天下唯一人
1917年夏天在卡內基,舉行他第一次的紐約音樂會,當時的他才十七歲!大批的小提琴家與鋼琴家湧入卡內基,紛紛爭賭這位少年提琴英雄的丰采。聽完他那出神入化、熱力四射的表現之後,坐在鋼琴家高德夫斯基(L. Godowsky)旁邊的小提琴家艾爾曼(M. Elman)問到:「你不覺得大廳裡有點太熱了?」高德夫斯基捉狎地回答:「不,對鋼琴家來說並不會感到太熱。」從這裡個例子就可以知道,他的琴藝給了當時的小提琴家們多大的壓力!!
曾看過一影片介紹,影片中提到兩個人對他的評價,一是當時的小提琴大師克萊斯勒,他說:「聽了個年輕人的演奏,我只有把弓放在自己的膝蓋上折斷 」。另一位是英國大文豪蕭伯納聽完他的音樂會後寫給他的便條:「你能否每天睡覺前都拉錯一個音,向上帝証明你是人而不是神呢?」 (以上皆為原文大意) 。「皇者」之稱由此而來。
他輕易的征服美國樂壇,並且在往後的幾十年,除了曾是其同門~ 密爾斯坦能和其堪與爭輝; 克萊斯勒還保住他的地位之外,其他的人無不臣服在他的技巧之下。尤其是當時極受歡迎的艾爾曼(Mischa Elman),個人聲望也因其而節節下滑。而想要超越他,雖然這也成了後輩音樂家們努力的目標,但卻猶如緣木求魚一般的困難。
他~ 所向無敵,擋者披靡,穩如泰山,後無來者......
天下第一小提琴手,小提琴之神~

失去
不久前開始練番小提琴......唉, 心好痛~ 己荒廢甚久, 疏於練習的我, 距離自己全盛時期的技巧相差很遠......左手手指的肌肉軟弱了; 靈活度不再那麼靈敏啦; 右手控制各種弓法的力度需要再摸索; 看着以往拉樂團的琴譜時失去了那份應有的熟識感, 要一看再看, 不再像以前那樣一瞥即懂.......活該! 有因就必有果!
但儘管如此, 拉出來的作品的素質仍算得上讓人聽得入耳的. 爛船有三根釘吧. 拼命的想, 到底要多久, 才能把 "她" 追回來?

TORI AMOS
Sweet The Sting
With a strut into the room
With his hat cocked sure defiantly
He said "I, I have heard
That you can play the way I like it to be played."
I said, "I can play, anyway that you want.
But first I want, I want to know
Baby is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
He said "I laid my weapons
down with my pistol
Fully loaded, a hunted man
To my root, will it end
Or begin in your cinnabar juice?"
Is it sweet sweet
Sweet the sting
Is it real this infusion
Can it heal where others before have failed?
If so then somebody
Shake shake shake me sane
'cause I am inching ever closer to the tip of this scorpion's tail"
Love let me breathe
Breathe you in
Melt the confusion
Until there is
There is your - union

Interview II
做咗咁多年嘢, 都 "in" 過唔少工. Interview 嘅時候從來都唔 "赦", 更唔會腳震. 最多只係好少好少嘅緊張 (見oD好大嘅機構, 個 interview 攪到 "懶" 係嚴肅煞有介事嗰時), 同少少腦充血. 但同時, 把口同狀態就充滿 power.
其實, 真係唔駛驚個噃. "in" 你嗰個同你應該係對等嘅. 因為渴望想佢請你而自降身價, 自降三級呢種態度千萬唔要得. 所持嘅態度呢, 要係不亢不卑. 喂, 你係有權選擇我, 但細佬, 我都有權選擇你吖嘛.
又有oD人會驚 "in" 嗰時要用英文對答, 唉, 講真, "in" 你嗰個oD英文分分鐘都唔會講得好得去邊啦! 咪一Q樣滿口廣東英文~ one two "fee" or "free", Quali 讀成 "call - ly", egg 讀成 "x".......X你啦X!
當然, 基本禮貌一定要有. 記住, "不亢不卑"!

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Nokia & Motorola
已在 Nokia 工作二十多年的卡拉斯烏奧(Oilli - Pekka Kallasvuo) 將出任這全球手機龍頭的CEO. 而彭博專欄作家林恩認為他上任後的弟一件事是應該把這間公司, 趁現在仍是如日中天時賣掉!
林恩的理由是 Nokia 經過廿幾年的出色經營, 其作為一家獨立公司的發展己飽和, 甚至看不出有未來. 所以, 若成為大型電腦及電子企業旗下的業務會更有保障. 林恩同時亦舉出了若干論點肯定其看法 (詳情参閱2005年8月23號信報).
未必啫~
好似 Motorola 嗰個CEO~ 桑德 (Ed Zander) 咁, 佢上任嗰時 Motorola 就死咁滯啦, 但喺佢扭盡六壬之下 (經典一役係推出 Razr 系列), 咪一樣歌舞昇平~
之不過點都好, 盡了最大努力, at the end of the day (呢句 at the end of the day 英文, 好好用 ga! 唔係點解咁多人用嚟做咗 shibboleth 吖, 嘿!) 都係講命. 好似桑德講: "I don'y believe in this whole CEO thing. We're way overrated sometimes."

"講嘢啦"
"X, 做緊咩呀?"
"寫緊日記呀"
"唔係吖 fa~? 寫日記?
朋友乙: "喂, Victor, 阻唔阻你呀?"
"唔阻. 講啦"
"攪緊咩呀?"
"寫緊日記呀'
"咩話? 真係 ga?!?"
朋友丙: "喂, 我呀!"
"即係邊個?"
"XXX囉! 喂, 下星期得唔得閒? 如................................(下刪幾十字) 咯! OK?"
"遲oD覆你哩"
"你好X忙咩?"
"寫緊日記啫"
"X, 唔Z係呀?! 寫咩嘢日記呀?"
"寫Blog呀~ X你!"
"寫Bog? 咩嚟 ga? 扑嘢呀!?!?"
"XXQYZ##XYYZ%#X"
朋友丁: "Victor~ 做緊嘢呀?"
"得吖, 講啦"
"估唔到你寫BLOG wor~"
"..........."
我個樣似唔識字? 又或者寫日記有樣睇嘅?
好發明
發覺呢幾樣野幾fit喺香港嘅MTR用~ 尤其是係右下角嗰個發明. 大
家留意
吓啦, 香港人一入閘 (地鐵車箱),
首賽馬日嘅music就會播起.
oD人正在全力向前滙聚嘅眼神, 臉部不自覺嘅抽蓄, 加大無畏嘅步伐, 男女一樣, 包括俊男美女, 就好似一群饑餓嘅蝗蟲咁向車廂有空位嘅座位瘋撲; 連就只有少少剩餘的空隙都不放過bor, 一個龐大嘅 pat pat 肆無忌憚有理無理一嘢坐落去, 最後以一個滿足, 淡定, 放鬆晒嘅表情謝幕.
所以, 呢個 invention 真係好啱喺香港用. 不是嗎!? 一開波以呢張小櫈放喺胸前開路, 見到目標, 描準獵物後, "唔好意思呀" or "咩呀" 甚至咩都慳番, 一嘢 "o篷" 落去, 包保原本坐喺度嗰個彈開. 就算冇, 呢張嘢起碼可以把空位撬開大oD!
諗諗吓, 呢幾樣發明唔單只適用於地鐵, 喺好多地方都大派用場例如火車, 輕鐵, 電車, 排隊等位, 排隊買"飛", 排隊輪籌 (飲茶 & 炒樓), etc. 好過oD國內同胞咁, 成日施展國技~ *"mou" 吖!

今日左右大報 (東方及Apple) 與及其他傳媒等等均以淡水魚含致命癌物作主打. Apple 更以 "港人食咩好"作為A1頭條.
正如前兩日我喺呢度所講, 係人類自作孽嘅惡果. 睇住嚟吖, 我哋之後仍然一模一樣好似以往咁繼續用oD古靈精怪, 違反自然嘅飼料去餵養禽畜; 依然當 "阿公" 仲剩落大把咁, 繼續去污染地球. 咁 o樣樣要死嘅話, 神都救你唔落.
中國人點算
Made in China嘅嘢一早己成為 "名牌", "極品". 其中尤以食物為甚. 甚麼毒罐頭, 口水油, 循環用完再用火窩湯底及冒牌食品等等......唉~ 喺祖國, 以往冇得食人所皆知; 而家叫做有得食, 但oD嘢又恐怖到食唔落口......冇得食又死有得食更死, 慘! 點算?
又係呢oD
特首就今次單嘢接受傳媒訪問, 囂神話: "特區政府已經同內地加緊合作"; "我唔會評論特區政府喺今次事件上嘅反應係快定慢"; "特區政府係以廣大香港市民嘅利益作為大前提嘅"; "我哋特區........"~~~~喃摩喃摩訶尼陀佛".......聽到真係, 真係火到冇反應.
又係呢oD咁嘅回應. 一早我都話呢個新特區政府同老懵嗰個冇咩分別; 一早已知道如果有oD稍為辣手oD嘅嘢, 呢個只識做戲, 擦鞋舔上, 以donald仔為首嘅group一樣有板照撞, 依舊醜態照出.
強政厲治嗎? 咪流入一大堆得個講字嘅空廢口號標語特區政府黑洞裏面囉.

學語言節目
"原來韓文嘅發音分母音和子音. 母音有10個. 分別係 a ya ka e o i ......而子音有14個wor, 包括 ku......
嗱, 如果咁咁咁, 個發音應該係咁咁咁; 呢, 如果係咁樣咁樣, 個發音就係咁樣咁樣......好似 ku ki tu (要加 oD好似噴口水嘅效果)........點解個個都好似一樣咁嘅?
亦有簡單常用句子教wor, 好似 "我係XXX" 就讀 "XXX你唷 (用國語讀出)"."
個人覺得作用不大. 學外語, 每日一定要浸起碼5, 6小時以上, 加之後再去所學那個語言嘅地方住番一段日子, 咁先掂.
而類似呢oD節目, 作為一點輔助或引人對那種 language 發生興趣的角色才是其主要功效.
網上百科全書
佢裏面所涵蓋嘅資料都幾齊全. 唯一麻煩嘅係每轉一頁新嘅版面都要click一次 "繁體" 先得. 如果唔係, 依然以簡體字為先.
睇呢個網, 佢會令你親身體會到咩嘢係學海無涯, 貪新 + 貪心. 因為差不多每一行都有可以click入去嘅新條目, 你click咗入去, 睇睇吓, 見到呢個terms係你不嬲想知嗰wor, 於是click入去; 又睇睇吓, 睇到第八行 (中間你可能已skip咗好多可click入去嘅topic), 咦, 呢個物理現象個名咁得意嘅, click入去吓先, 睇睇吓, 睇到~ "此現象與人體自燃現象在17世紀...........(這裏已有兩個條目可看: 人體自燃現象和17世紀)", 哎唷 "人體自燃現象"? 個terms咁得意嘅, click入去睇吓先.於是你又click入去咯噃. 點知裏面又有龐大嘅內容, 於是又再好似之前咁, 又再click, click-> click-> click, 一路閱讀, 一路click, 一層一層咁click落去, 繼續繼續, click吓click吓, 你會攪到唔記得咗一開始時你所睇嘅條目.
越讀得多, 越知得多; 知得越多, 自然越忘記得多; 忘記得越多呢, 知得就自然越少.......媽呀, 讀嚟做咩?!!?
總體來講, 係一個做得出色嘅網上encyclopaedia.
VODKA吾愛
VODKA似我
- 烈, 酒精度高但唔似 whisky, brandy或者 tequila般難入, 有燒喉感覺.
- 就算加多了vodka, double vodka base 甚至 trible, 都不是那麼明顯.
- 但奇怪得意的, 是在一杯由多種酒調製成, 存在着多種酒的cocktail裏面, 你又總會聞到, 嘗得出那很淡淡的vodka味道.
- 不經不覺, 你會不期然飲多了而不自知.
- 飲 vodka比飲其他酒易 high. 易醉.
