Operation: One China

Let’s face it the Tibet fiasco is not about human rights, or freedom, or religion, it’s just an excuse for the western media and its government express their long held hatred, fear and jealousy against the oldest continuous civilisation in the world. The whites don’t care about Tibet, the whites has never cared about anyone other then themselves! The only people who has been there for Tibet and cared for the Tibetans for the past 60 years are the Chinese government and the 56 ethnic groups of people that make up China!

 

Less than 6 decades ago, China emerged from a century of colonialist oppression and humiliation at the hands of the very same colonialists that are currently behind the anti-China campaign of disinformation. Unfortunately for the white governments and their propagandists, the mass media distortion of the truth that was intended to divide the people within China has in fact galvanised the greatest empire of the world and driven her citizens worldwide to unite in an unprecedented action of patriotism not shown since the end of the Sino-Japanese war in 1945. The plan to weaken China has completely backfired on the anti-China campaigners.

 

 

Nevertheless, uncanny was the timing by the whites for its sudden out pouring of emotion and this new find compassion and conscience for Tibet. The truth is the initial simultaneous uprising in Lhasa, India and Nepal on March 14 was a pre-planned and well orchestrated riot by the white western governments and with the support from the Dalai Lama directing the actions of internal terrorists. As the so-called Tibet government in exile, the Dalai Lama has managed to grasp media attention worldwide to his “crusade” to free Tibet.

 

However Tibet has been a part of China since ancient times. Historical records have shown that Tibet had been under the central government of China for more than 700 years. Up until the time of the Second World War, Tibet was always considered as a part of China as they were trying to curb the encroachments of the British Empire on their territory. In the British-Indo invasion in 1903, the British killed a few thousand unprepared Tibetan soldiers and civilians. The biggest massacre took place on March 31, 1904 at a mountain pass halfway to Gyantse near a village called Guru. Colonel Younghusband tricked the 2,000 Tibetan soldiers guarding the pass into extinguishing the burning ropes of their basic rifles before firing at them with the Maxim machine guns and rifles (how many pro-Tibet ignoramuses knew that?).

 

After WWII, US decided to use Tibet’s religious enclave in its fight against Communism. What most do not know is the Dalai Lama's sinister historical links to the CIA. Tibet’s current “independence” fanatics and rabble rousers maintain close ties with the CIA’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It goes beyond any concept of non-violent protest as these individuals have engaged in acts of vandalism and looting, behaving like hooligans and criminals with rampant property destruction, hardly the actions of non-violent protest.

 

The American Society for a Free Asia, a CIA front, gave unlimited publicity to the cause of Tibetan criminals. The CIA has provided the Tibetan exile movement with $1.7 million a year for its operations against China which includes an annual subsidy of $180,000 for the Dalai Lama.

 

In the book, “Buddha's Warriors” by Mikel Dunham, is the story of CIA-backed Tibetan Freedom Fighters. It explains how the CIA took hundreds of Tibetans to the US for combat training and provided them with modern arms. Many American made documentary have also show the real motives of the CIA in Tibet, one of which can be seen on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwu5qYosTo0&feature=related

 

Here is something else the whites don’t know about Tibet and Dalai. Till 1959, and in 1956, Dalai Lama was the vice-president of the Chinese National Assembly. And this seems not bother him at all. However he began to change his mind when the CCP, in 1956 decided to abolish the serfdom. How many whites knew that untill 1959 Tibet was still under serfdom and slavery? It had a population of one million but only 2% of the population can go to school. In this system only the nobles and the monks got right to own land. The common people were often tortured, murdered and had nothing at all! Whites say that Tibet is a country, hey wait, there are no countries in the world that ever recognizes Tibet as a country. They are not even eligible to be in the Commission on Decolonization of the U.N. So stop the bullshit about free Tibet!

 

 

 

Since 314 all you hear are the whites talk about the repressions of the protesters in Tibet, but the whites didn’t even say a word about the Hans killed by Tibetans during the riot! The Tibet riot was about anti-Chinese slaughter against the Chinese merchants. That is the fact! It started with the attacks to the Chinese merchants by the Tibetans. So pay attention to whose doing the killing!

 

Since the riot the international community has being barraged with a deliberate and sustained campaign of disinformation about what is going on with Tibet. Once again Washington is providing financial, political, diplomatic and propaganda support to a blatantly racist demonization effort, ostensibly due to “concerns” for “human rights." We’ve already seen the ridiculous and absurd lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, now we have the poor downtrodden, innocent and abused “freedom fighters" in Tibet.


Curious timing, as preparations are being made for the upcoming Olympics in Beijing. The corporate elitist media and some in-the-pocket politicians now suggest that boycotts be organized against the Beijing Olympics or the opening ceremonies at the very least.


The events that unfolded at the lighting of the Olympic flame March 24 in Greece were most revealing. Three protesters were arrested, but then summarily released. None were Tibetan. They were all French. It turns out all are from a notorious right-wing organization funded by the governments of France and the United States. They were all employees of Reporters Without Borders.

 

 

 

Meanwhile in China a media charade occurred when some of those “peaceful” monks in Tibet managed to get themselves arrested for the benefit of a visiting media team. China allowed a group of about two dozen reporters into Lhasa for a three-day escorted visit. The monks in a carefully choreographed action pushed in front of journalists on cue and recited a list of carefully prepared “grievances” and thereby sidetracked and disrupted the event. Naturally the group of monks ended up by being surrounded by security guards and other officials who tried to quiet the disturbance. Lights, camera, action!



Meanwhile the Dali Lama rolled into Seattle at his home base USA to attend a 5 day conference entitled “Seeds of Compassion.” Dalai told the media that China, “Cannot suppress protests against human rights in Tibet.” Rich words coming from a paid CIA shill.



There can be little doubt that the main beneficiaries to the death and destruction sweeping Tibet are in Washington. How disgusting it is to see so many well meaning people deceived into serving the interests of Washington in sabotaging the Beijing Olympics. The spirit and nature of the event are being spoiled all to the delight, enrichment and interests of the whites.

 

We the Chinese people, the descendants of the dragon, the children of Yan Huang have a long memory and a keen sense of honor and this shall not be forgotten or forgiven anytime soon.

"What do you want from Us?"世界论坛网

- A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet.
By a Slient, Silent Chinese. 世界论坛网

===
When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Peril.
When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The threat.

When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to Open Markets.
When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking away your jobs.

When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your "fair share".
When We were putting the broken peices together again, "Free Tibet" you screamed, "it was an invasion!"

( When Woodrow Wilson Couldn't give back Birth Place of Confucius back to Us,
But He did bought a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball for us.)

So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists
When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalist.

When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet.
When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse.

When We were Poor, You think we are dogs.
When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.

When We build our industries, You called us Polluters.
When we sell your goods, You blame us for global warming.

When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide.
When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.

When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us.
When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights.

When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech.
When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophoics.

What do you really want from us?
Think Hard then Answer...

Because you are running thin on your chances,
Enough is Enough, Stop your Hypocrisy and Propaganda.

One World, One Dream, One China.

Tuesday 10/6/07


 
















Baked Basa with Horseradish Cream and Baby Potatoes
Easiest weekday dinner yet! 5 mins to prepare and 12 min to cook.


Thursday 19/6/07

Avenue Joffre Table for One

我的杰作

 

   Week 4

 Monday 2/7/07

 


















Lamb Shank with Couscous and Saffron Yoghurt
Slow-cook the lamb to produce a hearty winter dish thats goes well with a shiraz or a cabernet.

 

  Wednesday 4/7/07


 
















Pan-fried Ocean Trout with Creamed Lentils
This dish can be made even more simple by having a tin of cooked lentils in the cupboard, which is nothing to be askamed of; sometimes speed is of the essence for a weekday dinners.

 

Thursday 5/7/07


 














 
 
Prawn and Saffron Risotto
This is really special dish. It may seem involved, but it just requires the stock to be made in advance, and that could be anything from just before you need it to two days ahead of time.

 

Saturday 7/7/07


 
















Sticky Date Pudding
Made this with 小宝宝豆 for a lazy Saturday afternoon tea. With a touch of Avenue Joffre we were able to turn an old English classic to a modern day Australian masterpiece! lol

 
















Seared Salmon with Cucumber and Mint Salsa
I used both red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar to made the salsa, they work very well together and add complexity to the taste.


 

Sunday 8/7/07



















Roasted Wild Barramundi with Shellfish Fricassee and Saffron Vegetable Broth
It's important not over cook the yabbies for too long, otherwise the flesh goes dry and rubbery. It should be just very lightly poached for about 45 seconds.

Avenue Joffre Table For One III

我的风采

 

Week 3

Monday 25/6/07

 

 
















Barbecued Lamb with Greek Salad and Yoghurt  
Used what was left over from last night's lamb and made a meal out of it...

 

Tuesday 26/6/07



















 
















Roasted Beetroot Salad with Blue Cheese
Slow-roasted beetroot is incredibly sweet and worth the effect. Try placing some thin slices of raw beetroot that have been marinated in red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil on the bottom of the salad - the contrast between the two textures is wonderful.
 
Braised Pork with Chillies
Pork bellies are fantastic! The good thing about it is if you give it a really good fry first, that will render out a lot of the fat, so i guess in a way its a little healthy... who am i kidding? it just tastes good!

 

Wednesday 27/6/07


 
















Roasted Barramundi with Garam Masala Marinade, Beetroot Relish and Pommes Mousseline
You can use any fish for this dish. You can add a crushed garlic clove to some yoghurt to really add flavour, and a couple of chillies to the marinade will certainly kick it on.
 

Saturday 30/6/07



















T-bone Steak, Italian-Style
There is no use mucking around with this one. Get the big daddy T-bone with a large priece fillet. Get them cut thick and really enjoy what a good steak can taste like.

 

Sunday 1/7/07


 
















Salad of Roasted Scallop, Pork Belly and Pig's Ear
The combination of the fat, salty and mosit pork with the crispy pig's ear and the delicated harmoniously sweet scallops will sent you and your fellow diners into raptures. The textures and flavours in this dish will harmonise well with a light red wine.

Week 2

Monday 18/6/07

 

 
















Chicken Braised in Coconut Milk with Whole Spices  
This the simplest fresh curry imaginable. you can use the same sauce and simmer any seafood and it will be equally good. and serve the curry with some steamed jasmine rice, u'll love it!!

 

Tuesday 19/6/07



















Crab and Soba Noodle Salad with Sesame Soy dressing  
This is a classic seafood salad that makes an elegant entree or a wonderful light lunch. you could exchange the crab for prawns, scallops or lobster. i like the combination of all four with a little chicken together with these flavour. 
Chicken Braised in Coconut Milk with Whole Spices  
Last night's left over curry. do u know curry get better with age??
粽子  
端午节好!!!
 

 

Wednesday 20/6/07



















Chicken Vermicelli and Herb Salad with Palm Sugar Dressing
This is a classic Thai dressing thats easy to prepare and goes well with everything. when its mixed with fresh herbs it adds a very sophisticated taste to what is essentially a very simple salad.
小笼饱
上海 classic
粽子
端午节 the day after

Friday 22/6/07



















馄饨和小笼
Anymore shanghai would be 小馄饨和小笼。

 

Saturday 23/6/07



















 
















Roasted Barramundi with Cauliflower, Cherry Tomatoes Fennel Seeds and Breadcrumbs
Barranmundi is probably the easiest fish to cook, and if u like barra and cauliflower, than u'd love this dish! but it can also be adapted to use other seafoods and roasted meats.

 

Sunday 24/6/07



















Marinated Lamb Leg with Spicy Chargrilled Vegetables and Garlic Yoghurt
Get your butcher to butterfly the leg for you, and avoid the stress of doing it yourself!! haha. other than that, this dish looks good and taste even better!

我的自在

 

Week 1

Monday 11/6/07


















Spaghetti with Clams, Green Beans, Tomato and Chilli
My yummy variation of the classic Italian Spaghetti Vongole. I serve with a very small amount of parmesan - not the norm with Italians and seafood - but i love it.. hehe. some time I use mussles instead of clams its just as satisfying.

 

Tuesday 12/6/07


 
















Spaghetti Bolognaise
Another Itailan classic! But i like to use both beef and pork; it adds to the flavour and texture. A little bacon also adds great complexity and if you caramelize the vegetables really well, you'll add even more flavour!


 

Wednesday 13/6/07


















 

Warm Salad of Veal Sweetbread with King Prawns
A red wine special! The creamyiness of the sweetbread and the texture of the king prawns makes a glorious combination!

Spaghetti Bolognaise
Classics never dies!

 

Thursday 14/6/07


 
















Barbecued Moroccan Chicken with Tabuleh
A quick and easy weekday dinner for one. The Moroccan marinate can also be use on meat or fish, but i like it best on chicken. The refreshingness of the tabouleb mades a great side dish, you may also serve the chicken with a little seasoned yoghurt on top.


 

Saturday 16/6/07


 
















Breakfast Classic
Nothing better to get the friday night hangover outta ya than a massive breakfast! lol. i love it!

 

Sunday 17/6/07



















Fusilli with Squid and Tomato
There are two ways to cook squid; briefly so its tender and full of the flavour of the sea, or long braised, where it becomes meltingly tender and the flovour deepens. i love both ways. Again i like this seafood dish with parmesan cheese - very un-Italian, but tastes great. so you do as you please.

对上海不敬的人请摸摸自己良心!!

对上海不敬的人请摸摸自己良心

曾经辉煌,鼎盛一时的上海: 四九年前的上海是什么样,有据可查,有史可证。是仅次于东京的亚洲大都市。如果你需要更感性的说法,我可以告诉你,当时,好莱坞的大片,在美上市后三天之 内就会出现在上海的各大影院,此其一。其二,改革开放到今天,你能学到和看到的几乎所有现代营销和广告手法在四九年前的上海都可以找到。尤为让我感佩的 是,翻看当时民族企业的广告创意,你会发现,其实我们中国人对市场经济一点也不陌生,而且早在六十年前,就已经在激烈竞争中取得了很大的成功。

四九年后老蒋卷走中国百分之八十的硬通货。一穷二白的国家唯有上海可倚靠。只是,这种倚靠到了令人难以置信的程度。史料记载,当时上海每年上交国家百分之九十的 GDP,注意,是GDP而不是所得。这是什么概念?想象一下,有人拿走你家里百分之九十的财产,给你些米,给你些油,让你吃饱以后用剩下的百分之十的资源 辛苦劳作一年,然后又拿走百分之九十,就是这个概念。八零年代初,小日本在上海街头看到已经很穷,但依然保持当年白领礼仪和潇洒风度的老克勒,不由得感 叹:毕竟是上海人啊。但我们的华侨就没有这么泰然。回到破败如此的淮海路,回想当年的荣华,不由得放声大哭。四九年后,上海人在香港再创了一个远东大都 市,但面对自己生养之地的沉沦,却只能洒一把辛酸泪而已。我虽没有经历过那疯狂掠夺的年代,但也有自己亲身的感受。中学时学工,去一家纺织厂参观,工厂负 责人骄傲地展示工厂辉煌而久远的历史。细看庞大机器上的铭牌,上刻:1936年。它有幸没有被拿走,它依然在工作!是的,是上海人用36年产的机器养活了 中国。这毫不夸张,这是活生生的事实,怎么,你没勇气正视事实吗?
  

这样的付出没有换来一声感谢。我也不认为上海应该在乎感谢.只是,当你指责上海人谨小慎微,精打细算,小家子气的时候,请宽 容一点吧。是上海这座本该继续鼎盛的城市养育这你和他,以及你的家人,多的不说,至少在三代以内,你的祖辈必定受过上海的恩惠,而现今的上海人,在承受着 蜂拥而入的全国人民的蹂躏的时刻,他们只是在试图保护自己仅剩下的百分之十而已。同时,请更不要象无知疯狗那样说出诸如十四亿中国人养活一个上海之类 的蠢话。因为,作为一个人,你可以没有感恩之心,但不能没有良心!请你调动所有的良知(如果你有的话)铭记我的话:上海人不欠这个国家任何东西。在我们这 个共和国,能理直气壮地说出这句话的人,不多!

Birthday Resignation

Dear Ruth:

It is with great reluctance I submit my resignation, effective 9th of February 2007. It has been my genuine pleasure to have worked for Apple during the past few months. I have enjoyed working with Apple’s fine staff of professionals and colleagues.

However, I have decided to change my current career goals. And through sheer serendipity, an opportunity to be a Futures Trader in a proprietary futures trading firm presented itself to me few weeks ago, and after many hours of pondering I have decided that this is a singular opportunity that I cannot forgo. However I must say this decision to accept this new challenge, as exhilarating as it is, does not come without sadness, as it has been a great honour to have worked for Apple Computers. Nevertheless, I am convinced that this is the right decision for me at this stage of my life.

Once again I thank you for allowing me to serve Apple Computers and I will miss my associations here. I wish you and Apple continued success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

_______

影视圈五官最完美的女星



刘亦菲--杨过张着大大的嘴巴,口水落了一地,惊讶于面前的仙女为何如此惊艳。“神仙姐姐”刘亦菲当着起这样的称呼。水嫩的肌肤,漂亮有神的大眼睛,挺俏的小鼻子,纯纯的美丽。如果说五官最标致,那么我想,她应当是最完美的人选。






 

蒋勤勤--琼瑶阿姨的眼光绝对是刁钻而又准确的,走进视线的蒋勤勤,忧郁的眼神,小巧的嘴巴,完全的中国典型小女人。






 
章子怡--章子怡的美,是一种并不张扬的美,她能在国际的舞台上走到今天,自然有属于她特有的魅力,极具东方小女人特色的五官迷倒众生,完美的比例造就了中国一姐不可动摇的地位。






 

林心如--这里有点私心的把林心如排在了前面,因为无法抗拒她可爱的酒窝的吸引,无法拒绝她的一颦一笑。完美比例下的五官加上可爱的小酒窝,就是她最大的魅力所在吧。






 
张柏芝--《星语心愿》可能让多数人记住了张柏芝这个名字,几乎所有男人公认的美女,即便多少女性反对仍然排在了我们排行榜的前列,最标致的五官,张柏芝受之无愧。






 

林志玲--一个三十岁的女人还会这么红?林志玲就是这个神话的塑造者。她的五官漂亮的挑不出一丝瑕疵,外加很好的保养以及完美的身材,持续走红,一点都不难。






 
徐静蕾--大多数人认为徐静蕾的美是一种知性的美,但是细细端详她的五官,就不难发现,其实她也真是个美人胚子。






 

高圆圆--再看《倚天屠龙记》时,惊叹里面女星的美丽,也记住了高圆圆这个名字。怎样看都觉得舒服的五官,列入我们的排行榜,真是名副其实呢。






 

陈好——一句话,万人迷,你迷了没有?

西游记 - 在二十年以后

孙悟空一定是大家小时候心目中的正义英雄。 二十年过去了,当年的小伙子,如今虽已不惑, 但是依然“火眼金睛”

三个唐僧排排坐,空前的景象呀,你觉得谁更好呢?

闫怀礼的表演可以说中规中矩,可以当选西游劳模。沙爷爷原来这么慈眉善目呀,岁月如飞刀, 刀刀催人老

八戒也算是如今的影视热门人物,春光灿烂都拍到三了~~但要说贴近原著自然还算这版。马德华是很敬业的,为了那身行头,当年他拍摄此剧时断了三根肋骨。所以后来看到他在影视方面再无建树,只能带着那套行头疲于在那些小小的地方走穴,心中总是一酸。那个好吃懒做快乐逍遥的八戒,也许只能活在神话里。

在最新的《小鱼儿与花无缺》里演一号反角江别鹤的他,最近因为被张谢殴打事件上镜率很高。却很少有人知道,近20年前这个英俊潇洒虏获不少少女观众芳心的小白龙也是由他饰演。呜呼, 此一时彼一时也师徒4人?不对!是五个!小时候我最想看到的白龙马,竟然是前不久被打事件的主角——王伯昭!!!

左女士的观音固然不是所有观音里最美丽的,但绝对是最有气质的。宝相庄严,风华立

如来

这位走街上都没人认识吧,牛魔王伯伯,完全靠眼睛表演

红孩儿

小伙子是当初的小唐僧

猪八戒媳妇

女儿国王——朱琳饰 当之无愧的西游第一美女,至今也还活跃在荧屏。她与唐僧之间若有若无的情愫最令人称道

王风霞,铁扇公主扮演者。英年早逝

车迟国国王,入木三分的表演!!右图左为已故表演艺术家赵丽蓉

SHEARER!!!!!!!!!!!

A LEGEND RETIRES


If you think there has ever been a better centre forward in the game, not only in history but also in the future of the game, THINK AGAIN! You may respond with great players of the past like Lineker, Wright, Greaves, Cantona, Batistuta, or maybe in the present with the likes of Van Nistelrooy, Henry, Ronaldo, etc etc etc etc etc. Who scores approximately 30 goals per season playing with clubs that don't exactly have the greatest players in the world? Who else goes on for 17 years scoring ridiculous amount of goals in arguably the best league in the world?


Who can smash a football into the top corner of the net at impeccable speed on a regular basis? Who else has ever had a complete skill set what is needed to be the perfect striker which includes pace (which has admittedly gone now he's 38 and suffered horrific injuries through his career), unbelievable strength, flawless heading, unique passion, lovely control, 2 feet, incredible leadership and vision, fantastic heading, and a right foot that has injected a disturbing amount of fear and respect throughout the world? Who else has played at the top level and been impossible to stop almost every game he plays at not only the highest level of club football, but also at international level as well?


Who can hold up the ball with such amazing strength and keep defenders off the ball as if it was a 5 year old trying to out strength a magnificent athlete in his prime? Let me tell you the answer, it's pretty easy to think about if you think about it and be honest with yourself no matter who you support and how much you dislike him! The answer, well.......he's a man who wears the number 9 shirt for Newcastle united, he's the man that has scored more goals than anybody else by a ridiculous amount, he's the man who is the only star world class striker who has maintained loyalty and integrity to what he believes is right, he's the man that has maintained the most prolific goal scoring record despite not having the luxury of world class players supplying him, he's shear class, shear quality, shear brilliance, shearer!


Non Newcastle fans slate him and slate him almost every game and you know why? Well the only way you will not know this means you don’t know nothing about football. Batistuta, VanNistelrooy, Raul, Owen, Vieiri, Henry.........the list goes on and on many of these magnificent strikers are actually better footballers than Alan Shearer. However, as a centre forward that is perfect and faultless, this man has all the assets required that have never been and never will be bettered by anybody. He's ability to finish a ball and shooting accuracy is impeccable and when he goes one on one with a goalkeeper, bookies wouldn't take any bets that he wouldn't take his chances. Sorry if you don't like this, you can only admire this incredible striker or sulk and be hostile. If you are hostile or upset by this post, it's most probably because he has smashed the ball so hard in the net of your team, you are simply sick of seeing it.


Maybe you won't like the fact that he has out strengthen, out scored, and indeed outclassed any striker that has ever graced the English premiership pound for pound. Cantona, Wright, Owen, Henry, VanNistelrooy and any other world class striker has generally played for the top clubs and they have had the pleasure of receiving service from the likes of Beckham, Vieira, Pires, Giggs, Lampard, Gerrard.........the list goes on and on. Shearer has relied on much less quality and STILL made everyones goalscoring record look pathetic. If you do not know enough to know my facts are true, enjoy the strikers that play for your club as I do.


However, if you think they are going to score over 30 goals every season for 14 years then think again! By the way, this is coming from a West Ham and indeed we have suffered his special, incredible, amazing, unique ability that breaks all our hearts when we see the net rattle and the goalkeeper of our club made to look like a person with phisical disability. Just thought would post this as it's almost the end of his career, everyone should acknowledge what this guy has done. Not only has he been the premierships best player pound for pound since it started, he had captained our country superbly. We will be very lucky to get a centre forward half as good as Alan Shearer, the man is simply a legend.

女人的真心

 有一个女人打高尔夫球,不小心把球打到附近的树林里,她便进树林里去找,看到一个青蛙掉到一个陷阱里,蹦不出来。

    青蛙对女人说:“你好,我其实是个神灵,如果你把我救出来,我可以满足你三个愿望。”

    女人把青蛙从陷阱里救了出来。

    青蛙说:“对不起,刚才太匆忙,忘了告诉你,你可一任意许三个愿望,但实现你每个愿望的同时,必须有附加条件,就是同时你的丈夫可以得到你的愿望高十倍。”

    女人很乐意的答应了。

    青蛙说:“你想清楚以后,你救可以许愿了”

    女人:“我的第一个愿望是,我变为一个非常美丽的女人。”

    青蛙:“出于我对你的感激,我再次提醒你,这样的结果是你的丈夫也将变成非常帅的男人,并且会比你的魅力还大十倍,会有不计其数的女孩子喜欢他。你必须考虑清楚.”

    女人:“我已经非常美丽,我的丈夫不会变心的。”

    于是,女人变的非常美丽。

    青蛙:"请你说你第二个愿望。"

    女人:“请让我有在银行有一亿美元的存款。”

    青蛙:“我再次提醒你,你的丈夫同时可以得到10亿美元的存款,他有钱后可能变坏,可能……”

    女人:“他的就是我的无所谓。”

    青蛙:“好吧,你的第二个愿望也实现了,请说第三个。”

    女人:“…请让我得一下轻微的心脏病。”

做朋友还是做爱?

1 做朋友还是做爱?

    不止一次地听朋友们说,“哦,我和她太熟了,都成哥们了,不好下手!”或者“做了爱也许就做不成好朋友了”。
  
  果真如此吗?简单地分析一下:真正的朋友是大度地包容,是彼此的关心和体谅,是真诚而热烈的观点的交流。如果你们因为做了爱而做不成朋友,那么可以说,做朋友的时候,你们也不是什么真正的纯洁的朋友;如果因为性,你失去了他这个朋友。那么告诉你,没什么可以后悔的,随他去!那说明他来和你交朋友的时候,脑子里就从来没有不想象着你的下半身。
  
  所以,是对性的误解,而不是性,构成了做朋友的障碍,性,是一种亲密的表达,是成熟的互相欣赏的异性人士之间自然的渴望。如果我有一个聊得很好的异性朋友,并且他对我有那种性吸引力的话,我肯定会自然地希望得到他的拥抱和亲吻,并且最好是得到和他的水乳交融,而不会为了做什么所谓的“长久的朋友”故作矜持。
  
  别自欺欺人了,当你想这个“做爱还是做朋友?”的问题的时候,你已经失去了做你所定义的那种狭义朋友的资格。

  2 什么时候和他做爱?
  
  有些女孩子总是顾虑重重,总是在担心,也许一上床,他就不喜欢我了?为什么总会这样想?我分析,一,长久的男权社会,造就了女人潜在的不独立的心态,从而把是否“伺候“好了这个男人当作自己的责任,而不去想想,他在选择挑剔你的同时,你也同样在选择,挑剔着他。二,女人把男人对自己的肯定当作自信的唯一源泉从而时眼界和心胸变得越加狭窄,从而造成恶性循环,让男人更加瞧不上自己。三,对性看的过重,认为性的付出,就是底线的给予,全部身心的付出。从而在付出之后,自己的心理优势被打破,在心态上形成要男人为自己负责的想法,从而招致男人的恐慌。
  
  成熟些,一,不希冀自己做人人宠爱的公主,允许对方对自己的厌倦,从而给对方一个自由的空间,从而让自己的心灵也被放飞。二,在自己最想要他的时候,和他共赴云雨,从而达到性满足的最大化,否则错过了你最有欲望的时候的激情也是一种浪费哦。三,如果感觉很好,就把这个感觉告诉他,也许,他有和你同样的顾虑呢。
  
  3 性技巧和性激情
  
  从被动的接收到主动的控制,对性技巧的探索和性能力的提高似乎成为想取悦男人的女人的一项重要训练。不管对方喜不喜欢自己,自己喜不喜欢对方,拉上床,展示一番自己的性能力得到肯定再说,不怕你不服,就怕你不做!当各式各样的口交培训,阴道感觉训练都到位之后,一些悟性较高的女人又开始有了新的追求,就是培养招之及来,挥之即去的性激情,揣度拿捏各种各样的临床表现,呵呵,让那些还沉湎于对如何让男人的棒棒感到最大极限的快乐的探索中的女人接着去研究各种各样的角度和力度吧,她们却已经跨入了新的阶段,让和她做爱的每个男人都感觉到她最爱的是他!
  
  然而,我却推崇一种自然随心的性,那是男女双方应该共同走入的一种新的境界,不是性技巧的简单罗列,不是性激情的无偿表演。而是一种回归原始的,静心聆听自己心的呼唤的契合。也许,那样的做爱恰恰具有最简单的形式,却让你在每一次云雨交欢之后,有着品味不尽的思绪。
  
  性,自然的才是最美的,不要让各种各样的杂念使性边缘化和人为化。
  
  4 关于拒绝
  
  有些女孩子不大善于拒绝,也有的时候自己不清楚到底是喜不喜欢对方,自己问自己的时候,回答:倒是不讨厌。
  
  对这种情况,还是礼貌坦率明白地拒绝吧。不要担心对方的承受能力,这样做永远比由于对方对你的紧追不舍的感动而上床,然后后悔,抛弃对对方的伤害小得多。就算你对他有一点点好感,也还是明确地表白你自己的想法吧,这样告诉他:我现在对你有一定好感,但这好感完全不是那个意义上的感觉。不要拖泥带水,让对方胡猜。这样做对对方是一种尊重,对自己更是一种尊重,如果对方成熟的话,他是会感激你的。

Talking about 上海女人

 

Quote

上海女人

上海女人肤浅,爱慕虚荣……?这大都是摸不透上海女人心,也搞不定上海女人的极度自卑或极度大男人的看法。根据上海市政府统计局的资料显视,介于二十至三十五岁年龄组的男女人口分布,男的比女的多出十万人。似乎,无论在主观角度或客观环境的情况下,上海女人都是以大热姿态胜出。说上海女人精明,不如说上海人overall都比较精明。这多少也是环境造成的。 从二、三十年代的十里洋场,到八、九十年代改革开放的日新月异,上海一直率先接触外界新事物,加上近年外来人潮涌入,也着实开拓了上海女人的眼界。其实,在上海说上海女人长短有欠小家,会被外人笑称,“井底蛙,无见识”。上海女人的“功夫”是要细细compare之后,才体会出来的。在各路华人汇拢来的海外,喝过洋墨水的上海女人,尤其出众。

生养篇   上海女人,生得细皮嫩肉,白净水灵。缘自上海微湿的气候,好过最昂贵的□肤保养品。北方姑娘,大大咧咧,有种野性美;南方亚热带女子晒得黑里透红,好比那里的天气,巴辣着呢。上海女人是精致的。有着北方人的爽快,却不豪迈(那是男人的玩意ㄦ)。有江南女子的娇柔妩媚。生得得天独厚,打扮起来更有看头。身上穿的或许不是高级名牌,但重质感,兼搭配得体,看得爽心耀目。上海女人追求时尚,往往不是盲目地穿戴某个牌子。她研究品牌的历史,格调,走向,主流设计师的来头,代表作等等的来胧去脉:Fendi的皮草是极品; Tiffany的白金钻戒是经典;Ferregamo以鞋子起家;Chanel No.5历久不衰;Miu Miu一样出自Prada之手,但价钱减半……上海女人在其他地方女人的眼里,有地域优越感,斤斤计较还有一些自傲。但仔细想来,几乎每一个优秀女人都会产生这样的情绪。当上海时装与巴黎同步上市,上海女人走在世界时尚的最前沿时,这样的“自傲”反而成为一种与时尚相融合的精神状态。扮靓保养更不假他人之手。美容院是缴学费的地方,学成回家,自己再练得青出于蓝。保养品,营养剂,贵一点无妨,要紧是效果好

处世篇    “拎得清”和“讲实惠”是上海女人在外抛头露面,待人接物时的准则。在人口密度高住房拥挤的上海生存,从小就识得看人脸色。满屋子人客,眼睛一扫,即知谁是老板,谁是夥计。嘴儿甜是一回事。讲话知轻重,时机抓得准,才是高招。上海女人深知“一分钱一分货”的道理。Coupon 尽量用,减价最欢迎。蹩脚东西免谈。说她精打细算,不如说她,“便宜要贪,亏吃不得”。去中国餐厅吃饭, 碰上个上海女招待,问她某道菜可好味。你猜她怎么答?  “蛮入味的,不过今朝, A菜新新鲜鲜的,又嫩。活蟹也刚刚来,吃一磅送一磅,俩个人吃正好。”听得食客食指大动,速速点头。她又顺势介绍了汤与凉拌菜。最后加一句: “好了,俩个人吃尽够了。不够吃再加,快来兮的。”一餐下来,菜式、价钱均和心水。的确很实惠。对这女招待徒增好感。

以上是网上看到的一篇文章,今天和一个朋友讨论到上海女人,其实上海女人并没有你们想得可怕,只是有很多讨厌的女人一直在败坏上海人的形象,给人一种贪慕虚荣的感觉,的确有很多人爱钱,但是那种人在哪里都有。有时候想想很悲哀,easter的时候出去玩,一些外国人竟然因为我是上海人而不和我讲话,最后熟了才告诉我他们很怕上海女人,天哪!!就是因为有些恶心的女人,让大家都开始看不起我们上海人!但是也有很多人讨厌上海女人是出于妒嫉,的确上海女人算是女人中的女人,相对来讲比较有气质。其实有时候也不能怪那些女人,没有很好的出生,当然想要找个人可以改变她们的生活,但是有时候把那个看得太重就不好了,为什么女人不能靠自己呢,整天想要钓金龟婿。希望上海可以少一点爱慕虚荣贪钱的女人,让大家改变一下看法哦!

Talking about "老上海"N个节约细节

 

Quote

"老上海"N个节约细节
from:新民周刊
节约二字,在上海人口中又呼作"做人家"。如:"张家阿嫂真做人家,一块红腐乳笃笃,要过两顿饭呢。"
  "做人家"作为特定时期特定情景下的常用词,真切地传递出上海人勤俭持家的秉性和对生活质量精心策划的追求,它是城市文明进程中,一个族群生活智慧的高度概括。"做人家"的上海人集体性格,或许可以从张爱玲、苏青的作品中窥破端倪,在今天呼拉拉奔向小康的E时代,这种性格特征依然存在于琐屑的生活细节之中,既是外省人讥讽上海人的把柄,也是上海人卓然而立的主要风格--并不会刻意掩饰或以此为耻。在打造节约型社会的今天,若能心平气和地重新审视,或许能会心一笑。做一个可爱的上海人,其中应该包含"做人家"的谦逊。

    节约领(俗称假领头)是上个世纪六七十年代上海人对中国服装史的杰出贡献。在凭布票买衣服的那个年代,发明者真是用了置死地而后生的灵感来剪裁这只领子。节约领的妙处在于用最少的布料维持了上海人的体面,而且洗换起来也相当方便。有些节约领做得非常精致,领子是百折不挠的硬扎,系领带也不会露拙,所需布票只有几寸。与节约领有异曲同工之妙的是绒线领头,那是贴在女性大衣领子上面的,由自己用毛线编结,既保暖又时尚,还能使大衣领子免遭污损。

    上海是一个产业城市,于是工厂的劳防用品也被上海人开发出来。比如纱手套,一年可以省几副下来,拆开来染成红的绿的,再结成一件纱衫,让孩子穿。保暖性稍差,但聊胜于无。同样,劳动布的工作服也能省下来,改一下让正长身体的孩子穿。那时候上海的服装店里还有一种两面穿的双用衫,一面是咖啡色的灯芯绒,一面是宝蓝色的咔叽布,以一当二,温柔地抚慰了一颗枯萎的虚荣心。

    今天的年轻人可以指责上一代人揩公家的油,拿劳防用品做生活资料,但从那个时候熬过来的人只会泛起一层心酸。那时候,有一个口号,"新三年,旧三年,缝缝补补又三年。"据说也是大国总理周恩来倡导的。即使缝缝补补之后,那件破衣服也舍不得扔掉。按线缝拆碎,刷了浆糊褙硬衬,可以做鞋面。那年头男的穿松紧鞋,女的穿搭攀鞋,冬天则有蚌壳棉鞋。黑面白塑料底,3元多钱一双,对多子女家庭而言,也是不小的开销,自己做就省多了。硬衬是鞋面的内衬,然后再配黑色直贡呢鞋面和黑色滚条,内衬白布。鞋底有两种,一是布的,自己纳,穿起来很轻巧,很适宜坐办公室的人穿。为了防潮,还可以到皮鞋摊钉一副前后掌。二是塑料底,店里也有买。鞋面鞋底配齐后,送皮鞋摊请老师傅绱一绱。如果遇到聋人师傅,手艺更精,盖因不受外界干扰耳。

    破布的另一种出路是扎拖畚。上海人一向是爱清洁的,家中虽仅能容膝,但地板始终干干净净。

    那时候的上海布店,还常出售零头布,所需布票很少,价钱也便宜,是家庭主妇的最爱。零头布若买得巧,可以做外套、短裤、马甲等。还有一种边角料论斤买,比如三角形的彩色织锦缎零料,难不倒聪明的上海女人,照样能拼出被面子、窗帘及沙发套来。

    上海的家庭主妇是精于算计的。水,早就充分利用了,淘米水再用来洗菜,洗衣服水再用来拖地板,最后一桶脏水还要用来冲水泥地,随着水汽的蒸发,地面就降温了,过一会在弄堂里纳凉就不会感到暑气难当。上海的弄堂一般都有一两口井,近井楼台先得水,可以镇西瓜啤酒、洗衣服、拖地板,每周一次的大扫除也是用井水。纳凉用的蒲扇,烫了姓氏以防流失,滚了布边致使耐用。

    电,也是用得很省的。特别是夏天,户外活动时间增加,家里的灯就开得少,孩子看书打牌吹牛皮都围聚在路灯下。也有从家里拖一根电线出来的,看电视,吃老酒,左邻右舍也来借光。

    上海石库门房子里的水龙头和电表都是一家一只的,有时水龙头还会罩一只马口铁罐头,以防盗用,此种情景常遭外地人嘲笑。但这些措施到位后,水电资源大大节约了。

    上海人在饮食上也是很节约的。过去有一种馄饨面,半碗阳春面加半碗小馄饨,馄饨权作面浇头,不至寒酸。后来这种吃法传到了香港,现在香港还有供应。上海人吃菜泡饭,隔夜冷饭加吃剩冷菜共煮,小菜也不需要了。上海人居家最经典的菜是咸菜炒肉丝,咸菜入味,经得起吃,肉丝表示荤腥,以示改善伙食。这道菜的妙处还在于,可以全家分而食之,又不及红烧肉那样大开销,还可以作为面浇头。负笈海外的游子,回国后最解馋的早餐往往就是母亲下厨做的一碗咸菜肉丝面。

    上海人对企业福利的享受是坦然的,比如食堂里有馒头供应,买几只回家哄孩子,肉馅、菜馅、豆沙馅的都比点心店里卖的便宜一两分钱。有一老先生,爱吃王家沙的鲜肉汤团,但他只吃汤团皮,留着鲜肉馅心带回家,中午放点菜心一煮,就是一道菜心肉圆汤了。如此用心的算计是老一代上海人的普遍态度。

    以前上海人在饭店打牙祭,从来不铺张,吃不完的一定要打包。办酒席吧,客人一定要把走油蹄髈留下,让主人带回去。一来已经吃得差不多了,二来上海风俗,新郎新娘应向媒人送十八只蹄髈。十八只当然是个口彩,但全身而退的蹄髈在婚礼之后确实有很大的用处。这也是上海人的厚道所在。

    上海女人善于持家,上海男人也不赖。那时候,节能的八芯煤油炉也是自己用废旧马口铁罐头敲出来的。三角铁可以焊成金鱼缸,旧铅皮敲成台式8瓦小日光灯灯罩灯座。上世纪70年代,弄堂里到处可见上海男人在做木工活,刨花随风轻扬。喇叭箱、小菜橱,床边柜、写字台、沙发,就这样做成了。而且这些家具都是用废木料做的,比如造房子的水泥壳子板,旧家具的碎料等,凭户口簿划区限量供应。一度,油漆店和五金店生意奇好,猪血老粉和抽屉锁断档。

    那时候,家有一辆自行车,绝对是富足的象征。上海男人有了车后,必定要学会自己保养修理,比如换个胎啊,给轴承上牛油啊。换下来的内胎,留着补胎用,多余的可以做木拖板的鞋帮,也可以切成橡皮筋。外胎呢,可以打鞋掌。当时,家门口停一辆18型凤凰锰钢牛皮鞍座自行车,真比今天停一辆大奔还来得风光呢。

    大人的节约秉性当然也影响孩子,在多子女家庭,当老爸的得学会理发,休息天依次给孩子理发,剃成马桶头别哭,头发短了才是硬道理。剪下来的头发不会像今天那样拿去做酱油,而是搪煤炉。碎头发与泥混合,赛过三合土里插钢筋。孩子的课本也用过期的挂历包封皮,草稿纸有专门的纸品店供应。从印刷厂出来的纸边,两三寸宽,三五分钱能买一大叠,保用一学期呢。课余时间帮大人做煤球,拆开旧信封翻个身再糊成一只新信封,或用旧挂历做成一只只小粽子,串起来就成了很好看的门帘啦。

    在今天光怪陆离的消费时代,昨夜里上海人过于悭吝的做法可能不利于促进消费,拉动内需,但我们的物质也没有富足到可以一掷千金的程度。再说,节约是中国人的美德,在打造节约型社会的今天,上海人的生活智慧应该得到肯定,上海人对物质消费的审慎精神更应该发扬。社会越文明,消费越节约。节约有利于个人,更有利于社会。这个道理,"做人家"的上海人早就懂了。[新民周刊]

陈昭:城里人和乡下人

刚到上海上大学那会儿,老听上海同学一句口头禅,乡下人,上海发音为乡无宁。凡是看不上眼的他们都叫乡无宁,也就是我们北京话土老冒的意思。一开始,总觉得他们在搞种族歧视,时间长了,觉得城里人比起乡无宁的确门槛精明的太多太多。

十运会终于在石头城偃旗息鼓了。当许多省市忙着盘点自己的奖牌数量论功行赏之时,城里人却气定神闲的在旁边撇嘴皮子。画外音谁都听得出来, 这帮乡无宁又在犯傻冒呢。可不是吗,人家上海人现在玩儿的是精品体育。十运会赛场谁最火?刘翔一出场,南京奥林匹克体育场就爆满,刘翔赛完,立马跟着走了 一大半观众。当今中国体坛上,就算上郭晶晶、王楠等等,但只要姚明、刘翔一出来,其他人就黯然失色,超级明星的力量谁也挡不住啊。

姚明一个人的收入大概抵得上几百个中国体育明星的收入,刘翔如今也迅速进入到体坛富豪的行列,找他拍广告的厂商赞助商排队等着刘翔和他的师父孙 海平的召见。当全运会即将走向穷途末路的时候,精明的上海人早早就料到这一点,他们开始打造与自己这个国际大都市相匹配的国际体坛巨星;而不是像穷家小业 的乡下人天天掰着手指头数每天挣来的一点点碎银子。

姚明、刘翔成为上海的代名词,不光拿到全国就是拿到世界上同样响当当,有此足亦。您就是在十运会上捧回一堆奖牌,那又算什么呢?!实施精品战略,打造超级巨星。上海人,玩儿的就是精明。

就像我们国家的出口产品,上海体育不去做袜子鞋子,而是搞高科技,附加值高高利润大大的产品。当然袜子衬衣也要有人去做,但是毕竟,一万双袜子 也顶不上一件高精尖,所以,能作高精尖,当然就不去做袜子了。虽然,老美欧盟一个劲的在那里与中国的纺织品较劲,但他们还是不屑一顾去做袜子这样的低端产 品,只不过给国内做个样子看看而已。人家一架波音、空客,就够我们多少双袜子啊。

中国体育有时也要换个思路。2008年北京奥运会结束之后,竞技体育怎么搞,其实应该摆上议事日程上来先未雨绸缪了。08之后,体育肯定要有所 降温,这是不言而明的。三年时间,说快快的不得了。到时候,奥运会一结束,后奥运综合症恐怕就会蔓延,特别是体育局的同志们,所以,我们不能再当乡下人, 要向城里人学习。

中国经过20多年的改革开放,已经成为体育大国了。但我们不少竞技项目却依然还是生活在计划经济的襁褓之中,迟早有一天,后遗症的严重后果要显现出来。乡无宁,的确有些挤兑人的意思,但土就是土,如果您连自己土都不敢承认,那您真算玩儿完了。

Talking about Apology

 

Quote

Apology
Ok I admit it....I started yesterday's Cronulla Beach Riots...I didn't expect such a big crowd to take advantage of my 'Free Vegemite-flavoured VB' promotion......
 
I know I was covering my own arse but I shouldn't have lied about some guy called "Jihad" taking that last free sample...
 
If you overlook the harassment/beating of innocent people and the police getting pelted with beer cans, riots aren't so bad...it's just a mass gathering of people, kinda reminds me of NYE really.....
 
I went to observe the happenings dressed as a gay guy.......and for once, people were too distracted to notice my leather Speedos.
 
Not that I condone lifeguard bashing, and I'm sorry that happened last week, but, who can honestly say they haven't wanted to beat up David Hasselhoff??
 
 
And talk about the true blue fair dinkum Australian way....the news reported that the riot crowds subsided as soon as the nearby bottle shops and pubs were shut down by local authorities - Los Angeles eat your heart
out!
 
UPDATE: As for the riots at Maroubra and Brighton Le Sands....I didn't start those....I could only assume they were on a belated Easter egg hunt and were told the eggs were hidden inside the various parked cars in the area, and hence had to smash them open to get to them....
