信乐团内讧 阿信与艾回联手逼Chris退团

日前一名自称是艾回唱片员工的读者爆料，指信乐团主唱阿信与艾回联手，逼迫吉他手孙志群（Chris）退团，
知情人士透露，导火线是Chris分的酬劳居团员之冠，引发阿信不满。Chris日前未承认酬劳较多，但表示确实
被逼退，他已寄出存证信函要求艾回道歉、终止合约。阿信则全盘否认打压Chris

据了解，阿信看Chris不顺眼，缘自四年多前，Chris与艾回签约时，前副总左惠夫欣赏他的音乐才能，特别在
合约中注明，信乐团的酬劳并非依照5位团员均分，而是Chris领得比较多，但艾回现任副总David昨表示合约
有保密条款，不愿证实此事。

爆料者指出，因阿信与Chris一直处不好，索性跟艾回唱片表示不要用Chris，结果Chris在不知情下被解约，
而艾回与阿信因此寻找新吉他手取代他，到西安参加演出，还对外表示他因家中有事、个人生涯规划，萌生退团念头。

Chris前晚被问及此事，忍不住说：“请公司不要再编谎话了。我也不知道阿信为什么一直要针对我，我一直很
尊重他。”并表示已委请律师寄出存证信函，要求艾回终止合约，并提出解释与道歉，正式退出信乐团。

阿信昨在北京出席活动，对此事大呼冤枉，还无奈表示为何矛头要指向他？信乐团成军以来，闹出不少风波，
声势已大不如前，如今再发生内讧，该团要再重新振作，恐怕有待时间考验。

自己当时非常喜欢这首歌，也是因为这首歌而买了伍思凯这张专辑..

说好和你一起流浪
失约的我独自飞翔
窗外景物不断的变换
提醒我背叛的心慌

说好不让你再流泪
迷惑的我不知是错是对
下雪街头独自的行走
握不住一杯温热的咖啡

new york dallas los angeles
寂寞公路每站都下雪
想念等候
流逝的梦
寂寞公路每寸都伤痛

sunrise moonshake heartbreaker
寂寞公路每站都下雪
冷漠激情
点烟的手
寂寞公路哪里是尽头

寂寞公路－伍思凯　词：言儿　曲：伍思凯　编曲：伍思凯/Roberto Zayas　专辑：特别的爱给特别的你

a chinese who can't really speak mandarin? a malay who can't speak malay or an
indian who cant speak tamil? personally, if i can't speak mandarin well, i'll feel
very ashame of myself.. really..

i was watching "She's the One!" on channel 8 and there are 12 young chinese ladies
who supposd to compete with each other to be The One.. and the first 4 girls
i seen could not speak proper mandarin! and 2 of them only speak in english!
and TCS have to come out with the chinese subtitle! hello? is this channel 8 or
channel 5?

i know english is the language we use in our modern society, but i don't see
this as the reason for not learning chinese language and speak good mandarin..
and honestly, i only speak english during official event or to someone who're not
chinese, thus i use mandarin most of the time.. even in my work place, we speak a
mixture of english, mandarin and hokkien.. whereby mandarin is used most of the
time.. my boss communicate with us in all 3 langauges too..

its a pity that we chinese is losing our own values and cultures.. and people
in china are much more influenced by the western cultures and media.. one of the
worst thing we chinese are losing is traditional education.. old chinese confucius
teachings, buddhism and taoism teachings which focus on traditional morality,
enthics are being abolished and replaced by the new western style.. america have the
highest teenager crime rate, and why do we still following their way of teaching?
ironic huh? haha.. and now the western countries are looking into chinese and indian
histories as in how do the chineses and indians managed to live in harmony for
thousand of years.. and they realised that its the traditional educations that hold
the chinese to be upright and cohesive.. chinese education lies on harmony, western
education however focus in competing with one another.. and now we chineses are
competing with each other..

Master Jing Kung said, "The chinese temples in china are much more effective then
10,000 policemen." in the olden time, the chinese temple remind one of cause and
effect.. people visiting the temple have the mindset of doing right and you'll have
good fortune, doing wrong and you'll suffered in hell.. during that time, there're
not as much crime rate like now and there are no murdering case of parents, brothers
etc.. in america, its not rare to see such cases every year.. thus chinese
traditional education play a very vital role in development of mankind.. and it is
this our very own cutlture that we are losing it..

Did I married the right person?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,
"How do I know if I married the right person?"

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends.
Is that your husband?"

In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your
mind.

Here's the answer.

Every relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse.
You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural
and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to do anything. That's why it's
called "falling" in love... because it's happening to you.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of
that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and
then something came along and happened to you.

Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural
cycle of every relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they
come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's
idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about
your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when
you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right
person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once
had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when
marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look
outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most
obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive
TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does not lie outside your
marriage. It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And temporarily you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years
later. Because (listen carefully to this):

"The key to success in marriage is not finding the right person; it's learning
to love the person you found."

Sustaining love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll never just happen
to you. You have to make it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression
"the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly,
it takes wisdom. You have to know what to do to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is not a mystery. There are specific things you can
do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe, there are also laws for
relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically
stronger, certain habits in your relationship will make your marriage stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are
predictable... you can sustain love and love will never die.. you do not need to
find another person to fall in love with..

Love in marriage is a commitment... not just a feeling..

你的泪光 柔弱中带伤
惨白的月弯弯 勾住过往
夜太漫长 凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上 冰冷的绝望

雨轻轻弹 朱红色的窗
我一生在纸上 被风吹乱
梦在远方 化成一缕香
随风飘散 你的模样

菊花残 满地伤 你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠 我心事静静淌
北风乱 夜未央 你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单在湖面成双

花已向晚 飘落了灿烂
凋谢的世道上 命运不堪
愁莫渡江 秋心拆两半
怕你上不了岸 一辈子摇晃

谁的江山 马蹄声荒乱
我一身的戎装 呼啸沧桑
天微微亮 你轻声地叹
一夜惆怅 如此委婉

菊花残 满地伤 你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠 我心事静静淌
北风乱 夜未央 你的影子剪不断
徒留我孤单在湖面成双

菊花台－周杰伦　词：方文山　曲：周杰伦　专辑：依然范特西《满城尽带黄金甲》片尾曲

这几天拿了年假，在家里看了静空法师的演讲，慧律法师的演讲，有许多领悟。
佛是觉而不迷，念念都是觉而不迷，对于实事真相完全了解。我们觉察是不容易，
觉察不到这是实事。念念要想着观想，这个我们可以做。观想一切万法，包括自己身体
刹那生灭，你能常常这样想，你才晓得这个东西是假的。幻象假象根本不存在。

《金刚经》说的好：[凡所有相，皆是虚妄，若见诸相非相，即见如来]
[一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电]。这里头就没有时间、没有空间。
佛劝我们[应作如是观]这是般若智慧，这是诸法实相，宇宙万有的真相！

佛法教学是以智慧为中心，佛所说的一切经纶，字字句句无一不是充满了圆满的智慧。
世尊说法四十九年，单单[诸法实相]就讲了二十二年，这是真实智慧。如果能对[诸法实相]
有相当的认知，知道尽虚空遍法界是一个自己，不但自己的问题解决了，过去从哪里来，
将来到哪里去，也清清楚楚、明明白白。我们自己清楚明白，再将这个事介绍给别人，
让大家都了解明白，这个世界变成了和乐融融的极乐世界，极乐和此地就没两样啊。

迷悟在一念之间，祸福也在一念之间，念头转过来，这是福不是祸；念头转不过来，
祸上加祸，这个世界的劫难如何能避免？

What Happens To Your Body If You Drink A Coke Right Now?

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your
recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming
sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.

20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds
to this by turning any sugar it can get it’s hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of
that at this particular moment)

40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dialate, your blood
pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.
The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.

45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers
of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower
intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses
of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.

>60 minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have
to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and
zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.

>60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar
crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed
away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable
nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to
hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

so guys, drink pepsi.. =p

Joke of The Month

A Pharmacist Dad
A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms.
The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of three,
nine or 12 and asks which the young man wants.
"Well", he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot.
I want the condoms because I think tonight's THE night.
We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out.
Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12-pack."
The young man makes his purchase and leaves.
Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents.
He asks if he might give the blessing, and they agree.
He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes.
The girl leans over and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person."
He leans over to her and says, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist!"
