You need to check the time table for bus or train services

I am from Hong Kong. We got the world class public transport. So, I don’t need to check the time table first. But if you vist Australia, I suggest you go online to check the time table. Even you vist the major cities. I have lived in the largest city in Australia , Sydney for around a year. They got very frequent train service during weekday. But at the weekend or late night, there may be every half hour for a train. So, please go to

Moreover, they have a journey planner which will suggest which bus or train you should take!

決斷?

我為人愈來愈不決斷。決定了,我會問自己,那值得嗎?很久前,已經是好多幾年前的事。我決斷過一次,執行了三年,人們說什麼都不聽。固執了很久。三年,我發現我錯了。至今,我依然後悔我所做的事。現在,我計劃了,我也不信我自己。我承受不起另一次的錯。

And then take an evening flight back

I am so stupid or I need more sleeping hours!!!!

This morning, I got into a bus as usual. The bus stopped at most of stops. But at South Brisbane, the Exit of busway. The bus turned right, not the usual one, left. Oooooh! I got into a wrong bus. That is 136, not my 133. End up, I was at UQ. That needs more than 30 mins getting to my office and I changed to bus again at city. No way, I called a taxi. But I have spent 20 mins for waiting. Because I waited the library of UQ. There are a number of libraries at UQ. The taxi driver spent a 15 mins to find me. …… Finally, I am 45 mins late for work!

總是懶

今早本來,是定了六時起床跑步。不過,遲了二十分鐘起床。回家時,已經天開始黑,加上下雨。都是沒有去跑步。都是因懶。不過,今會早些睡明早,早一些起床。

停下來,靜一會

近來,身邊的朋友及自己都是忙不過來。白天當然是要工作。放工,不是約了朋友吃飯。就是去上什麼的課。或是要為某某會服務。一不是回家伴老婆或女朋友。又或是要回家弄清潔。

人大了,有了自己的家,也在社會中漸漸有位置。責任多了。大家都只是不斷地做什麼、做什麼。我認為大家要停下來,想一想我們是在做什麼、為什麼而做的。

更要靜一會,我們身邊太多雜音。吃飯時,有電視伴我們吃飯。坐車時,有mp3的音樂。我們沒有一刻是沒有雜音。停下來,靜一會,用心去思想。

很想睡

很想睡,時間二十四小時好像,總是不夠用的。早上8:45-10:30回教會。11時去做健身室。下午一時,吃午餐。二時半回家打掃及弄花園。現在四時半才可以停下來。

報紙的未來

今晚,看SBS的新聞報導,美國最歷史悠久的Rocky Mountain News停刊。其實,我們這一輩會看報紙。也許,我們會看免費報紙。但我們是不會花數元買一份厚厚的報紙。首先,我們是要求快的。報紙都只是昨日的新聞,不像上網,有即時新聞。而且,我們是沒有閒情去看整份報紙。我們會用上班坐車時間來閱讀一份簡短的免費報紙,或在回家後,開電腦,用十分鐘去看網上新聞。

也許,除了新聞外,報紙還有其他的功用,如找工作。但大家都是去網上求職的。

我認為報紙是會被新媒體代替的。也許,可以轉型成新聞網站。

摘星者-後記

我相信認識我深入朋友,也知道"摘星者"不是我自己的故事。我父母是很早已經過身了。我根本不會有父親帶去看星的經歷。那故事是昨晚坐巴士回家時,想起在大約二千年時,我寫了一篇題為"摘星者"的文章。那文是說什麼弧星,我總是苦苦去摘星的故事,都是自憐的文章。

已經過了八年多, 神也改變了我不少。我希望用同一題目,但用另一個角度去看。
