Speed Racer

I love to watch movie, since young i have watched a lot of good movies. I think it is time for me to write movie critics. My first critic will be about this one "Speed Racer"

It has been a long time for a good movie like this!

From the beginning until the end, you would not think of getting your eyes away!

The story is normal, but the story context is good! With little time, the director is still able to tell the story smoothly!

Most interesting part is those car racing scenes. Wow, excellent! More exciting than "The Fast and The furious!" series.

Well, the guy who starred as "Speed Racer" looks familiar to me. I think he looks alike with Ewan Mcgregor! A young version.

The family element in this movie is good too. The director managed to tell spectators that the father love his children very much! It's quite touching!

If you guys out there have not yet watched, you should go and get yourself a leisure moment! You will have no regret!

The Orphanage

Another Gulleirmo Del Toro's movie made in year 2007. I just managed to watch it today. It entered Malaysia market so late!

Yeah. Another good movie even tough it is not directed by Del Toro himself, he is only the producer.

Nevertheless, i still prefer his another great piece of work "Pan's Labyrinth". I watched "Pan's Labyrinth" last year and it really sent me the sense of satisfication. What a great movie! The movie has successfully delivered its message that the Facist group in Spain was doing all kind osf cruel act to oppress the rebellions during the reign of General Franco. The general inside that movie was a typical Facist character. The movie also tries to tell how eager a little girl to live in the world that she has been longing for. There are all kind of magical funny frictional characters in the movie. It is full of imagination and yet it is not childish. This movie is not for children anyway. The nicest part is even tough the movie's story is separated into 2 major lines from the beginning, but eventually director managed to cross the 2 lines together and formed an excellent ending.

"The Orphanage" has less "magic" factorsl than "Pan's Labyrinth". Its story goes quite smooth. It reveals the mystery bit by bit and by usual, it tries to spook the spectators with sudden loud sound effect. I am not satisfied with the story anyway because when the movie ends i still do not know how Laura's son died and why did those children ghosts wanted to kill him. The movie does not tell about this, instead it emphasizes the maternal love and it made me touched in the end where the lady committed suicide just to see her son in another "world".

金钱帝国

昨晚看了王晶导演的金钱帝国。此片集合了两大实力派演员梁家辉及黄秋生,他俩都没让我失望,很好的演绎了各自的角色。

故事是说名上个世纪香港的一段不堪回首的贪污史。大概60末至70年代初。当时警界黑道同流合污,警方包庇黑道经营的黄赌毒行业,而黑道则给予金钱上的酬劳,大家同捞肮脏钱。

其时香港全警察都无可避免的同涉及贪污,不同流合污就会被排挤甚至被对付导致大难临头。

影片很好地用陈亦讯的角度来带领观众了解当时警界的严重贪污程度,甚至让观众明白到当时情形严重到衍生了制造假犯人的冤案,令人震撼!

最后,廉政公署成立了!他们毫不手软积极对付各涉贪污的人士,而也让他们自身安全受到威胁。只因他们是得罪了一个庞大的犯罪系统!他们威胁了很多人的既得利益。这班人当然不会放过廉政公署的人员。果然廉政公署的人员之后也一个接一个出事了,甚至遭杀害!当中包括了林保怡饰演的廉政公署主任及黄秋生饰演的改过自新、加入公署、最后拾回尊严的烂赌警员!

可喜的是,最后当局还是有办法瓦解了这个庞大的犯罪系统。过程当然没电影情节中般简单。电影有提到当时香港警员人人自危,甚至发动了罢工以抗议廉政公署的雷厉风行的扫贪行动!最后当时英国特赦了警员之前所犯的所有贪污罪以瓦解风波。此决定甚为明智,最后这个大系统也因此而崩溃了!

此乃一个很重要的扫贪史。这证明了即使贪污已形成了一个庞大系统,只要领导人有决心及魄力,还是有办法打倒贪污的。

愿各身受贪污问题所害的各国家能以这段史为鉴!

电影幸亥革命观后感

昨曰看了<幸亥革命>。电影确突显了孙黄二人革命之功。也说明革命不是一人之功,而是众志成城之果。当时革命群众大受各方势力所压迫逼害,环境艰险,但为了天下为公之信念,为了不再为少数贵族所统治,故赴汤蹈火也在所不惜。勇气可嘉也!

如今中国又临非常时刻。中共之统治不再能让人民信服,此乃中共背弃共产主义之果。共产党不实行共产主义,又妄想继续一党专政,怎么不让民众置疑呢?更甚的是,如今贪官污吏之盛更使共产党面目全非,民怨过重,街头抗争一波接一波而来,事态已瑧严重矣!

中国是时候再来一次革命了!其实共党统治初年也算勤政爱民,唯之后领袖却走火入魔,过于偏激,拿人命开玩笑,又拿优良传统文化开刀,不分青红皂白乱砸乱审一通,造就民众价值观混乱,最后干脆奉金钱为神,方有今日贪官污吏,方有今日见死不救之一众!

共党继续统治下去,中国凶多吉少也。除非共党内部纠正有成,逐渐玩出新路,方可能避过亡党之祸!

中国好不容易捱到今天再度崛起,不再是昔日的东亚病夫。冀中国人民能安然渡过难关,选出称职政府,好安居乐业。民族丶民权、民生俱足!

Tears In Heaven

"Tears In Heaven" is a very nice award winning song written by Eric Clapton. He wrote this song for his 4 year old son who died in year 1991.

I think the version by "The ChoirBoys" is very very much touching than the original one. I am not saying that Eric Clapton does not sing well, but the re-orchestration of the music of this version further instils the sense of sorrows into my heart. No more guitar in this version, but some kind of 'quiet' instrument that takes the major role, i can't tell. It's rather slow and solemn.

It reminds me of my dad who passed away on October last year.

Here is the song's lyrics:

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

您财务状况尚好吗?

今晚听了一场很好的讲座,获益不浅,在此向各位分享所得。

您的财务会有以下四种状况:

1) 危险 - (负)现金流,(负)净值
2) 稍弱 - (正)现金流,(负)净值 
3) 不错 - (正)现金流,(正)净值,以(资产)为主要收入来源
4) 超好 - (正)现金流,(正)净值,收入以倍数成长

怎样算出现金流与净值
1)收入 - 支出 = 现金流
2)资产 - 债务 = 净值

注:
收入 - 您的主要收入来源
支出 - 您的主要支出
资产 - 您能产生收入的资产
债务 - 您的债务

Know Your Financial Health

I attended a talk today and i am sharing with you the highlights here.

Your Financial Health can be categorized into 4 statuses:

Note: -ve means NEGATIVE, +ve means POSITIVE

1) Dangerous = -ve CASH FLOW, -ve NET WORTH
2) Poor = 
+ve CASH FLOW, -ve NET WORTH
3) Good = 
+ve CASH FLOW, +ve NET WORTH, Most of the income is from ASSET
4) Great = +ve CASH FLOW, +ve NET WORTH, High Income which grows exponentially


To calculate your Financial Health, you need to:

1) Calculate your CASH FLOW
--> Income - Expenses = CASH FLOW

2) Calculate your NET WORTH
--> Asset - Liabilities = NET WORTH

INCOME = Your Job
EXPENSES = Your monthly expenses
ASSET = Your asset that generates INCOME
LIABILITIES = Your asset that causes expenses

您目前的财政状况将足以决定您的未来!

连接上一篇
若您目前的财政状况是“危险”,对不起,您的资产净值将会逐年渐缩渐小直到你破产为止。



若您目前的财政状况是“稍弱”,您的资产净值也一样会逐年萎缩,庆幸的是幅度相对“危险”较小。原因是有“通货膨胀”在作祟!如果您的现金流增长得不够通膨快,就请您多加注意。



若您目前的财政状况是“不错”,不消说,您的资产净值是会逐年增长的,惟幅度不大,还是要担心通膨随时偷袭,导致翻船。



若您目前的财政状况是“超好”,通常这意味着您的现金流倍数增长!不消数年您的资产净值必膨胀得顶呱呱!

Predict your future financial health based on the current one!

Continue from previous article.

If your current financial health is Dangerous, your net worth is going to drop like hell as years go by.



If your current financial health is Poor, your future net worth is not much better than Dangerous. Although you have Positive Cashflow, the fact is it will not be able to beat Inflation :)



If your current financial health is Good, your future is good too but over the years you will find your net worth grow too little and you may wonder if that is enough to defeat the Inflation :)



If your current financial health is Great! Then of course your future is GREAT too! Usually this means your Cashflow grows exponentially and your net worth is gonna increase at the speed of rocket!

Forza Juventus! Forza Del Piero

Congratulations to Alessandro Del Piero! Finally he is crowned the top scorer of serie of season 2007/2008! I believe he could not wait for this moment! The last time he nearly got the award was during season 1997/1998 which then he and Fillipo Inzaghi contributed a total of 39 goals in the league and eventually helped Juventus to get the champion of that season! What a moment!

Since season 1995/1996, Del Piero has been my all time favourite! He is the soul of Juventus. His fate decides the fate of Juve! The Juve in the late 90's was really really impressive! Back then the serie A standard was high, there were so many superstarts playing in different serie A teams, and serie A teams always never missed the quarter onward of the european level cups such as Champion's League , UEFA Cup and etc.

Del Piero was known as an excellent playmaker then. However since season 1996/1997 he loves to play as forward. He found his area of movement which is widely known as the Del Piero's Territory. Too bad he got injured badly in season 1998/1998 which also caused Juve to fall to no. 6 in that season.

After he was back from injury. He struggled very much to restore to its peak form. His freekick and penalty is still sharp but somehow his physical strength dropped very much. He was so easily tackled and tripped down. I thought i would have never had the chance to see him topping the scoring chart of serie A again but surprisingly! He made it this season!!!

Good work, Del Piero!



Juve was great from year 1994 - 1996

Juventus won a few championship during this period. I still cannot forget great players then such as Vialli, Ravanelli, Baggio, Di Livio, Deschamps, Toricelli, Peruzzi and so on...

Juventus dominated the final match against Ajax Amsterdam, you can see they are the one launching more attacks than Ajax. At one time Lippi even put 5 attackers on the field: Vialli, Jugovic, Ravanelli, Del Piero, Di Livio.

黑豹列传



近年来的黑豹越发让我看得眉飞色舞,故事方面还是那么的令人出人意料之外,而又充满哲理。

看了黑豹有大概8年了吧。他大概是我除了龙虎门之外看得最久的一本漫画。虽然错失了早期的故事,但我觉得之后的故事也很好,当然它的精彩处恰恰是落在故事上。至于武打场面等等读者可以一概不理,那些只是告诉你这本是武打漫画吧了。

非常喜欢里面有血有肉的人物,作者马荣成在性格刻划方面相当不俗,不愧是“风云”作者。最喜欢的是故事里并没有永远的好人及坏人,个个都性格复杂,往往性格随环境而改变,非常的符合人性现实。

作者亦喜欢东抄西拿,把电影故事或人物加入正在发酵的情节中,有些人可能会反感,但在我看来倒是添加了不少的乐趣。譬如把电影“2001太空漫游”的创造者“石碑”加入故事中,成为漫画内人类的智慧传授者(与电影内的角色一样),最终更再度出现以收拾实力强大的恶魔。

另一个例子是某个时期美国总统竟然是“阿诺舒华”,这简直是影射现在的美国加州州长“阿诺舒华新利加”啊!当初看了惹人发笑。

甚至还有魔鬼撒旦成了“阿尔。帕奇诺二世”(美国著名演员,凭教父2夺下奥斯卡最佳男演员奖)

不仅如此,作者尤其喜欢加以大玩特玩各大宗教的经典,特别是圣经及佛经。呵呵。过程中又布满谜面,非常过瘾,相比之下最近数年的风云故事平平淡淡,杂乱无章,令人惋惜。

其实,黑豹非如此肤浅,有些时候某某人物所说的句子甚至突然冒出的旁白堪称经典并充满哲理。

第691期第6页,“每一件伤天害理的事情背后,都有一个动人的理由,问题是,你认同与否”

第691期第15页,“人类与生俱来最大的权利,就是容许怀疑看见的一切”

第692期第29页,“如果认为权利是必然属于自己的话,那是入魔”

龙虎门

小时候,爸常买了龙虎门回来。然后还在如厕时看。久而久之,我也有样学样,成了龙虎门迷,也养成了如厕时非读些东西不可的习惯。

当然,龙虎门地精彩打斗是深深的吸引了年纪还小的我,不断刺激着我的感官!

看了一期,就一直期待着下一期的到来。

我也不时也临摹了漫画里的角色。画得还似模似样的。

可以这么说,龙虎门简单的故事情节,让小孩子如我容易消化,也满足了我的江湖幻想。加上有些微的色情因素,女主角身材玲珑暴露,让我对龙虎门更加爱不释手。

当时,看了龙虎门,再看金庸小说,简直是人生一大乐趣。他们的故事就是那么的吸引人。

层次分明的武功、霸气十足的角色、紧凑刺激的情节,就是我看龙虎门地原因。

我是丛通天教时期看起的,当时的故事尔虞我诈,出卖来背叛去,主角们一一落难的经过让人紧张。后来故事发展到神话境界,神级的歹角不断出现,每个角色的武功也被逼提升至神级!

直到旧版龙虎门完了,我还继续追着新版。新版在很多方面都进步了许多。继续加油吧!

真有如此业障?

〔业力〕这概念源自印度。佛教东来,深深融入华夏文化,所以我们也用惯听惯了〔业力〕这词。

但,我们清不清楚〔业力〕是怎么一回事呢?为了这,我一直以来不断的寻找答案。

我自小所听说的版本,是你做什么,就得到什么。你对人好,四处积善,不断帮人,你将因此得到好〔福报〕,即使这世你过得并不怎么顺利,你下一世也会因这世所积德的〔福报〕而受益。反之,你若作恶多端,你会受〔恶报〕,若是未报,乃时辰未到。

我觉得这道理实在太过简单,简单到许多讲逻辑的人随便想想就找出破绽了。

寻寻觅觅,终于找到了我所满足的说法,就是〔一切唯心〕。积善时久会长〔善心〕,作恶太多良知终究会〔愧疚〕。当然,我们的脑袋有本事自己骗自己,以为可以作恶做得〔心安理得〕。要知道,可以闪避忘记所作罪恶,是掩饰不了埋藏内心的罪恶感的。

我们的心思,每时每刻都深深烙印在〔潜意识〕或佛家〔阿赖耶识〕,最终成了〔业〕。业不断的循环运转,维持世界这个〔假象〕。

一天,有幸碰到一位〔高人〕。

此高人学习打坐多时,精通拉惹瑜伽。一次打坐时自己为自己解降,把隐隐刺痛的降头针从身体掏出,埋在很深很深很深的地洞里。他记得曾在洞内看见许多椰树。他不知道那意味着什么。

有一天他走呀走呀,感觉到一些〔怪能〕如影随形。他不动声色赶快回家,立刻坐在沙发上,闭目默念藏密咒语,他感觉到此时对面有那〔东西〕,他不理,继续念咒语与该东西斗法,终于赶走了该东西。他起身,惊觉对面沙发竟深深凹了下去。片刻后其屋友回家,踏入屋内只见烟雾重重,还以为〔高人〕刚刚抽完烟呢。

这高人推拿功夫很好,很多顾客被他治好。有位博士来找高人推拿,高人轻轻按摩,博士就已痛不欲生。高人知道必是〔怪能〕作怪,就一边按摩,一边念咒语,把隐藏在 博士体内的〔怪能〕驱散。后来高人告诉我,那些〔怪能〕其实是该博士的〔冤亲债主〕,有时按到某部位时,该博士就〔鬼魂上身〕,突然状如老虎,张牙舞爪,发出咆哮声。有时按倒令一个部位时,又有另一个〔幽魂〕作怪,附身博士,怪罪〔高人〕为何多管闲事。高人唯有与之谈判,最后说服该〔冤亲债主〕,超度之。

世事还真无奇不有,信不信由君。

刚刚过去的生日

生日方过。虽没大庆祝,余仍觉难忘。

犹记得,生日前夕,余前去参与例常脉轮冥想。巧的是,余老师竟来主持。余老师已甚少出现在例常冥想课,这回竟见其身影,余感欣慰。更巧的是,当天的课,〔心轮〕当值,而与〔心轮〕有关的星座竟是〔金牛座〕。余正是〔金牛〕也。

当天余也与家人庆祝,没什么特别的事。

第二天,也就是余的生日。余首次参与〔综相〕学课程。巧的是,上课地点竟是新地点。老师同学都是第一次到该地点授课上课。上到一半,师母竟送上蛋糕。当然该蛋糕并非送给余,而是所有同学,当然包括余了。余暗地里谢天谢地谢守护神。在余生日当天能吃上别人送的蛋糕。
