《今天應該很高興》

Finally, I’ve just sent an email to Ka Chee.

When I did my typing with the keyboard, the song 《今天應該很高興》 comes into my mind. 「我將心聲 附加祝福 信箋寫滿……我默默地又再寫 彷彿相見」 Those were the days when we still used 信箋 rather than email for writing to people. 繼續閱讀

摩天大廈

圖片

昨日黃昏放工,看見天上「風捲殘雲」很美,跑到海傍影維港落霞。

下面兩幅照片,左邊的攝於去年七月,右邊那張是昨日拍的。你看見那座興建中的酒店在一年間「突然冒起」嗎?多嚇人!

 

Where would you like to sin? Cityplaza or Harbin?

太古城中心現正舉行哈爾濱冰燈節。

在如此炎熱的季節舉行這樣的展覽所要動用的冷氣並其耗費的電量不會少吧。其實就算此類展覧安排在香港的冬天舉行也不見得環保了多少。

但若入場的每一個人都搭機往哈爾濱看冰燈呢?我就不懂比較孰更罪過了。

還是應這樣說:住在熱帶/亞熱帶地區如香港的人們欲親睹冰燈本身就是一種自私的罪行……

flying on holiday…a symptom of sin?

講起英國炸飛機恐襲和神權,就想起前陣子讀報看到英國有主教教訓信眾在假期搭機去旅行乃犯罪的行為, 每日郵報引述該位名為Richard Chartres的主教的言論如下:

"There is now an overriding imperative to walk more lightly upon the earth and we need to make our lifestyle decisions in that light.

"Making selfish choices such as flying on holiday or buying a large car are a symptom of sin.

"Sin is not just a restricted list of moral mistakes. It is living a life turned in on itself where people ignore the consequences of their actions."

碰巧積肥在其《人禍》一文中也談到對罪的看法,弄得心癢癢的也想說說自己的觀點…… 繼續閱讀

再談V for Vendetta

十多年後的英國,有政客利用民眾反恐的心理,在民間製造恐慌事件,蠱惑民意,趁機上台,並推行專制的神權統治,控制媒體,頒布戒嚴,以秘密警察監控社會民眾,有蒙面客欲以暴逆暴的手段企圖發動連串炸彈襲擊,推翻暴政……這就是V for Vendetta這齣戲的舞台。

昨日英國就宣佈粉碎了連環炸毀客機的恐襲陰謀,事情的發展實在惹人關注,尤其以黎衝突尚未平息,伊朗和北韓的危機也未解除,伊拉克那爛尾戰爭仍不知如何收科……V for Vendetta is a must see.

老爹

原本在我家附近的老爹茶居在6月份結束了砲台山的老店,進駐了南華體育會,海牛終於在上月底的一個主日崇拜後幫襯了老爹Peter仔的新店。闊落了的舖面令人再沒有老店那局促的感覺,但不知是否空調的問題,店內的二手煙味頗濃,帶著小朋友就有點不便。

V for Vendetta

作為一個在英國殖民地政府管治下長大,經歷過六四七一,並在電視螢幕上目睹過九一一,如今又無奈地活在一黨專政的中國主權底下的香港基督徒,V煞這齣戲實在帶來很多的思想,很多很多……

Am I a quiet guy?

Do you guys think that I am a quiet guy?

I was told by my wife that my old Sunday School classmate Wong Ka Chee, who had moved to US for 19 years and I had no contact with him since then (but my wife had kept writing to Ka Chee until 10 years ago), described me as a quiet guy in his newest long-missing emails. (Thank God for restoring our long-lost contact through Rev. Lau.)
