People don't do outdoor activities

Every weekend I ask people to go to the beach. It used to be camping, but giving the hot weather camping isn't a good idea. I keep routinely asking, people keep routinely declining. What a waste staying indoors while the sun is shining. What a waste not going to the beach which are so near to the city. I should have gone by myself. I did sometimes.

辯論教不了明辨是非

中學生都有辯論項目﹐說是訓練思考。辯論隊是先定了正反方才開辯的。定正反方多是憑抽籤﹐跟隊員的取向無關。況且既在隊中﹐形勢叫人要立場一致。好像在行政會議內不論爭得如何火紅火熱﹐對外總要集體負責。口只講心所信的人做不了好辯員。好辯員服務的不是自己的心﹐而是形勢﹐是立場。無論如何都要指出自己的立場是對的﹐更加要駁斥對方是錯的。這樣的教育能出哲人﹖官僚系統倒須要這樣出來的人。一般學生雖然有接觸辯論﹐訓練卻都不深。可是社會上已經到處都見到做事先有立場﹐再找論據的人。辯論是社教化活動﹐不是智力訓練。

Toothache

The right-back wisdom tooth constantly causes trouble for years. Recently I often go to sleep without brushing teeth. Is my tooth holed?

What a night

There are thieves everywhere. One attempted to open the front zip of my backpack. The zip was a waterproof one, so it is hard to open. The thief gave up after opened one inch. Ha, poor thief.

I got my mom's mobile handset. A rather old and heavy Nokia. But it is a Nokia! The navigation is good as always.

At 9:30pm I was sleepy. I went to bed, hoping to get up at 10:10pm. The new handset had been set to alarm at that time, but either I didn't hear it or it didn't sound. I woke up at 4am. The air is so fresh, the sky so clear, the road so calm. I read for one hour, then felt tired. My intention of jogging failed again.

My hair is long. I need hair cut this week.

Another typhoon is coming. It may be coming very close to Hong Kong. The F2 boards have all been reserved in Tai Mei Tuk. I had no choice but to book a raceboard.

Have something to do

I've done something unmeaningless in the office. This is already an archivement!

Too many books

This year I have bought too many books. I can't finish them. I don't even remember that I've bought some of them. How to stay alert at night, after a day's work? I always fall asleep in the sofa when reading. And in the morning I can't get up. I do wake up most of the time, but am always lazy to get up.

Forgot to apply for water activities

Once more I forgot to dial at 8:30am to apply for water activities courses. This time I didn't recall it till afternoon. There are only 5 hours to go and I'll be qualified for higher level courses. I don't have a single course this summer!

Mobile dies completely

After my Nokia has been stolen, I am using the old
handhset which Gladys gave me when I was dead poor.
Its battery has always had problem. Fully charged and
it couldn't survive one day. But today it couldn't be
charged at all. Two or three hours later, it switched
off automatically. I wanted to wait for my sister's
since she expressed she wanted to change it. Now I
think I can't wait that long but have to buy a handset anyway.

核心價值 => 特質

香港人的特質是甚麼﹖社會上討論著核心價值。我想問的﹐不單是我們共同的價值觀﹐更是我們在各個方面表現出來的特質。譬如坐地鐵爭座位說話大聲等﹐總不能說是核心價值吧﹖卻是地地道道的香港現象。可是又不能說這些是香港人的特質。至少有好一部份的大陸人也是這樣的。是甚麼地地道道別無分店的特質﹐構成香港人呢﹖

I don't like music

It's a shame that I have no affection for music. I don't feel anything special when listening a song. Filmmakers nowadays often put music in films just because they want to sell OST. The films I love are those with little sound. I'm not talking about silent films.

Byebye to Hoiying

A friend whom I knew when I was studying in Antibes is heading towards home in Germany. I don't know if we'll see each other again. Byebye and good luck!

中庸之道 / 止於至善

既然儒家講中庸之道﹐那為甚麼對善的追求要去到極致(止於至善)﹖

I finally have something to say

To build a blog site is so easy. I always want to practise my writing. Here I have the chance.
