寶貴一課。

第3本新書拍攝工作完成後，回到家已是晚上9點多，才吃晚餐。即使精神多麼疲倦，仍要來寫下這兩天，跟新加坡攝影師華彬上的寶貴一堂課，還有一些拍攝的花絮照片。尤其今天，我知道他是真的在教導我，怎麼在讓東西上舞台前，就設計好東西的角度，做好台前準備工作。所以，內心真的很感激。

「妳仔細地看我怎麼排列這些東西。在排東西的時候，我已經設想好我要用哪個角度拍攝過去，然後跟隨設計好的角度去排東西，把注意力放在主角身上，而背景我就是隨性的了，變得不是那麼重要。」華彬一邊排列眼前的東西，一遍跟我講解。他說，這樣排列的速度比較快，應用一些相關主題的背景就好，也顯得自然。

昨天主編在的時候，雖然華彬半開玩笑地說，真正有料的人，是不用一直從攝影機的鏡頭去看角度，也不會從旁邊看去擺設好的東西，來給意見或者做任何移動。然而，他的一言讓我想起日本的攝影大師池田大作。想當初還在唸學院的時候，曾經和同學到藝術館去觀賞池田大作的攝影作品，對他不用從相機鏡頭去看去拍攝，卻可以照出漂亮照片的功力，實為嘆為觀止。所以，華彬說的這句話，其實我甚有同感。

整天的拍攝工作下來，勿論學了多少拍攝技巧，我想，一個攝影師用了他的半輩子熱衷攝影，想必能夠學到一點點皮毛，已經是很好的事情了。最重要的還是，跟他學到工作的幽默態度，還有那種專業的精神。

送華彬及忠傑回Cititel旅店的一路上，我們還彼此分享了對各自國家一些國家發展、局勢及一些種族的課題，我想，這也是我上寶貴的一堂課。只能用不虛此行來形容這一次書本的拍攝工作。

我對這份工作越來越有歸屬感了，我相信，這種歸屬感，能夠讓我一直保持工作=生活=熱誠的想法，使工作及生活都跳躍起來，更有生命力。

緣。

久未深聊，Byron選擇在這個聖誕節，告訴我他即將與Claudia共結連理。獻上我深深的祝福，還有Peaches and Herb「Reunited」這首歌。萍水相逢，除了祝福，還是祝福。

「我從未想過，彼此那麼久沒有聊，我會在今日告訴你這個喜訊。」我也從未想過，來自文化背景，國度各異的我們，能夠徹夜暢談，聯繫至今。

很多事情，我們皆從未想過。歸功於緣。我們總喜歡這樣，當事情無法解釋下去，歸咎於些什麼，歸功於些什麼。然後，尋求認同，這就會是個很好的理由。

說緣，其實亦不為過。雖然這不過是個眾人皆認為虛擬的世界。然而，是實或虛，其實不過一念之間。你認為虛，從不用心去經營一段關係，你不用做什麼亦是虛；你認為實，用心去經營一段關係，你不用做什麼亦是實。

虛虛實實，是不是現實的世界就是實，虛擬的世界就是虛？如果是這樣，我想，我們都太膚淺了。

Byron和Claudia結婚的喜訊讓我欣喜了一個晚上。和遠強說起，這個世界就是這麼奇怪，你認為是好朋友的，其實不是；你認為，不過是普通朋友，但你們卻做到了分享分擔，成為了好朋友。遠強說，世事確實如此，一切皆隨緣。

是的，好一句隨緣。

過去曾經有過什麼故事，就讓他隨風，也隨緣。身邊有過什麼人，誰是朋友，誰不是朋友，也就隨緣吧。

還要為Byron和Claudia這段天賜良緣，獻上深深的祝福。聖誕節快樂，百年好合。

Fate.

It's been a long time since our last chat. On Christmas day, Byron told me he is getting married with Claudia. I've sent my best regards, and a song named 「Reunited」by Peaches and Herb. We get known each other by chance, besides blessing, i'm still blessing.

「I've never thought that i'll told you this good news although we never chat for long time.」Still, i've never thought we can get in touch with each other till now, although we came from different culture country and background.

There are much more thing in our life that we've never thought about. It's a fate. We like to be in this way, when things can't be explained or to blame, or owe to. Whereafter, looking for self-identity, then, it'll be a very good reason to blame or owe to.

Inerrable to talk about fate for our friendship while everyone consider Internet is a virtual world. However, this is reality or virtual depends on our thought. If you think it's virtual, and you never trying effort to keep a relationship, it'll be virtual without doing anything ; if you think it's reality, and you are trying effort to keep a relationship, it'll be reality alhough you did not do anything.

So, if it's reality in real world, if it's virtual in virtual world.....If so, we might too superficialness.

Good news from Byron and Claudia make me delight for whole night. Talk to Yuan Qiong about this, the world is so strange that you think someone is your good friend but he/she is not, when you think someone is just a friend, but both of you can share anything, being good friends. Yuen Qiong said all along with fate, and let them to God.

Yes, all along with fate, let them to God.

Let it go, just let the past go, follow the blowing wind and fate. Who will be your friend and who will not, take it easy and let them to God.

Once again, giving my best regards to Byron and Claudia, blessing for their marriage and wishing them Merry Christmas.

聖誕節的雨。

雨從下午開始下到傍晚。6點鐘下班，迎接自己的卻是一場前所未有的傾盆大雨。我和設計師Eric站在公司門口，等曉菁把車子開過來，載我們前往公司後的停車場取車。我倆望著這灰暗的天空，不禁嘆息。

Eric說，別人聖誕節下的是雪，我們下的，卻是雨。相視而笑。我說，都一樣有個「下」字。 沒有雪的聖誕節，還下了即使有傘也阻擋不了的大雨，唯有來個自娛娛人，然後會心一笑。

登上車子，才驚覺剛才和Eric聊天的阿Q精神Q不了我在車上的心情。尋遍車內外，發現進入公寓大廈的通關卡不翼而飛。我待在車內熄了引擎，想不起什麼時候掉了車卡，自己也不知道。簡直可以把車子給翻了，找到的，卻是1個多月前，突然宣告失蹤的Bonuslink卡，原來壓在車座下。我不知該好氣，還是好笑。

看著滂沱大雨，我還能做什麼。忐忑不安的心情。

回到公寓，所幸保安還認得我，給我填了遺失表格，就讓我把車駛入公寓內。我不停想想想通關卡給我的最後印象。我連什麼時候是見它最後一眼，我都想不起來。越來越沒有記性。

這個聖誕節是陰天，我的心情也是一樣。儘管如此，還是要祝朋友們，聖誕節快樂。

完成這一篇，雨已停多時，心情算已接受了現實。14樓的窗外，吹來冷冷清爽的風，心曠神怡。好想好好睡一覺，讓紛擾的心情沉靜下來。如果圍繞著睡床的，是四面牆的書櫥，滿滿櫥櫃的書，我想，那才是一大享受。

Christmas Rain.

It's downpour whole day on this christmas eve, and it's none stop to welcome me from off duty. I was standing in front of the company main door with Eric, a designer in my department, waiting for Seow Cheng to move her car here, fetching us to take our car at the car park behind the company building. We were looking at the sky, sigh.

Eric said, it's snow in some country when christmas, but it's raining in our country. Laughing. I said there is no different between snow and rain, cause both of them falling down.

We just can amuse oneself in this heavy rain christmas eve.

Still, i can't laugh anymore when i was in my car, since i realized the pass card to entrance my condominium is lost. I stop my car engine, trying to find out where is the pass card, but i had forgotten. Ransack my car but found nothing, just a Bonuslink card appear in front of me after it's lost for a month ago. I don't know whether to upset or laughing.

I can do nothing. I was in fear and trembling.

Luckily the guard recognize me and let me entrance the condominium after i filled up a report form. None stop thinking about my pass card last impression in my mind. However, it seem hasn't happened in my memory. I can't remember anything.

It's cloudy on the christmas eve, so am i. Anyhow, still want to send my best regards to my friends here, Merry christmas.

The rain stop when i finished this article, accepted the reality that the pass card really lost. Refreshing cold blowing wind outside my 14 floor condo's window. Feel want to have a sweet dream, to take a good rest. I believe, sleeping around by book shelf that full of books is a big enjoy moment.
