The Banquet . 夜宴

凶煞之夜，厉帝大摆贺宴。 　　

婉后献上了毒酒，青女献上了歌舞。 　　

他的谋臣，觊觎着王位，静观其变。 　　

这座旷世的宫廷里，权力与欲望的争夺已然拉开序幕。 　　

那曲关于寂寞的歌，让死亡也懂了爱。 　　

于是曲终人散时，王子握住了仇敌含毒的宝剑，君王将他的荣誉和生命都归还于殿前。 　　

那么，仅剩的那条茜素红呢？ 　　

还是她早已化作欲望，吞没了一切。

Inspired by the Shakespearean play "HAMLET", The Banquet unfolds a story about power struggle in the royal court, which eventually climaxes at a night banquet.

Young Empress Wan, who used to be in love with Prince Wu Luan, is now his stepmother. Cunning Emperor's brother Li comes to throne, and see Wu Luan who's now living away from the palace indulging himself in arts, a great threat to his power. He sends assassins to kill the prince but the mission fails. The prince returns to palace and meet the Empress who is newly married to Li. Emperor decides to host a banquet, but everyone has a hidden agenda when they attend ...

Have you ever wonder how Beijing 2008 got that symbol?

Received an em@il from a friend today and I really have a good laugh on this。。。haha

集体记忆

第一次在香港杂志接触这个名词时只觉新鲜。咱们一直都说语文应该是活的，它应该随着时代的变迁而成长或不断的创新，比如说，集体回忆是香港媒体创立的特有名词，意思是说大家共同的回忆。何谓大家共同拥有的回忆，就是你我他所熟悉的事物。

我愿意

每每听王菲唱出“思念是一种很玄的东西。。。”我心总有牵挂。玄就玄在这里，愈想放下思念，它愈泛滥。。。从前到现在，月亮始终没变，但是思念依然存在。谢谢你在我的生命中出现。中秋节快乐。

MATTA FAIR 2007

MATTA旅游展销会终于曲终人散了。想起我以前在这行的时候，为了这个展销会通宵达旦的工作，为的只是这个展销会。完毕的感觉宛如高潮后的虚脱。但。。。是喜悦的。哈哈。。。

瞳をとじて(輕閉雙眼)

瞳をとじて 作詞：平井堅　作曲：平井堅　編曲：亀田誠治

朝目覚める度に 君の抜け殻が横にいる ぬくもりを感じた いつもの背中が冷たい 苦笑いをやめて 重いカーテンを開けよう 眩しすぎる朝日　僕と毎日の追いかけっこだ あの日　見せた泣き顔 涙照らす夕陽　肩のぬくもり 消し去ろうと願う度に 心が 體が 君を覚えている Your love forever 瞳をとじて 君を描くよ それだけでいい たとえ季節が 僕の心を 置き去りにしても いつかは君のこと なにも感じなくなるのかな 今の痛み抱いて 眠る方がまだ いいかな あの日　見てた星空　願いかけて 二人探した光は 瞬く間に消えてくのに 心は 體は 君で輝いてる I wish forever 瞳をとじて 君を描くよ それしか出来ない たとえ世界が 僕を残して 過ぎ去ろうとしても Your love forever 瞳をとじて 君を描くよ それだけでいい たとえ季節が 僕を残して 色を変えようとも 記憶の中に君を探すよ それだけでいい なくしたものを 越える強さを 君がくれたから 君がくれたから

周末，我拿出摆了许久的日剧《在世界的中心呼唤爱》来看。是晚，我边吃着公仔面边看日剧，不看则已，一看欲罢不能。喜欢故事中的感动片刻，没有“杀你干妈，烧你全家”勾心斗角，好像生命永远都有遗憾似的，就算是遗憾也是美的。你说呢？

HaHa, want more...

I'm a plastic bag

Message from 小林方正
I'm a plactic bag. BUT, I don't chose to be one. If you key-in PLASTIC on wikipedia, you'll find this explanation of PLASTIC.
Plastics are polymers: long chains of atoms bonded to one another. Common thermoplastics range from 20,000 to 500,000 in molecular weight, while thermosets are assumed to have infinite molecular weight. These chains are made up of many repeating molecular units, known as "repeat units", derived from "monomers"; each polymer chain will have several 1000's of repeat units. The vast majority of plastics are composed of polymers of carbon and hydrogen alone or with oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine or sulfur in the backbone. (Some of commercial interest are silicon based.) The backbone is that part of the chain on the main "path" linking a large number of repeat units together. To vary the properties of plastics, both the repeat unit with different molecular groups "hanging" or "pendant" from the backbone, (usually they are "hung" as part of the monomers before linking monomers together to form the polymer chain). This customization by repeat unit's molecular structure has allowed plastics to become such an indispensable part of twenty first-century life by fine tuning the properties of the polymer.

塑胶是人所发明的。然而人类却不懂得去珍惜利用，却硬要说它不环保！这大概就是人类的劣根性，把责任都推卸到了其他的身上！

一只塑胶袋的一生尽职尽责完成了它的使命，却被人们慵懒地随意地抛弃了。

I'm NOT A Plastic bag

Message from Anya Hindmarch
"When I was first approached with this idea, it gave me the chills. It seemed so important. The thing that struck me was that when I started working at 18 years old in the late Eighties, I remember drinking double espressos and smoking Marlboro lights and working all day and night. I remember the cool young girls I started employing arriving with their yoga mats and pomegranate seeds and their plants on their desk for oxygen and me thinking it was all a bit ‘knit your own yoghurt’. But of course the reality is that now we all realise the importance of looking after your health, what you eat and what you do. It was these cool, fashionable influences that helped it become trendy."

“The bag project all started two years ago when a man called David Robinson approached me. David - who is a very good man – runs a global social change network called We Are What We Do. They are a fantastic movement who try to inspire people to use their everyday actions to change the world. He is very much of the belief that if everyone makes a small change and does their bit it can actually amount to making a big difference.I just loved the simplicity of that and I agree with it. The first thing that they did was publish a book, which was done in a really upbeat, unworthy way, called ‘How to Change the World for a Fiver,’ and it was very popular - organizations really embraced it and gave it out to their employees. It started with fifty actions that anyone could do to help - things like ‘smile at old people because they know lots of good stuff’ and ‘turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth.’But the first action was ‘decline plastic bags whenever possible.’ We Are What We Do came to see us because they were very keen to take the success of the book into a project.I was enamored with the idea because I do believe there is so much wasted packaging - although I’m far from perfect myself. But secondly I thought they were really good people and it was a really exciting project to try and highlight - it’s such an easy thing to do. We designed the bag as it’s big and easy and great for groceries, but will probably be used as a school bag or a gym bag. I use mine everyday as a tote bag bringing stuff from home.
“There’s a lot to be said for plastic for sure, but on a recent shopping trip I refused nine plastic bags as I could put things directly into my cotton one - and that’s amazing.If it makes people rethink their behaviour and perhaps makes the supermarkets rethink their solutions then it’s achieved something as far as I’m concerned."

“What’s really exciting is the reaction from people. “I’ve literally had letters from models, film stars, politicians and even Prince Charles yesterday, all saying ‘fantastic, well done, we all

support it and we’re right behind it."

“I’m not the greenest person around, I drive a diesel car (I have five children) but the point is that ‘we are what we do’ and if we all

do a little thing then we’ll solve the damage, we’ll stop making it worse. And it really doesn’t take you long to rethink the way you behave."

HOLLYWOOD 是个梦工厂，各式各样真真假假的众生相在镜头前化为一幕幕的电影经典，无论是角色造型，故事桥段，场面阵容，HOLLYWOOD 从来没有叫观众失望。难怪年复一年她依然散发异彩，令人目眩着迷。
水银灯亮起了，现实和虚幻交错一起，叫人已分不清界限。水银灯以外，一切与 HOLLYWOOD有关的人与事带着如梦似幻的色彩，甚至于比电影更令人匪夷所思。

FIND ME

This song "FIND ME" by David GATES was strongly recommended by my sister, LINDA, lately. I was touched after I'd listen to it and wish to share with you guys.

最令我感动的是如果有一天我比你先离开这个世界，你要记住，当你来的时候，要来找我。

FIND ME / David GATES
The skies are not as blue, when you're not with me
The stars, they never seem to shine as bright
And the hours crack like days across the ages
And a year or two pass by with every night.
It makes me know if i should ever leave this world before you do
When you follow you must promise, cross your heart and promise to

(Chorus)
Find me...look hard, and dont stop, I'll be waiting 'till then
Dont sleep, and dont eat 'till I'm back, back in your arms again
I dont wanna have to spend all my forever without you.
Just knowing that your out there somewhere too.
So darlin...please I'm begging you on bended knee...
Find me...

I've tried to tell this world how much i love you.
But they dont understand how deep it goes.
And i can't even find the words to tell you
So I'm the only one who really knows.
And though we have our times together, I am always wanting more
So if we get separated wont you do just like before and

(Chorus 2)
Find me...look hard and dont stop, I'll be waiting 'till then
Dont sleep, and dont eat 'till I'm back, back in your arms again
Through a hundred million faces you will see me shinning through.
'Cause I'll glow when you come close , I always do.
So darlin' please im begging you on bended knee..
We can share our love through all eternity
'Cause with you is all i ever wanna be......
Find me

年轻真好

望着一张张年轻的脸孔，似乎都拥有一颗热情、活力四射的心，充满了青春的活力。

因为年轻，我们不用上帝给自己的脸再造一张脸；不用关心什么霜滋润什么霜去皱。
因为年轻，我们会好心办坏事；会把老人们的劝告当做耳边风。
因为年轻，偶尔会把梦做得过于美丽；但是就是因为年轻，我们还可以在梦醒时大哭一场。

所有一切，都是因为年轻。。。

这个世界是你们的，也是我们的，但是归根究底是你们的。年轻人朝气蓬勃，正是兴旺时期，就好像早晨的太阳。希望就寄托在你们身上。
世界是属于你们的。

因为年轻，所以有朝一日也会不年轻。好好珍惜。

原来穿着一双比自己的脚板大的鞋是不舒服。。。

Sean GHAZI

I bought this album through the recommendation of a cafe crew of SAN FRANSCISCO COFFEE. It's REALLY my cup of tea and I like it very much.

The Album by Sean GHAZI is a mnemonic tribute to Malaysia's musical past, with numerous cover versions of classic hits by celebrated legends such as P.Ramlee and Sudirman. Most of the numbers in the album are in Bahasa Malaysia, whith a few English songs thrown in.

韩国洛山寺镇海观世音

在韩国洛山寺内，有一座坐落山坡上的观世音菩萨，从容的远眺东海，怡然自得，从不为人世间声音动容。那天我站在那儿，想到了一个朋友的短信。

为了让你我在最美的时刻相遇，
我在菩萨面前求了五百年; 我恳求菩萨让我们结一段情缘，
菩萨把我变成一颗树，长在你必经的路边。
阳光下我慎重的开满花朵，朵朵都是我前世的企盼。

I wrote down my wishes on this piece of paper and tied it on a robe. WHAT wishes?

It'll always ramain untold in my heart.

其实那天早上我的心情平和。我也想起前一阵子因为有个朋友用了《鹤蚌相争，渔翁得利》的企图心形容我的一个动作。令我难过了一阵子，这句话令我的思绪一直起伏不定，直至我见到了一尊观世音菩萨，端详他的怡然自得，从不为人世间声音动容令我感到无地自容，渺小。那天，我站在韩国洛山寺镇海观世音菩萨前忏悔，心中感恩佛祖加持，使我得以开悟。得以平和心面对人世间。得以放下而怡然自得。

今天得一智者提点，“我们都总以自我为中心，就连对人好都要用自己的那一套标准，完全把对方的需要忽略了。其实我们都渺小，就连对人好的方式都常用错了。”

Everyone has a first LOVE story to tell。。。

电影MUKHSiN叙述着一个很生活化，平凡但深切，温柔且动人的爱情故事。没有惊天动地的爱情经历，也没有直接露骨的爱情告白。一切有如小桥流水，细腻得令人感动的小城故事。
爱情 ~ 无论物换星移，时间更选; 爱，永不止息。

蓝色生死恋

MY days once ended with sunrise...

每每乘搭KL Monorail经过Concord Hotel（前美轮酒店）时，我都会把目光投视在Melting Pot里面，最近发觉她大整修了，焕然一新。在丽的商业电台任职DJ时，那个时候常常和一班志同道合的电台同事三更半夜在这夜宵兼聊天（通常都在周末的晚上）。

东方日报

我有几个朋友在东方日报上班. 东方日报办公室的地点离我office的不远, 近水楼台的关系, 我们偶尔相约食lunch, 众所皆知, 当初东方日报并不顺利诞生, 被同业排挤到今天在7-11, mynews.com都能见其踪迹, 这未曾不是一件好事. 有些朋友好有使命感大喊口号说:"为了避免马来西亚的中文媒体出现"一言堂"的局面, 大家要捍卫新闻自由. 大家要多多支持东方日报"口号喊得响当当的. 其实市井小民如你我也真的搞不懂什么何为新闻自由.
话说有一天, 我发现我妈买了一份东方日报来看. 在好奇心的驱使下, 于是乎,
"妈, 东方日报好看吗? 你今天怎么会舍南洋而买东方呢?"我问.
"哦, 那是因为东方日报较难见到, 所以见到就买. 南洋星洲到处都在卖."我妈答道. 原因干净利落, 就是那么简单.

哈, 这个答案宛如当头棒喝, 真是一言惊醒梦中人. 很多时很多事都被复杂化, 你说呢?

Long Vacation

在漆黑的夜空中，常被忽略的就是那为了让星星闪亮而存在的黑暗。

瀨名秀俊（木村拓哉 飾）

配角永远不会被聚光灯照到，永远不是摄影机所追逐的目标。

葉山南（山口智子 飾）

想忘记却又想起，越想忘记却越更想起，应该忘记更加想起。。。
奧澤涼子（松隆子 飾）

美丽的人总是令人眼前一亮。拥抱的时候犹如要窒息般。一松一紧间，那么的令人心神不宁。

冰室留美子（りょう 飾）

爱情在很多时候是一种持续性的错过时间。也有可能是一种永远的单恋。
小石川桃子（稻森泉 飾）

Long Vacation

总有不顺利的时候，就当作天赐的长假。不必勉强冲刺，不必紧张，不必努力加油，一切顺其自然，然后就会好转。大概会吧！

1997年我接触了日本电视剧＂悠长假期＂之后，这出日剧唤醒了我内心对爱情的憧憬. 不过，我也只是想想而已...在今年的VALENTINE，我突然想起...里面的一些佳句.
遇到失意的時侯，
就把他當作是上天賜給您的一個假期……
一個悠長的假期吧！
別擔心……Don't Worry，Be Happy 一切都會轉好的．
我们都只看到夜空中闪亮的星星，我们从没想过星星旁边的黑暗，没有黑暗的存在，我们那留意到星星呢?
AISTERU, MINASAN

1998年，我寄出了几张VALENTINECARDS。写道:
这是1998年寄出的第3张Valentine Card，也是今年最后一张。

终于在不舍得的心情之下把“悠长假期”看完。之前不曾想过会喜欢，结果在没有防备之下，她的IMPACT如同海潮般的汹涌澎湃，拍击那沉睡的，早已尘封的心，唤醒那份对爱情的瞳憬。。。

希望你能找到心中所爱。

爱情万岁。 Happy Valentine

树欲静而风不息

今年，似乎很多议题都被膨胀，而且种族色彩非常浓烈。好像大家都是在因为议题而生活。于是乎大家心中都形成一團火，愈演愈激烈。而且很多时候莫名其妙的被扯入其中。有时候总觉大家對社會與其擔心，不如化作信心，更多时候需要付出一份愛心。很多時候我們都無法以肉眼看見真相，真理只能用心去體會。世間的分歧，很多時候只是彼此認知的不足。只要多多交流，就不會胡思亂想了。少點認"色", 多點認識。

上海故事

我父親出生在新中國成立2年后的1951年的桐乡市北端的烏鎮。他8岁的时候，由于1958年的大跃进和人民公社化运动，中国经济遭到严重破坏，加上三年自然灾害，广大人民的生活状况不断下降，饥荒严重，食品紧缺。1960年至1963年期间，他束紧腰带饿着肚皮与广大人民过了3年。

1966年正值父亲青春期，他莫名其妙的被卷入，再一次经历了另一个大时代，文化大革命爆发了。在那个疯狂的年代，大家似乎都像出自一个倒模，全部都是同一个表情。丧失了理智，也失去了自我。
父亲共有8个兄弟姐妹。在那个农业社会，男丁若是要出人头地，就得加入军队当兵。為的只是國家在你家門前釘上一塊寫著“光榮之家”的木板，一塊象徵著安定的生活的木板。不然的话，命运就像其他的乡亲父老般永远在田地里翻耕。父亲决定加入解放军，把青春献给了祖国的防卫事业。

1976年，4人帮被捕。文化大革命终于结束了。也生下了我。

1979年，中国中央政府开始鼓吹计划生育。为了响应中央政府的政策，再加上父亲贵为共产党党员，父亲与母亲决定把老二拿掉（我母亲当时已怀孕）。没几，中国一胎政策终于落实至今。

父亲40岁时，逐渐步入中年的他离开部队加入国营企业。没几年，中国的经济经历了一场惊天动地的改革。改革开放使得国营企业成千上万的公务员下岗。父亲再一次卷入一场革命。

他拿着国家发给他那一丁点儿的赔偿，想到距离法定的退休年龄（60岁）还有整整20年的保险金要偿还，想到退休时，可能连退休金也拿不到。他开始忧郁。

后来朱镕基上台，宣布了前部队队员可提前在55岁退休。

2006年父亲退休了。

那天，他抱着我那刚满周岁的儿子，语重心长的说“乖孙儿，爷爷终于退休了。”

这是最近我在上海听来的一则故事。
