My Random Blogging

In this entry... there will be posts that can't seem to make sense to some, and doesn't really make sense to others. hahaha

Check out this car no. plate



if only the no.plate can go with this bike (which happens to be my fav)



say simon.. when are u going to present mi the bike that i posted? hahaha


went to Jurong point a few day ago.. dine in @ BentoBox


Friend tried their bento, while i went for the chicken teriyaki noodle



damm.. the chicken was so tender! i had absolute no problem to cut the chicken into small portions by juz using a fork n spoon! lol.

hmm...

I would be surprised if Huang just comes into someone's home and helps himself to a drink in the refrigerator. This can be both an obnoxious personality trait and it can be assertive and effective in getting what you want. There isn't much fear of getting in trouble here, Huang finds plenty of reasons to break the rules and get in trouble. - taken from handwriting analysis

actually, i'm not the sort, but i happen to meet one today

was helping a friend (1) to copy some files into some CDR while another friend (2)happen to be 'wandering' around aimlessly in my hse.

then all of a sudden, friend (2) just decided to play treasure hunt in my house.

friend (2) began by exploring around, going in to rooms, raiding the fridge, plays with the TV and even complain to me that one of the room was locked.

duhz.. please la.. it's my HOUSE for god damm sake.

it'z already v. RUDE to go ard open up every fuckin room w/o asking me and you still can complain that there is a LOCKED door that prevents you from entering?

not scolding u doesn't meant that i approve of such behavior.

forget it, you wun have a 2nd chance to visit my house ever again... same for friend (1)

当我们不再一起,

美學的悲劇

credit to ID4


台灣這個社會越來越重視所謂的時尚流行，用白話說：也就是外觀。
外觀有沒有需要一個共同的標準？很遺憾的，我已經不能再使用「見仁見智」這個詞彙來套用在台灣的社會了，
如今一切的媒體（網路、電視、平面如報刊雜誌等）所見所聞，標準大相同！

昨日在書店上才看到一本書：【世界是平的】！
也許大家都看到了這樣的一個商機：當整個世界越來越扁平化、越來越多資訊可以透過：無線、無時間限制的網
路來聯繫協同時，是一幅多麼美好又神奇的未來啊！
是沒錯，一切的商業流通以及價值觀，都可以透過網路來做超倍速的傳達及流通，不過另一面的問題也就是：價
值觀只會越來越一致。
當全世界都在使用MSN 來溝通，共通的符號以及溝通模式會很相似，除了表面上的語言符碼相異以外，一些看不
到的隱性模式在大家身上都是一樣的。
日本的經濟趨勢觀察家－大前研一也曾在自己的書本提及：很多人在真正見到他之前，就已經可以透過 google
來搜尋到關於他的生平以及資料了，所以在提問或者彼此交換意見可以更有效率。
只是在台灣，更多的問題產生在外觀上面。
台灣的美術教育，或者說是審美教育吧，根本就是零。
除了一些不斷的訓練自己的標準的美術工作者以外，一般人的美術視野簡直是貧乏的可以。加上在教育階段之中
，因為智育至上的觀念所害，本來給予的審美價值及培養的時間就不夠了。
一般大眾又常常容易遇到因為自身能力及眼光狹隘造成的挫折，很多東西因為之前累積的不夠，通通一概用「看
不懂」來敷衍過去，然後就避而不見、反正沒看到就不存在了。在網路上常常出現的討論不乏：「因為我看不懂
，所以這是一部爛片！」當一個標準我們無法理解的時候，挫折感是必然的 … 只不過以往（尚未有網路年代）
的人還會有些許耐性與「容忍範圍」內的時間去調適，如今這個光速變化的時代裡，這是一種極度的奢侈。最好
有個標準與模式可以馬上套用，一概而論是更加的方便與容易。
「因為我看不懂，所以這是一部爛片！」
如果用這個標準來審視人類的文明，最應該消滅的就是人文學科，特別是哲學。
最適合保留的會是宗教與經濟學吧： P

普羅大眾們通常信仰的標準，在經歷了短時的挫折之後，就會轉向媒體塑造的神話體系去。原因很簡單嘛！快速
又統一的標準，還有那麼多的商業系統（購物台、直銷商品、美妝店、網路通路等）可以作為我們的時尚補給後
盾。想成為夜店女王？看電視學彩妝！再不然去個髮型店、翻幾本雜誌、跑一跑服飾店，每個店員可以給妳的資
訊必然是類似或一致的標準。

會造成這樣的視覺環境，跟資本主義徹底的大鳴大放有絕對的關係，在過往的威權年代裡，我們只能接受而不是
給予價值的主流群，但是當資本主義盛行的時候，有消費力的人才是主人，才能主導整個經濟體系的價值與走向
。一個新產品或者新觀念能不能流行跟留名清史，判斷者往往不是學者跟聰明人，而是多數的一般大眾，因為她
們才握有多數的商機與消費能力。
就是因為如此，美學的觀念也趨於一致：多數的人要什麼，標準就會是什麼。
當我的新加坡朋友告訴我：台灣的女生化妝都跟日本女生分辨不出來的時候；我就知道：網路造成的美學標準扁
平化，嚴重的程度到了什麼地步。
流行這東西就像風，她怎麼吹、我們只好怎麼跑；流行與時尚的標準越一致，我們自己的獨立性就只好越脆弱、
越茫然罷了。
又，大家透過網路建構的術語價值幾乎雷同的時候，可以反抗主流觀念的個人聲音就會更薄弱與無意義。因為那
些也會被統合到所謂的某個特定術語之中而已，如此而已。
所以。
大家在世界上所存在的價值，其實並不是外觀所給他人的美好與炫目、也不是一切跟別人溝通過程裡的文字碼與
聲音碼、更不是放在腦袋裡跟別人大同小異的世界觀與思維腦波電流，充其量 … 我們只是個給商業體系金錢流
通的無腦傀儡而已。
如此而已。
在地球的眼中， 抑或者是神吧？我們不過是一堆螞蟻，
有點自以為有腦袋的螞蟻。

信任的代價

我一個同學給我看了篇文章，是評論劉禪是否真為阿斗的。
其實，君臣之間的關係本就很難互相真誠的信任，就如同現代的上司與下屬的關係
，一個主管要不要讓下面的人放手去幹、完全的去相信這個人，眼光正不正確，決
定了今後的命運。
劉禪完全讓諸葛亮去處理內政以及外交，讓蜀國不至於在孔明身死後馬上滅亡，光
這一點就跟明末的崇禎大異其趣。中國有句老名言：將在外，君命有所不受。可誰
真的敢完全不聽上頭老闆的話獨斷獨行？不管這行是對是錯，主子一個不爽下來，
誰知道下一道詔書是不是來提拿自己人頭的？
雖說袁崇煥知道自己下場的時候，該會是多麼的痛苦跟悲哀啊!
可同時，崇禎聽信讒言，誤以為袁崇煥真的通敵背主，那心裡的苦悶應該也不亞於
袁崇煥吧...

但是更可悲的是，古代君臣的關係卻少了充分的溝通管道，否則，筵席一擺、有什
麼心聲可以趁大家開懷暢飲之際，毫無芥蒂的彼此交心，豈不痛快！
信任之難，莫過於此啊！
可惜的是，通常人經歷了一些事情、嚐過了一些苦頭之後，就越來越難去相信別人
，因為信任的代價，就是有被背叛的可能。越相信一個人，對方產生變化的時候，
自己卻常常依照著過去的印象，有些認知上的誤差恐怕就越來越大了。
除了這個風險以外，更令人擔心害怕的是，對方背叛了自己帶來的代價。
那種苦與痛，常常導致了喪心病狂的反擊，最後招致的悲劇，遠遠僅比自個兒傷心
酒醉要慘的太多、太多了。

Back from trip le... so damm tired..

Handwriting Analysis

Handwriting Analysis of Huang

True or not. u tell me.
******* The Analysis Starts Here *******

For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space.  If the inputted data was correct Huang has no white space or margins on a typical sheet of paper.  Huang fills up every last inch on the top, right, left, and bottom.  Hmmm.   If this is true, then Huang has a very aggressive personality toward others and quite frankly lacks a bit of respect for the space and property of other people.  I would be surprised if Huang  just comes into someone's home and helps himself to a drink in the refrigerator.    This can be both an obnoxious personality trait and it can be assertive and effective in getting what you want.  There isn't much fear of getting in trouble here, Huang finds plenty of reasons to break the rules and get in trouble.  (Okay, perhaps when he was younger, not anymore?)  Basically, people with no margins are a handful.

Huang exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although he may not intend to deceive or mislead, he blows things way out of proportion because that is the way he views them. He will be a good story teller. This exaggeration relates to all areas of his material world. Huang allows many people into his life because he is accepting and trusting. He is sometimes called gullible by his friends. That only really means that he trusts too many people. Huang has a vivid imagination.

Huang is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect his ego when he feels hurt. He pokes people harder than he gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Huang is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth.  This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts.  he finds joy in anticipation and planning.  Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned.  Huang basically feels good about himself.  He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success.  He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to.  However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach".  He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals.  A good esteem is one key to a happy life.  Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.

In reference to Huang's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Huang slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Huang can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Huang will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

Huang will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Huang believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Huang is moderately outgoing. His emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, he can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. He has the ability to put himself into the other person's shoes.

Huang will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes he will be happy, the next day he might be sad. He has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because he is in between. Psychology calls Huang an ambivert. He understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, he will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." He doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing him to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to him. He puts himself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet he will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Huang is an expressive person. He outwardly shows his emotions. He may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Huang is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. He weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when he finally has to. He basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially.  According to the data input, Huang doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

According to the inputted data, Huang has a stinger shape inside the oval of his a, d, or c. This might be hard to visualize, but if this little hooklike shape is present, then Huang has an unresolved "issue" with strong members of the opposite gender. An occasional appearance of this stroke could indicate a simple "loves a mental challenge" which can manifest in playful linguistic conversations and being attracted to a lover who isn't always available. However, if the stroke is severe, this means the individual has unresolved anger at the oppostive gender - which usually started with the person's childhood relationship with the opposite gender parent (Mom or Dad). If the writer is a woman she will be attracted to strong challenging men. If the writer is a man, he will find the woman who is "hard to get" the most attractive. In a nutshell, people with stingers in their writing tend to have challenges in their romantic relationships.

For more information about this "stinger" trait, visit this webpage: http://www.myhandwriting.com/analyze/hlltrt5.html. Remember, it is only negative if the traits occurs often and is quite pronounced. An occasional stinger can be no problem.

楚漢驕雄

這個故事老實說,我國小就很熟了...剛愎自用的項羽跟老謀深算的劉邦...
這樣的對比組合,任誰都會覺得很有意思.
不過要怎麼詮釋出兩人的差異與細節上的歷史轉折點?
對導演真的是個大挑戰.

從中國的傳統史家觀點來說,一個王者與霸者是截然不同的.
孟子的不嗜殺人者能一之,這種理想只能聽聽,真要全盤相信
不是腦袋壞掉就是過於天真的浪漫主義者吧...
劉邦要說他不是王者之才,倒也未必,開國三傑都是被他的人格特質
所吸引的,一個沒有能力的庸庸之輩,何能闖出一番事業,
何況是統一天下?要統一天下多少要點運氣,
但是要全靠運氣好就可以做到,這也太小說了.

把錯都推給項羽身上,也過於一面之辭.
他只是個性情中人,又恰巧在一些時間點上過於婦人之仁而已.
試問如果我們是項羽,能否在鴻門宴當機立斷斬殺劉邦?稱西楚霸王之後,
又能忍住富貴不還故鄉的誘惑?當權勢在手,對敵人難道又能夠真正的寬容嗎?

這部港劇的兩個主角恰巧都是我很喜歡的演員,
改變戲路的鄭少秋跟壞中帶帥的江華...
同樣的劇本,給不一樣的人來詮釋,就會有不同的趣味與意義在...
我期待著.


想法好一樣阿老挨。。。哈哈。。

一些感想

虛幻和現實只差一線之間

人通常是活在現實的虛幻世界。

當然也有人活在虛幻的現實世界。

我也曾見過人活在虛幻的幻想世界。。

就是沒看過現實的實在的世界。

如果永恆國度真的存在﹐ 它是虛幻還是現實呢?

何為六道眾生 ﹐ 何為輪迴轉世。 是虛幻嗎? 還是比真金還要真的現實呢?

天命所規﹐ 命運齒輪﹐ 早已所定。 是真的嗎? 還是人們逃避的借口?

何為生死有命﹐富貴在天。 何為聽天由命?

難到天真的對每個人都有安排嗎? 那麼為何那麼多人都不滿意現狀?

是人類的虛榮心作祟嗎? 還是人類本能 ‘不安分守己’ 在作怪

個位判官評評理吧


我只相信。。。我命由我不由天
