impromptuz

Just came across a quote that answered my question earlier:

“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.”

______________

I could have started a blog post to comment on all the controversial news and tragedy happening around HK…but no. sorry readers.

People said I should feel lucky that my bosses won’t swear at me

ha, you know, this is not the proper way to make a person to feel any better.

My scale of being tortured at work:

1——————–>5
min.                 max.

Your scale of being tortured at work:

1—————————————->10
min.                                        max.

You may think level 5 is nothing.

But level 5 is my max. level.

And your scale may be totally different from mine too. Manufactured in two different worlds.

And I won’t ever understand how level 10 is like without experiencing it, its like a person living in a desert would never be able to imagine how an ocean is exactly like.

當你們在煲少女韓劇《來自星星的你》，我在煲美少男vintage動畫《進撃の巨人》，心臓を捧げよ！
以下是令我很熱血的金句－

人は戦うことをやめた時初めて敗北する…
人，在放棄戰鬥的時候，才算輸……
戦い続ける限りはまだ負けてない！
只有繼續戰鬥，才還未輸！

戦え！戦うんだよなつや！勝てなきゃ死ぬ…勝てば生きる！
戰鬥啊！快戰鬥啊！贏不了就會死！贏了就活下去！

臓を捧げよ！
獻上心臓吧！（？）

工作需要，first thing in the morning 就要screen through香港所有報紙的地產版，我有以下observations:
– 蘋果日報最喜歡誇張地「揭人瘡疤」（報道「奇則」，交樓漏水，訂價比同區貴n倍等等）
– 星島日報資料最準確，賣飛佛
– 經濟日報的presentation最reader-friendly，賣second飛佛
– 信報最precise少廢話
– 文匯報和大公報錯得最離譜（把我們樓盤Mount Parker大字標題寫爲Mount Baker；新聞有時更會比其他報紙delay一天；最奇怪的是，兩報的錯漏通常一致，懷疑是互抄）
– 商報最少見（因為應報道的新聞，他們都省力不報）

So how many F-word in The Wolf of Wall Street? 506!
impromptuz rating: 8.7/10!
Not just becoz it was vulgar geh haha. Hv been a fan of DiCaprio since Primary 3 + many LOL moments in the film.

3 random comments:

(1) Getting High…[Disclaimer: I am not a drug addict ._.]
The movie accurately depicted how dsyfunctional a person could become when overdosed on drugs…..especially the scene when DiCaprio was so stoned that he has to crawl along the ground, unable to formulate any complete sentence. I know that feel bro, every single day.

(2) 禍不及妻兒
Another scene that touched a nerve was when DiCaprio was totally out of control and “kidnapped” his daughter into his car. If you are high, go lock yourself up in your room, everyone else is sober for god’s sake! .\____/.

(3) DiCaprio must win Best Actor in Oscars!!
He is just too good >w<

不受尊重的行業：保險和地產。

我的好朋友是精算師。但她跟姨媽姑爹說“我在保險公司manulife做”，立刻遭人白眼。同樣，我是準測量師。但跟姨媽姑爹說“我做地產”，亦立刻遭人白眼。

其實這些low-level sales類工作，只要有network和運氣，收commission最賺錢。做地產agents，做executive headhunter，做保險經紀，可以賺到笑。

認識做豪宅的agents，d佣金下下都”球球“聲上落，no kidding。但special skill set呢？無架。

行內有個經典故事。曾經有個“利＋閣“街霸” agent，只會在樓盤外追車拍車，最後真的被撞倒入院。車主出於歉意，幫他買了一個單位。Yes, 都得架。

由2001年第一天寫網誌開始，我就下定決心發誓，我要寫一本書。時隔13年，日子一天一天的過，這個小小目標不單止從未成形過，因工作關係，這個小小目標變得越來越渺茫，由目標扭化為心願。

The clock is ticking，我不想它變成遺憾。回首，就算不計以前的網誌xanga 和easyjournal，單單這個impromptuz已經有1,584篇文章，64,783人次，3,407個留言，你教我於心何忍放棄？對比起大學時代的我，我再沒有充裕的時間好好打理這裡，生活亦續漸欠缺精彩的素材。但你教我於心何忍放棄？在被社會規範捆綁得快要窒息的日與夜裡，就只剩下這個utopia讓我大肆揮筆了。

我驚覺，直到此時此刻，社會的驚濤駭浪都未曾打消過我出書的念頭 ：方案有二。一，是自娛用，自己私下印製，私下派發。二，是出版發售。回首，人生中暫時值得一提的，就只有大學求存記。很好。但我已經25歲了，再諸多藉口一拖再拖的話，我怕我再編寫不出當年的韻味。The clock is ticking。要出，就要快。

然後我再問問其他的人意見。

• 唔做「IFC 張智霖」，咪做「ICC 陳法拉」咯，why not?
• 寫小說啦，好似《那夜凌晨 我坐上旺角開往大埔的紅van》，做電影，幾好呀
• 要有character，要角度，寸d，要controversial。

impromptuz的character，就是沒有太鮮明的character，只會輕描淡寫，想寫才寫，在茶餘飯後娛樂自己和大家。這明明是一片讓我鬆一口氣的園地，為什麼思路風格要因此而走歪，連寫作也要被市場要求束縛，委屈自己向大眾期望跪地而惆悵獨悲？告訴你吧，世界，the clock is ticking, 但我現在沒有時間去出賣自己。Have I made myself clear?
