每日一曲 :: 情深深 雨濛濛 - 趙薇

雨落思心愁,只問情何留。空望愁憶流,裊裊止盡頭。



情深深 雨濛濛 - 趙薇 (Watch MV Here)

作詞:瓊瑤 
作曲:徐嘉良
 
 情深深,雨濛濛 
 多少樓台煙雨中
 記得當初,你儂我儂
 車如流水馬如龍
 儘管狂風平地起
 美人如玉劍如虹
    
 情深深,雨濛濛
 世界只在你眼中
 相逢不晚,為何匆匆
 山山水水幾萬重
 一曲高歌千行淚
 情在迴腸盪氣中
 
 情深深,雨濛濛
 天也無盡地無窮
 高樓望斷,情有獨鍾
 盼過春夏和秋冬
 盼來盼去盼不盡
 天涯何處是歸鴻

Job Security?

So what is job security?

When I was a kid my dad used to tell me the following:

"Son, if you are loyal to your boss; loyal to the company you work for; come to work early and leave late (but never leave earlier than your boss), do what is asked to do and no complaints; be honest and don't "擦鞋" 和 "攪是非" then you will have job security.".

My dad applied these principles and worked for the same company for 40 years.

I am amazed that my father had actually accomplished this milestone. However, nowadays I really doubt if these principles could work in today's corporate world, particularly in the private industry/enterprise sectors. I believe today employers' expectations of their employees are:
  1. What have you done for me lately?
  2. What can you bring to the table?
  3. Why should I keep you on payroll?
  4. Be innovative, we don't need a "cow" (meaning you should complete your assignments on time w/o OT);
  5. Can the group/team/company survive without you?
  6. Be an overachiever (accomplish more within your standard work hours)
  7. Proactive rather than reactive
  8. Self-starter with minimum assistance/guidance
  9. Team player

Do all these sound very challenging to you? If not, congratulation; you are a survivor.

每顆人間煙火 全都美麗了我

Snowy, snowy, snowy; shovel, shovel, shovel...

Woke up this morning and it's snowing a bit. Yesterday was a picture perfect day!

Oh well. Here is what it looks like outside my home on Sunday.



However, Spring is just around the corner. I took these pictures in the Wheaton's Flower Garden in Maryland a few weeks ago and they looked very "Spring" to me, hehe.

每日一曲 :: 紅日 - 李克勤

今天陽光普照,又是周末,所以我點了首 [紅日] 給大家欣賞。

點解是 [紅日]? 因為 WittyBB 話佢未見過 Charlie 未成名的樣子喎!




紅日 - 李克勤 (Watch MV)

曲︰立川俊之
詞︰李克勤
編︰方樹樑

*命運就算顛沛流離 命運就算曲折離奇
命運就算恐嚇著你做人沒趣味
別流淚 心酸 更不應捨棄
我願能 一生永遠陪伴妳

重唱 *

#一生之中兜兜轉轉 那會看清楚
徬徨時我也試過獨坐一角像是沒協助
在某年 那幼小的我
跌倒過幾多幾多落淚在雨夜滂沱

+一生之中彎彎曲曲我也要走過
從何時有妳有妳伴我給我熱烈地拍和
像紅日之火 燃點真的我
結伴行 千山也定能踏過

%讓晚風 輕輕吹過
伴送著清幽花香像是在祝福妳我
讓晚星 輕輕閃過
閃出妳每個希冀如浪花 快要沾濕我

重唱 *,#,+,%,*,*,*,*,*

每日一曲 :: 一生何求 - 陳百強

我們一生在追求甚麼? 還是我們已是身在福中不知福?

請珍惜眼前人。



一生何求 - 陳百強 (Watch MV)

曲︰王文清
詞︰潘偉源
編︰蘇德華

* 冷暖那可休 回頭多少個秋
尋遍了卻偏失去 未盼卻在手
我得到沒有 沒法解釋得失錯漏
剛剛聽到望到便更改 不知那裡追究

# 一生何求 常判決放棄與擁有
耗盡我這一生 觸不到已跑開
一生何求 迷惘裡永遠看不透
沒料到我所失的竟已是我的所有

重唱 *,#

一生何求 曾妥協也試過苦鬥
夢內每點繽紛 一消散那可收
一生何求 誰計較讚美與咀咒
沒料到我所失的竟已是我的所有

重唱 #

Color...or Black and White?

When you take photos do they always look good (or appropriate) in color? In other words, what mood are you trying to capture?

Below are two pictures: one in color and one in B/W. My friend took the original in color, but I thought it looked more appropriate in B/W.

Comments?

每日一曲 :: 青蔥歲月 - 黃凱芹











青蔥歲月 - 黃凱芹 (Watch MV)

曲︰齊秦
詞︰小美
編︰盧東尼

*在昨日青蔥歲月
分擔失意 分享笑聲
在昨日各散東西
不知不覺 如遺失這一切

#現在我說笑欠反應
現在我歎氣欠寧靜
似跌進冷血世間消耗生命
天天的死拼懶去講心聲

+靜待日落西山的晚上
想起你 也一起寫過詩
但現在你我隔一方
可想起我 同回憶這真摯

重唱 *,#,+

可想起我 同回憶這真摯

First date signs he’s a keeper

I came across this post on MSN which seemed interesting. You can read it here.

First Date Signs He's a Keeper

Of the six signs, #4 was kind of a surprise to me. See below, quoted.

"#4: He mentions his mom (in passing).“In passing” is the operative phrase here. Why? You want to know he has a strong relationship with the woman who gave him life (if he gets along well with her, he’s more likely to respect women in general, Sherman notes), but isn’t scary close to Mom."

However, I'd heard some girls told me the opposite instead. Girls didn't seem to like to hear their guys talking about their moms because the girls feared that the "moms" might negatively affect their relationships in the long run.

So guys, when you go for a date, flip a coin before you mention your mom in the conversation; it's a gamble (hehehe) :-)

Blogging and Why...

As you get older your memory starts to fade.

And this is the reason why this blog is UP.

Can't keep track of many things in my head anymore. Using blog is an excellent way to keep an e-diary available 24x7, or as long as you are near an Internet-capable device.

And blog is your good friend. "It" will listen to your stories, good or bad. If you have had a bad day and found no one to talk to, talk to your blog then. The opposite is also true - tell the blog your good stories. Share a laugh, or "weep" a hurt feeling.

Anything goes.
