的知識。憑著專業知識和愛心,現在卓玉玲走進村內,都有街坊跟她熱情地打招呼。

老年往往與孤獨、固執硬頸畫上等號,但只要懂得與自己的生活互動,社區亦與其互動,晚年生活仍可安逸。

Song - Try to remember

Music: Harvey Schmidt
Lyrics: Tom Jones
Book: Tom Jones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycPoxZ1NPBY

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.

雨中陽光

上班路上,
天下著雨,
忽然陽光也走出來.

在雨中看見陽光,
真有特別的感覺.

再抬頭望天,
可惜天仍是灰灰的.

似乎不是好天才來下雨,
而是,
下雨才來好天??

2010-08-11

藍天白雲

早上,
上班的路上
天氣已經很熱.

陽光亦開始很猛烈,
臨走近板樟堂教堂時,
看見美麗的藍天白雲.

配合四周的街景,
真是非常迷人.

可惜要上班去,
要同藍天白雲說再見.

不料,
回到辦公室後的不久,
只有數分鐘的光景,
室外走回來的同事告訴我
街上下起雨來.

整個早上都下著雨.

原來,
藍天白雲
可以是這麼短暫,
一剎那間,
又消失了.

七月鬼節

昨天晚上回家時,
看見街上有很多拜神後的餘物,
又提醒我踏入七月了.

自小時候已經存在的習俗節日,
估不到,仍然在澳門小城內傳承下來.

最經典的要算是用生果或冬瓜類插上數枝香,
通常還會燒街衣,
地上亦會薰得黑黑的一片片.

街角的紙料店仍然有不錯的客源,
心想, 香港,內地及台灣應該少見.
此可為澳門特色之一.

E is coming home

This morning got a mail from E, who told me he is coming back on next Monday night, as his father is very sick.

Really sorry to hear about that, it is quite difficult to see our parents when they are getting old and sick, still it is part of our life.

As his trip will be very brief, and don't know the development, hope all are going well. He said that he would call me, however, I will be out of Macau for few days, during his arrival, hope that I could make it to see him next week or so.

One dollar

Heard the story from M.

In a charity fair, there was a sale on books - 3 dollars for each.

There were plenty of people choosing the books as they were really in bargain sale - all the books were contributed by the people for charity purpose.

For the easy administrative work, the rule was - "no change", all the money went into the box. It would also welcomed people to pay more in kind or contribute their change as well.

A man chose three books and he paid 10 dollars into the box.

Then, he left.

Later on, the man came back and he chose again another two books.

But this time, he insisted to pay only 5 dollars, as he said that just now, he paid one dollar more, with that dollar, and the 5 dollars, it covered two books' cost.

The man spoke loudly and insisted to do so.

「開心原來好簡單」

(星島)2010年8月10日 星期二 05:30
(綜合報道)

(星島日報報道)現年七十一歲的安老事務委員會主席梁智鴻,經常走訪長者家庭,了解他們的需要,多次探訪中,最令他難忘的是一對老夫婦,不是因為他們生命力特別頑強,也非他們特別貧困,只因他們兩口子不但可以「貧而不怨」,而且還可以活得開心。

  長者非都想攤大手板

  「不是每一個長者都想攤大手板拎福利!」梁智鴻早前曾到九龍城一唐樓,探訪一對鶼鰈情深的老夫婦:年過八旬的丈夫須輪椅代步,老妻則年逾七十歲,兩人所住的唐樓並沒電梯,而且家在七樓,雖然房子是自置的,但兩人平日只靠領取每月合共二千元生果金過活,老妻每天更兩次到樓下的士多執拾紙皮變賣,一天四次上落七層樓梯,面不改容,連同每月變賣紙皮的二千元,兩口子靠四千元過活已感滿足。

  梁智鴻力勸老婆婆領取綜援,「只須簽一個名就可」,但不得要領。婆婆每天除有士多預留大疊紙皮外,原來茶餐廳的侍應更會留下剩餘的湯水,親自上門送給兩老,兩老感到好開心,「原來老人家開心,可能就是有人每天關心一下!」

經典意大利餐廳 Antica Trattoria









昨天晚上吃了很久沒有吃的意大利菜.

真好.

紅酒
橙汁,紅蘿蔔汁及芒果汁
美味新鮮熱熱的各式意大利麵飽
牛扒跟蘑菇汁
海鮮墨魚汁寬條麵
意大利菠菜飯

原來招牌菜包括意大利蘑菇及白松露菌薄餅, 松露菌汁扒意大利蘑菇。

可惜,侍者告訴我不得為食物照相,海鮮墨魚汁寬條麵跟上次吃的差了一些,菠菜飯一般, 可能是我不喜歡那口感,牛扒跟蘑菇汁為是晚最愛,混合的鮮果汁很特別,紅酒也不錯。

Overall, good dinner for the night 8.8 !!

五樣好東西

收到友人的電郵,抄錄如下:

"吳寶芬講師的健康講座報導,她贏得滿堂喝采下,是抽絲剝繭地打破一般人根深蒂固的錯誤飲食觀念。

五樣好東西是:

1. 睡前喝豆漿、(soya bean milk before sleep)

睡前喝豆漿:豆漿富含100%的優質胺基酸,可製造充分的生長激素,促進身體的新陳代謝,消耗體內多餘的醣份和脂肪,所以睡前喝豆漿,有減肥的的效果,這就是「胺基酸減肥法」,又叫「懶人減肥法」。

此外,大豆富含異黃酮素(天然的雌激素),可降低血液中的膽固醇,保護心臟,預防心肌梗塞,所以女生得心血管疾病的機率只有男生的? 誘壑坐@,異黃酮素並可抑 制人體鈣質的流失,還可預防與基因遺傳有關的乳癌與腸癌,因此睡前喝上一杯 250cc的豆漿,冷熱甜淡隨意,可讓您有一個好睡眠、好體質。

但是現在市面上的黃豆有80%是基因改造的,目前基因改造的食品對人體的影響如何還未可知,購買非基因改造豆漿,建議購買無防腐劑喔,睡前喝比早上喝的效益更大。

2. 吃水果比吃蔬菜好、(fruits are better than vegetables)

吃水果比吃蔬菜好:當個「好色之徒」吧,吃水果要選香的,顏色鮮豔的,含有大量松脂,多吃對身體有益。且吃水果比吃蔬菜好,松脂成分可抗壓,如芒果要選土芒 果,葡萄要吃紫葡萄,西瓜選無子大紅西瓜,蜜瓜選綠色的,哈蜜瓜要選肉色的,水果中以榴璉的松脂居第一。然今後別再吃西柚因會抑制肝的解毒!

3. 綠茶效益勝過水(green tea is better than plain water)

建議喝綠茶來代替水和紅茶,因水帶不走身上不好的物質,紅茶為已發酵的熟茶,因此綠茶優於紅茶,多喝綠茶可以降低巴金森,且綠茶含兒茶素,能保護關節軟骨緩解疼痛。另外,泡過後無味的綠茶包,可用來擦過敏的皮膚跟濕疹唷!

4. 天天來杯咖啡吧(a daily coffee is good for you)

喝咖啡選阿拉伯豆:每天一杯咖啡,喝咖啡的好處是咖啡可抑制多巴胺L-Dopa,預防老化、巴金森氏症、防癌,咖啡會活化大腦命令四肢時所需要的傳導物,年老以後身手較為協調,壞處是喝咖啡會流失鈣與一些維他命。

懷孕前三個月禁喝,因易流產。此外,喝咖啡要選阿拉伯豆,不是爪哇豆,豆子要新鮮,放久了會產生黃麴毒素。


5. 將癌細胞改邪歸正的蕃薯(sweet potato can get away the cancelcells)

蕃薯導正病變細胞:蕃薯含神經節肝酯,能導正病變細胞;且蕃薯可以減肥,因為其澱粉是水溶性纖維,不會囤積體內。

蕃薯的甜味是多醣,對人體有益,比吃飯更有飽足感,建議一週可用一餐蕃薯代替飯來吃。蕃薯愈紅愈甜愈好,烤的比水煮和蒸的好,且烤後連皮一起吃更好。

專作放射線之醫師,認為『微波爐』會利用電波少一個正價電子,運用水分子之震盪使食物變熱,所以食物易變成自由基,就會容易致癌。所以偶而方便用一下,最好還是少用『微波爐』最好!

以下文章值得參考

人體內的有毒物質主要來源於兩個途徑:一是大氣與水源中的污染物、通過呼吸及進餐而侵入人體內,鉛、鋁、汞等重金屬就是其代表;另一個是食物在體內代謝後的廢物,如自由基、硫化氫等。時下,清除體內垃圾已成健康時尚。

下? C方法可幫您及時清除體內毒素。

1. 主動咳嗽法: (proactive cough)
自然界中的粉塵、金屬微粒及廢氣中的毒性物質,通過呼吸進入肺臟,既損害肺 臟,又通過血液迴圈而!株連'全身。借助主動咳嗽可以'清掃'肺臟。每天到室外空氣
清新處做深呼吸運動,深吸氣時緩緩抬起雙臂,然後主動咳嗽,使氣流從口、鼻中噴
出,咳出痰液。

2. 飲水沖洗法:(have a cup of plain water after getting up in the morning)
定時排便,縮短糞便在腸道內的停留時間,及時排出糞便中的毒素。每天清晨空腹喝一杯溫開水,有利於大便通暢以及毒素從尿液中排出。

3. 運動出汗法:(do exercises)
皮膚也是排泄毒素的途徑,主要通過出汗的方式,讓毒素隨汗液排出體外。

4. 巧用食物法:
●常飲鮮果、鮮菜汁(不經炒煮),鮮果、鮮菜汁是體內'清潔劑',牠們能排除體內堆
積的毒素和廢物。(fruit and vegetable juices are good)

●常吃海帶,海帶對放射性物質有特別的親和力,海帶膠質能促使體內的放射性物質 隨著大號排出體外,從而減少放射性物質在人體內的積聚,也減少了放射性疾病的發生率。( sea weeds are good)
●常喝綠豆湯,綠豆湯能輔助排泄體內的毒素,促進機體的正常代謝。(green bean soup helps metabolism)

PS. 看完後,請不要吝嗇,盡快轉寄給你的朋友

前言
  李宗吾被譽為“影響20世紀中國的20位奇才怪傑之一”,他的厚黑學更是引起了很多人的關注。李宗吾的著述涉及哲學、社會學、心理學、教育學,凡百餘萬言,在經歷了20世紀40年代的轟動效應之後,逐漸在思想史上呈現了深遠的影響力和衝擊波,開啟了對國民性反思的思辨之路。在華人學術領域,林語堂、梁實秋、柏楊、李敖、南懷瑾、張默生、李石鋒等學問大家對李宗吾的思想進行了多方位的推演和研究,紛紛指出,李宗吾在文化史尤其是思想史上具有不可替代性和不可僭越性。當然,也有人對厚黑學大加抨擊,但是,捧之也好,貶之也好,厚黑學之能夠引起人們的反思,就足以說明它的深邃性。
  李宗吾從“厚黑”的角度分析了歷史上著名人物的成敗得失。人們千百年來想說而沒有說出來的話,卻被李宗吾說了出來,而且這麼明瞭直白,毫不遮遮掩掩。從這一點上來說,李宗吾是一個很有勇氣的四川人。是啊,當你讀過厚黑學之後,再回過頭看看那些成就帝王大業的人,哪一個不是厚黑之輩呢?諸葛亮堪稱天下奇才,但是遇到了司馬懿這樣厚黑的人物,也是幹著急沒辦法。項羽絕對堪稱蓋世英雄,為什麼身死烏江,為後人所惋惜?臉皮不如劉邦厚,好逞匹夫之勇,讓劉邦屢屢得逞;為婦人之仁,是心有所不忍,心腸不黑,讓劉邦取得天下。
  厚黑學的精髓是臉厚心黑。李宗吾把厚黑分成三個層次:第一步是厚如城墻,黑如煤炭;第二步是厚而硬,黑而亮;第三步是厚而無形,黑而無色。
  不管在什麼時代,生活總有現實的一面,而現實往往是無情的,不會因為人們的意志而轉移。而厚黑學正是讓我們用非常理性、非常現實的思維來審視社會,審視生活。正如李宗吾所說:“我們熟讀《厚黑學》,就知道又厚又黑的人到處都有,在為人處世的時候,就不會被厚黑之輩愚弄了。”我們讀厚黑學,當然不是為了讓自己學會如何去厚顏無恥、心狠手辣地幹壞事。厚黑之道,有時候只是一種現實中必要的方式或手段而已,對錯並不在於手段本身,而是在於人用它來幹什麼。這就像砒霜可以人藥治病救人,也可以下毒圖財害命。另外,在某些特殊時刻,比如遭受侮辱的時候,被人欺負的時候,遭遇小人的時候,往往厚黑之道就是我們最好的自我保護手段,甚至可以以惡治惡。
  《厚黑學活學活用》在深度挖掘李宗吾之厚黑學精髓的基礎上,總結出極其有效、極其實用的厚黑之道,這些厚黑之道能讓你輕鬆應對生活中的各種難題,能讓你在求人辦事時得心應手,能讓你在事業的成功之路上更快捷、更順利地達到你預期的高峰,能讓你在處世時暢通無阻。如果你是一個渴求擁有完美人生的人,那麼你一定要好好地讀讀它。《厚黑學活學活用》一書共分八大板塊:為人處世厚黑學、求人辦事厚黑學、說話厚黑學、商場厚黑學、職場厚黑學、古代官場厚黑學、用人管人厚黑學、情場厚黑學。每一個板塊都緊緊結合自身的特點,將厚黑之道一一總結。
