今天收到的一篇好文章
一面讀一面心有戚戚焉
一件不起眼的惱人小事
反而成為救命的轉捩點
這是逃過九一一攻擊的
幸運兒們真實經歷分享
所以遇到不順的事
別急著抱怨或生氣
每件事的發生背後
都有它奇妙的因緣
把挫折當生命養分
用感恩心看待一切
以下就是這篇文章:
After 11th September attack , in World Trade Centre N.Y one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space.
At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories of why these people were alive…... and all the stories were just the 'L I T T L E' things.
As you might know, the head of the company survived that day because his *son started kindergarten*.
Another fellow was alive because it was *his turn to bring donuts*.
One woman was late because her *alarm clock didn't go off in time*.
One of them *missed his bus*.
One *spilled food* on her clothes and *had to take time to change*.
One's *car wouldn't start*.
One *went back to answer the telephone*.
One had a *child* that dawdled and *didn't get ready* as soon as he should have.
One *couldn't get a taxi*.
*The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot*.
He *stopped* at a drugstore *to buy a Band-Aid*.
That is why he is ALIVE today.
*Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone...*
*All the little things that annoy me.*
*I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment...*
Next time
Ur morning seems to be going wrong,
The children are slow getting dressed,
U can't seem to find the car keys,
U hit every traffic light...
*Don't get mad or frustrated. God is at work watching over u.*
*_May God continue to bless u with all those annoying little things & may u remember their possible purpose._*
Rhonda Byrne says: *"Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation.*
Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good."
*Live Life Always Being Thankful*...
*With An Attitude of Gratitude*.

Samuel Chan 談英國 recently hit me with a question - What was the most enjoyable part of boarding school?
In short, half-term (LOL!)
Don't get me wrong, I didn’t hate school. I absolutely loved my time at Rye St Antony School in east Oxford. There really should be no fallacies and doubts about what independent and boarding schooling can do for Hong Kong children. You really do meet great friends for life and participate in sporting and extra-curricular activities which, for me, would have been a pipe dream had I not studied in the UK. Fanciful hopes can become unforgettable memories in the blink of an eye at boarding school. Just look at what my involvement in the school's Duke Of Edinburgh Awards and art competitions did for me!
Ah, yes - half-term. I could do little but take advantage of this short break away from school to enhance my awareness of all things British. Cultural development at its most extreme. I would transport myself to other worlds: out in the sticks of rural Oxford (I love that phrase ‘out in the sticks’ - and so do the British), sitting by the River Thames along South Bank watching buskers sing or just going off to watch live bands whenever I could. Out of all these delights, the ‘Thames factor’ did it for me - views of Big Ben and Parliament, city traffic racing by and lyrics from the Kinks singing in my mind (‘as long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise’). It only takes a sunset of a million colours over London to make everything - living, studying and cramming for exams - all seem worthwhile.
In and around Camden Town, murals adorning the old brick buildings which housed funky coffee shops, art galleries and stores as well as the now-legendary Camden KOKO, where every musician would dream to play at. Every visit had its own charm with unpredictable events, chance meetings and the odd planned rendezvous all in waiting. Camden has it all and it was the perfect setting to gain inspiration for my songwriting- scribbling down phrases and live conversations on scrap paper; that feeling of exploding ideas at 3am in the morning happened right here, in broad daylight!
Of course, my budget was low and I still remember using my ‘Young Person’s Railcard’ and getting bargain fare prices at the oddest of hours to get down to London. Yes, my accommodation was always a tatty bed and breakfast but you soon forget these things when you study in the UK. You are just grateful to be there, to be ‘living it’. Overcooked bacon and greasy sausages don’t matter one jot! London is wonderful, not for its shopping or cuisine, but just for casually grabbing a Tesco meal deal and then fleeing off to the Tate Modern or Brick Lane to watch a live band. Heaven!
I really must stop, I can honestly write a book on my time in the UK! Come watch me play at the Cordis Hotel, Mongkok this Saturday(20Feb 12:00pm) or have a chat with Samuel if you wish to study abroad.

sebuah catatan dari kawan kami Bung Mamat Alexander Matius
Sebenarnya ingin menulis tentang band ini selepas mereka konser pulang kampung beberapa waktu lalu. Berhubung pagi ini sedang bengong dan tidak bisa tidur, jadi baru kesampaian.
Suatu siang pada tahun 2005, saya sedang menonton MTV Indonesia. Acaranya secara khusus menayangkan video musik perdana setiap minggunya. Pembawa acara, yang disebut Video Jockey, tersebut mengatakan bahwa salah satu video musik yang ditayangkan adalah video musik dari lagu yang menjadi salah satu soundtrack dari film yang rilis pada tahun tersebut, Janji Joni. Video musik tersebut menampilkan band beranggotakan 6 orang. Video dibuka dengan satu-satu personel band dengan alat musik masing-masing muncul dengan visual yang sangat vintage dan ditambah dengan beberapa adegan romansa. Lagu tersebut berjudul Senandung Maaf.
White Shoes and The Couples Company adalah nama band tersebut. Terbentuk sejak tahun 2002, band ini unik karena tidak berawal “The” seperti band-band yang bermunculan pada saat itu dan tidak ada nama khusus untuk penggemar mereka, tidak seperti band yang tumbuh pada generasi saat itu. Di tahun yang sama, band ini merilis album perdananya di bawah bendera Aksara Records. AllMusic memberikan nilai 4 1/2 dari 5. Albumnya juga terpilih sebagai 150 Album Terbaik Majalah Rolling Stone. Dibuka lewat lagu instrumental Simple Overture, selanjutnya album ini diisi oleh kisah cinta sampai ke gaya hidup. Beberapa lagu juga dibuatkan video musik salah duanya Windu & Defrina dan Sunday Memory Lane.
Band yang namanya diambil karena ada fenomena sepatu putih di lingkungan kampus mereka, pasangan asmara dalam band saat itu, serta terinspirasi nama dari Big Brother and The Holding Company, sekarang sudah menjadi duta besar musik pop Indonesia. Hal tersebut layak disematkan karena mereka sudah tampil di Amsterdam, Austin, Bangkok, Berlin, Brisbane, Castlemaine, Chennai, Copenhagen, Darwin, Helsinki, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Milan, New York, Paris, Penang, Reunion Island, Singapore, Stockholm, dan Sydney. 5 Benua. Pernah tampil pula di Bandung, Bali, Balikpapan, Bekasi, Bogor, Cirebon, Denpasar, Depok, Jakarta (termasuk konser pulang kampung mereka di Cikini), Lampung,Makassar, Malang, Medan, Padang, Palembang, Pekan Baru, Semarang, Solo, Sukabumi, Surabaya, Tangerang, dan Yogyakarta. Musik pop Indonesia? White Shoes and The Couples Company jawabannya. Bahkan mereka mungkin bisa mewakili soundtrack film Indonesia era 50-70an.
Dengan terdapat kemungkinan konflik personal yang bisa timbul dengan skala yang lebih besar dibandingkan band lain (ingat, persoalan asmara itu dapat menjadi bom waktu yang siap meledak untuk merusak profesionalitas dan sudah banyak terbukti), toh band yang sudah membawakan lagu berbahasa lokal, nasional, dan internasional; yang sudah menyanyikan lagu ciptaan mereka sendiri maupun menyanyikan ulang (Sabda Alam, Selangkah ke Seberang, Aksi Kucing, Lagu-lagu daerah, bahkan Crosstown Traffic-nya Jimi Hendrix); dan yang sudah menyanyikan lagu dari kasmaran sampai reunian, dari kamar kos sampai vakansi, dan dari orang tua kepada anaknya sampai remaja, dapat melewatinya dan mencatat sejarahnya.
Saya tidak bisa membayangkan bagaimana White Shoes and The Couples Company jika bercerai satu sama lain. Saya dua kali menonton penampilan mereka, dimana masing-masing acara tersebut salah satu personel mereka tidak ada (satu acara gitar akustik absen, satu acara lagi drum atau keyboard kalau tidak salah yang absen). Hasilnya: Sangat Hambar! Syukurnya, tidak terjadi apa yang mereka pernah jawab dalam sebuah wawancara ketika ditanya 11 tahun lagi mereka sudah jadi apa. Karena jawaban mereka adalah bubar. Mereka masih aktif dan sudah melahirkan 2 album penuh dan 3 EP (sialnya yang Six Live Selection saya tidak punya).
Selamat ulang tahun ke-10 album perdana. Selamat ulang tahun yang ke-13.
Ditunggu film dokumenter, lagu, panggung dan album berikutnya.

Exhibition Introduction:
Since the launch of ‘Art Street’, Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei has explored diverse possibilities for art and for all by introducing contemporary art to living space. In the spring of 2015, MOCA Taipei partners with Elite Taipei Station Store to co-present the fourth exhibition and invites Taiwan Indie bands and emerging fashion designers to co-create a duo-feast consisting of music and visual sense. Through this cross-disciplinary experimental collaboration, we discuss the visual approaches of music performance on stage.
Since 2009 on, the White Eyes has worked with fashion designer Hikky Chen to develop a series of stage costumes and profiles, which they wear to attend many music events both overseas and domestically. This exhibition entitled Inorganic Evolution-The White Eyes X Hikky Chen could be regarded as a celebration of its founding for a decade. In addition to examine the creational history in the past ten years, the design profiles are also presented. Having an exhibition at the K1 and K2 square of Elite Taipei Station Store where the mass crowd and traffic gather, we expect to initiate a fusion of diverse creative culture and art as well as to further interpret the indie Avant-garde fashion of the White Eyes.
Extending the Punk and Riot Girls style in the early years, the White Eyes set up strong image in the circle of Taiwan Indie bands and they won grand prize at Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival; in recent years, the vocalist and bass player Chung-yu Fan form “Half of White Eyes” side project. While persuading further experimental spirit in the music presentation, the band also engages in several cross-disciplinary projects. The collaboration between the White Eyes and Hikky Chen implies the beginning of another stage, which the long-lasting Punk spirit, rebelling, critical against the conventional concepts, respect to individuals with different values, and the pursuing of liberation are all shown in their creation.
The stage costumes by Hikky Chen are mostly inspired by the elements in the Nature, including the mineral colors and textures, and the primitive quality of grey cloth. Therefore, most of costumes are made by retailing and assembling recycled clothing and unwanted fabrics. The colors are made from the technique of tea dying and show a warm, tender and natural hue. The texture and color hues are full of primitive charm, which is exactly like the liberation manifesto by the band. Moreover, daily life and pets of band vocalist Hsiao-gao Gao are resources of inspiration as well.
The White Eyes organized their ten-year anniversary concert at the end of 2014. It is an important evolution for the White Eyes to present the audio sense through costumes and visual profiles. This is the intention behind the collaboration between the band and fashion designer. Based on this reason, the exhibition is organized to present the achievement of a decade. On stage, the White Eyes not only performs physically, but also expresses their music faith via unique costumes. With the concepts of inorganic evolution, this exhibition looks forward to further inspiring more diverse imaginations and possibilities of cross- disciplinary creation among creators from different fields.
