天糊和地糊
2005-07-24 - 11:24 p.m.
星期六和相識了十年的大伙兒聚舊,大家都玩得很盡興。都是些尋常項目,吃飯,打麻將,打機,沒一會消磨了一個晚上。我不會麻將,也沒興頭學,可也會偶然坐到麻將枱邊,聊聊天感受氣氛。原來麻將枱上的牌友不全是老手,於是富經驗的牌友不時就會講解一下,反正大家志在娛樂,又不是賭錢:「洗好牌以後,若第一個人摸牌就能糊出的,那叫『天糊』;而同是第一輪回合糊出,第二、三、四個人糊出的,那就要叫『地糊』了。」我坐在旁邊,聽進耳裡覺得有點玄機。打麻將和「天」「地」有甚麼關係?

回家想了想,靈光一閃,道理還不簡單?易經第一卦就是「天」﹝乾卦﹞,第二卦就是「地」﹝坤卦﹞。第一個回合糊出,不叫「天」「地」叫甚麼?哈哈,真不知道還沒有「糊」的名稱是易卦呢。

presentation

很久沒作過presentation。幸好表現得還不錯。演出順利,全靠同學仔的精彩powerpoint和俐落的協調分工。我自己的貢獻不大,而且到最後一刻才交貨。真感謝同學對我的信任和包容,致令presentation完滿演出。

釘書釘絶活
2005-07-19 - 11:57 p.m.
凝定心神,兩眼對準,揚起左手,右手放好位置。使勁的力量、方式,該和武術表演時那些師父沒兩樣。啪!二十多頁紙瞬間給鋼釘破開,牢牢纏在一塊。正所謂熟能生巧,犠牲好幾十張紙,五到十口鋼釘,手腕還練得微微酸痛,我「影壇新人」的地位才算穩固確立。

畢業後打了差不多兩年工,我倒練就了不少絶活,真可惜別人看履歷表,從來不計算這些:

1. 在紅燈轉綠燈的頃刻,把客貨車上的貨物從路中心搬到行人路;
2. 摺信,買郵票,貼郵票,送到郵局,一條龍包辦幾百封信。曾經因此超時工作至凌晨;
3. 掛橫額,擺攤擋,開場收場嚴控在一小時內完成;
4. 應付瘋人電話。無論對方說給甚麼國安局、特務逼害,也能忍住笑聲,不慍不火答話。即使捱上半小時絲毫不損專業操守;
5. 應付瘋人老闆的偉大構想。無論上頭的指令如何天花龍鳳,只答應做合理範疇,其餘空想內容悉數駁回;
6. 無事裝事事忙。能長時間演戲不露痕跡,顛峰造極,即使老闆走過來也不好意思叫你幫忙;
7. 準時遲到。反正也不能準時收工,不如每天依時遲一點﹝必定在十五分鐘以內﹞,總之只會工作八小時;
8. 駕奴所有傳真機,影印機,令他們貼貼後後......

其他的雜技不勝抬舉,但那半點也不會加你人工。

Get to know yourself better
2005-07-18 - 10:35 p.m.
Sometimes it is quite fun to do those Psychology test, even though you know it may only be partial true:

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Powerpoint corrupts absolutely
2005-07-17 - 5:21 p.m.
瘋狂七月進入軌道,忙得不可開交。一星期要連續三晚夜歸,加上突如其來的 Powerpoint工作,害我差不多在二胡課裡闔上眼睛。三兩天裡趕起六十多頁 Powerpoint,這樣的差事真厭煩。沒辦法,受人二分四,"北區蚊患巡禮"垃圾 Powerpoint就在十多個工時裡粗製濫造完成。

"Power corrupts; Powerpoint corrputs absolutely."
