Hack more

Yeah hack more.This  is the phrase that’s always found in the online games FPS (first person shooter) game like soldier front, where the kids will always cry and whine each time they got killed by their opponents.
But this has nothing to do with  that. In fact, the title may be irrelevant to what I am trying to [...]

Reminiscence of the old days

Time flies. All it takes is for one to pause for a moment, to realize that.

I had wanted to convert all the hard copies of my old film photos into digital form, for a long time.  All this while I had been dragging my feet on this, because I know it will be a tedious [...]

谈“康熙来了之艺界破英文大集合”感想

最近在报章上获知台湾的一个综艺节目“康熙来了”闹了一个风波,还是跟国人有连接的关系。话说节目的主题是关于艺人如何以“破英文”和外国人沟通。既然是“破英文”的主题,当然会联想起一些“鸡同鸭讲”的笑话。谈到申东靖在新加坡的经历时,所描述的一些例子,再加上其他艺人的反应,既然演变成一个风波的导火线。

听歌曲后的感言

        “伦敦玛莉莲 买了件旗袍送妈妈
   莫斯科的夫司基 爱上牛肉面疙瘩
   各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发
   嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话
   多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法
   这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化
   平平仄仄平平仄
   好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话” 
以上是S。H。E新专辑主打歌“中国话”歌词的小插曲. 话说“中国话”其实是要讨好中国市场,也因此成为了台湾社会议论的热门话题。既然能把歌艺和政治混合在一起,真的是佩服得五体投地。撇开政治一边,其实“中国话”里的歌词,其实满有意识的,也反映了国际的局势。一直以来,亚洲人都一直有崇洋的趋向,尤其是在我国,年轻人总把中文当成是犹如被遗忘的历史,是个毫无价值的东东,都把它当成是一种语言累赘。即使是历史古迹,也有它市场的价值,可惜国人都把中文置于比第三语言还不如重视的语言,可想象中文在国人心里的地位。当然,比起前几年(甚至是十几年前),国人对中文的热忱已经大有改善,而“中国话”这首歌其实也只不过表达了我的心声吧!

Feels good …

Physically I’m drained after being down with a nasty flu and am still trying to recover from it. But what makes me feel better, despite the bitter medication and the blocked nose, is that I think the relationship with one of our neighbours have gone in the positive direction.
It was a long story, and I don’t [...]
