怪癖

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

正所謂:那狂潮捲起,燦爛又繽紛。李姓女生想大家輕鬆一下,竟使港台無數網誌寫手公開一己怪癖,今天不過是第九天,其速也速,看怕教無數動輒用「全城效應」的文案寫手脫筆拜伏,也令一眾苦戰N年而未得聞問的你我他她暗地三嘆。

閒白講完,自揭怪癖。

一者在家玩抱枕。用了腸型抱枕十多年,當中約大半年家中不備,最終還是買一條回家。「腸」,可滾可抱可墊頭墊手臂,甚至可如家犬家貓,放在盤腿上。幸虧此腸不如我幻想的腸角色般,有人類的思想行為及行動力,否則多養一口,難長顧也。

二者扮卡通角色叫聲。定是玩腸有年,加愛羅飛機一隻,又曾寫過bear bear連載小說,當中貴為主角的玩具熊會發「bear!」的叫聲,結果下來,替它們配上叫聲成了每日指定動作,甚至不見它們時亦然。

三者慣一個人看電影。根據老朋友梁國基先生之教,電影,是應該兩個或以上的人一同看的,一個人看電影去,還要屢次如此,實大乖其教——他此學說跟他的戀愛狀況有何關聯,待查——,故也當成怪癖。

四者跟梁國基先生互相用口水抬舉又復踐踏。「阿黃生,你中學畢業o係某大名校,又入讀香港一流大學,前途應該似錦喎;點解而家變成咁o既?」用「先生」常稱我,梁氏實屬第一人;投挑報李,不能不回以「先生」敬稱。不過,我想來想去,除了互尋開心外,看怕沒有太多需要互叫對方「先生」吧,否則一年下來,多講數千字也未可知。

至於我,每次都是在他面前列舉他收入比我高,從事前途更光明的行業,以及他事業前景如我般未見突破的事實,也算有揚有抑。以上兩點務請一起閱讀。

五者慣截轉發訊息呼籲,電郵icq或blog都如是。所以鄧明暉所立一脈,到我手上即止。

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.

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。

愛羅號Posted by Hello 愛羅號布玩偶Posted by Hello

這篇字稿是晚七時打的。在圖片跟字稿之間,香港仔公爵率先來問,也不好意思怠慢了。

這一部飛機叫「愛羅號」,來自一個已倒的旅遊網站「愛羅旅遊天地」(airlodge.com)。

比較貼切的說,那旅遊網站是家旅行社,但又同時推出一個有點規模的網站,是所謂的click and mortar,虛擬加現實的業務。我從沒光顧它,倒是因為2000年初它開業時被派往採訪,所以才認識它跟愛羅號。

愛羅號的實然主要功能是宣傳那新開業的旅行社。其網站的旅遊故事裡,愛羅號跟一個自命英俊不凡的男生愛羅浪子(airlodge?)四處遊覽。綜合各集的旅遊故事,愛羅號的特性如下:

男性/雄性
懂笑,但不懂說話,只曉用「airo」叫聲表達意思
以汽油為燃料
外層有彈性,內裡為機械,推論為新一代的機械人
載客飛行時能放大縮小

喜歡愛羅號,不盡然因為他有點傻氣,也因他的身型有點像抱枕。而愛羅號的布玩偶,如右圖示,身型似球,有個小肚腩,亦不能站好,結果只能臥著。當時網站還推出雌性的愛羅二號,我對她印象不深。

愛羅號這類角色,並不新鮮;從前已有香港的旅行社將飛機擬人化,但並沒發展成愛羅號般的規模。而以擬人化後的交通工具為主角的故事,日本英國都有,英國當然指的是Thomas the Tank跟他的一群同伴。
