2009/3/29 天璽 公園276年，吳國 王 孫皓，定年號為，天璽。 天璽，九龍站上蓋全港第一高住宅樓盤，本月開盤熱賣。樓盤最高樽270米，91-93層單位命名為“至高無上”，包括面積4000尺左右的套房，一方私家泳池以及面積2000尺的樓頂花園。其餘樓層套間面積800至2000尺不等，平均尺价2万起。 2009/3/16 Arguements on A New Performance Evaluation PolicyA new performance evaluation policy for the university staff is a hot topic recently. Open discussions gave rise to various interesting comments on it. I quoted some of them in the following. "People at different stages in their careers will contribute differently. Also, MOST people are “outstanding” in only EITHER research OR teaching. Of course, the management will say that some people are “outstanding” in both—but how many?? Are we ONLY going to reward these FEW supermen and superwomen, and PUNISH the vast majority who do well in one or both but are NOT “outstanding”?" "Staffs with different ranks should be rated differently. It is difficult to understand why a chair professor and an assistant professor are evaluated with the same set of criteria and even with the same standard. If we have the same expectations on a chair professor and an assistant professor, then why we pay much higher salary to a chair professor than an assistant professor! " "Many staff will be endangered not because of their idleness but unfair allocation of resources. They want to work hard but do not have sufficient resources to do so. Staff working in the university identified areas such as nano-engineering, material engineering, antenna, electronic engineering, etc have more research students than those working in humanity, social sciences, etc. It's well known that many CSE staffs have more than 10 ongoing PhD students. How can staff working in College of Business and CHSS compete with them? How can they have resources to accomplish comparable performance? The allocation of PhDs has never been queried as the whole exercise is in a black box and does not allow any external review and comment, though seemingly it's fair and open. The allocation of research student places to different areas was determined few years ago without any appropriate and sufficient consultation. It's the outcome of a cake split.This is a totally absurd exercise! It only shows the weaknesses of greed and desire in our management. " "It is not just about PBPR, but the overall drifting of
vision and mission of the university (who wants to be top 100? This is not a
privately owned university but one for everyone, it is not about whether the
goal is realistic or not, it is about whether it is a common goal or not), the
lack of care about students and staff (senior management cares nothing about
students and their staff at all…all the recent management actions have highly
demoralized faculty and staff members and harmed the well-being of students),
the bureaucratic management (everything here is top-down and unreasonable), the
quality of leadership/management (the leadership is not there, we deserve a
better president and management), the unfairness of the performance measurement
system (when do we become a commodity and priced according to the market?) I am
indeed disappointed and regretful about being a faculty member in this
university. Should I have a choice, I would never have joined this terrible
place. This is no longer a university, but a jungle full of wild cannibals." Boast of QuietnessWritings of light assault the darkness, more prodigious than meteors. 宁静的自得 - （作者）豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯
光明的文字划过黑暗，比流星更为神奇。 认不出来的城市在田野上显得更为高大。
我确信自己生死有命，瞅着那些野心勃勃的人，
试着对他们有所了解。
他们的白天像空中旋舞的套索那么贪婪。
他们的夜晚是刀剑愤怒的间隙，随时准备攻击。
他们侈谈人性。
我的人性在于感到我们都是同一贫乏的声音。
他们侈谈祖国。
我的祖国是吉他的搏动，几帧照片和一把旧剑。
傍晚时柳树林清晰的祈祷。
时间将我消耗。
我比自己的影子更寂静，穿过纷纷扰扰的贪婪。
他们是必不可少的，唯一的，明天的骄子。
我的名字微不足道。
我款款而行，有如来自远方而不存到达希望的人 2009/3/9 吹過熱情海岸的一陣涼風今晚超過2小時的小野麗莎BOSSA NOVA經典50年 演唱會，聽到許多耳熟能詳的鍾愛老歌。
BOSSA NOVA音樂誕生于熱情四溢的巴西，音樂注重韻律節拍，表演時可即興發揮，聽衆很容易跟隨美妙音樂搖擺身體，有點像JAZZ但比JAZZ要親和、歡快。
小野麗莎今晚開場的第一只曲目就是著名的‘伊帕内馬女孩’(A Girl from Ipanema)，她輕輕柔柔的嗓音唱著。像吹過熱情海岸的一陣涼風，不經意的，也許會睡着，然後做一個甜甜的夢。不過，在今晚的音樂廳，我沒有睡着，一邊沉浸在歌曲裏，眼前看到的是一片夕陽餘暉下平靜起伏的深藍色的海。据說同去的朋友趁著音樂小睡了片刻:P
Encore時段，小野麗莎用不錯的國語演唱了鄧麗君的‘夜來香’和張學友‘朋友阿我永遠祝福你’。

Bossa Nova 東方天后．小野麗莎 1958年，巴西三個天才藝術家走在一起，奏出了一首Chega de Saudade (《不再憂傷》)。Bossa nova這種懶洋洋的浪漫音樂微風，開始吹向全世界。此後bossa nova像一種揮之不去的情懷，青春不老的傳奇，在每個角落落地生根。2008年，bossa nova 50周年，熱潮席捲全世界，香港藝術節加入慶祝行列，邀請亞洲天后小野麗莎，向bossa nova致敬。 小野麗莎憑着而柔軟甜美、高貴而活潑和暖的唱腔，伴着輕輕撥響結他弦線，深得bossa nova音樂神韻，走紅日本以至世界各地。2007年她憑着唱片《Jambalaya - Bossa Americana》連續兩年拿下日本「年度最佳爵士專輯」，在上海爵士周開幕的兩場個唱，門票被樂迷搶購一空。 自小生長在bossa nova故鄉的巴西，耳濡目染之下，小野麗莎15歲便拿起結他哼唱。她與波薩諾伐之父Antonio Carlos Jobim一起灌錄唱片，合作無間，將bossa nova之風帶到亞洲以至全世界。 2009/3/6 知识启蒙和人的良知之間是否有強的相關性？Kate Winslet 憑藉[The reader]（生死朗讀）電影中前納粹奧斯威辛集中營女看守角色，漢娜，獲得奧斯卡最佳女演員獎。故事似乎想說，一個沒有接受過知識啓蒙、不識字的人，因不具備人的良知而犯下罪行，之後通過閲讀反思，獲得良心譴責上的。這個詮釋反而讓我覺得是在為罪行尋找藉口。無法認同。
知识启蒙和人的良知之間是否有強的相關性？ 如果是因爲漢娜不識字、沒有接受過教育、沒有讀過文學著作，就該接受她喪失良知、機械化的堅守一個奧斯威辛集中營看守的職責？一個人起碼的人性、一點同情、一點善良、一點愛，沒有從社會活動、人與人的交往中體驗獲得，只有通過去認字、認知、接受教化後醒悟？ 這種詮釋是不是帶有知識分子精英意識的偏見？
電影的中段，法庭上的辯白，課堂上法學教授和學生間開放式的研討更讓人印象深刻。聯係到原著作者Bernhard Schlink的大學法學教授和法官的背景，反而覺得電影更有力度的内容是在探討對於一種“人類集體罪行”----通過戰爭、革命、思潮的形式，一個利益集團的人類對另一個利益集團的人類施以暴行----法律的可執行性？相對于大時代變革中的集體性人性扭曲、價值觀歪曲，遊戲規則被重新定義了？相對狹義的法律該如何對那些直接或間接參與協助製造人類災難的普通民衆定罪？ |
