日本打風
September 9th, 2018星期二颱風飛燕吹襲日本時,我在四國的德島市旅行。颱風直吹德島市,像十號風球般狂風暴雨。
主婚人
October 1st, 2017結婚證書要有兩個主婚人簽名,一般都是男女雙方各派一個主婚人,最普遍是雙方父親,但其實任何年滿十八歲的人都可以作為見證人簽結婚證書的。
今日去證婚,第一次遇上失明的主婚人要簽結婚證書。在儀式開始前,我在一張白紙上劃了一條橫線,練習簽名時我要給她的指示。又特地確保她在簽名枱舒適就座,在婚禮過程中她不用走動。與人溝通,做足準備,令婚禮順利進行,是做證婚律師的重要職責。今天又充實了我的經驗了。
返回校園結婚 (2)
October 7th, 2015兩年前第一次去中學證婚。兩年後同一日,我再去到同一間中學,為另一對同班同學證婚。今年的新郎是兩年前婚禮的兄弟。
兩年前我為了學校婚禮寫了關於學校禮堂的speech,本來打算今年再拿出來講一次。但今次的新人要求我講他們婚禮的theme “Time is Love”。我寫了篇新講詞。
“時間可以沖淡一切。但站在我們前面的一對證明了唔係所有嘢都會隨時間而變淡。佢哋由中一認識,中三開始拍拖,喺埋一齊已很多年了。
時間見證成長,時間昇華感情。
今日返去中學結婚,特別有意義。
回想第一次去這個學校禮堂,應該是辦理登記入學。你哋由小學生變做中學生,由小朋友變做少年。展開成長新階段。
今日在呢個禮堂結婚。由情侶結為夫婦,組織一個家,展開人生新階段。
執子之手,与子偕老。時間會繼續見證你們的愛,越來越好,二合為一的人生,越來越圓滿。”
Stay calm and be happy
July 1st, 2015Last night I went to a restaurant which stopped happy hour and the usual credit card discount on public holiday and public holiday eve. We left. My friend said she was sick and tired of Hong Kong being so greedy and decided to become more aggressive to combat greedy people.
I take a totally different approach.
When faced with negative people/event, if I counteract with more negativity, it would only make matters worse. (-1)+(-1)=-2.
I’d rather disassociate myself and not be affected by it. Stay calm and be happy. (-1)+0=-1.
Developing this formula further, I should actually do more good to balance it out so the world is not worsened by bad people/business. (-1)+(+1)=0
It’s a privilege to be able to choose to be happy or not happy, greedy or not greedy.
For those who choose to be unhappy, they deserve to be unhappy.
For those who choose to be greedy, they will never have enough, they don’t deserve to be happy.
世界那麼大,我最多只是一粒微塵。如果還要做壞塵粒污染地球,枉為人!
