年復一年的新

來到零九年的第三百六十五天，回望過去，平平靜靜、安安穩穩，並沒多大的變遷。人所希冀的生活狀態，其實也不過如此這般而已！

人生無必要過得驚濤駭浪、高潮迭起，如坐過山車般的刺激；更無需事事與他人作比較；「各有前因莫羨人」，各人自作定然自受「因緣果報」，逃不過來。

能得平淡、安逸的生活，已值得興幸，實應感恩；不必再作強求，亦由不得自己去強求什麼。「千算萬算不如天算」，花盡心機到頭來全屬徒然。

「天道酬勤」，用了多少功，自有所應得的回報。同樣地，作了多少「惡」，自然就得承受相應的「果」。

就將明天作為新起點，努力『修練自己的心靈』；當發現它變得放任、狹窄時，就認真地對它說：『心，不許四處張望！不得散亂！』

來罷！同慶二零一零年的到臨。

有緣定能相會

上蒼待我真不薄，竟然可遇見你，而且更是在他工作的地方；原本一心只是拿東西給他，萬料不到你亦因事而到臨。雖然之前曾與你有兩面之緣，但卻沒有像今次來得親近。

你並沒有給人高高在上的感覺，而是親切地與身旁眾人交談；我鼓起勇氣上前向你問好，你微笑點頭，那一刻的喜悅，那一刻的感動，萬語千言亦難以形容，只能說一切都是值得的。

最後還有幸與你合照，並得到你所饋贈的紀念品，何其幸甚！

祝您 幸福、愉快、健康！

此刻應驗了「有緣千里能相會」；在於以那種形式而已！

“ The Butterfly Lovers” Golden Jubilee Charity Concert

Last night, I was invited by a friend to admit this charity concert. The objective is to raise funds for the “Szechwan 512 Earthquake”. It was held in HK City Hall.

The committee invited the writer of The Butterfly Lovers’ Concerto (梁祝協奏曲) － Mr. HE Zhan Hao (何占豪) as the conductor, Ms. SONG Fei (宋飛) to perform the Erhu (二胡) and Ms. Takako NISHIZAKI (西崎祟子) to perform the Violin (小提琴). Mr. HE wrote this famous and romantic concerto in 1959. Therefore, this year is the Golden Jubilee of it.

We dined in nearby café first. Then we walked to the destination. Our seats were quite good. Especially there was no audience at our back. We could enjoy the concert without disturbance. Each audience presented with a “Golden Jubilee booklet”. Around 8:00pm the concert was started.

It was fantastic. To be honestly, I like the Erhu version more than the Violin version. The tone of Erhu is full of hidden bitterness.

At the end of the concert, the master of ceremony announced that the three V.I.P. would sign for the first 50 audiences at the lobby. Luckily, we got their signatures with the Golden Jubilee booklet. About 11:00pm, we left the Hall satisfactorily.

Thank you my friend to offer such memorable chance for me.

廿載悠悠常思念，

故劍長留眾心頭！

想得太多

這數天，為平白錯過了一些機會而懊惱；怪自己優柔寡斷，怪自己缺乏自信，怪自己貪於安逸。

不過，若真的坐言起行，是否就代表一定有機會哩？堪嘆「形勢比人強」，事實終歸是事實，改變不來。

人－確實奇怪，總會為一些尚未發生的事情而擔憂，明知事實遲早都會來臨，而且彷似進入了倒數階段；理智上盡量訓練自己去接受、適應事實；情感上卻擔心、害怕「無常」一旦真的到訪，自己將情何以堪？又該如何自處？

或許真箇想太多了！

藉境練心

面對紛擾的世情，每天或多或小總會遇上不遂心的人、事、物，因而影響了心情；輕則愁眉苦臉，重則大動肝火，與人驟起衝突，傷了心時傷了身。

其實，我們大可將這些逆境及煩惱，看成是一種「逆增上緣」，藉此鍛鍊自已的心，不受外境影響了自己的心情。正所謂『萬法唯心造』，我們須學習以正向思維，去面對紅塵的種種橫逆；這樣，我們才能輕安自在地生活。

切記應『境隨心轉』，而不是心隨境轉啊！

聽笛

向來都有做運動的習慣；其實也不算什麼特選運動，只是在家附近的河濱漫步而已。

今天下午，如常的路徑行走，途中卻遇見一位正在吹奏笛子的人；當然，他並非為乞討而奏，純粹是為興趣罷！只見他背著途人，面向河道，用心的吹出悠揚樂韻。他技巧熟練，身旁並沒有任何曲譜，但曲曲皆非常動聽。

當時並沒有刻意停留欣賞，只是放慢了腳步，之後便繼續行程。約一小時後回程時，見他仍舊吹奏著，今次決定停下欣賞；恐防驚擾他，於是選了一個不太靠近的位置，還裝作在觀賞河景！他正在吹奏的是『四季痴情』，正式的名稱暫時想不起，音調非常淒美、動聽；當他吹奏完畢，真有向他報以掌聲的衝動。正祈待他的另一首樂曲之際，卻見他在收拾行裝離去，莫非他意識到有人正在「偷聽」而掃了他的雅興？唉！唯有若無其事地離開。

原來大師與我同途，靜悄悄的跟在他後面，隨後見他在一行走區內的小巴站候車，而我亦繼續回家的路程。

沿路在想，他究竟是一個什麼樣的人? 是位失意人，藉幽怨的笛聲來宣洩心中的愁緒？但為何要專誠坐車到別處吹奏呢？ 是退休人士？但應該未到這個年齡。
可笑的都是自己在空猜想；唯一毋庸置疑的是，他的確吹奏得很出色。

Deeply Sympathy for my best friend

My dear, do you know I am really worrying about you?

I wonder what made you changed your good temper? 「Marriage」is your dream. Unfortunately, when your dream came true, your life and mind became narrower. You seem never enjoy it. Of course, exceptional of your son.

Every time when I receive your call, you always tell me how hard your life is? How rude your husband’s family members are? Besides, you feel nervous about your son’s everything. You never satisfy with your husband. You blame him never give you a hand on domestic tasks or take care of your son’s assignments. On the other hand, do you know he needs to work hard to provide better life for his wife and son? Because of you, he struggles with the society everyday.

One day in June, you called me as usual complaining about everything. You said you argued with your mother-in-law. Honestly, as your real friend, I must tell you the truth that it was very impolite. She might disappointed with you. This would harm  your relationship.  I regret that you refused the truth. You angered with me and said our communication was lacked of harmony. You said if I place these theories in my past, my life can be changed. Dear, it really hurt me. I felt painful on your wordings.

After that, you don’t contact me. Even I gave you a call but you treated me cool. I shall not disturb you again. One day, when you understood the truth, and want to talk to me, you are most welcomed. I shall always standby for my dear friend.

俊尚？ 民亨？ 裴勇俊！

為了他，決定在家安裝電腦，為的是可更緊貼追蹤關於他的一切！

為了他，毅然報讀全無認識的韓語課程，為的是可聽懂他說的話，那怕只是簡單的句語！

為了他，克服了搭乘飛機的恐懼，作了一次韓國旅遊，為的是要親身遊歷劇集的拍攝場地，購買他的畫刊、照片、紀念品，及與他的廣告海報來個合照！

為了他，從網絡下載了百多張他的劇照，再拿去沖印，為的是那份拿著照片細看的實在感覺！

為了他，去逛「信和」；為了他，購買劇中他用的名牌袋，跟隨他在尾指配戴指環；為了他，托朋友的韓國友人購買劇中的「北極星」項鍊！

他就是裴勇俊 (BYJ)，『冬日戀歌－Winter Sonata』中的俊尚/民亨；喜歡他，是因為他親切的笑容、俊朗的外表；喜歡他，是因為他細膩的演技；更喜歡他，是因為他帶回遺失已久的感覺。

如今他已名成利就，卻添了商業氣味，對他的感覺亦已冷卻；但他確是影響我人生的其中一個傳奇人物。【사랑해요】

回家的路 (感人的廣告)

偶爾看到這段廣告，感同身受，不禁淚流滿面，想起了爸爸！

記得年幼生病時，爸爸便是會用他的單車，載我到墟市診治的。

後來在市區工作，早期仍居住在鄉郊，所以每晚放工，爸爸便會在巴士站等我，因穿著裙子的關係，而且四周環境又十分幽暗，所以並沒有像小時候般，乘坐「單車尾」，而爸爸亦只是推著單車，靜靜地與我步行約45分鐘回家，風雨無間。

不同的是，片段中的爸爸仍然康健，但我的爸爸已離去了十多年；衷心感謝爸爸！永遠懷念您！ (You are always on my mind.)

Mother’s Birthday

Last Sunday, we celebrated Mom’s birthday in a Chinese restaurant.  All members participated the party.  Therefore, we filled up two tables of 24 seats.  What a big family！


Before the dinner, one of my nieces bought her new camera for taking pictures with us. This camera is quite interesting.  It is not like the normal digital camera.  It needs to fill in some blank films first.  However, the films are in pieces with various cartoon patterns.  Then, we only need to wait for few minutes, the finished pictures will be appeared.  I think it's look like a toy for the adult kids more.  Anyway, it bought us lots of fun.

We enjoyed total 13 dishes.  However, we were almost full within 5-6 dishes, therefore, we decided to pack the remaining dishes to home.  We shared them subject to our own choices.

Mom was very happy in her birthday party.  She was not only enjoying the food but also the whole family could stay together to celebrate with her.  Wishing her always with good health and smile.

Dear Mom, Happy Birthday!

臥龍先生

深深迷上了他，是由一齣「三國演義」開始！
若要論述這部改編自名著的電視劇，恐力有不逮；只想談談要角之一的蜀相 － 諸葛孔明而已。

孔明先生早期歸隱田間，後得劉備三顧草廬，納為軍師，助其建基立業。期間每每顯出他捉智多謀、雄才偉略及能言善辯之才華；如以草船向曹操借箭，借東風而成就赤壁之戰，三氣周瑜等可見一斑。他不單具備武略，文才亦不相伯仲。

如此之賢人雅士，恐怕現今已蕩然無存了；稍微相似的可能只有周恩來、朱鎔基或溫家寶罷！(純屬個人見解)

演此角色的是國內著名演員 － 唐國強，他將諸葛亮從千多年前帶回現世，演技無懈可擊，舉手投足皆魅力非凡。此劇共有六十一集，現已播至三十多集，相信劇情會越加精彩。

【有線第一台，播出時間：13:00 及 23:00】

樹中現靈塔?

這是在一次郊遊時，無意中發現的奇特現象。樹中心如塔般的，其實是它的種子 。

之後重臨此地，見到「塔」已枯萎並墜落於地上；相信不久，新樹苗便會悠然而生！

Go shopping with mother

I accompany mother for shopping in the nearby shopping center today. As usual, we went to the restaurant for lunch first. Then we went directly to a department store to buy some food and daily amenities. We do this twice a month.

When I was young, I also went for shopping with mother. At that time, we lived in the countryside. Since the transportation had not as convenient as nowadays, we needed to walk 30-45 minutes to the market. We usually went on Sunday morning. When we arrived at the market place, mother took me to the small stalls for breakfast. Sometime we ate congee and sometime we ate noodles. I remembered both of them were delicious.

Then, we walk around the market for shopping. We mainly bought fresh food like pock and fishes. We were no need to buy vegetables and hens as we farm and feed them by ourselves. When we finished shopping, we walked another 30-45 minutes to go home. Although the journey was in distant, I enjoy it a lot.

As time pass, I treasure each time to go shopping with mother. I hope I could accompany her time by time.

To delete one name from MSN

Eventually, I did it few weeks ago. It seems very easy to press the “delete” button in a second. Indeed, it is full of complicated emotion.

With this action, it means you want to disconnect with the one completely. He was no longer your friend.

It’s really not easy to make such decision, however, if you have no choice and it seems more comfortable to both of us, I think I did it correctly.

The most important element in a relationship is “trust”. It needs time to build up. From the beginning to the end, you have no trust in me. Do you know I have the hard feeling on it? It is not the ordinary way to treat “a friend”. I totally disappointed with you. I gave up. I could not beg for a long-lasting relationship. All I need is to protect my dignity.

「快樂尋回犬」

這齣韓國電影，講的是哥哥、妹妹和一頭小狗的故事，非常煽情；有如日本動畫「再見螢火蟲」的真人版。

哥哥是曾演「愛，回家」的那位小童星 --- 俞承豪（Yoo Seung-Ho）；現時已是一位俊秀少年。 他在兩齣電影中都有特出表現，演技純真而自然，恰到好處。

個多小時裡，有一半以上時間是邊看邊抹眼淚的；明知故事全屬虛構，小演員與狗兒只是演戲而已，但就是看得令人同情、感動、心碎！

妹妹與小狗最終都「離開」了哥哥；可幸哥哥得回曾捨棄他的媽媽的愛。

期待俞承豪小朋友將來更出色的演出。

Perfect Couple

Yesterday, I have the chance to visit a blog. One of the articles is quite touching.

Although I knew none of you, I felt happily when I was reading your story. I want to leave comment to you but it seems not so suitable.

Finally, I decided to do it in here:

Hi, I am pleased to have the chance to read your important announcement and share your happiness. From your pictures, I could see a joyful perfect couple with beautiful engaging rings. I do know it is not easy to keep a special relationship for such a long period. Both of you are wonderful.

Congratulation！ Wishing you as sweet as honey forever.

偶然

偶然，就是那麼偶然，
讓我們並肩坐在一起，
唱一首我們的歌；
縱然不能長相聚，
也要長相憶，
天涯海角不能忘記，
我們的小秘密；
為什麼忘不了你？
為什麼惦記著你？
多少的時光溜走，
多少的記憶在心頭；
你悄悄的來，又悄悄的走，
留給我的只是一串串落漠的回憶！


偶然從網絡中，找到這首淡忘已久的歌曲；無限回憶驟湧心頭！
那時候，青蔥歲月，織夢年華；歌意中有你，也有我。

如今，物換星移，時光流逝；無論當時是何等執意於要惦記著對方，原來都只是如夢幻、泡影，如露亦如電而已！

倘若他朝有緣再相聯繫，唯望這歌，也能令你憶起我們的「毅菁」歲月！

窮在路邊無人問 .......

近來深深體會這句話之道理！

雖然是休息了一段頗長的日子，尚未至於斷炊斷糧，要求助於人；但已感受到「人情冷暖，世態炎涼。」

知道朋友將組飯局，只是隨意表示想參加；但朋友強調，他們的是昂貴飯局！

又有朋友，恐防我負擔不起唱K費用，而拒絕與我唱K！

更有朋友，在我從沒打算向他借貸時，卻先說：「將來千萬不可向他借錢。」

假若交朋結友，是取決於存款多寡，這已失去了作為「朋友」的意義；還稱得上是朋友嗎？
