生氣時，最佳方法就是如昨晚一樣，寫一篇文來媽叉一下。
更有建設性的事情，就是到Wikipedia 的中文版，隨便找一篇有關香港事務的小文章來開刀，維基百科的編文首則是中肯，避免中國中心、台灣中心和香港中心，偏偏有關香港事務以至中國歷史，通常會有「祖國」，「我國」等中國中心字眼，平日就隻眼開隻眼閉，心情差時會一口氣把「祖國」「我國」等統統改為「中國」或「中華人民共和國」，只因為是字眼上的轉變，文章大意不會被破壞，既可把中國中心去除，亦可發洩一下情緒。

上小學前我是住在成安村，後來才搬上澳貝龍村。成安村的記憶很稀疏，只記得住成安村時，曾在浴室地滑，跌斷手，兩次！！！又有一次跌斷手後，行路只顧著和對面的鄰居打招呼，一不小心，差錯腳，跌落水渠，要由鄰居救起，傷上加傷。
受惠於當時港督尤德爵士的德政，澳貝龍村以至聖十字徑村一帶村路，政府曾大肆修葺，小路修成水泥路，有危險的山坡鋪了水泥，還劃分了不少空地，我們一班村童平日玩樂的地盤由家門前小平台變成數個籃球場大的空地，可謂通山跑的野孩子也。看張五常寫，1938 年澳貝龍村已有十數戶人家，我也不知自己住過的村原來有幾十年歷史。
澳貝龍村就在康怡花園的山後，從前叔叔會帶我去行山，由西灣河行到太古汽水廠，之後再步行回家。我很喜歡跟叔叔，因為每次叔叔總要行前一點，看看前面有沒有路，有次我們經過一個水塘，那裡還有人在露營。有次看到山上巨石，驚訝不而，而且走入巨石後面，竟然別有洞天，有個小水塘在後面，實在好玩！
後來衛奕信來港上任，他亦曾經到訪聖十字徑村，由於太多人圍觀，我們根本看不到督爺的風采，只是，在他微服出巡前一星期，聖十字徑村曾作百年罕見的「消防演習」，不過街坊們卻說政府只是想沖洗一下聖十字徑村的大明渠。
1989 年政府收地起公屋，我們獲派柴灣的公屋，自此一直住在柴灣，當時柴灣碼頭應該是停止運作了吧？但船運時間表仍可見到，小西灣更是神秘之地，爺爺說那裡是英軍駐地，有次跟叔叔行山，也看到類似兵營的小屋，大呼犀利！
在網上找找澳貝龍村，找到香港地方 的網站，消失的地方一頁曾提到澳貝龍村和成安村。

數年前張五常曾在生果日報的專欄寫童年回憶，他的祖屋於1938 年蓋，在西灣河奧背龍村，是一座好大的石屋，上的小學是永光小學。
在今期壹週刊，他又寫了這段童年回憶，我唸小學的六年就是住在澳背龍村，同樣我也是唸永光小學，我是永光小學最後一屆畢業生，張的祖屋在我家附近，因為外在高高的圍牆，重門深鎖，從外邊看只望到大樹數棵，庭園深深，我們一班村童稱做鬼屋，唸幼稚園高班那年，無線電視來鬼屋取景拍劇，來了位男演唱任達華，他更在我的英文書title page 簽了大名，教我興奮了一晚，翌日回校曬命！我跟街坊順道入了鬼屋看拍戲，可惜人太多，不能入鬼屋探險，這也是我踏足鬼屋範圍的第一次和最後一次。
猶記得試過好多次聽完鬼故後，我不敢獨個兒行經回家必經的鬼屋，那條小路又黑又長，一邊行一邊提心吊膽，又不敢跟別人說，真是有苦自己知！鬼故內容嘛，說從前住了一伙人，被滅門，所以陰魂不散，又或是從前有個女人穿紅衣在屋內懸梁自盡，自此屋內常有哭聲傳出…..
怎麼想也想不到，十多年後得悉原來鬼屋是張先生的祖屋！
Forget about it. It is really quite simple. I don’t recognize the problem which you ascribe to me. If it is a problem, it isn’t mine. If there is indeed a problem, it must be yours since you’re the one who stuck on it. But I don’t know if you indeed have a problem, just speculation.
I think you’re small and stupid, self-righteous and phony…but again, that’s not my problem. I live a good life…a happy life…a full life. There are no disgruntled people whom are part of my life….but there are plenty of disgruntled people whom are NOT part of my life. I prefer it that way. I don’t bind myself to your false moral code, so what? You’re just another pretentious phony trying to control the world.
Gee….thanks for that.

Sin City: ★★★★ ½
The movie was unlike anything I’ve ever seen…tons of violence and nudity… this movie rocks!!
Powers Boothe, Rutger Hauer, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Michael Madsen and Benicio Del Toro and Michael Clarke Duncan. All in the same freakin movie!
Nobody plays the wounded lion character better than Mickey Rourke, he pretty much IS that guy, in more ways than one. Larger than life, and more honest than any other Hollywood actor. There’s a reason why any so-called “tough guy” in the industry looks up to him like some kind of saint. It’s so good to see him get a major part again, he deserves gigs like SIN CITY. Elijah Wood playing a ‘not cute’ character (though he can’t help looking like a creepy Harry Potter).
Anyway - the movie is incredible looking, and REALLY nasty gore/violence (even if mostly in blue-tint filtered monochrome). Strong cast who seem to slot into their roles perfectly, a twisted nasty little story - and it looks like no other movie shot, ever.
I’m looking forward to the DVD to see all the extras making ofs/etc.
Sin City Awards:
Best Story: The Hard Goodbye
Best Actor: Mickey Rourke
Best Actress: Rosario Dawson
Best Supporting Actor: Elijah Wood

捐了十億，還要被人揶揄，唉！
早前了了居講開豪宅名稱跋扈，前日看到豪宅的名字 - 名門，看看位置，呵！是「大坑名門」，哈哈！
下次玩大富翁，我也要以自己的名字為豪宅命名，叫「瓊」吞天下，酒店叫「瓊樓玉宇」，看誰的名字比我更誇。

Batman Begins: ★★★★☆
Christopher Nolan nailed it! The script is a little heavy handed on the whole “use fear” thing for the first hour, but after that, it’s a good time. It does what the first one in 1989 should have done and what the 1st Superman(1979) did- telling us the origin of the hero, not the villain’s. One of the niciest touches of the movie was being introduced to a young Jim Gordon. While the movie was dealing with Batman’s origin, it subtly gave Jim Gordon’s as well. This was solid story telling that came full circle and tied up plot points nicely. In short, it was a very satisfying experience.
