How to help bicyclists #1: don't do us any special favours

Where to find my Flickr photostream

最近買的書

有一日我發神經
覺得自己讀得書少
於是一口氣在網上買了一批書
然後出街買書
最後殺出珠海再買
好似完全失去理智咁
不過我真係鍾意呢種感覺

How libraries should handle internal warning messages

本土電影《哭的過程》雖然有導演投下的大筆資金,也在香港和韓國的影展交流活動中放映過有限的場次,但最終並未能排上商業戲院放映,在本澳也只能在一年一度的電影節公映了幾場,既沒有得到一致讚賞的口碑,票房亦主

戲中戲(十一)

“導演,這場二十分鐘的戲,你只寫了一個‘哭’字,難道真的要一直哭一直哭嗎?我怕我哭不出來呀!”

“為什麼會哭不出來呢?之前的劇情說你的爸爸媽媽都死了,你妳暗戀多年的馮婉君也去了外國,可能你永遠都不會再見

阿B永遠不能忘記步入張佩詩的家時,那種驚訝,那種羨慕,那種真正發現自己有多麼貧窮的自卑感。

在這個位於南灣澳督府旁邊的向海單位內,張佩詩熱情地招呼著同一個排練小組的同學。在整個排練過程中,阿B都心神恍惚
