Spiritual food increases throughout ages

Religion & Ethics News Weekly has this very interesting piece which says food served to Jesus and disciples increase over time. Duh! What do you know, Jesus is real after all.

" Two scholars compared artistic depictions of the Last Supper and found that the portions served to Jesus and the apostles became larger and larger over time."

This will be how I teach my children Pi

This is a 4 year old song, but I enjoy it so much.

What happen when we get older

Everyone gets younger once in a while. For me, I have to stay young most of the time. Literally. I mean, I try to be serious and all, and behave like an adult. But man, how can I?

Despite of all those unforgiving white hairs that start to crawl on my temple, my companions refuse to let me grow old.

We scribble on empty paper together, pretending to draw a better world, while trying to guess what the others try to express. We laugh at that ugly monster, we love it, and then we frame it up. It becomes the painting of the house, for that week.

There is no time for tiring affairs, as if we fear that the whole world would be gone in split seconds. Why would we waste time on other love when you know you already own it all.

They always are news of the day, there for you to immerse yourself into a kind of love that you wouldn't want to call it quit. And you know, no others can come between.

How to know such love exist, and last forever? When you wouldn't want another, and you wouldn't want to exchange it even for heaven.

It becomes so sad when you come to think about there is still so much to give, and wanted to give again. Every year we were refresh, knowing that there is another year to give. We ask to let us give, we want to.

You have only one family in a life time. Like life, there is no turning back. Make it count and worthwhile. We pray for your well being. Godspeed, for hope, for you all.

夜观，十月围城

我不是很喜欢鲁迅，但喜欢他的文学集。尤其是那篇“这样的战士”，不可言欲的悲呛，不能胜而又不得不面对的局，要用几滴墨才能点得清楚。我时时在想，如果鲁迅生在此时，又是一位影评，不知他会对现在的第八艺术作出什么评论。

我有时爱用直觉去衡量一部电影的好坏。我不否认，“十月围城”听起来颇有韵味，之中让人期待有兵豪马壯之景，千刀万剑交叉之声。我相当喜欢这样的剧名，命名者有艺术家的文思，能触动爱电影者的遐想。不错。

英文名“Bodyguards And Assassins"却马马虎虎。让人觉得不爽，好像是找不到好名，随便便阿猫阿狗的凑上了。敢情是觉得这部戏，反正洋人也看不懂。也不用多废唇舌，对牛谈琴。

不知道是不是有意，编剧好像故意舍孙中山这个名，戏里由始至终，竟只有孙文。哈！中山没了，变成了文皱皱的孙文，好像有点含沙射影。那为什么不用孙逸仙呢？我可觉得这是个更好的选择。

十月围城算是部相当严肃的戏吧？可是为什么当我看见满脸胡子的黎明，躺在那里，木然的掉下泪时，却忍不住的笑了？

王学圻在戏中给我留下相当深刻的印象，尤其是他重复梁家辉话的那幕，结结巴巴，充分的表现出市侩了数十年的商人，初明大义时，尚不知如何以口齿表达的状况。演技到足了家，这实在是个非常适合他的角色。他，是这部戏的焦点。

戏里不够好的地方，莫过于甄子丹和戏里女儿的那场，小女孩天真，害臊的表情自然，眼光不自然不用说，谁都知道要让小孩表演有多困难。甄子丹没达到当一位父亲第一次认识女儿，但又想到不久可能就要永远分离，终于了解到当父情的意义，时候不多了。好。。好像对他有点太难了。甄子丹要演真正感情戏恐怕还需一段时候。

十月围城令人期待高，却有点漏气。三颗半星，看不看由你。

我是唯一的神

前一阵子，新加坡灯塔教会资深牧师陈顺平诋毁佛教及道教，闹起一阵风风雨雨。新加坡的网路世界也一阵风波。曾有朋友向我发问，这是不是我国建国几十年宗教和谐终止的开端。我观查了好些日子，心中给了朋友这些定论，

新加坡人不愿，不敢也不会掀起这样的事件。不愿者，生活工作已够折腾了，哪有余力管这类谁是真正的宗教的事。这里赚钱是第一。不敢者，我不敢言也。不会者有如父母重小惯坏，根本不知切身为何物，如何惹尘埃呢？再来，新加坡网路的各个主力都静观其变，也是不愿，不敢也不会涉足。连最爱开玩笑的也没有说一句幽默话。有股倚天不出，谁与争锋的味道。

话外。

其实神是三位一体，唯一不变，或满天神佛？死了的没回报，活着的没看到，是怎么也说不清的。

不过，

有一位华人的神，我肯定他的存在。大家不可不知。

小孩和老人们尤为熟识。我记得小时候常听到外公喃喃自语，不停的重复‘无头神，无头神’。心里以为，整天如念咒般一直念个不停，这个，不，这位神肯定非常的灵光。有求必应，无所不能。后来外公逐渐失去记忆力，才了解无头神的确是法力无边。这种思想，根深蒂固的种在我的脑海里。

我甚至又点怀疑，新加坡人是不是惹上了无头神。话说我一位会计师朋友，常跟我唱道他那行需要记性有多好多好。我曾目睹他很快就忘了几分钟前的事。小事不说。他会一次又一次的借钱给自己知道不会还钱的人，好心提醒他，他还是浑浑噩噩，令我涕笑皆非。无头神在这位‘仁’兄身上的法术，可灵验的很！

我 也发现一点，西方国家的人们，记性可好。他们常爱拿历史出来做比较。某某事好像又再重蹈覆辙，必须警戒，某某人好像在做某某历史人物做过的事，就批判他一 下。等等，等等的。新加坡人，今天新闻的头条，明天就忘了。水电费稍涨价，公共交通费无理调整，甚至于什么灾难，下个月拿薪金时，大选来时，通通忘得一干 二净。不在乎，不愿记，实在有点阿Ｑ～！

所以我说，无头神是这里最重要的神。我也要去参拜参拜一下。

An anti teenage pregnancy video banned in Hong Kong

I have to be the last Chinese to know about this video. Very cim video, allow me to translate. The decease is the unborn, which is represented by a very, trust me on this, very clear ultra sound photo. Teens in school uniform come to pay their respect to it, *ahem* Not It. Grandparent in grave look, everyone looks grave in fact.

The best part, a nurse as a 'Baek Kim' collector, make sense, without teenage pregnancy most of them will be out of job!

All of Chinese taboo in one video, this will be ban in Singapore too. Watch it here.

懒散的老虎

新加坡的华人新年是我见过全球中最不起劲的农历新年。今年尤为什。小弟我虽见识不广，但也敢说言若不中亦不远也！

就在除夕的那一晚，小弟与办工室里半数以上的员工正在开夜班。小我什少迟班，稍稍有点纳罕。就在只闻轻音乐，一片肃穆的气份中，滴滴答答的打字键盘之间，有位同事开口问：“喂！你也在准备明天的工作吗？”

“能准备明天工作的人有福了。我连今天的事都做不完，就快睡着了。”我不经意的回答，心里面滴沽，你明天还有工作，哇！最佳员工奖的竞争可不少。我可无缘问津。恰好此时窗外放起了烟火，使大家振奋了一下。

不过那段灿烂的光辉，只有五分钟，懒散的很。

我为了谐调自已那沮丧的意志，把思路转到最无聊的事上－－新闻，企图转移注意力。结果反而想起了某某部长宣布虎年不会有全国大选的消息。

照呀！非常的懒散。

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

午夜时回到家里，拿起我冷落了一整天的手机瞧一瞧。哦，今年只有一则祝愿我新年快乐的简讯。朋友也淡忘了。

友情也懒洋洋了。

年已过了几天，在这里还是要祝愿大家新年快乐，万事胜意。

我好像也懒了一些。

在快乐的那一边

我非常享受双脚踏在沙滩上，当海水轻轻卷走脚下细沙的感觉。尽管脚底的皮那么厚，那一种如此实在，又不能形容的磨擦感还是能传到脑中枢。点滴点滴的，把你带入地底。那是一种不会过期的幸福感觉，我可以重复了又重复，不会感到厌倦。

古哲学家所形容的“我思故我在”(I Think Therefore I am)也不过如此。

一本我读过的哲学书上写到。。。

爱是一种一成不变的感觉，它无须革命，也不用升华。无论你如何存取，它不增不减，一生也用之不尽。

书上也说，凡是真的东西，都有这种特性。它是绝对，唯一而且不变的。

以美来说吧，人类的审美观古今不一，但数千年来，我们会不会觉得彩虹的美过时了呢？可能我应该对我的孩子们说，雀鸟一成不变了几千年，它的可爱，早就已经不可爱了。不知到对他们有没有说服力？

人至从“我思故我在”以来就追求幸福。就不知幸福还是幸福吗？还是幸福就是，我能做到经典上说的每一个字。

快乐比较容易吧。一首好听的歌，一部好看的戏，几个要好的朋友，就能快乐了好久好久。把很多很多好久的快乐串起来，就能快乐一段好长地时间。

你真的还需要幸福吗？

每天，只要选择在快乐的那一边，让快乐多一点不就好了吗。

All Singaporean's geek

I am by definition not a geek. The pre-acquisition of a Singaporean geek is you must at least own a iPhone 3Gs. I carry a traditional Nokia.

Even the cleaner who work at our HDB block owns one. It doesn't matter if you know only 2 buttons, and only listen to mp3 on your phone. Owning a Apple iPhone product is a stylish thing to do this day.

Actually Singaporean geekdom kinda piss me off. Few days ago my friend show off his new Nexus One to us. After playing with the naughty little track ball I scrutinize this still in beta beautiful handset, Only to realize that my fingers still linger with that sensation.

I swear to kill the geek in me that night. I cannot find him at home.

I fire up my Firefox this morning to find it flooded by the word 'iPad'. I am sure my face blushes by that Sexy-naughty name. Unaware that it was not a lady's product, I scramble to close my browser. Later, I was told that it is Apple new tablet PC which seem to be the only kind of worthy news my tech friend is reading then.

Question remains, the day that it is launch in Singapore.

I can imagine everyone showing off their iPad on public transport, in shopping mall and everywhere.

The news headline reads, "Do you have your own iPad?"

The sound of people tabbing their iPad while doing business in the toilet....

I think I will avoid Facebook for a while, else I see photo of iPad on every single click.

That will be a horror..

Sex. is the number one act that can save humanity

When I first hear the news, I thought I heard wrongly. Singapore Ministry of Health early secure their worker early to encourage them to have sex, ahm.. to make more baby for the country. The first thought that comes to my mind was, man! why Ministry of Health? It should be HDB, even Singapore Town Council.

Let me explain a bit...

You see, Singaporean are strategically placed, sorry, most of us live in a high rise flat built by our government. Or many of us know it as Housing Development Board(HDB) flat. They don't turn off the light. Never. Not at Earth most desperate hour. Nay.

They also installed CCTV at every lift of HDB. I personally believe my country has the most CCTV per square feet in the World.

I talk too much off topic. Nevermind.

After some desperate Google I finally come to my senses, disappointingly inform wife that it was actually a far off eastern peninsula that have this incentive. We can only hope, and maybe learn to master a foreign tongue to enjoy it. Alas! We cannot.
We are not catching up but our age are. I mean we have 3 children, but our circle of friends, have an average of 4 per family. Joke aside, in fact I thought our gahmen was kidding when they first announce to give away baby bonuses to encourage sexual.. making baby. We just couldn't see the issue, and we still don't.

Why oh why Singaporean refuses to make baby. Or even get married.

I remember a famous man, I can't remember who, told me that humanity would perish in a 100 years if everyone refuses to make baby.

I like to close this article here and turn off our light early. We would like to have another baby.

愁伤

我回想起一段往事。

有一次我一面吹着口哨，一面在抄写一篇文章。妻略带玩笑的望着我：“今天心情不错嘛！”　我停下笔来，正色的看着她：“只有心情好才能吹口哨吗？难到我不能吹悲伤的乐曲吗？你没听过夜行人的口哨吗？”　我不懂乐器，所以以口哨代替，舒发一下情怀。

刚好电视正播‘当我们同在一起’大结局。哦，是幸福美满大团圆。我喃喃：“这样的剧情不好，没有什么看头，收视率不会有突破。要煽情，要悲情一点。才会引出话题。”妻当然不满，冷水来啦：“你怎回事！是不是要看到全部死光了你才高兴。”我拿出‘出路’与‘黄金路’这两部戏撑腰。不过，我为什么总学不精千万不能和女人斗嘴，尤其是当这女人是你太太时。呵呵。

四十出头了。生活的奇迹不尽也少了很多，凡事也取实踏实了一些。

近来家里几番起落，也稍稍的给我们多添了几度愁思。当我望着镜子时，发现几根银丝已静悄悄探出头来。

我好像听到岁月的嘲弄。

你。看你还能顽皮多久。
