没有新颖的题材可写，就写一篇影评（观后感）吧. . . 观赏此片距今已数个月，感触已没当初那般深。其实很久以前就想动笔了，奈何一直提不起劲 （懒根深植. . . 唉）。
《入殓师》是部日本片，去年在日本公映，今年五月杪才在本地上映。它也是今届奥斯卡最佳外语片。但在这之前，我已经从其他管道注意到此片。
乍看这个片名，有人可能会想起惊悚的日本片（至少我是这么想）。没错，这部片子与死亡有关，然而却不可怖，相反地却十分安详。生前的烦恼失意，往生后也应该得到解脱了；同样的，生前的种种过错，往生后也应该得到宽恕了。
话说故事的主人翁大悟是一个乐团的大提琴手，无奈演出并没有获多大回响，老板只好解散乐团。意兴阑珊的他迫于生计，只好卖掉心爱的大提琴，携妻返回家乡生活。
回到老家令他忆起许多往事，他家本来是间咖啡店，自从她的母亲去世后，就结业至今。他的父亲也因外遇而抛妻弃子，失踪好多年了。他对于父亲的印象也只限于小时候，非常朦胧。
有一天，他被一则条件优渥的招聘广告所吸引，年龄不拘，无须工作经验，报酬可观。从广告的工作简介，他误以为是聘请导游，就兴奋地前往该事务所应征。一踏进事务所，只见仅仅一位员工在工作，里头又放置着几口精美的棺材，心中即有不祥的预感。
后来老板通过一个再简单不过的面试就聘请了他，更令他愕然。此时他才知道他的工作是当他老板 —— 葬礼礼仪师的助手，工作范围是帮往生者化妆！由于要养家糊口，他也只好硬着头皮接受了。
从最初的极度抗拒，到专业熟练，再到后来妻子对他工作的不谅解，大悟最终体会到这份工作的庄严和价值，并学会尊重它。他了解到，死亡是从这一阶段的生命走向另一阶段的一扇门，而入殓师的职责就是要送行——让往生者们以最美的姿态离去。
那些期盼着剧情像韩剧那样赚人热泪的观众恐怕要失望了。此片的情节有时不免有些沉闷，静得连隔壁院房的声音都听得到！偶尔，悠扬的古典乐穿插其中，时而忧伤，时而澎湃，颇能激动人心。
片子后段，他相熟的泡浴场老板娘猝逝，他第一次为身边的熟人举行了告别式。他妻子也在此时体谅及尊敬他的工作。那每天吵着要卖泡浴场的儿子，此时伤心欲绝，但他再也挽不回她母亲的心了，子欲养而亲不在。
故事的结尾倒不难料，他收到他父亲逝世的消息。他心中挣扎着是否要见他憎恨的人最后一面。经历过无数次别人的生离死别后，这次他要做属于自己的一个抉择。他知道若不去就会后悔一生。
结果，他决定为他的父亲送行，亲手打理他的遗体。出乎意料的是，他父亲的手中，临死还握着一样东西，至死也不肯松开。他发现原来这是他与父亲的信物. . . 记忆中父亲朦胧的脸，竟渐渐清晰起来. . .

A not-so-boring summer without BPL
The football season might have ended, but there is no lacking of off pitch actions. . . Transfer speculations go on and on and fascinate us everyday.
It had fast become a laughing stock. The long winded transfer saga, lasted for 2 years, finally comes to an end. SAF's decision to sell cristiano ronaldo to real madrid not at all surprised me, i saw that coming all the way.
By all means, he is one of the most talented football player on the planet, he had collected all the possible silverwares and individual accolades with manchester united. Nevertheless, may be the time has come for him to part with us.
Hey trust me, it is not necessarily a sore loss for us, it may well be not the best idea for ronaldo to leave old trafford either.
A statement goes like this "No players can worth more than a club". Think twice. . . SAF certainly knows the value of a great player, that is why he making up his mind to do business with real madrid. £80 M is a huge amount, or 'vulgar fee' according to sir bobby charlton. Oh man, almost can buy newcastle FC...
Lets hope the money received from ronaldo's transaction can be entirely reinvested into the squad, and not for debt clearing purpose. With this newly found transfer budget, i guess at least 2 world class players can be purchased.
In addition, rooney wont be not shrouded by ronaldo anymore, now he is the central figure of old trafford. He can move back to the central striking role instead of flank position and shows what he can do when playing with england. ROONEY WILL BE THE NEW KING OF MANCHESTER UNITED!!!
As far as ronaldo's concern, moving on might provide new motivation to play football, but keep in mind, manchester united was built around him, his teammates were willing to sacrifise to give him enough space and opportunities to score goals.
Bernabeau dressing room as usual, is always hugely inflated with ego. Can it accomodate another player with big ego? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure, ronaldo is only one of the real madrid expensive purchases, the likes of raul, robben, higuain, kaka etc wont selflessly assist his egoism to bag goals.
On the other hand, i was kinda sad to see tevez leave us. Be frankly, it was very surprising that tevez rejected the lucrative contract offered to him. Before this i still kept the faint hope that tevez will stay with us. >.<
All these leave the massive void for SAF to fill at the frontline after the departure of two influential players. An uphill task. . . but we believe in SAF, dont we?
In short, Im glad that manchester united no1 ( may be BPL no 1 ) prima donna will be leaving us soon. Anyway, all the best to tevez and mr ronaldo =D

青春
青春 . . . 就像一辆直通车，快速地驶向未知的未来。这趟旅途是单程的，并没有提供回程的车票。
沿途种种绚丽的景色，大概也很难重温了，一切只能尘封在记忆中。
这个旅程可以很乏味，也可以很多姿多彩。一些旅客喜欢宁静与安详，细细品味旅途的静态美。
另一些旅客却截然不同，他们不甘寂寞，拒绝平凡。他们的车速要比一般人快，沿途的美景不在他们的视线范围内，以最快的速度到达目的地才是最实际的。
他们也很喜欢与其他乘客打交道，广结善缘，社交手段非常圆滑。
又有另一类型旅客是上述两种旅客的结合体。他们在日夜赶路的同时，偶尔也懂得放慢步伐，体验生命真正的意义。
他们要求的不止是城市五光十色，纸醉金迷的快乐。孩子般无机心，单纯的快乐更为重要。
这并不是单独的旅程，结伴而行的乘客不在少数。旅程有无数的驿站，有人分道扬镳，也有人加入你的旅程。如何做到开拓社交圈子的同时，也不遗忘故人， 是一大挑战。
虽然这个旅程充满难测的变数与困难，但有你们的同行，我并不孤单，你也亦然。大家互相扶持，一同享受这个旅程吧！不让青春留白，不让自己后悔. . .

离骚
好久没有更新我的部落格了. . . 原因无他，只因为我太忙或太懒，我想懒的成分居多XD
这次我“重出江湖”，因为我认为实在有抒发情感的必要. . .
话说我刚进入现今就读的大学没几天，社交能力马马虎虎，朋友也不多。 这时，我认识了她，大家颇有同是天涯沦落人之感，互相吐吐苦水，就成为朋友了。大家一起用餐，共同面对学业上的压力和障碍，偶尔分享一些心事。
没想到五个月后的今天，竟得悉她要退学，即将远赴澳洲念书了。这是我万万始料不及的，离晴天霹雳的程度不远矣 >.< 我几乎不可相信自己的耳朵，在这之前简直毫无征兆！
刚开始的时候，我有咕哝了几句，不满她为何可以一声不响地做出这决定。后来知道她对这里的人和事感到沮丧，所以决定离去。
我心中突然升起一股莫名的悲哀。悲哀并不单纯是少了一位朋友相陪，而是我们身为她的朋友，是不是没有给予足够的鼓励和支持，所以让她有此想法. . .
自问没为她做过什么，谢谢她这五个月来成为我的朋友，忍受我的坏脸色，忍耐我没意义的废话. . .
月有阴晴圆缺，人有悲欢离合。 一切既已成定局，我们只好默默地祝福她，我想这是最后我们能为她做的事了。体谅她的苦衷，支持她的决定，愿她一切安好. . .
