放榜

今日係放榜日子, 新學制下的公開考試, 明顯係一試定生死. 考得到的, 固然開心, 恭喜可夠資格入讀香港的大學, 考不到的, 不開心是必然, 感到灰心亦係必然. 但事實已定, 人要生活, 人生如何, 下一步要怎樣行, 就一定要想想. 我的經歷, 不代表什麼, 只不過係我一個小小的故事, 想和大家分享, 十幾年後今日再回想, 究竟讀書所謂何事? 而人生又係什麼一回事?

這個, 亦係我想尋找的.

小學時, 當年中學派位, 能入讀華仁, 其實真係無什麼感覺, 開心的只係父母. 當年第一志願選華仁, 純是因為我自己擲骰決定. 當年第一志願, 家母最後決定在三間名校中選一間, 分別係華仁, 英華, 和伊利沙伯. 我在三間之中, 其實都不知哪一間好, 最後尾決定由天主決定(當年因讀天主教小學, 那時係非常信天主的, 但無受洗過), 最後華仁係以三個六18點成功成為我的第一志願, 那就讀了.

但入到去, 由於當時係雲集了其他各校的精英關係, 加上是中文小學出身, 英文和其他由英文小學出來的無得比. 加上小學考第一的成績, 純係籐條下迫出來, 一到中學開始感受到自由, 自然放懶. 結果第一學期試的成績, 當然差, 但至少全部合格, 好在都無去到全班第尾, 只係在中下的位置.

我好記得當年班主任同我講過一句話: “你這樣的成績, 入大學係天方夜譚. 哈哈!”
“哈哈!”這兩個字當然係我自己後加, 但我這一世都會記著這句話[1].

河流?河流!

網上有文, 曰, 河流為何彎彎的流?
對曰, 河之彎彎, 乃係因前有山石地型阻路, 順勢而行也.
為人之道, 如河一樣, 需順勢而行, 方能順利到達終點, 入海去也.

乃一半正確, 雖河流因地勢而彎彎的流, 但河水之侵蝕作用, 能改造地型, 正所謂滴水可穿石;
河流, 亦會取其易出海之道, 而侵蝕作用, 其目的是為日後能更易前進.
為人之道, 原理相同, 有時需順勢而行, 但不可因順勢而行, 而忘了自己的目的、理想, 時要努力改進, 堅持, 乃為開闢更易出海之道.
另, 雖地勢頑固, 但假以時日, 必被改變. 因此人必需心存正道, 假以時日, 必能改變別人, 走向善之道.

心の瞳

心の瞳

作詞:荒木とよひさ
作曲:三木たかし

心の瞳で 君をみつめれば
愛することそれが どんなことだか
わかりかけてきた
言葉で言えない 胸の暖かさ
遠回りをしてた 人生だけど
君だけがいまでは
愛のすべて 時の歩み
いつもそばで わかち合える
たとえあしたが少しずつ 見えてきても
それは 生きてきた 足あとがあるからさ
いつか若さを失くしても 心だけは
決して変わらない絆で 結ばれてる

夢のまた夢を 人は見てるけど
愛することだけは いつの時代も
永遠のものだから
長い年月を 歩き疲れたら
微笑なげかけて 手をさしのべて
いたわり合えたら
愛の深さ 時の重さ
何も言わず わか合える
たとえ過去を懐かしみ ふり向いても
それは 歩いてた 人生が あるだけさ
いつか若さを失くしても 心だけは
決して変わらない絆で 結ばれてる

愛することそれが どんなことだか
わかりかけてきた
愛のすべて 時の歩み
いつもそばで わかち合える

心の瞳で 君をみつめれば

Les Miserables

I just bought the iPod records of Les Miserables from the iTunes a few days ago. One is the 10th Anniversary concert version, and the other is the Motion Pictures version. And I think the 10th Anniversary one is better than the Motion Pictures one.
Les Miserables is the one and only the one musical that I saw in 2004 in London. Full of memories recalling back when I saw the movie of Les Miserables. There was a little sad story to show how I was so stupid in love…
I always said if you were in London, even though you don’t like music or classical music, you should go to watch Les Miserables at least.
In fact, I bought 2 tickets at that time and want to invite the girl I love to go together to watch. But I finally gave up because of the lack of courage…And then finally went to the show on my own… Wasted a 50 pound ticket…
I am still a very stupid boy at the moment, no improvement for so many years… The story I haven’t told to anyone until now, even my friends in London didn’t know the story as well…
But at this moment, I have to face my dark history in my past to improve myself…

Hiking in Hong Kong

After raining for a few weeks, Today is a nice day for hiking, a bit dry, cool and cloudy but a bit sun light sometimes day. My favourite route is the Violet Hill route in Hongkong Island at this moment. It is short, just two and a half hours, have very nice views, and have so many steps of the trail which could help me to train up my muscle, lungs and heart. At the end of the route, I could go to Stanley for my rest, walk along the coast with coffee, coke or beer and enjoy the sea views. There are quite a lot foreigners hiking on this route, including British, French, German, American and Japanese, most of them are working in Hongkong and some of them had been in Hongkong for more than 10 years.

I met an very nice old gentleman who is British and had been in Hongkong for 44 years. He also walked alone, just like me. We met at the Peak of Violet Hill and chatted for a while as I was having my lunch. He loves hiking and Hongkong is a very nice place for hiking, just an hour or less than an hour travel, you can visit any kind of hills with nice views. And so he choose Hongkong as his home. He had travel to many countries for hiking in the past 50 years since he was 17. He had been to Africa, South America, the Rockies, the Himalayas… Lots of hills in the world may have his footprints. Nepal is the country he like the most.
He said that the Nepalis are very pool but they are very happy. Nepal is the happiest country in the world. He enjoys the times with Nepal as you could feel their happy and makes you happy. You will ask question on yourself “Is money really the most important thing in your life?” And he also said when you in Nepal, you could see the cloud along the mountains. It is the most beautiful view he had ever seen.

I would like to find sometime to go Nepal. To see the view as he told me before. Although I have so many countries want to go as well…

I enjoyed my trip today and it had refresh up my mind. I had learnt a lot.
Money? What the hell.
Love? What the hell.
I am what I am. Nepal, may be my next target. Of course, I have to plan my India trip 1st on the March 2014…
I wish this kind of thinking could last for more than 1 day or week…
