久齊嘉一

Sunday, June 5th, 2005

很少用代號,要麼明說要麼不。如果說在blogspot貼的文沒法突破那貴重的網防,一切用代號的嘗試都是徒勞。但依然用代號,說到底在談某一次抗爭,抗爭的人往往都用代號。未必有日本人姓久齊,嘉一也沒想過是個名字,放在一起念起來便是九七六十三再加一,道理跟十或七三或是八八都是一樣的,代號背後總有真相教人去找。

真相。或者只是自己堅信的印象。那印象有血有子彈。二八一十六,添一個二就想到二二八。有人繼續為那血那子彈流眼淚,有人為子彈感恩,然則沒人大聲的把「感謝國家感謝黨」唱完又唱,或者因為不夠光采不夠合時。感恩也好流淚也好冷漠也好,說話行動年復年,沒有突破。

可還是有轉易,不知道的知道了,憤慨過的平靜下來了,一時失足的站穩了。堅持有人,反思有人。有時在想,轉易的人是不是因為力量不夠呢。今年那天的影院上映連續劇的第三集。連續劇好像有一句名句:May be the force with you. 力量、力量,有力量教人敬畏,沒有力量者委曲求全,不要殺我不要殺我,我願效犬馬之勞。然則力量無遠弗屆,據說。愛怎樣也可以。聽話的話,某天或有機會分一點點,the force will be with me.

力量不只是金圓和指揮刀,燭火亦然,被風化的叫憤慨,沒被風化的是人心,人心愈多愈見有力。當人聚在一起,力量自可無遠弗屆,教不在場的都想起。想起那力量之時,我看到APM遊人如鯽,看到所謂不夠神聖的力量,也從自己的感覺看到另一些價值來。同心是否那麼迫切呢,我們能否容忍甚至曉得其他人呢。看過聽過那麼多想一統天下功敗垂成的故事,還需要一統嗎。

祭典的第一首曲好像叫〈江河水〉,名單不絕,哀情不絕,想像也是如河水般不絕,除非自絕源頭。

我的六四個人回憶

快來準備三十三無

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

香港不設戶籍制度,故大陸的「三無」不能套用在這裡。對我來說,所謂三無,就是無大錢,無事業和無拍拖。已二十八了,二十二個月後,便是我而立之時;按現在的情況,和個人缺乏轉變動力的態度看,很大可能「三十三無」。

不肯定要準備三十三無的香港男女有多少。除了自己外,我認識的兩三位朋友,看來都要面對三十三無的局面——在此諱去其名,若他們或其他朋友想和應,說明自己快要三十三無,請先考慮清楚——。三十三無令我困擾的,過半是社群壓力,小半是對未來生活的擔憂。

自己並非投資高手,近兩三年亦未投資,藉買賣賺錢的機會沒了。再說,身邊有一群左傾的朋友,我又多讀了點左翼論述,雖未跟彼等交流對這類事情的意見,自己對投資還是有點心結。打工求財嘛,有學位卻沒能找到較高薪的工作,對商界工作似迎還拒,最後落得月薪不滿萬的下場。積蓄自是不多。父母都是無股息無租金無公積金無長俸之人,估計最早五年後得全數支持他們的生活開銷,母親更為著急,壓力因此而生。稍後我會兼讀碩士,又是一筆開銷。三無之中,以無大錢最為擾我。

有了所謂的事業或云好工,固有得大錢的指望,但兩者未必完全掛勾。在工作得了虛名,或他人在做我有興趣從事的工作,都能教我口水直流。大學畢業六年,不時聽得眼見所識同屆中學或大學同學怎麼怎麼了,或聞知同齡表兄弟或堂姐妹又如何如何,把他人的風光跟自己比對,自己因此奮發尚未知,心頭先已一沈。

無拍拖,或未嘗拍拖,幾是社群壓力,有亦未必樂,無亦未必苦。然則父母這對夫婦已是自小以來的身教,長大後四週都見戀愛標記,如情侶情歌言情小說等,自己未試廣大人民已行之事,不免有點緊張。對此還是盡量勸服自己,不要太急,不要太急。目睹自己十二個兄弟姊妹諸色結合情狀的媽子,對我職場路向多番進言——「銀行工啦酒店啦」——,不過因為「生活」兩個大字,對我是否拍拖結婚,並不著緊:「男賺萬幾女賺萬幾,一旦有細路又離婚,個細o既邊個養先?」想也是她即時能作的最壞預測了。

現時如此,將來可知亦未必可知,但仍要準備面對三十三無。假若真的有好消息,自當在這裡告知,毋庸我在此大開要如何如何努力的期票。

Weekly Review: 20050522-20050528

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

20050522, Sunday.

Still spending time in HOI II. Slow progress in Northeast battlefield. in Europe side, the Reich has to fight with the Soviet, but in a hard time. British mearly destorys Italian Army in Africa.

20050523, Monday.

Evening Thai lesson. After learning this language for nearly 3 years, I can read plenty of words, of course the pronounciation is something need to be improved. Also the vocabulary, which is called khamsap (คำศัพท์) in Thai. Still, a slow progress can be seen, only if more time and effort be put in.

The topic of this lesson is education.

20050524, Tuesday.

Finally have a phone chat with Bee. She was still depressed for her graduation project in mid April, and got all done in early May! It is a real surprise. We keep on chat and chat. We exchange some ideas about ‘decisive battle’: that is, if two sides in a long-term conflict, should a decisive battle is a must and inevitable. She follows my example of a conflict in office, and says it is hard to imagine someone disappeared from the office suddenly (i.e. lost in the such kind of decisive battle). I wonder if it is more acceptable in society, which a party or a camp be destroyed in conflict.

Well, often get stucked in quarrels or fights of outsiders or between myself and other people, and get obsessed with the idea of ‘decisive battle’.

20050526, Thursday.

ROC army finally liberates Norhteast and destroys Manchukuo. Gets a bridgehead in Chosun Peninsula.

20050527, Friday.

Meet Erica and Get her materials of the interview with Mackie’s. It is a work taken too long. We talk about life, love, future and the magazine of Youngrenmin. Since my suggestion of closing down the magazine, the magazine not going any further, though the members and friends are in contact. It is not feeling hard to closing this common work lasting for 9 years, but it is better to preserve the contribution of us and our contributors.

HOI II: The Korean Republic is established. ROC Army moves itself to Fujian and Northern Vietnam, for another phase of war.

20050528, Saturday.

The first attempt of attack Hanoi failed. Japanese has a good defence and utilize the jungle well. Finally I have an amphibious assault in Central Vietnam coast, which make the final collapse of Japanese front. Also no more return of France.

Now is 1945. Reich is overhelmed by Red Army. Italy follows suit. US and UK make their D-day also. De Gaulle returns home and have to bargain with Belgians for soil. Franco falls too.

After the independence of Indochina, I shift my army to Japan. Taiwan has been liberated. A sudden landing makes Japanese abandon Kyushu. In November, my land force is strong enough to occupy Hiroshima, and Tokyo falls in the first quarter of 1946. The home of Imperial Japan is being overran.

Yes, addicted to the game for whole PM.

Often want to response with the news around me: CE election, copying of blogs, Lee Ka-Shing donation, the quarrels between Protestants and sexual minorities… but not ready to speak something OK for them, or others.

Weekly Review: 20050515-20050521 (Life)

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

20050515, Sunday.

I had bought a pack of Hearts of Iron II last Friday and I still ‘test’ it. It was quiet hard for you to be ROC, even you started in 1936. You have your infantry in 1918 class and CCP have 1936 class, and alpine troops plus forts. How can you beat them before the Xi’an incident, which is set to happen before the history, in April or May 1936?

20050516, Monday.

Today’s Buddha’s Day and it is a holiday for government staffs. Have a rest at home. Got something updated: hkifflink, a new article for my blog and some movies’ basic facts.

20050517, Tuesday.

Still doing update work for cinemathai.com. Still worrying about future.

Change in new supervisior. Another young woman, but fond of Hello Kitty. Recall once CH Ng said: it is common that HK office filled with funny stuffs like toys and merchandises, but not in Japan.

20050518, Wednewsday.

Tried HOI 2, using KMT China this time. Using 15 months to make peace with CCP, crush Li of Guangxi and Long in Yunnan. Also some technology advancement.

20050519, Thursday.

ROC is in her 2nd quarter of 1937. The random generator of the game brought Marco Polo Bridge Incident happens in early June. Of course using save-n-load to delay it. Now is 8th July, no incident so far.

20050520, Friday & 20050521, Saturday.

Still addicted in HOI2! Had the time flies to 1st Quarter of 1942. ROC army occupied the north of Vietnam but cannot push any further. Xinjiang regime has been beaten but still stands. The northeast front is better, with a slow but continuing progress.

纖體三年一月的一場考

Monday, May 2nd, 2005

都四個月了——從冷轉熱,從等待結果至確認失敗,但年初那一場政務主任首輪筆試,我仍想說一點。

卻說在香港,美體的年號從「減肥」變「瘦身」至「纖體」,故2005年可稱為「纖體三年」,業界群雌雄繼續逐鹿,廣告贊助依然排山倒海,醫學界和女運界反擊乏力。這一場社會規範的爭奪戰,未如政制改革、統一分裂、經濟發展、性小眾或勞工權益般,或新一峰韓潮尖頂般,掀起大規模的筆戰論戰,遑論進入我們的小小議事堂。這年年初,政府卻先行放風諮詢,被問的是以千計,想一試政務主任滋味的(大多年輕,即二十二、三至三十歲)男女。

這也許是此地公務員事務局公務員考試組提供的一個小小實況遊戲,未必代表政府有意先將美體議題「政治化」——雖說議員未論官員未應,但這題目已包含了多番權力傾輒——。筆試形式跟我兩三年前第一次應考時一樣,三小時內要完成三道題材相關的寫作題。考生要把自己擬成政務次官一類的角色,助龍城的衛生部長在大選前夕,做好三件事:回應議員就纖體議題討論白熱化的提問(處境包括全城纖體潮及反對團體到政府抗議);比較各地的監管美體業制度,以便制訂本地的相關政策;策劃不冒犯各界,一個商人贊助政府主辦的健康生活運動。三小時,對於我在內的不少考生來說,比較短;我的表現不算出色。

我以為政務主任筆試開出此題,至少也反映政府認為纖體潮和纖體行業,對社會已有相當的影響,亦帶來若干社會風險,故試讓投考者處理可能與之相關的難題。但反觀現下的香港,減肥美體潮已歷時廿多年,宣傳規模愈見龐大,可未見議會、政府或傳媒論者深入討論,只見廣大的民間參與(參與減肥的女性佔壓倒比例?),多間企業的競爭(乍看比燃油、公共交通、糧食零售業等開放多元)和被邊緣化的反對聲音,原因為何?一個牽涉人數甚多,當中某些參與者提出不可批駁的唯一規範(例如其中一家纖體商宣揚肥胖可被嘲笑的訊息,暗示非肥胖就是好)的社會活動,似乎當有更大規模的討論。

不帶照像機上仙城

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005

三個多小時後,我就會飛往曼谷,一星期後回香港。連續工作十八個月後,第一次享用那麼長的假期。可能過了很多沒有工作的日子,所以有點渴求不須記掛工作的長假期。

今回沒向人借用數位照像機,自家的電動照像機也不會帶;如果真有甚麼值得記下的影像,且將它們記在腦海,然後找機會背默。我不擅畫,怕畫得四不像會半途而廢,所以還得寫。

手機仍會隨身,另外借得電子手帳,好省寫字氣力。此外也帶了點紙筆,以便觀影時筆記。

出發了。雙眼因睡眠不足仍殘留一點澀。

且將發財當迎春

Sunday, February 13th, 2005

香港—廣州式的農曆新年,通常以「發財」兩字掛帥:煎堆當金銀,髮菜蠔豉(蠔乾)貪其名帶來好運,紅封包固然多多益善,就算是風行海內外的祝願語「恭喜發財」,據說最初也是清代廣州十三行的商人先說起來的。

雖云恭喜,卻未聽說誰人在農曆新年前後,真的發了財,教四方親友都來恭賀的;祝願也好,好像有點名不符實。是故,我以為一旦自己或認識的親友發了財,不妨藉此辦場以農曆新年為主題的慶賀會——揮春大書「恭喜發財」、「橫財就手」等語,桌上必備橘柑桔等如黃金之物,求好運的年菜自然不可缺;到時眾人穿大紅新衣,向新晉富翁或富婆恭喜發財時,定有另一番味道。
