瘋人瘋語

「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

即食麵之父 安藤百福 逝世

即食麵之父 安藤百福 逝世



安藤百福是日本籍台灣人,原名吳百福,被稱為即食麵之父﹐ 他是日清食品創辦人,零七年一月五日傍晚因心肌梗塞﹐ 在大阪一間醫院病逝,終年九十六歲。


吳百福在台灣嘉義出世,其後到日本經商,朝日新聞報導,吳百福發明即食麵,也是日清食品公司的創始人,他生於日本統治台灣時期,之後到日本經營針織品批發生意。一九三四年畢業於立命館大學。吳百福經營過製鹽業、金融業等,一九四八年,成立了日清食品公司的前身中交總社,經營貿易及批發業。並在一九五八年將即食麵推出巿場,受到廣泛歡迎。


即食麵陪伴我廾幾年﹐自夠高後﹐自己可以一手包辦攪豎﹐先把包裝的麵放入沸開水﹐幾分鐘後加入味粉麻油﹐一碗充滿麻油香味的湯麵可以食o勒。 長大後要求高了﹐先把麵煮好﹐跟着用冷水沖洗﹐燒好個鑊把攫乾水的麵放進去﹐快快地炒好﹐放入麻油﹐再加上好的蠔油﹐有XO醬更妙﹐家中有甚麼醬都成﹐那包味粉早已拋棄了。如果要湯可用史雲生﹐但已經不彈此調久爾。乾撈的口感比放湯還要好 (我是指即食麵﹐其他麵當別論)。


經常備用的當然是日清的出前一町ORIGINAL 麻油即食麵﹐其實其他味道都無分別﹐因為我已經棄用味粉多年。 哈哈哈!!!!! 說著又想吃了。

等等。。。。。讓我哀悼一會<吳百福>﹐才煮我的即食麵。




後記: 熱辣辣﹑熱騰騰的湯麵!!! yummy
播一播出前一町的廣告﹐是對<吳百福>的最佳致敬。

The alan leong's list 梁家傑的名單



就算支持梁選特首﹐他朝梁的三司十一局頭頭﹐會是誰呢??? 要選委投他的票﹐首先梁家傑是否能拿出一張見得人的名單。公民黨除了四巨頭﹐吳﹑梁﹑湯﹑余﹐免強加個關信基﹐毛孟靜仲未入流﹐譚香文已失公信力﹐張超雄連議員本份還未做妥﹐李志喜要先補補她的中文﹐鄭宇碩能否再次出山﹐其他的不提也罷!!! 拉李卓仁入閣? 拉梁國雄入閣? 得淡笑, 拉民主黨入閣? 李永達, 楊森, 李柱銘, 前朝的陸恭惠等等? 哈哈哈!!!!


政黨中連影子內閣的人選都不夠﹐而需要一人跟幾個範疇。 這個問題無非指出香港的精英﹐我說的是精英中的精英﹐達到這級數的尚未夠數。請得動的不多﹐因為機會成本高。董建華留給曾蔭權的班子﹐好些是濫竽充數的南郭先生﹐褓呔曾想換但有誰願像 黃仁龍 般﹐肯出來做官﹐肯出來捱呢? 當然黃是得到中央的承諾。 好了﹐香港實在未夠人才﹐因為商界中人已經求才若渴﹐張永霖﹐蘇澤光﹐那麼搶手可見一班﹐等到一等一的人才填滿了商界﹐又有更多的補充﹐那時香港才有餘力﹐建立政黨政治。 君不見星架坡﹐政府跟商界爭人才﹐還只是緊緊夠﹐ 緊緊熟。曾蔭權去訪問星加坡後心中有數。


既然梁家傑明知, 亦根本祇當是熱身﹐所以連名單都<<廢事>>﹐ 我們需要陪練嗎?

山行﹑杜牧

李白﹐杜甫﹐白居易﹐王維﹐的詩不用重提﹐大家或多或少﹐隨隨便便﹐都能交出十首八首﹐ 杜牧的詩﹐大家應聽過不少, 但可能不知道是杜牧作的﹐ 還以為是李白, 杜甫﹐白居易﹐王維﹐等等的大名的大作。
以下是杜牧詩﹐常見到的,

例如:

江澤民曾引用過的有: “ 二十四橋明月夜﹐玉人何處教吹簫。”
其他﹐較多聽的有
天階夜色涼如水﹐ 坐看牽牛織女星。
又有
商女不知亡國恨﹐ 隔江猶唱後庭花。
仲有
南朝四百八十寺﹐多少樓台煙雨中。

還有
借問酒家何處有﹐牧童遙指杏花村。

不能沒有的
十年一覺楊州夢﹐贏得青樓薄倖名。


而我最有感覺的是 杜牧 這首<<山行>>

遠上寒山石徑斜﹐

白雲生處有人家﹐

停車坐愛楓林晚﹐
霜葉紅於二月花。



一氣呵成

山行﹑杜牧

遠上寒山石徑斜﹐
白雲生處有人家﹐
停車坐愛楓林晚﹐
霜葉紅於二月花。

請請!!!





如果你喜歡杜牧的詩﹐你可能也喜歡以下的:
清明﹑杜牧
歸去來辭﹑陶淵明

President Gerald Ford (1913-2006)

President Gerald Ford (1913-2006)





福特總統﹐他是第一個並非由全美國選民選來的美國總統。 美國總統是正副總統候選人搭檔﹐選的是一對﹐當正總統不能執行權力﹐副總統補上。但尼克遜總統的副總統﹐比他還早因水門事件下臺﹐當尼克遜總統宣佈辭職<唔撈>﹐ 繼任人落在國會議長福特身上<按一>﹐福特剛接任副總統﹐而他只是自己選區的選民選出來﹐ 並不是全國選民選出的繼任人。他接任後積極團結國人﹐因上任的總統留下的嚴重分歧。





好了﹐我想問的是上屆香港特首董建華先生退任﹐他沒有副特首﹐但也輪不到立法會主席: 范太 頂上。而是重新經過八百人選舉團﹐ 再經提名﹐雖不用選﹐因其他的參選人未能取得足夠提名﹐令曾蔭權自動當選﹐繼任餘下任期。 下屆特首選舉﹐人大是否應再悉法﹐增加一個副特首為第一繼任人﹐還要把立法會主席列為第二繼任人﹐確保防止曾蔭權一句大吉利是﹐香早o左!!! 而需要重新選舉﹐令泛民主派的有機可乘。


邊樣有利中共中央控制香港的民主派o的呢? 為免夜長夢多﹐ 當然一次安排妥當﹐較為穩陣。橫豎有理有據﹐現今世界最大民主實體也是如此這般﹐泛民主派有何理據去反對?


按: 翻查網頁﹐現在美國還沿用此法﹐未有改變。

《李敖有話說》 --- 第七百三十一集

《李敖有話說》--- 第七百三十一集



最後一集的《李敖有話說》 ﹐ 李敖除說再見外﹐還題出了三點:


一﹑ 近幾年荒費了寫作﹐發表了有很少的文字﹐以後會努力筆耕﹐期望在有生之年﹐多寫幾本書﹐不竟李敖是文字工作者。


這點不錯﹐印象中李敖只發表了一本小說<上山﹑下山﹑愛>。



二﹑他已經七十一歲﹐記憶力開始退化﹐不想讓人看到他老來﹐說亂了話﹐遂見好就收。


有自知之明﹐做人當知進退﹐減少讓自己犯錯﹐並殃及別人﹐中國幾許名人哲人﹐老來不退﹐幹了糊塗事﹐禍國殃民﹐李敖若能真的﹐是上上人物。



三﹑他要為一雙小兒女留點錢﹐顧他考慮開放他的書房﹐給遊客參觀﹐由其是大陸來的﹐他並說大陸十三億人口中﹐有大約五千萬是有足夠財力來臺灣旅遊。 來參觀台北的故宮博物館﹐因蔣介石略奪來台的寶物﹐文物﹐比在北京的還要珍貴。來遊日月潭﹐登上阿里山﹐還有來看他李敖這活佈景。他有一個價目表﹐收費給一雙小兒女留點錢﹐不竟他七十一歲了﹐活不多幾多年。


這是不錯的構思﹐但李敖恐怕忘了﹐他死後可以學毛澤東一樣﹐防腐製成標本﹐放在記念館﹐供遊人瞻仰﹐照樣收費﹐可令到他孫兒輩受惠﹐到時才入土為安。還是李敖怕死後會給人鞭屍﹐已立下遺囑﹐離世後早日火化﹐煙消霧散﹐不留一片雲彩。



後記:
李敖精過鬼﹐是<精鬼才>﹐ 例如他自己說的﹐他收了錢做鳳凰衛視到三月頭才完﹐但老闆劉長樂﹐想延長到一季末才完﹐他反建議提早在年終就結束﹐多收的錢不用退還, 但真真假假不用深究了。

Jodie Foster's "Contact" (1997 )

Jodie Foster's "Contact" (1997 )




一向對Jodie Foster 有信心﹐她的電影應全都有看過﹐有些還收藏了影碟。我第一部JODIE 的電影應該是NELL﹐她演一個不屬於現代的人﹐隱居於深山處﹐說話因養大她的老人家是中了風的﹐學得怪異語音﹐令人難以理解。 嘻嘻, 以後有機會再談。


今天談的是 1997 年的“CONTACT” ﹐ 而中文戲名我忘記了﹐ 在網上找到叫 <接觸未來> 。昨晚子夜二時之後﹐在床上眼光光﹐遂爬起身隨便拿了隻影碟看。怎知一看仲精神oD﹐因為故事吸引﹐又有JODIE FOSTER








故事大綱:
Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) grows up fascinated with radio messages from distant places. Ellie's father dies when she is 9. As an adult Arroway becomes deeply involved in SETI - the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. Arroway works first at the Arecibo radio telescope, and then at the VLA in New Mexico. Just as the government is on the point of closing down the program, they receive a message from Vega. The military rapidly take over the project.


When they decode the message from space, it contains instructions how to build some kind of space craft or star gate. Only one person can travel in this machine, and Ellie is desperate to be that one - but she is rejected.


The first machine is sabotaged by a religious fanatic, and blown up - but there is another, built in secret on an island off the coast of Japan. This time, Ellie gets to go.


In a flight lasting 18 hours, she goes through a series of wormholes to a mystical encounter with a being in the form of her father. The being tells her that there are many intelligent races in the Universe.


But when she gets back, her 'flight' has only taken a fraction of a second in earth time. There is no evidence for what she has seen, and the data recorder that went with her has recorded only static. No-one believes she has really gone anywhere.


當全世界上大多數的人﹐ 都唔信你﹐以為你在說謊﹐ 怎樣面對呢? 因為還是要生活下去哩﹐懂得面對逆境﹐活出新生活﹐就是結尾想帶出的信息。

寫在新的一年前夕



2006年將盡﹐迎接新的2007年之時﹐就讓不愉快的隨舊的一年帶走。


新的一年有更多挑戰﹐新的財政年度四月開始﹐比新的一屆特區政府早﹐各界關注的各方面的財政安排﹐將會引發更多爭論。香港回歸將快十年﹐七月就是十週年﹐新的一屆特區首席行政長官亦會產生就職。 縱觀回歸九年多﹐香港浪費在內耗方面太多﹐應付外來的競爭力度不足﹐決策比人家慢﹐但所謂強政勵治﹐是否就是現在大家所見的模式?


最後我向臨近新年才失去父母的一對孤兒致與一句慰問。並問一句有關當局的官員﹐為甚麼在辦離婚中的夫婦同歸於盡的之事﹐竟然可以歷史重演﹐你們能否安心的去慶祝新年嗎?


祝願 各位明年 身體健康﹐心境愉快﹐荷包全滿﹐一年好過一年!!!

年終有冇嘢想:
CLICK - your life forward, backward, pause, slow and ......


My cousin brought back many movie DVDs from overseas, one of them is called "CLICK" . Since, I am not an Adam Sandler fans, so I didn't pay to see this movie in the cinema when it was being shown, but I watched that DVD recently. This morning I read about several people's blogs that they wish TIME can be frozen................these triggered me to write the movie review about it.


CLICK sourced from yahoo movie dot come
命運自選台

Starring: Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken.

Directed by: Frank Coraci


The story is about, a workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across an universal remote that allows him to perform fast forward, fast backward, pause, to look at his LIFE, just like all functions on our DVD player. One thing he can not change is his age he can not revert back to be a kid with the backward click, but he can see as a bystander.



So with his remote control, he could click pause or slow to keep the best moments, also he could play fast forward to skip the bad times and just living the GOOD times of his remaining life. By doing that he overlooked many important events in his life, like the growing up of his kids, the death of his father. His kids grew up without his involvement and knowledge. His wife divorced him but he didn't know that because it was being skipped by playing fast forward too far. So he grew old TOO fast and was dying TOO soon. HOW could he revert back??? by playing fast backward to rewind his LIFE ??? NO...... he couldn't.



I like the message Adam Sandler wishes to bring out in this movie. If one just seeing the end results without going through the procedures ONE shall/ will miss too much in one's life and being incomplete. Without the difficult times and failures one can not learn from them. So either good or bad we must live through it. Furthermore, people should put aside their work after working hours and should look after the family more. ONE should strike for a balance between his/her career and his/ her family life.

Everlasting 柯德莉 夏萍





(Pictures and links sourced from wikipedia)




















聖誕新年假期一連十天﹐ 正如在別人的網誌上 ”留言板“ 留低的話 ”HOME ALONE“﹐家人全都外遊﹐我一個人留守家園﹐就像那個小子說我要保衛家園。閒來無事﹐遂看了影碟﹐是很塵舊的”窈窕淑女".


我生得晚柯德莉 夏萍 或 柯德莉 赫本 的電影﹐我只看過一套﹐ 英文名是“Always,” 1989 亦是她最後的演出。




Directed by : StevenSpielberg

Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter﹐Audrey Hepburn .


柯德莉 夏萍﹐已經很老﹐無復當年之勇。我記得她是那個天使﹐幫助死後的 Dreyfuss 撮合他留下的未婚妻 Hunter, 和 Dryfuss 認可的男人, 成為一對 。而他的靈魂只可以"Always," 成為她的 Guardian Angel.



而柯德莉夏萍的成名作1953 Roman Holiday 外, 其他的只看過 1954 Sabrina﹐1964 My Fair Lady, 看的都是在電視上和VCD 版。 但愛屋及烏﹐我去看了Audrey Tautou 主演的 天使愛美麗 2001 Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain , 天使愛過界 2002 À la folie... pas du tout , 尋找柯德莉夏萍的影子, 因為朋友告訴我﹐Audrey Tautou 演過電視電影﹐柯德莉夏萍的傳記, 但我沒有看過。 還有你可留意Audrey Tautou 在 天使愛美麗 中的一頭短髮是抄足 夏萍 在 Roman Holiday 的短髮形像。
