回來了。

心情暢快。


準備下一次出走,出走到更遙遠的地方。

【是甚麼讓我們不再能夠坦白呢?】




到底是甚麼,讓彼此不再能夠坦然面對自己重視的人呢?
 

晚上看了《開往春天的地鐵》。好傷感的電影。

我的日常,已經被太多得體的謊言和漂亮的陰謀充塞,完全沒有想過在自己心愛的人面前還要計算和包裝彼此的相處。我的笨頭腦,大慨也招架不了浪接浪的吧。

不過話說回來,也是因為愛,才會花氣力去掩飾來維繫殘存(?)的那絲關係罷。愛情,真是好難纏的題目。


已經幾乎是十年前的電影了,有些地方(尤其是角色衣著打扮!) 現在看來固然難免有點「娘」(嘩,電影是02年的北京喎,其實都算係咁啦話…)。可電影裡頭那陣城市的氣息,還未顯得老套。那個地鐵車站,說真的,我覺得好靚… 而且呢,裡面有好多黑熊寶寶…

 張一白的電影似乎也不太對口胃,之前看過《迷果 / 秘岸》(?),跟這部, 也說不上喜歡,可還是很想看導演的另一部《好奇害死貓》。這部電影,就只有主題歌「開往春天的地鐵」在腦裡縈繞不去。有好些年,很沉迷大陸的搖滾(??), 張亞東就是被瘋狂勁loop的對象之一,另外好像還有Sober清醒樂隊等等,都忘了。今天再聽張亞東的東西,還是很喜歡,証明當年也不是沒原因的迷上…

(11月還買了票,要去看竇唯… 而且由買票到現在,還是持續處於好興奮的狀態…其實到現在還是對好些大陸樂手無法抗拒吧…)





明天去看 《紫‧釵‧緣》,又一個夭心夭肺的愛情故事。
今天在舊報章讀到也斯為演出寫的一篇專題,更加期待。

Maru, you are soooooo adorable!



MARU,你是涼風,為終日在辦公室困獸鬥的小人類,送爽!

如何得悉自己是時候轉換工作呢?

假如公司開出比現在更優的條件來要求你落地生根
而你腦海即時已經湧出十萬個理由來推卻

簡單來說
就是公司「Ug」錢「Ug」福利「Ug」假俾你你都唔要

就是你應該走的時候了。

。吃。


晚上看Jamie's MInistry of Food,看著看著覺得好感動啊。

Jamie原本以為,教會部份連爐也不會開,甚至連何以辨識水滾都不懂 (!不要看著我,我知道何謂水滾的!) 的「學生」一些簡單的菜色,讓他們每人再教另外兩個「學生」,然後再讓那些「學生」的「學生」每人分別再教會兩個「學生」,讓大家都能夠掌握簡單的煮食技巧,發現煮食的便捷,享受為家人朋友下廚的滿足與分享的喜悅,就可以逐步改變大家依賴外賣速食的習慣。

計劃以 Rotherham作試點。我不認識這個地方,節目中提到他們在york,網上說它位於South Yorkshire (yumyum,有好味道的pudding?!) 。看來也不是很繁榮的地區吧。

其中一個very talented的學生是年輕的Natasha,她願意學習的原因是為了她每天只能夠和只「愛」吃Kebab和Fries的女兒。小女孩看起來約6、7歲吧,樣子有點怪怪的,家裡環境也不太好,孩子沒有爸爸,經濟有點拮据。看到Natasha為家人第一次弄肉丸,女兒跟她說lovely時她的喜悅,看得心頭暖暖。

然後呢,她還當起大使,跟其他學生一起為Rotherham的居民煎魚排,喚起大家對煮食的注意,讓我們也以為她和她的家人從此就有些不一樣的飲食和家庭生活,也讓她自己的生活過得有變得有一些目標時,我們發現她原來並沒有按計劃把食譜教予新的學生。

原因不過是沒有錢。

錢,只有這麼多,要用來乘巴士買肉買菜,還是要用來繳帳單呢?Natasha沒得選擇。所以呢,已經沒有再為孩子煮吃的了。

Natasha承認,自己應該可以更好的安排家裡的財政,她為自己沒有做得更好而哭了。看到這裡,唉,心頭酸溜溜的。不單在香港,全世界都有這樣的家庭。那些唔識諗的父母,其實都知道自己唔識諗,其實都會後悔的。他們需要的,不是NGO給他們的一頓溫飽,不是Jamie教他們快速、簡單而且便宜的食譜 (那些肉丸,不過是肉碎洋加些鹽罷了)。他們需要的,大抵是教育,不單是知識層面的教育,更多的可能就是行為和紀律性的教育。

說遠了,我不過想說,在世上有人連基本的「吃」的權利也無法掌握的同時,我今晚吃了30蚊一X ( X=磅? 斤? 公斤? 忘了… ) 的水蜜桃。買的時候,我根本就沒有概念一X等於什麼。只是看著它們脹鼓鼓的坐在架上,好可愛呀,就好想買。

選了兩個,結賬時,嘩,卅幾蚊喎!即是比一X還要多喎!晚上一邊吃一邊覺得自己好罪過啊,世界上還有很多小朋友好像Natasha的女兒一樣,每天只有Kebab和Fries,甚至連Kebab和Fries都沒有得吃啊!我吃兩個飯後果已經足夠世上另外一些小朋友飽吃一大餐了吧 :(

活在人都癲的世界上,空氣,你今日買左未?

世界越來越一塌胡塗。如果,花兩塊錢可以呼吸一口清心怡神的空氣,有那麼一剎那,我也想過這真是不錯的選擇。

世界越混帳,腦袋越來越被蒸發掉。

Using your dead mother's telephone!!!
然後呢,又在網路看到布拉格的弗朗茨卡夫卡國際機場 (Prague's Franz Kafka Int'l Airport)當選世界最異化的機場 (World's Most Alienating Airport)。

看著新聞片,我覺得好快樂啊!設想自己身在這個機場,我一定被氣炸得瘋狂喪笑吧!

(尤其如果我是那個被反覆質疑質疑再質疑最後被標上"LIAR"在手背的旅客,我想,我一定笑到無氣去投訴,或者求救囉!咩事先!!!)




--------------------------------------------------------------


在紛擾的世界上,耐唔耐實在應該避一下世,免得腦袋在灰烟瘴气的世道裡面越來越混沌(即係越來越蠢囉)。

一行禪師11月來香港,主持講座及生活營,並有日營可供選擇。是次香港之行題為「喜悅之旅」,點題句「幸福 是 此時此地」"Happiness is Here and Now" ,希望可以讓大家從悲傷和仇恨(過度)的氛圍裡平復過來。緊記珍惜當下擁有的美好。

深切哀悼菲律賓遇害港人 In remembrance of the Manila hijack victims



行政長官曾蔭權:市民應互相扶持共度難關
CE calls on the community to look for mutual support




-----------------------------------------------------------------



打從昨天特首說未能與菲國總統連絡對話開始,我心裡一直有些困惑。

菲律賓雖然落後雖然是窮,可畢竟還是一個國家。特首您(!)說實在,不過是中國裡面區區一個SAR的首長,人家的總統為什麼要跟你通電話? 香港人假如在美國遇事了,誰會認為奧巴馬會跟特首您通電話呢?

即是呢,特首在這件事情上,到底是一時昏了腦袋,忘記了自己管治的只是一個SAR,還不是一個國,還是慣了享受菲律賓傭工的侍候,以為整個菲律賓的人民都是 UNDER 他閣下的管治,所以都應該向他閣下報告情況呢?香港人,不是說你比別人富貴,就要別人聽你的。

好了,特首期望菲總統與他閣下電聯固然有禮儀上的問題。可是,如果由中國來出頭,叫領導人跟菲總統對話是不是就夠平等呢?可是呢,我們畢竟是個SAR,事事都叫中央出手也是有不妥當的 (這是直覺,無法說明)(!!)。不過,菲政府今天表示會派員親自向先北京再向香港報告調查結果,就表示菲政府在主次尊卑這方面還是相當清醒的。

那即係點呢?

即是呢,自從 HK 變成 HKSAR 開始,我們根本就是兩頭唔到岸的孤兒仔囉。

不過呢,今晚見到菲律賓總統一邊以俄羅斯歌劇院事件與今次香港遊客事件比較,一邊表情輕挑嘴角微笑,並說今次都還沒有俄羅斯死咁多人,真是無名火起。總統先生似乎相當滿意甚至 PROUD OF 今次的處理手法,簡直匪夷所思。走來香港或者其他地方的菲律賓人,友善歡容的菲律賓人,我為你們脫離冷血總統的管治感到高興。

生死有時


 
 2010年8月23日,農曆七月十四日,香港的黑色星期一。

 同一時間,同一環境,有的能夠走出車箱,有的客死異鄉。

 「生有時、死有時」,其實都不是我們能夠計算。

 當下,我們只能夠掌握自己的業。
 做好自身,及時行善,和樂。

 不要計算。
 命運,從來都無法計算。

 共勉之。



 -----------------------------------------------------------------------



 不怨命還不怨命,可是菲律賓警察這樣子,是不是也太過份了一點?
 看過也真無法按耐得了心裡的激動:




-----------------------------------------------------------------------



 

President Benigno Aquino said he had been confident in the security forces
Philippine police have stormed a hijacked bus and shot dead a former police officer who had taken a group of Hong Kong tourists hostage. 
Eight of the hostages were killed in the bloody siege, which ended with several survivors crawling from the bus while emergency crews removed bodies.
A former policeman armed with an assault rifle had seized the bus in an apparent attempt to get his job back.
Hong Kong's government has criticised the handling of the siege.
In all, 22 Hong Kong tourists were taken hostage along with three Filipinos - a driver, a guide and a photographer.
Chinese officials said all eight of the dead were from Hong Kong.
Survivor's questions
One of the survivors, who identified herself only as Mrs Leung, told reporters that her husband had been killed trying to stop the gunman from shooting other passengers.

"I miss him. I actually really wanted to die with him. But I think of my children," she said, according to AFP news agency.

She was critical of the way police handled the situation, saying: "Why was there no-one to help us after so many hours?"
Hong Kong's leader Donald Tsang also criticised the way the siege was dealt with.
"The way it was handled, particularly the outcome, I find is disappointing," he said.
Radio threats
 
Police Colonel Nelson Yabut told reporters that the gunman, identified as 55-year-old Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza, was killed after he decided to enter a shoot-out with police marksmen.
"On our first assault, Captain Mendoza was sprawled in the middle of the aisle and shot one of our operatives. On our second assault we killed him," said Col Yabut.

TV stations in the Philippines carried live broadcasts of the drama, and the footage showed hostages crawling out of the vehicle by the back door as the siege came to an end.
The gunman had spent almost three decades with Manila's police force, but was sacked earlier this year over claims of extortion.
During the hostage crisis, he posted signs with his demands on the bus' windows - the main one being for the police force to reinstate him.
During early negotiations, nine people were freed from the bus, and the driver fled to safety, leaving 15 hostages on board.
One of the gunman's brothers, also a police officer, was drafted in to help the negotiating team.
But as the police operation moved into full swing, the gunman became agitated and told a local radio station he would kill the remaining hostages.
"I shot two Chinese. I will finish them all if [the police] do not stop," he told the Radio Mindanao Network.
"I can see a lot of Swat [special weapons and tactics police] coming in. I know they will kill me. They should all leave because any time I will do the same here."
Dramatic end
 
The BBC's South East Asia correspondent Rachel Harvey says the gunman would have been trained in police tactics, and would have known what to expect - so the police moved very cautiously.

Hong Kong chief executive Donald Tsang: "I feel exceedingly sorry for the families"

About an hour before the siege ended, a group of officers approached the bus and attempted to board it by barging in the back door.

But they retreated amid the noise of gunfire coming from the bus.

Soon afterwards, TV images showed the body of a man slumped out of the front of the bus.

Later reports claimed it was the body of the gunman, shot by police.

The gunman had boarded the bus at Luneta Park in central Manila, and the hostage drama played out across the eight-lane road inside the park.
