我喜欢车, 但我不懂车.
虽然不像Yam那么有研究, 但偶尔还是会上网看看新车, 乘坐巴士的时候还是喜欢看路上的车子.
想和大家分享在今年六月中Honda推出的新型燃料電池車 - FCX Clarity.
Honda这次使用的是先進的氫燃料電池. 电池车行驶过程中只会排放出水, 很酷吧!

Though its not a super car, but its definitely in my wish list.

Yes!
You said No to your life, that's why you're not living
昨天下午办完公事后去Orchard晃了一下..
最近刚换了手机, 可以随时上网处理事情,
心想反正都在Orchard, 不如就找部电影往电影院泡一下吧
Yes Man... 3.00pm.. Cool!
意外的是竟然几乎满座, 剩下几张票而已
大概是学校假期, 学生们都被放出来了
今天早报的影评写:
"这个故事很有意思，它前面教人不要只沉浸在挫败感中，要勇于新的尝试改变生活，
才可能找到快乐。后面一转，提醒人们不要一条原则过一生，要懂得随机应变，
才能应付复杂的现实生活。电影主题讲一个简单浅显的道理，有激励性，有教育性，
但用娱乐手法包装得很精彩， 观众在不知不觉间受到潜移默化。"
每一年好萊塢都有蛮多的motivational movies, 有些严肃, 有些轻松
喜欢好萊塢用轻松喜剧的方式来带出一些小人物的故事
电影里的一场戏, 一句笑话也足可影响你一辈子
说人生道理, 有时何必如此沉重
过去这两年有好几部影响我很深的电影其实都是一些小品, 喜剧
而且都是很随性, 很spontaneous的情况下去看的
记得有一次和SR在商场吃完饭后走着走着突然兴起想看电影
就跑去电影院随便找了一部最快开场的电影
Click / Adam Sandler website
后来把这部电影推荐了给几位朋友
有些没感觉
有些和那时的我一样最后都哭了
在我和SR选择看这部电影时都认为我们是要去看喜剧的
结果如此感动, 影响如此之深
Little Miss Sunshine
No Reservations
啊......离题了.. 今天要讲的是Yes Man!
和年轻人(当然包括我自己) 看电影真爽
大家的反应都好热烈好兴奋好直接
在其中一场Ｊim Carrey救人的戏
他竟然唱起了1997年Third Eye Blind的Hit - Jumper
八零年代出生的你，如果喜欢听英文歌的话，一定记得这首歌
跳楼的人成功被救了后，大家竟然热烈拍掌，为Jim Carrey欢呼
电影ending的时候，大家又拍了一次
乊 看来大家都很enjoy这部电影
坐在我前面的情侣在离场前还互相亲了对方一下... aw.....
Dont you love happy ending...?

烂节目与好节目
这两个星期因为室友的电脑坏了, 常和她一起看电视, 所以无意间看了这两个节目
(这也证明电脑会让小孩因沉迷于其中而造成家庭成员关系疏离..呵呵)
心晴大动员Life Transformers
Website: 节目内容
节目特色
繁忙的都市生活将新加坡人压得透不过气，长期下来，大家行同陌路各人自扫门前雪，莫管他家瓦上霜。。。此节目就是要唤起国人深埋于底的爱心让大家知道其实在繁华的大都市里，住着一群被忽略的国人。他们收入低、受的育不多、住宿的条件差，是急需帮助的一群。。。希望此节目能成为这群贫苦人的人生转捩点。。。 现代年轻人养尊处优，特别是80年代后出生的新一代，更被冠上“草莓族”的号-拥有华丽的外表，但容易被捏碎，经不起风吹雨打。此节目让这群“草莓族有机会认清社会现实，也让他们有机会尽自己的一份力去帮助社会上较不幸的一群。
如果制作人人认为那是抛砖引玉的做法, 那我只觉得你太肤浅了
你应该没有看过其他电视台制作的环保节目吧
整个节目的感觉比较像电视台在捧新人
是轻松做环保还是一堆年轻主持人在胡闹
观众自己懂得判断
(以上也是阿苗之意见，我们都有同感）

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_in_the_United_States#Waste
Worldwide there are numerous environmental organizations attempting to ban the use of polystyrene. One such organization in the U.S. is Californians Against Waste. The city of Berkeley, California, was one of the first cities in the world to ban polystyrene food packaging (called Styrofoam in the media announcements). It was also banned in Portland, Oregon, and Suffolk County, New York, in 1990. Now, over 20 US cities have banned polystyrene food packaging, including Oakland, California, on Jan 1, 2007. San Francisco introduced a ban on the packaging on June 1 2007
Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin noted:
"This is a long time coming. Polystyrene foam products rely on nonrenewable sources for production, are nearly indestructible and leave a legacy of pollution on our urban and natural environments. If McDonald's could see the light and phase out polystyrene foam more than a decade ago, it's about time San Francisco got with the program."
-----------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene#Environmental_concerns_and_bans
Disposal and environmental issues
Polystyrene is not easily recycled because of its light weight (especially if foamed) and its low scrap value. It is generally not accepted in kerbside (curbside) collection recycling programs.
On the other hand, great advances have been made in recycling expanded polystyrene at an industrial level. Many different methods of densification have been developed. This increase in density, usually greater than 15#/cubic foot makes clean polystyrene a good profit center in recycling operations. Some industrial polystyrene manufacturers accept post consumer EPS for recycling. As an example Dart Container Corporation in Mason, Michigan has an ongoing post consumer recycling operation as well as an industrial EPS scrap recycling operation.
Environmental impact
Discarded polystyrene does not biodegrade and is resistant to photolysis. Since the foamed kinds not only float on water, but also blow in the wind, it is often abundant in the outdoor environment, particularly along shores and waterways. According to the California Coastal Commission, it is now a principal component of marine debris. The plastic may also be harmful to wild animals if it is ingested by them. Polystyrene foams are produced using blowing agents that form bubbles and expand the foam. In expanded polystyrene, these are usually hydrocarbons such as pentane, which may pose a flammability hazard in manufacturing or storage of newly manufactured material, but have relatively mild environmental impact. However, extruded polystyrene is usually made with HCFC blowing agents with have effects on ozone depletion and on global warming. Their ozone depletion potential is greatly reduced relative to CFCs which were formerly used, but their global warming potential can be on the order of 1000 or more, meaning it has 1000 times greater effect on global warming than does carbon dioxide.
Recycling
Currently, the majority of polystyrene products are not recycled because of a lack of consumer awareness regarding suitable recycling facilities and methods. Expanded polystyrene can be used to make park benches, flower pots, and toys. However, polystyrene "recycling" is not a closed loop, producing more polystyrene; polystyrene cups and other packaging materials are instead usually used as fillers in other plastics, or in other items that cannot themselves be recycled and are thrown away.

Planet Green的環保節目頻道
從事收費電視節目業務的Discovery傳播集團，已於6月在美國推出稱為Planet Green的環保節目頻道。這頻道更同樣是一日24小時、年中無休的運作。而且，Discovery更投資多達5000萬美元（約3.9億港元）於原創節目。驟耳聽來，這實在匪夷所思。但觀乎Planet Green的部分重頭節目，又真的有點噱頭。
6月起美國年中無休播放例如，《地球大觀》介紹世界各地的自然奇觀，如美國大峽谷、夏威夷群島、阿拉斯加的冰川和北極光、澳洲的大堡礁、非洲撒哈拉沙漠等。
《Eco-Town》則由影星兼環保人士李安納度狄卡比奧監製，講述美國肯薩斯州的農村Greensburg去年被龍捲風摧毀後，如何重建成綠色模範市鎮。
《樂活發明家》則介紹環保發明，由太陽能烤箱、利用旋轉門發電、用垃圾和蚯蚓製造有機肥料，到自製風車、用舊光碟嵌製太陽能板、以海藻製造生化柴油、用啤酒廠的廢棄物作燃料、以豬糞肥或牛糞肥轉化成電能都有！
《The Future Makers》則發掘一些以解決環境問題為大前提的新商業模式。

星期一播放的那一集是心晴大动员最后的一集.
看着看着..我们都觉得好像在看大爱台的节目
权怡凤, 李铭顺和一班志工就如慈济的访视志工
聆听感恩户生活的不如意
为感恩户的身世流泪
再放下身段为感恩户打扫房子, 帮助他们解决问题
在节目的尾声的时候, 还会一起做心得分享
可能因为我们长期都有在接触大爱台的节目吧
所以看见类似的节目出现时, 真的有莫名的感动
平时在看电视节目的时候, 很多时候我们都有会一边看一边讲评...
"哪里可以酱做的.." , "Fwa, 没有做功课的节目..." , "Fwa, 主持人好烂..." , "Fwa, 转台..."
这一次, 我们是在不转台, 一直处于很感动的情况下看完整个节目
然后还一直称赞制作团队的用心..哈
所以希望接下来可以看到新一季的心晴大动员, 甚至是类似的节目!

绿设兵团 Go Green
Website: 节目内容
绿设兵团是新传媒最近新开的一个环保节目, 虽然是慢了好多拍, 但总算是做了一个和环保有关的
节目(期待已久)
这样的节目当然是值得我们去支持和鼓励,
但星期二晚上看了绿设兵团的首15分钟后就觉得...实在看不下去 ~~"
怎么可以教大家Reuse宝丽龙??
亏这节目还是NEA参与制作的!
宝丽龙是一种致癌物质，同时破坏保护地球的臭氧层。
喝咖啡的保丽龙杯子、 自助餐盘子，几百年後还是垃圾，继续污染环境
主持人还刻意强调说他们是清洗了这些使用过的宝丽龙餐具，然后再使用的...
用来喝咖啡的宝丽龙杯子, 粘满油滓的宝丽龙碗是无法洗净的
难道我们真的会在日常生活中用使用过宝丽龙餐具去做玩具, 装饰品吗??

整个节目的感觉比较像电视台在捧新人

捐血成功!
7年之后, 我终于又可以捐血了!
第一次是在JC的时候, 后来的几次都被rejected.
今天我负责宣导, 希望在活动结束前去试一试.
直觉告诉我我今天应该过得了.
捐血的基本准备功夫一定要做足: 早睡, 吃饱
前一晚一点才睡着..应该不算迟吧..
捐血前, 我猛啃了三个SoyJoy. - -
(那时候已经是五点, 午餐早已变成排泄物)
很多人因为怕针而不敢捐血..
从头到尾, 我完全没有感受到针刺的感觉
捐血过程快速有效, 10分钟就搞定.
这次的纪念品很应节, 是个圣诞老爷爷
捐血有什么好处?
捐血是助人益己的善行义举； 不但可以促進血液新陳代謝，有益自己的健康，
更重要的是可以帮助伤病患者挽救生命。
所以健康的你, 不要吝啬你的血哦~
更多资询 (台湾血液基金会,和新加坡有少许不同)
来临的捐血活动
Thursday, December 4, 2008
社区捐血运动 Blood Donation
社区捐血运动
日期: 6/12/2008 (every 3 months)
时间: 11am - 5pm
地点: Tzu Chi Foundation (Pasir Ris, Elias Road) &
Jurong Medical Centre (60 Jurong West Central 3)

海角七分
刚和室友看完[海角七号]回来
从散场到家到冲完凉, 我们一直讨论着
为了不扫兴, 尽量不透露剧情
- 如果我是导演, 我应该不会选田中千繪为女主角
- 女生和乐团团员之间的感情刻画不够
- 基于以上原因, 男女主角没有一见钟情, 也不是欢喜冤家, 男女主角的感情建立在什么上面?
不感动.
- 很多角色, 个个角色都有特色. 所以故事有很多分枝, 其实可以拍成三十集的连续剧.
- 本来已经都多事要交代要观众去想背后的意思, Shino在告诉女主角真相的那场戏 ,
又有心无意地制造了一个分叉. 如果是连续剧, 这个点已经可以拍五集了.
- 老婆婆没有必要打开盒子, 直接进最后一段scene就好. 有时候less is more.
- 电影不够一气呵成
- 少了茂伯, 海角就不好看了
海角是有诚意的作品. 虽然有瑕疵, 但还是一部用心的电影.
电影里有很多台湾人共同的回忆, 共同的兴趣, 共同的生活情节.
海角能成功, 因为它能够引起共鸣.
同样的道理, [钱不够用]虽然不是非常好的电影, 但它依然能卖, 依然是新加坡十大卖座电影.
*顺便踩下新加坡的连续剧, 它之因为不好看因为剧本写得不好, 没有逻辑, 无法溶入本地色彩, 没有共鸣, 没有惊喜, 演员来来去去都是那几个.
还有, (纯粹个人所得讯息) 海角啊..提醒你记得要..记得爱. 记得爱身边的人, 记得爱你在做的事,
记得爱你的工作, 记得爱你的生活. 要热血啊!
