Food For Thought

透支
李永乐

客船钟声

  远在北欧丹麦的气候大会,场内场外都很有“气”氛,场内发达与发展中国家针锋相对,场外环保示威者与警察对峙拉扯,矛盾与冲突的根源,围绕着赖以生存的地球环境。

  电影《2012》描绘的世界末日,时间上当然夸大,其威胁则非纯粹的无稽之谈。种种迹象显示,地球由“住”转“坏”,已是不争的事实。祸根是作为地球的最高级生物,人类过度透支这个星球的一切。

  万物相互依存,所有的个体和自我,事实上都彼此相关,也和大环境紧密靠拢。我们的衣食住行,都是无数群体分工得以完成,施与受角色错综复杂,任何个体也没法单独存在。

  人类的“生物需求”原本容易满足:需要吃多少用多少,其实皆有个“度”可量,唯独心理需求——欲望膨胀——产生的占有欲,可以无穷无尽,因此通过种种“透支”的手段满足欲求。

  华人“量入为出”的传统美德,原来是让你根据收入,以某个百分比,衡量支出的份额,持家节俭的还要留存部分,作为不时之需的“隔夜粮”。

  然而,市场经济规律则认为,这样的保守观念,必须彻底加以颠覆,因为它不利“鼓吹消费”的商品经济。那消费人手头银弹不足怎么办?于是就有各种各样“花未来钱”的办法出炉。

  屋债车债卡债,当今谁人不欠债?没有欠债的人,可能比熊猫还要珍稀。以前欠人钱还不好意思,现在欠银行钱,欠得越多表示你的价值越高。“透支未来”早已成为常态。

  个人的“透支”衍生攀比行为,诱人把生存的价值,都摆在物质的天平上,而社会与国家的透支行为,更是建立在窃取下一代财富的基础上。这些财富,当然也包括储存量有限的地球资源。

我们透支的是个人的将来,再怎么奢侈仍得这辈子偿还,而国家行为的透支,则是让这代人享有,把债务推给子孙的自私行径,这一烫手的山芋,终有一代人要被烧伤与烫伤。

  “报应”这不就快显现了吗?近年来地球那么多的灾难,看似老天所为,实则人类才是祸首,若不保护与培育,地球资源总有消耗殆尽的一天,这可不是危言耸听。

dunno why out of a sudden, Tiger Woods has been the world's num 1 花心男
不愧是色字头上一把刀。。
自古以来,总是英雄难过美人关。。
没想到连老虎也栽了个跟斗
他老婆也好像丝毫不给面子,抛开离婚不说,听说还要修改婚前协议书
最无辜的还是那一对小孩。。

hasnt been following the Laos SEA games and Copenhagen Climate Summit as close as i wld like..

but glad that Team Singapore perform well, esp in swimming!! ^^
realli hope e swimmers can then proceed to shine at e world stage, jiayou!!
however, is spore too reliant on swimming and table tennis to bring in e medals??
on e other hand, can also say that sailing and bowling are not included in this SEA games program ba..

well, lets wait for next yr to see Team Singapore perform again..
next yr seems to be a yr for sports fans..
got YOG, Asian Games and of course, my fave & e most anticipated of all, World Cup!!!! =D

oh no, then i think my super dark circles can hardly fade away liao.. =(
& i cant help but think is my persistent dark circles e 1st sign of aging?
cos i used to apply eye cream and next morning they are more or less gone..
but not for these few weeks.. *sob sob*



as for the Copenhagen summit, well, i dunno how to analyse e final outcome..
initially i was quite afraid tt it will end up like e Doha round which officially broke down in terms of negotiation 2 yrs back and somehow din get going again..
for this summit, we can see a repeat of history..
a 'showdown' between the developed and developing country..
its realli 公说公有理, 婆说婆有理。。
expected cos 一种米养百种人
not surprising tt each country put its own interest first
but tts when econs said, leading to collective failure..

when things are in a deadlock cos neither side giv way making the progress to be in a bleak, fortunately, e world leaders realise the seriousness of the prob to come together to agree on a last min agreement..
haven read the reports in full yet so dunno wat are the conditions etc..
but reviews hav been mixed with some even calling it a flop and next yr going to hav another summit to hav a international legally binding agreement..

is Pres Obama right in saying that 'having a flawed plan is better than no plan at all?'

are the countries serious in tackling e prob of global warming in e 1st place??
& not forgetting there are still some naysayers ard..

can e world leaders put their heart and soul in making sure tt next yr talks will work??

finally how much exactly is the price/opportunity of delaying in protecting our Mother Earth??
esp when scientists are not too optimistic abt e future



in comparison, shd i say tt its an 'improvement' over the Doha round??

then can i see some light for the future development for the Doha round of talks??

Food For Thought

怀旧

李永乐

客船钟声

  两份晚间报纸,先后推出图文并茂的怀旧栏目,带出当年情与光阴的故事,据说很受读者的欢迎。我和年龄相近的友人,也不时在一张张黑白照片和回忆中,像品尝陈年老酒那样,找到了仿佛回味无穷的乐趣。

  熟悉的图文里头,有消耗掉的青春,有消失了的地貌,有尚未被岁月啃吃的容颜,还有种种的悲欢离合,那些午夜梦回的情景,曾经十分美好的感觉,虽然无法重现,却能在老照片和文字当中,得到些许的慰藉。

  许多人热烈反应,因为这是共性,世间万象皆无常,变化是唯一的不变,如果相信生命只有一次,自然会像溺水的人那样,希望抓紧任何可以抓住的东西。

  其实那不过是一种“掉悔”的心理,当初选择了放弃,如今又因为有些追悔,而开始怀念起消逝殆尽的一切,徘徊于要舍不舍,欲得不得的夹缝间,矛盾心油然而起。

  旧时情景叫人怀念,原因在于它已永不再来,所以遇见诱发的元素——旧照片、老歌、文字,记忆就不由自主翻腾起来,为失去的美丽伤感、惋惜、缅怀,为过往的种种或喜或忿,情绪好比五味杂陈的酱缸。

  对于消逝的人事和景物,最常触发的是怀念之情。人是“既难忘又善忘”的动物,一个人为了“往昔不再来”而嗟叹时,从记忆之湖钓起的,往往是美好的事物,假如因由愤恨、失意而勾勒出来的画面,则肯定阴霾与黯淡,“心随境转”是我们凡人的必然。

  实际上所有的过去,早就定格在历史的画框,已不可逆转,从“我”出发的任何评价,无非是以切身利害为准绳的判断,与客观事物的本质,根本毫无关系。

  时空所塑的纵横切面,时间的纵切面,影响尤其关键。就以旧时景来说,放在时间的纵切面,抚今追昔,多数人会缅怀,希望重温旧梦重回故园,若摆在空间的横切面,告诉他某个地方,就是往昔生活的现实翻版,让他选择放弃眼下,转换空间“回到过去”,相信没几个人愿意。

我辈执著于人世的眷恋,再加上欠缺修为,自然无法摆脱“掉悔”的纠缠,只好在一回又一回的“舍与得”,一次又一次的“悲与喜”之间,不由自主地轮回。

一个字: 忙!! ><

got so mani things i wanna blog about with regard to the past week..

i was informed that there is a ACP booth selling Women Weekly and Cleo mag at Citilink & it comes with good freebies as well..

3 consecutive nites (fri - sun) of star gazing..

haven been so onz since ages ago.. lolz..

but jus when e sky is super good on fri (a super impromptu session at War Memorial Park.. yesh, even at town area, the sky is good!!) and sat nite, e sky condition is so sucky on sun nite when its our most crucial nite.. *angry*

however seriously, haven seen such good winter sky in spore b4, on sat nite..
& saw a num of meteors but not much either..

& on sun e amazing thing is that e sky actualli started to clear to a certain extent from 5+am!!
its also fortunate tt we decide not to nuah in Mac anymore and went cycling and hence saw tt e sky is clearing..

i realli think e sky took a pity on us..
cos e part of e sky tt is clear (still with a bit of clouds) is where Gemini and Leo is..
saw e trapezium portion of Leo and Mars + Castor and Pollux and a few other stars which i cant figure cos i din see stars at 5+am b4..
& 3 meteors jus shot past within 10 min when ZP is bathing.. lolz..
they are realli bright such tt e light penetrate thro e cloud cover and we cant miss them
i believe there are more cos i thought i saw some more (faint ones) but cos of the thick clouds i cant be sure..

poor ZP, when he was done, e clouds were back to cover e whole sky such tt he cant see any..

if onli e sky is clear...
why play such a joke on us??

but its fun during these 3 nites of stargaze..
plus special thanks to ZP & SQ
realli think we make a good four-some.. haha

Food For Thought

一切从呼吸开始

黄向京

咖啡座

  混乱的意念、臃肿的头脑、僵硬的身躯。每次上课,总是自觉身心灵的失衡与不完整。

  上瑜伽课,跟印度老师做“树姿”。把一只脚板垫在另一边大腿顶端,贴耳伸长双手合掌,平衡身体。要做到这点不难,老师说,“请大家闭上眼睛。”

  当双眼闭上,双脚开始发抖,原来可以站上30秒的姿势,不到15秒就败下阵来,很是平常。老师指出:“一般人闭上眼后,出于对黑暗的恐惧,使得双脚发抖。过不了多久,我们会发现:最难处理的不是身体的平衡,而是头脑的平衡,要放空大脑,稳住意念,比较难。”

  当某某瑜伽体位做不到位,或过来纠正我们的姿势时,老师最常说的一句话就是:“放松、放松、放松。”

  尽力之后还是做不到位,老师也常说的另一句话就是“不用勉强”。聆听、善待自己的身体很重要的啊。

  混乱的意念、臃肿的头脑、僵硬的身躯。每次上课,总是自觉身心灵的失衡与不完整。上完课后,整个人比较松一点。

  是的,每天的脑子急忙运转着工作与生活中大小琐碎事务,现代人一天的信息吸收量比以前的人来得大,要让大脑放松缓慢下来,呈空的状态,并不容易。有些人则无法从纷乱的意念中抽身,纠缠不清,而人生的问题十之八九恐怕都是想出来的,而且往往不自觉。

  练瑜伽不勤,偶看瑜伽书觉得饶有意思,因瑜伽历史悠久,流派很多。

就说千多年前,当瑜伽从印度传进西藏,传承为历代达赖喇嘛的日课。传统的瑜伽重视体位,“西藏心瑜伽”(麦可罗区格西著,城邦2004年出版)则相信身心灵的练习。因为我们包含数十亿个细胞的身体最重要的食物是新鲜的氧气,如何把握呼吸的要诀是第一关,而呼吸又追随内在的风息,念头则骑乘在风息之上,如同骑士骑乘马上。因此,当我们感到高兴或烦躁时,内在风息在脉内骚动乱窜时,呼吸就会失去控制,变得急促、断断续续且不均匀,而身体的细胞就无法准时进食。当你舒展拉引身体,呼吸会深长且规律,并能安顿内在的风息,平息念头,而“西藏心瑜伽”诀窍就是从整顿内脉着手,以获得平静愉悦的身心灵。

  “西藏心瑜伽”相信世界的种子是善良美好的,在练习瑜伽时,观想玫瑰里有颗钻石散发纯净的万丈光芒,不只让呼吸与风息平静,身体健康,还要种植施与受之心,帮忙带走别人的黑暗。所以瑜伽大师章嘉说:“对他人缺乏慈悲,你就无法进入瑜伽之门。”

  而在两千多年前的印度,一名年轻的王子坐在树下,正面临一个伟大的转变。成千上万的邪魔冲上前想要阻止,把矛掷向王子,用箭杀死王子,然而,这些矛箭未触及王子,就在半空中变成美丽的花朵,化成一阵馥郁芬芳的花雨。

  这实在是个大美的境界,心向往之。

오늘이 오지 않기를
oneuri oji ankireul
그렇게 나 매일 밤 기도했는데
geureoke na maeil bam gidohaenneunde

네가 입은 웨딩드레스
nega ibeun wedingdeureseu
네가 입은 웨딩드레스
nega ibeun wedingdeureseu
네가 입은 웨딩드레스
nega ibeun wedingdeureseu

내 맘을 몰라줬던
nae mameul mollajwotdeon
네가 너무 미워서
nega neomu miwoseo
가끔은 네가 불행하길 난 바랬어
gakkeumeun nega bulhaenghagil nan baraesseo
이미 내 눈물은 다 마 마 마르고
imi nae nunmureun da ma ma mareugo
버릇처럼 혼자 너에게 말하고
beoreutcheoreom honja neoege malhago

매일 밤 그렇게 불안했던걸 보면 난
maeil bam geureoke buranhaetdeongeol bomyeon nan
이렇게 될꺼란 건 알았는지도 몰라
ireoke doelkkeoran geon aranneunjido molla
난 눈을 감아
nan nuneul gama
끝이 없는 꿈을 꿔
kkeuchi eomneun kkumeul kkwo
제발 그를 떠나 내게 오길
jebal geureul tteona naege ogil

Baby 제발 그의 손을 잡지마
Baby jebal geuui soneul japjima
Cuz you should be my Lady
오랜 시간 기다려온 날 돌아봐줘
oraen sigan gidaryeo on nal dorabwajwo

노래가 울리면 이제 너는
noraega ullimyeon ije neoneun
그와 평생을 함께하죠
geuwa pyeongsaengeul hamkkehajyo
오늘이 오지 않기를
oneuri oji ankireul
그렇게 나 매일 밤 기도했는데
geureoke na maeil bam gidohaenneunde

네가 입은 웨딩드레스

네가 입은 웨딩드레스
nega ibeun wedingdeureseu
네가 입은 웨딩드레스

부디 그와 행복해

너를 잊을 수 있게

내 초라했던 모습들은 다 잊어줘

비록 한동안은

나 죽을 만큼 힘이 들겠지만

너무 오랜 시간을 착각 속에

홀로 바보처럼 살았죠

아직도 내 그녀는 날 보고

人家总说: 人比人,气死人
但这段时期我领悟到这其实是心态的问题。。
其实没有了比较,就有可能不会惜福。。

这段日子,认识了许多原本不属于我生活圈子里的人
我才了解我是多么的身在福中不知福。。

上天可说待我不薄
真不该把我所拥有的不以为然/视为理所当然

Food For Thought

这样长大很好

丹女

山外山

笔心

  接受现在的自己,接受这个世界没有完美,没有可以分割出来的生命,或许会活得更坦然更快乐更自在。

——丹女

亲爱的音:

  我想了一个晚上还是不能同意你的说法。或许成长的那段岁月,我们有对这个世界更理解,对摆在眼前的选择更清楚,我们或许将做不同的抉择,或许像你说的,更早开窍,更早了解自己要什么,更早发掘自己的实力与潜力,但是音,这一切都只是“或许”而已。

  再说人又怎能拆开来活?过去不可能拆开来,说这是好的,这是不好的;好的留下,不好的如果当初去除,今天就如何如何的好。真的不一定。没人能把生命中不美好的去除,就算含着金勺子出生的也不可以。这就是不公平的世界最公平的地方。

  看看四周的人吧!有谁是你想做她,不愿是自己的?如果真有这样一个人,你愿意她的父母是你的父母,她的过去是你的过去,她的现在是你的现在,她的情人是你的情人,那或许你说的话就有道理。我看遍四周,甚至是那些有钱小姐,父母是名人,到美国念大学,回新加坡政府部门坐上“直升机”的女人,我也根本不想和她调换位置。报章杂志里那些 “拥有快乐家庭的快乐女人”我也不想当她们而不当自己。如果这样的话,自己的过去或许失去的东西,又还有什么好可惜的呢?正是因为没有了那些,才有了今天的自己呀!

  生命就得摸着石子过河。你只看到前进的方向就很不错了。

或许年少时有一个牵着你指引你的人,你还会嫌这人烦,让你没有机会尝试别的东西。走走冤枉路歪道邪道也未必是坏事,它让你对人生有不一般的体会。从小就一心一意追求个什么或许很幸运,或许好,但太过一心一意,就未免忽略了一路的风景。

  你真是个充满欲望的女人,对生活,对品味,对自己,对周围的人。总是觉得前方永远有一个更完美的自己在向你招手。但是生活又总是走着它的轨迹,很多时候,事情不是像你想象中的那样发生。接受现在的自己,接受这个世界没有完美,没有可以分割出来的生命,或许会活得更坦然更快乐更自在。

  我知道,有些人有自虐倾向。你看到的对岸风景和我看到的不一样,你也就只能够照你的意思,去走你认为该走的路……作为你的朋友,我在这里为你加油!

went to the 风云2 gala premiere on Mon @ Vivocity..

& since aaron kwok + ekin cheung is gracing this event, the GV is rather packed at 7+pm..

i also joined in e crowd at the side of the red carpet hoping to take photos of them..

aft waiting for ard an hour, e 2 finally appear but i cant take a clear view of them as they were walking too fast!! @_@
then aaron kwok apparently is not veri tall cos i heard quite a num ard me asking "er, where is aaron ar??" *dot*

then when they were with the 933 DJ at e stage, the crowd is so thick until when i tiptopped and held my cam up high to take photos, i onli saw lotsa heads..
seriously wanted to grow taller.. *sob sob*

luckily the stage is still there aft both Aaron and Ekin has left so there are at least some memories for me for this event.. =D

as for e movie, its is jus so-so..
i feel that e directors spent too much effort doing up the special effects such tt they neglect the basis of a good movie, that is, a good storyline!

the CGI is definitely on par with Hollywood std, but at times i feel its copying LOTR, Transformers leh..
& jus like Transformers 2, i was too bombarded with such special effects until 3/4 way thro e movie, i hav enough of tt le..

however e biggest disappointment is that e plot is very bland with little character development
& some of the parts were rather skimpy which makes me go like 'huh?!?!'
& finally, i dun like e ending!! ><
