活在中國以外
活在中國以外 by Stanley Wong (MSc IT for Manufacture) 最近，我看過一輯關於姚明的專訪。平平無奇的訪問內容對我來說沒什麼關係，但這輯訪問卻給我帶來了一點的震撼！ 這陣子，我一直在尋找在英國或澳洲的工作及定居的機會，為了要在一些有「生活」的地方過活。在那個專訪中，一個在美國長大的中國女子用流利的英語一句一句的訪問著姚明，姚明以普通話回應著。 本來，這個是沒什麼特別。震撼的來源是來自他們身旁的一個美國人 – 女生跟姚明的翻譯員。鏡頭前的訪問員跟被訪者都是中國人，到底是什麼原因，要一個美國人來幹翻譯的工作？當時，我的腦海中突然浮現起在華威的一些生活片段 – 一位來自上海的朋友跟我說：「跟中國人(某些香港人)說英語真是不爽呀！」另一位北京人的話：為什麼香港人大多不懂說，也聽不懂普通話？ 要是我真的能夠到外國定居，我的孩子會不會要跟中國人用英語溝通呢？

看雲的心情
看雲的心情 by Nancy Chui 崔亮欣 (BSc Industrial Economics) 雲卷雲舒，雲聚雲散， 我看雲時，雲是否也在看我？拍一張照片，寫一段心情， 在我看雲的歲月裡， 雲也見證着我的故事。 香港 (2007) 童年躺在大草地，瞇着眼看天，果然如書上寫的： “藍的天，白的雲，藍天白雲真美麗。”讓豐富的想像力替每朵雲取個名字： 是小豬還是雪人？ 像叮噹的豆沙包還是ET的飛船？ 雲上又是否真有天空之城? “爸媽，可以帶我乘摩天輪上去瞧清楚嗎？” 英國 (2006) 想飛視綫跟着飛機上天際，直到它消失於雲端。 想替夢插上翅膀，隨雲飛往比天空更遥遠的地方，那裡有我的烏托邦。 日本福岡(2005) 心曲愛在田野看秋天的日落，漫天霞暉，與心弦和唱，譜奏一闕温柔的彩雲曲。 霞幕徐徐而下，美景雖留不住，但能在心裡記下一頁絢燦，一份震撼，已足够。 英國 (2006) 喚風這刻，我想起了你。讓雲載满我的思念，喚一陣風，把雲送到你那方… 你説，今天下雨了。你感受到嗎？那霏霏雨粉正是我送你的满满祝福。 澳門 (2005) 静思在飛機看窗外的大片雲海，心是如此的平靜，幾近透明，没有牽掛，没有煩憂。呼吸輕了，時間也彷彿慢了。 雲的另外一端便是家吧。微笑着，静待着到達的廣播。回家的感覺真好。 (2006)
