这几年来接触台湾的节目多了，认识的台湾艺人也多了，甚至于不太关我事的台湾政治人物及环境也知道一些些。
但有一样我还是不大明白的，就是他们常用的一些，嗯，俚语吧。譬如，“机车”。
机车就是我们Malaysia所说的motorbike啦。
如果这里老师叫我用机车造句，我会说，“今天我骑机车撞死了巫青团长希山目（不识）丁。”
但是让台湾人造句呢，可能会是：
“凯（子）里那个人超机车的。”
或，
“机车咧，今天拉（屎）非达又没来开国会。”
很玄吧？
也因此在MSN问了个台湾大学生，syamp。经过他无厘头东南西北咸咸湿湿胡扯一番后，终于明白机车的用法。
解释：
1机车，形容词（adjective啦）。贱。“凯（子）里那个人超机车的”等于“凯（子）里那个人超贱的”。
2机车，感叹词（interjection啦）。多用于负面的语句，妈的。“机车咧，今天拉（屎）非达又没来开国会”等于“妈的咧，今天拉（屎）非达又没来开国会”。
--------MSN---------
syamp says:
and, "TFB，你很機車耶" equal to "TFB，你很handsome耶"
----------------------
他妈的，syamp你当我是傻的啊？！！
*** 笑话***
他这人很机车。。。结果就被人骑走了。。。冷。。。

A tribute to DFK 6498
"DFK 6498"
"Strike Zone"
What these two titles of short film lead to is one brilliant person's name, Cameron Duncan.
The short film DFK 6498 was started with Cameron starring as an inmate living in a prison. "... The only prison which leaves the door unlocked, yet there's this punishment that you just can't escape..." this is how Cameron narrated. Cameron described himself as inmate who committed no crime yet being sentenced to imprisonment. And, everyday the head guard is so punctual and tied him to the room, "... like Kryptonite to Superman ..." he said.
At the beginning of the film, you might think it is about a prisoner's life. You are half right.
Cameron was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, at his left femur when he was 16. After that he is required to go for Chemotherapy. The film DFK 6498 was all about his experience during his chemo. "DFK 6498" is his patient number of sort. He made an amazing film on telling how was it like of people who facing devastating illnesses and undergoing treatment, the chemo which he described as like "teetering on the edge of the building" which make him wanted to "jump". But he didn't.
"I live my life for my parents, for the people I love. For when I die, it is not me who will be affected. It's the ones I leave behind"
Probably those weak souls who always want to end their lives, should watch the film and start to care about the people who love them!
"Freedom is taken so much for granted!"
He also said he loved dreaming, "... the hardest part about dreaming is to be awake, coz when I was awake I am still here..." in his room for his treatment.
Cameron Duncan is a young New Zealand filmmaker, who has won a number of film competitions. He started film making at 12 or 13. A talented young director.
His another film Strike Zone is about a young softball couch, starred by Cameron himself, who diagnosed with cancer. The film ending with his own death and his own funeral. The film tells a story of himself, a softball lover and sadly, a cancer diagnosed too. He wanted to show himself as a cancer battler, by showing how hard his team won the game, and his final game.
He made a wonderful film in Strike Zone, showing his talent and skill in directing. With all the war zone shots and plays in softball game have just showed one thing, he is not only a good story teller but a gifted director too!
In the film, at the end he died on the softball field. In real life, Cameron died a few months after the film was made, at age 17.

Moral value to next generation
I was having my lunch at ground floor cafeteria when I was introduced to a colleague who was transferred from Singapore office.
This guy is quite a good chatter. He was making joke by telling us why living in Singapore is so boring like everything is so organized, buses are so punctual (surprise if a bus being late for 8 minutes!), MRT arrangement is so flawless, and in one word, "no surprise in the life there". Ha!
Then after a few chats I realized his reason of moving back to Malaysia from Singapore is because of his family. Yeah, I thought, family should always being put in the top priority no matter what.
But then he continued and said mostly because of the future of his kid.
I thought he was talking about his kid's education. However I always think Singapore has the best education system in the South-East Asian region, albeit reluctantly. Hence I asked him.
Then he said although it is true that Singapore has a better education system but something missing in the system there. He was giving me an example of his cousin's son.
His nephew was brought up in Singapore and now goes to primary school. There were a few times that his nephew asked his dad, "Dad, why you are not driving Mercedes?" He asked because his classmates are those rich kid whose father are driving a Mercedes. He was getting all this influences from his surrounding friends. After a while, his cousin bought a Sonata probably because of the "pressure" from his own son. But, he added, although he's bought a new Sonata, in some school outing event those kids are more prefer to sit in those Mercedeses, including his own son!
A primary school students have already known how to judge one thing by its value of money? Say frankly, I didn't even know or care the model of the car my mother drove me to school everyday when I was 12! (Yeah, I grew up in moderate/low income family and my mum just drove a Nissan Sunny. But hey, I was happy that time!)
Apparently, it is the appropriate moral value the one that missing in their entire education system, if not entire society. They might have the best education system, but the kids are going to grow up with such values of what car is the more luxury one, or of what brand of the handphone is the latest, or whatever which are based on the value of money!
This guy is probably making a right decision of moving back to Malaysia, I'll say, though he had his pay cut by half because of the currency exchange difference!

富翁的屋簷
一个故事:
也因此，帮一个人，不应该是扶持着他。而应是引导他，让他能够走自己的路，也让他有个机会，利用他所会的去帮助更多的人。
有位善心的富翁，蓋了一棟大房子，他特別的要求營造的師傅，把那四周的屋簷建加倍的長，以使窮苦無家的人，能在其下暫時躲避風雪。我 想，人是有惰性的。若一个人的每一件事都有旁人代为担心，代为安排，这人将认定其身边的一切都理所当然。久而久之，其惰性开始控制其大脑，对一切都不用 心。而当这一切的帮助被移去，这人就开始对身边的一切不得意不满，开始埋怨其所面对的“不公”，但是却忘记之前一切的“理所当然”其实也是对其他人的不 公！房子建成了，果然有許多窮人聚集在屋簷下，他們甚至擺起攤子做買賣，並生火煮炊。嘈雜的人聲與油煙，使富翁不堪其擾，不悅的家人也常與寄居簷下者爭吵。
冬天，有個老人在簷下凍死了，大家交相罵富翁的不仁。
夏天，一場颶風，別人的房子都沒事，富翁的房子因為房簷特別的長，居然被掀了頂，村人都說是惡有惡報。
重修屋頂時，這次富翁只要求建小小的房簷，富翁把省下的錢捐給慈善機構，並另外蓋了一間小房子。這房子所能庇蔭的範圍遠比以前的房簷小，但四面有牆，是棟正式的房子。
許多無家可歸的人，也都在其中獲得暫時的庇護，並在臨走前，問這棟房子是哪位善人捐蓋的。
沒有幾年，富翁成了最受歡迎的人。即使在他死後，人們還繼續受他的恩澤而紀念他。
為甚麼同樣的善心，卻有那麼大的不同？故事中富翁的一片善心，從被認為是為富不仁、惡有惡報到變成是最受歡迎的人，這中間的變化是甚麼因素造成的呢？是大 房簷與小房子的差別嗎？還是其中的用心有甚麼不同？是甚麼原因讓富翁被責備為富不仁、惡有惡報？又是甚麼原因讓富翁被感激與紀念？
答案在－－寄人簷下的感覺和生活在獨立房子中的感覺不同！你知道生活在富翁的大房簷下，那些窮苦的人們會得到哪些的感受？而生活在獨立受尊重沒有比較的房中，那些窮苦的人們又會有哪些感受？
在組織或團隊中，甚麼樣的狀況是等同於寄人簷下？
事事都要依靠你？不放心同仁處理事情？常常要看臉色辦事？以防弊為基礎設立的運作結構？還是……。
甚麼樣的狀況是有獨立的空間？
給予清楚的目標？規範內自主，給予做事的空間？還是以核心價值交付責任，啟發能力與成長？還是以願景、使命激發自覺與承擔？還是……。
媽媽甚麼事都安排好，小孩子無法獨立；主管甚麼事都能幹，部屬不負責任。「屋簷」伸太長，一片好心變成為富不仁，「獨立」小房子，卻變成最受歡迎的人，這中間的差別值得我們深思。
為善的本質是甚麼？領導最終的目的是甚麼？為善與領導共通處又是甚麼？只是解決眼前的問題？還是協助人獨立站起來，讓他們可以為自己負責？
所以領導，不能只是注重事情表面的完成，也不止於問題的解決，更重要的責任是：啟發同仁夥伴的能力，還給同仁與夥伴一個真真實實的人來，要當教練不是當主管。啟發夥伴的自覺與負責任，是幫助組織與團體成長的絕對關鍵要素。
也因此，帮一个人，不应该是扶持着他。而应是引导他，让他能够走自己的路，也让他有个机会，利用他所会的去帮助更多的人。

Happy 48th Kemerdekaan
As a middle age adult, you are still considered teenager in this world.
You are ambitious. You have an unrealistic schedule of time for your success.
Despite the fact that you are internally not healthy, you are ignoring the very signals sent out from all the unhappy organs to you.
Hope you have a better brain and nervous system replacement soon, the better brain which would listen to the cries from the organs, the better nervous system which would do appropriate action to make your own healthier.
Hope you would finally realize that the enemy is not from internal, but external.
Hope you get well soon, Malaysia.
Happy 48th Birthday !
Your sincerely,
t.f.b.
