1. 懂不懂用/聘人，明顯有層次高低之分。今年見過低的也見過高的。
2. 總有路走。不要只看到自己的限制及機會的流失。要有盼望，很多時只是時間的問題而已。
3. 知足很重要。
4. 原來我很上心？是網友說的。
5. 近日都有在tumblr上放上是日午餐的相片。

Random Five
1. 大家係咪好耐無聽到有關七友嘅消息呢？ 琴晚我地終於有飯局喇，都成三四個月無見。各人都好，老闆同我都有少少同感，就係宜家工作+生活好似留學時代咁，好忙，又樣樣都自己攪掂哂。
2. 以前夜一夜先瞓，宜家超早起身。
3. 忽然打風，忽然轉涼。
4. 我又肥了... >_<
5. 去過Cova多次不過好似無試過佢個tea buffet。好友提議去一試，唔鹹點選擇少，唔係好抵...

不過寫寫
很難才有時間上來寫點東西貼貼文了，做到這些又完成不了那些。
這種景象，相信很難再會出現，無論世界任何一個角落。
NARBONNE, France—1969.
火車站及月台永遠都給人浪漫的感覺。它總比機場或碼頭浪漫及有意境。其實我一直都愛搭火車，穿州過省那種。
近日的slate.com Today's Pictures:
Fall Colors
Autumn leaves, 1989.
LOS ANGELES—Pershing Square.
In late summer, the unemployed fill the benches of the square with their old hats on, their collars tight around their necks, as though they sense the beginning of autumn and the coming of winter. They read the wanted ads, the sports papers, the illustrated magazines and reassure themselves, perhaps, that there really is some comfort, some hope, 1946.

Broadsheets and Tabloids最喜歡秋天，尤其是又紅又黃的葉。

又來澳門
沒想到竟然有時間/機會三十天內去了兩次澳門。不過這次經驗告訴我們，以後最好不要星期二來，因為很多食肆都是星期二休息的。又或我們很喜歡的大排檔原來下午三時多才營業，不過賣完便閂檔的了，分分鐘每天只做數小時生意。人家真懂生活。
星期二的下午一共摸了三四次門釘，開玩笑說這天真沒有食神!
原來許久沒光顧的氹仔大利來記豬扒包星期二是休息的。門口寫著威斯丁及大三巴的則都有營業。於是浪費了八十多元的士車資，然後跑去威斯丁，可惜吃了個又貴又難吃的豬扒包，包是冷的!
要求弄熱店員竟然不太願意。
離開澳門前去了多人介紹的海灣餐廳，這間我們倒從未光顧過，食物不錯，不過乳豬一般。
炭燒魚。
這個芫茜魷魚很開胃，英文menu倒是Squid with vinegar，沒有提到芫茜的。
因為整天都在吃，第一晚又已經吃了很喜歡的葡菜，所以這晚只吃了這些(還要打包回家再吃)，甜品則叫了個餅乾慕斯(木糠布甸)，不過我覺得我姊弄好吃很多了。
說回我們的酒店，是出發前在碼頭即時訂的，這回揀了價錢不錯的Ponte 16(十六浦)，包早餐。早餐是自助餐形式，竟然有香檳! 看到鄰桌自由行男士一口氣拿了四杯...
款式很多，還有macaroon。
第一晚還趕及到舊葡京的樂宮餐廳吃梳乎厘，有人覺得比太平館的更好吃。蛋味比較重。

One Day 情約一天
其實入影院時連"One Day"是哪個演員擔綱也不清楚。昨天有網友留言問我看了沒有，我只好像略略聽過有此片，因為近日太忙，什麼也不知道。電影差不多開場時我才用手機上網看看imdb，知道是Anne Hathaway飾演。電影改編自同名暢銷小說。
從來對Anne Hathaway沒有好感，亦不喜歡她，不過又好像看過不少她有份演出的電影只覺得她眼鼻口都過大，樣貌一點都不吸引。演技嘛，又不算特別出眾。
此片看的是情節、故事，噢，當然Jim Sturgess也蠻帥。
電影從1988年說到2011年。由男女主角大學畢業真正認識那天開始，直到這個年代。1988當然我還未念大學，不過電影中有一點我有極大共鳴的是Emma(Anne Hathaway)的兩套服飾。她和不太喜歡的男孩上街時的那條花裙加牛仔褸，正正是我在美國讀大學時曾經穿著的款式。還有她那件藍色旗袍，我看到時簡直感到驚訝，因為大學畢業禮時我就是穿了一件藍色旗袍(比Anne穿的長一點)。
算是一個令人傷感的愛情故事。(spoiler alert)
我哭了四遍:
1. 當Emma和Dexter見面後Emma對Dexter非常失望。"I still love you, so much. But I don't like you anymore."
2. 當Dexter離婚後到法國找Emma時，她已經有個jazz musician的法國男朋友。Dexter不想和他倆一起見面，獨自遠遠望著Emma與Jean-Pierre時。
3. 悲傷欲絕的Dexter和父親一起渡過七月十五日的晚上。父親說: 你要每一天都像Emma仍在身邊一樣的活下去... 你看，過去十年我不是一樣這樣過?
4. Dexter和女兒跑上小山丘，那個當年他和Emma在"那一天"的小山丘。
很不錯的愛情故事。不過也有人覺得初段很老套，沒有新意。又覺得老外又怎會有這些細水長流的單純友情(最後轉化為愛情)的故事。即使不喜歡Anne Hathaway，我也非常推薦這齣電影。

後記: 那個舊同學"搶人老婆"的一段也真的非常殘忍。末段只覺得男主角極度命苦。還有從當年叱吒娛樂圈到後來要在舊同學的公司幹活，果真令人沮喪。有時現實真的是一盆又一盆冷水撥過來的。
還有還有，原來導演Lone Scherfig(來自丹麥)前作有"An Education"。那看來An Education成績及深度比此片高一點了。
電影中畫面最美的一幕是黃昏時分二人酒後裸泳，很喜歡日落時天空的紫。
也喜歡用了廿多年的打字機和MacBook，雖然有點刻意，也反映了情感經歷了多個年頭。
Rotten Tomatoes只有37%。
