Sex on a Cracker

No I did not have sex on a cracker, but I had a bbq tonight, and Glenn said that our newly invented blue cheese s'more was ALMOST better than sex, so we gave it this name. Here's the recipe, must try if you love blue cheese too:

Ingredients:
1. one marshmallow
2. two squares of chocolate
3. one thin slice of blue cheese
4. two crackers

Just like how you would make a regular s'more, but this time you melt also the blue cheese with the marshmallow and chocolate onto a cracker. Serve warm.

Blogspot

Welcome to my new blog!

I just love and hate internet like everyone does. Two weeks ago my old blog host suddenly decided to shut down the site and charge bloggers for just getting the archives back without prior notice. As a result of not keeping a backup, I was being ripped off, and had to go through all the hassle to repost the entries to this new blog space. Tonight I was finally done.

I took a 5-day vacation to Bangkok with my best buddies Eva and Fiona last week. Finally got some relaxation, but it's never enough for me. I became quite depressed with the vacation ended, but I guess I was back to the average emotion level today.

Life still goes on, whether you want it to or not.

無題

我今天終於看到,我放置在公司的草莓發了芽 —— 是在它的主人遠遊時,偷偷發的。

秋天乾燥,易生山火;人也會燥熱,殃及周遭的人。我更是一貫地過渡著更年期。

很喜歡這首歌:

《心動》 -- 林曉培

有多久沒見你 以為你在那裡
原來就住在我心底 陪伴著我的呼吸
有多遠的距離 以為聞不到你氣息
誰知道你背影這麼長 回頭就看到你

*過去讓它過去 來不及
從頭喜歡你 白雲纏繞著藍天
如果不能夠永遠走在一起
也至少給我們懷念的勇氣 擁抱的權利
好讓你明白 我心動的痕跡*

總是想再見你 還試著打探你消息
原來你就住在我的身體 守護我的回憶

台灣官員的簽證問題

據悉,台灣駐港機構中華旅行社新任總經理鮑正鋼,已於上周4晚獲特區政府批發工作簽證,但附帶條件是不能在雙十節期間來港。不過,中華旅行社資深經理張志宇昨晚出席雙十節慶祝晚會時表示,就簽證問題至今仍未有消息,但希望鮑正鋼可盡快獲發簽證,來港履新。

另一位出席晚會的台灣國民黨立法委員、本身是香港人的關沃暖就指,日前與港府有關官員談及鮑正鋼的簽證問題時,對方向他表示「快啦快啦」,他相信新總經理可在11月前來港履新。他認為,簽證遲遲未獲批發是「北京的意思」,又估計與雙十節這敏感時間有關。關沃暖更透露,台灣跆拳道奧運金牌得主朱木炎與陳詩欣,本來擬與幾位民進黨的立委,來港參加雙十節慶祝活動,但一併被拒批發簽證。對此,張志宇表示並不知情,亦不肯評論,簽證遲遲未獲批發是否與雙十節有關。

今年的雙十節慶祝活動,是繼中華旅行社前總經理張良任,4年前因同樣問題未能來港,第2次無中華旅行社前總經理主持。

原台灣行政院大陸委員會主任祕書鮑正鋼於5月獲委任,但迄今仍因簽證問題,未能來港履新。其實,台灣官方人士上任後因為簽證問題,要等候多時才能來港履新,已早有「前科」。張良任和現任光華新聞文化中心主任路平,分別久候14個月和1年,才獲港府批發工作簽證。而根據《入境條例》第11 條,入境處人員可對獲准入境的人,規定逗留期限及其他適當的逗留條件。


長毛

我以前不喜歡長毛,但在9月幾次沉悶的論壇中,看到他精彩的演出後,我開始對他改觀,更鼓勵朋友投給他。

不過,從他當選以後的言行,我又重拾對他舊有的觀感。長毛,原來始終是一個粗人。

對於他多次主張的「把街頭政治帶入議會」,我以前以為是一種political discourse,但我現在發現,這理論存在著根本性的荒謬。

Activist不是politician,politician可能是activist,但對我來說,一個真正的politician,絶不會是activist,因為他們所需的技倆不同。各人在社會上都有不同的角色,activist去抗爭,politician去lobby,把兩個角色混淆了,最終可能只會一事無成;而在長毛的例子,就會阻礙整個議會的發展。

長毛是粗人,我沒有問題,但我懷疑,他參政之前,還未真正想清楚,「挑戰建制」的意義。挑戰制建,是否等同穿t恤和豎中指?他要挾著6萬多張選票,說選民就是要他這副德性,我不敢苟同。

容許我膚淺的比喻:一個暴發戶,不能因為他手上有一大叠鈔票,就可以要求守門口的讓他穿牛仔褲,入歌劇院聽歌劇,(當然,在香港,大有人在,但並不等如就是恰適的)因為他必須尊重歌劇的文化、表演者和其他觀眾。

今晚,在港台節目中,他說他的夢想是革命,他又說他不是看不起其他議員,可能是其他議員看不起他。我想,一,他是崇拜Che Guevara得有點著了魔;二,他是有心理缺憾,下意識已覺得社會看不起他,因此要把自己標奇立異,用虛型的革命方式,向社會提出控訴。

議會,應該是莊嚴的。從一個議會,可以反映當地的人民素質。對我來說,禮儀重要,禮節也重要,修養,不只是你學問有多少。

National Day

Tonight with the temperature drop and the breeze blowing onto my skin, I could felt that the summer was going, and a new season was arriving. Autumn is my favourite season, I enjoy that twist of sadness.

"My life's full, I've come to experience so much this year." I said to myself tonight, as the fireworks displayed above the harbour. All my dreams from last year have materialized. Watching firework was one of the silly dreams, tonight it came true, at the convention center, and with the Cheif Executive just 5 feet away. (Actually should I be proud about this?) I did it alone, and yet not alone. because my working buddies were around.

The shadow's gone. I'm completed again.

This week has been awesome for me. My host sister from the US and her newly wedded husband were in Hong Kong visiting, and I had fun taking a couple of days off to take them around. I also had my 25th birthday this week, my happiest birthday ever. Again I realized how much great friends I have and they are all so good to me! This is cheesy but really, love is all around, and when you smile to the world, it smiles back to you.

At this moment, I feel very contented. And on top of that, if god decided to give me a vacation this month, I would be the happiest person on earth.
