兒歌精選：I Wanna Be Free

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.

I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh

I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.

I wanna be free,
Like the warm september wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free

事恆角度

哲道行者李天命說過：「東西可毁，過程不毁；物件無常，事件恆常。」

這幾天充滿「離愁別緒」： 在家工作了兩年半的傭人今天last day， 自己在工作了兩年半的地方也在今個星期last day， 即將離開一班合作了很久的同事。 驟眼看來， 幾經辛苦建立了的sales team， 轉眼將會瓦解， 很多東西會推倒從來， 我在公司的足印很快會被時間沖淡， 直至了無痕跡。對於大小離別， 已比從前習慣， 而根據事恆角度， 我在這兩年多所發生過的「事件」， 早以構成愛恩斯坦所說的「字宙時空四維連續統」的一部份組件...

推而廣之，不只所謂「功業」，「如浮雲的富貴」可以轉眼成空，即使一生一世的親情愛情，也會隨著（任何一方）生命的終結而被迫失去。但不管怎樣，和至愛親朋所經歷的一切生活點滴，也已經構成宇宙組件的一部份。佛家強調一切(物件/因緣)都是「空」的，都是鏡花水月。我不信佛而信基督，相信一切事件都已存在上帝心裡...


「此生之物雖滅，此生之事永恆。」

「活過，愛過... 不枉此生，藏於永恆。」

-- 《哲道行者》

In my life - The Beatles

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more

In my life I'll love you more

不再英雄的Mariah Carey

一直都非常喜歡貼在上一篇Hero那一段經典的Mariah Carey live (1993 concert at Proctor Theatre)。 當年的Mariah Carey是那麼漂亮, 動人, 這次演出更是歌唱演繹的極致, 她的表情, 她的舉手投足, 聲線, 氣量, 技巧, 感染力, 那份完全的投入，是那麼「人歌合人」! 看著她手握小拳頭，再隨著音樂輕輕左右擺動，美麗之中隱透出一股英氣。真的感覺到她在「唱」歌，完全地「Manage」著整首歌曲。

可惜的是，往後的Mariah Carey雖然很紅，卻失去了當年那份風采，還不時走一下性感肉彈路線(雖然我也很受落^^)。看最新翻唱Hero，她只是不斷賣弄技巧，當年那股英氣卻已盪然無存。

Hero

每次新聞報導消防員殉職，都會感到一份帶著敬意的難過。

傑佬面對著火場，他一定知道裡面很危險，一定有死亡的風險，相信進入火場那一刻已超越「工作」的層次。

這就是強者，這就是英雄。



Mariah Carey - Hero (Official Music Video) - Watch more funny videos here


There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road when you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

oh, ohhh,Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you.

再跑

今早再跑，更改數息的方法，改為１呼１吸６閉氣，情況比昨天有所改進，但仍然覺得很困難，所以跑的路程和時間少了。完成後再做25下Push Up，PSA休息一天。

「律政佬」那天說，他不喜歡做gym那種華而不實的運動，他不是要「谷」肌肉或者是將體能推至極限，而是透過長期的耐力訓練，使自己慢慢變強，那種強不是璀谷出來的，而是「本來」就是這樣。

數息

今朝大清早跑步，嘗試用「律政佬」教的跑步方法，就是碎步和數息。

碎步是指步幅細，步速快，很簡單。數息是指高度注意呼吸，一步一下，吸2下，呼6-8下。開始以為不難，誰知一跑才發現極難！首先心肺真的不太強，根本不夠氣！由一開始的吸２呼８改為吸２呼６，還是不太可以，而且跑到一段時間，數息和步伐不一致，令思想和氣息太亂！結果真的不太順利。返到公司留言給律政佬，很快收到回覆，在此記低：

你未掌握到呼吸, 都可跑到40分鐘, 其實體能已經好好. 你高挑身型, 掌握好呼吸, 一定可以跑得更好.又係果句, 聽落好簡單, 未經練習, 大部份人一路跑一路數息, 無幾耐都會數到亂哂. 數息無秘密, 純屬意志訓練, 一種mental discipline. 總之吸足氣, 然後就數6至8步, 然後先好呼氣. 亂左唔好理, 又吸足氣重新再來. 我依家練跑, 每次吸足氣, 數20步, 先換氣一次架. 所以, 我就算同你一樣跑40分鐘, 我吸氣次數會少你好多, 心肺內臟無咁易攰.

Mental discipline, 除了靠意志集中之外, 另一樣要留意, 就是理智上要不怕閉氣. 其實吸足氣的話, 肺內氧氣絕對可以支持你細步去跑6至8步, 先去換氣一次. 未經鍛練, 你身體的本能反應是每下吸氣, 並不習慣閉氣活動. 所以稍稍閉氣, 你潛意識會有點驚, 會亂, 因為這是身體的新體驗. Over-breathing, 其實會增加心肺負荷, 叫人更快覺得攰. 吸足氣, 不要急於換氣, 反而會越跑越舒服. 所以, 你要努力控制這想每下吸氣的本能, 要同自己講, 吸足一啖氣, 即使稍稍閉氣, 無可能跑唔到6至8下細步. 經過訓練, 你身體就會有信心稍稍閉氣, 不再急於換氣. 習慣了6至8步換氣一次, 慢慢, 可以試8-10, 10-12…, 你心肺功能就會一路提升.

上次第一次見面，他還送了一本書給我，是關於攀山的《眾神的山嶺》，令我很意外！
一個很特別的人。

Te Quiero Dijiste - Nat King Cole

今早返工，經過太古城的Cafe Habitu，竟然聽到這首Nat King Cole！

我郁故我在

電車男, 金管局高層, 律政署律師, iPhone App Provider老闆, IT/電訊界才俊(^^),..在一家又臭又髒但幾好食的潮州打冷店閣樓同坐一桌, 品靚紅酒, 吃鵝片鹵肉, 再喝啤酒.. 言談甚歡, 暢快暢快!

一班麻甩佬坐埋最容易齋吹和空想, 這一班卻有點不同, 他們都是行者. 全晚最記得是金管佬提出"我郁故我在", 比笛卡兒的"我思故我在"緊要... 非常同意!
