That's My King

聖誕節的真正意義...
 

發亂夢

足足有3個月沒在這裡活動了
 
天天都泡在facebook, 好像已經花了很多時間, 想記下來的東西很多, 腦筋和身體總是不配合, 一句都沒記下來...殘念 ><

一直都睡得不太好, 睡不穩又多夢, 有時夢境亂到不得了, 醒來的時候比上了一整天班還要累
 
可是昨天發的夢太精彩了, 一起床就告訴自己一定要記下來

其實到了中午, 我都忘了大部份!
零零碎碎的記得

不知為什麼, 我搬了去沙田的金獅花園 (我一次也沒去過那裡!)
在家裡抬頭直接看到天空 (沒天花的嗎?!)
漆黑的天空飄浮著的東西可多呢, 像卡通般大的月亮, 有幾個好像太空基地的太空船 (由小至大我常常都夢到天上有太空船, 次次都好害怕 >^<), 還有一些好像在STAND-BY的小飛船
轉眼間我竟然坐上了太空上一個不知名的星球
說是不知名的星球, 看起來就跟地球沒分別 (我的想像空間就那麼小嗎?)
下船後, 要過馬路囉....接著就是跟日本京都差不多的街景
再往前走, 經過又迫又嘈雜的地方....是香港的屋村! 它們的名字叫 "健康村"和"勵德村" (為什麼是它們呀~這裡我也是一次也沒去過!)
還看得到以前公屋廚房外被油煙燻得一片黑的樣子 (這我知道為什麼夢見, 因為昨晚吃飯的時候才剛跟媽媽聊過這樣的話)
我還跟同行的人說, "移民來外星有什麼好呢? 住的地方還是那麼小, 還是住得那樣逼!"

說起來, 和我一起同行的...竟然是韓文班的同學 (哈哈~~~), 首領是老師!

走到不知那裡, 好像是上了另一艘太空船, 突然那艘船傾斜了, 機身爆開了! 那時候首領說 (究竟她說了韓文還是英文呢? 我聽起來怎麼好像廣東話), 快回到自己的太空船吧, 這裡快沒氧氣了! 快點逃命! 我們的太空船只能坐33人 (不知道為什麼好記得這個數字)
大家就慌忙走回自己的太空船, 好像真的有點呼吸困難呀 (難道我被被子蓋過頭了?)
終於走回自己的太空船上...我的呼吸好像越來越困難了
可是還未夠33個人 (一般太空船不會有這麼多人吧... "==)
我好像呼吸不到了!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

然後我醒了.

好累啊 ><
 

半天假

今年的颱風總是週末才出現，都沒機會享受颱風假期...
昨晚風吹得特別兇, 今天早上起來發現原來還是八號球!
雖然一早說了十時左右會轉為三號, 有半天假已經很滿足了!

賴床到9時多, 爬起來洗個熱水浴
烤兩片吐司, 一片塗上由德國帶來的肝醬, 另一片塗上無花果醬
跟平時趕時間不一樣, 不用即沖即喝的飲料, 用小鍋子煮起紅茶來喝
坐在沙發上悠閒的的喝著, 看看書看看電視
慢慢的換衣服出門, 雖然還是要上班, 比起平時的忙碌滾著出門, 今天整個很舒服呢~

突如其來的半天假, 來多幾次便好了 哈哈~

上帝把兩群羊放在草原上，一群在南，一群在北。
上帝還給羊群找了兩種天敵，一種是獅子，一種是狼。
上帝對羊群說：「如果你們要狼，就給一隻，任它隨意咬你們。
如果你們要獅子，就給兩頭，你們可以在兩頭獅子中任選一頭，還可以隨時更換。」

這道題的問題就是：如果你也在羊群中，你是選狼還是選獅子？

很容易做出選擇吧？
好吧! 記住你的選擇，接著往下看。

南邊羊想，獅子比狼兇猛得多，還是要狼吧! 於是,它們就要了一隻狼。
北邊羊想，獅子雖然比狼兇猛得多，但我們有選擇權，還是要獅子吧! 於是，它們就要了兩頭獅。

狼進了南邊羊群後，就開始吃羊。狼身體小，食量也小，一隻羊夠它吃幾天了。
這樣羊群幾天才被追殺一次。

北邊羊挑選了一頭獅子，另一頭則留在上帝那裡。
這頭獅子進入羊群後，也開始吃羊。獅子不但比狼兇猛，而且食量驚人，每天都要吃一隻羊。

這樣羊群就天天都要被追殺，驚恐萬狀，羊群趕緊請上帝換一頭獅子。
不料，上帝保管的那頭獅子一直沒有吃東西，飢餓難耐，撲進羊群，比前面那頭獅子咬得更瘋狂。

羊群一天到晚只是逃命，連草都快吃不成了。

南邊羊群慶幸自己選對了天敵，又嘲笑北邊的羊群沒有眼光。
北邊羊群非常後悔，向上帝大倒苦水，要求更換天敵，改要一隻狼。
上帝說：「天敵一旦確定，就不能更改，必須世代相隨，你們唯一的權利是在兩頭獅子中選擇。」

北邊羊群只好把兩頭獅子不斷更換。可兩頭獅子同樣凶殘，換哪一頭都比南邊羊群悲慘得多，

它們索性不換了，讓一頭獅子吃得膘肥體壯，另一頭獅子則餓得精瘦。
眼看那頭瘦獅子快要餓死了，羊群才請上帝換一頭。這頭瘦獅子經過長時間的飢餓後，

慢慢悟出了一個道理：自己雖然兇猛異常，一百隻羊都不是對手，可是自己的命運是操縱在羊群手裡的。

羊群隨時可以把自己送回上帝那裡，讓自己飽受飢餓的煎熬，甚至有可能餓死。想通這個道理後，瘦獅子就對羊群特別客氣，只吃死羊和病羊，凡是健康的羊它都不吃了。

羊群喜出望外，有幾隻小羊提議乾脆固定要瘦獅子，不要那頭肥獅子了。一隻老公羊提醒說：「瘦獅子是怕我們送它回上帝那裡挨餓，才對我們這麼好。萬一肥獅子餓死了，我們沒有了選擇的餘地，瘦獅子很快就會恢復凶殘的本性。」羊群覺得老羊說得有理，為了不讓另一頭獅子餓死，它們趕緊把它換回來。

原先肥壯的那頭獅子，已餓得剩下皮包骨頭了，並且也懂得了自己的命運是操縱在羊群手裡的道理。

為了能在草原上待久一點，它竟百般討好起羊群來。
而那頭被送交給上帝的獅子，則難過得流下了眼淚。北邊羊群在經歷了重重磨難後，

終於過上了自由自在的生活。

南邊羊的處境卻越來越悲慘了，那隻狼因為沒有競爭對手，羊群又無法更換它，它就胡作非為，每天都要咬死幾十隻羊，這隻狼早已不吃羊肉了，它只喝羊的血,　還不准羊叫，那隻叫就立刻咬死那隻。南邊的羊群只能在心中哀歎：「早知道這樣，還不如要兩頭獅子。」

這是一道非常簡單的選擇題，據我多次親自嘗試的經驗，如果問歐美的朋友，大多數人都會選獅子，

但是如果拿來問我們自己華人，大多數人都會選狼。領悟到了嗎？握有決定權的才有生機，否則只有任人宰割的份兒了…！

潛能密碼：當你覺得你的快樂是別人帶給你的，那麼，你將永遠不快樂，因為，你必須時時仰望著別人的臉色。與情緒來決定你的喜怒哀樂。當你覺得你是所有快樂的滿足的來源，那麼，你就是那個時時處於快樂天堂領悟的人，

“你決定你自己的一切。”

Fly to the Sky

汽球升空不是夢，有很多人已經飛過了，原來。
　
美藉日本人 John Ninomiya 和英國的 Ian Ashpole 都在這方面很有名。我也想試試看喔！

沖天救兵 UP

 
本來是為了燦爛的七彩汽球去看《沖天救兵 UP》的。在繽紛色彩之後，這個簡單卻寓意深遠的故事令我十分感動。在電影開始的十分鐘，老先生和太太的青梅竹馬專一愛情故事已經足夠令你流淚了。之後老先生為了守護與太太一起建立的家和實現兩人的夢想，用汽球帶著屋子找那南美洲夢想之地，跟突然出現的可愛小胖子一起歷險，有笑有淚有寓意有”回甘”。。。
 
這電影讓人思考到很多事情...

 
人生無奈的事情有太多，理想與現實的落差，童年夢想的破滅，為生活日忙夜忙（想生小孩可惜不育／想存錢去南美洲可是總有突發事情把存起的錢用掉／終於可以買飛機票去南美，太太卻生病了．．），可是只要好好的積極的去面對，人生還是可以很精彩的（在磨人的生活中和太太享受小小的幸福／帶著汽球去夢想之地）。只要肯去做，永遠都不會太遲，人生總會有轉機。就算活到哪個年紀，都可以活得積極快樂，任何一刻也可以開展新的旅程。
 
擁有專一愛你的情人真的很幸福，有人和你一起走過生命旅程一切喜與悲也是很幸福的。先走的那一位也是比較幸福的，因為她／他不用忍受失去老伴的孤苦伶仃。平凡的浪漫也許才是最浪漫的。
 
要珍惜小幸福，好像Russell說的，他最喜歡和爸爸一起坐在路邊數經過車子的顏色。他說：可能你聽起來會覺得很無聊，可是我覺得這是最好的時光。就好像老先生和太太，短短十分鐘他們濃縮的人生，並沒有什麼大成就，一直想要做的事也沒能一起做到，因為他們一直都很珍惜對方，面對無奈的生活也沒有一直抱怨而浪費光陰，雖然老太太先走了，他們的一生還是很幸福的。所以，面對什麼樣的情景，不同的心態也造就不同的結果。
 
要關心老人家。如果平時的動畫看到這位食古不化的老頭子，大概對他沒甚同情。人人都有過去，我們在電影開始便知道「Carl叔叔」的前半生，明白到他這樣子的原因對他給予無限同情。面對地產商高價收購不肯就範，看見他房子周圍都變成了地盤就覺得心酸。城市的急速變奏，老人家不能適應急速的變遷，身邊的人都想把他送進老人院去，可是，有沒有想過老人家心裡有多難受呢。
 
做父母的大概要想想自己夠不夠時間陪自己的小朋友？Russell的背景大概和美國配今很多小朋友相似：家裡的女人不是媽媽，爸爸又沒什麼時間陪他。他單純的以為只要做個好童軍，再拿到服務老人勳章爸爸便會出現在頒獎禮（雖然最後爸爸還是沒有出現）。
 
在適當的時候．放手。當Russell有危險，Carl叔叔要重新升起屋子去救他的時候，發覺屋子太重了飛不起。他毫不猶豫的把家裡的東西全部掉出去，甚至他最愛和妻子的沙發也丟掉！那是他當時擁有的所有物質，可是，當你發覺那些東西其實是阻礙你前進的，你就應該放手．．．因為物質始終都是物質，情是在心裡的。當時，救小Russell才是最重要的事。當你不再執著過去，你才有起飛的機會。
 
表面看來好像是給小朋友看的動畫，我覺得是給大人看的。可以一看再看。

Malcolm Gladwell is coming to Hong Kong

鼎鼎大名的 Malcolm Gladwell 8月7日將來香港舉行講座！信報用戶有機會以半價買票。即係呢，半價了都要三千；即係呢，有錢的話真的好想去，可惜我沒有。
　

如果你不知道Malcolm Gladwell是誰的話．．他就是熱爆全球的"The Tipping Point"; "Blink" & "Outlier" 的作者。

書輾

今天回家我立刻把facebook的headline改成 "在書展被很多拖喼輾過"。
　
明明是星期一吖，又不是最後一天，還以為人會比較少，真的是太天真太傻。在火辣辣的灣仔繞了幾個圈，不爭氣的肉肉雙腿和牛仔褲糊在一起時才進得到入會場。入場前一直像念著不可以花超過五百大元的我，結果還是破功了。
　
比起大出版社的攤位，我更愛田園愉林開益紫羅蘭樂文等書店。普通的English novels，Page One賣百多元，商務賣70幾元而他們卻才賣40幾，不買真的對不起自己啦～但我家還有很多未看，所以今次沒買這些。反而梁文道的買了好幾本。
 

The Shack

這幾個月一直陷入迷茫痛苦的我，這本書或多或少救了我。起碼，喚醒了我　神一直都在，我不是孤單的，一切事情的發生，都是有它的意義。
　
這本打正旗號基督教小說，高踞 New York Time 連續50週冠軍；成為2008年全美最暢銷小說。由一個失去至親的故事開始，故事的主角經歷了一個奇妙的救贖之旅，重新認識主及重建與主的關係。我看網上有很多讚賞可是亦有很多將這本書批評為異端，大概是因為書裡面把上帝變成了個黑人女人，主耶穌變成猶太工人，而聖靈變成了輕飄飄的亞洲女人吧？
　
剛開始看的時候也有點不自然的感覺，因為它形容的跟我們想像的大不同，可是，外表的形象又有何重要呢？我們一直的學習不是告訴我們不要以貌取人嗎？書裡面生動而且觸動心靈的情節內容，啟發了我長久以來的誤解和疑惑。實實在在是一本很好的書。
 
強烈推介。

食物宜忌 － 生果篇

今天蘋果日報介紹了食物相配的宜忌，很有用呢～
　
檸檬
宜：海產　－　檸檬汁的酸度能於 15分鐘內殺死大部份海產品中的細菌，故十分適合與海產同吃。
　　白糖　－　有生津止渴、開胃及安胎作用。
　
忌：胡蘿蔔　－　胡蘿蔔的維生素 C分解酶能破壞檸檬中的維生素 C，從而降低其營養成分。

木瓜
宜：　牛與豬　－　木瓜中的木瓜酵素可軟化豬或牛的肌肉纖維，使肉質嫩滑，並有益於蛋白質的吸收。
　　　牛奶　－　木瓜中的木瓜酵素有助牛奶中蛋白質的消化和吸收。

忌：　南瓜　－　南瓜中的維生素 C分解酶會破壞木瓜中的維生素 C，令其失去營養價值。

葡萄
　
宜：　糯米　－　葡萄中的葉酸與糯米中的鐵質相結合，能維持紅血球正常運作，有助預防貧血及消除疲勞。
　　　芝麻　－　葡萄皮和種子具有高強度抗氧化物質，搭配芝麻的維生素 E，能進一步增強整體的抗氧化功效，有防癌抗衰老功能。

忌：　蝦　－　葡萄所含的單寧酸會與蝦內的鈣質結合成不易消化的物質，易引起胃部不適，出現惡心及嘔吐症狀。

蘋果
　
宜：　豬肉　－　蘋果中的糖類與豬肉中的維生素 B1及鋅質一起結合，有助消除疲勞。

忌：　洋葱　－　蘋果所含的植物色素與洋葱的硫化合物同時攝取時，經人體消化分解後，易產生抑制甲狀腺作用的物質，從而誘發甲狀腺腫大。

西瓜
　
宜：　吃時撒上食鹽　－　因西瓜的鉀質與食鹽的鈉質結合，有助維持人體內的酸鹼平衡。
　　　綠茶及薄荷　－　西瓜及綠茶均具生津止渴功能；薄荷則有提神醒腦及鎮靜情緒的作用，三者搭配煮茶飲用，能使口氣更清新。

忌：　與酒同時享用　－　因酒精成份會破壞西瓜所含的泛酸，降低了營養價值。

士多啤梨
　
宜：　榛果　－　士多啤梨的維生素 C與榛果的鐵質相遇，可促進鐵質的吸收，預防貧血、增強體力。

忌：　燕麥及牛奶　－　士多啤梨中的有機酸，搭配含蛋白質的燕麥或牛奶食用，會產生沉澱物，不利於人體吸收，從而降低其營養價值。
　　　番薯　－　身體在進食富含澱粉質的番薯後會分泌大量胃酸，當遇上士多啤梨的果膠時即會生成凝塊，影響消化過程，從而使腸胃不適。

橙
　
宜：　與含高膽固醇成份如忌廉製品同吃；因橙含豐富能排走膽固醇的纖維素，有助減少膽固醇的吸收。

忌：　食完蝦食橙　－　蝦的鈣質與橙的單寧酸結合成不易被消化的物質，易刺激胃部導致嘔吐。
 

Is the Soul Mate Mentality a Sham?

關於出軌的人往往以soulmate做藉口(或許被誤導)，實在很在意．．．我深深相信 love is a choice，而且 happiness is our own responsibility。  什麼藉口都是掩飾自私的行為，我真的很希望，做錯的人快點醒覺；受傷的人快點痊癒．．．
 
看看別人怎麼說 (from www.crosswalk.com)：

Is the Soul Mate Mentality a Sham?

Deborah J. Thompson

Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer

 

There has been a lot of hoopla in the media lately regarding the use of the term, “soul mate” by South Carolina Governor, Mark Sanford, to justify his extra-marital affair. Our society has romanticized the notion of finding your soul mate for generations. There is something mesmerizing about the conviction that there is one person out there that is a perfect match for us, just waiting to be found.
　

And many couples enthusiastically use the term to describe one another when they first “fall” in love. The thrill of love in its infancy and the joy that we experience, seem to indicate that we have found that one perfect person that completes us and makes us better together than we were apart.
　

But when the reality of merging two lives into one collides with our romantic stirrings, many people deduce that they didn’t find their “soul mate” after all.  So they seek excitement or solace in the arms of someone else, or they part ways and are once again involved in the quest to fulfill their fantasy of finding the one and only person on this entire planet, who will make them happy.
　

And therein lies the first problem with this philosophy—our happiness is our own responsibility. If you are looking for someone else to complete you, to fill your life, to be the source of your contentedness, then you will be searching in vain your whole life. And you are placing an unreasonable expectation upon everyone with whom you develop a serious, romantic attachment.

 

Spouses, partners, friends and family are not here to make us happy. They are here for their own spiritual journey. When their lives intersect with ours, we can love one another, support each other, demonstrate kindness, and enhance our experience of being on this planet. But our ultimate happiness is not derived from other people, or even from our external circumstances. It comes from an attitude within us, our connection with God, and our choice to take personal responsibility for our own lives. Even a purported “soul mate” has no power to sustain our joy, our happiness, or our value and self-worth.
　

I found it interesting to read the various definitions of a soul mate:  “a person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament, a person who strongly resembles another in attitudes or beliefs”, “a person, especially of the opposite sex, with whom one has a deeply personal relationship”, and even, “a person with whom one gets along well because of having shared interests and experiences.” Hmmm…sounds a lot like how most of us have described our spouses at one time or another!

So how do we go from this definition of a “soul mate”--our own spouse, with whom we have “a deeply personal relationship”, who is “perfectly suited” to us, and who shares our “attitudes, beliefs, interests and experiences”, to “falling” out of love?
　
 

Well, this is the second problem with our romantic ideology about love. We use the terms, “falling in and out” of love when in reality, love is a choice. The feeling that initially attracts us to someone, is more akin to lust than to the true definition of pure, real, love. And that is why it doesn’t last. There is no way to sustain that level of fiery passion for a lifetime. And when our lives intrude upon our romantic inclinations, we start to believe that there is something wrong with our relationship.

But that is not always true. Passion burns with intensity at the beginning of a relationship. It is exciting, it feels good and we are often consumed by it. But all fires eventually burn themselves out when they run out of fuel. It is our job, as marital partners, to remember to “fuel” our relationship, to nurture it, to feed it, to cultivate it so that it can grow, develop and evolve into a sustainable and mutually beneficial partnership.
　

We must make a daily choice to continue to love one another and remember that little things can make a big difference. Ever since we were first married almost 18 years ago, my husband leaves a note for me on our bathroom mirror. He keeps a pad of sticky notes in his drawer and writes me a short message every day. And if one of us is traveling, he sends it to me in an email.
　

He takes his inspiration from whatever is happening in our lives at the moment or from his morning devotional reading. Sometimes he thanks me for something I have done, other times he compliments me, occasionally he apologizes, often he writes an uplifting and encouraging message, and sometimes he just simply says, “I love you.” There are usually just a few sentences, but they mean the world to me. They make me feel loved, appreciated, valued and cherished. 

And he has told me that in the disciplined act of writing these daily affirmations of his feelings, he “finds a new reason to love me, every day”. And that is the advice that he gives to all newly married couples he encounters, “Find a new reason to love one another, every day.”
　
 

That attitude demonstrates the realization that LOVE IS A CHOICE. It illustrates how to make the choice to continue to love, day after day, in spite of any circumstances that might detract you. And it exemplifies how you successfully transition from the blazing, passionate flames of new love, to the warm, glowing embers of a love that lasts a lifetime.
　
 

It is also interesting to note that while The Bible gives us a great definition and much advice regarding “Love”, I could find no reference at all to a “soul mate”. God never instructs us to seek out a soul mate. However, if we follow the precepts of marriage he provides, then it is possible to develop the spiritual, physical, and emotional connections implied in the term.
　

So is the notion of a soul mate some sort of sham? Perhaps. But I believe that my spouse is my soul mate--not because of some mystical twist of fate, but because we work on our marriage every day to ensure that our “soul mate status” remains intact.
　

We seek contentment and happiness within ourselves, try to limit our selfish behavior, forgive easily and quickly, and strive to maintain our connection with God and with each other. We appreciate each other and endeavor to find new reasons to love one another on a daily basis. We spend time together, sharing “interests and experiences”.  And we make the choice, every day to continue to love each other, respect each other, and treat each other with kindness, compassion and patience.

Perhaps we should all start embracing the notion that “soul mates” are made, not born, that we can 　
become soul mates with our partners. After all, what we really want when we seek a soul mate is someone that excites us, someone we can depend upon, and someone who really loves us for who we are. Put in those terms, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched or out-of-reach, does it?　
　
 

I know that becoming soul mates with our spouses requires more work on our part than just getting “lucky” and “finding” them does, but at least we don’t have to abandon our romantic desire for the level of connection and intimacy that the term “soul mate” represents to us. We can stop “searching the world” and start searching our own homes. And best of all, with God’s help, if we will integrate this mindset into our marriages, we can actually turn the fantasy of a soul mate into a reality.

Take a good look at your spouse today and see if you can’t “fan the flames” of love a bit. You just might find that you have been married to your “soul mate” all along, after all.
　

“So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe that God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.”  ~ Colossians 3:14 (The Message)

When The Ground Shakes

from today's Daily Bread
 
“ In my distress, I called upon the Lord. —Psalm 18:6 ”

When The Ground Shakes
READ: Psalm 18:1-6

“ In my distress, I called upon the Lord. —Psalm 18:6 ”

Several days after a devastating earthquake in the San Francisco area, a young boy was seen rocking and swaying on the school playground. His principal asked him if he was okay, and the boy nodded yes and said, “I am moving like the earth, so if there’s another earthquake I won’t feel it.” He wanted to prepare himself for another shaking of the ground.

Sometimes after a trauma, we brace ourselves for what might be coming next. If we’ve had a phone call that brought bad news, every time the phone rings we feel panicky and wonder, What has happened now?

The “ground was shaking” for the psalmist David after King Saul tried to kill him (1 Sam. 19:10). He ran and hid. He thought death was next and told his friend Jonathan, “There is but a step between me and death” (20:3). He wrote, “The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid” (Ps. 18:4).

David cried to the Lord in his distress (v.6) and found that He was a stabilizer, One he could trust would always be with him. He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; . . . my stronghold” (v.2). The Lord will be that for us also when the ground shakes under us.  — Anne Cetas

天使脆脆糖

小時候常常吃一種巧克力叫 "滴滴金"朱古力。薄薄的朱古力外殼包住焦糖味道有點fizzy的脆糖，是我最喜歡的小食之一。流行了很久的天使蛋白蛋糕我近來才第一次吃，原來在雪白的蛋糕上還會加上跳脫的脆糖，一吃就令我想起滴滴金朱古力！根本就是同一樣東西！我記得Nigella之前有教過一種很容易做的脆糖叫Hokey Pokey，可是做出來效果有點不太一樣。再上網找找食譜，我想關鍵應該在糖漿的種類，應該是要用粟米糖漿(corn syrup)的，它做出來的效果比較有黏性，比較脆口好吃呢！

　
材料：
砂糖100克
水 25克
粟米糖漿 (corn syrup) 25克
梳打粉 5克
 　
做法：

1. 在小鍋（有handle比較好） 有中加入砂糖, 粟米糖漿及水拌勻
2. 用中細火煮約4-5分鐘, 要煮沸起泡那樣。不用攪拌直到質地變得有點杰，開始有少少黃色的樣子
3. 搖一搖鍋子，令到全部糖都顏色均勻，就可以關火
4. 快手加入梳打粉，用長匙快速拌勻，此時混合物會起泡脹起。一直攪拌 直至膨脹減慢，將混合物倒上已鋪好焗爐紙的平盆內
5. 靜放到焦糖完全冷卻，將它用木棍敲碎或用手剝碎，就可以吃啦～
　
 

Soulmate?

朋友的老公有第三者，他說他找到他的soulmate了。 那個第三者也感性的說別人的老公是他的soulmate．．．現在究竟是什麼世界了？ 我真的很puzzle!！
　
找了很多資料，看了很多個案，很多有第三者的case都是說自己找到soulmate。我真的很想問，現在你熱烈的感覺不就正如當初你愛你的老婆一樣嗎？！ 那不是現在才找到你的soulmate，而是你去決定那個是你的soulmate。什麼什麼根本都是華麗的藉口。 只是為自己放縱的行為的掩飾。
　
雖然我不應該去批判別人，可是，明明是錯了還口口聲聲說這是自然發生的事，對不起老婆也是無可奈何．．．吓？！這樣的人我真的希望他跟他的"soulmate"一起吧，然後過幾年後又再找到他的soulmate吧！！好過現在你把他留住，他就永遠覺得得不到的那個就是最美好的。就讓他得到吧！然後讓他自己發現現實的殘酷吧！
 
美國South Carolina的 Governor也發生了同樣的事，讓支持他的市民、 家人、子女都很心痛。 雖然他說他想要和妻子重修舊好，但他的話卻令人明白他根本不是這樣想。他說："This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story," he said. He added: "A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day."  "knowing that I had met my soul mate."  okay．．你沒想到你的妻子有多無辜 ,有多傷心。如果那個真的是你的soulmate，你抓住不要放好了，不要到你百年歸老才來說，當年我遇到那個女人有多好．．．到你老的時候還要去傷透你妻子的心，倒不如現在去傷吧！就去看看你的soulmate能soul你多久吧！
　  
真係soul你老mate

okay，我是比較激動，就看看rational的professional怎麼分析吧 >>

Governors, Quarterbacks, and Soul Mates
Joe Beam
President, LovePath International

The news that South Carolina governor Mark Sanford described his mistress Maria Belen Chapur as his soul mate had not yet grown cold when another “married man in the wrong situation” story hit the airwaves. Former Tennessee Titan’s quarterback Steve McNair was murdered and his body found alongside that of the woman who expected him to divorce his wife and marry her, Sahel Kazemi.

No, this isn’t an attack on either of those men or their recent tragedies. My heart breaks for their families, particularly their children, as well as for their wives and the men themselves. Instead, if you will think with me for a few moments, perhaps we can get a clearer picture as to why good people – both Sanford and McNair claim Christianity – make very destructive decisions. Also, maybe we can put to rest the tired clichés surrounding the concept of finding a soul mate.

Every month I spend three intense days with a new group of married couples in crisis. Though certainly not true of all that attend, many come to my workshop with stories that parallel those of Sanford and McNair except theirs hasn’t been broadcast on national television. (Well, actually, some have.) Not just men, mind you, but women as well who have violated their marriage vows through strong emotional (and usually sexual) connection with another.

For more than twenty years I’ve listened to their stories, hundreds upon hundreds, and learned the commonality that runs through them. Yes, there are always “unique” circumstances. And, yes, those in these situations believe that no one else has experienced what they are experiencing nor understands what they are feeling. However, the foundations are so similar and the path so worn that to their astonishment I accurately and vividly describe for them their experience, emotions, and expectations of what comes next. The typical stunned response is something like, “You just spoke my heart!” or “You told my story!” or “How did you know?”

Nope, I’m not a magician. (I believe in miracles rather than magic.)

Uh-uh, it’s not a word of knowledge or divine revelation, though if God decided to do that with every couple I met it would certainly make my work easier.

It's Limerence.

Limerence was coined by Dorothy Tennov, PhD, in 1977. A great deal of research into it has been done by Helen Fisher, PhD, and her colleagues. I’ve witnessed it up close and personal through years of work with thousands of couples. As I describe it, you will realize that you’ve seen it too – maybe even experienced it. (Don’t worry if you never have; not everyone does.)

Limerence is being madly and overwhelmingly in love to the point of obsession. While it incorporates some dimensions of the agape (Ephesians 5:28) and phileo (Titus 2:4) forms of love that Christians are familiar with from Scripture, it also has several shovelfuls of eros mixed in. One in the throes of limerence thinks constantly about the limerence object (LO, the designation used to identify the one the limerent is madly in love with). The limerent feels strong passion and tremendous pleasure and happiness, even euphoria, associated with the LO. In the eyes of the limerent, the LO rises above normal humanity and is viewed as nearly flawless. I could spend pages describing it, but this gives the idea. (See chapter four of my book Your LovePath for more.)

From Fisher’s work we know that in this state the limerent’s brain increases dopamine (the ecstasy, happy, feel-good chemical in the brain) and decreases serotonin (the inhibitor, finish things, bring things to a conclusion chemical in the brain). To draw us toward the lover and overcome any barriers that might distract or prohibit us from pursuing, the brain goes into a phase in which logic and intelligence surrender to feelings and emotions. It’s a natural high that is as strong, if not stronger, than nearly any drug. And it gets stronger.

Emotions continue to intensify as fear develops that somehow one may lose the LO and the relationship will not last. Fear increases passion. That’s why it is so euphoric while at the same time so scary. In short, the limerent’s brain is a cauldron of unbalanced chemicals that lead to the absolute misery of blissfully intense love; happy thoughts mixed with fearful thoughts, wonderful fantasies about the future diluted by nagging doubts, euphoria sometimes dropping suddenly into depression, and giddiness competing with Godliness.

With inhibitions reduced and ecstasy increased, one in limerence describes his/her feelings in glowing, romantic terms. Governor Sanford said of his relationship with Chapur, “This was a whole lot more than a simple affair. This was a love story. A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.” He believes that he will reach death “knowing that I had met my soul mate.”

Soul Mate?

If Sanford is in limerence with Chapur (a given, don’t you think?) you can see why he believes that. Look up the origin of the phrase soul mate and you’ll find that it began with the idea that Zeus (people later attributed it to Karma and eventually to God) split souls and we spend our lives looking for the person that is the other half of us. Therefore, if we are so lucky as to find and develop a relationship with the person who deeply understands and validates our emotions, thoughts, and dreams, we have found the soul who completes us – our soul mate.

Sounds so romantic and beautiful, doesn’t it? However, there are two major problems with it.

First, it’s just not true. The fairy tale, myth, fantasy, or whatever you wish to call it has been propagated through the centuries via the human experience of limerence. It’s a given in the marriage business that whomever you marry brings with him/her a set of problems. Marry this one and you get one set of problems. Marry that one and you get a different set. The absolute is that there ARE problems in every relationship and that each person on the planet is imperfect.

While it’s a fun fantasy to think that putting two imperfect people together would create perfection, it has no basis in reality. There is not one passage in the Bible that teaches that God has the perfect person for us out there somewhere. And there is no passage that tells us how to know if we actually encountered that person if such a person exists. Should we base it on how we feel? As you’ll see in a moment, that won’t work either. Why? Limerence fades away. Always.

Second, it makes God the one responsible for very bad decisions. Since Adam blamed God for making the woman that caused all the trouble (Genesis 3:12), people have been claiming that through circumstances and situations God led them to do the thing they did. As one woman leaving her husband for her “soul mate” said to me, “This is the man God meant me to have and be with all my life. He completes me. I know I was wrong to sleep with him before I divorced my husband, but there is no doubt that God sent this man to me.”

If you believe that God indeed has a specific soul mate for you and you finally beat the six billion to one odds and find that person, then who can blame you for abandoning the one you married before you finally found the person that God really meant you to have in the first place?

It’s hard to convict people of sin when they partner God in the sin.

The end of limerence.

Medical and social research shows that limerence exists to draw two people together, but it was never intended to keep two people together. As God made our bodies, including our brains, He made us very complex beings. (Psalm 134:19) Part of His design is that at least some people are strongly attracted to each other through the process that we call limerence. Not everyone experiences it. When it is experienced between two people who have a right to each other, we love to watch their love. When it is experienced between two people who don’t have a right to each other, it leads to very bad situations.

We know that limerence lasts somewhere between six months and thirty-six months. When the limerent isn’t limerent any longer, things change in his/her perception of the LO and of life itself. Flaws and problems move from the realm of the denied or obscure to that of the acknowledged and obvious. You hear former limerents saying things such as, “Was he always like that? I never saw it. I don’t think he was like that before.” Other priorities in life become important again. The person leaving limerence broadens his/her life, making more time for friends, hobbies, and the like.

This is as it should be and is yet more proof of the wisdom of God. If we didn’t move past limerence the human race would have died out eons ago because rather than planting the crops, lovers would have been sitting under trees reciting poetry to each other. As noted earlier, limerence is made to draw us strongly together, but it is not the element that bonds us for life. That is a different kind of love that is very deep, but much more rational and far less euphoric and obsessive.

That is one of the difficulties Governor Sanford faces now. The Associated Press writes, “Sanford said he is trying to fall back in love with his wife, Jenny, even as he grapples with his deep feelings for Chapur.” The ecstasy – though short-lived – of limerence will never compare in intensity with the type of love that makes for a wonderful, life-long marriage. He will need the proper help to overcome the one and find deep and true fulfillment in the other. Unfortunately, it would take a book to explain our success in helping people overcome limerence and learn to love their spouses in deeper ways than they ever imagined. Therefore, instead of providing the answer to limerence here, allow me to mention at least three ways that limerence may end.

Badly.

If two people are in limerence with each other, they usually don’t evolve past limerence at the same pace. Often one is still entrenched in limerence while the other has lost most or all limerence. That often leads post-limerent to abandon the still-limerent, either physically, emotionally, or sexually. Because of the intense emotions felt by the one still in deep limerence, logic, rules, values, and even self-preservation may disappear in a fog of desperation. The limerent typically tries to stop the post-limerent from ending the relationship and will employ increasingly intense actions to keep the LO from moving on. Tactics may include manipulation, control, guilt, seduction, blackmail, threats, slander, public scenes, suicide, and murder. Obviously not every limerent being abandoned will do every option listed here. Some do hardly any. But the truth is that some will do all of them, or in an intensely fearful moment jump straight to killing the LO and/or self.

This appears to be what happened to McNair and, as always, it is such a shame. By all accounts he was a good man who genuinely cared about people and who would roll up his sleeves and get directly involved in helping. On Nashville television a fellow church member described the kind of man that McNair was. But even the best of people, even those who love Jesus and want to do right, can get into terrible situations if they fall into limerence with someone to whom they have no right. It appears that Steve did. It also appears that Sahel did to a level that would not allow him to do anything but marry her or die. Many hearts broke and those who loved them will have a tough time healing.

Of course, trying to convince two people in limerence that one of them might become that desperate some day is fruitless. While still in limerence people usually see no flaws in the other and anticipate living happily ever after. If they have a right to each other, that impossible expectation isn’t as harmful as when they don’t have a right to each other. Either way, no relationship lives on limerence for more than three years and must have something deeper to survive a lifetime.

Sadly.

At least Governor Sanford is alive and so is his paramour. However, the embarrassment and shame he faces publicly, including the demands that he resign from office and the humiliation suffered by his wife and children are a terrible price to pay. As long as he is in limerence he will likely see his love for Maria as worth it. When limerence fades – and it definitely will, no matter what he believes about it now – he will come to a point of self-examination and guilt that will likely be far worse than whatever he faces now. At least I know that will happen if he is the good man that others believe him to be. A good man who did a bad thing.

Not because he intended to be bad or that he even contemplated how his actions violated his values. A good man that, as Paul wrote it in Ephesians 2:3, succumbed to his sinful nature (flesh) because we are by nature children of wrath.

When I read that passage now, I think of how the very things within our bodies (our flesh) that make us human can lead us to selfishly, almost blindly, go after what our emotions focus on if the focus is strong enough. I’ve seen enough Godly men and women destroy their lives by yielding to their flesh (brain chemicals and all the other things involved). Haven’t you?

Godly.

There are only two ways that I know of to overcome the natural. You do it either through natural means or supernatural means. If I have cancer and the physician’s employ surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or whatever else they have in their arsenal to kill those destructive cells and save my life, I happily embrace their use of nature to overcome nature. Like many other Christians, I see no lack of faith in taking an aspirin when my head hurts or downing an antihistamine during ragweed season. Similarly, there are rational, natural means for combating limerence. I use them every month and see amazing success.

Bring your spouse or twist the arm of someone you love to come to my weekend workshop and our record since 1999 proves we have a three out of four success rate in overcoming marriage problems – even limerence – and saving the marriage. Our system is scientifically valid. It’s a use of the natural.

But don’t for a moment forget that the supernatural can overcome the natural in the twinkling of an eye. The most amazing miracle in the Bible is that of conversion, a person yielding to God and being changed in ways that humans cannot begin to measure accurately. Therefore, I often pray for conversion for the converted when that converted person has yielded to the flesh, particularly in the ways of limerence. Though I understand that brain chemicals drive them and make them illogical, I also know that one can choose to walk by the Spirit or by the flesh. Yielding to the Spirit not only can change our directions, it can change our emotions, and, yes, even balance out our brain chemicals so that they don’t have as much influence over us.

Just as God heals some naturally and some supernaturally from their physical diseases, He can and will heal them either naturally or supernaturally from their “brain” and emotional misdirections such as limerence. The primary difference is that they have to yield to Him rather than to their flesh.

There is hope and there is a love that can develop for each other – the limerent spouse who strayed and the wounded spouse who stayed – that is so much more fulfilling and brings much more contentment and happiness than any intense short-lived love. Let us help if you will, but whatever you do, surrender to the Spirit and walk by His guidance rather than that of your own desires, no matter how strong those desires are.

 A Governor, a King, and the Tragedy of Adultery
Albert Mohler
Author, Speaker, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

The sad spectacle of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford continues to dominate the headlines as further revelations add one bizarre twist after another to the governor's tale of adultery, deceit, and the consequences of sin. With every passing day, pressure mounts for the governor to resign. As the revelations unfold, his leadership credibility is further destroyed. The people of South Carolina now look to their governor's mansion with a sense of dread and embarrassment.

Governor Sanford's admission of adultery came only after he was ambushed by the media after returning from a liaison in Argentina. In a rambling confession, the governor admitted to an ongoing relationship and an extramarital affair. While the media quickly turned to ask questions about money and the affairs of state, many others immediately thought of the governor's wife and four sons and the horrible pain and embarrassment they were now forced to bear.

In his original statement, Governor Sanford seemed to acknowledge the evil of his actions and, using biblical language, he appeared to understand the sinfulness of his adultery and betrayal. Yet, his statement was rambling and disconnected and, upon reflection, his words raised more questions than they answered. How did this affair happen? Was the relationship really over?

When Governor Sanford addressed his cabinet just a few days after his confession, he offered an apology to his colleagues and promised to "carry on" as governor. “I wanted generally to apologize to every one of you all, for letting you down,” he said. Of course, "letting you down" hardly covers the behavior that brought the governor to this admission. The governor violated his marital vows, engaged in an elaborate and sickening correspondence with his mistress, abandoned his responsibility as husband and father, and forfeited his right to lead the state which twice had elected him governor.

When speaking to the Cabinet, Governor Sanford referred to the biblical story of King David. The governor spoke of "the way in which he fell mightily -- he fell in very, very significant ways --- but then picked up the pieces and built from there." The governor also suggested that remaining in office would set a good example for his four boys, teaching them to persevere after a fall. The great shame is that the governor did not have his four boys in mind as he committed adultery.

Naturally, questions emerged related to the extent and duration of the extramarital affair. The governor's initial statement was unclear about several key issues. The days following would render the situation even more unclear.

Most recently, in a lengthy interview granted to the Associated Press, Governor Sanford added what the wire service called "explosive details" that made the picture all the more troubling. In the first place, the governor admitted to having "crossed the lines" with other women. "There were a handful of instances wherein I crossed the lines that I shouldn't have crossed as a married man, but never crossed the ultimate line," said the governor.

But the most troubling words from the governor concerned the nature of his relationship with Maria Belen Chapur, the woman with whom he had the affair. "This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story," he said. He added: "A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day."

Speaking, not of his wife, but of his mistress, Governor Sanford declared that he would go to his grave "knowing that I had met my soul mate."

Immediately following the governor's first admission, it seemed that he might survive politically and remain in office. The nation found itself once again in a debate about the relationship between personal virtue and public responsibility. This is a question that is particularly vexing to Christian conservatives, who must simultaneously understand that all are sinners in need of redemption and, at the same time, affirm that some sins disqualify individuals from public service and influence.

America's recent political history indicates that some politicians can survive revelations of adultery. While Christians should be less concerned about the political consequences and more concerned about the spiritual consequences, it is fair to observe that those politicians who survive more often than not do so when the adulterous relationship is clearly over and in the more distant past and when the politician has given himself in a demonstrable way to the priority of rebuilding his marriage and reestablishing credibility with his family.

Put simply, Governor Sanford's most recent comments point to a worst-case scenario. His words make clear that his heart is still inclined toward his mistress, and not his wife. With tragic candor, the governor has spoken of trying to fall back in love with his wife. He refers to his mistress, not his wife, as his soul mate, and speaks wistfully of the affair as "a love story at the end of the day."

Governor Sanford may cite King David, and he may even suffer the illusion that his response is similar to that of Israel's King. Nevertheless, the difference is clear. David's adultery was mixed even with murder, but his own acknowledgment of sin came in a flood of contrition, remorse, broken heartedness, and humility. David acknowledged the reality of his sin, expressed his hatred of the sin, and became a model for us all of repentance. Governor Sanford, on the other hand, demonstrates the audacity to speak wistfully of his sin, longingly of his lover, and romantically of his descent into unfaithfulness.

Governor Sanford is no King David, and the people of South Carolina -- as well as the watching world -- now observe the sad spectacle of a man who, while admitting to wrongdoing, shows no genuine repentance. As the Christian church has long recognized, true repentance is reflected in the "detestation of sin." This is a far cry from what we've heard from Governor Sanford.

If the governor is really serious about demonstrating character to his four sons, he should resign his office and give himself unreservedly to his wife and family. He must show his sons -- and all who have eyes to see -- how a man is led by the grace and mercy of God to hate his sin, rather than to love it. Until then, the governor must be understood to indulge himself in wistfulness for his affair and in a desperate determination to maintain his office. His remaining days in office are like a Greek tragedy unfolding into farce. The whole picture is just unspeakably sad.

The Case of the Fallen Governor
Chuck Colson
BreakPoint

June 26, 2009

In the past 24 hours since Governor Mark Sanford admitted his affair, I’ve run the gamut of emotions: sadness, depression, anger, and most of all, bewilderment.

The particular tragedy of Sanford is that he had been an outstanding governor. He’s attractive, engaging, and smart. He is an articulate and tenacious defender of family values. And he espoused the cause of Christ.

Now, his career lies on the ash heap of history. He’ll have to gracefully withdraw from political life and try to put his shattered marriage back together.

I mentioned sadness and depression. Sanford’s admission is simply the latest among pro-family conservative Christian politicians. Remember Senator David Vitter, involved with a prostitution service? Then just a week ago, Senator John Ensign of Nevada—a good friend I have known for years—he, too, admitted an affair.

And now Mark Sanford, probably the last man in American public life I would have expected to so incredibly disappoint us.

Sadness, depression—then there’s anger. These men dishonored their families and their offices and the Christian faith they profess.

But most of all, I am bewildered. Sanford had it all—a beautiful wife and family, high public office, and he was a viable candidate, perhaps, for President. Why would he throw it all away?

The answer came to me as I stewed over Sanford’s demise—and as I have reflected on my own life and my own failures, particularly before I knew the Lord.

We humans, you see, have an infinite capacity for self-rationalization. We reason that we can give in to those seemingly minor temptations—say an emotional attraction to a co-worker, or just one drink at the party—because we think we know the boundaries. We think our reason can keep us safe.

The problem is, as C. S. Lewis wrote in his timeless essay, “Men Without Chests,” that our reason is no match for the passions of the flesh. Lewis put it this way: Our stomachs (that is our appetites) can’t be controlled by our minds (that is, reason). Something else has to come in to play—and that is the spirited element, or our chests, as he called it. It’s our will being trained to do what is right and just.

Nearly every grave moral failure begins with a small sin. Because there comes a time, after we toy with sin, when one pull of the flesh causes us to cross the line, to disengage from reason, and to follow our appetites wherever they may lead.

And, I’m afraid, this is especially easy today. We’re told we can have it all, that we can be free to pursue any pleasure. Our wills are not trained to do what is good, but to do what pleases us. Many of us have become, as Lewis said, men without chests.

So, fellow Christians, don’t be self-righteous. Let the Sanford tragedy be a cautionary tale. Are you toying with sin? If so, for your self, your family, and your Lord—stop. Don’t put yourself in a position of compromise.

Instead, let us—you and I—prayerfully build up our chests and train our will that we might, by God’s grace and in fellowship with other believers who hold us accountable, not betray our Lord.

忠僕號 Doulos

 
以前去過忠僕號 (Doulos)一次 , 好像是幾年前吧? 那時候沒什麼印象..今次忠僕號又來了, 某天下午蹓出去逛一下, 發覺有很多我近來都打算買的書, 比我在網上訂便宜多了! 而且支持忠僕號的福音事工真的很有意義, 雖然我不敢(亦不能)拋開一切上船做事奉, 能夠給他們我小小的支持也滿高興的 ^^

「忠僕號」再度訪港

全球最古老的在航郵輪及最大型的流動書展

世界最古老的在航郵輪「忠僕號」﹙Doulos﹚建於1914年，自1978年起致力推廣全球教育，船上舉辦全球最大型的流動書展（面積約750平方米），至今已到訪超過100個國家，迎接了近2,100萬名訪客上船參觀。繼2007年告別香港後，「忠僕號」將會於2009年6月6日至7月4日期間再次訪港，並停泊於海港城海運大廈。「忠僕號」是途經台灣出發抵港，之後會到訪柬埔寨。  
 
「忠僕號」將會展出超過6,000種圖書，題材包羅萬有，包括體育、烹飪、教育及兒童書籍等。所有書籍均由社會熱心人士贊助或以折扣價錢從書商購入，書展的收入會用於資助「忠僕號」的營運及慈善服務經費。「忠僕號」上一次訪港是於2007年，同樣停泊於海港城海運碼頭，吸引超過十萬名市民上船參觀，引起廣泛討論。 
 
「忠僕號」上共有320位來自50多個國家的義工，當中包括3名來自來自中國及香港的義工，猶如一個小型聯合國。每位義工必須自行尋找贊助人資助他們的日常經費及經過一輪面試，才能成為船上的一份子。義工一般會被安排在船上服務2年，到訪不同國家時更會參與不同社區服務，而這次訪港籌募到的善款將會用作柬埔寨災後重建工作。 
 
為慶祝「忠僕號」今年踏入95歲，船上將會設「忠僕號」自1914年起的歷史回顧，亦有其他精采活動讓市民參與，包括國際音樂咖啡室、國際舞蹈咖啡室，市民亦可與船員見面詳談，分享彼此文化。而今次已經「忠僕號」第9次到訪香港，而「忠僕號」亦可能在未來數年之間正式退役，完成接近一個世紀的輝煌歷史。

陳奕迅SAME. WRONG SIN 音樂會

 

幸運地竟然有朋友給我新城陳奕迅音樂會的票。 本來我也好想去看， 不過信用卡換取的分數太高了！ 都沒可能得到！！ 雖然很感謝新城搞這個音樂會，可是每一次它的東西都有令人討厭的地方．． 就像什麼暖場表演，讓自己的DJ出來唱歌，不是一首兩首啊～～三首耶!! 早知道就不那麼早入場啦!!!

幸好陳奕迅一出場就把所有的不滿掃光了～～ 哼哼～ 這個音樂會叫 same. wrong sin 其實就是eason, swing和mr. 三個名字加起來。我很喜歡eason這個guru造型~~超帥!!!

入場時朋友說香港沒有比陳奕迅更好的歌手了...在張國榮之後...(我心裡當然是想著陳奕迅更好 哈哈~)

欣賞著演唱會的期間，突然想起朋友的說話。突然覺得陳奕迅和張國榮很像的，是當他用盡全力去演唱的時候，你不小心留意到的，是他頭頂上力爭上游卻又幽幽無力的．．．秀髮

不要誤會啊EASON～你有沒有頭髮我還是一樣愛你的！！ 呵呵～～
 

芒果拿破崙餅

一直都很想知道拿破崙餅是怎樣做的。
 
某天終於決定和liuliu去Jam Bakery學～那天只有我們兩個學生，老師Anita是位樣子有個性看起來很有taste的女生。
 
酥皮牛角包我以前有試過做，可惜沒有很酥。究竟專業人士是怎樣做的呢？
 
今天上課大約3小時，大部份時間都花在酥皮上。大塊牛油加上麵粉成為油皮；麵粉加些水成為水皮。將這兩團東西搓合，冷凍，分開，搓合，冷凍，分開，摺疊，冷凍，分開，摺疊，分開很多次之後，才可捍成薄皮拿去焗。感覺比做普通蛋糕花時間呢．．中間的忌廉加了吉士粉打起來就光吃都覺得很好吃．．不過心裡很罪過，因為感覺太肥了！！
 
嘿嘿～成功做出來的新鮮芒果拿破崙（不是我自己讚自己～）真的超好吃！！雖然好肥，我還是很高興的吃了一塊，呵呵～

Standing Strong

"If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."
 
—1 Corinthians 10:12–13
It's when we think we are standing strong that we may be most open to temptation. Why? Perhaps because we rely on our own strength at those times and not on the Lord. Verse 13 implies that we never really have any excuses. We will be tempted—everyone is—but God faithfully monitors it and shows us a way out. However, the trick is to look for that way out, which will happen only if we deliberately turn our attention from the temptation to the way out. What tempts you today? Where is the way out?

村 上 春 樹 《 1Q84 》 面 世 即 加 印 
 
　　(星島日報報道)日本名作家村上春樹時隔五年推出的新作《1Q84》，周三在東京市中心搶先發售，今日則正式在全國推出。此書由於預訂情況異常踴躍，未面世就先轟動，出版社宣布第一版加印十萬本。在東京發售時，書迷更大排長龍搶購。

　　六十歲的村上春樹的長篇小說《1Q84》共分兩冊。負責出版的新潮社原定第一冊初版發行二十萬本，第二冊發行十八萬本，但由於預訂讀者甚眾，在發售前宣布各加印五萬本。

　　在日本出版界，發售前追加印刷是極為特殊的事。一本書初版就發行二十萬本，也創下新潮社的單行本初版發行數的第二高紀錄。村上的新作，周三下午起在東京都中心區的大型書店開始出售後，書迷紛紛搶購。東京都新宿區
 
的紀伊國屋書店稱，中午入貨後，一放上架就「賣得像飛一樣」。日本其他地區將從周五起全面發售。

　　村上對這次推出的新小說內容事前完全保密，只公開書名及每冊售價是一千八百九十日圓（約一百五十港元）。村上本來就有很多書迷，這種極為特殊的市場推廣手法，據說有助提高讀者對這位日本著名作家新作的好奇感。

　　四十五歲的東京居民佐藤道代是村上的忠實書迷，他已買了村上的新作，談到村上不公開新作的內容，他說︰「我一點也不介意。我已等了他的新作很久，他的著作充滿人情味和智慧。」

　　《1Q84》與村上之前的很多著作相似，講述一個複雜和超現實的故事。故事在一男一女兩位主人翁之間穿插，兩位主角正互相尋覓對方。作者通過兩位主角的思想和經歷，包括謀殺和歷史事件，探索社會和情緒問題，例如異端宗教、暴力、家中人際關係和愛情。

　　村上出生於京都府，畢業於早稻田大學文學部演劇科，寫小說，翻譯美國文學，也從事散文創作。他經營過爵士咖啡館，一九七九年憑《聽風的歌》贏得群像新人文學獎而踏上文壇。他在一九八七年發表的《挪威的森林》成為暢銷書，上下兩冊銷路共達四百三十萬本，掀起「村上春樹旋風」，主要作品還包括《海邊的卡夫卡》等。

　　二○○六年，村上以對世界文學的貢獻獲頒「法蘭茲．卡夫卡獎」，他拿過的獎項還包括谷崎潤一郎獎和讀賣文學獎等。村上在國外的知名度也很高，被視為是有機會奪諾貝爾文學獎的日本作家。

村上春樹《1Q84》掀熱潮 急加印10萬冊 預約踴躍 日排長龍搶購

 (明報)2009年5月29日 星期五 05:10
【明報專訊】日本作家村上春樹時隔5年推出的長篇小說《1Q84》，千呼萬喚下終於推出。由於預約異常踴躍，未上市就先轟動。出版社已宣布將加印10萬本，昨天在東京首先推出後，書迷更是大排長龍搶購。

5年後再出長篇小說 上架即售罄

60歲的村上春樹的長篇小說新作《1Q84》共兩本。負責出版的新潮社，初版原定第一本發行20萬本，第二本發行18萬本，由於預約者眾，結果在上市前決定宣布各加印5萬本。上市前追加印刷，在日本出版界是極為罕有特殊的事。一本書初版就發行20萬本，也創下新潮社單行本初版發行數量第二高的紀錄。出版社發言人說﹕「這實在令人驚奇。人們都熱切渴望得到新書。」

村上的新作，昨午起在東京都中心區的大型書店開始出售，書迷在村上的新作正式上市後紛紛搶購。至於全國其他地區，將從今天起全面上市。日本共同社報道，位於東京都新宿區的紀伊國屋書店的新宿總店，昨天中午進貨《1Q84》後，一擺上架就售罄。位於千代田區的三省堂書店神保町總店，同樣在新書上架之後，收銀台前就排起了長龍。來到紀伊國屋書店購買村上新書的一位29歲女士說﹕「我看過村上所有作品，感覺這次和以前不同。下個月我要去法國，我還想帶去看。」

內容事前保密 讀者更好奇

村上對這次推出的新小說內容，事前完全保密，只出示書名及每冊各1890日圓（約154港元），村上原本書迷就很多，有書店便表示，這種極為特殊的手法，更有助於提高讀者對這位日本著名作家新作的好奇感。

村上不少作品，都流露對日本現實的關注。90年代初東京發生奧姆真理教的地鐵沙林毒氣襲擊，震驚世界，村上獨自訪問了62位受害者，寫了《地下鐵事件》；在《發條鳥年代記》中，則討論了二戰前日本關東軍侵佔中國東北的問題。

村上已故父親曾在1940年從軍參戰，村上直言父親曾跟他說過其二戰的故事。村上透露，今次出版的《1Q84》，會涉及到日本在二戰時的侵略問題和可悲戰敗。美聯社記者昨披露，「新書主要由一男一女的故事交錯鋪陳，兩人都在歇力尋找對方；透過他們的思想和經歷，包括謀殺和歷史，嘗試探討諸如教派信仰、暴力、家庭關係和愛等社會和情感題材」。

對於《1Q84》這個帶點古怪神秘的書名，村上坦言這本書有向喬治奧維爾的《1984》致敬的意思。他道﹕「奧維爾寫《1984》是向前看，但在我這本小說裏剛好相反。我看過去，但仍會看到未來。」

不想回憶 未敢忘記

20年前 我也還是年紀輕輕
第一次認識"戒嚴"這個名詞
第一次看到那麼震撼人心的場面
第一次 認真想像 民主的重要
流過淚 遊過行

 

20年後 雖然 我沒有去維園
從電視上看到那些令人心痛的舊畫面
朋友在聊天 我的眼睛沒法離開
那些 我一度遺忘了的 痛

我想起了
"媽, 我餓了, 可是我吃不下"

還有, 當年北京的天空

未被工業污染的天空

很蔚藍

大槪...

努力了這麼久也沒什麼改變的話

大槪
 
放棄
 
才是唯一的出路

Direct my steps

나의 행보를 주의 말씀에 굳게 세우시고 아무 죄악이 나를 주장치 못하게 하소서 - 시편 119:133 
 
“ Direct my steps by Your Word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. —Psalm 119:133 ”

Lord, please guard my troubled soul

Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you? If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house. Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.
<<1 Corinthians 3:17-19>>

Help me to guard my troubled soul
By constant, active self-control.
Clean up my thought, my speech, my play;
Lord, keep me pure from day to day.

If you’re not on guard against evil you’ll be influenced by evil.

說的真好...



女人會撒嬌，天下無難事？ from http://www.wretch.cc/blog/illyqueen/12403848
 
老實說，我是一個很不會撒嬌的女生。
 
我一直覺得我是個生錯性別的女生，我是在這一兩年才慢慢開始學會撒嬌，才「敢」撒嬌的。怎麼說我現在才「敢」撒嬌呢？因為我從小到大就不是一個會撒嬌的女孩。即使我很想撒嬌，我都會怕丟臉、怕尷尬、怕噁心，而且我潛意識以為愛撒嬌就是一種「我很弱、我很笨、我很沒用」的表現，這讓我覺得非常沒面子，雖然我長的很女性化，但我骨子裡其實是個鐵錚錚的漢子啊！（果然真的生錯性別）
 
我的觀察發現，女人談戀愛、和異性互動的方式、喜歡的對象類型，受家庭教育的影響很大。從小備受寵愛、很得父母疼的女生，長大都很會撒嬌，因為他們不管幾歲還是會一樣跟父母撒嬌。我很羨慕有些女生可以跟爸媽撒嬌就可以有更多零用錢、買包包、請爸媽來接送，但我個性卻是很窮的時候媽媽要塞錢給我，我硬要說：「我不缺錢啦！」（很man），買包包給媽媽：「媽，這個包你拿去幫我用一用啦！」（很man）從小爸媽從來沒有接送過我，等我學會開車後：「沒關係，我等一下自己開車去機場！」（依然很man）
 
於是這種很man的與父母互動關係，就成了與男友的互動關係。撒嬌的女生期望男友以父母對待她的方式照顧她，而我依然過著很man的人生，愛面子硬要請男友吃大餐，就算薪水低省吃儉用也要送男友好禮物，而且以前每次約會幾乎都是我在接送男生，即使交往有車的男友，我也常很man的說：「我去載你！」
 
因為從小就是個獨立的鑰匙兒童，要自己吃飯、自己唸書、自己當家長簽聯絡簿，我的父母從沒有幫我做過任何一樣功課。我知道什麼都要靠自己，生氣和哭都不能解決任何問題，所以我很能忍耐和隱藏自己的情緒。於是我長大後，談戀愛時我很少會生氣、會哭、會吵架、會發脾氣，我總是告訴自己要當個成熟懂事、識大體、 EQ高、帶的出場、受人歡迎的好女友。但是我努力當個好女友，卻不代表我的感情運也會好。
 
有一次和幾個女生聊天，聊到了幸福的秘訣，其中一位才剛新婚，人人稱羨、老公超疼的女生說到，她老公會疼她，因為她很會撒嬌也很會哭。聽到的當時，我大大的吃了一驚，難道是我的人生走錯了路嗎？
 
回首我過去的感情路，我因為怕自己太黏、自以為體貼的給對方空間、尊重他與前女友的友誼，所以被劈腿。我因為怕自己造成對方的負擔、什麼事都說：「沒關係我來就好。」，給對方最大的便利，最後男友說我不需要他。我因為不敢發脾氣、不吵不鬧、不會爭風吃醋，男人說我沒那麼在乎他。我因為總是耍man不會裝笨，不敢在男友面前大哭只敢自己默默擦眼淚，愛裝沒事、太獨立，最後男生總是會去喜歡一個「沒有他就不能活」的，愛哭的女生，而不是我這種「沒有他也可以活的很好」的，很man的女生。
 
我的人生真的走錯了路嗎？
 
難道女人真的只要會撒嬌就能幸福美滿，天下無難事？
 
坊間有些教導女人撒嬌的兩性書籍，老實說，我還真同意「男生愛女生撒嬌」這一回事，老實說，私底下我也是個會撒嬌的人，只是因為我的內心還是一個鐵錚錚的漢子，所以我不喜歡一天到晚表演給別人看，同樣的，我也很不習慣女生會在眾人面前撒嬌用童音讓大家雞皮疙瘩掉滿地。X！幾歲了裝什麼嬰兒啊！
 
記得有一次有個資深的記者採訪我，訪問完後他問我：「妳是不是家裡做生意？妳是家中的長女是吧？」我一驚：「妳怎麼知道，我不只是長女，我還是長孫耶！」他說他閱人無數，只要個性不怕生、很懂得和人溝通、很會說話的，通常家裡是做生意，懂得照顧別人注意別人缺什麼的，通常是家裡的老大。
 
可能是我的成長經驗，讓我太過於壓抑自己的情緒，太過害怕向別人尋求幫助、向別人示弱，太缺乏跟父母撒嬌的經驗，太害羞跟男友表達自己的任性，太怕自己成為一個不懂事的女人，而給自己太多的包袱。但，其實很多時候，我也只不過是個一般的小女孩，我也很想有時候不聰明、不懂事、耍任性。
 
老實說，我也會撒嬌。但更老實說，很多時候我自己撒嬌的時候，我都會覺得：「天啊！這樣會不會太噁心了？」
 
但是換個角度想，會撒嬌等於幸福的理論，其實我認為真正幸福的不止是撒嬌這種嘴甜的行為而已，而是當一個體貼個性好，樂觀又討人喜歡的女人。要說會撒嬌的女人得人疼，其實不如說「懂得說話的女人得人愛」，撒嬌是說話方法的一種，我覺得能夠經營一段幸福的婚姻，不止是會說話，也是要有好個性。
 
如果妳也跟我一樣，是個很man的女人，或許有時也要讓對方瞭解妳需要他的地方。即使內心是個鐵錚錚的漢子如我，也是有小女孩的另一面。很多時候，讓更多人瞭解你脆弱又柔軟的另一面，也無妨。這也是我自己不斷在學習的功課，但我只能對一個人撒嬌，除此之外對其他人，我依然還是很man。
 
當你很想跟對方說：「我真的很想你！」卻害怕自己太噁心、太肉麻而作罷，但事實上，說不定對方很希望聽到你這麼跟他說。肉麻一下，又何妨？
 
我想，撒嬌就是女人最大的武器吧！
 
但是，撒嬌的可愛和不可愛，能獲得的幸福與不幸福，
 
需要的是更多的智慧啊！

我坐在床前 望著窗外 回憶滿天
生命是華麗錯覺 時間是賊 偷走一切
七歲的那一年 抓住那隻蟬 以為能抓住夏天
十七歲的那年 吻過他的臉 就以為和他能永遠

有沒有那麼一種永遠 永遠不改變 擁抱過的美麗都 再也不破碎
讓險峻歲月不能在臉上撒野 讓生離和死別都遙遠
有誰能聽見

我坐在床前 轉過頭看 誰在沈睡
那一張蒼老的臉 好像是我 緊閉雙眼
曾經是愛我的 和我深愛的 都圍繞在我身邊
帶不走的那些 遺憾和眷戀 就化成最後一滴淚

有沒有那麼一滴眼淚 能洗掉後悔 化成大雨降落在 回不去的街
再給我一次機會 將故事改寫 還欠了他一生的 一句抱歉

有沒有那麼一個世界 永遠不天黑 星星太陽萬物都 聽我的指揮
月亮不忙著圓缺 春天不走遠 樹梢緊緊擁抱著樹葉
有誰能聽見

耳際 眼前 此生重演 是我來自漆黑 而又回歸漆黑
人間 瞬間 天地之間 下次我 又是誰

有沒有那麼一朵玫瑰 永遠不凋謝 永遠驕傲和完美 永遠不妥協
為何人生最後會像一張紙屑 還不如一片花瓣曾經鮮豔

有沒有那麼一張書籤 停止那一天 最單純的笑臉和 最美那一年
書包裡面裝滿了蛋糕和汽水 雙眼只有無猜和無邪 讓我們無法無天

有沒有那麼一首詩篇 找不到句點 青春永遠定居在 我們的歲月
男孩和女孩都有吉他和舞鞋 笑忘人間的苦痛 只有甜美

有沒有那麼一個明天 重頭活一遍 讓我再次感受曾 揮霍的昨天
無論生存或生活 我都不浪費 不讓故事這麼的後悔
有誰能聽見 我不要告別

我坐在床前 看著指尖 已經如煙

櫻花茶

昨天逛city super的時候看到這個櫻花茶
好像很可愛的樣子 衝動的買了...($50才6包好貴喔)
今天泡來喝喝看 咳咳.....好怪的味道哩.....
 

 
這個故事教訓你:
1. 外表是不可靠的!
2. 衝動往往令人後悔不已!!

 

我愛你 你咪理 死未

 
 
前晚去了看風車草劇團的《我愛你 你咪理 死未》
本來是衝著梁祖堯和林二汶去看的
哇~怪不得之重演又重演啦
全無冷場 有笑有淚 還有點啟發性
梁祖堯的演技真的好得沒話說 林二小姐的聲音真的很動聽
當然 邵美君和湯駿業 都令人喜出望外
 
還有少量門票...不看走寶喔!!

現在的我是...
 
有時好憤怒
有時好傷心
有時好自怨
有時好積極
 
簡直精神分裂
 
朋友的msn名這樣寫:
  
感激傷害你的人，因為他磨練了你的心態。
感激絆倒你的人，因為他強化了你的雙腿。
感激遺棄你的人，因為他教會了你該獨立。
感激欺騙你的人，因為他增進了你的智慧。
凡事學會感激，感激一切使你成長的人。

芝士餅星星 Cheesy Star

 
所以說nigella的食譜真的好~ 好吃又容易做
這個餅餅充滿芝士味而且很鬆脆!
這個本來叫cheesy feet 不過我沒有腳型的餅模所以就用了星星啦
 
材料
200g 車打芝士 (刨絲)
50g 軟牛油
100g 麵粉
1/2 茶匙泡打粉
 
約做出30片餅乾
METHOD
  
1.    Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200°C.
2.    Put all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until the dough comes together. Just be patient: it will happen, I promise you. Form into a fat disc, wrap in clingfilm and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
3.    Roll out the dough on a floury surface to roughly 3mm in thickness, and cut out your feet with your cutters. You can keep re-rolling this dough and cutting out feet until it is all used up.
4.    Put them on to a lined baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10 minutes for the smaller feet, and 12 minutes for the bigger feet (see the photograph).
5.    The biscuits will continue to crisp up as they cool on a rack, so take them out when they’re still a little soft in the middle.

巨型水舞擱淺!!!

今天早上開了一個無聊頂透的會, 不過也因為多得這個會
有同事發現沙灘擱淺了一隻超巨型的水舞!!!

它應該是因為今早水退才不幸地擱淺了吧
我們想可能它還未死, 所以兩位壯丁就合力把它送回去裡去
它呆了一陣, 漸漸地就開始飽滿起來, 因為之前它在沙灘乾了不少水份吧 !!!
看起來真像一隻大水餃 XDDDD
 
這麼大的水舞我還是第一次見~~希望它回海裡快快樂樂的生活吧~~~
