要臉不要臉

要臉:

李明逵晚上聲稱, 拘留 在告士打道集結的900人。

被拘留期間, 被拘留人士載歌載舞,激叫口號 。打出來的電話說好開心。應該是世上最自由的被拘留人士。我們幾個兜了好多個圈,想盡辦法都進不去。應該是世上最想

你還有什麼辦法

當傳媒和政府合演一場好戲,把事情描述為一場騷亂;但鏡頭所及,卻有不少市民安然作壁上觀、而且在場的市民不但不驚不懼,往往還對示威者報以掌聲,你感到驚訝,作為一個市民,如果不相信,還有什麼辦法。

我不明白這些警察

四點未到,聽到警方出水炮,我們加速衝上馬師道天橋。沿途見一位韓農被抬出來,我馬上紅了眼睛。見到太利,太利也紅了眼睛,叫我們不要衝,大家坐下來和警方撐。 我見到陳滅。

The problem of secrecy

The problem of secrecy is that it lets people hide their mistakes.People don't like admitting to mistakes, so if given a chance a fairnumber of people will actively hide them. And secrecy hides people'smistakes passively by preventing inspection of things.

文輝出書

老友出書,我最高興。

去年我也為另外兩位老友出書而寫文章,甚至當主持。

每次有這些事情,我們也會擔心被譏為小圈子。

不過,算了吧!出一本書會有人眼紅,不出書也會有人眼紅,澳門有很多人患有紅眼症,總希望全世界

同時讀好多本書

我的閱讀習慣越來越古怪,以前讀書很專心,現在就有點亂,簡單紀錄一下,我的閱讀可能跟我的心情大有關係。

剛剛讀完的書
余就風<十兄弟>

企管隨筆是我喜歡讀的書,因為與我的生活息息相關,對照我的工作環境,處處有

文化,走出去!

文化不應是曲高和寡的;文化應該如穿衣吃飯般自然與必然;文化應該與市民大衆的生活息息相關;文化應該就是市民生活行為與思想的體現。要做到這樣,就要全民參與到文化的建設上,就要發揮全體市民的意志與力量。

北海道五天精華遊


2005年12月3日至7日,與琪琪到北海道旅行,玩足五天,開心到極。

這是我兩年來首度請假去旅行,上一次,是2003年9月,那一次我們去了泰國曼谷,之後的兩年,工作天昏地暗,為了生活,失了尊嚴,也失了自
