永远怀念张国荣。。。

TimeOut Kuala Lumpur

TimeOut Kuala Lumpur出版了。
自从《全球一体化 Globalisation》概念被提出后，全球许多大都会都出现了同类型的东西。比如说坊间众多的名牌服饰店 Louis Vuitton，G U C C I，CHANEL，etc。。。美式的连锁快餐厅 McDonalds，KFC，Burger King，etc。。。还有Cafe的STARBUCKS COFFEE，就连杂志也出现了一体化的局面，什么Bazaar, COMOSPOLITAN，etc。。。当然也别忘了这本Time Out Kuala Lumpur。所以现今无论你身在这个世界的哪一个大城市都好，你必能见到熟口熟面的东西，一点惊喜都没有。就像7-ELEVEN的标语《梗有一间在你左近》。不过，倒是TimeOut的出版令我想起一段往事。

话说十多年前，有一朋友给我弄到了一本TimeOut London，那个时候，我细心阅读这本充满了琳琅满目的生活资讯杂志，对于生活在London的居民羡慕不已。

想不到时至今日，咱们KL也有了TimeOut。但是我却寻不会当年的那种曈憬。。。

而且我也想起当年把这本杂志替我弄到手的那个朋友，好几年没见他了。很想知道的是。。。

他近年生活还好吗？

WHAT WENT WRONG?

Read about 2 news reports for the same issue lately. BUT, how come the feeling arised was so different after reading it? WHAT WENT WRONG?
Hadi issues warning

by the STAR MALAYSIA
KOTA BARU: PAS will ban any entertainment deemed by the Islamist party to be negative in states it rules.
Party president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang said if the entertainment was deemed to have negative elements, then it should be banned.
Asked about outlets serving and selling liquor, such as the duty-free port in Langkawi, Abdul Hadi said the party would study what was allowed by all religions.

Abdul Hadi: What is banned by all religions, we will follow likewise.“What is banned by all religions, we will follow likewise,” he said after chairing the party’s management steering committee meeting here.
PAS, which retained Kelantan and won Kedah, will also head the state government in Perak although the party won only six seats in the state while DAP won 18 and PKR, seven.
Abdul Hadi confirmed that PAS would help form the state government in Selangor, where it won eight seats. PKR won 15 seats and DAP 13.
The party also won one seat in Penang, where DAP and PKR garnered 19 and 9 seats respectively.
Among the initial policies it would undertake included proposing for two non-Muslims to be part of the Kedah state exco line-up as gratitude to the support given by the non-bumiputra communities.
“Freedom of religion will be allowed,” he said, adding that the hudud criminal procedure code for Muslim could be implemented if it was in line with the state constitutions.
Abdul Hadi also said that PAS would review all the proposed corridor development projects announced earlier by the Federal Government.
On the secret of the Opposition’s historic capture of four states besides PAS successfully defending Kelantan, Abdul Hadi said the party received support from many voters in urban areas, adding that support for the Opposition was based on the information flow generated from the Internet.

M'sia's opposition Islamic party pledges to respect minority rights

by the STRAITS TIMES SINGAPORE
KOTA BHARU - MALAYSIA'S Islamic opposition party said on Sunday it has no plans to immediately shut down nightclubs and gambling dens, or ban alcohol in a northern state where it won elections.
The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, or PAS, also pledged to respect ethnic minority rights and said it would not unilaterally implement strict Islamic rules.
PAS retained its stronghold in northeast Kelantan state and wrested control of mainly Muslim Kedah state from Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's coalition in Saturday's general elections.
An Islamic cleric, Azizan Abdul Razak, 63, was named to lead the government in Kedah, said PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
He said Mr Azizan will not impose Islamic laws of the kind in force in Kelantan, including segregation of sexes in public places and a ban on gambling, alcohol, cinemas and nightclubs. Such places flourish in Langkawi, a popular tourist resort island in Kedah state.
He said PAS would consult its two political allies - the Chinese-based Democratic Action Party or DAP and the multiracial People's Justice Party known by its Malay acronym PKR - before implementing such rules. He said PAS will also seek feedback from the local community.
'We will first discuss with our non-Muslim friends. We all have different faiths. Whatever activities that are allowed by other religions, even though they are banned in Islam, we cannot disturb. That is their right,' he told reporters.
'We will ensure freedom of religion, freedom of worship and the right to carry out their daily affairs,' he said.
PAS, the DAP and PKR captured three other states - Perak, Penang and Selangor - which have large ethnic Chinese and Indian populations.
Penang, which is the country's only Chinese-majority state, will be governed by the DAP. Mr Hadi said the three parties were still deciding who would lead Perak and Selangor.
PAS, which has ruled Kelantan since 1990, had alienated ethnic minorities and liberal-thinking Muslims with its call for a hardline theocratic state in the past. An earlier cooperation with the DAP collapsed over its Islamic agenda. But PAS dropped its call for a theocratic state in these elections and toned down its Islamic rhetoric.
Malay Muslims make up about 60 per cent of Malaysia's 27 million people, while Chinese and Indians jointly account for about a third of the population.
The opposition gains are seen as a protest vote against Mr Abdullah's government amid complaints over the rising cost of living, growing crime and religious and racial tensions.
Mr Hadi attributed the opposition's strong gains - which eroded the ruling coalition's two-thirds parliamentary majority for the first time in four decades - to support from Chinese and Indians in urban areas.
'We praise Allah for our victory,' he said. 'It shows that Malaysians want a development policy that is fair and does not lead to abuses. We will support development that is beneficial for the people but we will reject corruption, cronyism and nepotism.'

DIDO "Thank You"

My tea's gone cold,
I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain louds up my window
And i can't see at all
And even if i could it'd all be grey,
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad


I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if i'm there, they'll all imply that i might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last
And I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel
And all i see is you and even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue because you're near me and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
Is having the best day of my life

“ Thank You ”出自 Dido 1999年的专辑“No Angel”。

有时候，人会觉得一切都完了，阳光不再灿烂，绿树不再青葱，花儿不再美丽，歌声不再悦耳，顿觉我生何趣，万念俱灰。这时候，人最迫切需要的是一种单独的信念，即---不要紧，没关系，只当生活刚刚开始，不回头，朝前望，一切都还来得及。在挫折失败面前仍然微笑生活。

MATTA Fair 14 - 16 Mar 2008

破旧迎新，迎接新希望。。。PilihanRaya ke 12

马来西亚2008年3月8日的大选终于尘埃落定。展现的是一个全新的权力制衡局面。虽说联邦政府依然由国阵BN执政，但是已经失去了2/3的多数席(MAJORITY)，而且吉兰丹KELANTAN依然攻不下，还输掉了槟城P.PINANG，吉打KEDAH，霹雳PERAK，雪兰莪SELANGOR的州政府的执政权。这个局面的诞生也印证了马来西亚的民主是存在的。


之前的竞选拉票活动, 人身攻击，煽动种族情绪的言论已告一段落。我一向对打种族主义牌的政党SAY NO，说什么国阵政府欺压华人，什么如果输了给反对党，马来人将丧失了主权等等具恐吓性的煽动性的言论,都令我觉得厌倦。

前几个晚上，我在吉隆坡巧遇ANWAR主讲的群众大会。其中一段令我印象深刻。
《Ini bukan masalah kaum Melayu, Cina, India dan lain lain. Ini adalah masalah semua RAKYAT MALAYSIA。》此话说完，除了赢得全场的欢呼声，and it’d won my heart too。说真的，我在这片土地上生活了这么多年，很厌倦那些区分种族的言论和条例。所以对于这次大选，总觉得人民公正党(PKR)的表现宛如一股清流。

撇开严肃性的话题不说，倒是发生了一件“趣”事。

话说有一天，我妈从外头回来向我投诉说
“刚刚在茶室吃面时，有一uncle在那大发言论说咱们应该把票投给反对党，以让他们在国会上监督执政党。”
我妈是支持BN国民阵线的。轻描淡写的说“对不起，我支持国阵的。”此话一出惹得对方的不满，滔滔不绝的说什么马华的不是。一直以来，由于很多华人总是觉得华人的权益是被马华当掉的。所以华人支持国阵是一项禁忌。
于是我跟我妈说，“甭和他说，一切放在心上就行。”
我妈听了说，“为什么我要放心上？他可以光明正大的支持反对党，而我就得偷偷摸摸的支持国阵？”
此话一出对我来说犹如当头棒喝，我由衷的佩服我妈。

蔡琴的新不了情。。。

我打从80年开始就作了“抉择”喜欢蔡琴。而且家里除了我妈，就连我那两个不懂中文的姐妹也因此而对她的音乐熟悉，因为我常在家听她的歌。由Cassette的WALKMAN到CD的DISCMAN再到现在的MP3，我都听她的音乐。今晚的演唱会对我来说宛如被遗忘的时光，曾经熟悉的一切都一一浮现。

难得有情朗

《向世界出发》

闲在家里看了电视上一出少有的节目《向世界出发》，触动了思绪。

人打从出世那一刻起，欲念就开始产生，想喝奶。再大一点的时候，开始想爬想走。然后长大之后，想买车买洋房。然后很努力的往上爬，向目标迈进。欲念不断的膨胀，似乎变成所谓成功的动力。追求的过程有些人甚至丧失了自我，不择手段只求达到目标，成了欲念的奴隶。

欲念到底是动力抑或包袱？

聯合國的跨政府氣候變遷專家小組（IPCC）報告指出，人類的活動，包括土地利用、工業生產、城市化和生活型態，都排放大量溫室氣體（Greenhouse Gas），從而造成地球升溫。

地球升溫人類造成地球升溫的種種因素，超過90%是人類自己造成。

人類知道溫度上升會毀滅世界，但是，卻依照熱衷追求高排放的經濟成長模式，也習慣於高消耗的生活方式，樂此不疲，不會輕易放棄。

就好像一缸水裡的青蛙，水的溫度逐漸的升高，青蛙始終無動於衷，甚至愜意無比；直到溫度過了臨界點，它已經跳不出水缸，活活被煮死。

青蛙沒有意識到水溫上升，所以不會跳出水缸。人類呢？

美國和中國是世界兩大二氧化碳排放量最高的國家，在哥本哈根峰會上，不但無法攜手合作，反倒是針鋒相對，歸咎對方；在堅持本身利益的同時，要對方作出更大讓步。

哥本哈根大會沒有讓人類跳出水缸，大國之間相互扯後腿，逼使大家都留在水缸。

一紙“記錄在案”的氣候協議，只是同意減少排放溫室氣體，卻沒有制訂目標，也沒有執行方案。

窮國與島國皆大失所望。面對淹沒威脅的太平洋小島圖瓦盧代表說，這是對未來的背叛；非洲蘇丹的代表說，協議是判處非洲死刑，形同大屠殺。

救救我们的地球！！！

The 3rd LAW OF MOTION

The 3rd LAW OF MOTION乃是牛顿定律在维基百科找到这样的诠释《Whenever a particle A exerts a force on another particle B, B simultaneously exerts a force on A with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. The strong form of the law further postulates that these two forces act along the same line. This law is often simplified into the sentence "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"》

Christmas at HOME

It’s CHRISTMAS time。。。。

进入十二月份，城中广场的圣诞装饰逐一挂上，意味着It’s CHRISTMAS time。。。。

曾经有人问我一年之中最喜欢的是那个节日。虽然我不是基督教徒，但是我不假思索答道：《圣诞节》。也许有些朋友会认为出国过圣诞会好一点儿，可是我却不以为然。而且我更喜欢在KL与朋友度过。不需要一个白色的，更不需要狂欢的，只求一个温馨的圣诞。

《圣诞节》，你的心情准备好了吗？
