TEE: Teki Editorial Everywhere

I attended 30th Anniversary Concert of Albert Au (區瑞強) last evening. He is not hit but his folksongs are long lasting. They are relaxing and make audiences think of the past. They have attracted many Hong Kong people who lived in the Golden Days of Hong Kong (80s - 90s). ．．． 朋友 不要淚垂 人生本多失意 競爭 開始了 追不到也是要追 ．．． Albert Au said he knew many artists, who got to the peak of career but have become legends, within thirty years. He is right. So does Hong Kong. After Cold War, the world goes peaceful. The united Germany and the capitalized China have become stronger and stronger. Nations which lands are small with small population would have less competitiveness. Hong Kong will join the fast track if it is fully embeded into the growth of the Greater China Region, otherwise just becomes the memory of the last century. From the full booking of his concert, it seems that many people would still prefer memory rather go ahead. So does the prospect of Hong Kong.

昨晚順手粘來舍妹新買回來的一本圖文並茂的畫冊，一看便愛不釋手，花了一整晚把它讀完。這本便是「大和貓的台灣留學日記」。 這本圖書既不是資訊性的留學指南，也不是流水帳般的個人見聞，而是就留學以來的個人感受的記錄小品。這篇作品可謂觀於微，習於常，思於沉，感於深．田中文子小姐把生活上的平凡不顯眼的瑣碎事情，從有趣的角度，以可愛的圖畫，令讀者會意於神，微笑於心。內容講述什麼？不如閣下到書局買一本回家吧，或者可以到該書的 網誌 看一看。 這是蘋果日報於第十五屆台北國際書展訪問作者的新聞照。這一位可愛的女生開宗明義寫下：「 想要改變人生．．． 」 您也有改變自己人生的夢想和勇氣嗎？

I visited Tamar Development Exhibition of Design Proposals in the government office this Friday. To collect the public opinion, the HKSAR government organizes that exhibition of tenderers instead of a design competition. I think it would be a good control but a bad approach because of the limit of public participation. After browsing (studying four proposals within half an hour is difficult) four designs, I guessed that they mainly follow a set of guidelines, which may be Politics Openness Environmental Friendliness Public Participation International Image On the other hand, they do not seem good product designs because they likely ignore the top priority of people. If a product design is not people-oriented, it will be thrown into a bin. Considering the predefined guidelines, I suggest that the tenderers should be concerned with the following parties rather than just provide conceptual appearances: Government Officers Legislative Councillors Citizens Foreigners Each design contains so...

I am a HIP (hidden, inactive and passive) member. I had looked for any suitable activity, so I attended the gathering last Saturday. There were three guests to talk about investment in personnal opinions instead of standard words. This is the irreplaceable value of a private gathering. The first guest was a broker. He began with introduction of investment theories. In his opinion, investing in stock is like multi-level marketing. When a stock releases, an investor buys and introduces it to another. The second investors buys it and the stock price increases. And so on, until no following investor buys it to support the stock price and the price drops. This figure simply explained the relationship between the cash flow of the market and the stock price. The second guest was a reporter. Being a reporter, he has experienced many issues under table. He identified unstated relationships amongst various parties such as the authories, the academics, mass media, institutional investors and smal...

上星期在西洋菜南街行人專用區遇到 好戲量 的街頭宣傳。我接過他們的宣傳單張，介紹重演的 「吉蒂與死人頭」 。這齣講述一對男女曖昧地徘徊友誼與愛情之間的話劇，不禁觸動我懷緬過去的神經，於是今天我便入場欣賞。 因為這一齣算是實驗劇，所以應該理解其佈景，音樂，燈光等硬件不會很細緻。我只會從對白，情節和思想三個大方向分析該劇。 潘惠森先生曾說這齣話劇之所以吸引他是它的語言運用。這一點我是贊同的，因為楊秉基先生確實成功地把時下年青人的語言融入話劇對白和表達的思想，令年青的觀眾更不期然地代入劇中情境，自然地產生共鳴。 情節符合三一律也是該劇成功的一個因素。時間只是一晚之內，地點只發生在甜品店，演出只有吉蒂與死人頭之間的一條主線，這使觀眾更容易理解劇情，留心人物的心理變化。然而，該劇未能夠把握三一律所給予的時間空間的制約，未有把更細緻的描述，更深層次的感觸放入劇情之內，反而浪費於描述兩人友好的玩樂之中，但是其玩樂只局限他倆之間的獨特回憶，觀眾未必能夠領略他倆的快樂之處。另一方面，主角的心理變化是該劇的最重要的環節。可惜他倆的心理變化看來不像一天之內能夠發生的事情，被放在三一律的框架下便有點突兀。 思想是該劇的另一個致命傷。從開頭到結尾，主角都高喊著「溝通」二字，似乎溝通是劇中衝突所在。我看不見簡單的高喊有什麼說服力，未有進一步的探討和帶出不同角度的觀點，使其二字變得無力和流於空泛。再著，作為過來人，我有理由指出溝通不是其衝突的主要原因，相信其它觀眾也不會同意這個作為該劇的重點。另一方面，該劇的開放式結局給予觀眾的思考空間實在太小，似乎未能夠把衝突成因，心理變化和結局發展三者串連緊扣，未能夠形成一個清晰的中心主題。 我覺得吉蒂與死人頭的結局應該如何？
