始終有你

香港特別行政區成立十周年紀念 > 主題曲
點點燈火彷彿流螢 照亮百家姓  成全這小島變巨星 東方跟西方的文明 邂逅了衝勁 / 獅子山觸得到長城 血脈裡感應  繁榮這裡 遇上安定 / 和諧靠你 賦予生命 明艷紫荊風中爭勝 找對了路徑  花瓣開得繁盛 人人能力大小也力拼 任誰留下血汗 就是個精英 香港始終有你 (香港始終有你) / (國︰因為你在這裡) 讓萬眾掌聲響一世紀 香港始終有我 (香港始終有我) / (國︰因為你在這裡) 十萬個驚喜多一世紀 感謝你 小天地 創天地 盛夏冷冬各種天氣 不捨不棄  才會了不起 香港始終有你

七七事變

七七事變,又稱盧溝橋事變、七七盧溝橋事變,是1937年7月7日發生在中國北平的盧溝橋(亦稱蘆溝橋)的中日軍事衝突。七七事變是中國展開全國對日八年抗戰的起點。
背景 自1937年日本二·二六兵變以來日本國內政局動蕩不安,政府迫切需要轉移國內民眾視線,解決接踵而至的經濟、政治問題。而何梅協定簽定後中華民國政府在華北的勢力銳減,客觀上為日本發動戰爭提供了有利條件。1936年西安事變和平解決後,國民黨與共產黨達成協議共同抗日,兩黨再度走向聯合。
經過 1937年7月7日夜,日本華北駐屯軍藉口一個兵士失蹤,要求進入西南的宛平縣城搜查。中國守軍拒絕了這要求。日軍遂開槍開炮猛轟北平盧溝橋,向城內的中國守軍進攻。中國守軍奮起還擊。事件後第二天中國共產黨便發表抗日通電,要求國民黨儘快履行在西安事變時的承諾。蔣介石在7月17日在廬山談話會上宣佈準備應戰和必要時守土抗戰到底的決心。7月28日、7月30日,日軍相繼佔領北平、天津。中國抗日戰爭(又稱第二次中日戰爭)正式爆發。

我是香港人,也是中國人

讀完一篇關於正宗香港人是說不出祖國的全名, 又不會唱國歌; 我立即反思. 我經常說愛國愛港, 原來只是紙上談兵. 我對自己好失望呀!
中華人民共和國 = People's Republic of China
國歌歌詞: 起來! 不願做奴隸的人們! 把我們的血肉, 築成我們新的長城! 中華民族到了最危險的時候, 每個人被迫著發出最後的吼聲, 起來! 起來! 起來! 我們萬眾一心, 冒著敵人的炮火前進, 冒著敵人的炮火前進! 前進! 前進! 進!
Owen 話我太執著, 也許沒有人明白中國人這三個字對我有多大的重要意義.
Owen: well, on the other hand, you might want to consider the meaning of this song to millions of people suffering in the hands of the communist party in the 70's...
Owen: 愛國 is good, but does that mean you should side with her when she might be wrong at times? The way you 愛國, seems like 太麻木, and that's what worries me, and that’s why I said not to be too 執著.
Maggie: whatever! 道不同, 不相為謀.

July 4th Gathering

Thanks to Stella, hosted a great party yesterday at her house. It was such a nice day...super hot though. We went early to swim and sun bathing. I swam 3 laps in the 3.5-ft session of the pool and Stella & Chrisee were laughing at me the whole time.
So much food was prepared and...we finished trays after trays of food. I was half-dead laying on the sofa after the meal.
We finally heard the firework sound, "BOOM! BOOM!" Firework show began @9:30. All of us ran out and stood in the back yard, overlooking the cityview and firework. It was beautiful and memoriable, especially watching the firework together with our friends and families.

自稱既 - 進步大獎

一個星期既苦練,禽晚終於...有啲成績.
I found more and more fun in hip hop dancing. At least I can follow the beat and steps last night, yet to dance like really hip hopping...still a long way to go. 努力呀!

回歸十周年

遺憾...是十年前沒有機會在香港見證回歸.

我不只是懂每年到港消費的過客. 我恨與每一個香港人共同經歷. 我愛香港!

誰能明白我的心?
