股市牛氣沖天

年初跟朋輩閑談，眼見恒指萬八九點，爭持未能突破，以一貫審慎理財原則，認為從零三年非典之後，恒指一路上升，必會回吐，來個較大的調整。建議祇宜長久持有藍籌股，短炒做碼展就風險極高。


跟著股市，一直牛氣沖天，一往冇回頭，祇是間中略為調整，高處不勝寒，我亦不敢入市。點知北京送禮給曾特首連任成功，給予香港 QDII，北水南調，今天沖破二萬七，收市指收報27065.15，連四叔所預測的都提早來臨了。朋輩再談起，都指我太過保守。


所謂『不是你財，唔入你袋』，沒有持貨反而，不用擔驚受怕，對個心臟壓力都少啲。日常工作壓力已經不少了，少了炒股的壓力，雖然財富沒有顯著增加，賺少了很多，反而心安理得，學習到阿"Q" 精神。




阿太之爭

繼陳太正式宣布參選港島區立法會補選，今天葉太亦簽下戰書，來個兩太之爭，兩太對決。 雖然祇有七個月的任期，卻被泛民主派標簽為『2012年普選的公投』。

兩位阿太雖以獨立候選人身份參選，各位都明知其實，陳太有民主黨和公民黨代為開路，葉太卻有自由黨和保皇黨通天。到十二月頭才是選舉日，呢兩個月雙方面較勁，大把嘢睇。

不過，香港不論執政，司政，議政，的人才，從今次可以看得到實在令人擔憂，曾蔭權七月組成的新一屆，三司十二局，問責高官八成是政務官出身的『公務員黨』，如今祇有七個月任期的立法會補選，最後亦是由有公務員背景的兩太出來競選。




是招安還是進入憲制

前『匯點』主席張炳良，由先和『港同盟』，共組『民主黨』，成為香港民主的一股力量，到退黨後加入行政會議，由外圍進入政府，跟著再不斷增加的公職，如今還被推薦為教院新校長，今天得到確認了。

張炳良是接受政府招安，還是曲線進入憲制，發揮力量，為民主理想出力，就留待幾年後，再看清楚。



女權男權

在中國舉行的女足世界杯決賽週，已經完成準決賽，昨晚德意志女足在天津殺敗挪威 3 - 0，成為星期天決賽的一隊，今晚巴西女足，亦在杭州大勝美國女足 4- 0，成為決賽的另一隊。

不過美中不足是，美國隊一早被球證罰了一個球員出場，大部分時間祇得十人應戰。 睇返短片，在中文報導背後，聽到英文有個有趣的旁述，個旁述員說： “The United States most of the time were TEN MANNED lost 0 - 4 to Brazil "。 TEN MANNED 當然是指只得十人應戰，不是指十個男人，不過英文可能沒有 WOMANNED 這個字或者詞彙。

在舊時男權社會，很多用字不難可見，是用了男性做本位，以上祇是其中的一個例子。看來女權份子，除了燒胸圍，還要在用詞方面，改造一吓，好像 呢家有 Chairman 和 Chairwoman 了。

後記：
最後我都是沒有看這電影，根據 wiki 百科：Good Luck Chuck


Plot:

While playing a game seven minutes in heaven at a party in 1985, 12-year-old Charles "Chuck" Logan (Connor Price) refuses to have sex with a goth girl named Anisha (Sasha Pieterse). In retaliation, Anisha places a curse on Chuck, so that every single woman he sleeps with will break up with him and marry the next man who asks her out.

In the present, Chuck (Dane Cook) is in his thirties, and runs a dental practice in the same building as his best friend Stu's (Dan Fogler) plastic surgery business.

Chuck finds himself unable to tell his girlfriend, Carol (Chelan Simmons), that he loves her, and she breaks up with him while having sex on the beach. At a wedding, Chuck becomes enamored with Cam Wexler (Jessica Alba), a sometimes-clumsy, but-friendly marine biologist. Chuck asks Cam for a date, but she gently refuses him.

While working at a penguin habitat, Cam accidentally slips and chips her tooth. When she visits Chuck to have it fixed, he asks her to go out with him instead of paying him. Though initially reluctant, Cam agrees. Meanwhile, Stu notices the pattern of girls getting married as soon as Chuck has sex with them.

Stu eventually convinces Chuck to embrace the influx of women who have learned of his pattern and visit his practice, arguing that there's nothing better than having lots of guilt-free sex. However, after having this so-called "guilt-free sex" with numerous women, Chuck decides he wants a serious relationship with Cam.

However, just before he has sex with her, Stu informs him that each of the women Chuck has slept with have got married, including Carol. Worried that the same thing will happen to Cam, Chuck begins to avoid her.

Stu convinces Chuck to test the curse by having sex with an obese woman, and see if she marries afterward. Chuck asks Stu to ask the woman out to see if this results in marriage, and when it does not, Chuck concludes that the curse is fake, and has sex with Cam.

Afterward, however, Chuck discovers that the woman Stu was supposed to ask out got married to another man. Chuck calls Stu, who confesses that he only pretended to ask the woman. Chuck gets mad because of Stu's treason but Stu doesn't care about the complaints.

Chuck believes Cam wants to go out with Howard, who authored a book about penguins. Chuck attempts to track down Anisha. Now married with a child, Anisha tells Chuck that the curse wasn't meant to be real.

Still convinced that Cam will hang out with, Chuck tries desperately to get Cam's attention and asks her to marry him. His attempts, though, cause Cam to become convinced he's stalking her and she breaks up with him.

Now deciding to let fate take its course, Chuck puts Cam in touch with Howard, and the two seem to connect instantly. Stu convinces Chuck to chase after Cam, who is now headed to Antarctica with Howard.

After Chuck finds her, Cam reveals that Howard is already married to someone else, and that she's only leaving for a week. Chuck hands Cam a ring box containing a pebble, a reference to the penguin mating ritual in which a male penguin finds a stone and brings it to the female penguin he wants to be with (therefore, proposing to her).

Anisha is shown pulling a pin out of a voodoo doll, and the curse is finally broken. A year later, Chuck and Cam are in Antarctica together surrounded by penguins.

Later, Stu is shown with his now wife house-sitting for Chuck and Cam who are now married as well. They search for home-made sex tapes, and find a disturbing tape where Chuck is giving oral to a plush penguin.

『水調歌頭』 蘇軾



明月幾時有，把酒問青天

不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年

我欲乘風歸去

唯恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒

起舞弄清影，何似在人間

轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠

不應有恨，何事長向別時圓

人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺

此事古難全，但願人長久，千里共嬋娟


但願人長久 鄧麗君的版本

Mega Box



MegaBox 在 九龍灣 ，宏照道38號 ，企業廣場五期 ，一座樓高十九層商場，在七月開幕。一時間香港人多了一個新的去處， 人山人海的場面出現。

不覺幾個月，高潮過後， 人潮會少了些， 就好像兩三年前的 朗豪坊 Langham Place. 不過 朗豪坊 之後 被無線借來拍攝無線劇集，「天幕下的戀人」，朗豪坊的天幕一時間又成為旅遊勝地。


香港人貪新忘舊的本性，商場需要不斷推陳出新，才能夠吸引人流，而人流的暢旺，有個 multiplier effect, 你去我去個個去，羊群心理，冇執輸。香港人常說 「執輸行頭，慘過敗家」, 但系點解呢，執輸了還可以行頭呢？ 行頭可以先行，咁先至冇執輸播，anyway 香港人唔執輸，怕舌底，只要攪旺個場，一傳十，十傳百，增加人流可期。


「執輸行頭，慘過敗家」, 執輸了反而有得行頭， 這只會發生在 伊拉克 或者 阿富汗，個度週圍炸彈，行先可能踏中炸彈，粉身碎骨，所以啲美軍英軍每次出更，先行執籌，執輸了便要行頭，當然慘過敗家。



好了呢家是在香港， 唔系伊拉克，不是阿富汗，路邊不會滿是炸彈，執輸了就應該冇得行頭，要跟在後面了，排隊買股票，排隊賣股票，有自動對盤系統，先到先得。


以前買波飛，買賣樓花 等等，樣樣都是靠排隊分先後，繁此種種，浪費了排隊等候的時間，現在好一些，都已經是靠執籌分先後了。


Mark Six 六合彩是靠攪出號碼，來分先後，誰人拿走個頭獎先，最近『房處』也用攪株來分先後揀樓，其實也是執籌的一種。


OK 唔想執輸，要『執贏』，就行快啲喇，排頭位喇，呢度唔系伊拉克，呢度唔系阿富汗啊 。


舊時聽過有首黑膠碟的廣東歌『行快啲喇喂』網上找不到，
只有 許冠傑 的版本




許冠傑 - 行快啲喇喂
作曲：Paul McCartney
填詞: 劉大道

行快啲啦，喂，啦喂，行快啲啦喂，
我招呼嗰個丁老八，佢就夠肥夠邋遢，
一身鮮癩一撻撻，佢學啲狂人披頭髮，
一身污糟，不怕失禮，把口鬼咁滑。

睇真嗰對腳似鴨，佢條腰肥褲又窄，
痞響街邊揾嘢擦，佢唔食燒鵝食燒鴨，
切啲又燒，斬隻豬腳，蝦碌點芥辣。

行快啲啦，喂，一於走去揾嘢擦，
行快啲啦，喂，大注夾，啦，
死啦一對燒乳鴿，佢話最平四蚊八，
擦咗呢餐揾拖拍，佢就連咀都唔抹，
幾蚊身家，一晚輸晒，皆因中發白。

行快啲啦喂，啦喂，行快啲啦喂，喂。


又因為是用了『披頭四』名曲個 melody 填入廣東話歌詞的，請聽聽
Can't Buy Me Love ~ The Beatles




The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love
composed by Paul McCartney

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love


加註：
某天 和 爸爸 談起， 行快啲喇喂 首單曲， 不是黑膠碟硬的唱碟， 而是軟膠的唱碟，是甚至可以屈曲的，一言驚醒夢中人。 爸爸 好記性過我 。。。。。。對！！！







後記：
我也是很執輸還未去過，突然有天記起網友，曾在他的聊天室話去了mega box, 所以想去看看，就上網Search，知道有穿梭巴士往還九龍灣地鐵站。但最終都冇去到，睇吓遲啲涼爽啲再算。

我等到花兒也謝了

我等到花兒也謝了

這幅相片是在網上找到的

今朝醒來發覺 Prayer Plant (豹紋竹芋) 繼去年的花期，今季剛長出兩朵新的花兒，可惜相機沒有電力. 唯有立刻將電池再叉電，我等呀等，等呀等，等到花兒也謝了！


我等到花兒也謝了　試聽
唱：張學友 曲: 李偉菘 詞: 陳少琪 編: 趙增熹


旁人來靜靜看我到底哀傷等什麼
旁人來回關心中安慰愛已沒結果
熱烈地開解一生等妳也是奈何
彷彿我在拼命要希罕援助


旁人來靜靜看我到底哪裏出錯
何時重逢迷失中飄起造首歌
是舊日是認真執著的某個故事
可惜這份信念到今天多麼無助


曾天天真真的妳 愛假想某日別離後
如孤孤單單的我 會否等妳就似這歌
而飄飄忽忽的妳 到真的決定別離後
留低空空虛虛的我 估不到結局是這歌


你知不知道 你知不知道
我等到花兒也謝了
你知不知道 你知不知道
我等到花兒也謝了

你知不知道 你知不知道
我等到花兒也謝了


這兩幅才是我等到謝了的花兒， 嗚嗚.....嗚嗚....!

我等到花兒也謝了（續）

我等到花兒也謝了（續）



以下是幾幅去年花期拍下的相片:-

頗優雅的小花

你說這花兒像甚麼？

一組兩朵花兒甚少見到，我見到的，通常是續一朵開的。

「豹紋竹芋 」 籐蔓, 葉片對生, 葉片在有陽光時攤平, 無陽光時葉片合起來像手掌合十, 因此有花名叫 Prayer Plant , 祈禱樹。


Prayer Plant 的花兒短壽，朝早開花到了下午已經轉黃，黃昏前就全朵乾掉，跌下花盆的泥土上。我見到的，通常是續一朵開的，一組兩朵花兒甚少見到，所以昨天早上錯失了難得機會，實在可惜！
