The Unbearable Lightness of Being

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - by milan kundera, 
或譯作"布拉格之春", 但我較喜歡它另外ー個譯名: 
"生命中不能承受的輕".

忘記了在那年那月電視機播放着這套戲，看罷，除了被一個酒吧的片段深深吸引之外，立即寫下戲名説要找原著看看。。。此外什麼内容也不記得，但一份牽掛的心情卻隨隨伴着我很多年。

忙碌的生活,煩鎖的事務使我沒有認真在書局停下腳步去尋找這本書，但毎毎遇到不順暢的光景,腦海中又浮現這個戲名，今年,我終於履行這個承諾。

以捷克於１９６８年的民主改革運動為背景，描繪出四個生活在布拉格,各自原本擁有專業技能的兩男兩女；隨着這場運動，　影響了他/她們的命運。　原本那份不受約束又愛恨交纏的愛情與慾念，甚至對自己的個人價値與理想，亦不得不隨之而改寫。

第一次看這個作者的書，感覺很特別；恍如他就在我耳邊輕輕述説這四個人沉重的一生。似是一個故事，卻又如此熟悉！似是簡簡單單的内容,　卻又需要無限的文字去演譯那當中幻變的感情！

看罷，你便會明白為何這份＂輕＂是如此難以承受。。。

The first phone call from heaven

The first phone call from heaven

A new book recently found...written by one of my favourite author Mitch Albom. This is the fifth book I've read and the same feeling as usual : heart touching, comfort ... plus a little bit of "X-file" decor this time.

A small peaceful town Coldwater has never be the same when the first citizen received the first phone call from heaven, her deceased mother； follow by the second, the third & so on...I think many of us is for sure will not believe this call but how will this lie created by someone that can tie up all people inside? Especially to Sully - who lost his wife, who wants to believe this so much therefore he can listen to her wife's lovely voice once again, but sadly in the bottom of his heart... he know this is a hoax.

It's a story about love, about we can't let go to whom we miss, about regret, a struggle between sense and sensibility.

Ready a cup of coffee, a quiet & cozy corner, start reading this book; trust me, once you've open it, you will finish up to the last page, enjoy :)

Hey....

Time flies..... could anyone knows what the next minute is going to be? 
will there be another minute of me to pass? or 
will there be another post to be written? 
who knows? 

Time...
it's for the one who treasure, 
who need it 
and use it. 
What if not? 
......it means nothing to you...or to me!

No regret.....could anyone really make it?
are there anything missing? or
being forgotten?
we should know!

Fix it...when we still have a minute !

做個有承擔的設計師

好唔容易先累積到幾萬溜覧人次, 加上最近冇咩寫嘢, 我諗萬一寫完呢篇被封, 咁未前功盡癈?
但係身為一個設計師,成日話要有自由嘅空氣先可以生存; 仲要係土生土長嘅香港人, 點可以係香港而家正處於大事大非嘅時候, 唔表示一吓呢?


2014年9月28日, 香港

中學生為着爭取普選特首於9月22日開始罷課. 26日佔領公民廣場.
9月28日戴教授啓動和平佔中, 部份學生及市民開始在金鐘靜坐, 人數愈來愈多.
同一晚, 政府用胡椒噴霧及八十多個催涙彈瘋狂地把和平示威者驅趕.........
結果激起不少市民的正義感, 運動由金鐘推擴至銅鑼灣, 旺角及尖沙嘴.

呢晩, 黄絲帶係臉書上變成好多人正義嘅化身. 凌晨時份我見有四個同學仔係我屋企對面條欄桿密密掛上一條一條嘅黄絲帯, 係暗淡嘅街燈之下隨風擺動...好靚! 心諗, 香港由呢一刻開始。。。。。。不再一樣! "雨傘運動 Umbrella Movement"亦隨住示威者用雨遮抵擋＂驅趕武器＂而誕生。

從來都唔覺得設計人要所謂嘅正治中立, 冇錯，政治嘅嘢真係好鬼悶，但係如果連學生都緊張,關乎公平，公義，自由，人權嘅未來，我哋仲扮咩＂正治中立＂？攞少少做人基本嘅良知出嚟，是就説是，非就説非。比起Ｄ學生，唔通連呢最少嘅表態同支持，我哋都做唔到咩？

 一個基本嘅要求，唔應該要咁多涙水、甚至血汗嚟換取，更唔應該由學生去承擔。或者你會覺得我哋Ｄ老鬼，做咩重要理埋Ｄ未必享受到嘅未來抗爭運動？舒舒服服有錢搵，有車有樓有老婆加條狗，政府話乜未乜囉！最緊要唔好因為呢Ｄ＂少衆嘢＂同Ｄ老細或者Ｄ Friend 反面。

＂時窮節乃現　　一一垂丹青。。。正氣歌／文天祥

我諗，呢幾隻字，正係而家嘅寫照。（註：在時勢環境很差之時，一個人有沒有氣節就在此時表現出來，亦會一一在歴史上存留）


仲有兩日，雨傘運動就已經一個月大，亦都由本土運動發展為全球關注嘅普世價値。由静坐到通宵紮營，由學生喚醒真心愛香港嘅良心市民，由市民激勵不再沉睡於安逸或妥協於政治環境嘅公務員，新聞從業員。。。一切一切，始於赤子之心。


＂呢個運動會成功嗎？＂

係未即刻有真普選我唔敢講，但係我覺得個運動已經成功咗！

The Time Keeper

The Time Keeper

Finally got some time to read a book. Mitch Albom is always my "first search" whenever I've enter a book shop......since his "Tuesday with Morrie". I am sure many of you did read this novel, really touching & inspiring.                                                                                                                                                                 This time, a story of three persons, appear in the past and present, traveling from present to the future......an interaction of how they want to manage their life time, what they've thought is important to themselves and when they've make their own decision which it seems to be the best for everyone; they miss something......                                                                                                                                                                                  

 ...the treasure moment & experience with their true love. 

To some of us, this is not an "x-file" , a simple & easy understood theory. But in fact, how many of us do really try to slow down our pace, take some time to look around, listen and feel. 

Start by reading this small book tonight with your cup of tea, you will have a new angle to manage your time without regret !
