秋來秋去

十月尾的天氣早已是秋的季節,天朗氣晴的同時也夾著絲絲涼意,今早也不期然地懶在被窩裡, 開著的收音機唱個不停,忽然很想它放這一首舊歌,原來一年也近晚了!

曲: 熊美玲/林秋離 詞: 林振強 曲: 田村峻一

紅紅黃黃葉兒伴我窗 飄他方的你可有著涼
靜問為何是你使我等待 怎麼要千滴熱淚滴進我夢鄉
又是涼的秋　愁無盡的秋 知否當你遠去後　牽掛到倦透

秋來也秋去　秋風教人掉眼淚 何時才跟你可重聚
秋來也秋去　要到幾多歲 方信你與我早早告吹
秋來也秋去　千千片紅葉跌墜 如完成凄美的程序
秋來也秋去　我似秋空虛 只有信會跟你再共對

旁人常問何事要等 怎麼可一世不愛別人
自問若忘掉你　都算應份 可惜每當葉落便念你更深
背著人心酸　人如願相戀 推擋當世界再沒秋季再算

秋來也秋去　千千片紅葉跌墜 如完成凄美的程序
秋來也秋去　我似秋空虛 只有信會跟你再共對
秋來也秋去　我似秋空虛 只有信會跟你再共對

Be Mine

很久前在Pema那裡看見她鏡頭下的四葉草,很是可愛! 如她,我也有隨身拍攝的習慣,看見得意的,有趣的也會拍下來,圖像記錄有時真的勝過萬語千言!而我鏡頭下的它? 如下: 四葉草其實就是醡醬草,原產地歐洲! 醡醬草一般只有三片葉,葉片形狀呈心形,由於能找到四片葉子的機會率只有十萬分之一,所以自公元200年, 醡醬草已被國際公認為幸運的象徵,所以四片葉的醡醬草又叫幸運草! 幸運草的花語是 Be Mine, 而每片葉子也各有其代表的意思,分別為愛情 – Love, 名譽 – Fame, 健康 –Glorious Health,財富 – Wealth, 再加上四葉草的形狀酷似十字架,所以在歐洲從中古時期就一直流傳四葉草可以避邪驅鬼的傳說,這也為四葉草增添了幾分神秘色彩!

朋友,願你我也幸運,受其祝福!

How much is your blog worth?

從餘弦棧那裡看到這一個有趣玩意, 他的BLOG活色生香,竟一文也不值﹖咁我個BLOG平平淡淡又可值幾銀呢? 哈哈哈, 想不到我的日常鎖碎事,張張貼貼原來也很值錢的,看來我要加把勁再增值增值一下 :)

Theater of Pain

Every life has its journey: from born to grow, from grow to learn, from instinct to knowledge, from weak to strong, and from bottom to peak.

Imagine a tree starts its life from a seed. It starts to grow out of the soil, then grow roots, stems and leaves. The plant slowly depletes all the nutrients from the seed and will depend on its leaves to create photosynthesis to sustain its growth. It isn't an easy process. There are maybe a million chances that the process can go wrong and unable to complete its life cycle. Inherited defects and external dangers can make the growing process difficult and challenging. Eventually, the plant needs to depend on its stems and roots and leaves to withstand the tough environment. Without the thick and tough stems, it's likely the plant can not resist the unmerciful winds. Without the deep roots into the solid ground, it doesn't take a lot of water to be flooded away. The trees we are seeing everyday do not grow over night and probably only the trees themselves would know how many storms and floods and droughts and sicknesses they need to go through to become the ones that we are seeing.

The trees know better than us growing is never an easy process. Where the seed is dropped determines the rest of its life. Some trees might think wouldn't it be great if they can be grown in a greenhouse? Or wouldn't it be great if they can be taken care by a gardener. What is exactly the point to grow in a tougher environment whereas they need to go through all kinds of mishaps. Most importantly, what is the meaning of growing. Isn't it more simple just to be born as a tree as it takes forever to grow from a seed to a full size tree.

Let's say one day we become gardeners to grow trees. Some will be planted in the hill and some will be planted in the greenhouse. As time goes by, trees in the hill become dirty and tough but with strong stems and deep roots.

Trees in the greenhouse are clean and smooth but their growth are limited by the size of the greenhouse. However, life couldn't be better as long as it stays where it is.

Bad times come. The owner of the greenhouse goes bankrupted and the gardeners lose their jobs. All the trees from the greenhouse need to be replanted to the hill. Well they are the same trees coming from the same seeds so that there wouldn't be any problem, would it? The trees from the greenhouse start going through what the trees in the hill have been: suns, rains, droughts, winds, inserts, birds. Over time they all become dirty and tough. Some don't have strong stems are blown away by the storms. Some don't have deep roots are flooded away by the rains. Some decide to quit before either the storm or the rain comes.

After a while, the owner comes back to the town and reopens his business. He hires the same gardeners who used to work for him.

"We need some trees in our park" says the owner.
"Don't we used to be in the forestry industry and replanted all our trees in the hill?" the gardener replies.
"We can go back to the hill and replant them in our park again."
"That's a good idea!" the owner says "But we can only replant so many trees in the park"
"Let's pick the good ones." says the gardener.
"How do you know which ones are good?" the owner asks.
"The ones who have the strong stems and deep roots are" the gardener answers.

The final day, the gardeners go to the hill.
"Pick only the goods ones and leave the rest alone" one gardener is telling the others as they are marching towards the hill.

Open Day 2005

去年港大開放日，徐立之與一眾教職員等，齊齊「紆尊降貴」向來賓大派雪糕! 今日也是開放日，校長徐立之以一身中國服飾粉墨登場，與國際學生一起表演舞獅助興，真情對話，分享不同文化體驗，表現港大一直標榜具國際視野的形象。據悉徐校長穿著的乃私人珍藏的「陳年」長衫，可惜近年來港後心廣體胖，發福不少，以「肥嘟嘟」身材穿上中國長衫, 現最擔心稍一不慎有隨時「爆呔」的危機。

今早返校經過西翼,已是群情洶湧,黑壓壓的三五成群迫得水洩不通, 以前還可以扮青春拿新奇有趣的紀念品!現在?由西翼起到明華也沒有人理我,連宣傳單張也沒一張!難道他們知我是老鬼?哎,好灰咿~~

原本想拍一兩張照與大家分享,而家什麼mood也沒有了, 看看以前拍下的一些舊照算罷了!

風箏

作詞：陳昇 / 作曲：陳昇

因為我知道你是個容易擔心的小孩子
所以我將線交你手中 卻也不敢飛得太遠
不管我隨著風飛翔到雲間 我希望你能看得見
就算我偶爾會貪玩迷了路 也知道你在等著我

我是一個貪玩又自由的風箏 每天都會讓你擔憂
如果有一天迷失風中 要如何回到你身邊

因為我知道你是個容易擔心的小孩子
所以我會在烏雲來時輕輕滑落在你懷中
我是一個貪玩又自由的風箏 每天都會讓你擔憂
如果有一天迷失風中 要如何回到你身邊

貪玩又自由的風箏 每天都遊戲在天空
如果有一天扯斷了線 你是否會回來尋找我
如果有一天迷失風中 帶我回到你的懷中

因為我知道你是個容易擔心的小孩子
所以我在飛翔的時候 卻也不敢飛得太遠

孩子

作詞：陳昇 ／ 作曲：王豫民

孩子聽我說
忍耐別哭泣
要用更多的寬容
諒解人間所有對錯
有人以為贏了全世界
卻將悲傷留給最愛的人
你要學習照顧自己 懷抱感恩的心
你要學習忍耐別人 懷抱感恩的心

Happy Birthday to Me

導遊

阿比說自已是個不稱職的導遊，對香港的景點沒感興趣，我想我大概也如是吧! 平時我也是個懶活動的人，返工放工已成了生活的基本音符,星期六會將一星期的鎖事盡清,也只有星期天給我躲懶躲懶!在家看書,聽歌,行行企企,更多的是睡覺!看似無聊卻也很休閒! 女孩子喜歡的行街?我不熱衷也怕怕，買衣服我只走幾間，就是那幾間！很多路我也不行，亦少行，去旺角經常行錯路，去新界我一定要帶地圖冊！我想我也有少少路痴既跡象!

上一回有朋自遠方來，想帶佢去食點特色好東西，可惜碰上的全是不可的餐館，貴價又唔好味！帶佢去我熟悉的，怎知吃完轉頭肚仔已不舒服！算，我帶佢去澳門遊玩，參加了當地的半天遊，結果卻給人家賣豬仔，尾站時給遺棄在大三巴的牌坊下，到而家也唸唔明點會咁?朋人說：香港的食物麻麻, 澳門既人都麻麻,其實我不好意思告訴, 港澳都好好,只是我真的麻麻,是一不稱職的導遊!

如果香港旅遊業有我?哎,咁真是好麻麻了!

聽海

寫信告訴我今天 海是什麼顏色
夜夜陪著你的海 心情又如何
灰色是不想說 藍色是憂鬱
而漂泊的你 狂浪的心 停在哪裡

寫信告訴我今夜 你想要夢什麼
夢裡外的我 是否 都讓你無從選擇
我揪著一顆心 整夜都閉不了眼睛
為何你明明動了情 卻不敢靠近

聽 海哭的聲音 嘆惜著誰又被傷了心
卻還不清醒 一定不是我
至少我很冷靜 可是淚水 就連淚水也都不相信
聽 海哭的聲音 這片海未免也太多情悲泣到天明

寫封信給我 就當最後約定 說你在離開我的時候 是怎樣的心情

Sudoku

Recently just can’t help addict on this game. My dad picked up a local newspaper while flight boarding to Manila trip and there was a Sudoku game printed in inside page. Except those official traveling arranged by Travel agents and relative visiting, I got quite plenty time to kill during the last two days. I placed myself in a restaurant and fixed the game while others all gone to shopping in MEGA mall for a day. It’s my first time of trial and I solved it finally. Yup, it took quite a long time to make it but fun as well. You have your concentration fully while fixing it that somehow offers you a clean mind/heart without worries or doubts a moment.

Who would like to try? I have solution here! :)

Manila Trip 2005

四天假期,剛巧考試完畢,心情相對的好了很多,如期陪爸媽到馬尼拉走一趟,順道玩玩,也探探老爸口中的親戚! 這還是我們的頭一趟,人生路也不熟,最經濟也最實際的,跟團吧!

馬尼拉予我印象不過不失,一落機已經感受了那亞熱帶的休閒情懷,户外陽光明媚,椰林處處,在這裡好難看見高樓大廈,步伐也相對地調慢了許多,是休閒或是懶散?一線之差吧!竹風琴教堂 ,花車製造廠,國父黎剎紀念公園,聖地牙哥古堡,大高地火山 (眺望),聖奧格斯汀教堂,人妖show,華僑義山,美軍紀念墳場,MEGA MALL等等等等,不算太多,但我那腦袋已經忘掉了一大半,唯有以筆代勞,記下那點點滴滴!

沒辦法,這可算是我們跟團的習慣,一上車便是睡覺,到站便會自動醒來,若以時計算,這幾天睡的覺,足以彌補我考試溫習的腦累!另一主因乃導遊問題,一上車便不停介紹自費團,繼而不停地說三道四,香港娛樂圈秘史,謝xx之身世之謎,圈中四大xx,事後又自我吹噓,說我們太單純,這麼簡單的問題也不知道!哎,男人如是,真是八上八!

予我印象最深的是那一雙雙的黑眼睛和那髒兮兮卻瘦弱小手,在市區如馬尼拉,你可以隨地看見躺臥在街角的菲律賓人,衣衫襤褸,黑黑的皮膚下卻有雙大而美的靈魂之窗,每當有人路過時,便自然的伸出手來向路人乞討!在馬尼拉,生活於貧窮線下的為數不少,但縱然乞討,他們眼內總是找不到一絲為生活的憂愁,好像日子也就是這樣過著! 也許這就是其天生天養的樂觀性格使然吧!

On Holiday Break

星願

就是這麼的一個藍夜
有位可愛的訪客輕敲我窗
倚著濂窗獨自細語它的故事來

原來是那來自銀河系二八段的流星
隔著時與空的差距
不時偷窺這離方的一角落
想不到竟是這夜夜閃爍閃爍的燭光
暖透了那晶瑩的心窗

於是背起滿袋星光
暫別銀河系滿天星斗的家鄉
帶著那真與誠的祝福
踏著天龍座流星群的萬丈光芒
越過那億萬光年的漫漫長途
來到這似曾相識的人間
洒滿一地亮晶雨滴

為的袛是藉詞相告
心與心的連繫思與念的相依
本就是最真摰的愛
又何須相互猜度
愛的種子早就散在你我心田
人間就是愛和希望

這夜星光特別燦爛
萬里無雲的夜空不再是寂寥
如你所言
今夜似乎格外芬芳
此情此境
你我又怎捨得忘卻?

火柴人的故事

流星雨

怎樣這夜大家也賦起新詩來?

難道是那來自億萬光年的訪客

透著天龍座流星的光芒

悄悄地劃過寂靜夜空

洒滿一地的亮晶雨滴

藉詞告訴你我

思念就是那恆常不變的定律

伴著無數的祝福

越過時與空的枷鎖

在你的心田註下了思和念種子?

教你忘了,也教你忘不了

天長地久

國際台《國家地理雜誌》關於皇帝企鵝的紀錄片。

雌性企鵝在產卵之後，會把卵交給她的伴侶，然後出發覓食，一方面補充懷孕產卵時丟失的體力，另一方面，用來哺育日後破殼而出的孩子。雄性企鵝把他們的孩子，那個卵放在雙腳的腳背上，站在冰天雪地開始了漫長的等待。

在那片茫茫無際的苦寒之地，雌性企鵝去海洋覓食，一來一回需時四個多月。她的伴侶就一直站在原來的地方，等啊等，等啊等，沒有誓言，沒有承諾，沒有婚書，有的，只有彼此間心無旁騖的信任：無論我去多久，你一定在那兒等我，直至死亡。無論你去多久，一定回來找我，不會拋夫棄子跟人走佬，除非死亡把你帶走…

多麼浪漫，多麼堅貞，也許，所有天長地久的愛情故事，恰恰與追逐天長地久的人類無緣。

- 高慧賢/5Oct05 –

備註: 以前知道企鵝便是一名稱, 原來名字背後有著那一段鮮為人知的感人故事!以前我相信有情者天長地久也,現在已教我不敢去相信, 如豬八誡所言: 天長地久也有時盡, 此恨綿綿卻無絕期! 若你不寄望天長地久, 或許可以活得坦然自在!

To a friend of mine

Sad that I can't do anything to comfort you while your difficult time. Just want to let you know you are cared and blessed no matter what, and there still lots of people around stand with you in time of need. You aren't alone really!

Have faith this storm will pass soon.

To Ruth&James

where there is love
there is a beauty
that cannot be described

a strength
that cannot be broken
a joy that cannot be surpassed

for where there is love
there is God
best wishes on your marriage

勁過暉春

勁過勁過 考試勁過 工作繁忙 不讀也過
日日辛勤 當然勁過 貼過暉春 怎會唔過
無論如何 一定要過 我已勁過 阿比圓圓你地也要勁過 !

如果愛

他和她經常熬電話粥，給對方發送窩心的短訊、電郵。他們不時相約看電影、聽演唱會，也試過一起上深圳按 摩。當他生病了，她會到他家探望；當她心情遭透，他不介意在凌晨時分出門，駕車載她去吹吹風。他們曾經擁抱，曾經睡在同一張床；他們沒有吻過，沒有愛撫過。他們不曾跟對方說愛，他們或許是在談情，可所談的「情」到底是愛情還是友情，無從稽考。

直至有一天，當另一個男人闖進了她的生命，淡然的他一反常態，不斷追問她跟男人的事情。「這個男人不是好東西。」他賣力地替她分析。「這個男人對你沒半點認真。」他勸誡她別接受男人的追求。然而她不聽，她開始和男人約會。

這個深夜，男人送她回家，與她挽手漫步到家樓下，他忽然從一旁跳出，扯拽她的另一隻手，瞪視男人嚷道：「她是我的女人！」複雜的表情爬上她的臉，她罵他發神經，他專橫地說：「我不准你跟其他男人交往！」她問為甚麼，他深吸一口氣，說：「因為我愛你。」她一臉厭煩，掙脫開兩個男人的手，快步略過他們朝大廈走去，臉上掛笑容。

因為害怕愛錯，因為情人這稱號份量非輕，所以縱使天賜佳偶，不少時候，我們仍猶豫不決。以為來日方長，以為雙方早有默契，直至第三者出現，我們才覺醒自己無名無份，根本不擁有對方。不是每個人都像他一樣幸運，力挽狂瀾，最怕猝不及防，狂瀾已經登岸。，如果可以愛，請勿優柔寡斷，馬上對她說愛。

The Sound Of Music

What a wonderful show it is? Last night joint with my friend together and enjoyed a terrific musical opera “The Sound of Music”, the one that I have watched many times via TV show since young! As I mentioned before it will be conducted in Hong Kong during the period of 23Sept to 23Oct 2005. The live performance of artists is really great that won numerous applauses from audiences. The kids are indeed cute and lovely as well showing no wondering and startling at all.

Many scenes were impressed really but I love the one that the captain stood on the stage and held his guitar with family members around. Audience kept quiet in the theatre but a huge logo of Nazi was posted as a background. What an irony? The captain held his guitar tightly and started to solo sorrowfully……

Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me!

Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me!

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever!

It’s nice really. Highly recommend here. :)
