三十拉警报 Over Time

无意间从朋友的电脑中发现这部日剧。天啊!这可是2004年前的戏啊!他说他想回味,回味! 哈!蛮喜欢看日剧,只因它比无聊的台剧,沉闷的韩剧(虽然我从未看过)有意思多了!不 排撤港剧(珠光宝气追逐中:P),不过最喜欢的还是日剧。上个周末,我既然和老婆看起 Long Vocation ,这可是1996年的旧戏,木村,松隆子,竹野内峰在戏里是多么的年轻,这也提醒我自己也不再是ko ko 了!(可恶,上个拜六在百货市场被人叫uncle, 不爽ING.........)

故事简介

年届三十的夏树是一们在东京工作的发型美容师,在1998年的最后一天和冬美、春子相遇,他们分别是大企业的接待员和无业游民,三个快到三十岁的寂寞女性, 同去北海道旅游胜地,迎接新的一年,东京报社摄影记者宗一郎也在同一家旅馆,拍摄烟花的情景,面对照耀新年的焰火,他们平凡的人生面临事业、爱情、友情的 抉择而起了大变化。故事有笑有泪,温馨感人,道尽现代都会男女的喜怒哀乐,也是现代人的生活写照。

枫宗一郎(反町隆史),25 岁,任职某报北海道分社的摄影记者,在一次瓦斯爆炸事件采访中因为救人,导致工作上发生严重失误,而被调回东京本部负责美食专栏,他对意外新闻的采访,究竟应该先救人还是先拍照产生疑惑,从此立志要拍摄自己所看到的世界.

笠原夏树(江角真纪子),29 岁,一位工作和感情都不甚如意的美容师,已届适婚年龄仍无对象.

行事风格很男人婆的夏树在一次北海道温泉之旅时与宗一郎邂逅,但因缘巧合,两人对彼此都留下很不好的印象,之后夏树又在一次的相亲中,阴错阳差的和宗一郎见面,两个人命运式的二度重逢,于是开启了一段似友情又像爱情的故事…

这日剧可说我最喜欢的其中一部!喜欢这部剧的写实,配乐,女主角(木村加乃,不是江角真纪子,嘻嘻!)。对夏树来说宗一郎是超出爱情的存在,更像是自己的亲人,可以永无止境地依靠,也正因为这样,便无法选择作为自己的配偶。而且现实就是现实。当时看的时候还是中学,不知现在重看会不会有另一种体会。

沙巴汉的心声

前几天email收到这封forwarded email。
虽然我不是沙巴人,我也认同以下的观点。

随着916事件变天行动的逼近,让我有股冲动想要为我hometown - 沙巴说几句话。

我不会写作,我只是想用简单的词句表达出来,这些都是不争的事实。

很多西马人都会认为沙巴人很“大沙巴主义”;沙巴人亦对西马人很有偏见。我承认
我是,也相信很多沙巴汉都一样。

虽然沙巴沦为全马来西亚最贫穷的州属不是西马人民的错(那是联邦政府的
错),但是西马对人东马的不了解一样让我汗颜。

因为他们从来没有经历过东马人的生活是怎样水深火热法。

这就是同一个国家,却有两种不同的待遇。

我来到西马后就被西马人问我沙巴人是否住在树上,我妹妹还一度被怀疑是土族而
不是华人。

我们不是生番,不打猎,不吃老虎,也没有和orang utan睡在同一张床。

西马人都不了解我到底是住在沙巴或者沙捞越。通常他们都会习惯性地叫
“SabahSarawak', 我也懒得解释。

Anyway我是绝对不会问你是否是“kedahkelantan” 或者 “melakasembilan' 或者
'penangperlis'...

我很努力想要介绍沙巴给西马的朋友认识,沙巴有住宅区,有market,有disco,有
码头,有Giant。

可是又很矛盾的,因为虽然我是住在有瓦有墙的屋子里,但是这里没有水没有
电,也没有一条稍微好一点的路。

我来到西马后曾经被housemate责骂我“为什么你小便后都不冲水?你这样很不卫生
ehhhh”

我听了这句话愣了一下下,我只是撒了一泡尿,就要冲水??

后来我才恍然大悟,原来西马每天24小时,每小时60分钟,每分钟60秒都有水源不
停供应。

哼!真不好意思,我不小心把沙巴所养成的坏习惯给带来了,我家没有水!妈妈不
给冲水!

一个星期只来两天的水,分别在星期一和星期四,这就是我hometown Sandakan所
实行的policy!

尤其是我家在高山,只能分得两天的自来水供应。在较低的市区或许会有三天到四
天的水源供应。

我家的厕所应该是最臭的吧,马桶里的尿几乎要泡成甘蔗水了才舍得flush一下。
不然储蓄的水用完了,你就没有水冲凉。

你要冲凉还是flush你那泡尿?自己选。 那些有养成一天冲2次凉+天天洗头的朋友
们,真是抱歉了。我们只能在星期一和星期四才能洗头。

讲到电源供应,我hometown平均一个月有72小时是停电的,最高纪录试过连续一个
星期每天停电8个小时。

不停电就不是我hometown,这是每个沙巴汉都会说的。

吉隆坡停电半个小时就会上报纸,沙巴停电好几个小时导致交通灯失灵,交通瘫痪
却无人问津!

我记得我第一次带西马朋友来沙巴的第一天,家里就停电了,刚好是晚上,大伙儿
会到屋外去晒月亮,看星星。

如果我说,在我家,你一伸手就可以摸到月亮,月亮亮得可以把你照出影子,还可
以让你辨别各个星座,你一定要相信。

(因为我hometown的空气实在是太好了)

Anyway,关于停电停水的事,我在沙巴生活了二十多年,什么都习惯了,反而因为
长期的压逼而麻木了,变得不会反抗。

沙巴人就是那么单纯,逆来顺受。

所以政府老是欺负沙巴,拿走沙巴资源去发展吉隆坡,卖了沙巴的木桐去西马起高
楼,抽干沙巴的油田为西马做南北大道,

用沙巴的orang utan换了中国的熊猫却把熊猫放在西马。

这样有本事捐钱救助四川却没办法做条好一点的马路给沙巴,45年来都是一样。

沙巴的第一条fly over也是近年来才完成的,开心死沙巴汉。

国家抛弃沙巴,让沙巴自生自灭,每次都说要解决非法移民的问题,结果不了了
之。

沙巴的非法移民还比本地人要多,全部来自Filipine,去年提到Filipine要拿回沙
巴,

如果是通过投票决定,凭着寄居在沙巴庞大的Filipine人数,沙巴肯定完蛋,就这
样轻易拱手让人了。

沙巴没水没电不说,就连就业机会也少之又少,结果年轻人都外流,全部跑来西马
找吃。

你知道吗?一瓶yogurt在西马卖RM3.70,在沙巴却卖RM5.70,所有杂志书刊一律比
西马贵。

因为货品从西马运过来都要贵算运送费,赚到的钱又要被抽去发展吉隆坡,加上本
地人又要拼命找吃,所以物价越调越高。

可是这里还有人拿月薪RM200的人,还惨过在西马洗厕所。

每次回去沙巴,除了中学生以外都很少见到年轻人。沙巴什么都没有,年轻人留在
沙巴也帮不了沙巴。

去年有几位同乡朋友坚持毕业后要留在沙巴,当时我还说他们笨,有KL这么好的地
方,为什么要留在沙巴。

朋友说“没有人愿意留在沙巴,沙巴永远站不起来”,他点醒了我,但很无奈的,沙
巴真的没有工作给我,我不得不留在西马工作。

上个月,我的堂弟辞职回沙巴了,我好奇地问,沙巴人工那么低,你这样回去就很
不划算了。

堂弟说:“西马始终不是家,我怎样都会回来这里,沙巴一定会有公司需要我”

我听了很惭愧,因为我本是打算在此落地生根的。但现在我真的醒悟了,就算我人
在西马,一样要为沙巴打气。

沙巴这么美丽的一片净土,好好发展的话肯定是全马数一数二的!可是却这样被糟
蹋!

这就是为什么除了沙巴汉以外的人,凡是进入沙巴的都必须做登记,Kastam会给你
一张纸条,示意你在30天以内一定要离开沙巴。

沙巴不保护自己,情形会变得更惨不忍睹。

从以前到现在,沙巴对西马人来说,是那么的神秘而遥远。

没有人肯到沙巴来,仿佛这里都是野蛮人生存的不文明世界,NS被派来沙巴的都哭
得要生要死,好像要把他们打入地域的样子。

沙巴是天堂还是地狱,你来看过才知道,至今只有西方的旅人才愿意来这曾经比吉
隆坡还要繁荣的土地,探索它的回忆。

西马有三大民族,但沙巴有32个民族,西马的朋友应该都不懂。

东马是全马来西亚民族最和谐的地方,西马朋友应该也不懂。

在沙巴,回教徒甚至可以到卖叉烧的店来做棒餐,棒餐就棒餐,绝不会叫你摸叉
烧。

回教徒也可以到华人海鲜店吃海鲜,卖海鲜就卖海鲜,绝不会突然跑出一块猪腩
肉。

大家互相信任,也不需要避忌。但在西马应该没办法看见这种画面吧。

近年来Giant跑来沙巴了,巫统想要把西马的超市打入沙巴,再趁机控制沙巴的经
济,很可惜受到沙巴汉的排斥。

沙巴有自己的报纸,有自己的超市,不需要假好心进来沙巴盗取沙巴的油脂再换取
西马的利益!

国家抛弃沙巴,连9月16号沙砂加入马来亚成为马里西亚这么重大的日子都没有庆
祝过!

....吃饱没事做的时候就炫耀说雄威的神山是马来西亚的骄傲...

神山是沙巴汉的骄傲,世界上最大的花朵莱佛西亚花也是沙巴汉的骄傲,濒临绝种
的人猿亦是沙巴汉的骄傲,

唯独是没有为马来西亚感到骄傲。

我身为沙巴汉,衷心祈求916过可以让沙巴的同胞们过回一些好日子。

希望往后的916能够列为全国性的公共假期!联邦政府,请公平对待沙巴!

加油吧沙巴!我要见证你的发展!

dear dear: how a small statistic started a big airline

Tony Fernandes took over the airline 5 years ago when it was one step from bankruptcy.

Today, it is a booming success. It will fly 18 million passengers this year and is the region's largest discount carrier.

IN THE BEGINNING

Tony Fernandes graduated from the London School of Economics. His first job, from 1987 to 1989, was an accountant for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Records.

Being an amateur guitarist, he felt right at home in the music business.

But he got homesick and in 1992, at age 28, he moved back to Kuala Lumpur to take a job as the youngest vice-president of Southeast Asia's Warner Music Group.

He worked there until he had his fill of corporate life. In 2001, he quit his executive job and started Air Asia with his music buddies.

In his speech, Tony recalled that it all started with a statistic he spotted in the New Straits Times. It said only

6 per cent of Malaysians had ever traveled on an airplane. That number got Tony thinking.

He recalled: 'I know my countrymen well. First, if you put the price low enough, they'd risk their lives. Second, everyone would like to travel. But it cost most people more than one month's salary to travel between Malaysian cities.'

As he saw it, it all added up to a sure-win discount airline venture.

Tony said, 'I think when you start a business, the most important thing is does the market want it? I knew the market wanted it. If that is there, everything else is surmountable because people power is strong.'

He and his music friends discussed Tony's 6 per cent statistic over dinner and decided to go for it. They would enter the airline business.

After congratulating one another on their wisdom and courage, someone asked, 'Ahh, does anyone know if we need a license to start an airline?'

Of course you do.

This dampened spirits until they hit on the obvious solution: Tony should go see Prime Minister Mahathir to ask the government to grant them a license.

With no contacts, he naively called the PM's office, explained his request and asked for an appointment. Surprisingly, he got it.

Tony recalled the appointment was for 10 AM. He was so excited that he arrived at 7 AM. His presentation lasted from 10:00 to 10:30. The PM listened politely but remained silent.

When Tony had finished, there was a long silence.

Then PM Mahathir said, 'I can see that your group has zero experience in the airline industry.

'Well, maybe that is what's needed. A fresh approach. The so-called experts haven't done a particularly good job.'

The PM explained that no new licenses would be issued.

But Tony's group of musicians could buy one of two struggling airlines. Tony recalled, 'One airline was beyond hope while the other was about dead. We chose the one that was about dead. It had two Boeing jets and $11 million in debt'.

His group purchased the company for a token price of 50 cents.

Three years later, Air Asia went public.

Now, after 6 years, the company flies 65 planes to over 100 destinations.

Tony Fernandes' stake in Air Asia is worth more than $300 million, ranking him number 15 among the richest businessmen in Malaysia.

From February 1 next year, four discount airline flights will be permitted daily between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. It will break the 25-year duopoly of Malaysian Airlines (MAS) and Singapore Airlines (SQ), which now make 30 flights each day.

Competing for the two Singapore slots are local airlines, Jetstar and Tiger Airways. On the Malaysian side, the contenders are Air Asia and Firefly. Firefly is the new low-cost start-up of Malaysian Airlines.

CHEAP FARES ARE COMING

One year from now, on December 1, 2008, all restrictions will be lifted on the number of discounted flights that can be offered. It is part of the open-skies initiative to free up air links between capital cities of the 10-member block of Asean countries.

The savings will be BIG. Fares for the 45-minute flight between Singapore and KL now costs about $400 round trip, making it one of the most lucrative routes in the world.

After Feb 1, look for Singapore-KL air fares to fall to around $100 round trip, including taxes and surcharges.

The only thing cheaper will be to go by coach. It costs about $55.

Who says you can't beat inflation?
