- 11月22日，我人生中的大事紀念日。還是那種諷刺的悲哀。
我還記得當年的願望。
- 學校有internship講座，更覺自己與張佬格格不入。又學不到各種技術，做來做去都是varsity，實在太多了，浪費時間！
- 而且他們居然講完日日被人罵、體力消耗極大、工時極長不會有足夠睡眠等，仍說$3000人工不錯！WTF香港！這樣侮辱的酬勞，還不如沒人工！不過人各有志啦只可以這麼說......如果可以參與電影製作，受再多的苦我也會一樣高興。
- 說起夢想，我想再看《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》這本小書。想必會得到一點啟發和力量。

- 鴨記二十元的時光機，尖沙咀後巷，roll機，action. 三時回到家，居然感到快樂.
- 在的士上的收音機聽到一個女的為了一個男的付出了整個生活，卻從不知他何時會在哪裡出沒。有點想像她那樣專注投入一件事；就一件。
- 不得不讚舊區的規劃呀，南昌街路中間有休憩公園，咁先係架嘛！
- 愛上Supper Moment了，連成員咩樣都唔知就去左睇show。迷上新歌《小行星》：）
- 完場後看見好多fan屎等歌手，我在想為何我完全沒興趣等呢？回想當初知道要做記者時也沒半點興奮，大概我不特別想跟欣賞的人相識，反正覺得做不成好朋友......又是自卑罷.

- shit i dont want to be creepy 根深柢固的眼神以至心理狀況要如何是好???
- 貼堂時間YEAH！
水殼 idea provided by crystal - 又是自卑害的。到底如何跟優秀的人對話？覺得別人優秀→ 覺得每句話都顯得自己愚蠢→ 無話好講→ 交不成朋友:(
- 果然十次唔得都要嘗試第十一次，好似琴日咁，用學生証開到剪片室！
- 談公事之際，腦裡突然閃起班主任大叫：「四點？！？！！！」
回想起來，這話也許在我身上留了傷疤......
那是小學一或二年班的家長日前幾天，同學各自向老師報告家長能出席的時間。 - http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=456109441922
首先，這人果然有轉系生的眼界，敢怒敢言，張佬需要這樣的人。
真心話，何 故然是仆街，但姓馮的才該付上最大責任吧，是誰放這隻怪物入來，課堂上由得牠亂叫自己不用工作，最後還拿教學獎兼當了副院長，更受全世界愛戴？新傳學院無Ｘ野呀？同學們，到底令你要受這種苦的是誰？你當初不過是要來讀創意多媒體，不是嗎？
真心話是，中大新傳學院胡亂聘人，苦了我們。
真心話是，我每日都好痛苦，我每日都在笑，我無法否認要在中大學拍野是笑話。因為我從前有個電影夢而我竟然選擇了中大。人生最錯誤的選擇。而我每天都在承受無知的惡果。
真心話是，我想學技術、想深入學習錄像製作，但來到只學到將奴性合理化，他們的藉口總是未來的工作世界。
FUCKING EDUCATION IN HONG KONG.
& fucking stupid me... - 嘩！淤塞嘅渠道好似通返啲！希望今日開始識得表達自己！

- 到底自己做決定 定 唔做決定順其自然 才可避免後悔？
瓜我唔多信你...... 中伏太多次啦。 - 真的能說命運在我手嗎？你堅守存在主義？但你又信性格已決定命運。
- 還是不明白這是怎麼回事。無疑你們很優秀，我只喜歡跟你們待在一起，我渴望你們把我當作同類。可你說我是屬於這群精英的嗎，事實上我根本什麼都不知道，有時候我覺得我是個被利用的小白痴，看不出背後的前因後果。但又不相信你們是老謀深算的人。
- check 了又check那些數據，忽然覺得自己有點可憐。事實是你苦心經營，卻沒有人注意你。
- 還是未有勇氣邀請朋友來這網誌看赤裸的我。但當然心裡還是期望有像我這般無聊的人會找到來。
SFSU commencement address 2008
MAYOR GAVIN NEWSOM:
Thank you Bob. Congratulations, class of 2008. How are you feeling, San Francisco State?
It is good to be here and it's an honor to be asked to speak to you. Now, I did -- I did a little bit of research before I decided to accept this. I asked my staff, I said, "Tell me about your graduation speaker at college." They all are college graduates, by the way, and not one of them could remember who spoke at their graduation. So let me introduce myself to you as the guy you will soon forget that spoke at your graduation here at SF State.
It is my honor to be invited to share with you not a political speech, but to share with you just some thoughts and ideas that I have been jotting down in the last few days, some of the things I've picked up along the way. But I would be remiss not to pick up on what some of the previous speakers have said, particularly some of the passionate eloquence of Dr. White who sounded more like Reverend White when he spoke about our composite strength. And, I think, it is important to reflect on this.
Bob Corrigan, your president, reflected upon it in his opening remarks of this the 107th graduating class. He commented to me when we were walking up, he said, "I don't know if you know this Mayor, but there are 107 countries represented in this graduation, here today, which is extraordinary." And that deserves some consideration because for the rest of your lives you're going to be identified with San Francisco State University. You're going to be identified with a city that is among the most diverse cities in the most diverse region in the most diverse State in the world's most diverse democracy.
And people are living together, advancing together, and prospering together across every conceivable difference, that's the magic of our city, that's the magic of your university, that's the magic and spirit that unites us all here today. In addition -- and by the way I know you're thinking, "how long?" I got you. Don't worry. Not long.
I was thinking about, though, what makes -- beyond that composite strength -- the fact that we are celebrating all our interesting differences, but at the end of the day, we're uniting around our common humanity and things that unite us. I also was trying to think about what makes San Francisco such a unique and special place, why it's often been described as 47 square miles surrounded by reality.
Think about that.
A city of dreamers, a city of doers, a city of entrepreneurs, a city of innovators, a city that is always on the leading and cutting edge of new ideas. At its core, it's people who live their lives out loud.
And this is what I want to impart to you and challenge you to think about: it's passionate people that have found their purpose, the things that drive them. And the more I go around and the more I go through life, I am now starting to understand this distinction between committed people and interested people. And the difference therein lies my belief of the determinative nature of success: that committed people find ways of getting things done. Interested people find excuses. And where that commitment comes from is passion. Pursuing something you love.
When you graduate as you are in a moment, formally, what you do next should be in that pursuit. Do not take a job for what it pays you. Take a job because of how it inspires you and what you can learn from it. I have met so many people that are utterly disconnected with happiness because every single day they're waking up and they're going to work. And they don't particularly like their jobs because they haven't found their passion. If you don't like your job, you're not going to excel it at it, period. But if you find something you love, you'll find that connection, you'll find that commitment, and you'll find your bliss, and you'll find your connection to something much bigger.
And that's why I just want to challenge you to answer this question -- I have on my desk a little plaque that says, "what would you do, what would you do if you knew you could not fail?"
What would you try to achieve? Who would you try to become if you knew it was impossible to fail, what would you try to do? And if you can answer that question, and if you can live and manifest the answer to that question, then I believe you guys are well on your way.
Another key determinant of success in life is failure. And I want to focus on this. A lot has been written and discussed about the importance of failure, but I need to underscore this point because you have all been trained in a way that makes you less likely to fail as often as I would like you to.
And what I mean by failure is the willingness and ability to take risks, we are so risk-averse, specifically in the public sector. And the purpose for me of taking risks is that mistakes are portals of discovery. When you fail -- and I challenge you to fail forward fast -- when you fail, you're learning something new. It's remarkable to me, and this is interesting, that all the great discoveries in physics have been made by people 25 years and younger. And the reason why is they just don't know what they don't know. And as a consequence, they're willing to try new things. And so I challenge you as you move forward in life, do not become risk averse. I want you to do what Winston Churchill said when he answered the question, "what is the secret of all success?," Winston Churchill, he said it was moving from failure to failure with enthusiasm.
Think about it. If it's that easy… Wayne Gretsky commented, "You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take." The point is, if you think those two did all right, consider some of their colleagues who somewhat shared similar fates. Guys like Elvis Presley and Michael Jordan, Dr. Seuss, Henry Ford -- if you don't know him you probably drive one of his automobiles -- all of them had failure in common. Jordan was literally rejected from his high school basketball team. Michael Jordan wasn't good enough. That guy Churchill finished last in his class, whoever you are, congratulations… there are a number of you, I see.
Henry Ford went bankrupt not once, not twice -- three, four, five times went bankrupt. Dr. Seuss tried to publish that darn green eggs and whatever ham, not once -- five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-three times he was rejected. Until a publisher finally said, "all right, what the heck do I have to lose?" And Elvis Presley got an F in music.
My point, I think, has been made.
I want you in that context -- and I heard it a moment ago, and it's just so right on -- to also preserve a sense of being different. Learn from but don't follow others. We get so consumed by how someone else is doing in terms of defining our own success in life. I kind of love what the late, great Jerry Garcia said, Grateful Dead, I know you, some of you still know who the Grateful Dead are. And I love the idea that a politician could quote Jerry Garcia. Only in San Francisco. But he said, "you do not want to be the best of the best." Let me repeat that, this is what he said, he said, "you do not want to be the best of the best. You want to be the only one that does what you do."
Think about that. And by the way, that described the Grateful Dead, didn't it? It describes them day. Everyone has a unique, latent talent. Everyone's expression is unique, celebrate that. Don't try to become someone else and something inherently you are not. That's the opportunity. Live your life out loud for you to find the ability to be fully expressive, and that is the opportunity of originality. That's what each and every one of you inherently possess.
Another point, we heard it a moment ago, as well. And that is lifelong learning. This is important. I keep reminding my staff when they come in and lecture me is that they need to first seek to understand, then to be understood. A lesson my mother taught me. This was codified so many times over in so many books that I've read, but probably best by the greatest basketball coach in history. The greatest coach in history who said, it's what you learn after you know it all that counts. That was John Wooden. Think about that. It's important.
Learning doesn't end here today. It's the beginning of a process. If you're green, you are growing, if you are ripe, you are rotting. Be green.
Also, learn to listen. And I know many of you are not. But listening is the only way to find out what you are missing. There is a great story, I just read this in a book about president Teddy Roosevelt who was an admirer of listeners and practiced it himself. And he was at this big, fancy gala out at the White House. It's a true story. And everyone came up all these silent pleasantries, nice to meet you Mr. President, keep up the good work. And the President would say a few words, thank you that's great. He recalled no one was paying a damn bit of attention to him. So he said the following to everyone he met, with a big smile on his face at this big, fancy gala with all these fancy people. He said with a smile when he shook their hand, he said "I killed my grandmother this morning." True story, he said that. And everyone went by and everyone said, "that's wonderful, Mr. President, nice to meet you." He kept repeating it until one very seasoned diplomat leaned over and whispered into his ear -- into the president's ear and said, "Well, Mr. President, I'm sure she had it coming." Learn to listen.
We heard from Manny [Mashouf] about the importance of generosity. This is also important because I'll tell you the three people that were honored today -- Walter, Isabel and Manny -- were honored for one reason. Not because of the things they have received but because of things they have given. This is important in life. Because we kind of sometimes forget that. It's the old lesson of the candle. It doesn't lose at all it's brightness by lighting another candle.
There's a story I heard a couple years ago, and bear with me very briefly, about the Special Olympics, This friend of mine, Michael Pritchard, told this story about the Special Olympics. They're all lined up, and there was a very large woman, taller than the rest, bigger, stronger, named Judy. Judy starts running around the track. She's well ahead of everybody else. And people are enthusiastically cheering her on, saying keep going, Judy, keep going. She gets about fifteen yards from the finish line, and people say, come on Judy, the gold medal, the gold medal. she slows down and stops, she's shaking her head. Come on Judy, fifteen yards, fifteen yards, you've got it. She keeps shaking her head. Until she turns around and waits for every single person – this is a true story -- to come right up and she puts out her arms and wraps around every single shoulder and they all walk across the finish line together. That's generosity. That's the spirit of generosity. That's what it's all about, guys, and I hope you think about that.
Two final points. Forget pursuit of power. Forget the pursuit of power. I'm talking Gandhi, King, Vaclav Havel, Nelson Mandela, I could go on. But I challenge you to think with me, think about Gandhi in 1935, Dr. King, 1959, Havel, '85, how about Mandela in 1988. What did they all have in common? Jail time. None of them had formal authority. Theirs was the pursuit of purpose, not power. They had moral authority.
You do not need a title to have moral authority, you do not need a title to change the world. There's just simply enough evidence to prove that point. Think about those four leaders the next time you are desperate for that job that you must have to finally be someone. Do not forget. It's not about being someone, it's about doing something. Not about being some governor or president so that you can finally do something. You have moral authority. Use it.
I'll close by saying this, as well, that one thing about success I've also learned is it's not a place and it's not a definition. It's a direction. There is no having made it. I'd like to tell you that there was. So I just want to make you think a little bit about an old line that it's important to happily achieve, not achieve to be happy. I know that you've achieved something great today, but I hope you've enjoyed the process. And I hope whatever new goals and sights you is set for yourself remember that, this is it, tomorrow, the next day, this is it. So, the point is calm down, reflect upon it, and enjoy it and know that there are no experts. I am learning this, and if you didn't believe me, just think about weapons of mass destruction. There are no experts. We're all winging it. So relax. Don't take it or yourselves too seriously. Final words, how long? Not long.
I've always believed that the best way to predict the future is simply to go out and create it. And a lot of people talk about the future being in front of us, but at the end of the day, don't ever forget it -- this is the spirit of what Walter talked about a moment ago -- the future is not just in front of you, it's inside of you. You've got to have the courage to manifest it. To take the risks. To live your lives out loud. To be driven by passion and purpose. Remember purpose is what it's all about, not power. Live your life out loud, be fully expressive, recognize your fate is connected to every single person next to you, in front of you and around you and relax and enjoy and -- and regale in this great day in your accomplishments as graduates 2008 at San Francisco State. Thank you all, and have a great afternoon.
Thank you Bob. Congratulations, class of 2008. How are you feeling, San Francisco State?

I'll close by saying this, as well, that one thing about success I've also learned is it's not a place and it's not a definition. It's a direction. There is no having made it. I'd like to tell you that there was. So I just want to make you think a little bit about an old line that it's important to happily achieve, not achieve to be happy. I know that you've achieved something great today, but I hope you've enjoyed the process. And I hope whatever new goals and sights you is set for yourself remember that, this is it, tomorrow, the next day, this is it. So, the point is calm down, reflect upon it, and enjoy it and know that there are no experts. I am learning this, and if you didn't believe me, just think about weapons of mass destruction. There are no experts. We're all winging it. So relax. Don't take it or yourselves too seriously. Final words, how long? Not long.
I've always believed that the best way to predict the future is simply to go out and create it. And a lot of people talk about the future being in front of us, but at the end of the day, don't ever forget it -- this is the spirit of what Walter talked about a moment ago -- the future is not just in front of you, it's inside of you. You've got to have the courage to manifest it. To take the risks. To live your lives out loud. To be driven by passion and purpose. Remember purpose is what it's all about, not power. Live your life out loud, be fully expressive, recognize your fate is connected to every single person next to you, in front of you and around you and relax and enjoy and -- and regale in this great day in your accomplishments as graduates 2008 at San Francisco State. Thank you all, and have a great afternoon.

fxxking cinematography class
- "Jordan was literally rejected from his high school basketball team. Michael Jordan wasn’t good enough. That guy Churchill finished last in his class. ... Henry Ford went bankrupt not once, not twice — three, four, five times went bankrupt. Dr. Seuss tried to publish that darn green eggs and whatever ham, not once — five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-three times he was rejected. Until a publisher finally said, 'All right, what the heck do I have to lose?' And Elvis Presley got an F in music."
不肯定這些人物有什麼失敗的，反而相信他們一直做得不錯，只是遇上有權勢而目中無人的白痴。
今天我們的作品被批評得一文不值體無完膚，我會當是一種潛能的讚賞。（喂好老土好懶樂觀呀，瓜！）
在同學面前我未算太激動，其實我只是沒說，條仆街每講一句時我心中都在呼喊「屌你」，直到回程時心臟也跳動得很不舒服。
他們在面書罵得興高采烈，我沒參與，一來愈提會愈不愉快；二來也許是我反抗能力較低，已轉向自省，自知條仆街批評得有點道理便不再說了。
points:
day & night shooting
color temperature
lights
其餘的都是為針對而亂說的廢話。
條仆街沒講我們其的camera works，但我們自知做得不錯，就好。
最緊要對得住自己嘛。 - 強烈地想拍嘢。玩打燈，強烈光暗對比，玩超誇張角度。電影攝影課的練習還不夠，我好想從頭到尾親手拍攝，獨自完成一套影片。瓜！佐治給你如此黃金機會，你這次不要再吹水啦！
- 隱隱感到稍為稔熟的同學們開始不喜歡我，感覺是如此差勁...... 不論你選擇繼續扮nice與否，我在你面前都一樣難受。
而他們根本不會輕易改觀。

HAPPY TODAY
- 《告白》該是這年最投入的觀影經驗了。節奏處理得非常準確；即使全片幾乎都由獨白帶出，仍有大量豐富的畫面作平衡。羅生門的處理，劇情瘋狂卻受控，不至於可笑不合理。最欣賞少用血腥，改而描繪人物心理，一樣令人心寒。
- 「又話唔做怕醜仔？」「係囉！」
Jengua 你已在 facebook status 公開宣誓了！ - 在209 與Crystal +各位重溫......
其實朋友在你面前播他認為好好聽（而你卻不認同）的歌實在是難受的事... 再口直心快也難以開口說「好難聽，唔好迫我聽啦！」
可換了是自己，還是忍不住放！ - WOW... JACKPOT!!!!!!
- 我有點相信吸引力法則！但又沒作什麼大膽嘗試呀！哎呀，我感到幸運之神在說：你個淆底獸破壞信用了...... 上天請再賜我機會 pleaseeee... PLEASE... PLEEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!!!!
之後，命運便在我手！！ - 然後今晚好愉快好愉快，跟幾個中同吃晚飯，那些對答笑死我，
錢：「李ｘ鋒你收埋左邊個喺你個袋度？」
爺：「周秀娜！」
李：「邊裝得落人呀？！」
爺：「攬枕！周秀娜攬枕！」
錢：「你唔戴眼鏡當堂順眼左喎！」
李：「我唔戴眼鏡望你都順眼左！」
錢說這些很warm。我也挺嚮往這種友誼。
望穿秋水，終於有一次談至深夜時分。很感激有這麼一個同伴，快十年了。
