近况.计划.改变

朋友问我,为何这么久没有update blog了;也有的问我,近来所写的,都不是跟工作有关的,问我是不是工作都蛮愉快的?记得当我开始写这个blog时,可以说是我工作上的一个瓶颈。在我还未加入当下的公司,那也已是一年前的事了。当时很想离开旧公司,工作上很多烦恼的事,所以也在这blog里发了好一阵子的牢骚,发表过很多我当时对工作的看法。因为工作经验尚浅,加上肚里的笔墨有限,可以写的都写了,所以慢慢地转向了,哈哈!

其实,新年假期回来后,工作都很忙;当工作忙碌,各方的压力也就逼到了身边,老板的,客户的,加上自己给自己的。工作不如意,在哪一间公司做都不能避免的。有时也真的想放弃一切,让自己透透气。但是,世事很多都不由得我们说放弃就放弃。年纪越大,commitment 越多。现在的我,不再像以前刚踏入社会的小伙子般,鲁莽行事了,4年的工作,造就了控制自己情绪的能力吧!何况,不久将会作出一个重大计划,接着还有一连穿plan 好好的计划要实行(为了保持神秘感,不便在此公布)。其实,觉得自己有时做事想得太多、太遥远了,当要行动时,不是慢了,便是让机会白白给溜走了,后悔莫及!所以,要改要改。。。这一次的每一个计划,都得当机立断了!!既然有这么多的计划,休息?再多25,30年吧!!又或者找到一个富家千金,还可能可以少奋斗10年吧!哈哈哈!!!

新闻一则

(吉隆坡,11日讯) 一班为数十多人的男女,同聚在Mid Valley 的 Chilli's Grill & Bar喧闹。相机的闪光灯不停地闪烁。

不要误会,那并不是有什么大明星或示威。据说,这群人都分散西东,有的在新加坡,有的在澳洲,但大家都是原自霹雳州。

难得大夥儿忙里偷闲,拨出一点时间,为的就是这一次的<<13届霹雳州学海学生记者10周年庆典>>。有者真的有整10年没见面了,但当这些鱼儿们(他们都自称为鱼)聚在一起时,还是闹翻天了。

虽然,这次的聚会不是所有的鱼儿都能出席,也只是一个数小时的短暂一聚,但也已很不错了,感觉真的很好! 策划单位也要求出席者各自准备一份小礼物,来个礼物大交换!

当要离别时,大家都好似依依不舍,但没有办法,有的要赶回新加坡,大家也得回到自己的工作岗位。但望下一个聚会,不会是再10年的光阴吧!

Kenangan Terindah

Pertama kali saya blog dengan Bahasa Melayu di sini. Sudah lama betul saya tak guna bahasa. Jadi, decided to start satu dekat sini. Namun, susah bagi saya blog 100% in bahasa. hahaha.... so, rojak saje la.
Recently, dengar satu lagu di radio, a Malay song. Suka sangat, tapi tak tau title song tu. No choice, jadi saya memorise lyrics lagu tu, lepas tu pergi google. Spent beberapa jam googling, akhirnya dapat juga.
Benda yang sukar dapat, mesti share dengan rakan...
so.. enjoy ya!! Of coz, sebelum tu, kena off James Blunt punya You're Beautiful baru play lagu ni la. Pandai-pandai la.. kawan



Kenangan Terindah
By: Samson

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yang tlah hilang darimu
Yang mampu menyanjungku
Selama mata terbuka
Sampai jantung tak berdetak

Selama itu pun
Aku mampu tuk mengenangmu
Darimu...
Kutemukan hidupku
Bagiku...
Kau lah cinta sejati Ooh...

Bila yang tertulis untukku
Adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan kujadikan kau kenangan
Yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
Meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang tlah terukir abadi
Sebagai kenangan yang terindah
Ooh...

I think my malay sucks also...!!
If you find difficult to play from the embeded player above,
try this URL:Kenangan Terindah


Cool stunt!!
I like it very much.... Wanna try as well..
hahaha!!
Must be watching too much of Fast & Furious...

我的猪脚

昨晚

昨天,心血来潮,放工后,便和朋友去打篮球。一班来自中国的Uncle也参跟我们玩。我们三对四,打了两场,第一场输了。

第二场最后一分,如果再拿下一球,我们就胜了。
所以,很"英勇"地,拼老命跳跃到最高点,抓到球了,身体优美的半空转了半圈落地....

今天
"卜"...清脆入耳、痛入心扉,惨了...扭柴了...啊....!!!!痛死我啦!!
嗨....倒霉,就这样,晚上便变成了这只猪脚!老啦....
难道又要再回去那间超贵的跌打馆???

看起来,今天好像好多了,没有这么肿,也没有那么痛了。回家再搽些跌打药再看吧!

现实世界

闲来扒论坛看到的...
嗯 朋友以前就是穿这样的,T-SHIRT +短裤+拖鞋.
当时还中五 他去追个女生 但那女的鸟都没鸟他
但是在那一年最后一堂补习 他老爸驾ferrari来载他
当时我记得那辆车才刚出不久
那女的反而追回他 哈哈...
他现在去college驾toyota AE86(整个bumper快掉下来那一种)
但是他家里有两辆ferrari啊!他friendster的图片还有两辆lambo


还有一个故事...
话说有一天...去看房屋展销会...
有一个老伯穿到很随便...可能就短裤拖鞋吧...
他就问一名salesman屋价之类的问题...
salesman就说:"uncle,你看中那一间???我给你折扣!"(语气是uncle买不起那样)
uncle就笑笑一下...然后走了
过了15分钟...一辆豪华的Benz到了展销会门口...下车的是刚才那位uncle
他就跟刚才那位salesman说:"你刚才说给我折扣,是吗??好...这一整排我都要了!"
看到那个salesman脸青青...完全不会回答,完全不懂要怎样才好


再来一个...
还有一次是我和朋友在餐厅的经历。
我们几个去一间高级餐厅吃饭,全都是COLLEGE学生,JEANS,T-SHIRT,等了很久那些服务员都不来。
我们全部感觉到了他们是狗眼。我一个朋友就叫我们全部把各自的信用卡拿出来,我的是CLASSSIC,然后其余的就是金卡。全部摊开放在桌子上,金光闪闪。
不一会服务员就来了,问我们要吃什么,他一出声,我们全部把卡收起来,起身就走,睬都不睬他。


现实。。。实在是太现实了。那女的,追到了,都要哭一世!
那salesman,望你一世做死salesman仔!狗眼看人底!
很够酷的COLLEGE学生,不知道我有机会用这一招吗!

没有拖拍的日子...


没有拖拍的日子,我很积极的充实自己。从Badminton, squash, golf, guitar lesson, clubbing 到 blogging. 甚至 cooking, 放工后有时还会拿起锅铲炒两样菜来招呼自己的肚子。但还是有太多的空闲时间,因此还很想向一些高手学摄影、相理玄学。

摄影, 刚买的"傻瓜"又不能满足我,少了一部高性能的 digital SLR。拍来拍去,都是那么的两样。一点pro 的感觉都没有。终有一天,我会去拌一架 dSLR 回来;

相学,是因为想以它来辅助自己,改善运程,当今理所当然的是以事业与爱情为先吧!哈哈!其实不是迷信,只是好奇。万一真的准的话,我便可以远远看到人,便知道他是凶是吉。然后再转行更Joey Yap 抢饭吃罗。







以上都是小弟Christmas时在隔壁岛新加坡公干时偷闲用那"傻瓜"拍的。毫无水准,献丑了!

a busy week of mine....

Padi field on the way back from Tg Dawai

Last week was a busy week of mine. I attended two of my good friends’ weddings. One is in Kulim, the other in Tg Dawai (Kedah). Even though it was a tiring journey, driving from KL to the northern twice in a week, but it worth. I’m happy for the two gorgeous brides, I wish both of them will have a happy new journey of life in future. Also, I met up with all the old friends there; it was just like a gathering to get all the friends together. I think this is one of the way to get everybody together in the near future. One of them even straight comes to the wedding after landing from hours of flight.

Frenz 4 Life Charity Concert - The Kids

After the wedding, I rushed back to KL for a performance. It was a charity concert organized by my Music School in aid of raising funds for Down syndrome children. I performed a singing while playing guitar with another 2 youngsters. I didn’t do well. Maybe it’s because of the lacking of practice (attending weddings)[Excuses]. The two young man a little panic, and we missed a few keys in the beginning, but anyhow it's a charity event, I don’t really mind how lousy it was, hahaa..Generally, we were not that bad also.

《完美100群星演唱会》

海螺音乐15周年,动员中台马新4地歌手的《完美100群星演唱会》,参与演出的歌手包括了阿杜、JJ林俊杰、光良、张信哲、林宇中、金莎、吴克群、李吉汉、曾国辉等。
At night, I rushed to Bukit Jalil for another concert, this round be the audience. I get the tickets from my client. The concert, 《Perfect 100 Charity Concert》comprising of artistes from China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore.

A brilliant football Superstar

(after the concert)...
Ah Moi: "Look...there is a shining superstar standing in the middle of the stadium."
Ah Leng Lui: "Where? Who? Ohhh... The most famous football player... Wahhh...so stylish... cool man...."
Ah Moi: "Yea yea, let's get his signature! Go! Go! Go!"
Ah Leng Lui: "I wanna take photo with him, too."

现代跌打馆 (2)

昨天,又到回去那间跌打馆复诊。这次承受的痛苦更甚。整个背部被刮痧,形成了一幅壮观的"活血龙刺青"。整十分钟的过程,真的很难熬,但还是强忍着痛苦与泪水,熬了过去。最后还被那煎得热腾腾的药膏烫了几回,再敷在患处。好了,还以为一切都过去了,那知道出来后,他要了我 60 块,我的心又再被刺痛了一次。 还叫我过几天再回去复诊。妈的!虽然那师傅确有两下子,给他摸摸扭扭几下,马上 feel 到骨骼肌肉松了,好多了,但是收费也实在是太贵了啦!如果没什么事,我想应该不会回去看了吧!

(图)壮丽的血龙身被覆盖了...

现代跌打馆

华陀铁打
最近,因为打 badminton 而弄伤了背部,很痛。连弯腰、转身都感觉得痛。回家自己搽了几天药,还是不很"掂"。最后还是乖乖的跑去看跌打。这间跌打馆并不是一般传统的跌打馆。店内装璜得很得体,付费可以碌卡,而且还有 Website 的添。但羊毛出在羊身上,我忍痛给他扭两下,敷了帖药,就要了我 85 块,真他妈的"死别"贵!! 50块填补在馆子的装修和 maintain website & hosting 吧! 真的是疼在心里、痛在背上。可怜...
如果黄飞鸿在世,他的宝芝林应该会比较便宜吧!他们应该向黄师傅学习,赠医施药、以济贫苦,所谓医者父母心。

醒来吧...马来西亚

While Malaysia Fiddles, Its Opportunities Are Running Dry
By Michael Backman
The Age

http://www.michaelbackman.com/LatestAgeColumn2.html

超赞!当我读到这篇论言, 我就马上发送给朋友们分享。尤其是那段什么建Olympic Stadium in London 啦, 送太空人升空,之前还说要在太空上抛 roti canai, 玩teh tarik. Bullshit!! 好心,简直是有辱我们人民。花这么多人民的钱,去搞一些不切实际的东东,简直是不知所谓。自己的本事还没到家,却以假借旁人的本领而引以为荣,自欺欺人! 其实旁人只会摇头、一笑置之。连太空梭是怎么样、怎么驾、该往那里走都不清楚,就要吵着上太空,就好像搭 Taxi 去太空。可怜...

有时,也很喜欢读他的blog - LIM KIT SIANG 林吉祥
在他的blog里的Economics category,你也可以找到同这个课题的Post. 当中有90 多人给予comments.

以下是Michael Backman 回应马来西亚读者的详文:

Malaysia Boleh II..Michael Backman's Response
Michael Backman
November 17 2006

The response to my recent column 'While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry', published in The Age newspaper on November 15 has been overwhelming. I've received hundreds of e-mails and messages, many from Malaysians both in Malaysia and outside, of which perhaps 95% have been supportive. Thank you for these. It seems that the column has given voice to concerns that many Malaysians have.

I'd like to emphasise (and as many of you realise already), that I wrote the column as constructive criticism. I like Malaysia very much. I visit often and have many Malaysian friends of all races. I've also written a lot that is positive about Malaysia in the past, most notably in a previous book of mine - The Asian Insider: Unconventional Wisdom for Asian Business, which has no less than five chapters to explain to people outside Malaysia why I feel that Malaysia should be given more credit than it gets.

There have been many achievements. There is much about which Malaysians can be proud. Malaysia, for example, is far more politically mature and developed than is Singapore. The media is more open too (but of course not as open as it could or should be.) Malaysians are more entrepreneurial too. AirAsia started in Malaysia and has revolutionised air travel across Asia. In Singapore, there is very much a sense that the government has to do everything.

I also believe that the NEP, which has seen special advantages given to bumiputeras over other groups, has been important for Malaysia. It has been essential for nation building. Malaysia is peaceful and while the various groups may not mix much there is clear mutual respect between them. That is a huge achievement.

However, the problem as I said in my column, is waste. And also the use of statistics that are blatantly wrong. Malaysia also has a big problem with transparency. Too little account is made of how other people's money is spent. The police too are way too corrupt for a country as developed as Malaysia. The rote learning that is practiced in the schools also needs to be done away with. Generations of Malaysian children are missing out on an education that should teach them how to be creative and critical - this is what a truly modern, boleh country needs. Again, my comments are meant to be constructive. And I make them as a non-Malaysian largely because many Malaysians feel rightly or wrongly that they cannot say these things themselves in their own country.

Since my column was published, plans for a new RM400 million Istana have been announced and the Agriculture Ministry parliamentary secretary has told Parliament that Malaysia's first astronaut will be playing batu seremban and spinning tops and making teh tarik while in space. There are countless scientists around the world who would give anything for the opportunity to go to space and do real experiments.
For the Malaysian government to send an astronaut into space to play Malay children's games serves only to re-emphasise my point about waste. Not only that, it makes Malaysia look infantile in the eyes of the rest of the world, which is a great pity when Malaysia has made so many real achievements. The world is getting more clever, more competitive and more dynamic every day.There are too many in Malaysia who don't seem to understand this.

Of course my views are just that: my views. But I have spent most of my adult life analysing and writing about Asia. I am direct and critical; I do not veil my criticisms because I don't want to waste my time or yours with readers trying to guess what I really mean. Open debate is absolutely critical for all modern, dynamic countries. The free flow of ideas and information helps to make countries rich. Political leaders cannot do everything on their own be they in the UK, Australia or Malaysia. They need help. Otherwise they make mistakes. And when they do, whose fault isthat? Those who prefer to stay quiet? And should I as a non-Malaysian be commenting on Malaysia? Of course. Malaysian political leaders and commentators routinely comment about other countries. That's how the world is now, an inter-dependent, global world. And the world is much better for it.

I will write another column about Malaysia soon.

可爱女孩


前一阵子,连续的朋友喜宴,再加上马来友族的开斋节几天长假,一连3 个周末都回怡保。而也连续的三个星期都到一间咖啡馆 (Breeze Café) 泡。在那驻唱的女孩很可爱,唱功也一流。尤其是唱Janice 的 《大哥》、《心乱如麻》,真得很好听。很适合她唱。
第一天,刚好有拿相机,就拍了好几张照片。而她也很大方的摆Pose 让我拍。嘿嘿。接下来的两个星期,她都认得我哩。虽然没有正式的问她名字,但我还是知道了,她应该是叫 Miko 吧。 有机会的话,再去捧场啦!

climb aboard.. the e-Train

Recently, I’ve got an opportunity to attend a presentation by someone who is working hard on SEO/SEM. What the heck is SEO/SEM?? It is Search Engine Optimization/ Marketing. Many of you know there are 2 young entrepreneurs running their business well on this search engine field, yea, you’re right, it is Google. All IT guy or even non-IT guy know Bill Gates, but just wonder how many really know the 2 Google founders’ name? Frankly, I don’t really know their exact name until I attended the presentation. I only know they are ranking high in the Top-richest man in the world in the recent few years.
The presentation sparked me somehow. I’m start thinking, how does the Google bring such good money to Lawrence (Larry) Page and Sergey Brin? Finally I can remember their name well like Bill Gates after some research on Google’s anatomy. Now, Google is so famous until the word "google" becomes equivalent to the word “search”. It’s very interesting, how the Google can handle such a gigantic amount of search engine index of the thousands of million of the web sites. How is the algorithm behind works to rank the ranking of the search result? Before this I thought website can be ranked highest when you get the highest hits. But, after reading the documents, then I know it is not true. In fact, there are few things need to be take into consideration, for example, the famous PageRank, to judge your website citation importance and quality. Then, you won’t be surprised why these two young guys can be so rich in a short period. Every second they are earning from the internet.
Compare to Microsoft product, which is far too complicated. Just take the recent released Windows Vista for example. People said Windows Vista is the largest concerted software project in human history. Vista is said to have over 50 million lines of code. And there are 2,000 software developers working on it. It takes way too long time for Microsoft team to come out with a new product. That’s the reason why the launching of Vista has been delayed and delayed. Microsoft started to develop this next version of Microsoft Windows somewhere mid of 2001, prior the release of Windows XP.
Some people foresee, in 5-10 years, Larry and Sergey can take over Bill’s top wealthy ranking in the world. I think I should spend more time on “googling” all this useful info from the internet. Knowledge of technology revolution is affording every willing participant in the world. The environment of the future will come alive with technology. We should expose ourselves and open up our eyes to the world, and must get tech-ready. We have to catch the train, the e-train. Climb aboard together, dude!!!

我的第一次 Driving Range

昨天,跟随老板去打golf. 虽然只是 driving range, 而不是 on green, 但还是很不错的。记得中学时期,放假或周末有时都会去Golf Club做 caddy, 帮人家拿golf bag. 当时,总是认为打golf是很简单的罢了。直到昨天,才知道玩golf并不是我想象中的容易。要如何以不同的irons, 瞄准那粒小白球, 再以很consistent 的把球往前直线打出去。打了整百粒球,手都酸了。但还是很爽,我想下个星期还会再去打吧!

失望

最近,巫青团的副团长凯里的「种族边缘化论」,引起了政治波动,华社的不满。我想,大半的华族,都对他的言论感到反感。也有的马来友族领袖也看不过眼。自己不长进,没有去努力,得不到就找借口说别人排挤等的。政府一直以来都已很保护马来种族,可能这就是情况的所因。
此外,贸工部长拉菲达前阵子的AP问题,最近的外资公司土著30%股权的课题,也令我很失望。她说,如果外资公司不愿意分发30%股权给土著的条例,我国只好向他们说BYE-BYE。真不明白,多少发展中国家积极吸引外资入注,我国却开倒车。十多年前,我国开放了经济市场,明显地吸引了很多外资公司。如今情况不同了,外资的吸引力已经慢慢的减退,我国还是坚持着十多年前的政策,一穷不变是行不通的。事实上,很多高官都是外国留学回来,他们也把孩子送去外国留学。他们都明白外国的科技、知识都比我国好。偏偏他们就不好好的珍惜外资的涌入。
其实,我国可以在建设上发展的很快,但国民的文化、思想却还未达到那个程度。就比如中国,大城市如广州、上海、北京发展已远远地把我国抛离,但中国人民的思想、文化却还未追的上发展的列车。马来西亚也是面对着这个问题。刚过的国庆日庆典的一些负面新闻报导,画面出现一些年轻的马来青年,拿着国旗在街上装腔作势、大声疾呼、滋事、打架。我很怀疑他们对国庆日重视的意义。他们就好似失去理智的流氓、甚至和恐怖分子没什么两样,很可悲。

内里的...我

很多人,很多时候,都说我很酷,很文静(用来形容我,好像怪怪的),是一个不折不扣的闷蛋。其实,我本身一点都不认同。觉得很多人,都被我的外表给蒙骗了。我只可以说是一个慢热的家伙。一直以来,都觉得自己和平常人有一丁点儿的不同(不是家财,更不是身材、样貌,是思想上),比起很多人,我一点也不输(哈哈,不知臭!) 你要我疯,我可以跟你癫;你要我乱,我可以跟你闹。总之,我并不是你们想象中的我。可能,在某某人面前,有时会显得有点木讷.... 那可能是有原因的啊.... 可能我... 可能你...你..你..我..我.. 嘿..在你面前,舌头就打结了! 给我点时间吧....你会发现深藏在内里的我.... 别太早下定论啊!可能我不比他差呢....别"吾识货",我是一等男人来嘎!! .......看了都想呕吧?? 哈哈...抱歉, Sorry =)!! 继续听着James Blunt 的 You're Beautiful... 继续哼着.... 有点苦涩...

治安红色警报

政府应该花多一些资源在整理国家的教育与治安。教育程度的距离,会直接影响一个人在社会谋生的困难,间接的就造就了罪恶的增长。警力不够,就加聘;难吸引人们加入,就检讨,多花些钱去调整警员的福利与薪酬。一个国家就算有多好的建设、最高的建筑也好,如果没有安稳的政治与治安,也是没用的。先搞好治安,才能吸引商家注资,再来发展建设,这样国才能进步,成为一个安稳的先进国。

学guitar..."霖"女孩...

玩了 guitar 都好几年了,向朋友学习,从书上自己摸索,觉得还是不是很"掂",一直停留在乱弹的阶段。所以就跑去 music school 报名学 guitar. 虽然年纪好像有一点儿大了,music school 的学生,都是中学生,小学生,甚至幼儿园的小孩,但还是不管那么多了,豁出去了!学费是有点儿贵,但希望将来会有点成绩吧!
之前自学,都没有打好基本乐理基础;如今不同了,要和五线谱和一颗颗的豆芽"埋堆"了。开始是有点难度,每颗豆芽都差不多! 其实,也想过要学钢琴,但因为成本较贵,所以还是学好一样再学一样吧! 觉得,一个人,应该去学至少一样乐器,因为它是一种很好的陶冶心情的方法。
好吧,就看一年半载,能不能抱着吉它到处去"霖"一个女孩回来吧... 哈哈哈....

I conquered Gunung NuanG

Yesterday, together with friends, I conquered the highest mountain in Selangor, the Gunung Nuang at 1493m (4898feet).
Around 8.50am, 10 of us, we equipped ourselves with walkie-talkies, split into 4 groups (Eagle 1,2,3,4). We took about 3 and ½ hours to reach the 2nd base camp, Pacat Campsite by 12.20pm. We took 15 min break, and then we proceed to the summit. Unfortunately, some of the membes gave up before reaching the summit. They returned to the base camp.
However, Shu Yee, Michael and I insist to hit the summit. Starting from the base camp to the summit, we have to use our both hands to climb up. With the encouragement and support among us, we pushed ourselves to the limit even though we were tired and legs were full with Lactic Acid, made us feel the pain after the exhaustive climbing. At last, we reached the summit by 2.40pm. As the time was getting late, we must go down before 3pm. We stayed there for about 15min, and then we started to climb down. By then, unfortunately, my shoe tore off. With the heavy mist, and the wet mud, steep hill, it was even tougher for me. At 5.30pm, we met up with the other members who were still waiting us at the base camp, and we started to move down. By the time, everybody was extremely tired. I myself, almost exhausted on the way down. We move slowly, and the day was getting dark. We could just follow the trail with a small torch-light we had.
Finally, we managed to reach the registration office by 8.10pm. We changed our muddy clothes, and heading to grab some food.
It was quite a good experience. It reminded me the Mt. Kinabalu I climbed 3 years ago. I would say it is not less tough than that. Maybe I was not well prepared this round. Also, I learned a lesson here, if I were to go Gunung Tahan, I must be well trained in physically and mentality. Because Gunung Tahan climbing is like climbing Gunung Nuang for 5-6 days continuously from 8.30pm – 6 or 7pm daily. Now, one round up and down, my legs, knees and the joints all every painful already. Going up or down staircase, like killing me…arrrrr……..

小顽皮


整理家里 PC 的 hard disk, 发现到这可爱的顽皮家伙小时的照片。这小瓜, 称自己为鹏鹏; 他,是我的表侄儿。他两三个月大时便由我妈看顾了。现今都快三岁了吧。除了睡觉,他没有一刻是停着的。觉得他比一般的小孩有点不同,他学东西很快,跑上跑下,蹦蹦跳跳,没有一刻能静下来的。不知道是不是一个 hyper-active 的孩子。每回看到这张照片,都会很自然的惠心一笑。因为这小家伙实在是太可爱了!
现在比较大了,爸妈也太疼护他了,所以也比较顽皮,比较难教了。希望现在回到他父母亲身边,能够被好好的调教,相信皆以时日,他会有一番作为的。当中也看到了我爸妈管教鹏鹏的一套,和我们三姐弟的思想有少许的不同。爸妈太保护他了。到今天,爸妈还是把我们三姐弟看成小孩般,处处为我们着想,保护我们。其实,我们都长大成人了,懂得分析事情,懂得照顾自己。说来惭愧,两老有福的话,早已盼到媳妇或女婿的一杯茶,又或者忙着把玩孙儿了吧! 哈哈!! 离家读书、工作都6 - 7 年了,还不会自己照顾自己,早已饿死街头了啦。。。
只希望 爸妈能放下一切,开开心心的过日子。得空到处走走,到处玩玩;不必再为我们几个担心了。大富大贵的日子可能难盼,但平淡安稳、三餐温饱的日子,我们姐弟都还能做得到吧!

我的钢琴女孩...

某天,在购物广场 shopping. 走着走着,听到某处传来王菲<<我愿意>>的优雅钢琴声。很自然的便循着琴声的方向走去。虽然落在眼前一幕的是一个三十出的女人坐在钢琴前陶醉的在琴键上舞动柔指,但还是站在一旁欣赏着有一阵子吧! 一直以来,都很欣赏,很喜欢会弹钢琴的女孩。看着她专心致志的让手指随意在键盘上弹动着,听着从琴弦传出来的轻优动人旋律,看着她那轻飘飘的柔发,真的很优雅、很有气质、又很可爱。另一方面,也很喜欢蹦蹦跳跳、好玩好动、开朗的女孩。看着她嘻嘻哈哈的开心样子,我想有多么的烦恼也会抛在脑后吧! 将来如果我有一个女儿,我一定会让她学钢琴 (如果她有兴趣)
现实上,大多数会弹钢琴的女孩,都会比较文静吧。要找一个又会弹钢琴又好动的女孩,却实会比较难,至少还没让我遇到过吧! 真的有个女孩在某处等着我吗? 女神啊 ... 我的女神... 你在哪里啊???

  2006年4月27日的晚上 (拍片者 Jom 的口述),一个名为Elvis的青年在乘搭68x号巴士时,因不满坐在前面的阿叔(即68x林尚义)电话交谈声量过大,便轻拍该阿叔肩膀,示意他将声量小一点,但阿叔非常愤怒。最初,Elvis面对咄咄逼人的大叔,一度想息事宁人,岂料大叔连续回应三次“未解决”(后来成为香港人的口头禅),气势一次比一次强劲,更以“你有压力,我有压力,你为什么挑衅我呀?”及流利广东话粗话怒骂对方。其后,阿叔先后有两次想停下来的迹象,但Elvis却分别对阿叔说“警告你”及“君子动口不动手”,令大叔再度展开毒骂,事件最后以阿叔接听电话停止怒骂作结。

这事件被流传在网上,引起很多人的注目,热烈追捧,也给了很多的意见。有的说,那年轻人太多事了;有的说,那阿叔太小题大做、太霸道了;也有的人说,车上没有一个人站出来维护那年轻小伙子,只是袖手旁观。
如果事情发生在马来西亚,将又会是一个怎么样的版本呢?这事件其实带来了很好的反映。藉此来探讨, 从中可以引发你深层次的道德观念、社会学的思考。比如说,如果当时你是当事人,你会如何反应? 如果你是现场的其中一个邻座乘客,你又会如何呢? 巴士阿叔的谩骂是缓解压力的正确方式吗?
