日寫夜寫

新的工作除了要設計和發展內容外,寫稿是必然的工作。亦因為以前這個部門沒有編輯,所以網站的內容比較弱,於是我一上任就是要「開荒」,重新把內容發展,於是我便寫啊寫,不停地寫。每天的工作就是寫,編輯,翻譯。除了網站的內容外,也要幫助同事寫一些宣傳的標語,所以都是寫。寫的背後是要先「諗」,所以每天就是不停地諗和不停地寫,放工時真是很累。不過到了晚上,我又接了一些freelance 寫作和翻譯的工作,於是又寫,真是名符其實是日寫夜寫。

雖然很累,但寫作是我喜愛的工作,所以也很享受。難得可以在工作上做一些自己喜歡的事,其實是恩典,是神的祝福。

prime

"prime" is a comedy talking about serious themes - responsibility, marriage and love. yet, this movie is too loose in structure that after you have watched it, you feel something is lacking. i simply feel there are bits and pieces and somehow they are not strong enough to bring out those themes.

i watched it because meryl streep is my favourite actress. she is simply great, no matter what role she is playing. in this movie, she is a mother of a young man (23 years old) who has a crush on a 37-year-old divorced woman. at the same time, she is also the counsellor of this divorced woman. so when this divorced woman told her counsellor about her sex life with the counsellor's son, you know how hard it is for the counsellor not only to listen but even to accept it as well. streep has done a great job.

a vast difference in age is a big problem to tackle even if this couple fall in love at the first sight. and marriage is not just a romantic fairy tale. there are a lot to face in everyday life practically. in addition to age difference, they also have different religions, life styles, habits, views on family, etc. afterall, marriage is a commitment and there is no "pilot test" to run beforehand. they finally end the relationship and i think it is a wise choice.
