話別說得太早

以前總是對書店裡滿坑的商業工具書感到不屑,現在卻發現確實有此需求
以前總是覺得老闆沒方向沒方法,現在卻害怕自己就是那個豬頭
以前壓跟沒想到會在對岸工作,現在卻一做就三年,三年之後恐怕還有三年

Acid in the movies


Acid in the movie give a way out for our curiosity about what it feels like taking the drugs. Through the visual effect, we can see the distortion and illusion. That's why I always like seeing this kind of movie, to free my imagination and escape from the normal boring world.

Lots of movies talking about rock'n'roll, and of course, acid. Transpotting is the one, Requiem For A Dream is another, and Taking Woodstock.

The first one is my favorite of all time, not only because of the director Danny Boyle and the actor Ewan McGregor, but because of the positive side at the end of the movie. It gives hopes to every one who is not going upward then. Besides, the match of heroin overdose and the tune of Perfect Day in the movie is the classic. I always feel happy after seeing Transpotting. No special reason, it can arouse my positive thinking when I'm down.

If Transpotting is positive, then Requiem For A Dream is negative. It talks about addicted young people doing illegal trade for more heroin. In the end, the forearm of role is cut for saving his life. And all these are caused by drugs. I think this movie is kind of frightening and warning people don't do drugs. But I have to say that the theme tune by Paul Oakenfold is awesome.

Compared to the other two, Taking Woodstock is neither positive or negative. It just talks about music, peace, ideal and love. Again, the movie gives me a way out of the current competitive capital life. I think the peace in the movie is so good, but on the other hand, I also doubt that the so called peace is another illusion of LSD. Anyways, the movie is worth to see in the theater, if you're a music lover.

R.I.P

今天不是個什麼特別的日子,與往常無特別目的的週日一般,跳上的士之後,隨手掏出iPod希望隔絕車上吵雜的廣播。
開始無甚異狀,但在第一首歌即將播畢之時,螢幕突然開始閃爍了起來。
下一秒,她已經不聽任何使喚,就這樣突如其來,毫無預警地結束她三年來的服務

R.I.P, my dear nano

早到的鳥兒有貴賓室

做為台北香港航班經濟艙的常客,平常是沒有機會享用航空公司的貴賓室。
不過今天運氣不錯,因為預定的班機爆滿,
航空公司建議更換到下一航班並免費升級到商務艙,
同時附帶貴賓室badge以消磨等候時間。
在不趕時間的前提下我當然是接受航空公司的美意。

城市鄉八佬的商務艙首發,GO!


-後記-
商務艙比起經濟艙還真是舒服許多
足夠的扶手跟腿伸展空間,讓做飛機不再像是被綁在椅子上一般
要不是航程短,不然舒適的差異程度會更多

失落感

隨著累積的返台次數增多,每次回來的失落感卻越來越大
轉眼間,在對岸工作也滿一年。這一年之中,每當對生活環境有何不滿之處,
心中總是以台灣作為自我安慰的最後一道防線。
然而這道防線,卻隨著每次返台而不斷崩解

寶島對於我的意義,似乎是越來越模糊
家對於我的意義,也只是越來越平淡

什麼都可以偷,什麼都不奇怪

在這裡,搶劫偷竊雖然時有所聞,但畢竟在這裡的時間長了,聽聞的軼事多了
多數人早有防偷防搶的教戰守則,但今天發生在我身上的事還是令我開了眼界。
原來,不只是手機,連手機號碼都是竊賊的目標


究竟要如何偷號碼,這就不得不提到這裡的手機通話費的付費方式,
我想是因為中國移動人口多,多數內地人前往東南沿海謀生,這些人口住址可能隨時變動,
導致電信公司無法以帳單寄送的方式按月收取話費。衍生而出的方法,便是預付卡機制,
唯有預先充值才能正常發話受話。

每位新號碼申請人都會獲得一組電話密碼,作為日後服務變更的依據。不論是掛失,換卡都需要這組電話密碼作為身分辨認的依據。
於是乎,竊賊只要想辦法獲取電話密碼,便能讓你手上的sim卡失效,然後再申請一張新卡,你的電話號碼便正式被盜走啦!

光是這樣不打緊,竊賊還會發簡訊通知通訊部裡面所有人,請你的朋友幫忙買充值卡並把密碼寄給你,一旦你好心的朋友幫忙,竊賊就可以把金額充直到自己的號碼。而你,不但掉了手機號碼,欠朋友人情,還得還朋友為你充值的費用。

雖然被盜卡的財務損失不見得很慘重,但騷擾到朋友還真是苦惱,尤其是電話簿裡還有上司的電話,才真的是讓人哭笑不得阿
