「象腿」學弟命危 華仁校友捐款救人

「象腿」學弟命危 華仁校友捐款救人
(明報)2009年12月10日 星期四 05:10

【明報專訊】不少學生畢業離開母校便忙著各奔前程，但亦有感情團結的舊生會可在百忙中回饋母校造福後輩。去年九龍華仁書院 一名患有罕見先天性淋巴腺水腫的學生張仲斌，右腿一度腫脹至皮開肉裂甚至隨時喪命，急需籌逾25萬元赴台南動手術，該校舊生會獲悉後，即在不足24小時送上「溫暖」的現金支票，令他及時完成手術除去怪病，體會人間有情。

兒時證實患上淋巴腺水腫的仲斌，腳一直有點腫，但未影響日常生活，不過腳腫情况隨歲月愈來愈厲害。可惜香港尚未有病例可作借鏡，醫生不欲仲斌成為「白老鼠」，使仲斌待至18歲成年始能作詳細檢查。

會考後突惡化 大腿粗逾米

由於他的血液循環一直不理想，心臟功能轉差，生命隨時受到威脅，6年前會考畢業後，其情况更急轉直下，右腿突腫脹至皮開肉裂，大腿腫至粗逾1米。本港醫院亦向他直言，若安排接受手術，也「沒病例可循，醫生也只得按知識行事」。

24小時內送上20萬支票

由於仲斌母親無信心讓兒子在港醫治，遂四出尋覓名醫，終得悉台南一所醫院在淋巴腺水腫方面有診治經驗，但至少需要25萬港元。華仁舊生會聞悉學弟有難，即時發動籌款，在短短24小時內，便有匿名校友捐了20萬元，讓他在去年11月及時赴台完成手術，之後善款一直增加，至今已達60萬。

台醫護：切出一個扁嫂

仲斌在台南順利將右腳88磅已纖維化的皮下組織切除，再重新植皮，當地醫護人員也笑言「切了一個扁嫂出來」。住院期間，台灣 總統馬英九 亦曾到醫院探訪，當得悉仲斌母校與自己出世的廣華醫院 距離十分相近，即稱感到特別親切。仲斌的手術亦感染台灣政府，計劃申請20億美元 撥款，推動國際醫療服務，幫助第三世界落後地區及有需要的人。

今年6月底，擺脫了近90磅「贅肉」的仲斌終可返港，他感到自己真正重生。為加快傷口復元，他更接受醫生建議，不施麻醉，在完全清醒下拆除8口釘，創出醫院「紀錄」，他形容﹕「（是）華仁給予我的力量，現時回想起來也覺得離奇！」

日後傷口癒合後，仲斌或要再動一次手術，將兩公分厚的疤切除再重新植皮，其右腳現時仍套上「石膏鞋」，不時感到痛楚。香港人生活節奏急速，他笑言要再適應，「走路慢一步都不行！」眼前的仲斌尚有10個傷口未有完全癒合，但仍在人前堅忍地站好，一步一步地走下人生路。

快樂是喜歡你做的事，不是做你喜歡做的事

Potluck , such a new term to me, =]

Invited by Meghan to her friend house for a potluck. It is a great cultural exchange experience. =]

I have pan friend some dumplings to them. They enjoy it much. Together with Sa Cha Sauce=]

After the dinner with have a nice chat on some cultural difference. The topic that I have raised is childhood. Some of them actually born in a farm and have a very different childhood from city people.


Afterwards, went to skilletwake for beer, another time of feeling harmony.

I understood more about myself after these 3 moths of "silent" life.


Humanity is something I really care much in my life.

【本報訊】食家蔡瀾說，這是心理不平衡表現；關注動物組織說，這是人性完全埋沒的體現。他們說的是一道中國菜，名為「呼叫魚」，上菜時，魚身已烹熟，但魚頭還生猛得可以張合嘴巴。近日有人上載短片，引來網民討伐。


蔡瀾：食客心態不平衡
最近有人把享用「呼叫魚」的過程拍成短片放上網，片段所見，相信是一群香港食客在內地點了這道菜。似是鯉魚的魚身在上桌時已經煮熟，淋上配料與汁液，但魚頭仍然活生生的，有人用筷子篤幾下，魚嘴即一開一合。
短片已有過萬人看過，評論是彈多過讚。有網民說：「邊個發明呢個食法 o架？應該有報應。」又有人痛斥：「我唔明白點解片入面嘅人會笑得出，仲為咗拍到條魚郁而用筷子篤佢嘅口同鰓！」
食 家蔡瀾說，多年前已見識過這道菜，而且在內地頗普遍，「廚師用一條濕毛巾包住魚頭，魚身浸落油裏面炸，所以個身熟咗，個頭仲會郁。」他說這道菜的發明正好 顯示了人性殘忍的一面，「啲人覺得咁樣好新鮮，其實食呢道菜嘅人係心態唔平衡，應該係唔識食！」呼叫魚多數選生命力強的鯇魚或鯉魚。動物地球總幹事黃繼仁 說，這是文明大倒退，作為中國人應該引以為恥，「我都唔明白人性去咗邊，咁樣同食猴子腦冇乜分別，完全係人性埋沒！」
傳染病醫生勞永樂說，食用「呼叫魚」很高危。淡水魚體內含有甚多病毒，除常見的霍亂菌，魚鰓魚嘴常含有肝吸蟲，可導致膽管閉塞及膽管炎，嚴重的會奪命。

Step Up

From ambition to meaning



Recently found that my music taste has shifted to classical music which I don't really enjoy much before, especially string.


Everything in the iPod now are basically Movie Music. Sweet to listen.

There are pictures and shots of movies rising into the head when the melody touch the feeling. What a great miracle.

I hope that some days you guys can crossover and have some production, should be wonderful to hear string with giutar.





The U of A library do have a great collections of DVDs of western movies.

中國網路流行字「烎」走紅

(明報)2009年10月19日 星期一 11:40

中國網路流行字語不斷推陳出新，繼「囧」字後，「烎」字最近爆紅，被網民賦予「霸氣、彪悍、勇猛」之意。

「烎」讀音為「yin」，與「囧」意思相同，代表著「光明」。不過，也和「囧」一樣，「烎」也被網民賦予許多「光明」以外的含義，包括「霸氣」、「彪悍」、「勇猛」等。

此外，因為「烎」字也連帶產生了許多網路流行語，例如「烎你就像碾一隻螞蟻」、「烎你沒商量」、「寂寞已經過時了，咱玩的是烎！」、「男人，重要的不是帥，是烎！」

報道形容，「囧」主要是表達一種自嘲態度和戲謔心態，「烎」卻有一定攻擊性，如果「囧」代表著陰柔、幽默和中庸，「烎」就是代表著陽剛、明朗和直接。

而「烎」比「囧」更能代表當下的網絡生態，因為當前中國網民正處於四處「開火」的時代，透過網路掌握發言權的網民，正肆意享受著獲得發言管道、表達自己觀點的樂趣與快感。

報道分析，在這種樂趣與快感的驅動下，偶爾會有言辭過激、輕浮無物之嫌，「開火」難免成為逞一時口舌之快的代名詞，也因此產生了「網路暴民」的說法。

例如「烎你就像碾一隻螞蟻！」，就是一些網民遮掩不住的暴戾，缺乏對人和事物理性、嚴謹的判斷，讓「烎」這個字沾染上了浮躁的色彩。

但是對大多數網民來說，「烎」主要代表的是「正義感、良心、責任」，是路見不平的一聲吼。而且正是由於近年來網路上「烎」聲一片，才讓那麼多涉及機構腐敗、官員墮落的事件被頻繁曝光。

Success

The words of wisdom in " Fame" :

What is success? It is not how much money you earn, how many people think you are doing a great job. It is everyday when you wake up, you are passionate to fly out of the door and start to do what you enjoy.

This piece of word is hanging in my mind for these few days.


Btw, I just can't sleep tonight. I do have a problem to stop my brain processing when I am very focused to study. =.=

Cross Culture Marriage

On the way back to WEM, a lady sat right beside me.
I was listening to music and looking through the bus windows.

After 20 mintues, the lady talked to me.

She asked, " Will the coming winter be your first time in Canada?"

I said, " Yes, definitely. I am from Hong Kong and I just don't use to a winter with -30 something."

She said, "I have an old friend who is a Chinese as well. We met for 47 years and we are very close friends."

I said,"Is he or she from Hong Kong?"

She said, " He is now in Shanghai and during the 1960 people in Canada won't accept cross culture marriage. We studied together in the U of Montreal, we really love each other."

I said, " Do you guys study French in the U?"

She said, " No, he studied Engineering in Shanghai and he is working the Shanghai as an engineer. By the way , what are you stuying?"

I said," Biology and Chemistry, aiming at medical study."

She said," Good for you! Work hard! Good luck! I got to go now, nice to talk to you=)."

She got off the bus. She have struggled for 20 minutes before talking to me about her story. Hope that she doesn't got off and hear more about their story. The story is much more intersting than the bus ride. XD

Psho test ended today.

1) Cycling down to have a "breakfast" as dinner

2) Fame


The movie is not as good as expected. The plot lacks a main theme. It's like a mixture of high school musical +Step up x Musical.


3) Chinese restaurant have noodle

Right after the movie when I am cycling back to the dorm, it is too cold...that I saw a Chinese Restaurant nearby. Quickly went inside for a dish of "Shanghai noodle" which is not bad. The lady is from Vietnam who came to here for living during the 1980s when the refugee came here. Well, we talk so much about the life here. She really visit hk and vietnam frequently. She loves Lady Maket and Temple street. =)

After the dinner, she said, " Pay me only $5" (actually it cost $10). I said, " No No , I should pay." Well....I only have $100. She said , " Pay me next time!=), we are Chinese as a family." Sweet.

I can call her for take away Chinese food. She said she can stem me fishes if I like! It is a warm and sweet night.

4) Culture exchange 101

My toilet-mate and his sister gather in the dome. I bring along with a pot of Chinese tea（普梨） and "　糯米糍　for cultural exchange=)

Kyle like the tea, however for the 糯米糍 its a bit different for them, esepcailly the black sesame.

Glad that they invite me for Easter holiday to their house. See if I can join.

22nd Birthday

There are not much people here who knows my birthday.

On the date of birthday, take the afternoon cycling further around Camrose, taking the camera with me is probably gives me the greatest satisfaction.



































I had my dinner in a small restaurant ordered my favourite french onion soup.


2nd day after birthday

Bought myself a box of dark chocolate ~ for the lab reports

3rd day after birthday

Spending the morning in the Church with Steven and his family and Cindy.




























Meet a great photographer in the afternoon-Auntie Lila's father who use to be a professional photographer. He told me many things about photography. He has a Rollieflex and a Hasselblade with him and taught me how to use that.































































I got 2 poloroids as gift from this great man.

He said," The best camera and the best lens is behind the camera." Words of wisdom.

He knows many great photographers in America, including a photographer who had taken a photo for Winston Churchill

At night, joined the study group of Jody, Justin and Christopher.
A big surprise by Uncle Ken that he bought me a cake, feeling of home with their family.

























































































Uncle Ken, Auntie Eva, Auntie Lila, Uncle Rodney treat me as their son.
Jody and Justin treat me as cousin.
A beautiful night and the best gift of my 22nd birthday.

Cycling

Take the time this afternoon in between 2 lessons to cycle around and taking picutres.




























































saw somebody playing a giutar in such a beautiful scene!
Her name is Mahan doing evnvironmental studies. When I ask
why don't she have lesson, she said," The weather is just too good
thah I don't want to stay indoor." She is playing some American
pop songs. I have showed 2 pieces of classical giutar( probably
the only 2 I remember without a note) and she is inspired. Music
is really the global language.



Last night I have attended the choir practice. The mens choir
has a great range of age. There are many professors in the choir
as well. The one right in front of me is the Professor who teach
me psychology. So embarrassing to be late=.=I just don't expect
there are so many "big" people.

Silence VS boring

I enjoy the silence here, however, I start to get bored.

Weekends here are dead. =.=

First Chinese I have met

Cindy Liu is the first Chinese that I have met here. We have a common goal to
pursue the career in health care related industry.

Her father is a dentist in Taiwan and this makes dream of being a dentist.
She is from Stathworth where truely " middle of no where". Camrose is not a
boring place at all to her. I finally understand that it is not too bad to be in camrose.

I rather enjoy the time to talk
with her rather than work with her. She is hesitating too much of each of the word I type.
I would like to work alone....=.= however, no choice.

So tired now.......feeling so sleepy.......dying feeling.
