送你一巴掌！
2009年1月17日 星期六
于瓜登补选成绩放榜时...
送你一巴掌！
给你一席话：
古之欲明明德于天下者先治其国 -先把你们管辖的州属管好！（注：先秦时期‘国’的概念，与现代的‘州’同）
欲治其国者先齐其家 -拴好你们自家的疯狗！再不然就干脆宰了！免得发起疯来又乱吠，第二代的疯狗还敢叫在这里至少四代以上的人寄居？？ Pukimak! You takde baca sejarah ke? You tahu siapa Laksamana Cheng Ho tak?? Oh, saya lupa lah, anjing memang tak tahu baca...
欲齐其家者先修其身 -把你的腰带勒紧点！对！不用左看右看！就是你！‘兰交’痒痒地把人家给搞了，就用炸药！我操你妈的，看你怎样死！咦？我操了你妈，我不就是你老子了吗？铞！
欲修其身者先正其心 -别整天把先知与真主挂在嘴边，你们心里的先知不叫真主Allah，你们心里的先知叫Ringgit...
欲正其心者先诚其意 -才几百块钱就想‘买票’，你他妈的当我们傻赑？？你如果公平的对待，不用你给钱，老子有本事赚钱给你！
欲诚其意者先致其知 -妇女节当天我们跟你讲了，你还当不知道！现在就给你一巴掌让你知！
致知在格物 -跟狗讲人话，没用。唯有用工具---选票
物格而后知至。知至而后意诚。意诚而后心正。心正而后身修。身修而后家齐。家齐而后国治。国治而后天下平。自天子以至於庶人依是皆以修身为本！
最后一段不是写给你们看的，因为我解释了你们的狗脑也不会懂！
民联，你们也别高兴得太早！不要以为套用了我们的‘民’字，就可以小人得志！我们也是有眼看的！上面所写的也可以用在你们身上！而下面这句，是特别为你们写的：
其本乱而末治者，否矣！

不爽，生气，抓狂，哭笑不得的分别
2009年1月15日 星期四
在朋友的Facebook 看到这一篇，很有意思，便抄了下来：
有一天，兒子問爸爸: 爸爸, 不爽﹐生氣﹐抓狂﹐哭笑不得的分別是甚麼意思﹖
爸爸﹕要解釋很難﹐不如讓我來示範。
首先﹐爸爸拿了一本電話簿﹐隨機選出一個人。然後打電話給那個人。順便把電話調到擴音器模式。
VICTIM﹕HELLO﹖
爸爸﹕HELLO﹐ 請問ABDULLAH BADAWI在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕你打錯電話啦﹗
爸﹕你不要騙我啦﹗
VICTIM﹕我騙你幹嘛﹗神經病﹗ (蓋了電話)
爸﹕哪﹐兒子﹐這個就是 '不爽'。現在來看甚麼是生氣。
(兒子點頭)
(過了5分鐘﹐爸爸再打一次電話給那個人)
VICTIM﹕HELLO﹖
爸﹕請問ABDULLAH BADAWI 有在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕怎麼又是你﹖都跟你講了你打錯電話了﹗
爸﹕我沒打錯電話啊﹗
VICTIM﹕你這個神經病﹐你到底是誰﹖
爸﹕我是誰你還不懂﹖我是NAJIB啦﹗
VICTIM﹕%^&*$#@﹗你是NAJIB我還ANWAR咧﹗白痴﹗(大力蓋電話)
爸﹕哪﹐兒子。這個就是'生氣'。懂了嗎﹖
兒子﹕喔我懂了﹗
爸﹕現在來看下甚麼是抓狂﹗(又打電話給那個可憐的人)
那個人一拿起電話就咆哮了﹗
VICTIM﹕你這個吃飽沒事做的神經病﹗整天打電話來干擾我﹐要不是我的電話沒有CALLER ID我早就報警了你這個變態佬。。。。
爸﹕(刻意壓低聲音)ERM。。。。請問林先生在嗎。。。。﹖
VICTIM﹕啊﹗很對不起﹗剛剛有個變態一直打電話來。。。
爸﹕喔﹐沒關係﹐請問ABDULLAH BADAWI在家嗎﹖
VICTIM﹕ ##$W$#^^%$E$%^amp;^%R%^$^&%^$^%$﹗﹗﹗﹗﹗
這一次﹐爸爸蓋上了電話。
爸﹕你現在知道分別了吧﹗等下你媽媽要回來了﹐我們可以吃晚餐了﹗
兒子﹕可是爸爸﹐你還沒有講解甚麼是哭笑不得﹖
爸﹕喔﹐那個要等到晚上12點啦﹗
(晚上12點﹐爸爸搖醒兒子﹐然後又打電話給那個人)
VICTIM﹕HELLO。。。。。﹖(睡到一半被吵醒)
爸﹕我是ABDULLAH BADAWI﹐有誰打電話找我啊﹖
VICTIM﹕。。。。。。。。。。。。
爸爸好厲害啊﹗

Heaven or Hell
A short film by Lai Yok Lung
-All rights reserved-
#01 Old Kopitiam -Night
Late night. In an old 'kopitiam'. Most of the stalls were closed. But an Indian old man, Raj, the satay stall owner is still barbecuing his last order. He flips over the satays with one hand and keeps on fanning the burning charcoal with a fan on his other hand. He then puts the satay on a plate and walks toward Tan.
A young Chinese man, Tan, is sitting on a table not far away. There are four empty beer bottles on the table and Tan is pouring the remaining beer of his last bottle (The fifth bottle) into his mug. Not far away from Tan, there is another couple enjoying their satay on another table.
Raj puts the plate of satay on the table...
Raj puts the plate of satay on the table...
Tan:
Thank you, Raj.
Raj:
Hey, young man, not working tomorrow?
Tan (Smile):
Tomorrow is a holiday…
Raj:
Oh yeah! I forgot. You see, when you get old, you tend to forget…
Tan pushes the plate slightly towards Raj, inviting Raj to join him.
Tan:
Join me…
Raj pulls a chair and sits beside Tan.
Raj:
Let me tell you a story, young man…
Tan takes a sip of his beer and listens.
Raj:
Once upon a time, way before time begins. There was a warrior, a very brave warrior…
#02 Flatland beside a jungle -Day
It is a battle field on the flatland beside the jungle. There are corpses everywhere lying on the ground. Burning smokes blurring the sky as the sky is grey in colour. Seem like there was a tough battle happening on this ground.
A warrior (played by Tan), with dirt and blood stains all over his armor, is kneeling on the ground panting heavily. He supports his body by holding his bloody sword which stabbed into a dead body on the ground. His right shoulder shield is broken, revealing a deep cut on his shoulder. There are other cuts on his face and forearms. There are scratches all over his body amour…
The remaining three enemies in their barbarian attire, covered by dirt and blood stains, stand in front of the warrior. They all look at the warrior fearfully. Each of them is carrying a sword, pointing at the warrior. Their swords trembling in the air as their hands are shaking in fear…

The warrior stands up and raises his head. He looks straight to the trio…
The three barbarians look at each other horrifically…
The warrior pulls out his sword and charges toward the barbarians!
Two of the barbarians charge toward the warrior!
The warrior bends down to avoid the attack and swings his sword counter clockwise at the first barbarian’s knees. His cape stretches out and spread like a blossom flower…

His sword cut through the knees! Both of the barbarian’s legs chop off instantly. The barbarian’s body tumbles in the air by the force produce by the swing of the warrior’s sword. Follow by his motion, the warrior turn, and thrust his sword into the barbarian’s body while he is still in the air.
The next barbarian thrusts his sword toward the warrior. The warrior pulls out his sword and swings upward toward the barbarian’s wrist. He slices off the barbarian’s hand and the barbarian’s sword tumble up in the air…

The scene horrified the third barbarian. He drops his sword, turn away trying to run…
The second barbarian’s sword still tumbling in the air in slow motion…
In a split second, the warrior catches up with the barbarian, and swings his sword horizontally…
The cape of the barbarian lifts by the force of the swing. The third barbarian opens his eyes wide, and collapse! His body falls on the ground heavily and the second barbarian’s sword stabs into the ground at the same time…
The warrior stands on the corpses, and look at the battle field proudly…

Raj VO:
… Not just a brave warrior, but a proud one. And he has every reason to be proud…
#03 Grassland -Day
Raj VO:
… And one day, he heard that there is a man with wisdom, so the mighty warrior go and pay a visit…
The sky is bright and blue. In a boundless stretch of grassland, there is only one gigantic tree. An old man (played by Raj), wearing a white gown, sits cross-legged below the tree. The old man is floating three feet above the ground, with his eyes closed, he is meditating…
In his glamorous gown, and his sword hanging in his waist, the warrior approaches the old man. He stops in front of the old man. The old man is still meditating…

Warrior:
I’ve heard that you are a man with wisdom. Tell me, old man, where is the gate of hell?
The warrior waits for his answer, but the old man is still meditating. After a while, the warrior asks again…
Warrior:
Old man… Where is the gate of hell?
The old man still kept quiet…
Warrior:
Hey! I am talking to you!
The old man opens his eyes slowly; take a glance at the warrior and then closes his eyes with a disdainful expression…
Old Man:
You are not fit to talk to me!
The old man answer enraged the warrior. The warrior takes a step forward and holds his sword’s handle with his right hand…
Warrior:
What?!
The old man:
(With his eyes close)
Go away; I am not used to talk with animal…
Warrior:
(Shout furiously)
How dare you!
Infuriated, the warrior pulls out his sword and fiery flame suddenly emerge on his blade! The warrior charge at the old man!
The sky suddenly turns dark! The flaming blade thrusts toward the old man, leaving a fiery trail behind its path…
Suddenly! The old man opens his eyes!
The old man:
This is the gate of hell!
His voice pierce through the sky and echoing like thunder!
The warrior suddenly halts! His legs stab into the soil, and cause some soil splash out like the wave swashing against the rock!
His sword halts in the air, and the flames on his blade died out instantly! He opens his eyes wide, digesting the old man’s words…

Teenage boy:
Ahhhhhh…………..!
He shouts at the sky! His grief turns into anger! The sky turns dark…
#05 Grassland -Day
The sky is dark. The land starts to shake. There is a humming rumble behind the warrior. The warrior turns and looks behind him…
There are a several hundreds barbarians lead by the teenage boy, charging towards the warrior… The teenage boy had turned from an innocent boy into a homicidal maniac. The warrior’s troop appears and charge toward the barbarian! A deadly war had begins!

The warrior collapses and kneels down in front of the old man…
The old man stands up from his floating position and walks a few steps toward the warrior…
The warrior looks up to the old man, the old man smiles at him and vaporizes in the air…
The warrior is stunned; he then looks at his sword… Some vines suddenly emerge from the soil and wind around the sword. The vines stretch up until the handle covering the whole sword and flowers start to blossom…
The old man voice echo in the air…

当你离黄金只有三尺时
2009年1月7日 星期三
失败最常见的原因之一，就是受到暂时失败挫折时就轻易放弃的习惯。每个人或多或少都曾犯此错误。
达比（R. U. Darby)有一位叔父，在美国淘金热的年代里，也着迷于斯，并远赴西部淘金，一心想发财。当时没有人告诉他，从人脑所挖掘出来的金矿，远多于从地底挖出来的。他标示了一块地，拿起锄铲便开始埋头工作。
辛苦了几个礼拜后，他终于发现了金光闪闪的矿石，但它需要机器将矿石运到地面上。于是，他不动声色地掩盖好矿区，循原路回到家，将此发现告知亲友和一些朋友。他们筹足钱，买了所需的机器，并将至装运上船。达比和这位叔父一起回到矿区继续工作。
地越钻越深，达比和叔父的希望也随之节节升高。然后事情发生了。矿脉突然不见了。他们的美梦顿时成空！他们继续探钻、挖掘，绝望地在想寻回矿脉...但一切努力终归徒然。
最后，他们决定放弃了。
他们将机器以几百美元的价格卖给一位旧货商，心灰意冷地搭火车回家。旧货商请一位采矿工程师来查看矿区，并估算一番。工程师提出他的看法，认为采矿计划之所以失败，在于矿区主人不懂得 “断层线” （伪脉 - False Line）所致。据他估计表示，矿脉应该就在距离达比和叔父放弃挖掘之处三尺远的地方而已。没错，矿脉的确重现于工程师所指之处。达比谨记他在 “距离黄金三尺之处放弃” 而损失巨额财富的教训，并对他日后所选的工作颇有助益。他的办法很简单，只是对自己说：“我曾在极力黄金三尺之处放弃过，如今我决不会因为他们说‘不’而停止！”
达比跻身少数每年卖出寿险超过百万的人之一。他将其‘坚持力’归功于在金矿事业‘放弃’所得的教训。
以上文段节录自Napoleon Hill 的著作 《思考致富圣经 - Think and Grow Rich》。
**************************************************************
我有一个目标，一个讲出来人人都当我是疯子的目标，一个从我二十岁开始，到现在十多年了，还一直努力迈向的目标，我的目标很明确，也很简单，就是要拍一部属于马来西亚的电影，属于马来西亚各个不同人种，却又同一民族（马来西亚民族）的电影。不要问我为什么要那样做，我有我的理由。
到槟城定居后，观察了槟城的城市景观，各种文化现象和基础设施又产生了一个梦想。我梦想将槟城推展成一个东南亚的电影制作中心， 东南亚的好莱坞。除了国产电影，最重要的是吸引国外的电影制作剧组，长期的到槟城拍摄电影和完成他们的后期制作。
槟城的天然资源并不丰富，至少我所看到的是这样子。但对拍电影来说槟城占尽天时、地利、人和。
天时：这个城市气候怡人（至少对电影人来说是怡人的！）。这里阳光普照，色温准确。天空蓝白分明。
人和：她拥有一个取之不尽，用之不竭的资源，就是她的历史和文化。但这种软力量，往往都被第三世界国家忽略。
地利：我梦想将槟城变成一个电影城，因为站在电影制作人的角度来看，这个城市景点丰富、地点集中、住宿交通膳食异常便利，而且治安良好。在这里拍摄电影绝对符合经济效应。
站在电影创作人的角度看来，这个城市历史悠久丰富，而且没有断层。文化丰富多彩，创作元素极其丰富。Francis Light 墓地、E&O Hotel、开垦槟城的事迹、升旗山的辉煌时代等等… 这些都是绝佳的电影题材。而且槟城各个组群本身的文化体现比起其他州属凸现。在这里可以找到许许多多的创作元素，足以震撼世界！（看白色电影）
我梦想将槟城变成一个电影城，因为站在居民的角度来看，电影业的‘勃起’对经济绝对有益！试想想，电影制作无论短期或长期，可以带动多少行业：
- 酒店业、小贩，餐厅 （一大队制作人员的住宿、膳食）
- 通讯和科技业 （许多人不知道，电影制作中用得最多最频密的不是摄影机，而是通话机、手机和手提电脑）
- 室内装潢、装修业 （电影场景、置景的制作）
- 汽车买卖、汽车租凭 （电影制作的交通需求，工作人员、演员的流通量在制作期间是很大的）网站、广告、印刷、Event Management 等行业 （电影的宣传需求）
- 器材买卖/出租业
从文化上讲，电影业蓬勃，绝对需要许多创作人员、艺术工作者。有市场，就会有供应。从事表演、音乐、文学、设计、摄影、舞蹈、雕朔创作等等，这些人将会云集槟城，槟城将会成为文化中心。又是另一个旅游卖点！试想想 L A 有什么？为什么凡到 California 的游客必会到 LA 一游？LA 景色又不是特别美，为什么？只因为那里有好莱坞，有 Broadway。 有表演，又可以看明星，不小心又可以在街上碰上电影拍摄！文化本来就是一门好生意！
从做生意的角度来看， 发展电影业的经济效应很高。在开始阶段，我们几乎不需要加建基础设施。不需要建高速公路、电缆、光纤、铁路、工厂... 完完全全可以最大限度的利用槟城现有的资源和基础设施。宏观来看，对一个城市而言，可以说是无本生意！
电影到后来流通到市场与观众见面时又可以间接的带动这个城市的旅游业。因为反映槟城优美风光和人文文化的电影是旅游业绝佳的宣传。而电影的创作需求，需要不断地发掘新的拍摄景点，因此除了对现有的旅游景点有宣传作用外，也可发掘新景点。
这只是初期阶段，一旦基础打好了，进而还可以进一步发展：
- 电影展 - 电影展其实是一门稳赚不赔的“好生意”。国际各大城市都由电影展。通过主办国际电影展，我们可以吸引许多外国电影工作者到槟城。即可发展电影事业，又可带动旅游业。而且可以进一步将槟城发展成东南亚区的影片销售枢纽。
- 成立电影学院或主办各种电影技术的短期课程。吸引国际学生到槟城学习和消费。又可带动技术交流。
- 发展各种轻工业以满足电影周边产品的需要。（举例：玩具制造、书本印刷、纺织品等）
从来没听过他们说：“那我们该怎么做？”、“要从哪里下手？”或“你有什么提议？”。我想可能这就是所谓的“失败者症候群”吧!
那到底该怎么开始呢？马来西亚的电影业者都聚集在首都吉隆玻呀！在槟城想租电影器材简直就是一场恶梦！其实这些都是人为能够解决的问题。槟城这个城市占尽天时、地利。这些问题只是人和的一部分，When there is a will, there is a way!
我们必须从本身做起，将槟城的电影事业基础完善起来才能吸引大量外资投入在槟城拍摄电影。只要我们同时发展两个专题，即软体与硬体两大方面。
软体- 分为技术人员和创作人员。人力资源是电影业的主力。
硬体- 分为器材和拍摄场景。
软体a - 技术人员
有如企业为其产品开拓市场一样，欲发展槟城的电影事业以吸引外资，就必须让世界知道和看到我们的独特卖点。其中，本地的电影工作者是发展电影事业的主力军。
马来西亚其实拥有许多有素质的影视技术人员。他们大多集中在首都吉隆玻，当然，因为那边才有工作嘛。有多少个人可以像我一样疯子似的单枪匹马来槟城开垦？（结果头破血流，他妈的槟城！）因此我们首要的是将他们从吉隆坡吸引到槟城。建议如下：
- 授予拨款(Grant)或通过低息借贷方式鼓励影视从业员到槟城开设公司。如此一来将会为槟城的市民提供就业机会，并且进行初步的技术转移。将技术人员从吉隆坡转移至槟城。
- 通过扣税（或其他方式）鼓励本地商家赞助在槟城拍摄的电影，将制作费提高以达到国际水准。但条件是制作团队必须引进一些国外的影视专才，如此一来将能够在短期内提升技术人员的素质和制作水平，进行进一步技术转移。将槟城的技术人员素质提升至国际水平。
创作是电影事业的核心！要吸引外资到槟城投资电影事业，我们至少得把他们的视野吸引过来。不然，他们楸都不楸你一眼，你还谈什么Pearl of the Oriental 搞屁呀！
我们必须从本身制作的电影下手！在槟城拍摄的电影不能一味模仿外国电影，必须拥有槟城独特的身份(Unique Identity),这样才能将槟城的独特卖点(USP, Unique Selling Point)宣传到国际舞台这必须由本地的创作人员来完成，也必须由本地的创作人员才能完成。不然就像十年前的HVD，香港监制、香港编剧、香港导演再加一半的香港演员，却拍马来西亚的故事。结果拍出一堆垃圾。面对市场不堪一击！（我当时是助导，身历其境！）
其中剧本的创作是根本。然而一个好剧本是需要投入大量时间和精力的。我们可以通过以下一点来发展剧本的创作：
- 效仿政府计划公开招标的方式，征收与槟城有关的电影题材。合格者授予拨款(Grant)，条件是必须在限定时间内完成剧本 。
在开始阶段大可不必大兴土木，耗费巨资兴建什么电影厂、电影城之类的！槟城的自然景观和历史文物已经足够为电影事业提供良好的拍摄场景。但是电影拍摄器材确是发展槟城电影事业所必需的。
目前，电影器材租聘公司都在吉隆玻而且价格不菲。若由官方投资和管理这些器材，并以低于市场价格租借给在槟城拍摄的电影制作团队，肯定能吸引不少电影人到槟城。如此投资金额并不昂贵，而且对于提升槟城的技术人员水平都有帮助。
我们必须让世界看到我们的独特卖点。We have to let people see what we have! 其中，本地的电影工作者是我们不可忽视的资源。若能得到资金的资助，许多本地电影工作者将有机会到国外参加影展。我们可以委任他们为槟城的电影事业大使，向外国片商推销槟城，进而引进外国投资，在槟城进行电影制作。
当然，电影工作者必须负责任！老是拍一些什么 《三代》啦、什么《夜。明》啦，再拍这些狗屁自慰 电影（只满足自己的拍摄欲望，而妄顾市场，然后飘飘然地自称艺术的电影，我称之为自慰电影！） 再拍这些狗屁自慰电影的‘倒眼’应该去吃屎！
**************************************************************
以上我所说的，我都曾经传达给槟城的州政府。不知是不是因为我‘不是人’（Nobody)，还是因为我所托非人。（当然啦，新官上任，门前都会莫名其妙多很多只狗！）还是这些有两个口的人后知后觉、不知不觉、听而不闻、视而不见？我不知道，这个选择题，让两个口的人自己答！“权为民所用、利为国所谋”这是他们自己讲的，我（广东话）“放长双眼”！
我在槟城开垦了三年，也失业了三年！为了这个目标和梦想，欠了一堆债！其中欠最多的，也是最难还的---人情债！
08年8月，接了一单活。还以为是一单大活，又借又租地弄了三架摄影机，请了一大票人，结果东家没钱还、也不想还！搞得我头破血流，槟城的商人也真他妈的Cinna-Man! 难怪槟城的企业也没几个真正闯得出来！统统都得了Cinna-Man 病毒！
我必须回到吉隆玻找工作，还债！我很失望，跟太太说我想放弃推展槟城为电影城了。太太回了我一句，“你离黄金只有三尺！”。这句话像冤魂般缠了我几个星期。
想了几个星期，还是决定离开槟城！我现在离黄金只有三尺，但是手指已经挖破了、见骨了！我要到吉隆玻去搬一架挖泥机来，他妈的将你挖够三百尺！
她妈的槟城，有种你别走！下次我回来一定狠狠地报仇！将你彻底的拍烂！拍到观众见到你就腻！（其实只要有创意，拍他个整百年都看不腻！哈！）
我有一个目标，一个讲出来人人都当我是疯子的目标。在我离黄金只有三尺的时候，我决定在新的一年里，换个方式来挖！
新年快乐！

没有经验也是一种经验！
2008年11月20日 星期四
他是一名美术工作者。因此他对颜色很敏感。而且对电影有相当的了解。跟他聊过天以后发现他的看法、理念跟我满接近的。于是便请他担当《当我们同在一起》的美术指导。刚开始他跟我说了一句话。他说他没有经验。
当时我在想，‘没有经验’，不也是一种经验吗？后来他欣然接受。
我要的是他的脑袋、他的眼睛。所有有经验的人，不也是从没有经验开始的吗？难道我就很有经验吗？没经验，没关系，我们边做边学。“学中做、做中学”，我就是这样教导儿子的（虽然他目前只有两岁）。
曾经有人告诉我说，“你拍的第一部电影，应该找很有经验的老江湖”。他说的不无道理。但是我更希望找理念相近，“心中那团火还在燃烧”的人做伙伴。你说不是吗？
除了吃饭、睡觉、拉屎、呼吸，其他事没人天生就会的。不会就学！（连做爱也要学的哦！可以去读读素女经，哈！）不会就学，是我对新事物的态度。不懂广告，我花了两年自学，现在略知一二。不会网络，我花了一年学习网络行销，现在看着看着不爽，可以换掉部落的桌面。（部落换了新装，不知道你有没有察觉？）
有的人，一叫他做些新事物，一开口就说： “我不会！” 难道你就不能说 “你能不能教我？” 或 “我该向谁讨教？”。再不然可以上网找啊？我们的教育是填鸭式教育。在学校被填鸭了至少12年，大家都误解了何谓 Education。每个人都说教育就是从一杯水倒到另一杯水。结果水越来越少，也越来越浊。 Education 源自希腊文 Educo ，意思就是学习的方法和能力。试想想，当你将这种能力化成本能，你想知道什么，即使没有老师、没有学校、没有资源，你都有办法学到！这才是知识传播的真谛！（知识传播和人格传播是有分别的）
所以，只要 “心中那团火” 不熄灭，没有经验，就是最好的经验！
