the longest distance

though far apart
you just know what exactly i am thinking...

i feel so glad
for your support
for your care & hughug
for worrying me getting hurt
for letting me know i'm always smart & charm
(though you may be the only one who thinks like this...)

and i know, your shoulder is always beside me
thanks my dearest...

(and i know, u gonna read this, kekekeke :D)

there's nothing new under the sun

好久... 遺忘了的聖經章節不知怎的從腦袋跑出來
我最喜愛的, 傳道書3章第1至第20節

我愛讀英文聖經, 可這篇的中文譯本比英文譯本寫得更漂亮

尋 找 有 時 、 失 落 有 時 . 保 守 有 時 、 捨 棄 有 時 .
撕 裂 有 時 、 縫 補 有 時 . 靜 默 有 時 、 言 語 有 時 .
喜 愛 有 時 、 恨 惡 有 時 . 爭 戰 有 時 、 和 好 有 時 。

Song of the Day: Times Like These

in times like these...
all i want is a good rest in order to move on, on my own

Times Like These - Jack Johnson
in times like these
in times like those
what will be will be
and so it goes
and it always goes on and on…
and on and on it goes

and there’s always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
and heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
but then hurt from time to times like these
and times like those
what will be will be
and so it goes

and there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
action, reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
those for peace and those for war
and god bless these ones not those ones
but these ones made times like these
and times like those
what will be will be
and so it goes
and it always goes on and on…
and on and on it goes

but somehow i know it won’t be the same
somehow i know it’ll never be the same

Song of the Nite: 失敗者的飛翔 / 傷追人

終於拿到了 我的005598 =)
我還是喜歡acoustic一點的妳...

失敗者的飛翔 - 陳綺貞
你知道嗎 聽你說話 我只需要聽你說話
在你的聲音中 安全得讓我害怕

這是一個 快樂的警告 警告我別想逃
這個特別的時刻 判斷 絕不會是你想要

你的溫柔 包圍 而我像個沒人愛的傻瓜
你的影子 巨大 像喧囂的髒話

在一片歡樂的景象之中 我卻覺得勉強
在離別的前夕 找不憂傷的台階下

你承認吧 你也想要體驗英雄般的誇張悲壯
來不及為你歌唱 你瀟灑而昂揚

在一片荒涼的景象之中 我卻覺得晴朗

讓我為你飛翔 在你殘破的天空之上
讓我為你飛翔 在你殘破的天空之上

讓我聽你說話 給我肩並肩的擁抱

P.S. 腦海一片空白的時候
為何只會想起傷追人......?

It's a Long & Winding Road

Monday, July 14, 2008

能說出我心底話的...



自覺不被擁抱的人
失去歸所的人
腳踏實地卻也渴望飛的人

... 只有你... 綺貞老師 :)
快點到星期三... 就好了.

p.s.
有段時間, 好怕聽老師的歌
但是 好的音樂是不應該被無謂的東西影響
其實老師的歌, 都是我的心裡話...

棚 棚 棚 棚 !!

一直好想寫多點工程既東西, 卻遲遲未有動筆...
近期看了好幾個寫得很好既blog, 也讓我的起心肝要寫點什麼 :)

築棚是其中一個很想寫的題目
棚架一般是作為臨時工作台, 以作建築及維修之用.
關於棚的種種, 五零一兄炭燒兄都寫了兩篇不錯的文章, 我也不在此多說了.

我尤其鐘愛竹棚, 因竹棚為我國偉大國粹之一,
在香港隨處可見各式各樣的竹棚, 在國外實是十分罕有.

竹棚的穩固性, 全取決於棚佬的經驗及手藝, 並沒有規範式的設計作依據, 因此在現今凡事都要有則有數可尋的工程界, 某些竹棚已被金屬棚架取代.
可是, 竹棚物料較輕及較有彈性既特點, 也使它在行內的地位仍不能取替.
如圖中地盤位處陡峭山坡, 並無車路, 需以直昇機搬運物料, 竹棚工作台便較佳, 以承受直昇機的撞擊力(impact force)而不會倒塌.


近代把竹棚這種國粹發揚光大的, 要數建築師嚴迅奇(Rocco Yim)在2000年為香港-柏林文化節(Hong Kong in Berlin)所建造既Bamboo Pavilion. 記得當年他要專程從香港邀請數位搭棚師傅到柏林建造這個竹亭, 而此建築也令不少洋人對我國的竹棚工藝嘖嘖稱奇呢.Bamboo Pavilion

現今香港建造業式微, 已不再是當年CITA廣告咁"出路好 收入高"或者"人工仲...哈哈哈哈" (而係"人工仲...唉......"), 加上工作勞苦(真正的'血汗錢'), 沒有多少年輕人願意入行, 相信搭棚佬會賣少見少... 不知道幾十年後是否再找到老經驗的竹棚師傅了...

tension

人與人的關係, 是競猜遊戲
互相猜量下一秒的變化
就在這種無常中製造張力

人與人的關係, 是拔河比賽
適時用力 適時放鬆 時而遠 時而近
就在這一收一放中凝聚出張力

人生有趣之處
是這種 不斷改變所形成的張力
所以 我享受
快樂憂愁興奮焦慮無奈滿足期待失望

只有好 沒有壞
這不是人生

exercise is important

差不多8年多沒打乒乓同壁球啦...
哈哈... 好彩仲識打
同埋我仍舊唔識反手打壁球 =P

好喜歡成班同事打波...
無論打得好打得差都唔緊要
最緊要 係出一身臭汗

好喜歡... energetic既感覺
exercise is important!

P.S.
感謝各位既支持
我會為自己爭取到底的 :)

P.P.S.
上星期跟公主吃午餐
lunch menu竟然有english big breakfast
好好吃
好懷念 英倫的B&B
突然 好想你...

落雨濕透 太陽曬又濕透...

做site formation, 真的比infrastructure works辛苦一點...
向呢個40度既斜坡爬左兩日,
只有兩種感覺 ...
...累 ...好熱
這只是今個夏天的序幕...
仲有排捱呀~~

阿媽食鹽多過Y-ly食米

媽咪觀人於微, 我兩姊弟甘拜下風...

例子一:
"佢連對你屋企人都唔好, 會有幾鐘意你?"
-> 中!
例子二:
"一睇就知你俾佢食住架啦, 遲早俾佢飛..."
-> 又中!

不過, 就算媽咪當時點講, 我地都只會當耳邊風
後來回想, 才明白箇中既智慧
有時, 我們都需要從失敗中長大吧...

不過媽咪可能最唔識既就係觀自己,
因為佢竟然生兩舊叉燒黎做頂心杉... =P

After. Ensemble, c'est tout

一部簡簡單單的法國電影
沒什麼拍攝技巧 沒有驚天動地情節
可讓人看了好溫暖

有時,人肆意讓工作及現實把真正的自己磨滅
有時,人因為害怕別人,更害怕自己,不相信有愛,而不敢去面對愛

其實 愛 很簡單
愛 從關心開始...

P.S. 看到Audrey Tautou片中的清爽超短髮,好有剪髮的衝動,畢竟我的長髮造型也維持了好幾年了...

After. 離留記

我最愛的,往往沒有選擇我…
最愛妳的,往往不是妳最愛…
伴隨終老的,
卻不是我最愛,也不是最愛妳…
只是在最適合的時間出現的那個…
唯有趁離開前
留低我倆所愛的 一點一滴
然後 永遠 記在心裡

都話, caption係好重要架...
這次, 我被它吸引了

整齣劇的細節位不錯
可惜在... 什麼都交待得太清清楚楚
太多前言, 欠缺了戲劇的張力

故事....還是那種天意弄人/人鬼殊途的悲劇
總而言之...
TIMING is EVERYTHING

Workshop. Level 2 (1)

等左好耐...終於又可以上level 2既workshop啦~~

有D掛住同學仔有D掛住馬生...
今晚, 我又帶走了一點點, 了解了自己一點點
我會記住馬sir既提醒keke

今次不期望什麼
只想同成班同學仔享受上課既過程
...屬於
我們8+1個人的秘密 :)

To Cherrie & Brian

你知道嗎?
回到家後, 你倆各自問我相同的問題
好感動... 不知我是哪裡來的福氣, 讓我有這麼好的朋友 :)

只想說
我享受人生
不是用填滿自己生活的時間表去逃避什麼
現在總想試好多好多東西, 而這些經歷正讓我知道
原來 我可以 可以做得好好

最重要是, 這種快樂的感覺,
是由看到自己的進步, 是從感到自己努力的過程, 是從了解自己而來的

我比以前情感豐富了, 看到小事情也會變得多愁善感
也總有一個人, 孤單的時候
到時侯, 你們的膊頭可會留給我?

My Site from the Air

So great that i can have the chance of joining the shooting of progress photographs from the AIR~
and to have excellent fine weather for aerial photography, no disgusting smoggy :)
The pilot said that we can just enjoy this kind of fine weather in HK for less than twenty-something days per year.
How lucky I am!!

To get best view for shooting the side door of the helicopter shall be removed, so one-third of the photographer's body is 'hanging freely' outside the helicopter.
sounds dangerous but the photographer adapted it quite well...

Barging point for transportation of excavated materials at Kai Tak

For me, I didn't miss any chance for shooting... =P
Maybe I'm just too concentrated to take some good shots, or maybe too busy to note the topographic settings & geomorphology of the site...
I find that I didn't have any fear of heights at all~

Excavation works as well as construction of site office in progress

P.S.Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED - Highly recommended though it's really expensive. really worth if you like landscape shots.

Song of the Nite: Live High

Tonight's bowling is so funny
(and this is the first time i didn't score less than 60 for all games.. haha..)
it won't be that fun with too many people
and also it won't be that fun without u 2 & with all your cool gestures man!! :P

and i've got a good news... for sure it will gonna be another memorable moments in my life
just keep it as a little secret now and will let u know later :)

And this is my song for tonight~

Live High - Jason Mraz
I try to picture a girl through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl as her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin it easy
Live high Live mighty
Live righteously

I try to picture the man to always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter, matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're making after all

The call of the wild is still an order nation why
And the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude
Practicing their loving for you

Just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
See nothing that's ever as it seems
This life is but a dream

After. King's Singers Hong Kong Concert

如果這個世界有創造者...
我感謝衪賜予人有嗓子及耳朵
如果我享受樂器所發出美妙聲音的歡愉
我更欣賞人聲所造出動人歌聲的奇妙

這是今天晚上聽King's Singers的感覺, 也是之前聽的幾個A Capella團隊不能給我的
殿堂級A Capella合唱團果然不同凡響

最驚喜的, 莫過於以一首'上海灘'為這個演唱會劃上一個完美的句號
好感動!!
(又, 鬼佬唱廣東話歌真的好好笑)

P.S. King's Singers 的官方網頁把樂隊名稱翻譯為'國王歌手', 可我們香港宣傳及單張則譯為'英皇合唱團', 我還是比較喜歡港譯的名字, 可能帶有點點舊殖民的氣息吧.
(不知會否會讓人覺得政治不正確呢:P)

愛. 在意

有好一段時間, 我想去回答... 究竟, 'What is Love?'
我能感覺, 但不懂得描述.
終於, 看到一個頗能說出我感覺的文章

節錄. 馬家輝《死在這裡也不錯》

人與人之間的感情,不管有沒有血緣關係,濃淡之別或許正在於有沒有存在「在意」。

感情若不是濃到某個程度,是不會有任何在意的。眼睜睜看著你沈淪,變成失信、頹廢、懶散、粗鄙、庸俗,於己無害,實在犯不著動半分肝火,更沒必要提出忠告或制止;看著你沈淪,或許能有幸災樂禍的快感,所以說不定還會加幾句誘惑,惟恐你站在懸崖旁邊忽然清醒,不願意往下跳。

有在意,才有期待,如果你做不到,對方會很難過。

倒過來說當你很在意對方的在意,你們之間便必有著隱隱的牽連,即使空間阻隔,甚或人鬼殊途,卻仍在彼此的心裡佔了一個位置,莫失莫忘,不離不棄。

有一個老問號是﹕What is love﹖

有一個相當直接的答案是﹕你是否在意對方,也在意對方是否在意﹖

英文有個很平淡卻又很有力量的句子叫做「couldn't care less」,可以譯做「毫不在乎」,等同廣東話的「話之你死」。當你敢向對方說couldn't care less,你們之間便不僅不再有愛更必有怨,因為你不在意對方是否受到傷害,相信我,一旦遇上機會,你將忍不住把他傷害。

人同情事其實不管屬於哪種感情,本質終於相同,都是視乎有沒有「在意」,而「在意」的同義詞就是「保護」﹔當你學懂了保護或有心去保護一個人,你對這個人便是有了愛。

山泥傾瀉 . 天然滑坡

百年一遇的雨, geotech的同業又會好忙了
好像我們的市道跟災害是不能分割的... (好像有點誇張 :P)

做緊LIC/NTHS既...
或者今次做back analysis搵debris velocity, debris thickness甚至runout,
都可以用youtube幫忙了 =P


雖然我對現在處理天然滑坡災害的方向不大認同
根本不robust也不cost effective (haa, 我在倒自己米...)
不過,不管城市有多進步, 有時天然災害可以離我們好近
適當的減低這類災害對市民的影響也是合理的
希望政府用錢可以用得其所...

Song of the Day: 一個不懂騎機車的傻子

原來我多年來的'手腳不協調症', 是不治之症
繼彈鋼琴之後, 今次係摩托車!!!!

為香港既道路使用者著想, 我還是要三思而行......

一個不懂騎機車的傻子 - 星盒子
一個不懂騎機車的傻子 坐在你的後面一起兜風去 我跟你好像不太熟悉
小小機車兩個人有點擠 我的雙手不知該放哪裡去 看見你腰間有點空隙

我想抱著你 緊緊抱著你
不需要經過你的同意 借口著怕會被甩下去
我想抱著你 緊緊抱著你
我知我倆各自有愛侶 回憶不想就這樣失去
抱緊吧 把他們忘記

晨早輕風迎面吹送微涼 吹送給我你的笑語跟髮香 那就是最美味的早餐
身邊車子匆匆交通繁忙 快點加速左穿右插不能慢 不怕危險理由十分簡單

我想抱著你 緊緊抱著你
不需要經過你的同意 借口著怕會被甩下去
我想抱著你 緊緊抱著你
我知我倆各自有愛侶 回憶不想就這樣失去
抱緊吧(暫時) 把他們忘記

After. 七月好風


是陳慧的吸引力
讓我十分期待 (足足等了兩個星期...)

導演把陳慧的味道拍出來了 -
那種逝去的老情懷, 及身邊我們都容易遺忘的小事情/小事物

也讓我明白的...
(也就是遇事便只懂逃跑的蘭心終於明白的)
最重要是 要懂得回家
...... 其實可以勇敢回去,有些事情可以重來
事情總有解決的方法

還有片末,小時候的蘭心與大頭的對話
怎樣才看到太陽? 看到影子的時候
怎樣才看到風? 看到樹上葉子晃動的時候...

Work after the Black Rainstorm (it's OT!) @.@

今年應該是多風雨的一年
未到七月份已有兩次黑色暴雨警告了

今天還是第一次... 因暴雨關係下午要返回地盤工作
工地旁的山坡有個小小的山泥傾瀉, 雖然不是於工地之內也與我們的作業無關, 但我們尊貴的client大人還是立刻出地盤巡邏.
還好我們地盤的問題(如泥水, 淤塞渠道等等)不是太嚴重, 可能之前client大人施加予我們同contractor既壓力讓我們不敢怠慢吧 =P

唉, 希望未來幾個月還是不要有這麼多風雨啦, 如果唔係真係寫report寫到手軟呀...

同時我也感到泥組的好...
我們真的是work hard play hard架 :)

That's what they said about my photo

The photo competition is over...
Although I'm not the winner but I'm just so touched by the comments from fellow colleagues all over the world...

wow, seems I can really take story telling photographs :D
(btw, the theme is 'water and/or shelter')

So that's what they said about my photo...
"Meets both of the criteria and tells a powerful story"
"This photo shows how capitalism and serfdom are also the biggest dangers to the environment, along with poor design."
"It incorporates both water & shelter and the need for good shelter, but with how it affect actual people"
"Has water, shelter and man"
"This photo also shows how water and shelter are connected"
"1,000,000 words"
"incorporates both water and shelter very well"
"Good, technical picture. Could be placed in National Geographic"
"The photo links the themes of water and shelter together. I love the simplicity of daily life captured so clearly."
"Links the 2 themes. It evokes an emotional response and doesn't need a long title or explanation."
"Well composed and the colour of the water in which he is washing speaks volumes"
"How shelter is so sparse for so many and the reliance on water so great"
"survival by living on water; danger of self pollution"
"Typifies the closeness to poverty of so many and need for clean water sources for improvement of life"
"Vulnerability"
"Best sums up the theme - water as most things in life is both good and bad, it can be destructive due to the power of the elements, it can be deadly due to pollution, yet we can't live without it and the poor aren't in a position to make choices!"
"A very direct image of poverty in many forms shown in one place."
"The reliance upon the water on which they live but the scant regard for sanitation & hygiene"
"Unique lifestyle"
"impact"
"Creativity and Impact"
"It shows how close the tie between humanity and water can be"
"health and water in one picture- awesome impact on me"
"it had the greatest impact on my heart when i viewed the images"
"There is amazing beauty in this photo which conflicts with the poverty and unsanitary existence of that man's life."
"This image has such a fresh vibrant palette, yet something in it's subject matter really subdues it for me. Possibly the person working away, possibly the condition of the shelter. Something that at first glance could pass for a playful image is actually on closer inspection very sobering - that's why I like it."

After. 勁金歌曲

仲有飛買呀~~ 二字尾三字出頭必看 :)
我們都是聽流行曲長大的

流行曲...以前叫時代曲

流行曲.. 是時代的見證, 也是我成長的見證
同一首歌, 對不同的人都有不同意義

突然記得小時候 好難才儲夠錢買唱片
擁有一張唱片的喜悅
和把碟上的每隻歌煲得滖瓜爛熟的感覺

現在才發現 小小的ipod竟載著二千八百七十一首
我正在慢慢的 永遠失去這份感覺

我喜歡 每首陪伴我長大的 流行曲
謝謝您陪我渡過 生命裡的高低起跌
no music no life

P.S.
問卷裡的問題
假如在未來的日子, 你只可以聽一首歌, 你的主題曲會是那一首呢?
我想... 是明天的太陽

P.P.S. 細蘇好型呀... 唱歌仲好好聽添 :D

Song of the Nite: 左邊

最窩心的, 都是一些小事情
...也許就逐漸忘了有多久

左邊 - 蘇打綠
收拾好舊時光的傷口
投靠了陌生的河流
時間往前衝 沖散了你和我
沖散心跳脈搏 回憶寄放窗口

粉刷好舊屋簷的巷口
掩埋了淚眼的斑駁
在轉角之後 扣上故事門鎖
請你張開雙手 讓我死在懷中

握你的左手 散落在我手中的是溫柔
曾經給你太多 傷心過 過後總會寬闊

握你的溫柔 散落在我心中的是錯過
我需要寂寞 來撫摸 雨季中百花凋落過後的沉默

握你的左手 散落在我手中的是溫柔
曾經給你太多 傷心過 過後總會寬闊

握你的溫柔 散落在我心中的是錯過
我需要寂寞 來撫摸 雨季中百花凋落過後的沉默

也許就逐漸忘了有多久

工程界必看

係咪... 大家既工作壓力太大呢?
呢個系列既video要用既咖哩啡頗多, 還有不同場景, 好認真咁

可能, 是行內人渲洩現時地盤制度的一種方式...
張貼video既人兄, 莫非唔怕俾瑞X建築炒魷魚?!?!

雖然好笑, 亦暗暗有點點悲涼的感覺...
究竟我們既行業出了什麼問題?

cocoa

跟我要好的朋友, 都知道我喜歡喝唂咕
其他朋友都覺得奇怪, 他們知道冰室有杏霜卻不知道有唂咕
可是, 現在的茶餐廳都沒這種飲品, 或者都不好喝

沖好喝的唂咕, 是要用好多奶
那才能帶出唂咕的味道

曾有一段日子
會有人跟我一起喝唂咕
我記得 我們都加好多好多奶

不知為何, 我好久沒喝唂咕了
不是逃避什麼, 只是總沒適當時候

我想 凡事都有定期

......
你再喝唂咕時, 會想起我嗎......?
或者, 你已不喝唂咕了

After. We will Rock You

好期待, 卻又有點失望既muscial...
故事有點牽強, 幸好表演者的唱功及live band的精湛表演挽回不少分數

還有Bohemian Rhapsody 竟然唔向個musical入面
而係encore部份, 這是最失望既部份 :(

個人認為, Queen既歌還是男聲唱得較有味道

Earthquake & Engineering

This is the Hot Topic of the Town after the Sichuan Event

something on ENGINEERING...
The design code in China is quite well established and there are even provincial code to suit local condition.

The problem is, if these regulations and requirements are being properly implemented from design to construction??

Some of my observations from previous work in China.
This may not reveal the entire picture of the current situation in China but worth a thorough thought:
(1) local designers are used to adopt 'rule of thumb' design, even sophisticated modelling and design can be made with the use of computer softwares;
(2) moral of semi-professionals/supervision staff are questionable. i think this applies to other industry too;
(3) unskilled construction labours and supervisory staff and they have no idea (or even wrong idea) on the engineering principles, their negligance to work cautiously in some critical tasks may be fatal;
(4) sacrifice of quality and safety in order to meet impossible target completion or minimize budgets (for most of the time), it's probably one of the drawbacks of the country's economy boom

The root of the problem maybe... the overall ethical value of the people need to be enhanced, which was being destroyed two decades ago...

something on EARTHQUAKE...
From a geologist's point of view, earthquake of large magnitude is not rare and it's recurring

We can never tell where exactly will earthquake happen, though we already have a better idea on how tectonic plates move relative to each other...
(Just like we know where the fault is but it is rather an influence zone, not just along one plane of weakness, and the way of fault effect varies...)

If you would like to know more about Earthquake please click here (Courtesy of chiuchiu)

I cannot explain so much in detail regarding this issue... and suddenly find my knowledge on plate tectonics is depleting
I used to like plate tectonics so much...

I'm moving towards the extreme of Practical Engineering Geologist... :P

My photo got SHORTLISTED~!

My photo submitted for Company's Global Photo Competition is shortlisted!
So happy~~~
but I just knew today - and this is the last day for open staff vote...

Anyways, I'm really GLAD as my photo is one of the 15 entries being shortlisted out of 62 submissions!

Well, I gotta add oil on my photography~~~ keeeeee

Volkswagen Ad

One of the Ads i like recently
the idea is so good~

Does anyone know the name of this song?

Less is More

向Contractor既choi wan temp office已經一段時間
成班'泥人'一齊坐大房, 雖然比較擠迫,但係反而更加熱鬧
大家互相挖苦互相嘲笑來抵抗工作既負能量
泥組既人都是友善的 (當然係因為有我啦) =P

原來呢, RSS site office係好豪華架
有些東西原來並唔係垂手可得
例如... 冷氣&雪櫃 (尤其當你從30幾度烈日當空既地盤返去既時候)

當我們擁有越少, 真的會容易快樂一點...
因為有May姐既USB風扇仔
因為午餐唔駛再去彩雲商場美X快餐
因為Contractor聽聽話話
因為可以跟Contractor既geologist學好多practical rock engineering
因為有個technical好勁既RE, 教我好多blasting既東西
因為我跟既老闆非常體諒又心思細密
因為大大老闆很相任我
因為有好好玩既ARE(天氣小姐), ARE(外賣), ARE(IT), ARE(秘書), ARE(graphic)啦...
......

是的... Less is More

兩個傻瓜與一個聆聽者的約會

跟兩個把分手定為人生中重要的轉捩點的傻瓜聊天, 好奇怪吧
希望你不會被悶死 :P

我相信你慢慢會尋找到自己, 和你該走的路.
要的... 是我們都沒有的耐性.
The best is yet to come


我也是在這以後, 才審視自己對人生的認識
甚至二十七年來, 第一次真正去了解自己是怎樣的

生活戲劇工作坊 - 第六課

最後一課, 真正的演一齣戲
即興的, 沒劇本沒任何限制

卻發現, 只是去構思一個場景兩個演出者的關係已讓大家傷透腦筋
導師說, 我太乖了
我只會在自己限定的框框裡想像, 結果一切變得枯燥無味

要跳出我固有的想像空間
先要從生活出發
培養自己對事物的敏銳度
留意身邊小細節

我可以

在這個workshop真的學到很多很多
有點意料之外 =D

Song of the Nite: 相信

突然迷上了蘇打綠...

很愛這張專輯的編曲, 好豐富呢
(當然我是好喜歡林暐哲的編曲啦)

而我特別喜歡這一首的歌詞
"我會永遠相信 不完美的完美"

相信
我會永遠相信 最後一片落葉
無論什麼世界 東風藏在眉心
我會永遠相信 扎入心的水滴
在另一個世界 晴空布幔拉起

總是得到很多 多到麻木自我
竟然差一點就忘記 手掌裡要有更多呼吸
曾經失去很多 多到放棄自我
黃昏最後一盞燈亮起 來得及撐開眼睛

地球偶爾太大去練習 沙灘上海浪留下痕跡
剩下心和自己有時太安靜 自己都不敢看自己

我會永遠相信 開始掉下的淚
你和我的世界 痛褪去更清晰
我會永遠相信 不完美的完美
不管什麼世界 距離不是距離

Song of the Day: 空白

今天陪我寫spreadsheet的
是很久沒聽的星盒子

空白
寂寞不可怕 沒錢不可怕
生病不可怕 空白最可怕
空白的思想 空洞的靈魂
該往那裡去 我沒有答案

我想要什麼 我想要什麼
模糊的笑聲 模糊的哭泣
該做些什麼 該想些什麼
模糊的記憶 空白的生活

寂寞不可怕 沒錢不可怕
生病不可怕 空白最可怕
空白的思想 空洞的靈魂
該往那裡去 我沒有答案

你的好 =)

你你你還有你的好, 讓我很窩心
有這麼錫我的朋友, 我覺得自己很有福氣

現在學會了怎樣去愛身邊的朋友
卻漸漸忘了去愛一個人是怎樣子
不過, 到他來的時候, 相信我會懂得怎樣去愛
現在...時候還未到

又或者沒有那個他
我也可好好享受獨處的幸福
是...自由的感覺

P.S. Congrads mr. wan!! my best wishes to you =)
& mr. c, pls take good care of yourself in the hot hot place

生活戲劇工作坊 - 第五課

我們今天玩拋球遊戲
原來拋球的重點是... 投球者與接球者的交流

發覺... 我有點怕望某些人的眼睛...

這一課, 我們也終於做戲了
我們兩個人要說一個故事

又發覺...
我們都只想說自己要說的話, 而不是聽別人說
兩個人說的故事變為各自各說自己的故事
尤其是, 當我們都努力希望做好自己的部份,
我們腦袋不停在想, 卻忘了跟別人的故事相連
我們都少了聆聽, 卻又希望別人聽我們的...
(哈..現實的我也是這樣)

還有就是.. 發現我說廢話比有意義的話要多...
又或者只是descriptive的
真的要加大自己的database...

contented

不知為何
你總會pick up到我心情不佳的時候...

謝謝你
也謝謝你的甜點 =)
好久沒去西貢吃甜品了

Karma

Just heard the update of one of my best best friend...
just worried about him and suddenly KARMA was the word that flashed across my mind...

Do you believe this very buddist concept?

i'm not sure, but i think there is a reason for everything
although there are things we cannot explain, maybe we are just too stubborn and naive to understand them

我只想說
我們未必可以避免別人去傷害自己
但至少我們可以控制自己不去傷害別人

為了自己自私的貪念/欲望而傷害他人
有一天自己會承受這帶來的結果...

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

生活戲劇工作坊 - 第四課

今晚, 我們來認識自己.
不是用眼去看, 而是用觸覺去認識

然後, 我們用聲音製造場景, 很有趣

了解自己, 改變/改進自己
要先還原基本步, 用最簡單的方式找回自己
認清真正的我, 才能繼續前進

今天
我又比昨天認識自己多一點

After. 雪后

很久沒見Roger兄了 (上次是一年前吧), 很高興找到知音人一起看話劇呢.
原來我們不經不覺都認識了4年多...

今晚看演戲家族的雪后, 八位演員份量十足, 而每位的歌喉都很好
我尤其欣賞Corinna Chamberlain
而倫永亮的歌很棒...看來香港的音樂劇將會更豐富

記憶會讓人痛苦, 可沒有記憶會是怎樣的呢...
我知道 我不想過 沒有感覺的 冷冰冰的日子
----------------------------------------------------------
有些小東西 令我相信
以前的日子其實沒有白過 沒有浪費
有些感覺真是確曾出現過
只是 它們都過去了

photographolic

hee, 今日從早到晚機不離手

先黎個普洱 + 懷舊點心
(我還是第一次去蓮香樓)


到中環當然是為拍照啦 (see my flickr)


到晚上family gathering, 繼續拍~
呢個就係'組合櫃'的真正意思...

然後...'組合櫃'變了我們的backdrop
連嫲嫲都陪我地玩埋一份 =P
(佢影左張同我呢張一樣架)

仲有佢地...成為我地成班細路哥'facebook profile pic'既主角... haaa


有咁多人陪我癲, 真好! =P
好滿足...
i love 嫲嫲PapaMama細佬叔叔嬸嬸姑姐姑丈堂妹表妹表弟堂細佬 :D

生活戲劇工作坊 - 第三課

唉, 因為要上boring safety course的關係沒上第二課...

第三課, 我們學習製造一齣好看的戲, 以及專注力.

原來我都忘記一些基本步...
好看的戲, 正如一場球賽, 最好看的地方, 是看整隊球隊怎樣配合去入球
要專心做好每件事, 事情才便得有趣..., 所以, 首先是演員要專注, 戲才好看

我太習慣multi-tasking, 要專心做好一件事變得很困難
最重要是, 少了專注, 觀察力也會減弱
對於一些習以為常的小事, 突然發覺怎樣也想不起來
真的要好好訓練一下自己...

After. Shine A Light

people are amazing creatures
we can be so strong & powerful once we knew what we want to be in our lives...

and that's what the film was showing
i'm not a big fan of rolling stones but i really astonished by their show

Just wonder... if I can keep up with my enthusiasm in photography until the end of my life, how wonderful it would be :)

P.S.
Test passed. looking forward to the 1st lesson... :)
P.P.S.
Thanks for spending the day with me out of your tight schedule...
I enjoyed hanging out & chatting with u too ^^

好好活著

四川大地震的新聞很震撼.

除了跟我的專業有關係以外, 還有人類對抗自然災害時那種無力的感覺.

以前讀《唐山大地震》, 可能當時我還未出生, 只能從文字及相片去感受
到現在, 我真的看到了, 實實在在的感受到...

新聞裡的大大小小的故事我不是太深刻, 可溫總的一句說話卻忘不了:
"能生存的 要好好活著"

是的, 希望每個人都好好的活著

Dinner for Mama

因mama昨天有約既關係 (無錯, 佢竟然向Mother's Day約左人, 唔得閒應酬我地兩姊弟...), 今日我地先慶祝...

今年我決定要煮一餐俾媽媽食...
但係, 今日先至發現...媽媽要食素!!!!

原來煮素一d都唔容易...因為... 要諗四款小菜但配料唔重複已經好困難啦...
仲有唔可以放蒜, 蔥同埋洋蔥...
不過, 最後都搞得掂 :)

不過個腐皮卷失敗左... 仲要媽媽幫拖... :<
下次要再接再厲~~

見到mama & papa咁開心, 我都好開心, hee :D


同場加映 :-

Wrong Timing :P

This is a photo happened to be taken
in the right place, at the wrong time...



well.. it should have been taken 16 years ago...
... the time when my beloved cousin
who should be wearing this, was not even born to this world...

anyway, i'm always having a wrong timing for things & people i encounter...

生活戲劇工作坊 - 第一課

"關於演戲,關於自己。
關於創作,關於生活。
但這並不是演員訓練班。

我們上堂的時候會聽音樂,會玩遊戲,會做即興創作,會自己練習,又會跟同學一齊合作,就這樣一齊尋找久違了的生活靈感及觸覺,重新認識自己,認識劇場和創作,提升觀察力,在生活及戲劇的關係中尋找更多更大的創作空間 "

was attracted by the introduction and
... that's why I ended up having my very 1st drama workshop :)


第一課, 學會了演戲的基本法:
聽導演話/要投入/要相信你要演繹的東西(不管是多麼荒謬)

也感受到當要在眾人前表演時, 自己是多麼害羞
(縱然在工作上我也覺得頗能表達自己)

生活, 何嘗不是一齣戲? 不也是遵守以上的rules?
要投入要享受, 生活才有趣

突然想起...
All the World's a Stage
- As You Like It (William Shakespear)

After. The Savages

其實...會讓我流淚(不是大哭)的戲真的不多, 這是其中一套
可能也是我在責備自己... 這麼大還是有爸爸媽媽照顧吧.


面對老去, 面對死亡
我們是多麼的無能為力

面對我們最親的人將恩愛遺忘
面對他們漸漸忘記一起生活甜酸苦辣的片段
最傷心的, 是還有完整記憶的那些人

好喜歡戲裡的實在感...
生活到底是應力求完美, 還是隨遇而安
是自己選擇而已

and.. when it comes to an end,
when you die, and THAT IS IT...
There's not even a trace of you being existed in this world...

Nevertheless, LIFE MUST GO ON
and what is under my control... is TO LIVE AT ITS MOST :)

樂於 一個人 / Project 2.1

當我太樂於一個人
做自己喜歡的東西, 不再害怕一個人時...
可能, 我是要孤獨終老...

雖然有一些時候還是有一丁點寂寞的感覺, 但好像已經習慣了
------------------------------------------------
今天是Project 2.1: Typhoon Shelter


我越來越喜歡香港了

不過我的lens hood流落香港仔海底... :<

P.S. 好喜歡拎住相機時總可以同d陌生人交流心得... 今日我就遇到一個拎contax既uncle啦 :)
學識了"影藍天一定靚, 可是有煙霞卻有另一番味道..."


P.P.S. 我總是... 忘不了工作... :P

The Missing Piece meets the Big O

"You cannot roll with me, but perhaps you can roll by yourself."
"Corners wear off and shapes change."

I like this story a lot
It's about life, about finding our own way
There's no one you can depend on, as the life is yours

I have to find my way, on my own
(although it will be lonely sometimes)

The Missing Piece meets the Big O
by Shel Silverstein

一切有為法

again... my expectation has gone too far...

i hate being like this
but there's no way back for me

i hope this can be all over soon

一切有為法
如夢幻泡影
如露亦如電
應作如是觀

當工程不再是重點...

看了友人send給我關於construction的blog, 也讓我突然對近來地盤的工作有感而發.

地盤的背景可能是引發各種問題的原因:
這個土地平整工程三面環'樓', 還需以爆破的方式施工, 而工程範圍的山坡是市民休憩/晨運的地點, 不用多說也一定引起附近居民的'關注'.

工程才剛開始, 我們在工地監督的同事們, 每天要看進度之餘還要接待一些晨運客, 還有喜歡到山坡曬衣服的居民, 以及十分關注我們快要把山上的樹通通都砍光的市民...

面對各政府部門, 公型機構及公司, 我們每星期都有大大小小, 數之不盡的會議... 真的不明白為何工程還未'如火如荼', 每個單位都好像湊熱鬧, 務求把自己的要求都大肆record一番, 不論是否合理, 只求一紙record以方便日後互相推搪之用... 那些往往幾十頁, 寫得金睛火眼的minute, 卻是紙上談兵.

不得不提那些safety & environmental的東西... 我也同意公眾安全是整個工程的大前提, 而工作安全及環保也不能忽視, 但當發覺大部份同事用大量的時間去處理這些問題時...
當一棵普普通通的樹比建築本身更重要...
又或當渠蓋其中一個凹位的積水會令大家要做更多更多額外工作的時侯...
我們是否都忘記工程本身的目的...?

面對這些這些, 有時的確令洩氣. 可是, 就是這些這些, 才令工程這個行業有點與別不同.
我們往往身兼數職, 也讓我覺得總有學不完的東西.

今時今日, 工程已不再只是埋頭苦幹去計算去做設計了. 我們需要更多考慮, 要處理更多不同層面的問題, 及提供解決的方案.
可是, 也不可以忘記, 工程本身, 就是要造出安全穩固的設施及建築, 以改善及提高人的生活品質.

我想, 這就是"we shape a better world"的意思吧.

幸福

就是走難走的路

走到最後
我會找到

Those are the good people around me... :)

I think I am always gifted as there are always so many good people around me

I started to love my site life... out of the endless tasks and work I enjoy and have fun in working with all these people around me :)

I feel content with all these tiny things around me :)
I'll try my best everyday. carpe diem!

After. August Rush

Music is all around us
All you have to do is LISTEN




very touching story... about music and hope
we should always have hope and dream
and whenever you feel down, music is always the booster....

I fell for you~

Tonight I got a smiling "Miu"


& the Conversation for the Nite:
"你由得我去死啦..."
"...你要去死我唔通唔俾你去咩"
...

我想 既然不能控制的
便隨遇而安吧
最重要 是每天都過得愉快
總有一個 right TIMING :)

Song of the Day: Lies

LIES...which break people apart

I really like the 'little' words used in the lyrics....
"the little cracks they escalated... and before you know it was too late..."
-----------------------------------------------------
LiEs - Glen Hansard
I think it's time, we give it up
And figure out what's stopping us
From breathing easy, and talking straight
The way is clear if you're ready now
The volunteer is slowing down
And taking time to save himself

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it was too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn

So plant the thought and watch it grow
Wind it up and let it go

Saturday, April 12, 2008

mistakes...

made a serious mistake today...
luckily it didn't turn out into a great disaster though it has made some confusion already

but it's a good reminder for me... to be cautious in every matter

maybe i'm too confident
i should know my limits and role

Old B&W

i'm too lazy to develop my B&W films...

not really professional but i like the feel...

Truth?!

感覺是真的嗎
看到是真的嗎

we don't always see what we think we see

每個人都有各自生活的難題
問題是你抱什麼態度去面對

After. ONCE

How often do you find the right person?......Once

A charming simple story in Dublin, on how 2 people got closely connected with their affection on music
and on how they support each other with their lives and dreams...

and without the great songs, this movie could have never touched my heart....
music is really a wonderful thing...

and i like the ending.. not romantic at all but well... that's life isn't it?!

You may find the right person just once in a lifetime ....
Although this right person may not be the one who's going to accompany you for the rest of your life,
he/she may understand you, inspire you, touch you, and encourage you to go for what you would like yourself to be...

P.S. I'm really get used to watch movie ALONE
It seems like I'll be a single old lady soon :(
--------------------------------------------------------
Theme song of the Movie - Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Song of the Day: Communication

Communication...
it can be easy, it can be hard though...

so is that what TIMING is called?!
--------------------------------------------------
Communication - The Cardigans
For 27 years I've been trying
to believe and confide in
different people I found


Some of them got closer than others
some wouldn't even bother
and then you came around


I didn't really know what to call you
you didn't know me at all
but I was happy to explain


I never really knew how to move you
so I tried to intrude through
the little holes in your veines


And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
if this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect


You always seemed to know where to find me
And I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye


I never really learned how to love you
But I know that I love you
through the hole in the sky
where I see you


And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
if this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect


Well, this is an invitation
it's not a threat
if you want communication
that's what you get
I'm talking, and talking
but I don't know how to connect
and I hold the record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation


I need you, you want me, but I don't know
how to connect
So I disconnect
I disconnect...

To Mr. Sagittarius

我想, 只要盡全力, 做你想做的, 便可以了.

我想, 人馬座的我倆都是樂觀的..
(雖然我仍常常自怨自艾, 但都是訴訴苦便沒事了 :P)

support u always :D

Great Latte~

今晚特意去了crema, 打手果然無介紹錯...

latte真的好好飲...有奶味之餘仍不失香濃既咖啡味...
唔會好似starsucks個d似飲奶多過飲咖啡...

當然要一讚笑容甜美既待應姐姐特別替我order一個可愛既bear bear拉花~


這是chiuchiu的...


lui, 不好意思要不飲咖啡的你陪我呢
如果朱古力都可以拉花就好了~ =P


我會再拜會crema呢! :D

Last Day @R8NSCV

今日係向NSCV site office 既最後一天
下星期就搬去Choi Wan Temp Office了

等我show下我呢4個星期坐個間大房俾大家睇先 :)


除左每天忙得不可開交既日子之外

我會記得pretty ladies從FW mail run過來既小食
同lui & muimui既長沙灣午餐

仲有發現同你又向同一個地方出現既funny thought...

I'll miss this place :)

The Power of Photos

新聞報導關於攝影記者狄潘(Dith Pran)病逝的消息
突然, 讓我感受到照片的力量
這些冒著生命危險去拍照
去讓大家知道世界某一角所發生的事情的人
讓我覺得自己好渺小

我也很想
好想拍出會說故事的照片
