談Free Hug

一如既往，這年平安夜，相約同一班朋友去尖沙咀。在海旁，當然會玩Free Hug。

我和朋友玩Free Hug，其實只為重捨中學時的感覺。我參與Free Hug，並非為了跟陌生異性親熱（我甚至覺得，跟男性吵閙起哄更是有趣）。我一向沒這種心態，尤其親嘗落club後，更明白每年尖咀海傍，為何不多中學年齡以上的人來揩油。

正確態度

塞翁失馬的故事無人不曉，只是多半人都誤解其寓意。

先是失而復得，再是因福得禍，我們可以用一句話來總結故事：禍兮，福之所倚；福兮，禍之所伏。既然是相互依伏，福與禍本來便無主次之分。因此，假如是正確地引用故事，無論是說「塞翁失馬，焉知非福」、還是「塞翁得馬，焉知非禍」，也不會影響對觀點的佐證。

奢侈

向來不善時間管理，近兩星期時間浪費得特別多。腦子裡不斷想起《創世紀》裡的角色霍景良一句劇中對白：「同你地食呢餐飯真係奢侈。唔係錢，係我嘅時間。」

「時間是寶貴的。」我的天，為何我每晚都要問一次：時間到哪兒去了？

其實我很清楚，時間是到哪兒去了的。我常自覺有一股強烈的需要去散步。早上起來要走一走；吃飽飯要走一走；下課後要走一走；無端白事也要走一走。

The same question

To begin with, the question is: what am I living for?

It appears that most people can manage to avoid answering this question and feel good with it, by simply admitting that this is a deep and philosophical problem. I can’t.

Was preparing for my final speech in the English public speaking course. I'd to do a five-minute-persuasive-speech, and I can choose my own topic. I'd rather the topic was fixed. Thinking of one was killing me. It reminded me of this question again.

I could have said something like, why shouldn’t one believe in horoscope, or why shouldn’t you love and waste money on diamonds. But I'd not like to say so. I'd like to talk something that can represent myself, something that spreads my belief or thinking.

As a direct result of this insistence, I spent the whole Friday, despite there were tons of other works, sitting in front of a blank Microsoft Word screen and sat for the 8 hours; the second day a couple hours. But it was still blank. My only idea is stories.

And yes, finally I decided to talk about stories. Who could think of that! Stories is now something that can represent me the most, which is the only topic that I can look for a persuasive speech.

I’m not actually too proud of it. lol.
