June 13 汶川大地震:一個月了轉眼間,四川大地震發了已經一個月了。儘管只是從媒體上得知災情,許多場面,記憶猶新。 我們面對的,不僅是天災,還有人禍──一大堆的社會問題、政策缺陷;而最可憐的,還有一大堆外國元首要求你在五十年以內學到他們要三百年才掌握的民主體制(而正式來講,中國今年才迎接「改革開放30周年」),像加拿大,昨天(11日)才正式向原住民道歉;更令人痛心的時,有一堆堆不知就裏的人對中國口誅筆伐。 地震過後,才是種種問題的開始。在此希望中國可以從沉痛裏康復過來,並希望災民的心理陰影可以盡快散去,挖掘和重建工程可順利完成,而且,胡爺爺溫爺爺,請你們好好保重身體! March 31 mero vocab eating - news storyユメロマンが高校の教科書に
3月31日14時10分配信
高校生の生産馬として初めてJRAの競走に優勝したユメロマン(牡5、美浦・宗像義忠厩舎)が、高校の教科書に取り上げられていることがわかった。同馬の話題は、30日に文部科学省の検定に合格した英語IIの教科書(桐原書店)に掲載されており、同馬が生徒たちの世話によって育ち、デビュー戦で勝利するまでが紹介されている。
ユメロマンは、父ジェネラス、母サクラトキメキ(その父アンバーシャダイ)という血統。叔父に04年京成杯(GIII)2着のマイネルマクロスがいる。
教育実習の一貫として、北海道・静内農業高校の生徒たちによって種付け、生産、育成され、03年サマーセールにおいて250万円で落札。05年2月のデビュー戦(東京・芝1800m)で勝ち上がり、同年12月の3歳上500万下(中京・芝2500m)で2勝目。その後骨折もあったが、1月28日の前走・ 4歳上500万下(京都・芝2200m)で3着するなど好走を続けている。通算成績17戦2勝。

之前看南早馬經(因為想了解巫斯義的墮馬意外),忽然想起一些不好的事。 某次大家講起運動和跑馬,有人自覺很風趣,為響應他人的意見而說:跑馬不是運動,是"sport for the horse"。 我那時想:「好,是我bias。不過就算你不喜歡跑馬,就計你說中一半,希望說話前先想一想。」
一個不夠110磅的人用腰去控制一隻逾1100磅的馬,會有多吃力? 有沒有想過他們要hold著那個坐又不是,「痞」又不是的坐姿勢一分幾鐘,又兼顧和人鬥快,還要用短短的雙腳(普遍標準騎師都是)夾著那很闊很結實馬身,會有多辛苦? 作為一個男人,為了自己的理想,自小便吃特別餐來限制自己的身高體重,而又不保證個個都是戴圖理,這種犧牲,你又肯嗎?
那種說話,就跟「駛乜二十幾個人爭一個波,畀佢一人一個咪得囉」一類見識不相伯仲。
每個專業,都有值得敬佩的地方。請尊重別人的專業。 May 09 Photo-essayWELCOME TO THE MK ZOO

人、人、人,不論春夏秋冬早午晚,旺角總是湧現人潮。儘管天降冷氣機水、霓紅燈壓頂,這個小小的市區總是人頭湧湧、摩肩接踵。近年,旺角在變:繼有龐然大物朗豪坊入侵砵蘭街,現在便到波鞋街要翻新,商戶都叫苦:「不想落得雀仔街的慘淡收場!」 提起昔日雀仔街、即今日的雀鳥花園,忽然令人想到西洋菜街,還有勝利道,再有上海街,然後是奶路臣街;拼起來,就是一個動物園。雀仔、金魚、狗仔貓仔、魚蝦蟹......
這個動物園沒有彌猴和老虎,但規模不小,至少有「雀鳥天地」、「水族館」和「小動物園地」。旺角,原來除了很多人,還有很多動物。夜裏品流複雜,日頭卻是教育孩子愛護生命的好地方。
旺角動物園跟其他動物園的不同之處,就是不講「眼看手勿動」,想擁有,可以買,而且豐儉由人。總算是另一番體驗。
人生中第一個認真做的photo-essay,終於完成了。
「旺角」,真的不易做。越是自己認識的地方,越難發掘其有趣之處,更何況本身對旺角並無好感。
來來回回,兜兜輚輚,霓虹燈壓頂、招牌擦身而過,跟著人流慢慢地滲到大街小巷,原來,旺角也可以很有趣。
只是,今次主力拍動物的照片,而未能把其他點滴一同放在photo-essay中。反而是你們有機會看到,因為我把相一拼放上來了!
還有甚麼時候,可以再認真地,拍一次照,記下一件件難忘的事?
大部份相片使用Fuji Superia ISO 100配合Minolta 505-si;Tamron 28-105 f/5.6;其餘由Canon-A72拍攝。我還愛用菲林相機,不僅是景深和度身訂做的焦距,還有那種認真計劃的態度。

April 24 About my photo essayCurrently working on my Photo-essay. Probly the most serious project I have done ever- I have been out for 3 times, mainly to look for a good theme and sharpening my angle. If you take a look at the album above, you will see a set of photos calls "Bienvenue au MK Zoo". I made it in French coz the word "Bienvenue" gives a sense of passion- it's a real damned warm welcome out there. I thing it's "Warm" becoz there are lots of colours and noises when you are with these animals- and somehow it's surprising that you can find so many animals in MK. Have anyone ever went to MK becoz of the animals? I guess only a few, but MK, probly more famous for the "unusal business"- pimps and "chicks", as what we call, in a colloquial way, altho a lil bit too ignorant or inconsiderate maybe.
Anyway, recently I am working with my Canon Digi Cam, which is handy but slow- always gets decades if I want to review my pics. But the advantage of using such camera is that I don't have to pay too much for films- especially for a non-prefessional gril like me. Okay many people thought I am not really bad in photography but I would say, after a series of assignments and exams and stuff in university eras, I lost my motivation and got a big set back. The course of Journalism gave me courage and sense of journalism, but no longer the heart to express myself through visual channels.
I am still looking for a proper way to draw up the conclusion. Luckily my experience saved me. According to my only-a-few-years-experience, I should "fall in love" with the place and all the people etc etc etc if I want to take good pics. Just like those from Sri Lanka- I have the love, I have the passion, I have the real thing inside, so I can find the essence of the place, and eventually record them on every piece of film.
Of coz, it doen't takes ages for me to figure out that I am not big enough to take great pics but, one more photo course reminds me the happy times in LPC again. It was Adam (I still remember his full name, and his lovely black Yorkshire Terrier ;p) who taught me to use MY camera (we were using the similar thing). He also taught me some simple theories and picturing stuff. He was mean, in fact. He would comment my works with short words like "crappy" but he's a good person indeed.
We used to exchange ideas and even went to take pics together. Yet we were in the same school for only one year. We don't chat with each other anymore (I dunno why), coz he's not a real friend like Ames or Janko? But would like to thank him for giving me lessons, in a BT way :p Anyway, it's not the first time for me to be "independent"- there was the bun festival, NY, NZ, Sri Lanka... and even grad pics for my sister... lots of valuable expereinces... The sense, the technique, the courage... they are all coming up. Every task give me new lessonS- becoz I made big mistake to spoil good pics, I'd never do it again. It's painful but it's the way I learn. I am not a big icon, probly a nut but I love this way of learning.
Okay, hope there will be nice sunny skies tomorrow so I'd go for more good pics. Man, it's time to let my dearest Minolta to take his another important mission!
In fact, I would have been using DSLR or Digi cam, which give very high quality pics as well. But I stand for film SLR. It's not becoz I don't have that stuff but I want myself be more well-prepared and serious for EVERY single photo. It's the way to train myself to be a better photograher.
I hope I can share good pics with you guys- Later, I promise!
(Oh I said I won't write for my xanga site until the exams have gone but I am writing MSN Spaces- they are BLOGs as well, isn't it?! Big nut me!)
