Intended

by Erin E M Hatton

When the lamplight of the Sun

First touched the dark

And rolling, sighing, seeking wave

First kissed the land

When the first drop of rain

Met the very first leaf

That moment God chose you

And intended you for me

 

When that tiny living globe

Formed in the dark

And with the rhythm of time and space

First beat your heart

When God knit your limbs

And gave breath to your lungs

Your days he ordained

And intended you for me

 

All praise to our God

Who created all things

Who gave us life and gave us life again

Who came here this day

To create us anew

To take two hearts and meld them into one

 

From the moment that my eyes

First saw your face

And when you with an angel's voice

First spoke my name

When you first took my hand

Heaven's voice seemed to say

That before earth's foundation

He intended you for me

 

Beautiful Dreamer

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, 
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd a way!

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, --
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea 
Mermaids are chaunting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart, 
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart, --
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

- by Stephen Foster

To My Dear and Loving Husband

by Anne Bradstreet 

If ever two were one, then surely we. 
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee; 
If ever wife was happy in a man, 
Compare with me ye women if you can. 
I prize thy love more then whole Mines of gold, 
Or all the riches that the East doth hold. 
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench, 
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence. 
Thy love is such I can no way repay, 
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray. 
Then while we live, in love let's so persever, 
That when we live no more, we may live ever. 

La Vita Nuova

In that book which is
My memory . . .
On the first page
That is the chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words . . .
Here begins a new life

- Dante Alighieri

‘Love Is’ by Adrian Henri

Love is…
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans
Love is a fanclub with only two fans
Love is walking holding paintstained hands

Love is.
Love is fish and chips on winter nights
Love is blankets full of strange delights
Love is when you don’t put out the light


Love is
Love is the presents in Christmas shops
Love is when you’re feeling Top of the Pops
Love is what happens when the music stops


Love is
Love is white panties lying all forlorn
Love is pink nightdresses still slightly warm
Love is when you have to leave at dawn


Love is
Love is you and love is me
Love is prison and love is free
Love’s what’s there when you are away from me
Love is…

‘A Drinking Song’ by W.B. Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;

That’s all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.

I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

《郡庭惜牡丹》唐詩

 作者：徐夤

腸斷東風落牡丹，為祥為瑞久留難。
青春不駐堪垂淚，紅艷已空猶倚欄。
積蘚下銷香蕊盡，晴陽高照露華幹。
明年萬葉千枝長，倍發芳菲借客看。

意外－意料之外

修讀一短期課程，
有很嚴格的上課時間要求。

今天終於到最後考試，
三小時的上課時間，
講師原定有一小時為最後的講課，
第二部分為考試，
時限兩小時。
誰知臨時他有事，
提前第一部分先行考試，
出乎意料之外，
很多人遲到，
有一位同學更遲到了一小時，
真是人算不如天算！

還我清白

一件不大不小的事，
可以看到不同人的處事態度，
對於我來說，
之前的責任完全不屬我，
卻被XXXXXX，
無論如何，
最重要的事，
是如何解決當前的問題，
退一步，
海闊天空！

緣慳一面

初中時一位較投緣的同學自離澳後定居香港多年,
早期時都有魚雁往來,
直至我出外讀書後,
已失去聯絡多時,
最後近年經e-mail, apps終於再聯絡上,
多次她來澳或我往港時,
都因時間未能配合,
無法遇上.

上星期她告訴我15及16日會停留澳門,
辦證件,
約了昔日的舊同學一聚,
惜因為星期日有特別任務要工作,
無緣見面,
原來多年未有見過她面及通電,
只是她posts 相片在面書,
而我,
於她,
現今仍是神秘人?
那天再重聚?

2013.9.15 - Election Day

What a busy day!
Worked from 7:30AM till 12:45AM,
with people I didn't know before,
all of us have an aim to contribute to make the event  a successful one.

I have only two lunch boxes for my lunch and dinner,
meeting a lot of people,
some of them are familiar faces,
my old classmates, teachers, old colleagues,
friends, neighbours.
Though I am very exhausted,
I believe it is really a good experience!

911

那年的911
遠方的你在地球一方,
發生意外的 New York,
深刻的記憶,
是你早上上班的必經之路,
我坐在電視機前,
看著震撼的場面,
心想生命是如此脆弱,
人是如此渺小,
一剎那要發生的,
可以是在你身邊,
也可以是你的背後,
在你回至辦公室時,
你告訴我不久前剛經過事發場地,
你很清楚看見發生的意外,
.....
這是當年我們的記憶!

外勤

今天在辦公時間內要出外工作,
雖然外面很熱,
但感覺良好,
可以看看街上的各式情景,
又可以在工作範圍外接觸不同的人,
其實,
真的很懷疑,
自己是不是一個喜歡只與文件打交道的人,
如果,
可以,
給我再選擇,
我的職業會是什麼呢?
 

Berea Buddies in Asia

Received a message from K.M.
who told me that this year will be their last year in Hong Kong,
as next year they will move back to Japan.

What a surprise !
After getting their update that they are living in Hong Kong for few years,
of the busy schedule,
I didn't get the chance to visit them.

K.M. was from Malaysia,
I knew him as there were not many Asian students in our college,
and we from time to time met in food service.

L was from Japan,
was also our alumni,
but I had no memories that whether I met her on campus or not.

Two young people went to U.S. pursuing for higher education,
fell in love,
separated for a while,
seeking for higher degrees,
then, teaching career in Italy.

They got married eventually,
in a country out of their home countries.

As K.M. got his teaching position in HK later,
they live and work in there.

Excited to get the news after few years of school,
that both of them are in HK,
they came over to visit me few times,
and made me so excited..
called back my old memories in Berea.

If I could not visit them in HK,
I should give myself a good reason,
to visit them in Japan next year!

吳望堯 的詩

" 豎琴"  吳望堯

我的心是一隻小小的豎琴，
久久沒有人來彈奏，
如今撥出了優美的聲音，被你一雙纖纖的手，
你切莫把琴絃彈的太重，
因為絃絲已經腐舊，
也不要儘管輕輕的撫弄，
那將撩起我的哀愁。

"銅雀賦"  吳望堯

若你有銅雀           鎖不鎖得住春天
若你有春天           鎖不鎖的住二喬
若我有東風           便把東風一古腦而借你
借與你滿天的花雨 千樹的桃花
竹水流。可是江南不是千山的江南
任十里的春江向晚  凝目處堆煙砌霞
漢朝的樓台不見樓台    荒蕪的庭院深深
誰還知道千年的往事  又散入了誰家?
若你有春天   鎖不鎖的住東風
若你有桃花  染不染的紅半璧的天涯
百代下  若你再銅雀遇見了二喬
且問他  若三月的東風不來   你嫁是不嫁

10 things that define a true professional - Alan Norton

You may be a brilliant developer, a highly skilled net admin, or a crackerjack DBA -- but if you're unprofessional, your career is likely to fall short. Alan Norton offers some attributes to strive for. 

The term professional is thrown around quite a bit these days, perhaps too much. I do it myself. But what exactly does it mean to be a professional? As you read through the items below, consider how you compare with each trait.

1: Put customer satisfaction first

Understanding and satisfying your customer's needs are the cornerstones of a successful business. Do what is necessary to meet those needs. After all, without the customer, there is no professional.

You may not view those you work with as your customers, but in many cases, they are. I remember when one of my managers perceived that I was overly stressed. He pulled me aside and sat me down in his office where he told me stories and jokes for the better part of half an hour. He recognized my needs and acted accordingly.

Professionals identify and satisfy their customer's needs.

選舉文化

拜票,
洗樓,
派傳單,
聯歡會,
記招,
......
其實真的很想了解每組候選人的抱負,
早上電台播放每組候選人的宣傳聲帶錄音,
珍貴的黃金時段,
limited golden airtime,
有一組真的是令人印象深刻,
主旨只有數句,
以口號式呼叫,
重複多過5 次以上,
當初還以為電台機器故障-食帶,
播完又播,
轟炸式的宣傳手法,
他的組別號碼未能使我忘記!

積極與消極

下雨黃昏,
首次往看政府醫院的急診,
在建築物內要轉來轉去,
到目的地的診室,
相對候診室內的人不多,
不多於十人,
但有多人都是說普通話,
還以為身在內地,
只是牆上的通知仍有葡文及中文,
電視正播放著6點半新聞.

等的時間永遠是漫長的,
看的時間好像很快,
醫生及護士共五人對一人.

主治醫生是耐心及盡責的,
但他解釋的積極與消極論,
真的是很玄,
有待消化!

Why complicate life?

Missing somebody - Call
Wanna meet up? - Invite
Wanna be understood? - Explain
Has questions? - Ask
Don't like something? Say it
Like something? State it
Want something? Ask for it
Love someone? Tell them

Nobody will know what's going on in your mind...
it's better to express rather than to expect...

You already have the NO,
take the risk of getting the YES.

噪音

立法會選舉進入了候選人的宣傳期，
即時市面上多了一些做廣播宣傳的車輛，
不時穿街過巷，
播放宣傳資訊，
今天在辦公室內久不久即間歇性地被各組的廣播騷擾，
 如此選舉的特色文化，
還有兩星期！
期待快些完結。

周日購物樂

昨天早上午茶後
去了金沙城那兒SHOPPING,
再在銀河的Pacific Coffee下午茶。

看看戰利品，
發覺現在買衣服的選擇上，
主要是質量，
永恆的款式，
不好聽的是古板，
好聽的是情有獨鍾。

無論如何，
結論是，
紙醉金迷，
世界上女人的錢是最易賺的，
看著強國人的超強購買力，
最開心的是。。。
男人？
女人？

我估都是女人！

因為男人的錢是給女人花的！

 

手信,小禮物,心意

黃姑娘歐遊回來,
星期日早上一起飲茶
K和我各獲一小罐亞冬魚,
物輕情意重,


手信禮物,
是一份心意,
送者帶著歡愉心情,
分享遠方的佳品,
謝謝!

麵包伽利略 一個藍莓包 港仔踢爆台企香精案

轉載:

專訪 A02 am730 葉兆臻 2013-09-02 台灣藝人小S(徐熙娣)丈夫許雅鈞有份投資的連鎖麵包店「胖達人」，最近被揭發一直以香精混入麵包，假扮「天然無添加」，成為台灣近期最嚴重的食物安全事件。小S要當眾認錯，18間分店所有員工在店前列隊道歉仍無法平息，胖達人全線停業3日，引發的索償至今仍持續。踢爆台企「講大話」的，原來是一名香港青年演奏家。一切只源於他覺得胖達人的藍莓包太好味，想在家中「東施效顰」之故，無意地發現了醜陋真相。他接受本報專訪，細訴由最初多番驗證麵包材料、到發表網誌、數十萬人關注、傳媒越洋追訪、至懷疑有人留言恐嚇等點點經歷。事已至此，他執著的，除了揭發真相，還是尋找舌尖上的麵包香味。

《呼蘭河傳》- 蕭紅

http://www.haodoo.net/?M=u&P=A434:0

《呼蘭河傳》名列 世紀百強 第 9。蕭紅，原名張迺瑩，1911年出生於黑龍江呼蘭河，1942年病逝於香港，是30年代中國文壇最負盛名最有才氣的女作家。文筆沉鬱優雅，擅長勾勒動亂流離的生活面貌，作品深受魯迅、茅盾……等名作家激賞。她的作品清婉、細膩而雋永，著有《生死場》《小城三月》《馬伯樂》……等書，本書《呼蘭河傳》是她病逝香港之前的最後著作，也是流傳最廣的經典之作。

《呼蘭河傳》創作於一九四二年，正是抗日戰爭最艱苦的階段，這使遠在香港的蕭紅更加懷念自己的故鄉和童年，於是，她以自己的家鄉與童年生活為原型，創作了這部小說。它在藝術形式上是一部比較獨特的：它雖然寫了人物，但沒有主角；雖也敘述故事，卻沒有主軸；全書七章雖可各自獨立卻又儼然是一整體。作家以她嫻熟的回憶技巧、抒情詩的散文風格、渾重而又輕盈的文筆， 造就了她 「回憶式」的巔峰之作。茅盾曾這樣評價它的藝術成就：「它是一篇敘事詩，一片多彩的風土畫，一串淒婉的歌謠。」 
 

Song - Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach to you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

【激戰Unbeatable】

Jiangnan.

Oh! Combien Jiangnan était belle,

au Sudest du fleuve Yangzi,

á l'instar de ces scènes enchanteresses qui m'étaient si familières!
Comme les fleurs de toutes couleurs étaient ravissantes en bordure de rivière, 

sous le soleil levant!
Comme cette rivière était douce et mystérieuse,

 sous le ciel bleu à l'approche du printemps...?

Alors, 

comment puis-je résister aux souvenirs que m'évoque Jiangnan.

憶江南 - 白居易

其一

江南好，風景舊曾諳；日出江花紅勝火，春來江水綠如藍。 能不憶江南？

其二

江南憶，最憶是杭州；山寺月中尋桂子，郡亭枕上看潮頭。 何日更重遊！

其三

江南憶，其次憶吳宮；吳酒一杯春竹葉，吳娃雙舞醉芙蓉。 早晚得相逢。
