售货员

不知道大家有无遇到过很 aggressive, 很 pushy 的售货员?

今日, 我走进一间标明全场HK$100的店铺, 正想看看是否有又平又抵的正货, 售货员马上「轰」埋0黎:「小姐, 我地现在全场HK$100. 」这句说话尚算合情合理, 毕竟售货员不能排除有顾客是文盲的可能性. 而我的头上, 也没有刻着「我认得字」.

我向售货员讲: 「Okay, 等我慢慢睇.」这时候,识做的售货员会行开, 与我保持距离, 让我慢慢挑选. 可是, 这个售货员在不到三秒的时间, 便马上拿起货架上的某件货, 向我促銷: 「小姐, 呢件好0岩你吖.」(按1) 对于这种推销方法, 我是十分抗拒的. 因为我的 taste 绝对与你不同. 而且, 你给我的感觉并非为了我的外形配合某件衣服而作出专业推荐, 而是为了把卖不出的货物硬塞给我.

这时, 我会再重复一次: 「得喇, 我慢慢睇. 」

平常人听到这句说话, 应该都好明白应该要怎样做. 可是, 世上总是有些异人, 今天我就遇上了一位. 这位售货员又在其他货架上拿起另一件衣服, 问我: 「小姐, 呢件你中唔中意吖?」

我看也没有看那件衣服, 干脆答她不喜欢, 便离开了.

按1: 某些售货员把这句话变种: 「小姐, 你甘高/瘦/白净, 呢件好0岩你吖.」

Scorpio Rising
You emanate a strong emotional or sexual force field that can transform your surroundings, be they personal or even global, to a far better or far worse state. Notable examples: Gandhi, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Thatcher. You base your identity on power and influence, and consequently have to wrestle with the dark side of life and of yourself. Failure to do so creates an unpleasant atmosphere.

This dark side should be exorcised artistically or psychotherapeutically or through sexual love - or a combination of these. You need a stable and resolute mate to balance out this intensity, but as if you are seeing life through X - ray eyes, and indeed you are able to see beneath surface appearances. In addition, or alternatively, you somehow "cloak" your true feelings and identity, as if you had something you'd rather not have seen by others - or yourself for that matter.

All this matches or creates your strong sexual vibration and sense, and gives you the ability to become quite unnoticeable, yet still emanate that intense atmosphere. You like secrecy and all that it involves. As such, you make an excellent confidante for possessing a secret, this far more enjoyable to you than spreading gossip. However, your secrecy could be expressed as keeping your deepest doubts to yourself, with the consequence that no one can really get close to you, which is actually what you desire deep down.

Pluto is your Ruling Planet, which governs the link between your exterior being and your interior being.

Sun in Aquarius
Your essential purpose in life is to view and approach all things in an impartial and humanitarian way. In so doing, you hope and intend to liberate yourself and others from guilt, fear and conditioning. To enable you to accomplish this, you are emotionally detached to one degree or another.

If you like, you choose to not even recognize your own or others' emotional shortcomings - or if you do you shrug them off or distance yourself from them in some way. Being such a cool observer of life inclines you to being a natural psychologist, therapist, scientist - or simply a good friend.

However, this distancing of yourself from awkward emotional areas that reflect your own discomfort can have the effect of divorcing you not only from them, but also from some of your best qualities. Consequently, you stand in danger of being someone who has been processed and packaged by what you think should be you, rather than what actually is you. Others find it very hard to relate to this, then get very emotional, and cause you to do more of the same!

When you eventually immerse yourself in the pool, well or cesspit of your own rejected feelings, you lend a power and conviction to your outward expression that convinces influences - and liberates - both yourself and others. The reason for this is that others, and your emotional self, can then identify with you.

Moon in Libra

Your reigning need is to have a partner, to have people around you, to have definite social position. In order to satisfy this need you have an instinct for what pleases and possess, or acquire, talents for things like cooking, decor, fashion, entertaining or anything that introduces a sense of harmony or togetherness to a situation. Perversely, not trusting this social sense can make you rather anti-social.

Your weakness is that you become so dependent upon life being "nice" and "pleasant" that you find it hard to confront the darker or less attractive parts of your personality. And because you do have grace and charm it is all to easy to maintain a superficial sense of things being all right. It is quite likely that this need to please has its roots in your having felt that you had to please your mother, father or whoever brought you up.

The irony is that your overriding need for a partner ensures that sooner or later you do have to face what it is about yourself that is not at all easy to relate to - either because you have lost a partner or cannot find or keep one. An important advance is made when you have a partner with whom you can rationally discuss your mutual shortcomings without feeling rejected or unattractive - which is basically what you're so sensitive about.

Having confronted this issue, you then discover that your talent for making others, and therefore yourself, feel good is increased a hundredfold because feeling at ease with your own dark spots enables others to feel at ease with theirs. Ease indeed.

Mercury in Pisces

Yours is a sensitive mind that absorbs information rather than consciously learning it. Ideas and solutions seem to "surface" rather than actually being worked out and this process of "metal osmosis" sometimes cause you to be unsure about whether it's your own mind that's doing the thinking. If you're happy to let your mind be a kind of nozzle, which directs the stream of pictures and words that issues from your fertile imagination, then you'll be happy with what you do and say. If, however, you have the notion that you must be in logical control of your thought processes, you become adept at poking at the blind-spots and irrational ideas of others - because they seem to threaten your own concept of metal order. But sooner or later, your imagination will demand its due; that you express your dreams and confront your own doubts in a creative or honest way - otherwise you'll be driven even further, possibly to suppressing them unhealthily with drugs or alcohol, or with an even fiercer rationality.

Venus in Capricorn

You view love and art, and the values concerning them, very much in a traditional light. Unless something or someone is tried and true through the passage of time you're not likely to truest your sentiments, talents or possessions with them. This inflexible dependence that you have upon fidelity, constancy and "work well done" ostensibly makes for your being quite reliable as you give value or money or time spent on you or paid to you.

But your insistence upon trustworthiness can become a blind to your own emotional shortcomings, that is, a distrust based on subjective fear rather than objective conclusion. What can ensue from this is either you or your partner suddenly being very unreliable; or your being without anyone at all; or severe limitations materially as a result of not giving more of yourself to the world; or marrying or being married for money or status rather than love. Track down the cause of any deep distrust and then you and others will be as reliable as you think you and they ought to be.

Mars in Aquarius

You assert yourself best when performing as part of a group, or in the name of some collective goal. Without this you can rather indolent because you cannot find it in yourself to go it alone - and neither do you want to be just another unit in the human mass.

What initially get you going and sets you off on the road to self - confidence is having to rebel against, or break away from, something or someone which is hemming you in. You also like a sexual relationship to have a liberating effect upon you. In fact, you may enjoy sex more as an act of freedom than as an act of love or desire.

Jupiter in Leo

Faith for you depends upon how much you believe in yourself. Ideally, your sheer existence should be a testament to your own worth so you could say that cultivating an enthusiasm for yourself is your key to confidence and growth. There is a danger here of self-importance, but in some ways this is better than being falsely modest or shrewish.

However, as much as your sense of largesses can lead to great displays of generosity and wealth, it can also lead to biting off more than you can chew. Then again, thinking or acting small could find you equally pressured to pull something extra out of the bag. There comes a time for you when the nature of magnanimity has to be expressed - and properly understood.

Saturn in Virgo

You are learning to distinguish between essentials and non-essentials, between what is "good" and what is "bad" for you. Such tests as these can drive you to extremes of self-denial and self-indulgence by way of compensation. At times your conscience is like an altar at which all desires for Earthly pleasures are sacrificed; at other times you busily set about desecrating it.

In order to alleviate this possible confusion as you seesaw between your purist intentions and your more realistic physical and emotional needs, I suggest that you allot definite or equal amount of time and energy to both work and periods spent alone, as well as to pleasure and social activities. Avoid taking yourself to task to an almost masochistic extent when you fall below your standards. At the same time though, it's true that your task is to stick to your guns over matters of health and work.

Uranus in Scorpio

You belong to a generation (born during the mid 1970's to early 1980's) whose intention was to reform attitudes towards sexuality and intimacy, as well as other kinds of hidden power. During this period these elements of life started to reach a critical state, be it the advent of dangerously defiant sexual freedom or nuclear power station blowing up. Mt St Helens, the volcano in Washington State, also blew its top in 1980. Because of all this your generation is basically having to wake up to what power actually is.

Neptune in Sagittarius

You belong to the Neptunian generation born between 1970 and the mid 1980's. As this generation came of age, confusion was experienced with regard to what was right or wrong. The underlying reason for this was a want of distinction between the Law of Man and the Law of God. In other words, this generation, and the time they growing up in , had to contact a more spiritual and less material, yet at the same time practical, mean of directing human morals and appetities. A real sense of the divine or the quantum begain to emerge now.

Pluto in Libra

You are a member of Plutonian generation (1971 -1984) that grew up into a world where revolutionary changes began to take place with regard to marriage and social values. Being a child of a single parent family would be a typical example of your generation's social conditions.

In any even, you grew up in an atmosphere of great uncertainty as to what social justice and the social norm where. Evetually, as a generation, you are re-writing the social rulebook, which unavoidably means being without, or refusing to observe, the old rule book.

Leo at the Midheaven

Your life and identiy are best found and expressed through some position of prominence and authority. You do not want to be an "also ran". Studying the qualities of your Sun by Sign, House and Aspect will reveal much concerning the nature and success of your professional life.

It's important that you stand proud in the face of the public and the world at large. Your ego wants (and needs) to be put on the line. Your target is one of being seen to shine - and your mother was probably very instrumental in showing you how to do this, or how not to - or she may have (tried to) eclipse you in some way.

Astrology of ME

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

You are very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private
and not easy to know well. Behind your quiet exterior lies a
great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also
fierce determination. When you want something you go after it
rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and you
usually get it.

Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and independent-
minded individual, and you insist upon living your own life as
you see fit, even if that means ignoring convention and
tradition. In personal relationships you cannot be owned or
possessed, and while you are willing to share yourself with
another, you do not always adjust easily to the emotional give
and take of a close relationship. Though intellectually open, you
can be enormously stubborn, opinionated, and inflexible on a one-
to-one level. You have strong convictions and feelings about
fairness and equality, and you try to live by your ideals, but
your ideals about how people SHOULD treat one another don't
always take into account human weaknesses, differences, and
needs. You probably dislike sentimentality and traditional gender
roles and "games".

庆祝生日 Again and Again

看到这个标题, 相信有人想问究竟你的生日几时先庆祝完? 大家稍安勿躁, 已经庆祝得七七八八了. 我的三十岁大寿, 连续有不同的朋友请吃饭, 已经非常有面子.

这次是我的下属执意要请我. 本来我是想请客的, 毕竟她们人工不高. 但见她们兴高采烈地要请客便作罢. 刚巧昨晚去了小南国吃饭有HK$150赠劵, 今天再吃一餐, 便可以拿来用, 帮她们节省些开支. 虽然连续两天去小南国, 但我觉得其实吃什么东西不要紧, 最重要是她们的心意.

庆祝生日 Again

有一班熟朋友约我吃饭, 帮我庆祝生日. 由于我要戒口, 不能吃蛋和奶, 所以预期没有生日蛋糕吃. 最感动的是, 朋友J 小姐和 C 小姐竟然专门去了斋铺找了样子和口感一流的素蛋糕.


我选的这个绿茶蛋糕真的很好吃哦.

宗教暴力

由于有很多朋友问我为什么参加215游行, 而小小大力的文章正好详细地讲出需要站出来的理由.

有兴趣人士可前往观看.

Protecting Civil Values From Religious Right

「維護公民社會價值，反對宗教右翼霸權」大遊行

参加游行, 纯粹觉得近日宗教人士对与家暴条例的言论, 简直是妄顾逻辑. 然而, 还有一大班信众盲从附和, 所以觉得若不走出来支持反对声音, 香港就会被这些道德塔利班骑劫.

由于没有朋友会对游行有兴趣, 所以今天做完Yoga 后, 我自己一个人去. 当我跟着游行队伍慢慢走的时候, 有一个靓女撩我讲0野.

靓女 : 「点解你来0既?」

小瓶子: 「我听0左苏穎智牧师讲D 0野, 觉得实在太离谱.」

靓女 : 「系呀, 立法会咨询时, 全部都系佢地嗰班人! 你系米上youtube 睇啊?」

小瓶子: 「系呀!」

靓女 : 「你读紧书定做紧0野啊?」

小瓶子 (哗, 开心死啦, 我种有机会似系读紧书0羊???) : 「做紧野0啦! 你呢?」

靓女 : 「我读紧BU Final Year. 」

小瓶子: 「读边科吖?」

靓女 : 「你估唔到啦, 同呢D (游行) 毫无关系. 」

小瓶子: 「甘游行同读书本来就无关系0既.」

靓女 : 「我读会计架! 」

小瓶子: 「依? 我都系会计出身哦. 我大你十年左右啦. 」

靓女 : 「哗, 完全睇唔出哦. 」

小瓶子接着整个游行都保持欢乐的笑容, 没有一丝火气.

無厘頭

今日我继续去上《清茶淺爵》 爵士樂導賞課程 . 这次设备比上次改善了, 不用19" LCD monitor, 改用 projector 播放 VCD及 powerpoint, 大家都可以看清楚教授示范的例子了.

上课前, 有段小插曲. 先交代我今天的打扮: 素颜, 带黑边幼框茶色眼镜, 穿T -shirt 牛仔裤波鞋. 由于迟睡早起的关系, 看上去比丧尸好不了多少.

然而, 场内有一位工作人员, 竟然问了一条本年度我听过最九唔搭八, 無厘頭到匪夷所思的问题. 相信如果我不开估, 没有人有可能估中的. 那条问题就是..................

「你是否空姐?」

我连忙否认. 究竟我身上那处地方, 可以令人联想起空姐呢?

港式大男人

在这个浪漫的情人节, 本来应该写些促进社会和谐, 深化男女了解, 求同存异, 尔儂我儂的文章. 可惜我天生满身叛骨, 尖酸刻薄不能自己, 与朋友MSN 后, 更加速成了这篇文章.

各女士如果你身边的男人温柔体贴, 把你放在人生最重要的位置, 那么首先恭喜你, 以下说话大可不看. 有些不太幸福的女人, 遇到「港式大男人」, 就真的是不可不防.

嫁一个「港式大男人」有什么后果? 嘿嘿, 在你结婚的一天, 便从父母的掌上明珠变成不值一钱的鱼眼睛. 从此, 公婆要你伺候, 丈夫要你服侍, 买菜煮饭洗衣扫地家务事全要你做, 仔女要你生要你教, 「港式大男人」跷着二郎腿在一边风流快活, 完全没有分担的意思. 菲律賓女傭每星期有一天假, 每年有大假可以回乡休息. 但做「港式大男人」的老婆, 可是一星期七天, 年终无休, 直到死亡.

能够调教出「港式大男人」的家庭, 自然也不是什么好样. 正所谓臭坑出臭草, 夫家不会把儿媳当一回事. 甚至乎觉得自己的宝贝儿子竟然看上了你, 是你家山有福, 前世修了德才结的果. 所以你代替婆婆继续照顾那个长不大的少爷, 烦死苦死累死, 也是应该.

这还不算倒霉, 女人在外面打拼事业, 男女平等下负担一半家用, 回家后累得贼死还有一篮子家务. 过度消耗体力后, 加速容颜衰退. 到了四十岁时, 「港式大男人」一句中年危机, 就能把在外面沟十八二十岁的靓妹事件, 完全合理化.
从你决定嫁一个「港式大男人」的一刻, 在無名指上套上的不但是精美的结婚戒指, 也是你的终身枷锁.

权利? 公平? 自由?

未婚女依靠体外受精生有6子女后再产8胞胎

据新华社电 美国一名未婚女子正为产下罕见8胞胎欢庆，医学界和公众却因她早已生养6名子女展开伦理争论。

加利福尼亚州南部女子纳迪娅·苏莱曼1月26日成功产下8胞胎。婴儿们为6男2女，迄今身体情况不错，预计数周后出院。美国先前仅出现一例8胞胎出生数小时后存活案例。

纳迪娅的母亲安格拉·苏莱曼说，女儿借助体外受精生殖技术创下这项生育奇迹，先前所生6名子女也依靠这项技术。她说，纳迪娅今年33岁，至今未 婚，却从十几岁起就着迷生孩子。“够了，我再也受不了啦。她早就有6个孩子，却没有丈夫，”这名母亲颇为头痛女儿的选择，“她就是不想结婚，所以去接受体 外受精。”

纳迪娅先前所生6名子女今年在两岁至7岁之间。法院记录显示，她去年3月申请破产。

美联社1月31日报道，这件事引发公众热烈争议。许多人奇怪医生为何会帮助一名6个孩子的母亲再生8胎。

在 HANA 的BLOG, 发表了对一些事的看法. 在自己地头, 重新归纳之前发表过的言论.

有很多人觉得穷人也有生小孩子的「权利」. 我特别强调「权利」这个字眼, 是因为它非常敏感, 为什么我们会觉得某些人会有某些权利? 这是建基于公平的理由. 大家都是人, 人人平等, 所以无论贫富, 都享有生孩子的自由.

这个论调, 我不反对, 但要有一个前提, 就是无论贫富, 都需要具备生孩子的基本条件. 而生孩子的必要条件, 不一定只限于金钱. 一个穷到连自己都养不起, 生存都有问题的人, 不适合生孩子. 一个满身梅毒浓疮的人, 即使腰缠万贯, 也不适合生孩子.

「权利」和「义务」就是天秤的两边, 当天称平衡, 成水平线, 这才叫公平. 只喊生孩子的「权利」, 而漠视养育孩子的「义务」, 把这个义务推给社会, 推给安分守己的谱罗大众, 这绝对是对他们不公平.

虽然文中的这位母亲自私, 为了一己私欲生下了众多自己无法养得起的子女, 但我们仍然愿意向她提供协助, 给予她援助金. 这不是建基于这位母亲拥有「生孩子的权利」更并非赞同她的行为, 而是我们对于无辜孩子的「同情心」, 人类高度文明的体现, 人类与禽兽的分别.

滥用「权利」及「自由」, 高举「公平」的旗幟去制造不公平现象, 会削弱了人类的同情心. 以这位母亲为例, 当陆续有关她的消息发布, 说她之前生的6胞胎有3个是残障, 但她仍然不顾风险继续生下8胞胎, 就引来极端分子的恐吓, 要杀害她.

我并不赞成这种极端恐怖主义, 但这个例子说明了滥用「权利」及「自由」的后果, 是会带来仇恨的.

教廷與進化論「和解」 達爾文冥誕200周年

(明報)2月12日 星期四 05:05

【明報專訊】今日是以提出「進化論」聞名於世的英國 「生物學之父」達爾文（Charles Darwin）誕生200周年，全球各地有不少慶祝活動。梵蒂岡 亦在這個時刻與達爾文「和解」，承認「進化論」與基督教教義可互相兼容，沒有牴觸。教廷更資助舉行研討會，紀念進化論面世150周年。

達爾文於150年前發表轟動世界的《物種起源論》（On the Origin of Species），指出自然界物競天擇，強者會淘汰弱者並不斷進化。當時歐洲宗教勢力龐大，不少人堅信宇宙萬物由神創造，群起抨擊達爾文離經叛道。

梵蒂岡宗座文化委員會主席、樞機主教拉瓦西（Gianfranco Ravasi）周二表示，「進化論」與神創論其實沒有牴觸，公元4世紀的神學家聖奧古斯丁（St. Augustine）便提出進化概念，「所謂進化，是指世界依照神的旨意創造」。拉氏承認，羅馬教廷過去因達爾文的理論看似與《聖經 》「創世記」所述有牴觸，而對達爾文抱持敵對態度，但教廷現在發現生物進化論與神創論並不矛盾。

「4世紀神學家已提進化論」

羅馬宗座聖十字架大學（Pontifical Santa Croce University）神學教授坦齊那尼蒂亦表示，聖奧古斯丁比達爾文更早提出進化理論，「儘管聖奧古斯丁從沒聽過進化論，但他知道大魚吃小魚的現象，還知道生物慢慢演變」。

羅馬宗座額我略大學（Pontifical Gregorian University）自然哲學系教授勒克來爾則表示，許多神創論支持者錯誤以為達爾文的理論「完全與宗教的看法不相容」。勒氏稱，沒有學者不重視達爾文 誕生200周年，「現在是時候讓教廷嚴格及客觀審視達爾文了」。

宗座額我略大學下月將舉辦紀念達爾文發表《物種起源論》150周年國際研討會，這被視為宗教與科學關係的里程碑。教廷新聞辦公室表示，研討會將對達爾文的貢獻作「重要評價」，並且從基督教信仰的角度考察進化論。

Valentine Kiss

I don't know how much excitement that the Valentine Day will bring to normal people, but I am sure the approaching of this day does drive someone crazy.

Today, when I was walking towards the TST MTR station, a handsome foreigner talked to me.

Handsome Guy (smile): "Can you give me your name?"

Little Bottle (OK, this guy is handsome and it is no harm to give him my name): "Betty"

Handsome Guy: "Is Hang Seng Bank down stairs?"

Little Bottle : "Yup, down stairs and go straight"

Handsome Guy: "Can you walk along with me?"

Little Bottle : "Um........I have to meet my friends"

Handsome Guy: "Oh, you have a date to your friend"

Little Bottle : "Yup."

Handsome Guy: "Can you give me a Valentine Kiss?"

Little Bottle (too shock to response) : ".............."

Handsome Guy: "Do you know what's a Valentine Kiss? Could I show you?"

Little Bottle : "Oh, no...."

意國女植物人被切斷餵食逝世

2009-02-11

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)在意大利觸發一場憲制危機、連梵蒂岡教廷也介入的女植物人安樂死個案，女主角恩格拉羅（Eluana Englaro）上周五開始被切斷餵食後，終於延至周一晚死亡。總理貝盧斯科尼原尋求參議院緊急立法，以阻止恩格拉羅安樂死，也得到教宗本篤十六世的支 持，但來不及等待緊急法案通過，恩格拉羅已撒手塵寰。

三十八歲的恩格拉羅於一九九二年遇上嚴重車禍後，一直處於植物人的昏睡狀態。正當參議院還在為恩格拉羅的案件爭拗，辯論是否要強逼持續餵食之際，上周五開始被醫生切斷餵食的恩格拉羅，到了周一晚終於死亡。

參院所有議員為她默哀一分鐘，右翼參議員夸利亞雷洛發出怒吼，指恩格拉羅是被謀殺的，接着其他反對派議員也高喊「兇手！兇手！」的口號。

總理貝盧斯科尼亦表示深切哀痛及遺憾，但他仍然推動立法，反對安樂死。梵蒂岡衞生部長巴拉甘也指恩格拉羅的死亡是一種罪行。根據意大利法例，安樂死屬違法，但病人有權拒絕接受治療。

我一向赞成安乐死, 一个人最重要是思想精神, 勉强维持肉体的运作, 但已经失去思考或者表达能力, 这样做人是无意义了. 安乐死是基于人道立场, 为了减轻病人痛苦而让他作出对人生的选择.

现在这个女人死了, 高呼「兇手！兇手！」的参议员, 有几多会为这个女病人伤心流泪? 十年八年后, 还有多少站在道德高地的宗教人士, 会关怀死者的家人, 会悼念死者? 或者, 记得这女人的名字?

意大利总理是因为受国民/宗教压力而作出阻拦. 我敢说, 大部分人反对切斷Eluana餵食的目的, 并非为女病人或其家人的利益作出发点. 他们简单一句「兇手！」, 就要让女病人继续漫长痛苦的人生, 让病人的亲人无了期地悲痛. 假设, 病人的父母年事已高, 无法再看顾女儿, 这些反对安乐死, 立心让病人继续维持无意识的生命的人们, 他们又会对这么一倶活尸有什么样的实际行动? 会每天探望这女病人吗? 还是把责任丢给医护人员?

LIE TO ME

I have just watched 3 episodes of this drama, and it is compelling. I have read a book namely, How To Read A Person Like A Book, which coincides with the drama's theme. Although I am interested in studying people's behaviour, I am not gifted in this aspect. I am used to overlook the details and that's why I am still easy to be cheated. Sometimes, when emotions overwhelm my sense, I will believe in what I want to believe instead of the truth. That's also the cause of my ill judgements in the daily life.

I know my weakness perfectly and I am trying hard to overcome that.

20 things I can think of within 5 minutes using my first name's initial.

Rules:
It's harder than it looks! Copy to your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag twenty people.
Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real...nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can't use your name for the boy/girl name question.

1. What is your name : Betty

2. A four Letter Word : Best

3. A boy's Name : Bryan

4. A girl's Name : Bessie

5. An occupation : Bartender

6. A color : Brown

7. Something you'll wear : Bra

8. Something you'll do : Bullshit

9. A food : Bread

10. Something found in the bathroom : Baby oil

11. A place : Berlin

12. A reason for being late : Bath

13. Something you'd shout : Better fuck off

14. A movie title : Beauty and the Beast

15. Something you drink : Bloodymary

16. A musical group : Beyond

17. An animal : Bird

18. A street name : Baker street

19. A type of car : Benz

20. The title of a song : Because I love you

Doubt

This movie is not in vogue, the actors and actresses are neither handsome nor charming, so I guess not many friends of mine are interested in it. However, I was attracted by the storyline, I went to AMC to watch it on my own.

Extract of the storyline is as follows:
"It's 1964, St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Academy Award® winner Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline. The winds of political change are sweeping through the community, and indeed, the school has just accepted its first black student, Donald Miller. But when Sister James (Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams), a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius her guilt-inducing suspicion that Father Flynn is paying too much personal attention to Donald, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth and to expunge Flynn from the school. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequence."

In one of the summons, Father Flynn's preach touched me. "A person who takes a pillow to the roof, cut it into half, what will happen? All feathers spread out, if you want to pick them up, can you do it? No, you can't. And that is 'Gossip'. " We should be careful not to spread unfounded rumors and destroyed ones' reputation.

Sister Aloysius Beauvier reminded me a sister in my secondary school, obstinate and unkind. She guarded the school like a prison just to fulfill her own vanity. I could not feel love from sister and none from God either, if God does choose her to be his messenger. I was so lucky that I could finally escape from her control after 7 years of torment.

Why I hated the sister so much? I have a reason. There was an accident in a physical lesson when I was Secondary One. The teacher instructed us to run all together. A friend stepped on my leg unintentionally and I fell down when I was running in full speed. My mouth crashed on the ground, 3 teeth were broken and skin torn apart. I knew that it was just an accident and I did not blame anyone. However, the sister accused that it was my own fault and forced me to admit it. Her argument was that all students were intact but why me? Why it was only me falling down? I was an innocent and inexperience girl at that time, so I did not know how to confront her. The combination of my feeling was anger, fear and being insulted. The pain she put on me by her words far outweighed the physical pain I suffered from the accident. I could not forget how cruel she had treated me, her words were carved in my mind. When I grew up, I realised that her purpose of saying that was just to get away from any responsibilities of my accident. I hated her more and more. Stabbing a knife to somebody's heart in order to protect her own interest, that was the true colors of the sister.

拾回来的家具

这些家具统统都是七年前刚买楼时家父拾回来凑合着用的, 结果无穿无烂就一直用到现在.

《清茶淺爵》 爵士樂導賞課程

在黑人的BLOG里面得知, 原来香港有间 JCCAC 分租给不同的艺术家搞创意艺术. JCCAC 位于石硤尾, 这个地方与我甚有渊源, 是我待了七个寒暑的地方. 我的母校正正就是在石硤尾, 我帮母校改的花名是「吸血会弱智死人书院」.

当年这所女校算得上校风纯朴, 一些行为略有偏差的同学中三或之前就被踢出校, 成绩稍微欠竞争力(当年有同学会考23分也回不来读理科班) 也在中五时被筛走了, 剩下的即使有点跳皮, 外人看来也是品学兼优的传统学生, 闹不出什么惊天鬼泣的事.

我是学内所余无几的反叛分子. 表面上还勉强算是尊师重道, 勤劳学习的学生. 当然私底下替学校/校长/主任/老师改花名之类无伤大雅的事, 是少不免. 基本上除了上课魂游四海, 打磕睡, 吃零食, 饮汽水, 在桌下翻金庸小说, 偶然挑战老师的 model answer 之外, 并无行差踏错, 做出太出格的事, 而且成绩还混得过去.

在校内操行一般的我, 因为深得某些老师的喜爱, 中六时竟然让我当上风纪. 自此灵牙利齿更是略為收敛, 不愿意得罪其他老师, 辜负了推荐我做风纪老师的厚爱.

我在石硤尾的历史说完了, 言归正转, 今日我从游故地, 参加了《清茶淺爵》 爵士樂導賞課程.

我本身对音乐毫无认识, 别说 Jazz, Classic 这些「深奥」的音乐, 连流行曲最近也很少听. 不过正由于什么都不懂, 所以对于这个课程反而有兴趣. 将来喜欢不喜欢Jazz 是一回事, 去了起码会知道什么是Jazz.

听了第一课, 感觉良好, 老师很卖力地用浅白的语言解释 Jazz 和它的历史背景. 有大量的音乐例子作辅导, 看得出老师是很有 heart 去推动 Jazz 文化的人.

有点可惜的是场地的设施不足, 用来讲解 Jazz 的 Powerpoint及VCD, 只用19" LCD monitor 播放, 尽管场内不大, 但其实很难看得清楚. 另外, 因为街外有装修工程, 所以对上课造成了一定的滋扰.

尽管如此, 上课时老师和学生交流, 有说有笑, 气氛轻松. 所以这个活动还是很值得去的.

整个课程4堂课. 现在还会接受 walk-in 报名, 大家喜欢的话, 可以只上一堂 (会员价每堂: HK$250; 非会员价每堂 HK$300), 或者报读余下的三堂亦可. 由于地点是一个茶室, 所以供应的中国茶及点心都几别致.
