    跛足的夜

     

     

    一場完滿的婚宴

       成就一次穿梭時空的約定

    還有一幀可能是

       我倆最後的合照

     

    情願那句是醉漢的話

       讓我的手心顫動

    讓我剩下這

       一條跛了足的匙

     

    那一晚

       我為你笑為你哭

    為你,從心高興

       真的

    Made in Macau

    第一次看澳門的本土製作,是期待已久的「堂口故事」"Macau Stories",在此回味一下。

    堂口故事」是由土生土長的五個導演分別製成的五個小電影。它們好像都有一個共同的中心思想:改變。對,就是奧巴馬口中的 ChangeWe need Change。這個 Change need 與否,我不能肯定;但對我而言,澳門的變遷肯定是彷如隔世,只是從而想到自己的改變:筆記本中的塗鴉是童年,成年偶把喜愁寄托於杯中物,啥時候我也需要一支耐人尋味的盲公竹呢...  而那就在身旁的三盞燈,更令我哽咽。

    另外,有位好朋友正主持一個音樂節目 "Música Movimento" (broadcast every Sunday 8pm),雖在 TDM 的葡語頻道播出,但他卻很用心的找來各個地方的音樂。驚喜的是他帶來本澳歌手周佩英(Priscilla Chau),歌聲悅耳,比鄰阜的所謂歌手好聽耐聽得多。

    給我們的杜蘭

    回來了一段日子,毎天都發現新人新事物。
    重遇了他,他跟他。
    感謝澳門的小,讓我們碰上。
    還回味著那天在十字路口的四目交投,
    我們,如一棵蔥。
     
    阿嫲他們見得比較多,大家都很好,
    讀書的讀書,工作的工作,健康健康。
    芳姐,美娜和阿粉只碰過一次,也不錯。
    周棋開始執教,應該也挺喜歡做自己的專長吧。
    邱生也身體壯健,過著每天抱孫的退休生活。
     
    那天回去看校運會,紀錄紙上還有你的名字,
    哈哈,我的在去年便被小邱師妹除名了,也好。
    快要又離開,挺不捨的。
    不過不會忘記,我們
    活在同一天空下,而你
    在天上快樂的看著我們。
     
    大家都過得很好,勿念。
     
    想你的
         潔儀

    Cinema Paradiso 《新天堂電影院》

    Life isn’t like in the movies. Life is much harder.
    – Alfredo, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso

    I may not have watched many movies in my life, but this one is absolutely my favorite of all. No substitute, no equivalent. It only lies simplicity & magic.

    Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (1988) continuously touches my heart whenever it takes me back to the Sicilian village in Italy shortly after the WWII. By saying it “takes me back” is because I truly feel that I grew up in that unique small village while fixing my eyes in the screen. Yes, I was there.  


                            cinema_paradiso__1                   post-721675-1186233206

    Without Hollywood superstars & special effects, Cinema Paradiso also shows the life of a Projectionist. Alfredo likes using film quotes to converse with Salvatore, yet I was touched by the words from him, to work as a Projectionist “you work like slave, always alone”. Working as this role for three years, I feel so engaged and share his feelings so much.

    The little projection box is my private world. Here, long working hour allows me to muse, and I try not to screw things up (e.g. dropping the film reels on the floor, burning the celluloid, or even showing the film upside down), be a technician when the film do get messed up for some reason, be a teacher if we are lucky enough to have volunteer trainees, most of all, to show the film and move the audience is my greatest reward… ha, I talk too much. Blame me coz I’m a woman.  J

    Be passionate to what and who you love. Be proud of who you are. Be grateful to what you have experienced in life and be exciting what life lies ahead. I’m thankful that my life is pretty rich and half full. I’m going for my other half. What about you, my friend?

     

    P.S. There is a Hong Kong movie called “Mr. Cinema” which also tells a story about a Projectionist and 40 year history in the region.

    生活並非如電影,真正的人生舞台著實更難演繹。 
    – Alfredo《新天堂電影院》

     可能,我一生中沒有看過很多的電影,但這一部絕對是我最鐘情的。喜愛它的簡潔和魔力,繞樑我心,揮之不去。

     每次看《新天堂電影院》(1988) ,都會把我帶回到二次大戰以後,意大利的一條西西里村落裏。我說「把我帶回」是因為這種穿越時空、置身當地的感覺真正地令我彷如隔世,並觸動每根心弦。對,我曾駐足那兒。

      沒有荷里活明星,沒有特別效果,《新天堂電影院》卻道出了一個電影播片員的一生。Alfredo喜歡以電影對白來跟小Salvatore對話,說到我最喜愛的一句就莫過於:作為一個播片員,工作如奴隸,並經常單獨一人。由於自己在此行工作過三年的關係,對此番話覺得尤其窩心。

     CinemaPara01 這動作我做過 n次了,還偷剪了不少喜歡的片段

     這小小的播片室是我的私人世界。獨立工作讓我有空沉思,當然期間我盡量不搞亂當,例如把電影卷不掉在地上(要是掉了的話可以做死人)、播片時把膠片barbecue掉(試過一次了,幸好沒有把過百萬的機器燒掉)、甚至把電影倒轉來播(強吧,我試過三次了,各位去電影院時肯定沒試過吧,一定O哂嘴);走運有自願者的話,就當個老師咯。不過,最令我感到值得的是可以用自己雙手把一套又一套的電影播出,感動觀眾...哈,可能說太多了,誰叫我是女人? 動畫快遞

    熱愛你所愛,為自己自豪,對生活感恩,為前路的未知而興奮。對於自己多彩的生命旅程,我亳無怨言。當然,這旅程還要再走下去的,我會繼續找尋那一片未知的色彩,填滿我心。朋友們,你呢?

     

    補充一點,港產片《老港正傳》故事也是以電影播片員為主,道出香港40年的歷史變遷,也值得一看。

    The happy picture

    It finally came today The happy family picture That I'd been dreaming for years Not a punch, just a pump Try to look carefully Try not to miss a face Try to squeeze my smile Try not to lose my grace Its the happy family picture Its like the sunny day Its the mare in the night I had no say as it finally came today

    a saturday night in Macau

    Working on a Saturday is good, with less people, feeling a drop of tranquility. After a hard day's work, one night crawling in four locations, not easy, but meeting old and new mates, priceless.

    Good thing about Macau is that most karaoke places tend to stay in one area, so if you go from one to another it wouldn't take much time. I first went to Station with my running folks, one of them was having his birthday. Its always good to meet up, telling news of each other. I like being with you guys, taking it easy and even though I think it makes more sense to just take one of us all, its fun to see you all keep taking pictures in the first half an hour at least!!!

    IMG_0270   IMG_0255

    Then I moved on to Theme. 其實,一直都想跟你們幹點什麼的,因為相對其他同輩來說,你們是比較癲的一群,讓我這隻走失的羊兒回群吧。

    ﹣﹣阿生,想不到你唱功還不俗耶,要多點跟你合唱才行,還要記住我們唱的第一首歌。大叫大嚷的你好可愛。

    ﹣﹣阿韻,升級成為媽媽的你比以前更閃更亮,還請指教一招半式!

    ﹣﹣阿pat,哈,第一次這樣叫你,中學以來我們都沒怎麼交談過,有幸再會。

    ﹣﹣lulu阿達,可惜時間太短,沒有機會跟你詳談。想知你近況啊。記得第一次認識你時是小學時候了,是參加歌唱比賽,聽着你們唱的那首高山青,記憶猶新,當然,你們已是上屆冠軍,我那時才傻傻地唱著那小小羊兒要回家,拿個優異奬,就是安慰奬咯。你呀,唱歌還是一樣投入、動聽。

    ﹣﹣阿熾,發福了的你不減當年風範,不過才剛發現原來你有點像哥哥。

    Funny thing is, I never actually went Karaoke with all of you before, running folks, high school mates. Isnt it destiny that we should just do it sooner or later? Lets sing it out loud, yes, h y s t e r i c a l l y.

    Next, MGM Pool Bar, it's a German Beer Festival. You could see a sea of people, drinking dancing hugging kissing, very busy. It's a pretty huge open area, so sure you also could find a corner to have a chat with a friend, no probs. Upon arrival, TDM colleagues stationed there already, like welcoming me, hehe..  I didn't really know who was gonna be there, so its great to see them, always great. And its good to be with colleagues without work, easier to see whom we are.

    Never forget my documentary partner Eloy. By seeing me, "Now I know why your Colombian boyfriend is crazy about you". Thank you, what a compliment. I guess women like being sexy sometimes, while other times cute, girly, formal, casual, humble or outstanding. Changing is good, it refreshes you and others' eye balls, no matter its good or bad looking, depends on people's taste and as long as you feel good, make it a change.

    -- Karrie, I always wanna go out with you. Hope your teeth get better and we hang out. Lets find some time to spend together. Be the shining stars.

    -- My ex-colleagues Adriana and Emma. We never call each other out, but there we go. We bump into each other here and there. Yeah, lets go dance-ing.

    -- Victor, you always appear whenever I invite you out, so nice (I admit that I should've said yes to you more!). I know you don't drink, in this so-called beer festival you still came, what else can I say?

    -- Jordie Mac, eres imperdonable (mira, encontre la palabra para ti)!!  Tienes que cantar por mi mil veces!!!

    -- Ah, don't forget Ayi Jihu the star. Thanks for remembering me this little potato. Pretty lady, looking forward to seeing your Star 24 in TDM channel!

    Last but not least, D2. Honestly, I hardly go to disco in Macau, as I don't particularly like it now and usually after the bar is enough for me. But this time with Adri, just go and check it out. The 2 ladies and man were dancing & playing with fire, I was a bit afraid actually, really wanna find out where to escape.  One of the ladies was very sexy in my opinion, wearing dark lace and OMG, such a nice ass. I told my friends and they (male) thought I were les… COME ON, can we not learn to appreciate anything that simply pleasant to eyes?  This lady later came up and danced next to me. I didn't hesitate and just told her that "Hey, you look very sexy, very nice". And she was then saying thanks, with a big big smile.

      If you could make people happy just by saying a few words, why not?

    國慶的腳印:

     

    腳印1

    晨早六時許參與一年一度的國慶跑,父母也來看,記得上年跑的時候是n年後久休復出的處女比賽,還碰上久未碰面的前度戀人,叫他時看他的反應以為不認得我了。今年碰不上了,不知道他在幹啥呢。  還好,經過一年的間中式訓練,這次跑了個十三,意頭還是不錯的。及後與跑會之友吃早餐,跑後早餐對我來說是最高享受,應該好好獎勵一下自己,首先來個維記奶(走三聚青胺)+腩麵,感覺不夠飽滿,再來一奶茶加花生奶多,讓自己“奶”個夠。

     

    腳印2

    近來忙做一個有關天台的紀錄片,跟拍擋又去做訪問了。這次是一個在澳大執教的社會學家,一位肚子像裝了至少三個排球的美國人,說小城的空間有限芸芸。旅遊局說,澳門,就是與別不同。這話兒不假,明明是人所共知的“非法”天台建築物/僭健物,就是不會有人去破壞這種已有的傳統及寧靜,花園、動物園、住房、溫室、廚房,用處出人意表,應有盡有。在此不多賣關子了,慢慢等待製成品的到來吧。

     

    腳印3

    趕回家喝媽子的住家湯,再去跟阿嫦及joao去遊行。這次是什麼職工盟發起的,為的又是加人工。搞笑是由於香港傳媒也來湊熱鬧,在場記者比示威人士要多! 唉,工人們,要知道我才是那個最需要加人工的那位啊,荷包快乾枯了。上次那些工務員遊行,又是為加薪。天呀,擁有340的你們還要說加到650,我這個小記還有話說嗎?!  做呀做,寫呀寫,錄呀錄,再主播一下,一天的工作該完了吧。

     

    腳印4

    再去去旅遊塔,支持一下herb herb,一上台的他就是變成了原來的他,唱歌真好,聽歌更好。感覺自己很幸運,身邊的朋友唱功都如此了得,也容易點往自己臉上貼金,呵呵。謝謝阿生的相伴,有你這個朋友,無得彈。在旅遊塔下的這邊廂與那邊廂的火樹銀花嘉年華看煙花是兩個世界,那邊就是人多,舞台表演有點土,不過氣氛還是可以;這邊廂多牛鬼,有步飛桌椅供欣賞煙花,連爆爆聲也特別響亮,也許,是心理作用吧。herb herb的女兒們都很漂亮,尤其是混血兒的她一說那口流利的廣東話就特別可愛。

     

    腳印5

    以為完。給叫到去鏡湖附近的pub,之前與santi光顧過一遍,感覺很不俗的,於是心血來潮又去了。又一個驚喜,碰到夏仲美,便談起當年跑步的小事,問問當年朋友的近況,沒見十多年,她還是那麼美,是名字的作用嗎? 零晨二時許,終於可以在床上灘屍了。

    Ka Ra 永遠 Okay

    Days ago, was talking to a friend on msn. He said they were throwing a party that night in Guangzhou. It seemed some of my good friends from Uni would go... and it happened to be my day-off, How could I resist?! ;)

    So I made the crazy idea of going there for a night... no... just for THE night.

    Besides eating, here we comes the most popular way of gathering in China: Karaoke.

    Whenever I'm in karaoke places, I serious have no idea what to sing. New songs? Almost dunno any. Old songs? Sinki, are you giving a classic songs concert?

    Yeah, why not? I love singing, even though I dunno many pop songs. I even love being a listener, I love seeing you guys singing with eyes closed, mouth opened, playing with the rhythm. You guys are the best singers (inc. my Star :>). My dear friends, I'm so proud.

    Life sometimes could be stumbling, just throw to us whatever its choking you. Money could be a problem, responsibility is a huge thing, love needs both to be realized... but there we go, sitting in the bar corner, drinking with face red, singing out loud, speaking out the shit-est thing that stuck in your mind, remembering there's always a shoulder to lean on. Lets keep it like this...

    I didnt wanna go. And I dont wanna leave. 

    So why not kara okay til the end of the world.

    April 29

    Here we are

    Can you hear? There's a whisper in the air
    Can you feel that a new heart is beating?
    Each drop runs down to the end of the river
    Where the past and the future are one

    Some may sail to the ends of the world
    But no matter how mighty their journey
    Every stranger they meet Will tomorrow be a brother
    Some have died for a wish to be free
    Some at war, some for no crime or reason
    Every tear falling down helped the world tell it's story

    Every life's another drop in the ocean
    I'm a drop in the ocean, drop of emotion
    I'm a part of the ever changing tide
    I can rise up as rain I can fall down like thunder I can touch every shore
    Join together every nation
    All it takes is just a drop in the ocean...
    April 08

    心誌

      GetAttachment

     

    本來就是走得好好的

    行象成田, 開車如箭

    兵行險著, 遇強越強

     

    一萬九千七百種法子

    去到那處, 回到這兒

    飄到那邊, 想到哪裡

     

    不知道的未來而奔走

    意志堅定, 縱然如此

    總要我停, 總要我命

     

    讓我騎這可惡的老虎

    馴順不了, 了了無期

    讓我徘徊, 讓我難下

     

    向一個沒有人的世界

    請鬆開手, 請放下心

    夕陽西斜, 心自飄至

    聊一下

    IMGP3565               IMGP3713
     
    也有好久一段日子沒在這冒泡了.  無他, 皆因都被 FACEBOOK 如鴉片般每天吸了一大把時間過去, 好像是一片每天都有新鮮刺激的天地, 但是不是自己已經成為鴉片受害者? 不能否認, 差不多.
     
    其實也真是挺無聊的. 現也在這為班助助長一下無聊風氣, 哈哈.
     
    1. 和以前的戀人還會保持聯繫嗎?
    是朋友的話, 當然啦! 還要兩脇插刀(老實說, 可以的話最好不用啦)!
     
    2. 你覺得一個人成熟的標誌是什麼?
    標誌是可以抽象的吧.  本人認為, 成熟是有自信, 讓自己讓人覺得有安全感.
     
    3. 如果有人喜歡你,你希望那人直截了當告訴你;還是搞曖昧,互相考察;或者別的方式…… 
    "如果有人喜歡我"...  這假設於我來說太真實了, 世界上有很多這種人... 呵呵...  還是看我喜不喜歡吧,  而每種表逹方式都有其正點之處... 不用說大家也明白的 ... ; )
      
    4. 說出你自己的三個優點。
    自己說自己的優點? 不是吧. 硬要三個的話應該是: 經常想笑, 成日會笑, 最想傻笑! 不要笑啊, 會這些的可是一種天賦, 我是從各個環境中訓練出來的.
     
    5. 你最希望從朋友(不包括愛人)那裡得到的是什麼? 
    認同. 對此為人人平等!
     
    6. 你最想帶我(點你名的人)去什麼地方?為什麼?
    不用帶帶聲啦, 又不是3歲. 想飲茶就飲茶, 想聊天就聊天啦, 還要問原因! 笨
     
    7. 2008年的願望。 
    2008的生日過了...  最緊要開心! Yeah, 大家咁話.
     
    8. 最近最快樂的事情是什麼
    有工開咯!
     
    9. 你現在最困惑的是什麼?
    為何我完全沒有何生說的那副蓮子蓉的面口? 這的確非常困惑...
     
    10.遇到喜歡的人,你是勇敢表白還是默默關注?
    就說一句不難: 我喜歡你, 我們做朋友啦!
     
    11.說出點你名的人的3個優點(不可刪除題)
    高, 靚, 正.
     
    12.心情不爽的時候你經常會幹嘛?
    啥都沒所謂, 反正大腦及內分泌會自動調節.
     
    13.你會因為什麼理由選擇不跟你愛的人在一起? 
    除外在因素, 應該沒理由at all.
     
    14.你腦中的幸福是一個什麼樣的呢?
    只有現在.
     
    15.你愛一個人的理由是什麼? 
    腦袋愛上了就愛了.
     
    16.你現在最想擁有的是什麼?
    應該是更為高強的語言能力, 助我勇闖天下.
     
    17.春天來了,你出遊有計劃嗎?去哪兒?
    最快的是去天津咯, 其實一年四季都有計...
     
    18.說出你覺得最有男人味或者女人味(異性)的人物(真實或虛構皆可),理由是什麼? 
    男的是男朋友. 理由亦不用多說咯, 呵呵
    女的是自己... 不要問理由...

    19.
    你覺得在一份感情中,理智和激情應各占多少比例?
    一份感情最理想為兩份分. 而理智與激情最好一半一半啦, 不行就不要強人所難了.
     
    20. 請說出你印象最深刻的尷尬的事情
    最深刻的尷尬的也是最好笑的...
     
    事件簿名稱: 愚人節勇字斗一番
    男主角: 星ほしさん
    男配角: 欠奉
    女主角: シンキ (不要說不啊,始終開口的是俺耶, はは~~)

    Her moment of Life

    IMGP2754IMGP2763

     

    It was Her moment of life;

    It was an unbelievably touching moment;

    It was a scene that I’ve known from TV series and movies and fotos of friends;

    Yet, it was my first time.

     

    終於等到這天的來臨。 雖自初中跟她便有種難以言喻的友情,但有時會自覺像她媽,因為一想到要把她交到她的那個人的時候,就會有種快樂有淚之感;或在大家平靜地欣賞他倆的故事時,會獨自紅了眼;其實說白了,就是知道她能找到如意郞君,在神經和淚線的化學作用下總讓我控制不了。姐妹們,不要被我的 過激行為嚇親啊,要知道我可是淚不由己的。

     

    It all happened like a flash. Junior high, senior high, University, and now post-Uni time, we’ve been turning new pages of our life one after another, today especially Hers. I used to think that it’d be mine first, but life appears to like putting her on that path now, so there she goes. Lucky her. And honestly I always think she’s like some kind of extinguishing animal (for sure I’m not talking about extinguished one like dinosaur), so there he comes. Lucky him.

     

    So there they meet, there they fall, there they spread their wings.

     

    他們這邊廂在黑沙環的高層開闢了一片新天地,我卻朝著那邊廂的麥德林方向進發。現在是怎樣的感覺? 感覺這回就是要乘嫦娥十號到月球去;就是要踏上更漫長的朝聖之路去洗滌身心;就是一種緊張、興奮,害怕卻充滿期待,很復雜的感覺。當日在朝聖時雖以聖地亞哥之名的聖城為目的地,但事後卻發現那片聖地才是自己生命的出發點。像新生、再生、重生一樣,英語最簡單,一個reborn便代表了我的感覺了。

     

    No one knows what’s lying ahead, but I believe there is someone I wanna meet, I wanna fall for, I wanna spread my wings with. So Santiago, here I come again.

    Macau International Marathon 2007

    IMGP2708IMGP2721

     

    After the half marathon 2002, I managed to enter this annual big event in Macau again.

     

    Runners were already everywhere at 5:45am outside the stadium in Taipa when I got there, stretching their arms and feet. Macanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese, British, African and many more were the evidence of stating the Marathon is a universal language that links us together.

     

    You could tell who was running what from their race number, A for full marathon 41.195k, B for half, C for mini. I noticed there was a new technology of what it’s called “ChampionChip” to mark your own running time, which you don’t have to register before running, saving a lot of time for queuing!

     

    After years’ absence in this kind of event, I wouldn’t risk my life for another half marathon again (coz I might faint in the middle of nowhere!). So this time I aimed for 5k only for the mini, like turning a new page for my life for running. I was warming up with a student from my same high school, Wong, whom I saw as the 10-year-ago sinki – a little, thin, tanned girl but full of passion, ambition and determination.

     

    Okay let’s back to the track. The Macau International Marathon kicked off at half six this morning. Everyone started slowly with joyful cheers, clapping and holding up their hands at the non-stop flashes. I loved this scene, and I loved to be part of it.

     

    The weather was almost perfect for marathon runners, warm with breezy wind. The first k I was trying to duck and dive, also inevitably hearing conversations.

     

    -“Wow, you are running half marathon today, what’s wrong with you?”

    -“Yes, (coz I have) heart attack.”

     

    -“Your belly seems to be gone.”

    -“Yeah, this is the best class for losing weight.”

     

    After finishing half at the entrance of the bridge to Macau, it’s time to make a U turn to return to the stadium. I was still ducking and diving yet with fewer people coz the marathon and half marathon athletes were going to the bridge’s direction.

     

    Meanwhile, some Brazilian women and men dressed like in a Carnival or parade, dancing at the turnaround, cheering for us. Well, I was not the only one got distracted, I saw a Japanese guy whose number showed he was supposed to head to the bridge but he was on our mini route. I shouted at his confusing face, “あそこ!あそこ!” (over there, over there!)

     

    “はん。。。”(half…)

     

    “はい、はい、あそこ!”(yes, yes, over there!)

     

    After pointing him to the right direction, I continued finding my way, smiling. Dunno whether I was running too fast, I got a bit of stomachache. By slowing down a little bit, I was caught up by one after another.

     

    No way. I started speeding up. By the time almost arriving at the stadium, some stopped and were just walking. I briskly clapped my hands and shouted, “nearly there!” They started running again.

     

    While stepping into the stadium, more than 100m to go. Speeding up again, at the end I managed to pass the woman who was in front of me when I ran to the finishing line. The time was 23:03.

     

    The first year 1998 I was 1st.

    The second year 1999 I was 6th.

    Now 2007 I am 12th.

     

    Then what’s next?

     

    ......

     

    Thanks Rachel, yes I will. I havent finished a full one!

     

    Here were also some scenes from this morning:

     

    A mother was running with her less than 10-year-old daughter;

    A father was running with his 6 or 7-year-old son;

    A man was standing along the route with a looking-forward-to-seeing-somebody look, I guess it must be his other half;... lucky woman!

     

    So what's next... any of them would be great...   :)

    Thanks for naming me again Miss karrie, just briefly answer them.
     
    Q1.你會選擇同有結果但係你唔鐘意既人一齊,定係冇結果但你鐘意既人一齊呢
    ans: Well, I have to say this question is highly questionable. How can you know the result before anything happens?!
         Besides, what is a "result"? Marriage? Dont be silly...
         If it has to have an answer, well, I have chosen both. 
         In the first case, I regretted bringing others into hot water, but the good thing was all of us learnt.
         Then the next one, it's always always a wonderful thing to be able to find someone and be with this person you actually fall in love with, no matter what's lying ahead. And it's like winning a lottery if you could get the same feedback.  Yes, so I dont give a damn. Go for it.
     

      Q2.你覺得自己幸福嗎?
    ans: Always.

     

      Q3.你會令自己重視既人幸福嗎?????
    ans: Sure, but first myself, then I can bring my happiness to them too.

     

      Q4:你覺得情人同你講邊句說話你覺得最傷心?

    ans: Just one word and its from years ago, that with his head down, saying "sorry" again. Yeah, imagine, that's it.

     

      Q5:俾一個生日願望你,你會許咩願?

    ans: Hey but who grants it?

           If it would come true, I wanna be able to make my dreams come true. If not, I'd say I will still keep pursuing them.

     

      Q6:一件開心到飛起ge?
    ans: It's that I am falling... but still flying high above...

           ... isnt it amazing?!

    What is Waiting?

     

    Waiting is a fantasy

    That drives us crazy

    That makes us scream

    For the love in our dream

     

    Waiting is a process

    That’s now what we possess

    That makes us smile

    In our dream that lasts for miles

     

    Waiting is a blueprint

    That excites us with Ping Pong Ping

    That makes us gaze

    At our dream with no haste

     

    Waiting is a connection

    That fills us with expectation

    That makes us enjoy

    Our dream fulfilled desde hoy

    借松山之名

    離澳多年,最近重回舊地,在斜路上山的入口發現多了個牌匾豎寫著 松山二字,很懾氣。他在澳門街無人不曉,也是除了體育場地以外能看到澳門充滿活力的見證。由於山上空氣好,中上年紀一輩特喜歡在此晨運,亦是年輕一代和一家大小的週末好地處。

     

    問題來了。松山之名既然是如此的家傳戶曉且深入民心,為何隔了這麼多年才(還要)奉上牌匾? 是多此一奉? 還是松山和澳門人合久必 的結果,要給其一個 名份 其必要性可能不值得爭議,但由於身邊有很多朋友已沾上這個身份,因而本人對這個 名份的存在價值有點興趣。

     

    這個一紙之約的 名份對很多人來說可能是一種幸福,或憧憬,或奢侈,或形式,箇中真締只有局中人才明白。一對男女,究意是會在什麼情況下才會決定共楷連理?是因為 沖動 時間久了還是 年紀到了” ? 還是在雙方都心甘情願的情況下作出的?如有經驗之談還請指教指教。

     

    我還沒結婚,目前亦還沒有此打算。最喜歡掛在口邊的是要當個年輕的事業型女性。雖然不保日后會改口風,但畢竟青春是無價的本錢。現在就要談婚論嫁的話,一定是自己腦裡搭錯線。說這話並不是冒犯說各位已經或將要有這個身份的朋友們有問題,因為人各有志,當然會尊重各位同志的決定,亦會衷心祝福,畢竟要找個可以付托終生的人不易,應該說很難。對本人來說,這不單是將自己付托給一個人,亦是要負起照顧這個人的責任。小女子自問是挺喜歡冒險的,只是深知自己腦袋子還未發育完全,還不敢冒這個險、踏上這條兩口子的長征。

     

    話說回來,我跟松山也相識了好一段日子,亦在這裡糊裡糊途地跑了我人生中第一個冠軍,所以你說,沒有他sinki可能不會成為今天的 sinki。令人鬆一口氣的是,我沒有跟松山有任何一紙之約,但我亦要隨意且不用預約地來個松山任我行。

     

    Yesssssss, this kind of feeling, I'm loving it!

    角色

    第二屆亞洲室內運動會,就像曾經令人興奮的歌劇和音樂劇一樣,落幕在歡呼聲中,亦沉溺在每顆有份參與和被感染的心坎里。

     

    運動場上的小宇宙、站在前線的力量和負責殿後的默默支持,不是每天一兩個新聞片段或文字就能發放出來的。作為大會的記者,搜集到的是來自運動員和教練的氣魄與抱負,勝利的喜悅以及永不言敗的精神。

     

    由於身份角色不同了,想作為一個出色的運動員而被訪問的可能性已幾近為零。當年在廣外也曾幸運地當了個被訪問的對像,不知道那篇報導是否也隨流水飄移到一個不為人知的島上安享晚年呢?

     

    由於自己身在的澳門島太小,每次工作的地方都難免會碰到以前的同學或朋友。他們出來工作已有一段時間,臉上很多都透出一絲絲的 社會人士氣質,起碼在我看來是如此,笑容少了,嚴肅的表情卻好像常常裝上。

     

    很久沒見,你好嗎?” --- 我認為這是闊別多年再會的最少而應該的問候。噢,抱歉各位朋友們,或者我不應把它當作理所當然,但那種明明見到卻刻意迴避,又或只是說句 “Hi” 沒下句而頭也不回的動作真的令我心寒。我猜可能是我們的角色不同了吧,而那些充滿回憶的葉子已遠飄了。嘆息下,卻不想明白所以然,唯有寄望自己能一直多帶出一點歡樂,不要嚇走人家就好了。

     

    還好,凡事總有例外 ( … 我好像很喜歡這句話)。碰到一些以前的好朋友,能互相問候大家的現況,做到好工當然要值得高興, 已成家立室的更要大賀一番。雖不算是高談闊論,但心裡很甜很舒服。

     

    蒙籠中我看到,遠方回憶的葉子中還是有綠色的一片。

    Long gone 10 years

    Long ago when we met

    Knew nothing but likeness

    Just liked each other with pure interest

    But then you stepped out of the door

    Leaving me behind with the wall

     

    When we met again

    Thought we knew what we wanted

    Just took each other for granted

    But then you said sorry

    Leaving me to step out of the door

     

    Again, again and again

     

    Goddamn it

     

    When we were apart

    The steps we took just kept echoing

    That my ears could hardly hear anything

    That I could not stay but go away

    Runaway and breakaway

     

    Today when we meet again

    Realize that we are not alone

    And those steps sound long gone

    That we could stay chat of our own

    With a smile for long

    關於母校和邱生 ( 轉載澳門日報, 2007年9月24日)

     今天讀報時偶發現了一篇關於母校和邱生的報導,感慨萬分。如當年沒有成為邱生的弟子,心知道便沒有今天的自己。對於他無私與全心的教導,只能用無言感激來形容。老土點還是要說,除了家人以外,就是邱生了。
                                         (其實我也遺憾沒能成為世界級運動員...)
     
     以下內容轉載於澳日:

    精神不分新舊

     

    勞校是最具人情味、最懷舊的。細說當年,恍惚進入了時光隧道,回到四、五十年前的澳門,一個窮困、艱辛的時代。

    聽着勞校師生、家長晩上鋪建球場,睡書桌、集宿練習,飮牛骨湯補充體力,在早年的南灣工人球場、沙地的蓮峰球場、渺無人煙的新塡海、偏遠的北安、荒涼的垃圾山、街邊、馬路練習上課等等,不禁讓人驚嘆,甚麼家校合作,甚麼大衆體育,早在幾十年前已在勞校萌芽、扎根。


    今天澳門經濟起飛,換來的卻是大部分學生對學校沒歸屬感、靑少年運動不足、靑少年問題泛濫?


    勞校是傳統、念舊、重情誼的學校,建校理念、敎育價値觀及對體育的熱情始終如一。儘管校舍等硬件比幾十年前好多了,中、小學均有了室內體育館,可要應付三千多學生的需求,軟、硬件均顯得不足。唯自強不息的傳統沒變過,用心去做,校外的行人道亦是他們的短跑賽道,馬路仍然是他們的長跑賽場,老師仍然是可畏可敬的良師益友。


    時代不斷進步,重回往日並不現實。但,往事並不如煙,精神不分新舊,在乎好壞。

     

     

    勞校建基“子弟兵”

     

    五十年代的澳門經濟低迷,百業蕭條,低下階層失學嚴重,在“補濟失學,維持就學”的呼聲下,各行各業踴躍捐輸,五○年籌辦了勞工子弟學校,成立至今對推動體育運動情有獨鍾,歷任校長、老師、學生、校友,歷盡艱辛,自強不息,把勞校打造成澳門體育強校,為澳門體壇培養一代又一代的頂尖好手。鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的?前體育科主任邱武邦退下火線,勞校體育未來的新挑戰是甚麼?將為大家一一細說。

    晨操晩練全民皆兵

    勞校體育歷史悠久,在只有小學的五十年代開始,已故校長譚立明親力親為,帶動全校老師成立“體委會”,老師們各盡所能,日常的敎學外,工餘全情投入體育培訓,加上當年社會發展落後,體育成為學生的最佳娛樂,訓練是生活的一部分,晨操晩練,全民皆兵。勞校校長萬群指出,勞校創校至今,最注重的便是體育,目標是培養學生一至兩項技能:“體育運動除了讓學生有寄託外,對身體素質、意志及紀律性都很有幫助。”

    一碗牛骨湯憶當年

    五、六十年代體育風氣甚濃,學生運動會成為城中盛事,競爭非常激烈,為爭取練習時間,當年勞校經常組織學生在校集宿,練習、溫習過後,便把書本拼湊成枕頭睡覺。當年社會環境差,除三餐外,勞校每天一碗牛骨湯、一隻雞蛋,讓學生進食,加上工人醫療所的維他命,助運動員補充體力。

    勞校自上而下的支持及努力,多年來不論在當年的學生運動會,還是今天學界運動會均名列前茅,經常包辦過半接力奬旗及個人全場冠軍。回憶這段艱苦歲月,前體育科主任邱武邦笑稱:“勞校的牛骨燙是全澳門最好的。當年勞校只是小學,但亦有十名敎練,的確不簡單。”


    刻苦耐勞品行先行

    刻苦耐勞成為勞校的象徵,在體育運動中大派用場。萬群以“尙算成功”形容勞校多年來的體育成績,原因一是學生肯捱,二是由前體育主任邱武邦開始,每代老師“做事認眞”的傳統;三是挑選運動員以品行先行,要求學生品學體兼優。

    勞校由最初只有小學部,一直發展成幼、小、中一條龍的學校,現在學生三千多,校內體育氣氛十年如一日的濃烈,校運會、班際籃球賽及環山跑成為校內三大盛事,全校師生齊齊出動。早年的運動會開幕式更有體操、跳火圈、扇舞等表現,比賽組織亦一手包辦,至今校運會亦深受學生歡迎。

     

     

    鐵漢柔情—邱武邦

     

    提起勞校體育,第一個想起的必然是邱武邦(邱生)。學生眼中的他很惡,朋友眼中的他很隨和風趣,偶有執着,但執着得相當徹底、可愛。哼着逾半個世紀的“建校歌”時,熱情澎湃;感激太太支持、說着內地敎師辛酸史,熱淚盈眶,鐵漢柔情莫過於此。

    邱武邦五一年入讀勞校,四年後畢業被送到內地進修,因集田徑、足球、籃球運動員於一身,五九年回校任體育老師,十九歲即初為人“師”,月薪七十五元,抱着為工人子弟盡一點力,希望學校取得成績的信念,一敎四十七年。兩年前正式退休,但仍是勞校長跑隊的導師。


    惡?以訛傳訛

    邱生訓練出名嚴苛夠惡,但嚴師出高徒,家中放着“一日為師,終身為徒”等金牌匾數以萬元計。學生遇到困難,第一個想起的便是他:“惡,很多人都這樣說我,這是以訛傳訛,平心而論,是我愛錫他們,老師先要有愛心,不是砌生豬肉,不要做好好先生,要眞正幫到他們。”

    邱生為勞校盡心盡力,多年來培訓出不少人才,遇着貧苦學生,出錢供書敎學屢見不鮮,其付出早已獲社會認定,更在○四年獲特區政府頒發“體育功績勳章”。對這遲來的勳章,邱生紅着眼謙虛地否認:“敎師節時在中央電視臺看到特備節目,當中的敎師都相當出色,反觀自己任敎的四十七年都是平平無奇,與別人比較很普通,有很大距離。”


    家庭,不能忽視

    “成功男士背後總有一位女士默默支持”,邱生為事業打拼,坦言忽略了家庭,貢獻給學生的時間比家庭還要多,每當訓練都把兒子掉到一旁,有次兒子玩耍時骨折,但又掉不下訓練,最終待訓練後才把他送到診所。

    太太每天帶着子女上學放學,有次被打劫,自己卻忙着練習。家人對此略有微言,但作為妻子的劉淑雲仍默默支持他,分擔家庭的責任,從不拖後腳,邱生感激之情油然而生:“多年成績,屋企支持佔了大部分,自己只是小部分。”


    邱生吿誡年輕一輩敎師:“盡力做好敎師工作是必須的,全力以赴,做到最好,付出一定有所收穫。騎牛搵馬的不宜做敎育。全力以赴的同時,不要忽略家庭,有些事情過了就不能補救。”


    桃李滿門,有憾!

    眼前六十多歲的邱生桃李滿門,澳門冠軍級學生數以百計,深受學生愛戴,但心願未了。“這麼多年的成績,說不滿意是騙人,但也不能說滿意,最大的遺憾是未能訓練出一位世界級運動員,參加世界級賽事。”衷心希望,邱生的遺憾由他的學生完成。
