世事變幻無常﹐往事已矣﹑人事全非﹐無奈哥哥已經隨風而去﹐只留下佳人對他的無限依稀懷念。
嫁為人婦淡出銀幕17年后的知名女星林青霞，近日又翩然轉身，以作家的身份出現在眾人面前。18日下午，林青霞現身北大百年講堂，為新書《窗里窗外》舉行內地首發座談會。而為她站台的兩位則是華語電影界的大人物，徐克和姜文。
現場，一向霸气外露的姜文導演不僅親自為林美人擔任主持人，更在言談中連連贊嘆林青霞魅力依舊。而香港怪才導演徐克不但甘當綠葉，為青霞串場主持，更在姜文的慫恿下，与林青霞共同哼唱起黃沾的經典名曲《滄海一聲笑》。
發布會最后，徐克姜文送上了兩人合作的一幅毛筆字：窗里人間事，窗外林上春。
今天才看到的﹐講的真TMD的到Point﹗
“Whatever u give a woman,she will make greater.If u give her sperm,she’ll give u a baby.If u give her a house,she’ll give u a home.If u give her a smile,she’ll give u her heart.She multiplies&enlarges what is given to her.So,if u give her any crap,be ready to receive a ton of shit”
This is the real picture (STS088-724-70) from the real NASA web site (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/)
When follow the link and click the bigger image, the actual effect is very shocking! Actually, there are 5 more pictures from the same capture time. (STS088-724-65 to 69)
I can’t explain what it is, the most closest explanation is the secret weapon from US or an alien space ship!
Of course the US government can easily make up something like this by putting a space ship image over the original, but why would they do this? But why does US government want to create such a turbulence in pubic by exposing their newly developed secret weapon that doesn’t particular benefit anything financially, politically or similar?
So I can’t think of any motivation behind the making up assumption except it’s the genuine photo.
It could be a Space Junk (could be an abandoned satellite) left there by US or USSR with the possibility less than 1% 
Actually, there are at least 6 other photos showing the strange shape objects standing still in space from NASA web site.
If it is space junk, then how can we explain the extra ignition fire on left of the body and the three fine aligned lights on the right edge, well it could be the reflection of sunlight, but unlikely.
Btw, one thing is sure, it’s not something an ordinary airplane can reach. This photo was taken from outer space with Spacecraft Altitude: 214 nautical miles (396 km) and the highest record for human airplane is only about 112km, so that’s 3 times more than the best aeroplane can reach.
“The highest altitude obtained by a manned aeroplane (launched from another aircraft) is 111,996 m (367,441 ft) by Brian Binnie in the Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne (powered by a Scaled Composite SD-010 engine with 18,000 lb of thrust) on 4 October 2004 at Mojave,”

Well, it is just a really blizzard picture with too many question marks after all.
我兩個月前才第一次有幸觀看這位被譽為Pavarotti接班人的演唱會﹐想不到今天竟成絕響﹗
記得那天Licitra還和觀眾開玩笑說最近的一次車禍傷的不輕﹐哪知道短短的4個月裡他竟然會遇到了兩次嚴重的車禍﹐這次上天終于帶走了另一個遺留在人間的天使。
是天嫉英才﹖還是命運中早已冥冥注定﹐天使被派來凡間，完成了使命後上帝就把他召返天國？
所以說人活在世上短短幾十年﹐有些事情還真的不能等﹐免得換來以後無儘的後悔。
The Telegraph – 6:20PM BST 06 Sep 2011
Salvatore Licitra, the opera singer, who died on Monday aged 43, was a contender for the title of the world’s next great tenor and had already been acclaimed the “new Pavarotti” on account of his ringing high notes, strong lower register, and considerable stamina.
He was catapulted to fame in dramatic fashion, stepping in at the last moment for Pavarotti in a gala performance of Puccini’s Tosca at the Metropolitan Opera in New York on the evening of May 11 2002.
Salvatore Licitra Only 55 hours earlier, on Thursday May 9, Licitra had been relaxing at his family’s apartment in Milan. Then his manager in New York, JF Mastroianni, called. “He asked me if I feel good,” Licitra said later. “I responded that I was rested and asked him why. He said maybe there is some job for me. I asked him what type of work. He said: ‘I’ll let you know.’”
Within the hour Mastroianni called back, uttering the decisive words: “Are you ready for a trip? There is some problem with Luciano.”
After Mastroianni’s call, Licitra was unable to sleep, watching television until 3.30am. He then caught a flight to London and Concorde to New York. Arriving at 9am on Friday morning, he reached the Met two hours later and spent another 12 hours going over a videotape of the production and attending piano rehearsals.
Pavarotti only added to the tension. His scheduled appearance was regarded by many as the likely finale to the superstar’s 41-year career in staged opera, and he dithered all day over whether to let his fans down or risk making a strained and under par appearance. Licitra knew only at about 7pm — an hour before curtain — that he would be going on stage. He finally met the conductor, James Levine, when the maestro dropped in to his dressing room 15 minutes later.
Related LinksLicitra put any nerves behind him. He earned lengthy ovations for his two big arias and, at the end of the opera, received a three-minute standing ovation from the audience of 4,000, each of whom had paid as much as $1,800 for their non-refundable tickets to hear Pavarotti. The critics agreed that a star had been born.
Salvatore Licitra was born on August 10 1968 at Berne, Switzerland, to Sicilian parents, and returned to Italy as a teenager to open a graphics shop with his brother. He started singing at 18, mimicking great Italian tenors such as Caruso and Gigli. He worked as a graphic artist on layouts for Italian Vogue, and studied at Carlo Bergonzi’s vocal academy until 1998, when he ran out of money.
Although scheduled to sing as an understudy at the Verona festival that summer, he so impressed the conductor Daniel Oren that he made his debut on the opening night as Riccardo in Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera.
Licitra was considered a genuine tenore spinto, with a voice finely balanced between the lyrical and the dramatic but with sufficient heft to play the heroes of the Italian core repertoire of Verdi and Puccini.
In Italy the frenzied search for the “Fourth Tenor”, or at least an heir to Pavarotti and his ageing Spanish contemporaries Placido Domingo and José Carreras, is likened to a papal succession. The difference is that the singing contest is carried out in full view of the faithful.
Licitra’s talent, and the drama of his substitution for Pavarotti, meant his name was added to the list of candidates for this vacancy.
After his triumph at the New York Met, he appeared on opera stages and concert platforms around the world. Under the baton of Ricardo Muti he sang at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and regularly appeared at La Scala and other venues in Europe, the United States and the Far East.
Offstage, Licitra was quick-witted, sunny and informal. He dispensed with the usual starry entourage, preferring the company of his parents, his brother and his fiancée.
Salvatore Licitra had spent nine days in a coma after crashing his scooter. His fiancée, who was riding pillion, was unhurt, but he never regained consciousness.
突發奇想﹐大家都說的“上帝面前﹐人人平等”﹐想深一層﹐那不還是說人死後。這跟李怡所講的“人的出生不是平等的，人的死亡是平等的”有著同曲異工之妙。
因為出版了兩本人生話題書，有人問我對人生能不能提出最基本的概括觀念。
人生的課題，不外是生與死，以及從生到死這中間的過程。人的出生不是平等的，有人含着金鑰匙出生，有人出生在窮困或破碎家庭，有人生而健康，有人生來有殘障。但在上帝面前是人人平等的。生而幸運的，要知道感恩。股神巴菲特說，他的富有，是因為他中了「卵巢獎券」，這獎券就是他出生在美國，又是男性和白人，這使他有較好的發展機會。他知道感恩。生而不幸的，不要抱怨。台灣一位生來患有嚴重腦麻痺症的女士黃美廉，她不能講話，做一些簡單動作都很困難，但她說父母愛她，上帝愛她，她會畫畫，寫文章，她只看自己所有的，不看自己所沒有的。她沒有抱怨。知道感恩和沒有抱怨的人，就有充實人生。
人的死亡是平等的。最有錢和最窮困的人，都要面對死亡。生前所有的一切，財富，權勢，爭鬥，愛恨情仇，當死亡到來都會成為過去。清楚認識人人會死，就不會把人生的成敗得失看得那麼重；看重的應是忠於自己，不要扭曲自己，是首要執着於是非對錯，而不是成敗得失。人生是一個過程，讓這過程有意義，享受這過程，比達到什麼目的和結果更重要。因為所有的目的和結果都會在人死時成為過去。故懂得提起，更要懂得放下。
即使了解以上的基本概念，也絕不能回應我們幾乎每天遇到的人生困惑。人生是一本一輩子讀不完的大書，有時一下就翻過了一頁，錯過一些重要細節，而往往魔鬼在細節中，天使在細節中，智慧也在細節中，儘管是小小的人生智慧。

I watached an interesting series of Ancient Aliens by Discovery Channel.
One of the episode I watched (forgot the link) is about Nazi and its advanced weapon, most of those top German scientist were captured after WWII and sent to America, the German guy who invented V-Rocket/Missile said their technology was actually from them (them being refer to aliens).
The more I knew, the more I tend to believe many religion gods or upper rulers in the past may be aliens.
The universe is is TOOO huge, combines billions of stars in our Galaxy and there are billions of Galaxies out there!
So it would be crazy to say there is no other life being in the universe besides us.
“I’ll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe is a pretty big place. It’s bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it’s just us… seems like an awful waste of space. Right?” from the Movie Contact.
One particular thing is Sir Frances Crick discovered the DNA in the 1960s and won the Nobel Prize.
http://exopermaculture.com/2011/04/14/francis-crick-on-dna-intelligent-design/
Sir Francis Crick has the following theory:
“Life did not evolve first on Earth; a highly advanced civilization became threatened so they devised a way to pass on their existence. They genetically-modified their DNA and sent it out from their planet on bacteria or meteorites with the hope that it would collide with another planet. It did, and that’s why we’re here. The DNA molecule is the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe. The immensity of complex, coded and precisely sequenced information is absolutely staggering. The DNA evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design.
Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first so-called’ simple cell(s). Our DNA was encoded with messages from that other civilization. They programmed the molecules so that when we reached a certain level of intelligence, we would be able to access their information, and they could therefore teach” us about ourselves, and how to progress. For life to form by chance is mathematically virtually impossible.”
我們口中所謂的Bad Luck很多時候都是自己幻想編織出來的﹐而且古人有曰“塞瓮失馬﹑焉之非福“。
面對這些未能預測的將來﹐很多時候我們都會感到迷茫和不知所措﹐這是正常的。身邊的朋友家人都經歷過不同的人生山坡﹐最後的勝利總是屬于那些有毅力堅持到終點的人們﹗
記住只要有信心﹐就可以克服這些暫時的困難﹗
而且你有關心你的家人和朋友﹐其實無論發生什麼事﹐還有我會在你身邊﹐別怕﹗
突然想起前天Post的那首歌原來是上天精心安排今天給你聽的﹐真巧﹗
Look how far we’ve come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we’d get there someday
多年來一直有閱讀肥佬黎的專欄﹐這期的“因為信”講得不錯﹐的確講出了我這些年的經驗﹕山重水複疑無路，柳暗花明又一村 (宋‧陸游)
What’s going on? 到一個新地方，心裡你不期然會這樣問。不管是有意識或直覺地，人都會有好奇心，因為知覺在發生的新生事物好奇就是人生的一切。對新生事物固然好奇，對將要發生的事情同樣好奇。正在發生的事情會繼續發生下去，發生過的事情卻不能再發生。世事不會重複，正發生的事情卻永遠繼續下去。
如果生老病死便是生命，那麼這些「發生」的過程便是生活。這些「發生」跟人如影隨形，每一個人的生命中都不缺。生命完結便再沒有生活，沒有生活的生命是走肉行屍般的死物，既然生而為人卻選擇做走肉行屍，那不是太吃力了嗎？沒有生活的人生，死了是否更化算？
放工途中想到人存在的價值這個永恒的問題。平時習慣路上讀書，今晚可挑不起這個心情，從車上東張西望街景。老婆仔女回來了，個多月沒有見面，他們到底怎麼樣了？想起他們，腦中浮現他們的形象。我什麼也沒有做，只是在想，一切都只是想像，似乎什麼也沒有發生過，但我知道生命在縈繞一些事情蜿蜒蹉跎，我知道我是生活着。
你可有試過激怒兄弟姊妹，到他們喊了出來才甘心，才覺得心涼？不用說，你當然試過！你是壞人嗎？當然不是。他吃了我最喜歡吃的叉燒包，我要報復！你不要假手於人，而要親手奪回公道，好親自嘗到那痛快的激動！你邪惡嗎？不，你只不過是在生活。
人要是沒有報復之心，許多事情便不會發生，令生活少了缺陷。生活一定要有缺陷嗎？沒有缺陷，那你會懺悔嗎？你會自省嗎？你會謙卑嗎？沒有缺陷的完美人生，那會多可怕！不會懺悔，自省和謙卑的人多麼可悲！缺陷是面鏡子，好照亮你的人生，自戀？自大？那是孤芳自賞，固步自封，故此是死路一條。
沒有了報復之心，不管多麼傷天害理的事情也沒有人出手報復，甚至以惰性的麻木為寬恕，視之為美德，這樣的社會非但大有缺陷，更無可救藥。是的，個人固然要從缺陷中反省，社會又何嘗不要反省？若然對作奸犯科、傷天害理的人視而不見甚至惰性麻木，讓謀財害命的兇手或強姦犯逍遙法外，這個世界又還得了？
是的，我們不會寬恕這些壞人，我們要報復，將他們繩之於法。故此報復是社會作反省的一個辦法。《聖經》說：「窮人永遠與我們同在。」同樣的真理是：「人有原罪，因而人的罪惡也永遠與我們同在。」見到窮人，我們反省，觸發慈悲之心；面對罪惡，我們反省，學曉謙卑。
耶穌不也要我們寬恕別人嗎？是的，我們要寬恕人，而非罪惡。人會懺悔，罪惡可永遠不會懺悔。我們寬恕懺悔的人。懺悔，人因而得到救贖。救贖是愛，愛是寬恕。人可以愛身邊的人卻不能救贖他們，我們的愛只不過是上天救贖的折射而已。人本來沒有愛，因為上天的救贖才有了愛。福音早就說過了。在人生路上，每當我們打開一扇門那便猶如打開潘朵拉的盒子，我們無從知道從門後走出來的會是魔鬼還是天使，但我們還是打開門，否則人生便沒有出路了！不打開面前那扇門，一切處於靜止，沒有啥事情發生過，面前這扇門便是個休止符。不打開這扇門，一切無驚無險，但我們也就完蛋了。生活是一連串不斷發生的事情，將要發生的事情都蘊藏風險。我們眼前擺了個潘朵拉的盒子，那是讓我們去打開的，好讓我們繼續活下去，這個盒子是我們人生路上的清泉。
生命就是驚險，面對驚險就是生活。驚險令生活不斷蛻變，令我們不斷面對新生事物，我們走不掉會不斷犯錯，不斷被救贖，不斷激發對生命的熱愛，不斷衍生激情，在這蜿蜒的蹉跎中不斷自我完善，因為缺陷這面鏡子永遠都在照耀我們。
打開這扇門，若然走出魔鬼來那怎麼辦？魔鬼是在微笑嗎？還是我們向魔鬼微笑？魔鬼是你眼中的影舞者，還是硬要闖進你生命的邪惡？是的，你害怕，未打開門你已經怕得要死，甚至魔鬼也知道你怕得要死。那個時候你就像個自殘的人，在水中割脈滲血好引誘吃人鯊。心中恐懼，魔鬼又怎不來找你？
當你慌張得眼中只有影舞者，即使打開門後有天使站在面前你也看不到，祂只好黯然退下。本來要發生的好事卻被你的心魔趕走。因為懼怕，多少本來要發生的事情也就沒有發生過了，多少美好的生活是被影舞者遮蔽了？多少生命又被蹉跎了？我們不信，事情便永遠不會發生。信，便要打開那扇門。不信，那又打開門來幹什麼？你還要犯無聊嚇唬自己嗎？
打開門，邪惡的魔鬼真的站在面前那又怎麼辦？事情都是這樣發生的。我們看不見上帝，卻要見到魔鬼，那不是太吊詭嗎？不，我們要信便是這個原因。信，我們便有沛然勇氣，這無比的勇氣會把魔鬼嚇得落荒而逃。
儘管看不到祂，我們感受到神賜予的福祉、天使的微笑，因此我們相信。信，門才會為我們打開，門打開魔鬼落荒而逃，因為我們信了。信是打開生活之門的動力，打開了門、打破寂靜，事情才會發生，才會跳躍出希望。為什麼只有在魔鬼會出沒的地方才有希望？因為有困難的地方我們才會有希望找到解除艱困的辦法，因為驅散了魔鬼的黑影我們才會看到光芒。
誰要無災無難到公卿的人生？無聊透頂，悶都悶死人，睏都睏死人了。無災無難、無驚無險，你來到世上幹什麼？吃飯拉糞嗎？我六十多歲了，再創業做電視就是不想無驚無險度過餘生。打開電視這扇門果然有隻猙獰地狡笑的魔鬼跟我撞個正着。我愣了愣，噢，知道了，這是個啟示，空穴來風，魔鬼不會無緣無故站在我眼前的。我向那狡笑的魔鬼微笑，因為在那猙獰面具背後其實是天使。
上帝彷彿在跟我說，你相信我嗎？我相信。我知道此番經歷帶來啟示，告訴我不要走傳統的路，因為此路不通，故此上天派來魔鬼擋路，不容我硬闖，要我另闢蹊徑。舉頭一看，嘩，果然，新的前景就在柳暗花明中；平坦的大道倒是奏響輓歌的黃泉路。哎，好險啊！
噢，對不起，我忘了他站在那裡。喔，對不起，不能令他心涼了，他太吃力嗎？他會寂寞嗎？呀，還是忘記他吧！
但，你真的要信，相信困難不是條末路，而是要你尋找新的開始。沒有人可以告訴你新的途徑在哪裡。世上沒有先知。但困難會告訴你：此路不通，另闢蹊徑吧！只要肯去找，你便會找到出路。但，你要相信哦，站在面前的不是魔鬼而是天使的化身，你會讓天使鈴聲在心靈中響起嗎？信吧！前面並無邪惡，那全是嚇唬沒信念的人的鬼臉，鬼臉的背後是祂的恩典，因為祂做的一切全都是為了你。舉頭望望那面缺陷造的鏡子吧。

昨晚與幾位熟悉的中學同學再次聚首﹐感覺恍如隔世﹐大家談了許久﹐但還是有好多想講的話可能因為興奮過度的原因突然又忘記了。
朦朧的記憶裡總覺得大家某時某刻曾經同桌過﹐但如何也再記不起到底是中一﹑中二還是中三﹑中四了。
席間大家回憶了不少當年的趣事﹐巧合地大家當年都是“機痴”﹑“無機不歡”的那一群﹐也就是師長口中好學生的反面教材。“斗快跑去機舖”﹑“走鬼”﹑“比差佬周”幾乎已經成為我們4個人的共通點。而我更為經典﹐一個鮮為人知的秘密﹐就是曾經擁有一個考試前打機打到連書包都給人偷了的“壯舉”。現在想起以前的這些反而覺得大家有些“綠林好漢”一齊共事的感覺﹐看得出﹐現場大家都為年輕時的“瘋狂”流露出一絲得意的笑容。
從前感覺比較漫不經心的L﹐現在完全脫胎換骨﹐變成一個成熟穩重的生意人。想不到數學不是那麼突出的他竟然在大學修讀的是數學Major﹐其實曾經在海外留學過的同學﹐都有同感﹐就是培正的數學真的是名不虛傳﹐早早已經給我們打好了穩固的基礎。
另外老友S幾乎跟記憶中的他沒什麼改變﹐尤其是講電話的時候﹐完全回到了舊時的感覺。之後大家電話談起原來都曾經有同班女生暗戀的事情﹐那青澀甜蜜的感覺現在還記憶猶新。
最奇妙的是同學P﹐大家應該從來都沒有同班過﹐應該是那種“以機會友”的關係﹐但他對我的影象比較深刻﹐我去英國讀A-Level前還送過我一件T-Shirt﹐連款式和顏色他也描繪的栩栩如生﹐而我很不好意思地什麼都忘記了﹐可能當初他在機鋪我全神貫注打機的時候塞給我這份真摯的臨別禮物。
談起以前老師們﹐“滅絕師太”人稱第一﹐沒人敢認第二﹐同學P連“滅絕”“慘無人道”的“陰濕”出題方式也記得﹐想必當年肯定吃了不少“甜頭”。“羅艷貞”這個鼎鼎大名的訓導主任當年可說無人不曉﹐同學L說李瑋曾經是“羅生”的“改過自新”的榜樣﹐這個倒是第一次聽說。同樣令人聞風喪膽的“陳力行”見到都要迴避三舍﹐還有很多﹐但大家記憶中只剩下這些老師的“花名”和那些陳年的趣事了。
培正附近的街道舖子現在已經面目全非了﹐很多以前的兒時記憶已經搬的搬﹑拆的拆﹐“雅閣”﹑“紅寶石”﹑“夏銘記”﹐就連“金鳳”$9的學生餐“窩蛋牛肉飯”L都記得清清楚楚。以前的那些“水滸傳梁山好漢”的聚集腳地如“東寶”﹑“勝利道機鋪”早已消失在歷史記憶中了﹐唯獨機鋪始祖“德樂”多年來依然屹立不倒﹗勁﹗
命運的安排就是這麼奇妙﹐原來同桌有3位曾經在某一段時間竟然一同在北美東岸生活過﹐二個在Ontario﹐另一個在Montreal。這次想必也是在緣份的巧妙安排下﹐大家兜了大半個地球﹐又回到了最初兒時的相識地。
回家以後馬上認真地開了個FB賬號﹐把大家都加了進來﹐希望以後的聚會不需要再等20多年﹐真的﹐“人生有幾多個20年啊”﹐這句話很熟悉是不﹖哈哈。。。
