一向来, 我不太写与政治有关的贴字。
因为,我对政治不够敏感和了解,也不要写了出来误导自己误导别人。
妈妈也说,最好不要写政治,不然一个不小心会被捉。
但是,读到马来西亚昨天的Bersih (马来文,意即干净) 大集会,哪可能不写写的。
其实,我的部落没太多人读,影响肯定不大,也不会出名。所以,不可能会被捉。
Bersih 这个大集会主要是向马来西亚国家元首请愿,要求一个干净和公平的选举。
很多人民热烈反应,身穿黄衣出席支持。
雨虽大,但它阻止不了人民的参与。
虽被警员发射水炮吹泪弹, 可也压抑不了人民的声音。
其中详情在此我也不多谈,有兴趣者可以上网查读。
只是很想说:
很为勇敢的马来西亚人民感到骄傲。
也为人民被压迫的处境感到气愤。
更为不听取民意的政府继续感到绝望!
I don’t usually writing any blog post relating to politics. Main reason being that I don’t know too much about politics and don’t want to write anything that can mislead myself and others. My mother also advised me not to write about politics, otherwise, there is a [...]
Stand with the Burmase Protesters !

这几天, 水深火热的缅甸的情况每况愈下,真的令人担心。
到底有多少人被捕,多少人死伤,都是未知数。
痛心人民的受害,佩服他们站起来的勇气。
不知道可以为他们做些什么。
不知道他们可否知道我们的关心。
今天,刚好看到此网页 : Stand with the Burmese Protesters !
在短短几天内,已收到超过500千个签名,以支持缅甸百姓。
今天,帮他们签个请愿书,
盼这份棉力可为他们带来一点希望,
盼军政铁手放过手无寸铁的人民,
盼人民的声音最终会被听到和被尊重。
The situation in Myanmar is worsening and worrying.
We still don’t know the accurate numbers of people been arrested and killed.
It is heartbroken to see the people suffer so much.
They deserve our absolute respect for their courage to stand up for justice.
I don’t know what I can do [...]
Virginia Tech Memorial Services Speech
Posted in 有话直说 Say what I think, tagged buddhist, Daisaku Ikeda, Dalai Lama, memorial services, Virginia Tech on 四月 20, 2007 | h
The worldwide media broadcast of Cho Seung-Hui’s footages have received much condemnation. Currently in Hong Kong, I saw them in the news and felt quite disturbed and chilly. Amongst all the materials media brought to audiences, not many of them are positive or bring about hope except more fears and pains.
I have read something quite [...]
Wednesday - My Healthy Day : 储藏未来孩子的冰箱 The ‘Storage’ of Future Babies
Posted in 3 第三家-加拿大 Third home - Canada, 女性角落 Women's corner, 有话直说 Say what I think, tagged infertility, women, canada, freezing the eggs, 加拿大, 女性, 不孕, 冷藏卵子 on 四月 5, 2007 | h
[Picture above (from Toronto Star) : A vat of liquid nitrogen holds embryos donated to LifeQuest Reproductive Centre (Toronto) Medicine for research. Similar containers will soon hold the eggs of young women who want to preserve their fertility.]
(Dear English readers, please scroll down for English translation)
前阵子,在Toronto Star报章读到一篇题为《Babies of the Ice Age》的文章。主要内容是 - 现在的最新科技可以为女性“储存”她们的卵子,以延长生育期。卵子可以在还年轻时从体内“抽出”,放进上图装有氮的容器内。氮可以有效地将卵子保持于健康状态。等到女性想要生育时,才拿出来受孕。就如将食物放进冰箱以保持新鲜。
文中提到,加拿大许多现代女性用她们最茂盛的生育时期(20至30岁)来追求教育和事业。可是, 她们的卵巢却随时间渐渐地退化。国家内15至49的女性平均只生育1.5个孩子,不能为国家维持所需要的人口(2.1个)。以前,这种科技用来帮助有疾病不能生育的女性。现在,可能可以开放给其他想要迟些生育的女性。希望这种新科技可以为职业女性和国家带来新希望。
另一篇文章题为《My Life [...]

DRUGS multinational GlaxoSmithKline was fined 217,000 New Zealand dollars ($A192,129) for misleading advertising yesterday after two science students found Ribena contained no detectable vitamin [...]
情人节三不买 - 我赞成!
Posted in 大节大日 Special Events, 情字一个 Love actually, 有话直说 Say what I think, tagged 爱情, love, Valentine's Day, 情人节 on 二月 13, 2007 | h
听朋友说,在香港,有人在网上,鼓吹“三不买” - 在情人节,不买礼物,不买鲜花,不买晚餐。 问题主要来自商家在情人节当天故意把价格调得特高。害得男的钱包很惨。虽然,这根本不能衡量对一个人的感情。可是,有些女的,觉得当天的表现很重要。
唉!多得商家及传播界的努力。把爱情这样来”扭转”。希望大家别陷入这个圈套。
三不买 - 我赞成!!
希望别误会,我不是不站在女方。只是觉得这样花钱,有些浪费, 也“益”了商家。礼物,鲜花,晚餐,不一定要在情人节当天买。
突然,有个小小建议 - 不如,用那些钱一起去报名学些两人都有兴趣的东西。学的不一定要太认真,短程的就很好。如:画画,艺术或电影欣赏,跳舞,等等。一起学一些东西两三个月,可能更能增进感情。
可是,我也明白,男的有时会比较懒学东西,除了电脑或游戏。
总之,先“益”自己,别“益”商家!!
