知識改變命運,進修改變官運

小友來電郵告知有高就了,也是紀律部隊,恭喜一番之餘,還是不免老氣橫秋,勸勉幾句:

恭喜你踏入新的里程,你是個有很好個性的女孩,由你進學堂開始,我就很看好,希望你一切順利。 有一點我必須長氣再說,一定要讀書,好好進修,早日升做幫辦。知識改變命運,進修改變官運,切記切記!

星期天收拾舊物,又重看了何達老師給我的幾封信,原來他每次的鼓勵,在不知不覺間,不但影響了當年愛寫詩的我,更影響了今天愛訓人的我。

李銀河與張競生

清早七時多,在網上看南方人物周刊,是期主題「風口浪尖的性研究者:與大眾常識相撞傷痕累累」,寫的是李銀河,內容提及中國性學研究第一人張競生,又google一番,個多小時,越click越興奮,這個學期的功課就寫這個。

開課至今三星期,答應了要替朋友做的事,一件都未有做完,應該要看的材料,買了打印了,便是如此了。

太多事情,太少時間,應該好好研究如何把division of labour 和 social network的理論合二為一地實踐。

深霄重看龍鳳配

背著書包上學堂,轉眼兩星期,竟然沒有閒過下來。

周末晚,深霄眼悃才上床,開了房間電視,順著選台制逐一按,明珠台在播黑白片,場景似曾相識,過了幾個鏡頭,出現威廉荷頓和柯德利夏萍,原來是龍鳳配,雖然已看了數遍,還是選定了,然後按了睡眠程式,邊看邊睡。

明明已看過數遍,卻越看越有勁,久久未能入睡,邊看邊睡,變了邊看邊想,想起早兩天在課堂上重看老師播的羅生門,想起粵語長片版龍鳳配的吳楚帆,想到很多很多如今安在的悲涼,想到kitty說寫blog的人多少都有點自戀,很多很多......到了戲的尾段,看著堪富利保家與柯德利夏萍的真假糾纏,眼角竟濕了。

一廂情願的羅生門




史學方法的第一課,老師準備了黑澤明的電影羅生門,過了兩天,在信報副刊看一段寫了范增和馬悅然的糾葛(見該給諾貝爾文學獎評委馬悅然先生發個獎致文學報),一廂情願的羅生門,紳士與流民,你信誰?

讀史人最愛甚麼門,答案是:
羅生門

好瀟灑,也可以好漂亮



漂亮的場面,漂亮的來賓,漂亮的主角,漂亮的禮物,漂高的謝辭,漂高的過程,漂亮的完結,漂亮的新開始,真的真的很漂亮。

餞別宴上台致辭,就像奧斯卡得獎人一樣,一邊上台,一邊把擬好的致謝名單從口袋裡掏出來,接過咪,首先多謝在場每一位盛意光臨,多謝上司的包容和信任,多謝同事長期以來合作愉快,多謝小友們使我這幾年多了很多啟發,多謝爸爸媽媽盡心教導我做正直的人,最後,last, but no least,當然是多謝我的另一半,讓我的理想成為現實.....有稿在手,竟然會漏了沒有把兩位不在場的朋友讀出,一位是當年獨具慧眼錄取了我的鍾姑娘,一位是高風亮節身教重於言教的顏老師,真是美中不足。

散席時,遂位握手,一共五十多個握手,都是那般實在。

回家後再把這兩天回覆的四十多篇電郵看一篇,這十六年,不是枉過的。

I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. It's been a pleasant experience to work with you. Please feel free to contact me should I be of any assistance.
Cheers


Only a few people can have the chance and 'guts' to pursue life goal in the midst of career. I admire your courage, truly. As a friend, may I give you my fullest support and blessing.
Joyce, you may not know how much you've done to me during the years. Your warm regards and encouragement at times, your support and care during my days at Canada, your true heart to me and also to others ........ all these are kept deep in my heart and I'll always treasure you as my beloved friend.
I'm sure we'll still be in touch in the times ahead.
Take care !

Wishing you All the Very Best & Success in Life !!
p.s. You are a sweet and wonderful lady. Tony is a very lucky guy! (I'm sure he agrees to it , hehe !)
Best Regards,


Lucky you, I wish I can do the same thing as you. I want you to know that is my pleasure to have such a good friend like you. Although we were not working together a lot, we do have many good memories with our 128 classmates in STI.
I will miss you and you are always welcome to join our 128 annual gathering.
Take care and enjoy life.
Keep in touch

It's really glad to know that you can quit this tedious job and continue studying your favourite subject. This is also something I'm looking for but I still need more time to get close to my target.
Anyway, do enjoy life and all the best for whatever you want to achieve, of course with full support and loving care of Tony.
Best Regards,


Noted with thanks!
Thanks a lot for your email and proud of having been working with you.
Wish you all the best in the years ahead.
See you!


I really admire you. You can then enjoy your life, do whatever you want and do not need to bother about work. There is nothing better than that, anyway, have a wonderful time.
Cheers

Wish you all the best in the days ahead.... I enjoy working with you in the past 2 years in this department.

Good luck!!!
I am interested in the Chinese Culture Research too. Hope to chance to share with you in this aspect!!!

Goodbye and wish you all the best in your future endeavour. If in the days ahead I can be of assistance in any way, do let me know.

It is really a brain-drain. The Department loses an invaluable asset like you an experienced and nice Officer.
Anyhow, I appreciate that you can enjoy rest of your life by continuing with study which is also my dream.
I hope you enjoy early retirement!


My heartiest congratulations to you on your last day of duty. Wishing you all the best of luck, wealth, health, happiness and JOY in the years ahead! A bunch of roses is attached to celebrate your success throughout your service with the Department. Well done, Joyce.

Just learn that you are leaving us. This message recall my memory when we were working together in WHDC. I have a lot of special memory for what had happened in WHDC. Of course the most important were the people I worked with, and you are one of them. Do you still remember the time we went for drink together, remember the "格三星"? You are the girl who has the most tough and hard arms that I 've ever know. I wish all the best in your new leaf of life.
Keep in touch!


Thank you for your e-mail. I have to say congratulation to you. Since then, you are 'free' and will have ample time to make your plan a real. At the same time, it is not without sad to learn that one more nice and capable colleague like you will leave the service, which is indeed a loss to all the persons once and currently working with you, including me.
Anyway, take care and keep in touch.
Cheers!

Congratulations !!! Wish u all the best and looking forward to your masterpiece, ok?
Cheers,

願妳在重返校園後能夠找著理想、新的啟發及另一種幸福!
亦想向妳說聲 "謝謝",感謝妳不時給我的勉勵與提點。
保持聯絡!


我都要多謝你一直o既幫忙同鼓勵
如果需要幫忙,請你隨時打俾我
祝你生活愉快、 事事順利同身體健康


我也必須向妳說聲多謝 ! 這些年來有妳的支持和鼓勵,令我可以不斷成長。
祝學業有成,婚姻愉快。


來自長官的美言和支持故然教人鼓舞,一位久未合作的同事提起當年格三星的往事,那種昔日情懷,很溫馨。

過了一夜,又發了一個電郵給小友們

昨日是我在部門的最後一個工作天,回首過去,到了此刻,一切放下,無怨無悔。

昨夜我在席間的致謝辭,其中多謝了你們390,391對我的啟發,教學相長,這幾年我真的成熟了很多。尤其面對不被了解和不被明白的時候,更懂得如何自處和找適當的 朋友傾訴,因此,我也更能體諒我過往覺得很老土很衰格的上司。我特別指出這一點,是希望你們日後多點思考,少點埋怨,這樣,可以有更大胸懷成就更大的事業。


there is a will, there is a way,不要忘記要有理想和夢想,多想好事,好事自然會出現。

最後多謝昨夜出席或未能出席的每一位,你們是我一生美好的回憶。

今早醒得比Tony還要早,給他準備早餐,送他下樓,到公園打了兩遍太極,繞著窩山跑了四個圈,回來開始一天的閱讀和寫作,下午回學校去了三節課,這都是早前設計好的每天例行程序,第一天順利啟動了,漂亮,可以是如斯簡單。
