假如Red Bull送我一對翼

•我寫的每一句headline，都像小學生在週記簿上掏空了心思之後，期待著老師批閱的一刻，面上流露著甚麼樣的表情。
•我稱我的上司作「老師」，除了因為我對他的尊敬之外，他從前真的曾當老師。
•「老師」是我最尊敬的人之一，他的詩我在中學時期已經很喜歡，而且我曾很驕傲地對別人說，在香港的詩壇當中，老師寫的詩算是數一數二。
•我的copy寫的不好，「老師」從來不會責備我，甚至連一點斥責的語氣也沒有。
•他只會說，「你試下由第二個direction諗下喇，例如…」。我就知道例如之後通常就會是答案。
•離開了的舊同事對我說，這兒是agency裡的天堂。假若有天你發覺在天堂待膩了，有了足夠的準備以後，也許是時候到地獄走一蕩。
•然後她還說，當她決定真的要走了，對著大家忍不住哭了好幾次。
•我很感恩，無論去到哪裡都遇上一大堆好人。雖然人群中我不算是最多說話的幾個，但總是沒有被大家所遺忘。
•我知道我未夠「放」，在這個群體裡。而我應當更加「放」，為的是要更好玩。
•Fun + work = good work! 是我們的宗旨。
•只有無所顧忌才能暢所欲言。天馬行空也無須擔心白痴低能。

•假如Red Bull真的送我一對翼，我希望有人會buy我的「飛行戰翼」。
•為著這些沒有見光就偷偷死去的、我的、由一大堆心機堆砌而成的 headline
•下一次我會將您們寫的更加圓滿。

假如Red Bull送我一對翼

•係咪做極唔攰摩打手；百足咁多隻腳，範範掂定係一夜奪A秘笈？
•廣告的世界五光十色，頭一個月我在飄飄然，然後的30日，天天在懷疑自己適不適合。踏入第三個月，我希望這是一個開始。
•我問一位前輩，我適不適合？他說「沒有適不適合，只有想同唔想！」如果想就去做好。
•在這個Visual Driven 的世界裡面，管字的要花上更加多的心機以及運氣方可被注意到。
•又話18區報到，最近仲大叫「極速普及」，搞到我都想喜動埋一份，點知最後電話另一邊廂說，「小姐，你幢大廈暫時未有依個服務喎……」

一個人住

•終於發現了一個人住的好處，以我依家嘅讀書速度，可以一晚睇完林夕的《原來你非不快樂》。只是一口氣讀完有點可惜，還是看了再看。
•朋友來的時候買了個蛋糕，大家合力吃了一半，餘下的另一半我分了三天吃，還沒有吃完。
•每天回到家裡第一件事將全屋的燈都開了。
•用讀書的頁數計算從家裡到公司的距離，是我仔細看六、七頁書的時間。
•仍然鐘愛著某類型的書，但現在的我起碼看Marketing或是Economic的書都不覺討厭。
•如果可以克服寂寞，一個人的時候我會更加快樂。
•但是聽說寂寞不會因為人多而減少。
•「係性格嘅問題」朋友說。沒有甚麼不好，唯有在一個人的時候，思考是最廣闊的。

懷念讀書的日子

1. 出來做嘢個幾月，仍在校的朋友好奇問我，到底喺做嘢好呀還是讀書好，我不想裝出一副很世故的嘴臉跟人家分析「返學很自由，返工可以掙錢」這些人人明白的道理。對我來說，返工好嘆，(可能因為我個pose太hea)，我懷念讀書時候的自己。不用我例舉出一大堆原因說讀書的日子有多好，反正以後你自會明白。

2. 有時候我會覺得自己的工作前景好暗淡，在這個visual drive的世界裡，廣告裡頭的字越寫越小，佔的空間越來越細。誰說的visual跟headline是孖生好兄弟？觀眾的口味自然告訴你，誰是主，誰只會是客。因而有人說，做copywriter，一生就只等一個機會，在等一個機會，讓你的headline傳得街知巷聞。

3. 個個product都話要做到premium，你出街見到個個女人都一樣樣呀，你仲會唔會認為依個世界有靚女。我唔要靚女，俾番性格我。

4. 繁文美學還是留待徵文寫詩，正如好嘅紅酒喺要留番俾識得欣賞嘅人。

一個人的遠足

我沒有放棄，也沒有沾沾自喜
我是在整理自己的背包
放上途中所需要的食物
麵包、水以及一些輕便的衣物
還有我最喜歡的糖果與墨鏡
趁夜深的時候出發

這一個月以來

這一個月以來，從悉尼到墨爾本，從墨爾本到香港。從開始搵工到熟習新的工作環境，從離開熟悉了的環境，到再一次有新的同事，然後又要繼續適應。短短一個月，很多事情發生了，但是又像在夢境裡輕輕帶過的，腦袋裡經常是一片空白，像是仍然停留在一個月之前的，那一份陽光。

Sydney • Glamorous • Last Call

A trip to Canberra

Life in Sydney is a little bit boring, usually I don’t hang out late in weekdays, because we have to get up early next day. Some of my friends even sleep at 10:00 pm here while they usually sleep at 2am in HK.

So I really look forward to weekends, that we have time to explore this city deeply. Visiting museums or going to Sunday markets are also the good choice. Or you can plan a trip outside city.


A few weeks ago, we went to the capital city, Canberra. Unlike Sydney and Melbourne, Canberra does not carry long history background, so not many people would know this city very well.

Why Canberra to be the capital city? There is a little story I heard from my colleague. When Australia had to set up her capital city, New South Wales and Victoria competed to be the capital state strongly, most of the people could not decide which state is better, finally they chose a place between NSW and Victoria, that’s Canberra.

Canberra is a quite city with lovely sunshine, shining silver trees, low-rise house and hundreds of pigeons, most people who live in Canberra are working for the federal government, you can see beautiful new and old parliament houses in Canberra. Unluckily, we did not come in their sitting period, so we can’t see people debating in the chambers.

But instead we met a young British girl in our youth hostel, she has travelled four months from Britain, Africa to Australia, we all felt excited about her journey, how she lived in the middle of Africa. We even teach her to play Chinese card game. That’s a happy cold night in Canberra, but fulfilled with our laughing in the house.

Who looks similar to you?

Has it happened to you? When you firstly meet some new friends, even at the first glance, they are going to tell you ‘oh, you really look alike my friend, xxx..’

Usually I wonder ‘how much do we look alike? ’ ‘Well, you two just like the missing twins!’ they continue to say. ‘ha ha’ what the only thing I can do is laughing. I don’t mind looking similar to your friends, but later they continue to tell me ‘I don’t like her (the one looks similar to me), because…’
Frankly speaking, I don’t wish to know another Me’ s fault, and it’s not fair to apply them to me. I wonder if there are many people look like you, how can people remember which one is the correct ‘Me’, or what do I leave in your mind? A strong personality would help, perhaps.

Risk or safe?

In fact, life in Sydney is quite boring, everyday get up at 7:45 am, then rush to office, usually my colleagues give me lots of work, so I have to stay late to finish my daily stuff. When I arrive home, I have to cook and wash, watch TV, then go to bed, sometimes I have to bring my typing to work at home.

Once I asked my colleague, Leslie ‘I want some excitement in Sydney, can you suggest some places to me to go? ’. Leslie was a flight-attendance in the past ten years, she has been to lots of countries, and I though I chose the right person. ‘Oh, frankly speaking, if you want some excitement, you have to put you in the risk, more dangerousness you get, higher emotion you can reach.’ ‘But you can’t find lots of dangerousness in OZ, that’s why I choose to live here! I like safe and peace’

I don’t know, perhaps our thought would be change frequently according to our age, we dream to have an unusual life in teenagers, but maybe some day, when we grow up, we are satisfied with everyday’s stable work. Then we are all used to be the bored people. Somebody would say it is the true of our life, I am not going to argue with you, but I really want to know how can I escape from this kind of truth.

Working with politicians

Being an internship student in Parliament House is not an easy work, I work with Dr. Gordon Moyes, a member of the legislative council in Sydney. He used to be a member of the Christian Democratic Party, but he had divorced with the party just a month ago before I arrived. Then they have to move to a temporary office, where I don’t have my own computer, and even a desk. Luckily I have brought my own laptop with me, and use a small table for typing.

Most of the legislators would hire two staff, one is the speech writer, and the other would be the secretary. My job duties, of course, would be an assistant with their large workload, so I have to pick up all mails for Dr. Gordon Moyes, post mails, filling, type books, maintain Dr. Moyes’ website, greet guests in some functions as well as sit in the chamber to hear what they are debating for the bills (that’s cool for me!). I enjoy sitting in the chamber, then I can recognize most of the faces of Sydney’s political leaders, how their legislative system operate, how the government deal with the opposite parties. Once I heard the opposition say “excellent rubbish!” to describe the treasury minister during debating, I can’t help to bursting into laughing, you just imagine there is another ‘long hair’ sitting the chamber and biting with the governors, isn’t it funny to watch?

And my supervisor is a very strong and talent young lady, she is graduated from University of Sydney, the Political and Economic major, she can handle lots of things at the same time, surely have to work under high pressure. She is also the speech writer for Gordon, that means she has to catch up the latest news quickly and analyze them deeply. At the first week here, Maria (my supervisor) told me to speak loudly, to be tough and confident! Although I don’t think my voice is too soft, I respect all the advice she gives me. My another colleague, Leslie, is a gentle and elegant lady, she speaks slowly and softly, that’s why I love her so much. It’s easier for me to pick up Leslie’s words rather than Maria’s. But the one I love most in office is our legislator, Dr. Gordon Moyes, a wise old man who talks Bible stories with me a lot. He is very busy, but he still remembered to bring me some postcards from his far way home.

I love working in the Parliament House, although I am always very busy, and have to stay late. The only inconvenience is lack of time for my own writing……

Rainbow outside the plane

Haven’t uploaded my lovely blogger for a month, life without writing makes me empty, it’s better to write more about my journey in Australia.

I flied to Sydney on 16th June, that’s my b-day. To me, the perfect time to escape from Hong Kong is my birthday, it’s not because I don’t like Hong Kong. Instead I love it so much! But I wanna make my birthday especial and memorable.

This summer I would stay in Australia for 2 months, and have an internship in the Parliament House of Sydney, a historical building with lots of art works, you know I love art! So you can imagine how I love this workplace!

On the flight to Sydney I saw a huge rainbow in front of me, that’s amazing! We even flied over it. The first time I saw a rainbow on aeroplane, then I know that, I must have a great journey.

在等待的過程中，我顯得很缺乏耐性。

一年以後

跟好朋友們玩了一個小遊戲，找來了我們遺下多時的畫板與顏料，畫上最能代表自己的圖案。看到大家的畫工，我們都不禁自嘲大家都是滿有童真的。顏料不夠，原來打算畫的紅唇唯有變作橙唇，眼睛的黑色用原子筆代替。然後分發每人信紙信封，給一年後的自己以及對方寫信。寫好了，連帶剛才畫的小畫板一併抽籤交換保存。相約一年之後，看看彼此的變化。


不是第一次發現快樂並不在乎遊戲的本身，看你遇上什麼樣的人。選擇在某個時候玩曾經玩過的遊戲，時間付予我們一份意義。一個階段的過去，明天將會如何，我們有著大概的期盼，然而每當提及的時候又覺得有點模糊。 即使再模糊，與一年後的自己對話，好讓這一刻的千絲萬縷被記下。

一直認為大學畢業是一件值得開香檳慶祝的事，最想搞一個cocktail party，有我喜愛的Vodka加橙汁，然後就是Baileys加朱古力奶，放上大大的冰粒。有我最喜歡的大學同學，我會很高興。

然而考完最後一科，我們幾個作戰到最後的同學都沒有特別的興奮，最終只是各自的回家去。我沒有甚麼，只是覺得有點納悶，當大家都在討論考完試之後搵工的問題。有人同情我們，說：就是欠缺點運氣，在經濟氣候最差的時候畢業，要更加努力發求職信云云。我沒有覺得自己特別的可憐，又或是尤其的倒霉。也許是平日看電視太多，腦海裡自然地浮現，從前的天災、戰禍、時局的動盪。當我們不只一次在慨嘆「這不是一個最好的時代」，一代一代人走過。

假如環境不能改變多少，也至少我們可以，減少「慨嘆」本身，給人製造的負面能量。

招聘會

去了上星期六的大型招聘會，好多人，係勁多人，十點半到達入口處，十二點方進到場館。某些攤位前有好長長長長的人龍等面試，心想:我是注定與它無緣的了，所以也懶得去浪費時間。

在會場後面的休憩區，各人在埋頭填申請表，表情甚是有趣的。離開的時候在想，若干年後，當我回想起這個情景，我仍然會感到很有趣。「集體回憶」，這裡大概可以用得上吧。


(後記: 但是我覺得尋找工作比起做功課，更容易讓人感到疲累。)

「遲來的相處」：
內地新來港子女眼中的父親

摘要：

本研究希望藉著探討內地新來港年青子女眼中的父親形象，以及他們與父親相處的關係，補充過往對新來港青少年與父親相處方面的研究不足。本文訪問了八位來港不足一年的青少年人，了解他們在來港前與來港後對父親的印象。研究發現新來港子女眼中的父親形象會隨著來港前後與父親不同的相處模式而有所轉變，然而這種改變的程度八位受訪者各有不同，當中的因素包括：來自農村的跟城市的子女對父親的期望存在著差異；來港定居前曾到過香港旅行的子女，傾向容易理解父親在香港的形象；不同的團聚模式中，子女對父親的觀感有所不同；母親對建立子女眼中父親的形象有著重要的意義。對於來港初期的內地子女來說，遲來的相處，令父親出現前後兩種形態，當中需要他們以時間去理解，再整合成一個完整的父親形象。

Hon pro的教訓

每日見到媽子﹕「你又凌晨幾點鐘瞓呀，你睇你呀，成日唔夠瞓，D暗瘡出曬來啦。」
「你估我想既咩，我都好想早點瞓，其實我真係好中意，好中意瞓覺架」頂嘴一向係我既強項。

我都知最近個樣好殘，殘到連街都唔想出。
不過，點都要出架，要返學嘛，我唔想因為寫thesis skip曬d堂呀……鬼咩，依個時間人人都交thesis既first draft，我先開始動筆寫。原來我係烏龜來架，磨來磨去都凈係得果幾隻字。

(不如你寫快d啦!)唔得呀，快唔到。(甘你即係唔打算瞓覺啦)但係我又好眼瞓喎。
(不如你瞓覺啦)月尾要交first draft比城城….<呵欠中>
(自己知自己事，下次搵個嚴厲d既老細，要成日催你交野果種)
最怕果d老細唔想要我ja
(你話啦，今次個教訓係咩呀…)城城對我太好，自己做野太慢…… <頂唔順，一定要瞓覺>

乍短的偶遇 長久的隔開 難以置想確實曾相處

雙方似並行直線 從交叉角度相遇

曾經交錯但離去後不會再遇

一刻有想過貿然找尋你

講聲你好嗎彷似知己

但怕要呼吸那份 陌生味

乍短的偶遇 長久的隔開 難以去置想往日曾相處

雙方似並行直線 從交叉角度相遇

曾經交錯但離去後不會再遇

又想過 重遇應該不錯

卻清楚 就算再遇卻怎麼 時地已過

雙方似並行直線 從交叉角度相遇

曾經交錯但離去後不會再遇

終於會愈行愈遠　時機走過勒不住

曾經交錯但離去後不會再遇

S與K的對話

S: K，你係時候收手啦，唔好成日玩Facebook，得閑睇多d reading仲好過啦，你份thesis一隻字都未寫過呀，你好似一d都唔心急甘，我反而在替你擔心呀……..
K: 我都唔想架，我已經戒左玩網上小遊戲，唔係連Facebook都要戒係嘛?

S: 唔係話唔玩得，不過要適可而止囉。
K: 我試過唔玩Facebook，click 下 click下，click左去google map，又係一個好玩的玩意，好似之前有Poladroid。又買左新相機，冇理由唔玩架，係咪先?

S: 有邊樣你覺得唔好玩架? 喂，你甘落去thesis會F架喎!
K: 我就算遠離電腦，手多多開左顏色，又會走左去畫畫…

S: 我覺得你是在逃避寫thesis呀，點解會甘架? 每個同學都要寫架喎。
K: 我有試過好努力做架，而且訪問左5個cases，但係做完interview 之後就唔想再做落去…

S: 點解呢?
K: 每個case的variation都甘大，我點做分析呀? 有時候我唔係唔想做，而是根本唔知應該點做，而且訪問結果同hypothesis 都唔一樣，係咪literature個part要重新做過 ?

S: 這個問題….我唔知點答你喎。
K: ……..
