走唔甩都係中國人

十多歲，京士頓上中學。
那時華人不多，同班幾個：加拿大土生祖父母來自台 山，除英文法文，只曉台山話。也有香港生，自小隨父母移民原籍台山、上海、廣府人。還有來自馬來西亞，東馬KK的小娟，飛多倫多途經香港，親戚帶去半島酒 店下午茶，碰到蕭瑤、林珍奇、傅聲，幾乎打亂讀書計劃求父母讓她入邵氏做明星。原籍客家，強調自己馬來西亞人……

點解不叫自己中國人？反正當地人弄不清楚，全數中國人。
少年的我對拒認中國人頗不以為然，縱使1997前出生在大英帝國屬地，拿着大不列顛護照，填寫身份一直British，總不可能似李登輝說自己為日本人。
「中國人」三個字搞砸了什麼？那麼多億人努力成為美人加人澳人卻又同時高舉紅旗，為中國人這面招牌護航，每逢什麼台星、港星稍稍向老外說自己台灣人、香港人，立即自網絡開始圍毆，群起攻擊，繼而罷看。
英籍、美籍華人……山旮旯毛里裘斯、波里尼西亞華人未興起時，連「華裔」二字都未上位，使盡千方百計潛逃出國，急於做華人的內地人，將「華人」二字逼迫火紅，猶如已成歷史用詞「外匯券」。
華人、中國人英語怎麼叫？Chinese！
法語、西語、意語……都差不多串法，無人講究叫：Hwa Yan。
澳 門人、香港人、台灣人，就是西藏人、蒙古人、回族人、滿族人，文字上如何寫一回事，擺上國際眼睛，什麼裔？Who cares？黃皮杏眼一律中國人，從前被誤認日本人，現在可能韓國人，反動美國達賴喇嘛支持者會刻意突出藏人。台獨、港獨、乜獨物獨都可以繼續遊行示威， 卻擋不住財迷心竅當今世途，只認「中國人」，歷史如此，現實如此。
台南女學生指罵馬英九兼堅稱自己不是中國人。又如何？
香港大學生畢業典禮上，持黃傘用屁股對着梁振英。又如何？
人生之悲哀，此生非你有，絕大部分隨波逐流，少年輕狂轉眼柴米油鹽，幾許理想瞬間明日黃花，你走得甩不被叫中國人？
你聽過沒有？在美國已五代土生華人，一樣被叫Chink，Chinese！
幾代日裔美國人，何曾不在二戰被關進集中營？
被叫中國人猶幸，只怕被誤認作中共人！

I am講I is成學生笑柄

聖若瑟英文書院為傳統老牌英中名校，名人校友輩出，但不少學生大爆校內老師的英文「醜史」。有該校學生透露，除中文、 中史及普通話科外，其餘各科課堂上有八成時間以英語授課，老師偶爾採用廣東話教書，但多以講解難明理論為主，以幫助同學更易掌握及理解知識。對於曾有老師 錯讀「I is……」，記者聞言後不禁反問：「老師係咪講笑咋？」但該學生搖頭說不，並認真指：「老師講錯咗！」他指，有同學更於課堂上，即席糾正老師錯誤，挑戰老 師的英語權威。
讀錯「等腰三角形」 瘀足三年
另一學生則引述校內傳聞指，有數學老師將等腰三角形（isosceles triangle）錯讀為「isosonic」，結果老師的「瘀事」於校內廣為流傳，「由中一笑到依家，足足三年，都仲記得呀！」不過，該同學也指，任教 初中的部分數學科老師由體育老師同時兼任，故英語能力稍遜也不足為奇，同學亦會體諒；另亦有同學透露，有老師的英語口音「怪怪哋」，但不至於影響教學與溝 通，亦理解地稱：「其實佢教得明嗰科的知識就得啦，始終人人有不同能力，可能英文未必係佢專長！」
至於該校有老師被指有用廣東話輔助授課，教育局發言人指，得悉該校因應個別學生的學習需要，為部分英文詞彙提供中文註釋，當局已提醒該校作出適當跟進。

又係老師.....
問題當然不只是出在老師身上, 事實上香港人的英語能力跟本不足以應付日常生活, 更談不上用來教育下一代, 又當然香港有七百萬人一定有小部份英語能力極強, 但連自己都manage不到, 為何再去扮勁連累下一代.  結論係能力唔到不如選擇做其他工作, 或者努力改進自己, 今時今日當老師已經不是從前的你講我坐定定聽, 更加不是夠鐘落堂就走人. 真的選擇當老師, 就俾心機吧.

香港人為甚麼不生育？

雙非學生家長說他們苦心孤詣來香港生育，是為了支援香港下一代，因為香港人不生育。香港本地人生育意欲低迷是事實，那麼，是甚麼原因令香港人對生育望而卻步呢？
十 七年來，香港經歷了甚麼？由中國隱瞞沙士帶來的疫症，由疫症帶來的蕭條，由蕭條引發的自由行，由自由行造成的連串衝擊：對原有制度與秩序的衝擊；租金的不 合理上升對各個行業造成的衝擊（這同時也令尋常香港人安居樂業的夢想幻滅）；雙非嬰的出現，對本港醫療體系、教育體系及一切公共福利造成的衝擊。今天，白 皮書的出現，更如一張死亡證，宣佈了一國兩制的死亡，令香港人看不到明天，對香港人造成更巨大的心理衝擊。
自由行同時也令香港由一個文明開放的國 際都會淪落成為單一人種遊客服務的大商場，令香港人職業選擇收窄。生活在九七後的香港，看不到明天，看不到希望，欲安居而無室，結婚？是膽博膽的遊戲。若 生育，更是赤膊上戰場，要搶床位搶奶粉搶學位……設想一下那畫面，誰還有能力生育？會不舉陽痿的大佬！
十七年來，香港由文明社會墮落到專權體制之下，前路茫茫，稍有責任感的父母都不敢生育。卻被雙非父母責難。倒果為因到這程度，簡直是強盜邏輯。還是這句：有甚麼樣的政府，有甚麼樣的人民。

生定唔生? 我們與生俱來的生育權利原來並不真實, 選擇的原本是強國.

他們在大陸被剝奪權利剝奪自由, 無關係, 因為在香港他們有再多的空間給他們搶奪. 從前的香港人命苦, 樣樣都要涯; 今日香港人命苦, 樣樣都要搶; 將來的香港人命更苦, 樣樣都被搶了.

Whatsapp to charge annual fee on Andriod user

Rumour spreads that an annual charge of US 0.99 would be charged by Whatsapp, which is a brilliant, ads-free, fast and simple communication platform on mobile phone. Not to mention the charge itself, which I personally think very reasonable as compare to the capital cost of getting a smartphone and the recurrent monthly fee or even the money users may "drop" for no reason, the talking point in Hong Kong is "there are thousands of users showing their anger toward such business action".

Character of Chinese (Hongkonger)
Trying to explain the shouting in regards the .99 annual fee, the ultimate factor should be the inborn character of Chinese. Being a country developing from a weak communist party with plenty of social and external problems, generations of Chinese was born to survive and retain their family. While it can be a good thing to maintain a nice social bonding in family level, there is basically no trust and respect lie between Chinese. This then leads to the current situation where people won't respect value of invention by privating peoples' works and ideas.

When someone cannot appreciate Whatsapp as a nice little software (Chinese prefer criticising then appreciate, esp. to other races), they found no reason to pay, even it's .99.

When someone thought Whatsapp as a blood-sucking devil company / business like those mainland ones, they found no reason to pay, even it's .99.

When someone thought Whatsapp can be replaced by the marvellous mainland WeChat (of course it's free and I believe it's funded by the Central Gov as a way of monitoring daily communication), they found no reason to pay, even it's .99.

Shame to have such mindset, even shame to tell the world that you have such a mindset
In this incident, I can agree no more on one thing I used to appreciate Chinese - Subtle.
Certainly no one is happy when a freebies turn to be charged, however, the worst thing is only these people would yell  / shout / complain on FB or wherever public......for how much? for .99.

Other thought
Just realised another similar issue about the free 3G internet connection for previous keyboard Kindle. Yes, it's free, it's worldwide, but then some tried even to "share" the signal for other purposes (even some wise one expected that excessive users might be blocked or lead to the removal of such service).
Greediness.

Bad is bad ... no matter what

Why the hell everyone of you said “唔好意思幫唔到我”, I would have felt much better if no one has an intention to “help” me. At least I can leave it to fade or luck or whatever I can’t control. And now everyone of you tells me I was simply not the one or being picked or being accepted. I know the fucking hell now!!!




I met mustache this morning and he said that to me.



“I just don’t like what you said, okay??!?” “It’s disgusting to listen to you” “I know I wasn’t good in control my weight, so what!!!” She’s right. I can’t really answer.



I asked hh to not to add an extra spring roll for dinner.



“I came back on Sunday for hours to wrap up the monthly report”



My new supervisor told me that she spent her Sunday in the office touching-up on my works on Friday.



Conclusion:

Irrespective of my good intention, no one really knows or likes or understands or appreciates what I say or did. Negative is negative, it can never be changed no matter what.

"衰收尾"

Tonight is the "real" farewell to the team head in a closed small-scale gathering afterall (after all the holidays, all the posting thing as well as rumours).  What he is going to tell me tonight? Did he standby me during the process?

Set aside the acting, it's been a mess in holding this gathering.  13 people used to raise their hands and it turned out only 7 did really sit at the dining table.  Almost half...  Some were sick, some were disappeared, some were out of town.  Amongst the 7 people attended, just realised that I was damn fucking hell the only one showed up in BOTH the official farewell as well as this small-scale one.  For instance, I roughly spent $800 on the farewell of someone (who also accidentally leads to my current situation).  How stupid I am.

Over the dinner, upon early departure of the disappointing supervisor, I was expecting the team head to tell me something (or at least reveal what he felt on this comedy).  Till the end of the dinner, he finally said "衰收尾".  Okay, that's it.  Of course I turst him, like I did during the last similar occasion half a year ago.  The mystery is still - Why is it?

All the way back home, I realised it's not indeed a new thing to me to "衰收尾".  Ever since the time of Ms Yuen till now, history repeats itself.  Together with hh, the conclusion is I'm having a life full of lies and excuses. 

- you are handsome and smart
- you are presentable
- you are having plenty of chance....in the future
- you are expecting a "normal" wife
- you are expecting a "normal" home

You know what, the turth is nothing is going to happen.
