Lesson Learned

Yesterday went to the flower shop to order some flowers.

Checked the price and asked for information. As I didn't have much time, decided to pay first and provide  preliminary information, then told them to give details later.

This morning, fax the information there, then called the boss.  However, she told me she could not read the fax, as she said the quality of the text was not good.

I explained to her and asked her to confirm the names, at that time, I realised that her reading on names was terrible, and I corrected her. She told me no problem.

During lunch time, as I was afraid they made mistakes, I rushed to the shop and checked the names again, at that time, the shop assistance was working on the flowers - she told me the names were on the table - not yet prepared, and I asked her to confirm with me by reading each name - this time everything seemed OK.

However, at last, this evening, it came out that two names were miswrote, one was mine.  What a shop!!

Though this is only minor thing, I learn that we should not assume people understand everything, it is better to print black and white, nobody can read the handwriting easily.

Gathering

Tonight had a small gathering with my high school friends, though we havn't seen each other, we still have plenty of topics to discuss and share. Time is too short.

One thing also reminds me - Oct 5 is E's birthday, while Oct 6 is L's birthday.  I was the only one who could mention this out.

It has been a long history in life, after so many years, suddently, it just comes back to my memory; however, I miss one more -  Oct 4 is also one of my friend's birthday, but who ?

Don't know. Can't remember!?

25 Amazing Food Cures

By David Zinczenko
Sep 27, 2010

As kids, my brother Eric and I fought like wild animals. He still sports a scar above his lip from a cut I accidentally gave him, and my nose isn't quite as straight as it might be if I hadn't taken so many shots to it. We're as close as can be today, but back in our teen years, we sported many a bruised ego and blackened eye. And the home remedy for the latter? A hunk of steak.

Turns out, a lot of moms don't have the whole story when it comes to food cures. Cold is good for a bruise, but meat doesn't do anything more than a bag of ice would. But there are plenty of foods that are effective home remedies for curing everything from pounding headaches to potency issues to procrastination. Take these 25 secret food cures, for instance. Incorporate these wonderfoods into your daily diet, and you'll be surprised at how quickly your body and your mind react.

Please don't do this!!

Today, after work, went to the boutique to pick up my suit.

The shop was very crowded, with several customers choosing their favorite clothes.

The shop itself is not a big shop, but with several shop assistants to help the customers.

However, from time to time, I can hear the shop assistants commented about the other customers who had just left.

I didn't feel comfortable in such environment, as I was thinking that the shop assistants could talk with the other customers in front of me, how about me?

The shop assistants should respect their customers and be professional, they should not discuss or comment the other customers in the shop, especially there are other customers.

Be remember,they are your CUSTOMERS!!

Song - Hier Kommt Alex lyrics

In einer Welt
in der man nur noch lebt

damit man täglich roboten geht

ist die größte Aufregung
die es noch gibt

das allabendliche Fernsehbild.
Jeder Mensch lebt wie ein Uhrwerk

wie ein Computer programmiert

es gibt keinen
der sich dagegen wehrt

nur ein paar Jugendliche sind frustriert.
Wenn am Himmel die Sonne untergeht beginnt für die Droogs der Tag

in kleinen Banden sammeln sie sich
geh'n gemeinsam auf die Jagd.

Hey
hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorshow

Hey
hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für ein kleines bißchen
Horrorshow!

Auf dem Keuzzug gegen die Ordnung und die scheinbar heile Welt
zelebrieren sie die Zerstörung
Gewalt und Brutalität.
Erst wenn sie ihre Opfer leiden seh'n spüren sie Befriedigung

es gibt nichts mehr
was sie jetzt aufhält
in ihrer gnadenlosen Wut.

Hey
hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorshow
...

Zwanzig gegen einen bis das Blut zum Vorschein kommt

ob mit Stöcken oder Steinen
irgendwann platzt jeder Kopf.
Das nächste Opfer ist schon dran

wenn ihr den lieben Gott noch fragt:
Warum hast du nichts getan
nichts getan?

Hey
hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für seine Horrorshow
...
Hey
hier kommt Alex
Vorhang auf für ein kleines bißchen
Horrorshow!

有時候我覺得自己像一隻小小鳥 
想要飛 卻怎麼樣也飛不高
也許有一天我棲上了枝頭卻成為獵人的目標
我飛上了青天才發現自己從此無依無靠

每次到了夜深人靜的時候我總是睡不著
我懷疑是不是只有我的明天沒有變得更好
未來會怎樣究竟有誰會知道
幸福是否只是一種傳說我永遠都找不到

我是一隻小小小小鳥 想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱 
這樣的要求 算不算 太高
我是一隻小小小小鳥 想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱 
這樣的要求 算不算 太高

所有知道我的名字的人啊你們好不好
世界是如此的小 我們註定無處可逃
當我嚐盡人情冷暖 當你決定為了你的理想燃燒
生活的壓力與生命的尊嚴那一個重要

我是一隻小小小小鳥 想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱 
這樣的要求 算不算 太高
我是一隻小小小小鳥 想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱 
這樣的要求 算不算 太高
我是一隻小小小小鳥 想要飛呀飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高
我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱 
這樣的要求 算不算 太高
這樣的要求 算不算 太高

"點亮生命"

耶穌基督來到世界,是要點亮眾人的生命。
本書用最簡單的用語及生活上的小故事,來告訴大家,
與神同行,生命便能發光發熱,亦能擁有永生的盼望。

  關於生命的價值和永生的美好,讓王建(火宣)與你分享!

  世界上,除了名利、財富之外,是否真有所謂「永生」值得我們追尋?許多人是否因為他人或自己的「罪性」,帶給別人與社會無窮的災難與痛苦?作者透過《聖經》中耶穌說自己是道路、真理、生命,闡述人的生命若是可以與神同行,必定能化解罪的傷害並擁有永生的盼望。

中國經濟崛起 成美日眼中釘

(星島日報 報道)中日有關釣魚台列島的爭端正不斷升高,清華大學國際問題研究所副所長劉江永表示,未來視發展情況可能還會升級。如果日方司法起訴中國漁船船長,那將使情況更複雜。

  北京大學國際關係學院教授梁雲祥分析,溫家寶提及的對日「進一步行動」,主要應是經濟制裁,甚至可能宣布單獨開發東海春曉油氣田。但這樣可能引發軍事衝突。

"NO !"

Today, discussed with my Portuguese colleague about my impression on the Portuguese.

She agreed with my observation that most of Portuguese would say "NO" before entering into a deep discussion, but later on, with some explanation, they may change their mind to accept the proposals.

At the same time, I told her that  for Japaneses, they may keep everything inside without expressing their views - I have few Japanese, and I learned the experiences.

She also told me her experiences on Chinese culture - and I quite agree - If you want to get some approvals from the Chinese, one should better ask the other person to ask directly, this is better to give some space for rejection, to save " face".

I also told her another experience - the Chinese may not directly say no, but let the answer flows in the air - you will never get the answer of no - but with no answer :)

融入父母姓氏成潮流 4字姓名遞增

(商台)2010年9月21日 星期二 12:15

【商台互動中華組】歐陽、司徒、慕容等傳統複姓見慣不怪,近年出現很多特別複姓,部分獨生子女名字都融入父親和母親姓氏,因此出現更多4字姓名。

4字名字受老師同學歡迎

劉楊懿寬和余梁是重慶市第七中學初二(8)班同班同學,兩人姓名均融入了父親和母親姓氏。劉楊懿寬表示因姓名特別,自小就常被老師點名答問題,同時讓他人緣更佳、更受同學們歡迎。劉楊懿寬媽媽楊鍔坦言最初是不想孩子名字出現重名情況才加上父母姓氏,而「懿寬」二字都融入夫妻倆對孩子期望,希望他將來是一個擁有良好品德和心胸廣闊的人。

雖然余梁姓名不像劉楊懿寬有4個字,但也融入父母姓氏和寄望。余梁表示他爸爸姓余,媽媽姓梁,父母姓氏加起來就是他的名字,父母均希望他未來能成為國家棟樑。因此他也常留意名字特別的人,他坦言小學時就有5、6個同班同學是4字姓名,也有同學和他一樣,父母姓氏加起來就是其姓名。

特別複姓普及機會不大

有專家指出由於現時是「80後」獨生子女成家立室高峰期,到底隨父姓還是隨母姓成了最困難抉擇問題。不少年輕夫婦為瞭解決問題,決定將父母姓氏加入子女名字中,但由於特別復姓與傳統複姓有一定區別,而且並不普及,所以變成傳統複姓機會不大。

違令貪吃飯 報告狠批八宗罪

http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100920/4/kbne.html


(明報)2010年9月21日 星期二 05:10

【明報專訊】調查委員會報告直指慘劇中菲律賓警方、申訴專員等共犯下「八宗罪」。受到最嚴厲批評者有兩人﹕馬尼拉 市長林雯洛錯誤下令拘捕槍手門多薩的弟弟,相信是令槍手殺人的導火線;而地面指揮官、前馬尼拉警察區長馬格蒂貝則違抗總統命令,沒動用最精銳SAF特別行動組營救人質。

報告更批評,林雯洛身為危機管理委員會(CMC)主席,竟與馬格蒂貝在傍晚關鍵時刻離開指揮中心去餐廳吃飯,造成決策指揮中心真空。

三盞燈附近的亞伯蛋茶

很久沒有吃過三盞燈附近深夜才有的亞伯蛋茶.

其實很少這麼夜在街上找東西食.

有多次都遇上亞伯沒開檔.

實際上亞伯只在深夜剛開始時才以柴燒水滾蛋茶,

食客又要乖乖的在街邊跟很多人一起排隊買外賣,

真是可遇不可求.

與其說是美食,

不與說是懷舊小食.

上-次卻在街上站了15分鐘後,

才能買上一碗熱騰騰新鮮的蛋茶,

寒冬夜晚,

手持的滋潤甜湯,

真是很有滿足的感覺,

暖暖在心頭.

懷念!

營養師教路﹕極速早餐 醒腦增學習力

(明報)2010年9月21日 星期二 05:10

【明報專訊】明德國際醫院註冊營養師鍾錦玲

1. 免治牛肉蛋花粟米麥皮
材料﹕

免治牛肉1安士、雞蛋1/4隻、新鮮粟米適量、麥皮適量

做法﹕

用少許生抽、鹽、胡椒粉、豆粉等把免治牛肉醃好,再用慢火加水煮麥皮,然後落牛肉和粟米,最後把雞蛋放上,做成蛋花即成。

營養小貼士﹕

牛肉含鐵質,麥皮是高纖碳水化合物,幫助小朋友的腦部運作。含豐富蛋白質的雞蛋不宜下太多,每碗麥皮用1/4隻已經足夠。粟米除了可作為早餐內的蔬菜,也可作為點綴,令賣相更吸引。

2. 花生醬香蕉麥包飛碟、高鈣豆奶一杯
材料﹕

麥包兩片、花生醬1湯匙、香蕉半條

做法﹕

把麥包塗上花生醬,再加入切片的香蕉,放進飛碟形焗爐,焗好即成。

營養小貼士﹕

花生醬含脂肪及蛋白質;香蕉含有維他命B6,可增強小朋友免疫力,預防疾病。麥

包含有高纖維的碳水化合物。若小朋友不喝牛奶,可選擇喝高鈣低糖的豆奶,營養價值一樣高。

3. 穀物片、牛奶一杯
材料﹕

即食穀物片、水果乾或新鮮水果

做法﹕

把新鮮水果切粒,或用提子乾等無添加糖分的乾製水果加進即食穀物片中即可。

營養小貼士﹕

穀物片含碳水化合物,大部分還加進維他命B雜、鈣、鐵質和葉酸等營養素。市面上有很多不同牌子的即食穀物片,部分有加糖,也有朱古力味道;當中有些糖分較高,建議家長可選擇每100克含糖量低於5克的穀物片。而沒有額外添加糖分的水果乾和新鮮水果,除了可令食物更美味,也含有不同的維他命、礦物質和抗氧化物等,對小朋友的健康更好。

李小加﹕人民幣國際化的發展路徑

(明報)2010年9月21日 星期二 05:05

【明報專訊】今年以來,「人民幣國際化」和「香港人民幣離岸中心」已成為香港財經界的熱門話題。人民銀行和金管局等部門適時出台了多項重要政策措施,為香港人民幣離岸中心的形成提供了必要的條件。

人民幣國際化的長遠路徑是:一,在中期內(5-10年)逐步成為廣為接受的國際貿易結算貨幣;二,在中長期(10年後)逐步開放資本項下管制後成為愈來愈重要的國際投資貨幣;三,在長期內(20年後)逐步成為儲備貨幣。

Beautiful Sunday in S. Paul Ruins Area

Walked up to the hill this morning to have a small exercise, as it was kind of late for morning exercise,a lot of sunshine with beautiful plants,I could see plenty of tourists passed by.

Visitors from main land China in groups, few Japaneses...

Four Australians said hi to me and asked how could I did exercise under such hot weather, as they were so exhausted after hiking up the hill, I told them it was OK and I enjoyed it (actually it had been long time for me to be there, as I was so lazy to hike up there).

They told me that it was so humid, and difficult for them to adjust.

Then, by the time, a lady, speaking Mandarin, passed by and told me that I dropped my money purse on the ground, she was so nice. I didn't drop it but I put it therewhen I was doing my exercises.

只是半小時,我看見不同地方的人在大炮台一帶參觀,交通工具的發達,在小小的澳門,真有天涯若比隣的感覺。

"澳門茶餐廳"

典型的茶餐厅,葡式蛋挞,  豬扒飽..............

Last night around 11PM, in the Central area-  Largo de Amizade , we were looking for places to have a drink or snack, accidentally, saw the Macau Restaurant ( typrically cafe restaurant famous for milk tea, portuguese egg tart, pork chop bun ) was still opened, thus had a light snack over there.

I heard the waitree told the other customers that the shop opens until 3AM, what a good place for the night people, other than McDonald.

From time to time, customers entered into the restaurant.

This was the second time I ate there. The food was good, and I liked it very much, but I hate the people smoked in the restaurant.

We had congee, dumplings and pork chop bun, all were excellent.  From the menu, there are plenty of choices - from sandwiches, drinks, noodles, rice, ice-creams and some expensive and delicious dishes - like abalone and crabs etc.

喝采音乐剧

昨天晚上看了喝采音乐剧, 非常喜歡,每一首的经典歌曲都十分好聽! What a a wonderful night...


春天娱乐有限公司的《喝彩》音乐剧透过三位主角(Paul, Leslie Danny)的自身遭遇,带出现今青少年面对的情绪、滥药及赌博等问题,从而鼓励年轻人勇于面对逆境或困难,题材励志。为加强感染力,演员更会在剧中演绎已故巨星张国荣Leslie Cheung和陈百强Danny Chan的40首经典歌曲,藉此向大众传扬珍惜人生、为生命喝彩的正面讯息。

可能主角們的事業發展時代與我們長大的日子差不多,我感覺像重溫舊事一樣.Danny死時,我身在美國,聽了消息時,真是覺得很意外.原來台後的他有著另外的故事.令人懷念

Song - 別了秋天

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


中午時電視播放"秋天的童話",很美的一個電影,像很久很久的事,隨著時間的流逝,又像是昨天一樣.


別了秋天
主唱: 呂方

人 生, 聚 散 似 平 常 誰 能 預 料
但 我 卻 難 忘 往 昔 分 秒
與 你 曾 留 下 往 昔 歡 笑

情 感, 是 滿 載 痛 苦 與 懊 妙
又 再 次 停 留 呆 望 這 錶
可 惜 你 今 天 已 別 去 了

曾 經 藏 著 的 愛 情
卻 不 敢 承 認
如 今 問 誰 來 做 證
只 得 風 聲 冷 冷 的 呼 應

人 生, 是 變 化 無 常 誰 能 預 料
望 再 次 尋 回 我 心 所 愛
可 惜 那 秋 天 已 別 去 了

Eating in Happy House

Yesterday, went to see a musical opera in Cultural Center, before that, ate in Happy House.

I think Happy House is one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Macau, as I remember it opened long time ago in Nam Wan,then only few years ago, it moved to Napa area.

Long time ago, there were not many choices of Japanese restaurants in Macau, the "Susi" and all kinds of Japanese dishes were quite attractive to us.  By the time one of my high school classmates started to become a  chef of Japaneses food, all my high school friends started to like the Japaneses food very much.

For me, I think freshness and cleanness are the most important on eating the Japanese food , I enjoyed very much when I ate the freshness Susi  in the fish market in  Tokyo, So wonderful and delicious!

In some shops which sell Susi in very cheap price,  I really wonder the quality of the Susi - it is better to eat in the oldest and good restaurants.

堅持唔袍唔呔型醫 「最緊要健康」莫樹錦醫生

莫樹錦真性情 醫生私下現型

(星島)2009年8月4日 星期二 06:30
(綜合報道)

(星島日報報道)有想過以莫樹錦的燦爛笑容作開版相,貫徹他的快樂醫生形象。可是鏡頭一舉,眼前人雙手交叉胸前、頭微側,已甚有型有款。明顯悉心梳理的髮型、刻意少扣兩粒鈕的恤衫、看起來像會閃的光面西裝,有人接受不來醫生是如此形象,有人卻像當天訪問時途經的幾位妙齡少女一樣停步尖叫。然而,莫醫生的底蘊,你知道多少? 文:A.Chu

  立志行醫因為圓周率?

  以表象來看一件事或一個人,最容易產生誤會。抬頭看看電視機裏的莫樹錦,花枝招展;垂下頭看這篇訪問,其實他不過是位普通醫生。「我是一個做自己本分的醫生,但本分以外,可以做很多事。」莫樹錦的理解,醫生從來只是一門職業,為何需要一副既定的「樣」?「為何攝影師可以有不同的造型,但醫生只能夠像大家所想那樣?」莫樹錦續說:「我在大學主要做Research和看症,需要我的時候我一定在。」他從來做足本分。

胡顺谦:谦谦君子 铮铮侠骨

大型纪实文献《今日华人》入编稿:

  一双永远凝视前方的眼睛,一股自然流露的浩然正气,一副爱国爱澳爱民的心肠。这就是澳门胡氏集团主席胡顺谦先生给人们留下的深刻印象。

  无论当年受到江泽民主席接见之时,还是在接受法国五旬节国际大学校长颁授名誉哲学博士学位的典礼上,还是在众多的捐赠仪式上,他总是表现得宠辱不惊、总是那么气定神闲。也许是经历了太多风霜的洗礼,也许是功成名就后的淡然,他的侠气、他的真爱遍及濠江,传达神州。

Regular or Decaf ?

I still remember the days when I was working in the restaurant.

For the morning shifts or when the customers finished their meals, whenever we had time, we held two pots of coffee - one regular and one decaf - and walked around the tables to refill the cups.

I didn't drink coffee at all, and I didn't know the difference, but I usually paid very special attention on identify the pots - this was one of the items need to follow, as we had training as the student waitress in the dining room, e.g. how to serve from the right hand side of customers, or how to place the dishes, desserts, drinks etc.

Usually some customers told us that they could not drink the regular, and insisted to have decaf, while some said no problems at all, especially when we made a mistake and honestly told them we had the wrong coffee for them.

However, I remember some seniors told me that whenever you were in the restaurant, one could not control whether it was really decaf or regular, as he/she could not see the difference, or even though the taste!!

Song - 用心良苦

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-rpyCRN8k&feature=related


妳的臉有幾分憔悴 妳的眼有殘留的淚 妳的唇美麗中有疲憊
我用去整夜的時間 想分辨在妳我之間 到底誰會愛誰多—點

我寧願看著妳 睡的如此沉靜 勝過妳醒時決裂般無情

妳說妳 想要逃 偏偏注定要落腳
情滅了 愛熄了 剩下空心要不要
春已走 花又落 用心良苦卻成空
我的痛 怎麼形容 一生愛 錯放妳的手

Young Wife To Heaven ( Part II)

Today, on my way home after work, met Mrs K whom I havn't seen her for a while.  She told me that her family made a trip to Japan and they enjoyed it very much.  In addition, she told me that her son accidentally met a girl and became lovers.

It is so good to share this news as I remember that by the time the wife passed away, the old couples and the son were really down, in such a short time, a healthy person got sick, suffered and had lots of operations, then disappeared in the world..............

Yes, life eventually will get better, no matter what, we should have this belief - the world is beautiful!!

中不成, 西不就

讀了陳雲先生的"執正中文",
除驚覺到自已對中文的不重視外,
很多時講及寫的都是英式中文,
更有使用程式中文的習慣,
雖然意識到舉步維艱,
今後寫作真的要的多下功夫.

中文是我的母語,
中小學上的是中文學校,
惟中學畢業後中文就好像與我無緣.

從工作的機構至再次重回校園,
全部的語言環境都是英文,
我的第二語言.

回歸使用中文,
都是近年的事,
真有"書到用時方恨少"!!

黃偉年, 許願 作曲 / 林夕 作詞 / 符元偉 編曲

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYTdLcX7DLg

最美一幕 還未閉幕
最闊的路在塵世遠方
最好知己永在身旁
聽我講 我從不說謊

我想相聚 誰便再聚
我想歡樂便隨意去追
我想相信我做得對
想到人極疲累

我自信有日如願
縱使天高地厚
仍被我逆轉
假使一生會沒了沒完
總有日會如願

當結局未揭穿

Song - Because of YOU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCuGqIhUaJE&feature=related

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you

Song - A moment like this

Kelly Clarkson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSoMw3R-E8

What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
Its almost that feeling that we've met before so tell me that you dont think Im crazy when I tell your love is here and now.

A Moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

Everything changes, but beauty remains.
Something so tender I cant explain.
Well I may be dreaming but til I awake..Can we make the dream last forever?
And I'll cherish all the love we share for a moment like this.

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

The speed of waiting love of all.
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall.
So let me tell you this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this...

Some people search a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

Is That Plastic Container Safe?

By Diane Blahut, Woman's Day
Thu, Sep 02, 2010

Here are six simple tips for reducing your exposure to the potentially harmful chemicals in plastics.

1. Know the code.
Look on the bottom of your plastic to find the recycling symbol (a number between 1 and 7 enclosed in a triangle of arrows). The code indicates the type of plastic you are using and can give you important clues about safety. "We generally say 1, 2, 4 and 5 are considered to be the safest," says Sonya Lunder, senior analyst at the Environmental Working Group. Try to avoid using plastics with 3 or 6, as these leach chemicals that may be harmful. Number 7 is an "other" category that includes BPA-containing plastics called polycarbonates. These plastics, which you should avoid, will have the letters PC printed underneath the 7.

2. Reconsider the microwave. Heat can increase the rate at which chemicals like BPA leach from plastic. Containers labeled "microwave safe" have been tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and found to leach extremely small amounts, which the FDA has determined to be safe. However, some experts advise people to keep plastic out of the microwave altogether. "I don't microwave anything in plastic," says Lunder. "It's really easy and fast to put my food into a ceramic or glass container and heat it that way." And never put plastic wrap on top of your food in the microwave, since it can melt. Use wax paper or a paper towel instead.

3. Use it for its intended purpose. Plastics that are designed for single use should only be used once. "Plastic breaks down over time," Lunder explains. "Some aren't designed to withstand heating and cooling." Most plastics with recycling code number 1 are intended for single use, such as disposable water bottles. And that takeout container from six months ago? Toss it. In general they're fine for refrigerating leftovers, but aren't designed for heat exposure or long-term use.

4. Wash by hand. Only put plastics into the dishwasher if they have a dishwasher safe label. If you want to be extra-cautious, wash all plastics by hand or use only glass and ceramic plates and dishes. In the dishwasher, plastics are exposed to detergents and heat, which may accelerate the leaching of BPA from food containers.

5. Do not freeze. Only put plastics in the freezer if they have a freezer-safe label. Freezer temperatures can cause plastics to deteriorate, which increases the leaching of chemicals into the food when you take containers out of the freezer to thaw or reheat.

6. Don't panic. Cutting down on exposure to potentially harmful chemicals in plastics can benefit your health. But as Dr. Halden reminds us, "Many things in your life pose a much higher risk than exposure to plastics, such as smoking, poor diet and even driving a car."

Shopping

I did window shopping today, actually, I was interested to buy something.

It was on sale and buy one get one free.

Found one and its quality was quite good, and the size/color was OK, but the saleslady said that was the last one, for the second (free) one, I could only get a larger size.

At that moment, I was thinking whether I should buy or not.

At last, I decided not to buy, as the size was not the fittest one, even though the price was attractive.

Because of this experience today, I concluded that I did the right thing.

In past, I would tell myself, it didn't matter, but usually when I got the item home, I never used or wear it. This is the problem.

No matter how the expensive/cheap of the item, I need to make sure the cost per wear is reasonable, it is no use to buy things and put aside - I keep on telling myself this rule!!

《執正中文--對治壞鬼公文,學好中文章法》

轉錄內容介紹

甚麼時候「驕傲」變成褒義詞?傳媒竟以「苦主」形容雷曼事件當事人?簡筆字的「發」字「髮」字可以變成同一個字?本來好端端的四個字「禁餵野猴」,現在要用八個字「禁止餵飼野生猴子」;政府官員、文書都將「問責」、「增值」、「持份」、「超標」掛在口邊,幾多句官話其實唔係人話!

從英式中文至回歸後洋化赤化俗化語文大混雜,《中文解毒》為香港文癌語病解解毒。「言之無文,行之不遠」,身為國際大都會的管治者、傳播人和教育者,負好責任,「認真識返幾句人話,寫返好?中文先啦!」

《中文解毒──從混帳文字到通順中文》

轉錄內容介紹:

學好中文,保住香港。

政府、商界齊齊用「程式中文」炮製「病壞」公文。「程式中文」即以新造的合成詞彙及洋化句式來堆砌句子。研究、參詳、權衡輕重、斟酌情況……今日只是「積極考慮」;震怒、激憤、痛心疾首……用不得,就隨官腔說「極度遺憾」、「深切遺憾」和「強烈譴責」。

中英夾雜的程式語言如「極富娛樂性,又有教育性」,卻忘記上世紀的說法「寓教育於娛樂」;有「請你被告知」卻不懂「敬告閣下」。程式中文令語言貧乏、思想單一,社會表達難免都變成廢話。

《執正中文》分析各式公文寫作法,詳述公文三通則:簡明、完整、情味,對治冗長累贅、機械程式中文,遭受港式學校教育及官僚洋化中文,再探如何鍛煉文心、文理、文氣,將之還原為天真自然、合乎章法。概說中文章法之原理,充當津樑

說比較有特色.

送上來時,

告訴她沒有叫

她的態度還不是很好,

實實的一片魚一百元人民幣真是非常不值.

自己也曾在餐飲業當服務員,

她真是非常不合格.

賞夕陽美景 坪洲環島一日遊

(綜合報道)

(星島日報 報道)提起假日到離島逛逛,三大熱門離不開大嶼山、長洲及南丫島,始終面積大,景點多,相對小島一個、花半天已遊盡各處的坪洲,常常被人忽略。確實,坪洲沒有三大離島的名山勝水,島上高峰手指山僅九十五米,半小時即可攻頂,但站在這裏卻可三百六十度飽覽藍天碧海,放眼港島南岸,遠眺青馬大穚,適逢日落,餘暉映照更是迷人。有興趣造訪這小島,可於9月19日(日)隨友行旅行隊出發。

  當日早上於中環港外線碼頭乘船直往坪洲,登岸即起步環島遊,大休後轉船往大嶼山參觀完神樂院後於梅窩散隊。

Peace Corps

When I was in College, once in a while, I heard some of my friends told me that they planned to do one year volunteering work with Peace Corp, after the graduation, before going to graduation school.

That was the time I learned something about learning by giving - I admired their action very much.

S went to South America for 1.5 years, and he told me the experience he got from the project was very glad.

I could not afford that, because at that time, I didn't have money nor the support from family, and besides, the Peace Corp only recruits Americans.

However, with the influence of my friends, I am really looking forward to or I should plan for a long vacation for that..............


Learn About Volunteering

Since 1961, the Peace Corps has shared with the world America's most precious resource – its people. Peace Corps Volunteers serve in 77 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. Collaborating with local community members, Volunteers work in areas like education, youth outreach and community development, the environment, and information technology.

Volunteers for Peace

http://www.vfp.org/volunteer_asia.html

"Founded in 1982, VFP is a non-profit membership organization. We do not have any political or religious agenda. We are partner to a large network of similar organizations worldwide. Our goal is to work toward a more peaceful world through the promotion of International Voluntary Service (IVS) projects, historically known as International Workcamps, and the exchange of volunteers. Through our international alliances, we work together to help communities meet local needs and some of the goals of the United Nation's Millennium Declaration. "

Song - 狂潮

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmPA7M7WduY


是他也是你和我 同相親相愛也相爭
大家偶遇在人海 你我各留痕

幾許歡與笑 多少愛和恨
那狂潮捲起 燦爛又繽紛

是苦也是甜美 人生的喜惡怎麼分
大家各自尋找 你我心中印

幾許哭與嘆 多少假與真
讓狂潮起跌 混合愛和恨

是他也是你和我 同悲歡喜惡過一生

Next Monday is another day

Friday should be a good day of the week, however, facing the work that I cannot finish, I really feel a little bit frustrated.

Time is always a scarce resource for me, I have already tried my best to do my job.

Till end of day, though I still have tons of work on my desk - I can only say good-bye to them!!

Para mim, Bom fim de semana!!

Song - 天各一方

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWaxmP1LMK4&feature=related


天各一方 - 曾路得/俞錚
曲︰HERB ALPERT
詞︰俞錚/丁小菲
編︰卡龍/鮑比達

獨白︰
今日你同我天各一方 你有你o既生活
我繼續我o既忙碌 但假如有一日
我地真係o系路上面偶然咁撞倒
我地會點o下頭 問候一o下
然後已經唔知講咩好
因為你會發現我已經改變
正如我可能唔再認識你
但係咁其實又有咩關係呢
我只係知道 o系呢一剎那
我係想念你

*誰令我能情深一片 令我輕柔如水清澈
令我心靈回復恬靜 令我拋棄內心牽掛
重拾往年純潔美夢 讓我心靈重得安慰
讓我安躺月下

獨白︰
其實 乜o野先至係真實而恆久o既呢
或者我應該就咁保存住呢一份渴望希冀
俾我相信世上有一幸福 垂手可得
又永遠係掌握之外
有時 激情捉o系手裡面會化為灰燼
反而藏o系心底 可以歷久常新
貪求思慕只因癡 一切眼淚
思憶都係徒然

重唱 *

讓我安躺月下

Song - 小時候

*小小的宇宙 歡欣的宇宙

#抱負理想 在我心中成就看以后
世界都在我手中 不管天高地厚
關心跟愛護 都一一接受
真的愛 真的美 全在心內透#

合掌瓜芡實薏米豬踭湯

有醫食﹕豬踭湯防秋燥

(明報)2010年9月7日 星期二 05:10

【明報專訊】明天是二十四節氣中的白露,是個典型的秋天節氣,也是全年晝夜溫差最大的一個,一般有10至15度。如果防護不足,容易著涼,市民外出還應注意添加衣物。

在白露節氣中,也要預防秋燥。燥邪傷人,容易耗人津液,出現口乾、唇乾、鼻乾、咽乾、大便乾結、皮膚乾裂等症狀。預防秋燥的方法很多,現介紹以下時令湯水﹕

■合掌瓜芡實薏米豬踭湯(3至4人分量)

材料﹕合掌瓜600克,芡實及薏米各45克,豬踭肉500克,生薑3片

製法﹕合掌瓜去皮、洗淨,切為厚塊;芡實及薏米洗淨,稍浸泡;豬踭肉洗淨,整塊不用刀切。以上材料與生薑一起放進瓦煲內,加入清水3000毫升 (約12碗)以武火煲沸後,改為文火煲約2.5小時,加入適量的生油和食鹽便可。合掌瓜、芡實、薏米及豬踭肉可撈起,拌入醬油供佐餐用

功效﹕合掌瓜又名佛手瓜,性溫,味辛苦酸。中醫認為它清熱解毒,理氣和中,疏肝止嘔,適宜於消化不良、胸悶氣脹、嘔吐、肝胃氣痛、傳染性肝炎類及氣管類咳嗽多痰者食用。

芡實性平,味甘、澀,入脾及腎經,功能健脾、固腎、澀精。

薏米性涼,味甘、淡,入脾、肺及腎經,功能健脾補肺,清熱利溫。

豬踭肉為豬肉的上品,能補益滋陰,合而為湯,共奏清熱、健脾、祛濕、消暑的功效。

邊旅遊邊做義工

(明報)2010年9月9日 星期四 05:10

5分鐘小腹復活操

http://hk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/beauty/health/article.html?id=art_4c888680


準備好快速收腹沒?首先去拿一條綁頭髮的橡筋,然後找個舒服的地方面朝天躺平,用橡筋把左右兩邊的腳趾公綁在一起,在腰下墊一個咕o臣或坐墊,最後雙手往頭頂方向伸直放平,令整個人呈一字型,就是如此而已,這樣輕輕鬆鬆躺個5分鐘後,再去量度小腹圍,一般減個3至6cm也沒有難度。每天持續做的話,小腹可望一天一天地消失。

12種食物狂吸走你多餘脂肪

(朋友送來的,轉載方享)

有些飲食明明很正常的人,可為什麼身上的油脂就是過剩呢?問題就出在食物上,有些食物你吃得再少也只會助長你身上的贅肉,而有這樣一些食物,你食得再多,也只是刮去你身上的油水!

1、燕麥:

具備降膽固醇和降血脂的作用。由於燕麥中含有豐富的食物纖維,這種可溶性的燕麥纖維,在其他穀物中找不到。因這種纖維容易被人體吸收,且因熱含量低,既有利於減肥,又適合心臟病、高血壓和糖尿病人對食療的需要。

2、玉米:

含豐富的鈣、磷、鎂、鐵、硒及維生素A、B1、B2、B6、E和胡蘿蔔素等,還富含纖維質。常食玉米油,可降低膽固醇並軟化血管 。玉米對膽囊炎、膽結石、黃疸型肝炎和糖尿病等,有輔助治療作用。

3、蔥蒜:

洋蔥含有環蒜氨酸和硫氨酸等化合物,有助於血栓的溶解。洋蔥幾乎不含脂肪,能抑制高脂肪飲食引起的膽固醇升高,有助於改善動脈粥樣硬化。蔥中提取出的蔥素,能治療心血管硬化。大蒜能降低血清總膽固醇、三油酸甘油酯的含量。大蒜素的二次代謝產物 ——甲基丙烯三硫,具有阻止凝栓質A2的合成作用,故能預防血栓。大蒜還能治療肥胖。

4、山藥:

Asking Direction - Hotel Metro

Interesting, during lunch time, in front of ICAM - Largo do Senado, I saw a lady asked for the direction of Hotel Metro ( seem that she didn't speak Chinese, as she just showed the hotel name from her book).

She has plenty of luggages with her, and behind her, I could see more than 15 people lined up waiting for her instruction/guidance.

She should be the group leader of the tour, but I didn't understand why the whole group with their luggages appeared in the wrong location, though they could walk about 200 meters, but to a crowded area, they seemed very strange - LOST in the city????

Taxi in Macau

Yesterday, went to see doctor after work.

There were no people in the bus-stop, my first common sense was a bus has just passed.

At the same time, a taxi stopped by the bus-stop and the passenger came out, I immediately took the taxi to my destination - it was so goo, no traffic jam, and within 5 minutes, I arrived - for 13 patacas.

I was quite happy about that - what a lucky day!!

For the bus fare, it costs 2 patacas, though I paid 6 times of the fare, the benefit I got is more than the cost I paid. I could even walk within 15 minutes and save the 2 patacas, but the time I saved and the comfort I got by taking a taxi is a really a benefit.

I think the taxi fare in Macau is not too expensive, imagine when I was in a big city, taking a taxi could cost a lot of money.

However, the problem is that one cannot easily get a taxi easily, especially in rainy day, for the elderly people.

Lee

This morning, on my way to work, saw a group of tourists near Largo do Senado, I was thinking they were early, then at the same time, the tour guide explained the history of the buildings - the voice is quite familiar - I looked back and saw a man.

Oh, my high school buddy - he is so professional, he works so hard!!!

He is very skinny, wearing a hat and I really can't recognised him, plus he got dark skin now - he needs to work outdoor.

Queuing to see doctors in Beijing

Unbelievable, the TV news mentioned that in Beijing, people need to line up to consult the doctors in the hospitals, there could be more than 100 people waiting for the registration in the early morning.

First of all, I think it is interesting as in China, many people don't like to line up to wait for the service. This can be a lesson of civilisation.

Secondly, the line in the hospital can be a special phenomenon in the community, a lot of patients?? not enough medical doctors?? or explosion of illness....?

The news disclosed that some people usually occupy the first few places and sell their waiting position for money - Surprisingly, it is a business for somebody - this is in China!!

Love suffers long and is kind

I am not a Christian, but I like the following text in the Bible very much.


哥林多前書13章4-8節
「愛是恆久忍耐,
又有恩慈;
愛是不嫉妒;
愛是不自誇,
不張狂,
不做害羞的事,
不求自己的益處,
不輕易發怒,
不計算人的惡,
不喜歡不義,
只喜歡真理;
凡事包容,
凡事相信,
凡事盼望,
凡事忍耐。
愛是永不止息。」


Corinthians, Chapter 13, 4-8
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Bears all things, believe that things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

火車頭越南餐室 Locomotive Contemproary Vietnamese Cuisine

Passed by the area of Rua Francisco Xavier, and discovered this new shop, I don't know whether it is the same shop from HK, still, I miss the beef noodles and all the delicious dishes, would like to eat over there and see.

Hot Kebah in Macau

It is a pity, the shop in the Rua Alfandega has closed.

This is the second shop I know in the Central area, the first one was in Rua Nolasco da Silva, which has closed long time ago.

I would like to see varieties of food in the town, so that we can enjoy the different cuisines.

Personally, I like Hot Kebah more than McDonald, though I didn't eat them very often.

Eating in these two different places is quite different - environment, comfortable, fast, taste, cleanliness, services, prices, brand ( image?) advertising.........

However, I can say, it is also a way of appreciation of eating culture!!!

Dog Shits

Sunday morning, when I was out for lunch, I saw there were plenty dog shits on the street.

I was thinking whether I were in Paris and I told my father to be careful. At the same time, an uncle in the neighbourhood told me that he usually see some owners of the dogs go out with the dogs with pieces of newspapers, however, when nobody is there, they just let the dog to shit everywhere.

What a shame, they only act as good citizens when the street is full of people, as a proof that they do good job. HOWEVER, when no eyes on them, they do nasty things.

孫子兵法 SUN TZU ON THE ART OF WAR

Reading a book about Sun Tzu's art of war, I think the book is so great.

It is a shame that I didn't master well the old Chinese text, and I need to read the English text to help. However, I also enjoy the simple Chinese text with deepful thoughts in it, So wonderful!!!!

有醫食﹕海蜇馬蹄抗秋燥

(明報)2010年8月31日 星期二 05:10

【明報專訊】處暑(今年西曆8月23日)是二十四節氣中的第十四個節氣。古籍《月令七十二候集解》中說﹕「七月中,處,止也,暑氣至此而止矣。」「處」含有躲藏、終止的意思,「處暑」表示炎熱的暑天結束。

處暑節氣正是處在由熱轉涼的交替時期,此時早晚溫度低,由於雨量減少,空氣中濕度降低,加上香港人經常開冷氣,皮膚容易乾澀粗糙,鼻腔乾燥疼痛,又或口燥咽乾,大便乾結,故養生要遵從秋冬養陰養肺的大原則,宜吃清燥滋陰的食物,如銀耳、百合、梨、蓮藕、蜂蜜、海帶、芝麻、白蘿蔔、胡蘿蔔、蘋果、葡萄、荸薺(馬蹄)、甘蔗、羅漢果、大棗和湯、粥等,這不但有利維他命的補充,還能夠增加水分的攝入。還要少吃辛熱食物,少喝酒,以免加重秋燥的症狀。以下介紹一款食療﹕

雪羹湯(1至2人分量)

材料﹕海蜇50克,馬蹄4枚,食鹽適量

製法﹕海蜇用溫水洗淨,切塊備用;馬蹄去皮洗淨,切塊備用。海蜇及馬蹄放進瓦煲中,加清水武火煮沸後,再改用小火煮15分鐘,適當加調味料即可

功效﹕海蜇清熱化痰,潤腸通便;馬蹄為輔佐,清熱化痰以助海蜇之力。本湯不傷正氣,兼可滋潤,故對痰熱咳嗽和高血壓尤宜。虛寒者不宜食用

註﹕以上食療僅供參考,如有疑問,應先諮詢註冊中醫師

干擾荷爾蒙 激素飲食陷阱

(星島)2010年9月6日 星期一 06:30
(綜合報道)

高風險食物

  1. 蜂王漿

  為工蜂哺育幼蜂的分泌物,含有人類生殖激素,如雌二醇、睾酮和孕酮等。

  點評示警:主要為緩和婦女更年期徵狀,不建議年輕人或小童進食,以免吸收過量激素。

  2. 雪蛤膏

  乃雌性桂林蛙的輸卵管組織和脂肪,內含多種不同激素和生長因子。

  點評示警:進食過多動物性生長因子,會干擾人體細胞的生長運作,尤其癌症、內分泌疾病患者忌食。

  3. 禽畜淋巴部位

  養殖禽畜時可能會為其注射抗生素或其他藥物以加速生長,這類藥物會殘留在家禽體內。

  點評示警:由於激素會積聚在淋巴位置,故應避免進食禽畜的頸部、臀部和腋下等位置。

  4. 黃鱔

  部分不法商人,會在養殖過程中,加入含類雌激素的避孕藥,縮短某些食用魚類例如黃鱔的成長期。

  點評示警:避孕藥雖可令黃鱔更肥美,但藥物的類雌激素,會積存在黃鱔的脂肪中。

  5. 牛初乳

86歲金庸考獲劍橋博士

(明報)2010年9月6日 星期一 05:10

導師亦是金庸迷

94歲超伯寫網誌解悶 教仔女 訴心聲 話當年

(明報)2010年9月6日 星期一 05:10

【明報專訊】誰是香港最老blogger?答案可能是他:94歲的黃偉超。超伯雖是獨居老人,卻甚少呻悶,他和很多豆丁一樣打開電腦就是一天。兩年前他開始寫網誌,博客成為他教仔女、訴心聲、話當年、練腦筋的百寶袋。

專營「平安鐘 」業務的長者安居服務協會,2001年成立子公司「老有網」,用「長者教長者」方式鼓勵45歲以上人士學習互聯網,至今累積逾2萬名學員,每課堂收取20元,自負盈虧。超伯是「老有網」推動終身學習的成功例子。

超伯的妻子1988年離世,雖然兒孫滿堂但仔女都移民外國,「我不跟他們,在外國無朋友。」他決定一人生活,「我老婆走了,我即刻去老人中心做義工教攝影。」超伯每日例必落街晨運買餸煮飯,沒工人靠自己雙手。

近52萬人次瀏覽

2002年他開始學電腦,兩年前起執筆同時撰寫3個網誌:一個訴心聲、一個講中藥養生、一個講典故。訴心聲網頁最受歡迎,累積瀏覽人次近52萬。那晚他在電視看到菲律賓人質慘劇,悲痛之情欲抒發卻面對四面牆,唯有開電腦寫道:「當一件事情發生後,人們無法解釋時,佛家必說宿命論。」

「興之所至,想寫什麼就寫。」超伯的文字淡然,底線是從不論政,淡如開水也見他真情流露。想起在天國的老伴:「月珍(其妻)家境清貧,自小勤奮好學,年年獲獎學金。」悼賢內助他又悼紅顏知己:「李重貴(老同學)屋企開米舖,二戰香港淪陷她給我送米糧軍票。」重貴離世超伯寫道:「知心人走了,心裏真有點茫然若失……」超伯之真情文章更被雅虎網站揀選出書。

兒孫越洋讀超伯文字

超伯遠在地球另一邊的兒孫,每天讀文字就知他心事,「我個孫話:『如果3日唔見阿爺寫文,就要即刻打電話。』」超伯從不投訴兒孫,皆因他有廣闊胸襟,明白下一代都走著他們的路。網絡上一兩句留言,已教他甜在心頭。

同換心肝女病人:走路呼吸得來不易

(明報)2010年9月6日 星期一 05:10

【明報專訊】全港首名同時接受心、肝移植的27歲女病人Jackie,經過17日休養,心臟和肝臟已能正常運作,預料一至兩周後可出院。能同時獲他人捐出心肝得以重生,對Jackie來說是難以置信的經歷,曾徘徊生死之間,她領悟到呼吸、走路,原來也是得來不易。從事演藝幕後工作的Jackie,計劃將自身故事搬上舞台,以生命影響生命。

Jackie故事鼓勵器官捐贈

負責手術的瑪麗醫院亦指出,Jackie移植器官的故事,令過去2周多了家屬願意捐出逝世親人器官,已有2個屍肝為他人延續生命,但仍有4名病人需靠親人捐出活肝救命,其中3人屬急性肝衰竭。

家人突離世始知患罕見遺傳病

「多謝捐心和肝給我的年輕人。」Jackie昨在醫護攙扶下,踏上瑪麗醫院的小講台,向素未謀面的救命恩人衷心致謝。Jackie從事舞台劇後台工作,從未想過自己會當上主角,直至2年前,先後有2名家人突然心臟衰竭離世,後證實是罕見的「家族性澱粉樣多發性神經病變(FAP)」(見另稿),幾經檢測,發現Jackie亦是罕見遺傳病主角之一,若不換肝,命不久矣。Jackie於2009年開始等候換肝,但香港平均一年只有40人死後捐肝,一年過去,她仍然在等,瑪麗醫院外科部肝膽胰/肝臟移植組顧問醫生陳詩正說,Jackie的心臟已「頂唔順」,必須同步換心、肝才能續命。香港從未做過同步移植心肝手術,造就這次奇蹟的,是8月19日一名突然中風 腦幹死亡後捐出所有器官的19歲青年,移植手術翌日進行。

「當晚接到醫院電話,其實好驚,做唔做(移植)好呢?」Jackie回想手術前一晚忐忑心情,「但想深一層,這樣難得的機會,如果放棄,不知等到何時……手術前,覺得沒甚可能,又換心又換肝,很難以置信,但在我身上成功了!」

病肝為肝癌 翁延20年命

20小時手術過後,Jackie恍如重生,人生觀也變得簡單了﹕「簡單的動作如行路、吃飯、去洗手間,原來得來不易,不要每天埋怨生活,可呼吸、可做日常生活的動作,已經是很大得著。」令她意外的,是她的肝臟原來令患有肝癌及晚期肝硬化的62歲梁先生,延長20年壽命。

Jackie數日前開始再學行、再吃飯,從前因遺傳病飯前必須進食的消化藥,現在已不用再吃了,取而代之是終身也需服用抗排斥藥。陳詩正對Jackie的心、肝康復進展滿意,預料1至2周後可出院。

盼將重生故事搬上舞台

接收了Jackie肝臟的梁先生亦康復理想,料一周後可出院,昨日他與Jackie首次見面,聲如洪鐘地感謝換肝手術給予他「第二生命」。Jackie計劃未來一年要休息鍛煉好身子體然後繼續在舞台發亮,現正構思將其故事搬上舞台。她亦呼籲市民支持器官捐贈,遺愛人間,延續別人生命。

陳雲《執正中文》學好中文

http://www.hkreporter.com/talks/thread-846952-1-1.html

真的要學好中文!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

節錄:

大陸說「撲殺」家禽,用得對了,香港堅持用「銷毀」,將家禽非生命物化,當作光碟,這叫青出於藍。陳雲會說德文,「銷毀」原是納粹黨語言,德文fernichten,中間nicht解作沒有,石灰粉混入鴉片,令它無效。「這用法不尊重生命,不須顧慮人情。雞農自己殺雞,叫做自行『處理』。」

還有「人力資源」(人力、勞動力),「增值」(進修),我們統統變成人肉八達通;「釋出」善意(示好),原來善意等於毒氣。

「香港電視台說到加沙地帶,說『發射』催淚彈,一講香港,便說『施放』催淚彈,明顯受政府麻醉。」

「截取」通訊,以前叫偷聽,「根本就是偷聽,未證明他有罪,你都是偷他的東西,除非他正在坐監,傳紙仔,你就截取通訊。」

近年港人愛說終極,「終極即是完結。」記者訪問過潘源良,他在唱片內頁寫上「終極鳴謝:李麗珍」,感人至深。「即是最後一次鳴謝,以後不謝,」陳雲說:「也用得對。」

Meeting

Late afternoon, went to a meeting, which I think it was not a productive one.

The meeting was about organising visiting activity to a children home, by a group of young volunteers. It is supported by a well-established charity organisation.

Last time, we had 2 hours for the meeting, and I commented that we should focus on the discussion items rather than talking this and that.

This time, it is improving, but the organiser (the lead persons didn't get enough information, thus, there are uncertainties for discussion).

Thanks today is Saturday, meeting started from 6-7:30, and there are still outstanding discussion item, thus another meeting will be held on the other Wednesday 7 PM before the visit.

For me, it is really simple and little activity, but a lot of time is wasted.

They have previous experiences, why not take the review of similar activities, and improve that, it can save a lot of time.

It is really out of my expectation, I could not afford to pay the time for their meetings.

I miss the outing of "People Who Care".

The management and organisation were very good, all the participates needed not to pay so much time on the unnecessary meeting. the office arranged this for us - one thing is important, people who need care, we also want to care them, so just be prepared and go directly for the visits, talk with the people, share with them, and care of them.

The people in the children centers and the elderly homes will be happy!!
