《竊聽風雲》

從來沒有見過這麽多中人在同一個場合出現(敝校商科畢業典禮除外)。
無人派吃的,也無人派女性個人用品。
不想做什麽深入的技術分析,只談個人觀感。

一、很不幸,也很無奈地,法律似乎還是為有錢人服務的。
而炒股票這類的投機(資)方式,似乎並不怎麽適合我這種害怕風險的人的。
我還記得國際金融課上,教授的名言——"the only way to get rich, is to be rich to start with"。
財富累積大約就是滾雪球這樣來的,而我,不幸地,是一輩子也不會發家致富了。

二、再次見證了無需開機也可施行的竊聽技術在此片中被證明之後,我越來越害怕。
雖然我這種害怕是無由來的——m說,你一年連1000塊都賺不夠,誰要監聽你?
(我也只是有時候把自己看得太重要了,但怕還是繼續要怕的。)


三、據m說,張靜初的廣東話似乎有了進步。
我不能作評,只記得她在《孔雀》裡,騎著一輛拖著降落傘的單車,神經兮兮的。
m說她長得像章子怡,我覺得她氣質還是有點北。
有時候,很無奈的,無論如何高貴地裝扮,有些人不可避免地總是會讓華服或者絢麗奪目的珠寶搶走了風頭,她就是有點這個缺陷。
當然,看戲主要是看情節,我則不能免俗地要觀察別人的長相……

四、這部電影裡有很多張在《畢打》出現的臉,讓我頓生親切感。

五、當差也真的不容易,人工不高,工時又長,還有生命危險。
認識了有錢的女友還要被對方看不起。一哥年薪竟然連他們公司保安總監(有無記錯?)也不如,難怪他們要遊行要求加人工了。
也難怪有高官退休之後要去做世界地產公司打工了。
這一切都是錢作怪吧?
雖說一個人一生可以吃多少穿多少都是注定的。
如果懂得知足常樂倒是好的。
怕只怕眼高手低,愈來愈鑽牛角尖,愈來愈自我折磨,愈來愈痛苦。
這些都要靠後天修為了,得道的卻並不多。
相比之下,退休之後只在報紙寫專欄前一哥,真正「中通外直,不蔓不枝,香遠益清,亭亭淨植。」

六、月薪兩萬的警察攀上了豪門親事,新家的廁所比他以前的寓所還大,每週逢單日還要陪岳父大人去粉嶺打球……
家中有身患疾病的兒子,自己又被診斷出得了肝癌,剩下一年的命,拼死拼活也要留點錢給老婆孩子。
在這種情況下,給你一個貼士,一夜賺1000萬,但要冒生命危險,你做不做?

your familiarity with HK news often amazes me. no one could tell u are living in a far-off corner of the planet.

on post-retirement work... i just think after working for 30-40 yrs, the normal psn would want a break, and they hv pension (not so for those recruited after 2000).So $ should not be a concern..(judged by my simplel lifestyle : P) Maybe working is a way to keep one energetic/stay touched with ppl? But staying at high-pressure management position at private company at that age is a different matter . So i still could not fully comprehend their decisions. For Leung Chin-man, I think much of the hassle is self-induced ( btw, his show-off of poems, any time, anywhere, is a bit too much, >_< ). Maybe he has done nothing wrong. Just that our Chinese society is still infatuated with the “清官” prototype, and rewards humility over ambition.

“看戲主要是看情節,我則不能免俗地要觀察別人的長相”…no la.. it is just too normal . How much I love scrutinizing the faces of others, especially those of same sex.

g: thanks. i'm just too 八卦, that's it. :P have to keep up with the news, otherwise, have nothing to talk to ppl about.

yeah, i agree with you that post-retirement work is more like a way to keep oneself busy, not just for money per se. my dad's still working after his retirement. (partly due to my wrong move - quitting my friggin job.. now i've become a burden.)
i dunno what Leung has done right or wrong, but knowing that he filled in his form without specifying some areas (i can't remember which) was surely not due diligence...
but you're right, maybe it's us who expect too much from our officials. not them. XD

i love scrutinizing other ppl too. not only of the same sex, but guys too. it's also becos of the cast that i went to watch this film. :P

friggin job..good term

i don't hv a smooth path in my first seven years of working life. Kind of angst-ridden. In fact, still i am.

maybe i should set some goals to distract myself...

:D
i really hated that job. couldn't bare it any longer. can't see a future in that job unless i was striken by a lightening and suddenly became uber smart like einstein or sth.

sometimes, luck matters a lot in a job. so just be a wee bit patient and see how things go. don't despair. =)

setting goals sounds like a good plan! maybe you could take up some sports (or you're already quite sportive?)
