譯名

Cate Blanchett 點解會俾人譯做卡塔布蘭切???是以國語音譯嗎？不知所謂，叫姬白蘭雪咪好地地。(好像是黃偉文的譯音)

香港的英文名字譯音其實一向有水準，準靚短，好似畢彼特，就好過台灣譯的布萊特彼德，又長又難寫。回歸以後，是否因為要跟國內的新聞劃一，所以要以國內音譯為準？

譯名是要有文學修養的吧，你看邁克及亦舒等的譯名，都比報紙新聞的譯得好。你知道有位女星叫夏綠蒂藍萍嗎，多美麗的名字。

回來

已經從加拿大回來。最後一日的旅程是到溫哥華，一個美麗的大城市。以旅行的角度，是它比clagary好一點吧，因為我只用了一天便行了多個旅遊點，這樣短的時間，當然只看到好的一面。

星期六一早起身趕到機場，原來溫哥華是非常大霧的，早上八時的能見度仍是低於十米。飛機起飛後向地面看，看見整個Edmonton及機場區都在一大舊雲之中，可謂奇景。

回到香港，已是星期日晚上7時。奇怪的時差。

剛剛在聽黃耀明的「阿姆斯特丹」，有一些背景音樂總像在我身後發出，不知道如何做到。用手機聽的時候沒有這個感覺。

為什麼要在我身後發出呢？是模仿駕駛時汽車音響的效果吧？仰或只是我的電腦speaker出錯呢？

Day 5+6

Day 5 was a trip to Edmonton, a town that near Calgary, the cheif twon of Alberta. I say "near" but it's a 3 hours trip on the high way, my bf have to drove at 130-140 kmh so that we can reach the big big West Edmonton Mall. As its solgan said "the biggest indoor shopping mall on earth", I do believe it is. There is a amusement park, a swimming park with artifical sea wave and a mini theater for the sea lion in the mall, puls of course hundreds of shops inside.



We brought a sand bottle from "Sand man" (that is the name on the name card!). Originally we only want a bottle that have our names on it with no pictures on the back, as it would out of our buget. But the artist finally gave us a very beautiful bottle with a sand picture on the back and our names. He siad it is the art that we should pay attention to and he do that to show his art. We pay him the original price we agree on: only with the names. What a nice man he is!! I recommend everyone to buy a sand bottle from him, to keep his art alife. (And please pay him what he should deserve.)

My bf was so tired on the way back. He had a cup of coffee and still feel slepy and so he slept in the car for a while at Red Deer, a town in the middle of Edmonton and Calgary. We finally arrived Calgary at 10:30. There was not much restature still working so we had dinner at the Mc Donal. There were only 4 staff in the whole shop but serving quite a lot of people. While we were having the food, one of the staff there suddently became very angry about another staff and he shouted, "I QUITE!" at the manager. The manager tried to presude him not to leave for a while. I do not know the final result, as we had finished the meal and have to leave. People said it is very hard to hire people to work in Calgary now, as there are too many jobs to choose: Calgary's economy has been boosting over the past 1 to 2 years, as there are oil near them.

The next day was also a trip in town. As the finally day in Calgary, we had dinner with bf's old friend at a chinese restauture and had tea with another friend at "Sky".

Day4

Since day 3 is such an exciting day, we got very tired afterwards. My bf had to drink coffee on the way back to keep him awake. We slept for soooooooo long: we get up at 2:00pm on the other day!!


After a meal in a hong kong style restuature, we went to see those famous big chain stores, Wal * Mart, Home Depo, Canadian Tires and IKEA. They were all VERY big and clean. We also visit bf's ex-employer John and chatted for a while.





Had dinner in a very nice restauture, Joye Tomato's. I thought there were only tomatos dishes but it turned out with many other choices :P We had a bule chees fries for attipezer (?), a steak for him and a lobster ravioli for me. I like the source of my dish very much and his steak was good too. the spagetti in his dish wasn't so tasety though.

Day 2 + Day 3

Life is like that, you cannot really do something you want to. I cannot login in yesterday so I had to write day2 and day 3 together.

Day 2 was basically a trip in town. We went to Racecity see Anthony race on snow, I got a chance to sit in a trip with anthony's friend. It was very exciting, the speed was about 30-50 km/h but the feeling was !!!!!!! Then we went to the Chinook Mall to have lunch. Then the China town, "New Asia" mall and the down town. Had tea with bf's old friend in the China town, a place called "B boy dessert"<--Just like in Yuen Long. Some places was so beatiful and yet I cannot rememeber their names! Had dinner in a Italian restaurant. We planned to go to the casino t ohave a look and yet the guy in the front door said I have to show the passport!! So went back to home and rest.

DAy 3 was exciting. We went to Banff!! It was a national park and the Rocky Monutains are located here. I saw real heavy snowing!!!! And Lake Lousie. it was sooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!!

And I brought a TY Pooky in Banff, hahah

Day 1

So I have arrvived Calgary, after 2 hours + 10 hours + 1.5 hours being on the plant and about 6 hours of waiting in the YVR airport. I cannot slept on the plane casue the oone sitting next to me keep call me not to sleep and play with him >_< But I did not have much time-lag, and I can now sleep and wake up at the correct time here.

The sence on plant were wonderful and yet I cannot take pic when landing so......

亦舒新小說：愛倩慢慢殺死你

買了最新的亦舒小說，而且經已看完。原本我也只是想打書釘把整本書看完，但昨天只看了數十頁便差點兒哭出來，一邊看下去亦一邊覺得需要購買：要不斷的提醒自己呀！

內容寫家庭暴力，而最主要的是寫女性受她所愛的男士所虐。當然也有亦舒一貫的中心思想：女性必須經濟獨立，不要依賴男性在經濟上的支持，才會真正有幸福。這小說，似乎比真實更真實。今天其中一新聞便是：瑪麗見習醫生打女友或釘牌。

亦舒萬歲。

明天會到加拿大旅行，為期一星期，希望可以每天都寫下沿途的點滴。

選

即將開學的最後一個學期，我只需要讀四科，其中三科都是三個小時的純Lecture(冇tutorial!)，故我只需上兩天的學。除了希望找到Part time外，亦希望可以免費地學一種外語，例如西班牙文。

在選擇的時候，我找到以下幾科令我想入非非的科目：
Oral Skills<---擺明車馬
Oral Skills in Japanese II<---正呀，日本風格，仲要係進階添!

好想去

青瓜三文治

看The importance of being earnest (定Ernest?)的時候，看到這一味「青瓜三文治」，當時被認為是「好豪」的下午茶。到現在我仍不知道，只不過是青瓜三文治，可以有幾豪？ 恐怕是有英式下午茶的某種特質吧，每次看見那些英國交換生﹐都沒有問過這個問題。

世上好人總比壞人多．願2007是好年

其實寫的是已經是上年冬至(十二月二十二)的事。

當日一家到小欖燒烤樂園慶祝，回程時我把銀包遺在小巴。
我知道的時候，那一輛小巴已經離開。我從小巴站上的行程表知道，我乘坐小巴的車牌號碼是772。然後我詣問每一個開同一行程的小巴司機，想知道他們可不可以聯絡該772司機。原來772是特別加班車，平時的司機不會有他的聯絡方法。這個資料，是其中一個等待的乘客告訴我的，她知道我遺失銀包，所以致電她同樣開這一行程的父親。
卒之給我問到一個認識772司機的司機，他答應我會致電772司機，替我留意是否會找到。他亦告訴我，車應該會在一小後會回來。

我在車站等了一個小時，772終於回來。我在車上找到我放在手袋的潤唇膏及潤手霜，可是沒有我的銀包。
原來司機一早已找到，他說是一位乘客找到交給他的。我看一看，銀包中的所有卡片都在，亦沒有遣失任何金錢。

所有人都說我這次真的「好好彩」。一程車到屯門，一程車回青衣，所有人都認為應該已經被人拾了回去，在車站等都冇用。
當然，好彩是一個因素。我寧願相信因為香港好人多，路不拾遣。乘客及司機都是好人。那個為我聯絡772司機的司機是好人，那個等待中的乘客是好人，所有因為我上小巴找銀包而遲了上車的乘客都是好人。甚至連小巴的管理公司我也感激，沒有他們我不會知道該小巴是772。 (還有母親及男朋友我也感激。)

遇上好人不難。
