ET… Blob

Recently I’ve been reading a book called “The Purpose-Driven Life” by Rick Warren. Jane happened to be reading the same book too. It’s supposed to be a 40 day spiritual journey in understanding the purpose of life, so I try to read one chapter each day, if not one every two days. I’m still up [...]

In the past few days (Thu-Sun), a few of us from CCCB went to Melbourne for a leadership retreat. Many things happened, as our bond grows stronger more than ever. The central gravity of this bond is not something that was built overnight, and is one that will last for eternity through Him. I made [...]

Today I was thinking about some Edward DeBono thinking skills… There’s logical vs lateral thinking. Something in my mind triggered, and I remembered this novel I read back in high school – “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. There was a part of the story that went something like this: Some level of people can [...]

今天是發生很虎濫的兩件事情. 寫來做個紀錄而已. 連”感想”都懶得寫了. 1. “有空幫我看嗎?” “好, 等我寫完這個就來” (很不削的說:) “你不想看的話那你只看這句就好了” 我心想 WTF, 我有說我’不想’幫他嗎? 他是在說話得罪人. 他說他那樣說的原因是 “因為我每次問你你都說等一下, 想說你是助けてあげたくない” (WTFx2) 2. 他問可不可以寄PDF給人, 我回說如果檔案沒有很大就大丈夫. 之後問我可不可以幫他做個比較小さい的, 我就要把我所有仕事丟下先做他的, 不然又說我 “不想助け”. 弄了好久, 最小的檔案還是太大, 問JPG可不可以. “只要是可以寄出去就好.” 那我就弄了兩個JPG. “為什麼要ふたつ檔案? 對方可以按次のページ嗎?” 我解釋圖案檔案是沒有次のページ的. “我電腦能力沒你那麼好, 我怎麼知道PDF與JPG有什麼分別. 而且ふたつ附加檔案太麻煩了, 對方怎麼會知道要開兩個. 像我的話就不會知道.” WTFx3 所以現在是說他自己不會開附加檔案囉. 很清楚那是ウソ. 那平常朋友阿老闆給的信件不還是有很多附加檔案嗎. 本当にウソ. OMG… 從大學開始用電腦, 說不知道PDF與JPG的分別. 私ととぼけてはいけな!! 基本常識, 不會就學阿. 有Google就不該有藉口. バガだろ。 To dig into the depths [...]

突然想起很多年前的一次church retreat. 當時彭神父來到布市 (他偶而就會來一次). 我已經忘記 retreat 內容了. 只記得有一部分, 大家都很安靜, 眼睛閉起來, 神父把手放在我們每個人的臉上. 我好像是其中年紀最小的參加這 retreat. 這結束後, 神父問大家有什麼感受. 有人問神父: “你的手是不是有擦香油?” 神父回答說: “沒有. 你們所聞到的, 是主送給我們的香味, 大家聞到的都不一定一樣.” 覺得很神奇… 有人覺得是香油, 有的是花香, 有的什麼都聞不到, 我則是… 聞到我愛吃的牛肉腸粉豉油… 不懂… 只覺得很奧妙. 主創造人, 讓我們有五官, five senses, 就是要讓我們感受祂給我們的一切. 不過我到今時今日還會想, 神父手上怎麼會發出那麼多味道? 這是科學無法解釋的. 除非… 那味道是…. OMG

I’d just like to say, thank you for everything… The letter you wrote yesterday was indeed very touching, and nearly brought me to tears, and I’m sure it has touched many of our hearts. Yes, recent days we have all been very busy with our preparations, at times we have neglected our loved ones including [...]

人越是長大了, 就越難表達自己. No, that’s not totally correct. 人老了, 就不會表達自己. No, that’s not right either. 怎麼說呢? 小時候天真無邪的各位, 想什麼就說什麼. 友誼愛情阿什麼關係都很直接. 長大以後, 我們都發現世上很多”假人”, 也有很多”怪人”. Some of these people are scared of “confrontation”; so scared that it’s sad. They are a most stubborn group of people, who have absolute terror of expressing emotions. To do this they avoid confrontation [...]
