最近在網路上看到這樣的小故事:
數年前，一對老夫婦，女的穿著一套褪色的條紋棉布衣服，而她的丈夫則是穿著布製的便宜西裝，也沒有事先約好，就直接去拜訪哈佛的校長。
校長的祕書在片刻間就斷定這兩個鄉下老土根本不可能與哈佛有業務來往。
先生輕聲的說︰「我們要見校長。」
祕書很不禮貌的說︰「他整天都很忙。」
女士回答說︰「沒關係，我們可以等。」
過了幾個鐘頭，祕書一直不理他們，希望他們知難而退，自己走開。
可是他們卻一直等在那裡。
祕書終於決定通知校長︰「也許他們跟您講幾句話就會走開。」
校長不耐煩的同意了。
校長很有架子而且心不甘情不願的面對這對夫婦。
女士告訴他︰
「我們有一個兒子曾經在哈佛讀過一年，他很喜歡哈佛、 他在哈佛的生活很快樂。但是去年，他出了意外而死亡。
我丈夫和我想要在校園裡為他立一個紀念物。」
校長並沒有被感動，反而覺得可笑，粗聲地說︰
「夫人我們不能為每一位曾讀過哈佛而死亡的人建立雕像的。 如果我們這樣做，我們的校園看起來會像墓園一樣。」
女士很快的說︰
「不是，我們不是要豎立一座雕像，我們想要捐一棟大樓給哈佛。」
校長仔細的看了一下條紋的棉布衣服及粗布的便宜西裝，然後吐一口氣說︰
「你們知不知道建一棟大樓要花多少錢嗎？學校的建築物超過七百五十萬元。」
這時，這位女士沈默不講話了。
校長很高興，總算可以把他們打發了。
只見這位女士轉向她丈夫說︰「只要七百五十萬就可以建一座大樓?那我們為什麼不建一座大學 來紀念我們的兒子？」
她的丈夫點頭同意。
而哈佛的校長覺得很混淆和困惑。
就這樣，史丹佛先生夫人離開了哈佛，到了加州，成立了史丹佛大學來紀念他們的兒子。
_____________________________________________
乍看之下是一個警惕人心的小故事, 但我想, 史丹佛不是19世紀就成立了嗎, 幹嘛一棟建築要750萬? 在19世紀, 阿拉斯加才價值720萬耶...
上wiki查了一下, 史丹佛大學真的是爲了紀念一位15歲的史丹佛, 但史丹佛把拔是鐵路大亨, 前加州州長, 也是美國國會議員, 哈佛的校長在怎麼樣也該認識吧.
老史丹佛建校前有詢問過哈佛校長, 如果要在加州蓋一間哈佛規格的大學要多少錢, 哈佛校長說大概1500萬.
所以上面的小故事是虛構的, 網路上的垃圾很多...

錢多事少離家近
錢多事少離家近、睡覺睡到自然醒、位高權重責任輕；
老闆說話不用聽、五年就領退休金、領錢領到手抽筋；
旅遊出國休假勤、股票分紅拼命領、出差作事別人請；
金融風暴不擔心、月月出國去散心、雙Ｂ跑車任我行；
金卡銀卡刷不停、吃喝玩樂錢照領、全家出遊有獎金；
回來聊天談事情、經理來了不用停、只說謝謝你關心；
下班走人你最行、上班在家吃點心、遲到說是出外勤；
說了只有鬼相信、哪有這等好事情、原來作夢還沒醒；
醒來只有酒一瓶、藉酒澆愁撫心情、沒有付出沒報應！

You can bet on it
Gambling is always part of human natural, to bet on uncertainty, or else it wouldn't be a bet. We can bet on sports, events, and we can bet for beer, food, money, or love.
I was listening to radio the other day, there were bets on whether Prince William and his new bride will wear a cowboy hat in Calgary Stampede or not, or if he is going to hold a Quebec flag.
My extend of gambling is probably buying lottery, which is not a good investment, considering the winning percentage is extremely low. But the best part is actually the 10 min after I bought the ticket, I think about what to do with the money if I had won the lottery.
Unfortunately, the effect of that started to wear out when I age, another side effect of getting old.

Goodbye - Air Supply
Goodbye by Air Supply, to ms. cake
I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize
All you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of

長假
早在大學年代, 我就一直想要做眼睛雷射矯正的手術, 但遲遲不敢去做, 花了不少時間去研究, 錢也存好了, 就是沒有膽.
做手術就成了我年年的目標. 直到今年, 直到明天, 終於要做手術了.
記得一開始想要存手術錢的時候, 還在奶茶店打工, 那時沒有新聞媒體大肆渲染的毒奶, 但有那一直反覆放的CD, 就是長假電視劇的配樂, 聽了一年, 自己也跑去買了一張, 那音樂就成了我那時成長的配樂.
說也奇怪, 我到現在一次都沒看過長假, 裡頭的卡司可嚇人, 除了木村拓哉與三口智子, 還有 稻森泉、松隆子、竹野內豐和廣末涼子, 這麼大陣仗, 大慨也是日劇的全盛時期吧...

感情良民證
有位女性朋友這個月結婚, 所有事情都自己參與, 但反而在伴娘這關一個頭兩個大. 懷孕的不行, 要結婚的不行, 已結婚的不行, 離過婚的不行, 不想結婚的不行, 私生活太亂的不行, 太肥的不行, 不熟的不行, 太公主的不行, 搞了半天, 好像是她要找老婆一樣.
我與其中一位幸運入選的伴娘開會, 也聊到她的感情生活, 她也有自己的麻煩, 談的來的不見得適合, 適合的又不來電, 適合又談的來的又有一堆情感包袱.
我開始覺得, 是不是感情世界也要有所謂的良民證, 這跟好人卡不同, 感情良民證是給想要穩定感情生活的男女們使用. 無不良紀錄, 像是破壞其他人家庭, 劈腿, 打人, 罵街, 恐嚇... 或是有案底, 但已服過刑, 並有改過自新.
看來, 有良民證的人並不多...

The dream
One sure sign of getting old is when you feel sleepy on a saturday afternoon, especially right after lunch, and it continues before and after dinner. Back in the days, Saturday nights were charged with energy. No, I didn't go out and party much, but standing in line in front of some crappy club trying to get in, for hours, did happen a few times.
So I went to bed early.
Then I dreamt of the semester before I was about to graduate from SFU. It was the time when I couldn't wait to get out of school, but was also very scared of the unknown lying ahead, the world outside, seems to be a lot bigger and scarier back then.
After I woke up, sat in the same room I slept in when I was still in SFU. I thought about the school, I thought about how much I have changed since, but the world doesn't seem to be as big nor scary anymore.
Maybe that is another sure sign of getting old.

王老師你老師!
有時不得不覺得, 台灣近幾年的亂象完全要歸功於媒體, 那豐富的水果日報,數字日報, 還有好幾台的二十四小時新聞, 弄得好像每一天的台灣都很熱鬧, 當然, 台灣人本來就很愛湊熱鬧.
台灣人也很迷信, 政客當然也知道, 一到選舉, 一個個無論是藍是綠, 乖乖去廟裡拜拜上香, 選上了, 還可以題個字, 作個匾額留名千古...
最近有個王老師, 說什麼台灣在五月十一日會有十四級地震, 先是有一堆人網上傳來傳去, 後是有民眾尾隨王老師, 再來媒體去訪問, 談話性節目請專家, 最後連內政部長都要發言.
你說是誰比較白癡? 王老師? 信他的人群? 媒體? 政府官員? 還是不信但也要跟在旁邊起鬨的人?

Confession of a gamer
You may not know Sean Plott, and you will probably never know this dude. He is a professional gamer living in LA, he won some international gaming contest back in 2005-2007, and started his own edutainment video on youtube under the name Day[9] Daily.
It is a little hobby of mine, to watch his youtube video from time to time, even though his videos are about Starcraft 2, a game that I don't own nor play. His videos are entertaining nevertheless.
I just thought of him as a nerd who plays too much video games living in some basement in LA while trying to get his Master degree.
Then I saw a video of him talking about his experience of the game he is playing.
Born and rasied in a small town in Kansas, he and his older brother started playing Starcraft in their early teens. When their single mom told them not to play video game before 3pm, they would obey and went to the mall and looked at the box of the game, discussed strategies under an escalator.
They would play together, as they only had one computer, one of them would be a backseat gamer. Then when things got more serious, they would drive hours to join a regional tournament. It was pretty amazing that their mother was very supportive of what they do, she would even buy tickets for them to fly to another part of the country to compete, and asked the school for a week off to compete.
During the time of his pro gaming, he got to meet people from Russia, Canada, Korea, Germany... and became really good friends with them. Through out these tournaments, his brother and mother would be right beside him, either over the phone or in person, supporting him.
Over the years, he learnt to be less serious about the win and loss, but more on what he can learn from them.
You can just see the passion in his eyes, if he is talking about another hobby, you might feel more proud for him and even moved by him. But, he plays video games as hobby.
But he made friends all over the world and have actually met them in person, he learnt valuable lessons in life and he loved his family... That is a better hobby than someone who collects expensive watches but has no friends.
It reminds me of the time when I played computer games with my brother, one of us would be playing, the other would be watching. We played hours of Romance of Three Kingdoms, Starcraft, and other games. For us, it was the pass time during the time when we were worring about school and being in a different country. Of course, we were never as passionate about the games we played, but my brother and I still developed something we shared together as siblings. And that was irreplaceable...

霹靂人妻
很多男人都不喜歡看泡沫劇或連續劇, 我也不例外, 除了有段時間看看日劇, 看看有爆破的劇, 那種會有哭哭啼啼, 沒完沒了, 灑滿地狗血, 或手擠爆橘子的連續劇一概不看.
最近台灣很流行的一部終於要結束了, 我想國內外人夫與男朋友們終於可以鬆一口氣了, 除了要處理女人們一些對劇情裡男人的看法的疑問, 還要接受你們男人都很賤的訓話, 更糟的還要接受女人們加倍的神經質, 跟女性吃飯要報告, 電話不接要懷疑, 我想大概只有戴貞操帶女人們才能接受.
當然, 我有對蛋糕姐姐強烈懷疑這種連續劇的內容, 她是覺得劇情很真實阿, 隋棠很漂亮啊... 我很懷疑他的真實度, 正常情況正宮應該是像蔡閨演的, 然後小三像年輕的隋棠才對吧, 不過連續劇還不是為了女性, 他們如果要有共鳴, 還是用正一點的才"真"...

夜市人生算什麼
我有時候午餐時間會看看報紙, 並不是為了看新聞, 大多是爲了看哪間皇帝蟹比較便宜, 現在投資者都看得到什麼資訊...
記得以前我常開玩笑, 說世界日報的亞洲新聞很有意思, 台灣新聞很多是很血腥, 不是抗議就是打架, 要不就是砍人, 香港新聞通常很芝麻小事, 有人在公廁被偷窺, 手指被貓咬斷... 而中國新聞則是很奇譚, 什麼千年古墓, 長毛綠龜...
今天也買了報紙, 看到以下新聞, 真的覺得台灣的鄉土片真的很寫實. 故事是一位馬姓商人, 六年前劈腿離婚, 再婚後還一直找女朋友, 連自己的繼女和她的朋友也不放過, 繼女懷恨在心, 又因為馬姓商人與前妻生的小孩畢業, 送給小孩價值400萬的房子, 90萬的跑車, 比起繼女30萬轎車, 她覺得繼父偏心, 起了殺機, 就連同丈夫, 與繼父的朋友(同時也是情夫), 設計在馬姓商人的車上裝炸藥, 把馬姓商人炸成了重傷. 你以為這繼女應該會被槍斃, 但沒有, 只有被判十二年. 你以為故事已經結束, 但沒有, 其實從頭到尾, 這繼母, 也就是馬姓商人再婚的對象, 都知情, 也就是默許自己的女兒謀殺自己的丈夫...
其實, 寫劇本好像不是那麼難, 看報紙就好...

The brotherly love
Change is good, according to many people. I, for one, is afraid of change, actually, I am more afraid of being alone.
When I moved out of my mom's place, I moved in with my friends. Then, I moved back home. Although I was always minding my own business, I have always been the opposite of alone.
Then I woke up this morning, the house was empty and quiet. I went to my brother's room and checked. Turned on the light and checked. It has finally occurred to me that my brother has really grown up and moved on.
My brother who looked up to me when he was little, who is reserved but full of ideas. He is a man now, starting his own life and family.
That boy who stole my candies and gave to his friends,
that boy who created cool stuff with legos,
that boy who sneaked downstairs and played video games with me,
that boy who bought a ps2 when he got his paycheque,
that boy who became a man, right in front of my eyes...
It was a strange feeling, sort of a feeling I had after going to my own elementary school graduation ceremony. I was excited, feeling a little lost and lonely.
Maybe, it is a time for me to grown up as well.

街角的排骨便當
我們台北的家, 並不是在一個很富裕的區, 連最近的便利商店都要走一段才會到, 家前的巷子兩旁停滿車, 成了單向道, 通常就算坐小黃, 我也只要求坐到最近的小學, 在走個五分鐘到家.
附近當然也沒有什麼餐廳, 從小記憶最深的, 就是街角的排骨便當店, 其實我一直到幾年前才知道它是一間有名字的便當店.
離我家三分鐘遠, 每次下課回家時, 會看到老闆娘或老闆, 坐在街邊, 用槌子打平肉, 當然, 長大才知道是爲了讓更大片, 更軟.
我小時候很常吃他們的排骨便當與牛肉便當, 其實並不特別, 一片排骨, 一個荷包蛋, 一點配菜...
幾年沒吃到, 今年特地去買了一個便當回家吃, 老闆與老闆娘樣子沒變, 到是頭髮斑白了許多, 不知道這幾年過得如何, 我另外加了個燙青菜, 帶回家吃, 還是一樣的味道, 小時候的味道...

台北阿台北
每次回台灣都有不同的感覺, 不同的目的, 每次的台北都變了很多.
這兩次回台北, 相隔不到兩個月, 感覺最多的就是那不安分的環境, 待久了好像人都很浮躁, 靜不下來, 無論是開車, 吃飯, 看電視, 走路, 廣告, 都給我感覺要快快快, 要快車, 要快買, 要快走...
昨天在與朋友討論, 在台北, 我有時覺得自己很有錢, 有時覺得自己很窮, 有時一餐加幣三元就可以兩個人吃飽, 但隔壁的百貨公司裡頭的賣的高級商品, 有的在溫哥華只有一間, 在台北卻是每間百貨公司都有, 賣的價錢也往往高於國外, 也不知道裡頭幾百名員工是多少有錢人養的, 同時, 看得見台北的房地產, 動不動就上億, 一間30幾坪的公寓, 也要兩千多萬...
台北, 她很方便, 三分鐘一間便利商店, 便利商店裡有吃的, 有傳真, 有快遞, 還可以叫計程車, 每一區都有夜市, 熱鬧的很...
台北, 讓人習慣, 但讓人浮躁

空姐 六師
在台灣, 有些對女性的價值觀是在國外不能接受的, 就像綜藝節目裡看事業線, 虧老妹...
在工作的時候 我電視看得多, 常看見網路婚姻介紹公司的廣告, 看得出來是偏女性觀眾, 通常是一對看起來很幸福的男女接受訪問, 講她們認識或求婚的經過.
這次在台灣也看了不少電視, 也看到網路婚姻公司, 叫月老銀行, 我一開始還以為是金融界的廣告, 看了兩次才看出來. 廣告很簡單, 黃字黑底, 幾個大字, "空姐 六師", 什麼是六師? 又看了兩次, 原來是老師, 會計師, 精算師... 一類的專業, 看來也是針對女性的廣告, 下一個畫面, 還是黃字黑底, 保證六個月找到對象, 要不然六個月免費...
這讓我想起以前某個台灣報導, 最好嫁的職業, 不外乎是老師, 護士, 空姐, 那些愛情動作片裡的女主角職業. 看來, 台灣某些層面, 還真的非常現實.
