鄭秀文's sharing《不可思議之生命價值再思》

我只想和您分享一些不可思議的事情!真不可思議?
一張一百元正的鈔票在教會奉獻時是多麼大的面額,但在行街購物時卻是如此的細小?真不可思議?
兩小時在教會過就好長,但看一套好戲就好短?真不可思議?
當禱告時要找一個字都好難,但與朋友傾談時卻口若懸河?真不可思議?
有人覺得讀一章聖經又難又悶,卻很容易地就看完百多頁的小說?真不可思議?
人人都想在演唱會或在遊戲時坐在前排,但在教會他們無論如何都會坐後排?真不可思議?
我們要教會預先兩三個星期通知活動,才能安放在自己的時間表裡,但我們只需用兩三分鐘就安排好參加其他的活動?真不可思議?
我們很困難才能從神學到真理與人分享,卻好容易就學到講閒話,甚至謠言滿天飛?真不可思議?
我們相信在報紙雜誌中講的每件事,卻懷疑聖經裡所記載的事蹟?真不可思議?
人人都想上天堂,卻不願去了解和探索任何東西?真不可思議?
我們常常將笑話從電郵傳來傳去,但! 當我們要將神的信息傳給別人時,卻一再考慮?真不可思議?
你現在竟然能看到這信息,卻又願意傳給你所認識的每位朋友。假如你不這樣做,你不單只奪取自己得到祝福的機會,同時也奪取別人被祝福的機會!可能在你朋友的生命中,正需要認識那位不可思議的神?真不可思議!!!
最不可思議的是,這不可思議的神,從未放棄過我們這些心硬得不可思議的人。我們都習慣迎合這個世界的價值觀,大部份人都欠缺活出自己的勇氣。包括我,我叫鄭秀文,一位歌手及演員,今年三十五歲。我略有小成就,但我從來沒有活出真正的自己。我習慣活在一堆價值觀中。以為成就越大,自我存在的價值就越高。當我擁有很多人人渴求的東西,我卻發現我內心一無所有,心是空空的。我嘗試用更大的成就來補充,但招徠的空蕩感更大,更恐怖。於是,我決定暫停這場永無止境的追求,我放下一手建立十多年的事業,我毅然放下成功,我要看看我的生命還剩下什麼?上帝用了接近一千天的時間,讓我徹底反省過去的生命。我看清了成功和金錢的真相,這些或許可以建築我的生活,但卻一點不能滿足我的'生命'。生命應該有更高尚的價值,在上帝的話裡,我找到了明確的方向和定位。“人子來,本是要服待人,不是要人來服待的。”在我未來的人生的道路上,我已有更重要的使命。我並不知道上帝會如何安排我生命的劇本,但我知道祂會帶領我一步一腳印。這種內心的平安,是再多的金錢也買不到的。回顧過去一千多天,上帝確實狼狼地修理了我,祂給予我這場放逐,無非要我找回自己的心。心跟上帝早已緊扣,我再也不害怕,再也不膽怯,我要活出真正的自己。活出生命更高的價值,不要扭曲自己奉迎這個世界。這是我對上帝的承諾。」

林方@popstar.com

我一向喜欢自创点子拍照。几乎在去年的同期间,我拍了一张取名为《FIND ME》的照片。前几天我因好玩,在吉隆坡的国立美术馆拍了一张这样的照片。之后我还沾沾自喜的自以为很有创意的把它当成一张poctcard电邮给朋友。天晓得朋友收到之后,反应如下:

朋友1
《Yee.......好扮不扮,学人扮“贞子”》

朋友2
《 hi, a bit "scare" la this pic.............hahhahahah....》

朋友3
《cakap betul betul, a bit scare...if can get color tv, i thk better gua.....hehehe........》

更有一朋友在此comment写道:
《你在做什么?好诡异。》

我想这都是《 午夜凶铃 The RING 》电影效应惹的祸。真系“激死人”。

KL Freeze in Unison on 13th APRIL 2008

For four minutes on Sunday, time appeared to have stopped in the heart of the city centre, or at least in Pavilion KL. PEOPLE from all walks of life, not just Malaysians, may also be different people with different views of things, but they can get together and do something in unison.



browsing through youtube and found many self-edited video clips which I found the below as the most FUNNY one. :-)

当你闷时就想我

横山加多三点霜
您若无心各自走
大门锁住你心房
阳没耳突遇个寸
京城右边被尤遮
箱子丢竹放心房
娥眉非女人所有

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.
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。

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。
