Michael Scofield

Suddenly I like to know more about the actor playing Michael Scofield in Prison Break. He is Wentworth Miller. His eyes are so so so attractive. In fact, his father is half African American, one quarter English and one quarter Jewish, while his mother is of French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese descent. But his skin color does not reveal his African race. Some people said that his two eyes are of different colors. But I seldom can see his eyes directly. So, I can't tell...

Wentworth Miller was born on June 2, 1972 in Chipping Norton, England. He has acted in Mariah Carey's music videos, "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together".

I think he looked great in the MTV.


When my husband travelled in Seoul, he saw a casualwear shop selling T-shirts modelled by Wentworth. The brand is Bean Pole International.

工作

在職場上,有人力爭上游,有人純粹呃飯食,有人盡力做好呢份工,有人嘻哈渡日.有人一份工做好耐,有人年靚兩年就轉一份工.有人靠不斷轉工來增加薪金/升職,有人默默耕耘在工作上取得成功感.有人常常怨自己份人工是below standard,有人對公司的加薪心存感激.
現在公司的同事來自很不同的背景和國家,各人想在這份工上取得的東西都很不同.不過management完全沒有align各人的personal agenda,人的turnover rate亦很高,但偶爾也有幾個同事是做了二十多年的.

我有三個team-mates,特徵如下:
1. 老但工作年資短,為人無責任感,純粹呃飯食,係人叫佢做嘢都先同人argue點解要做.已經有很多個degree但仍然讀緊書,日日六點(或以前)必走,全靠肯幫啲女同事擔擔抬抬賣人情帳才生存至今,完全係email forwarder.無份工做得長,除了現在這份(this reminds me of the "Monster" cartoon, once the "Monster" finds a good place to stay, it will pretend to be "normal" and hide his identity)成日同人講話現在份工浪費了他的talents<--好嘔心,佢又秘密地安排緊轉team,不過以佢的英文水平和為人,都幾難有其他team接收佢.
2. 加國回流,腦的轉數較慢,好似好知人情世故,但有時佢問的問題仍然令別人感到很奇怪和尷尬.為人圓滑,與高層/老外有傾有講,常常唔係位,coffee break特多,被#1話過很多次仍然無改善,無厘醒目,日日例牌遲放工,但係唔知點解佢要咁遲,似係要揼波鐘,唔講真係以為佢好多嘢做,其實係日頭好少埋位做嘢,眼光咸濕.明明做開network,唔知點解要回流返來做寫report.
3. 為人醒目,沒有太大問題.不過每份工都做唔長.都未做夠一年,已經plan咗去荷蘭總部做另一team.浪費了之前hire和train佢的人的心機.

就我觀察,以上三個人都做唔長.無耐無耐又無耐.

感想

有人成立了反聖經的網站,最近亦因中大學生報事件令這個網站"很受歡迎".
看了一點該網站的layout,網主很像聖經中的使徒保羅,現在正處於"掃羅的階段",在逼迫基督徒.
他其實在大前題上做了一個極錯誤的假設,以致他在整個網站內"挑戰"聖經的內容的立論很弱.
他用了很多方法去令人覺得他是一個很懂聖經的人,令人要信服他其他的批評都是有根有據的.
但是他錯誤地假設了基督教是要導人向善和信耶穌是令人生活無憂和完全不再犯罪.
事實上,只是非基督徒話基督教是一個導人向善的"宗教".但對基督徒來說,我們不是在選擇一個宗教,
而我們其實只是確認上帝就是主宰,聖經就是真理. This is a fact.
No matter God's characters are difficult to understand or sometimes people
feel that He is so mean, it is something that we have to accept. It is a
fact cannot be changed. 所謂"導人向善"其實只是信了耶穌後的一個possible outcome.
信上帝不代表會一切順利,如果係咁,咪等於當上帝是"黃大仙"?基督徒的生活亦會遇到很多試煉和試探.
看看藝人陳敏兒/廖啟智,劉美娟/張崇德,梁藝玲的遭遇都已經夠震撼了."神未曾應許天色常藍"
基督教的信仰建基於世人都犯了罪,要透過耶穌被釘死在十字架上及我們接受這救恩而得救.
從來無人話過信了就不會再有罪.
該網主在聖經中斷章取義,立論只基於某章某節,完全沒上文下理可言,
就等於在法庭上只憶述某些獨立懷疑相關事件,但無法把它們串起來成為有力證供.
我發了電郵給他:
標題:願主祝福你
自始祖開始,世人都犯了罪,但上帝愛我們每一位,只要信祂便得救
願主的愛有一天臨到你,我怕你會像保羅一樣,變成一個比一般基督徒更有能力的使徒呢!
--
希望用以德報怨的方式去感動他,而不是去說上帝會懲罰他.

第四次去首爾公幹



Seoul is wonderful for travelling in May. The flowers blossom and the sun shines brightly. I feel so good (even when I have come back). This time, the trip is a bit different, as it may be my last business trip to Seoul under ABN AMRO entity. If merger will be successful, who knows whether I will still support Korea. So, my Korean colleagues and I have the feeling of "saying goodbye" after this encounter.

This time, I have a guest joining me. This is good for both of us. But we missed to do a few things: having the grill eel meal and going to JJ @ Grant Hyatt. Anyway, we experienced many wonderful developments in Seoul and were surprised at how Seoul is trying hard to make itself an international city.

If I don't have the language barrier, maybe I would enjoy working in Seoul. Anyway, I think I am a pure Hong Kong person who loves to breathe the Hong Kong air so much.









































Goodbye to my friends in Seoul!
