枉作奴才
徐四民準時在9時諮詢會開始時入場，坐在觀眾席的第一行，並準備了講稿發言。發言一開始，徐即為港台「正名」，指「香港電台應該叫『中華人民共和國香港特別行政區政府電台』」。又指港台要求編採獨立，「是否香港也要獨立﹖」
然後徐四民隨即開炮，轟港台認不清誰是老闆﹕「難道（在港台）朱培慶是主﹖我看不是這樣，香港作為中華人民共和國下的一個特別行政區，老闆應該是中共﹗」他續稱﹕「（港台）中央也罵、特區政府也罵，是笑話。港台是一個政府機構，應該多宣傳中央政府在香港的政策、《基本法》。」
徐四民離場後，朱培慶到總結部分才作回應，他引述早前一個民意調查，指近八成受訪市民認為港台角色應為監察政府。他認為民意已充分反映對港台定位的意見，不應作政府喉舌，又表示香港政府是港台的上司，「港台真正的老闆是市民。」
-----明報-----
跟據徐生的思維, 香港大學要改名為『中華人民共和國香港特別行政區政府大學』. 另外, 我真的不知道港台編採獨立和香港獨立有任何關係? 徐生年逾80, 舊式思維深種, 視中共為再生父母, 看不清, 學不懂現代社會政黨, 政府和人民的角色. 任何社會, 人民才是最終的老闆, 政黨, 包括中共, 算是什麼?! 政府也只不過人民授權的公僕, 政黨更只不過是代表人民利益的團體, 誰是主, 誰是僕, 要搞清楚. 既然是僕, 作主的為何不能找人去好好監測? 我摸一摸自己的頭, 我沒有辮子! 真的不知道為何有人要爭著認奴才.
徐生理想的香港, 應該是要把長毛等多事之徒流放青海高原, 把毛主席的肖像掛在新的政府總部大樓, 每年國慶, 全港市民一起在街上呼叫: 我愛共產黨! ....
幸好, 這只是徐生一個人的夢想, 就讓他在他的夢中追尋這個理想國吧. 我們要好好的活在現實中, 作為自己和社會的主人.
PC or TV
家中的電視壞了, 新的電視要下星期一才送到, 暫時過著沒有電視的日子.
十年前, 電視是家庭接收資訊和娛樂的主要途徑, 每人每天都花上數小時於電視上. 小朋友要追看卡通片, 大人要追看電視劇集, 電視是不能缺少的東西.
這幾天, 發現電視機不是個人接收資訊和娛樂必需品. 藉得看的新聞不多, 看網上和報章的已足夠了. 要看電視劇, 台灣, 日本, 外國的劇集都可以在網上找到, 選擇多不勝數, 質素亦比香港的高很多. 還有各色各樣的音樂, 電影, 遊戲, 等等...一部可以上網的電腦, 能提供的資訊的娛樂是電視遠遠不能達到的, 家中需要的PC, 還是TV?
我想電視, 至少在我的家, 還是必要的. 電視還是一家人最直接的共同娛樂, 我們喜歡每晚一起爭論"百法百眾"的個案, 預測和笑下無線那些十年如一日的編劇, 星期六日播放一兩套VCD(我家有五個人, 絶不會擠到那個15吋LCD前看VCD), 這些都是很珍貴的家庭活動.
香港人工作繁忙, 連娛樂(尤其是全家一起的)也沒什麼時間去選擇, 開著電視機, 有什麼節目就看了. 網上太多的選擇, 反而增加了娛樂的成本.
換上一台PLASMA TV, DODO姐不會因此年輕了, 無線的劇集水準亦不會有所提升, 但我們全家都等待著那台電視. 電腦還不能取代電視. (It is still personal computer, not family computer.)
Meaning of life and sustainable living
Life can be described as a container. Life can be long or short, just like container can be large or small. However, a large container doesn’t means it is a beautiful one, where small container can be full of wonderful and attractive contents.
Life is limited. We need to decide what things are worth and meaningful for us to put them into our own container. Some values, such as love and friendship, are important and some people may even regard them as basic things to constitute a happy life. I think everyone needs friends, lover(s), and family to share, care and rely. Being the only one in the world will not be meaningful and happy.
There are thousands upon thousands people in this world. I do believe living a meaningful life is a desire of most of us. So, one thing we need to keep in mind is that how we can achieve our own meaningful life without affecting others doing the same thing, or at least minimizes our harmful effects on others and the earth that we all are living. This is one of the core ideas of sustainable life.
I worked and lived in an organic firm in Australia during my last summer break. The life there follows the concept of permaculture. We got the vegetables and fruits from the fields that we plowed using the organic method and the eggs from the chicken that was fed with vegetables and kitchen waste. Sometimes, if we were lucky enough, fishes that we fished from the sea. Of course we did need to buy some more extra foods from the supermarket. However, the first rule of choosing a brand was that the foods were produced based on organic method. Also, we won’t make any rubbish out of these packaged foods. All the paper bags, plastic bags and metal cans were well classified into different boxes and sent to recycle centre. This experience impressed me a lot. It told me that we can live in a green way that the harm to the environment is reduced to a very low level. Can highly populated city, like Hong Kong apply this kind of living for every one? The answer obviously is no. However, I believe we can apply the concept and try our best to moving forward to achieve a sustainable life.
Life can be so simple. We should not occupied wholly by work and forget the meaning of life that we are chasing for. For those year 3 students like me, we are going to graduate soon. Many of us even started to look for a job. The first thing we concern always is the salary and career prospect. However, work is only a mean for us to achieve our own meaningful way of living. How many of us can pause for a moment and think about what we are looking for in our limited life? Beside salary, what we are looking for from the job?

Parent to parent﹕睜大眼睛看世界
【明報專訊】大學畢業頭三年，我任職中學GM老師。之後，轉職商業工作。原因﹖目的﹖當年我很天真，既不是為賺錢，也不是為累積創業本錢。只是趁青春歲月，多點見聞多點見識。幾年光陰，真的是大開眼界。
商業社會中的男男女女，跟純樸的校園人物角色，完全是活在截然不同的世界裏。八零年代我任職的中學，從校工到校長，我覺得都是好人老實人。如此觀感，是因為我傻乎乎不懂閱人﹖還是那年代的學校教育工作，真的沒有今天的複雜﹖總之，我離開校園後，跑到尖沙嘴、灣仔、中環商業區上班的日子，是我頭一次認識香港這個大都市裏的男男女女，原來是﹕
●關係可以是很隨便的。
●一夜情是你情我願，沒有誰著數誰蝕底那回事。
●Easy money easy come easy go﹗大部分收入花在名牌衣物和高檔消費飲食活動。
●這一刻他/她對客人溫文有禮，笑容燦爛，必恭必敬。客人走後，粗口賤人之聲臭罵不停。說話的人，都是俊男美女。
●稍為所謂「四正」的男人，不論已婚沒婚，女士們爭相埋位，甘願做個秘密/半公開/公開的第三者。
●不論是大學生經理，或是中學生的文書，都是遊走自大自卑兩極點線上。
●權和利比什麼情愛公義更重要。
●手段出術是可以justified的。
我所認識的商業世界，還有聰明人、有才華的人、有型有格的人、有個性的人、有魅力的人……總之，各路人馬合起來互動絞纏，一天合演的戲目不暇給。身處其境，我有點明白劉姥姥入大觀園的驚訝。

由校園走向真實世界, 或者有朝一日, 你我都會被這些現象嚇了一嚇, 但卻又很快溶入其中. (希望沒有人會樂在其中吧.)
Black and White
A page which is filled with black and white. Why would someone make it like that? The black background and white words make me feel depressed suddenly. I don't know why.
The words, the background and the picture, all make me feel that your mind is complicated and full of depression. It seems you are lost and looking for an exit.
What are you thinking? What am I thinking?
....Lost
You are not alone
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away?
Something whispers in my ear and says
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart- by Michael Jackson -I don't know you are alone or not. Maybe you even don't know I am talking to you. But I really want to deliever this song to you. Let you know I am always be here.
'You've got to find what you love'
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.- by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios -
Lost
近來唯一的娛樂就是看Lost, 一部外國的電視劇, 劇本大綱很簡單, 飛機失事, 一班人流落荒島, 島上遇上不可思義的事.
喜歡劇中的背景音樂所營造的恐怖戰慄氣氛 (不時令我有去買一套喇叭的衝動, 2.1的也好了); 喜歡那些關於每個人背後的故事 (可能我們身邊的人都有自己的一套故事, 我們又了解多少?); 喜歡那隻暫時還未出現過的怪獸 (跟鬼眼的感覺很似, 看不到有時比看到更恐怖).
帶上隔音耳筒, 看得投入時, 總是察覺不到有人入了我的房間, 不止一次被嚇了一嚇.
希望這套劇不會虎頭蛇尾吧.

Nationalism
The boardening course Culture, Values and Meaning of Life talks about different topics every week. It is an assignment for us to write down some feeling and comments after each lecture. Just want to share some of my views here (and keep my blog alive at the same time-__-").
Please tell me if I make any grammartical or logical errors (I have poor English and writing skill). I will give you a piece of candy as reward. :)
Human being trends to inhabit in group and live with those people who have similar characteristics. It is because it is easier for us to communicate and interact with those who have same language, cultural, historical background, etc. As a result, a group of people who recognize a similarity among themselves and have a sense of cohesiveness can be regarded as a nation.
Each nation wants to govern its own territory. State can be formed to govern its own territory and government is the agent of the citizen to control and run the state affairs.
Nationalism is a people’s psychological attachment to a particular nation. It is a people’s identification with a nation, and their subjective belief that they have more in common with each other than they have with other people. Members of a nation need to offer their primary loyalty to the nation and its state.
In Chinese philosophy, nation is an extension of family. It is a virtue to offer our love to our family, nation, state and loyal to the emperor. Hong Kong people have been criticized to be lack of nationalism. One of the reasons is that we had long been under the control of a state, Britain, which is not our home state. Before 1997, we therefore can only claim we are Chinese. However, as Hong Kong at that time was not part of China, we lacked the opportunity to develop our sense of state, not even to say have a strong sense of nationalism.
Recent years, our government is trying to foster our sense of nationhood and values of nation through different means. I am not in any position to support or oppose these activities. However, I want to point out the objectives that our loyalty should offer to. The political system in China enable Communist Party enjoys the monopoly political power in China. It is sometimes reported in the newspaper that some officials from mainland say that Hong Kong people should support their nation, state and even the party. Nationalism provides us a sense of cohesiveness to protect and fight for the interest of our own nation and state. However, government is only our agent and political party is just a group that represents a particular political stand point of some of the citizens in our state. We can love, support and offer our loyalty to our nation and state, but not necessarily our government and any political party. We can criticize and even change our government through election if it is not running well. Blindly following the government’s directions is not a healthy form of nationalism as it can be easily utilized by some ambitious politicians to turn it into extreme nationalism which can bring disaster to the nation and even to the world. Nazi Germany is an obvious example.

"你還記得嗎?"
"不記得了..."
是什麼令她再致電給我? 我想是寂寞. 再次有種被需要的感覺, 告訴自己這只是因為她感到寂寞, 當她回到多采多姿的生活, 又會再留下我.
記得嗎? 記得又怎樣? 既然你都忘了的話, 又可必再問我? 有些事, 要別人提醒才記得的話, 就沒有什麼意思.
女孩子都很善忘.
