賭博人生

今日一號強風（暹芭）高挂， 雨勢有點飄忽， 出門之前探窗外， 雨勢不大， 途人都沒有打傘， 所以便驅單車出行。 下得樓來， 暴雨狂風， 唯有把單車驅回家。 之後取雨傘下樓， 乘車。 我考慮過不乘車， 因為雨勢漸缓。 乘車坐了兩個站， 下車時雨已全止。 兜兜轉轉， 結果還是可以騎單車往。 人生就是如此， 你可以預算， 你也可以等待， 但你無法確知下一刻如何。 賭枱上更是風雲色變， 你很有勝算的外匯期貨可能也是如此。甚至你所倚重的種種，隨時可以令你反枱。

公德何價

我每天早乘搭巴士上班， 我總是坐在後排的一個空位。 在座位附近， 總可以見到一位肥胖女士， 她不靠近窗邊， 總是坐在外沿。 每次見她都是精神奕奕的在打點。 還未到下一個站， 她已經入睡。 後上車的乘客想叫她欺身讓入坐窗邊座位， 她總是沒反應。 因她有點胖， 乘客不便勉強擠進去， 只有放棄。 就是如此， 她可以全程睡得舒舒服的。 看官閣下， 為了自己舒適， 不妨動一動腦。

Back Pain

I have been troubled by chronicle neck, back and leg pain for a couple of months. Originally I thought it could be caused by late sleeping or pressure and it would have gone when I returned to healthy life.

You can see from my treatment record, the pain did not go even after treatments and it costs. Last Sunday, I said to the massage master that I did not sleep well which affected my neck and back. He then said it could be caused by the mattress. You'd better change it because the cost of our treatment could cost more than a good mattress.  

Since the master said about that, I no long slept in my own bedroom, I moved to a small bedroom which has a hard mattress (not too comfortable). The sore pain of my neck and back, though not much improvement, did not get worsen. This evening, after visiting a few mattress outlets, I ordered a single size good brand mattress for the small room and see if it is good for my back, before I buy a big one for my big bedroom.

Just before shower, I checked my bedroom mattress and noticed the mattress label on the handles were upside down, which reminded me the aircon installation servicemen had turned my mattress upside down when they installed a split aircon last June. This means I had been sleeping on the wrong side of the mattress for an entire year. No wonder my neck and back have been so badly affected.

Once upon a time a goddess

I guess there is no need for me to tell who they are as they are still the popular street talks in Beverly Hills. However, you may want to know when were the years of those photos.

Starting from the upper right corner was the 1986 movie "Lucas" when Winona played her debut in the movie and it was those few shots attracted my attention of that lovely face.

The middle photo was from the 1992 movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" 驚情四百年 in Chinese. I still keep a copy of that film, though I like her Lucas face better.

Winona was very popular until the turn of the century. Her last film I saw was the 1999 movie "Girl, Interrupted" with Angelina Jolie. Angelina has become very popular since then. However, Winona had long lost from the production circle. It was in the 2010 movie "Black Swan" that I saw her name again. I did not recognised her face, only saw her name in the prologue - "OMG" .

At the time Dracula was made, Keanu was not yet NEO. He became super star only upon Matrix was loaded.

Anyway, good to see them back.

今夕何夕

 

豈有豪情似舊時
花開花落兩由之
何其淚灑燕城血
今為斯人哭健兒
