祝各位街坊新年退步！

「採菊東籬下，悠然見南山…」
陶潛‧【飲酒詩二十首】其五

下面張四格係 david 舊老友 — 漫畫家歐陽應霽幾年前送俾在下生日
o既。

唔係；唔係專為 david 畫o既。係阿齋響準備出版D原稿隨手拈起一張眼望望等我句「多謝」o個隻。

當時意識到呢四格有D禪機，但又太蠢睇唔通。覺得 personal，所以冇點俾朋友睇過。

時隔近五年，香港人急功近利o既，大多跌番入大氣層咯。當日o既深意，今天明白不過。所以 post 出o黎同大家咀嚼o下…

來年點睇？我有位良師益友話：「雖然環境好似好o左，唔駛趕住去不勞而獲喎…」

「趕住去不勞而獲」… 呢個 oxymoron 確係一針見血，david 甘拜下風。

共冕。望大家 05 年「悠閒快活，萬事如意」。

《信報》投資者日記曹仁超大哥o既建議

• 最佳聖誕禮物通常係「你」o既出現。
  
  
• 最悶o既聖誕禮物係收到別人送o既禮券。
  
  
• 許多人送禮往往想及別人有冇用，其實禮物o既真正意義係平時想買但似乎又冇真正用途o既o野。
  
  
• 送錢畀太太或子女過聖誕，只代表閣下係一位並唔關心太太及子女o既丈夫或父親。人人以為禮物係物質，點解唔諗諗非物質o既o野，例如帶太太去睇燈飾或同子女一齊唱聖誕歌？

附：曹兄口頭禪「木宰羊」意謂「不知道。」傳是閩南話。david 祖籍廣東，所以實情嘛…木宰羊。

forbidden colours

david created this "online poem" back in 1997 for fun; to see how far one could stretch the then embryonic web-page technology—which was none—for expressiveness. Last Friday, me friend Anne told me that she enjoyed the stuff I posted into the net during those years, and I shouldn't just let them all be lost to time. So david went digging. This is the only piece extant. Forbidden Colours was written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Sylvian for the soundtrack of the movie Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence which has since become a cult-classic for some reason. As Broadway Cinematique is going to show the movie again in December, thought I might as well revive the piece with a soundtrack.

Forbidden Colours David Sylvian/Ryuchi Sakamoto The wounds on your hands never seem to heal. I thought all I needed was to believe... Here am I, a lifetime away from You. The Blood of Christ or the Beat of my Heart. My love wears forbidden colours. My life believes. Senseless years THUNDER by. Millions are willing to give their lives for You. D O E SN O T H I N GL I V EO N? Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me. My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself. My love wears forbidden colours. My life believes in youonce again.

while doubting the very ground beneath me; trying to show unquestioning faith in everything. Here am I, a lifetime a w a y from you. The Blood of Christ or a Change of Heart. My love wears forbidden colours. My life believes. My love wears forbidden colours. My life believes in you once again.
