LATrip - DisneyLand
比較起UniversalStudio,風子比較喜歡DisneyLand的歡愉,我們由早上的十點多玩到晚上的八點前,行程相當的緊湊,雖然很多遊戲也要排長龍, 想和跳跳虎等拍照也要撞彩數, 衝上去拍埋去還要拍檔手勢好, 才可拍得靚靚照一張! 玩得盡興時連肚仔餓也忘得一乾二淨, 印象中吃過米老鼠雪糕三文治, 後來買了火雞腿席大街而坐, 晚間的精彩parade更為此行劃上句號!
這個video是parade尾場拍的, 站在我隔離的乃一鬼婆手抱一兩歲baby, 我想他應該很喜歡Donald Duck, 一見隻鴨就發傻咁大叫, Hey, Donald! Donald! Hey, Donald! Bye Donald ... ... ...

LATrip - Halloween Carnival
West Hollywood Halloween Carnival is the largest Halloween street party in the world. The Halloween Costume Carnival spans over one mile of historic Route 66 in the heart of West Hollywood and attracted over 0.35 million attendees. Many did prepare well and wore some of the most fun and unique Halloween costumes anywhere to outstand themselves either by group activity or one-man-band show. It’s fun though we just stood still and watched, and the taste of bacon hotdog sold at any corner of Santa Monica Boulevard was really nice. Thanks CS’s invitation and please find the attached for your information.

LATrip - Santa Monica III
係Santa Monica的海岸邊,就有著無數如圖的海鳥在海岸邊覓食糊口,當潮退時便一個箭步衝上去,忙著搵食搵食搵食!有時來不及吃一口，便濕了一身，白走了一場！哎呀,那討厭的潮水又來啦,走呀走呀走呀走呀走呀走呀~
如是者，潮漲潮退來來回回，見到的袛有這海鳥忙得不可開交，很是有趣！
回來了!
噢, 回來了! 時間過得很快, 咁又一個星期! 祗怪起行前太匆忙沒時間準備, 幾日的行程最終給我填得密密麻麻,連休息吃飯看電視睡覺的時間也給我用來工作, 經已很久也沒試過這樣子, 要跟周公子角力到凌晨一兩點, 那種狀況少點意志力也不行, 當中自有輸贏! 耐何就算我在角力上得到甜頭, 眠上了的腦筋卻是活躍的很, 一刻也沒停過下來! 這幾天腦筋好像連續數天沒眠沒休地工作, 那時沒什感覺, 事後才覺累得很! 安慰的是一切順利!

Song played by the street performer at Santa Monica

LATrip - Santa Monica I
Santa Monica is a coastal city located in western Los Angeles Country, California and front faces to the Pacific Ocean on the west. Though we just stayed in L.A. for few days, it definiately is a place that can’t be missed particularly so for those love sea like us. We didn’t spend much time walking around the streets in Promenade as others do, instead we sat at the Pier and enjoyed the good sunshine and song played by street performer. Really a nice weekday during the tight scheduled trip we were!!! It worth though one and a half hour of traveling time requires from the place we stayed.
For details of Santa Monica, please refer to Wikipedia.
見面聚聚？
每次和友人吃飯, 總是我update她最新狀況的時候,無他, 皆因她是那靈活悟性又高的雙子, 總不會因為何事而停留,當然包括人和事,走也走得很撇脫! 工作上每每耐不住由新鮮感到上了軌再到沉悶無趣, 若是去到雞肋的時候, 她走得比誰都快! 我們是兩個很不同的個體卻又相互明白, 風象思維相信也袛有風象才了解!
這一回, 她告訴我辭去了現在的工作, 十二月會在上海上班? 上海？加入某公司的上海分行!由interview到飛上去見官也袛是前後三數天, 如她一貫作風, 速度之快連她也覺得爽! 由agent轉做client再由香港打到上海, 果真是她本性! 她說要explore大中華的市場, 儲點這方面的子彈! 意見?她總是事後才問我意見! 決定了就去吧, 個人覺得份工應該會很有趣也具挑戰, 但香港和大中華乃兩個不同的市場, 著她花多點時間和心思, 多挨兩三年成效才會立見! 因為要走, 所以要見面聚聚？我笑笑說不定來年的飯局我們多在上海相聚呢 ~

離家出走?
離家出走?旅途中友人曾也問過 ～
友：有否興趣搵份工留下在這邊發展？
風：內部轉職乎？
友：也可以，對你來說這不難吧？
風：兩三年的轉變可以接受，但長期的，我找不出留下的理由或藉口！
友：試試不同環境工作, 那經驗和得著應該很好!
風：嗯,沒錯! 數年前我也是這樣想, 那時做了很多這方面的功課, 最後那裡也不去了! 現在? 暫時也不會考慮這個問題, 因為有些事是我更想做的!
友：若是日後有機會的,你最想去那裡呆?
風：不會是美國,也不會是加國,喜歡澳洲的自然,但更迷英國的濃濃書卷味!曾幻想過在那裡教教書,坐在户外那片草地做研究, 哈哈哈…
友：也可以呀, 俾d心機 :）

Leonid Meteor
Make your wish this weekend when a Leonid meteor shower lights up the sky.The annual Leonid meteor shower could produce a strong outburst this weekend for residents of the North America and Western Europe. A brief surge of activity is expected begin around 11:45 p.m. ET Saturday, Nov. 18. In Europe, that corresponds to early Sunday morning, Nov. 19 at 4:45 GMT. The outburst could last up to two hours. At the peak, people in these favorable locations could see up to 150 shooting stars per hour, or more than two per minute.

Trip in LasVegas V
The Grand Canyon is a very colorful, steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the U.S. state of Arizona. It’s really an exciting experience to pay her a visit in such close distance.

Impressed Words
A decision is a judgment. It is a choice between alternatives. It is rarely a choice between right and wrong. It is at best a choice between “almost right” and “probably wrong” – but much more often a choice between two courses of action neither of which is provably more nearly right than the other.
– Peter F.Drucker

Delusional Disorder
Due to an ad hoc incident, I have my posting plan changed in order to address the issue at the right time. Hope the piece offering some ideas to my neighbors the importance of mental health. DinDin, take care!
Delusional disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis denoting a psychotic mental illness that involves holding one or more non-bizarre delusions in the absence of any other significant psychopathology (signs or symptoms of mental illness). In particular a person with delusional disorder has never met any other criteria for schizophrenia and does not have any marked hallucinations, although tactile (touch) or olfactory (smell) hallucinations may be present if they are related to the theme of the delusion.
A person with delusional disorder can be quite functional and does not tend to show any odd or bizarre behaviour except as a direct result of the delusional belief. It is worth noting that the term paranoa was previously used in psychiatry to denote what is now called 'delusional disorder'. The modern psychiatric use of the word paranoia is subtly different but now rarely refers to this specific diagnosis.
The type of Delusional Disorder may be specified based on the predominant delusional theme:
Erotomanic Type: This subtype applies when the central theme of the delusion is that another person is in love with the individual. The delusion often concerns idealized romantic love and spiritual union rather than sexual attraction. The person about whom this conviction is held is usually of higher status, but can be a complete stranger. Efforts to contact the object of the delusion are common, although occasionally the person keeps the delusion secret. Most individuals with this subtype in clinical samples are female; most individuals with this subtype in forensic samples are male. Some individuals with this subtype, particularly males, come into conflict with the law in their efforts to pursue the object of their delusion or in a misguided effort to “rescue” him or her from some imagined danger.
Grandiose Type: This subtype applies when the central theme of the delusion is the conviction of having some great talent or insight or having made some important discovery. Less commonly, the individual may have the delusion of having a special relationship with a prominent person or being a prominent person. Grandiose delusions may have a religious content.
Jealous Type: The subtype applies when the central theme of the person’s delusion is that his or her spouse or lover is unfaithful. This belief is arrived at without due cause and is based on incorrect inferences supported by small bits of “evidence”, which are collected and used to justify the delusion. The individual with the delusion usually confronts the spouse or lover and attempts to intervene in the imagined infidelity.
Persecutory Type: This subtype applies when the central theme of the delusion involves the person’s belief that he or she is being conspired against, cheated, spied on, followed, poisoned or drugged, maliciously maligned, harassed, or obstructed in the pursuit of long-term goals. Small slights may be exaggerated and become the focus of a delusional system. The focus of the delusion is often on some injustice that must be remedied by legal action, and the affected person may engage in repeated attempts to obtain satisfaction by appeal to the courts and other government agencies. Individuals with persecutory delusions are often resentful and angry and may resort to violence against those they believe are hurting them.
Somatic Type: This subtype applies when the central theme of the delusion involves bodily functions or sensations. Somatic delusions can occur in several forms. Most common are the person’s conviction that he or she emits a foul odor from the skin, mouth, rectum, or vagina; that there is an infestation of insects on or in the skin; that there is an internal parasite; that certain parts of the body are definitely missphapen or ugly; or that parts of the body are not functioning.
Mixed Type: This subtype applies when no one delusional theme predominates.
Unspecified Type: This subtype applies when the dominant delusional belief cannot be clearly determined or is not described in the specific types.

「千人宴」這玩意既要人力也要物力才可成事! 風子也曾於大學裡參加過, 那時是在黃克兢平台上延開廿多席, 印象中有老中青三代, 不同學系年級同住一桌, 自我介紹住hall趣聞, 新舊逸事吹得天花亂墜, 還有那時很潮的「棟篤笑」, 扣除食物質素,那的確是很愉快的一晚! 是否有千人數字? Who Care?想不到這一回也來「千人宴」! 雖然坐在我旁的,連他是什麼國藉也未搞清楚,但那刻想到的是「匯聚」!這就是conference的原意所在!

Trip in LasVegas I
十多天的行程, 細細碎碎的事的確太多, 要盡錄的碓難倒風子, 而我也不在其位更不是合適人選去撰寫這幾篇遊記, 比我熟悉的blog界大有人在, 不想風子的亂語胡言嚇怕諸君! 不過風子的行程點滴就沒所謂! 跟來的數篇都是風子遊記也是一生活記錄!
程霜曾細心提點風子入住的酒店, 單人房浴室是沒有門的, 還有一道玻璃屏風間隔了卧與浴室!噢? 咁open? 風子的房裡的浴室有門也有窗,會否程霜太耐沒有來睹場玩, 最近的更改未來得及update吧? 後期工程?! 埋單時才發覺, 其所言未必是虛,皆因風子不自覺一直都是住緊雙人房! @.@~
人在外特別醒睡, 每天的晨四時人已很清醒, 反來轉去都袛是懶床, 可再眠的真是少之又少! 每早就是看著這一幕,等日出等天亮等開會,腦裡卻是一片白!

飛行中的思念
飛向何方在安靜的機艙 凝固的黑夜裡只見窗外的星光
不知道我身在何方 幾乎忘記幸福的長相
曾經快樂過的理由 現在微弱的像天邊閃閃星光
我還在回憶裡流浪 現在誰停在你的臂彎
耳機裡的感傷情歌 輕易的在黑夜裡讓我淚水盈眶
多少夜多少年 我才能走出思念的門檻
誰能取代與你擁抱時的溫暖 念念不忘
我還在回憶裡流浪 耳機裡的感傷情歌
輕易的在黑夜裡讓我淚水盈眶
多少夜多少年 誰能取代與你擁抱時的溫暖
念念不忘 誰能取代與你擁抱時的溫暖 念念不忘
歌手：劉若英 曲：袁明瑄 詞：姚謙 編：Derek Chua
