良辰日落美景 / Sunrise Sunset


初秋的室外氣溫
是徘徊在攝氏四丶五度左右
但我還是依依不捨
懷念着過去的夏天
心中總放不下
那良辰日落的美景
或許.....
人之所以能夠繼續生存
就是能夠珍惜那短暫丶美好的時光
或許.....
有人認為
忘記痛苦
是自我麻醉,逃避現實
這.....
倒不能解釋
痛楚分娩的女人
卻還是要再次懐孕
離了婚的男人
卻還是要拈花惹草
或許.....
人去了之後
在冰天雪地之中
那良辰日落美景
還是永遠停留在那一剎那間。

YouTube: "Sunrise, Sunset" - Tevye, Golde, Perchik, Hodel, Chorus

(tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?

(golde)
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?

(tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty,
When did he grow to be so tall?

(golde)
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

(men)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly flow the days.

(women)
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as we gaze.

(everyone)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness and tears.

(tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them,
How can I help to ease their way?

(golde)
Now they must learn from one another,
Day by day.

(perchik)
They look so natural together.

(hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be.

(perchik and hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?

(everyone)
Sunrise, sunset (x2),
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness,
And tears

痴肥與飢荒 / Obesity & Famine


I enjoy all kinds of summer and winter sports, such as running in the summer and skiing in the winter.

No doubt the clean air, nutritious food and regular exercise all have contributed to my physical and mental well-being.

But transplanting to a developed country like Canada is no guarantee for improving one's health.

In fact, some of my Chinese friends who habitually over-eat and lead a sedentary life are adding inches to their girth.

They are joining an increasing number of obese Canadians who might put their health at risk.

山野半馬拉松賽跑: 『蜀中無大將,廖化作先鋒!!』/ Half-Marathon Race in the Woods: The Last Shall be the First!!


After a gruelling half-marathon run in the woods last weekend, I now weigh just 3 kg more than the scrawny kid who came to Canada many years ago.

When I was living in Hong Kong, I did not always eat different types of nutritious food, mainly because I was spending my lunch money on stamps (I could have been as tall as Yao Ming LOL) and partly because of our family income (my father's career was hampered by his lack of education, as he had had to quit school to earn money to help raise his younger siblings).

During my early years at KC, I was eating plain "Cháng fěn" 腸粉 (steamed rice rolls) for lunch. When I was in Form 3, I was the only late-bloomer in class who could sing high notes like the Vienna Boys Choir 維也納童聲合唱團. My body was still waiting for some nutritious food to kick-start my growth hormones!!! No doubt if I had stayed in Hong Kong, I would not have grown any taller and stronger, never mind becoming a marathon runner.

But then, I might have grown up to be somebody else instead of the one who is writing this blog !!!

Someone took this pic of myself receiving a "1st Place" award.
Now, just to put things in context: There is an old Chinese saying 『蜀中無大將,廖化作先鋒!!』 哈哈!

2011「加拿大陸軍 半馬拉松賽」/ 2011 Canada Army Run Half-marathon Race

On Sept 18, 2011, I finished my 3rd Canada Army Run half-marathon race with a Personal Best (PB) that beats my May 30, 2004 ING Marathon record (at the 21.1 km mark) by 33 seconds !!! Altho the difference is not that much in absolute terms, an age gap of 7+ years is significant over a runner's life span.

For example:

The qualifying time for the Boston Marathon "eases up" as a runner enters into his/her next 5-year age group. So, there is hope for those who can still run 42.2 km at age 80+ !!!!

Anyway, here are the photos and videos of the 2011 Canada Army Run.

Photo #1: At 09h00 sharp, this cannon was fired with a loud BANG, and the half-marathon race was on !!


Photo #2: Among the front runners sprinting off at the starting line of the half-marathon was #73 Rebecca Stallwood.
Photo #3: This runner ran into trouble and had to be held to get off the race track.Photo #4: Over 16,000 people participated in the Canada Army Run at the Ottawa location on Sept 18, 2011, including many injured soldiers.
Photo #5: In the half-marathon race, Joshua Karanja of Ottawa won the male category (1/3239) and the M20-29 age division (1/607), with a chip time of 1 hr 8 min 18.9 sec and an avg pace of 3.15 min/km over 42.2 kilometres.
Photo #6: In the half-marathon race, Rebecca Stallwood won the female category (1/3147) and the F30-39 age division (1/1025), with a chip time of 1 hr 23 min 2.1 sec and a pace of 3.57 min/km over 42.2 kilometres.
Photo #7 and #8: My friend Peter (in red cap) had a new machine this year and finished the half-marathon in 1 hr 12 min 47.1 sec at a 3.27 min/km avg pace. Bravo Peter !!


Photo #9: At the end of the event, awards were given to the winners of all the races that took place in Ottawa (see video below for the Canada Army Run held in Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan).
Video #1: Here is a clip of the runners taking off at the half-marathon starting line in Ottawa.



Video #2:
Over 700 participants from different countries ran the Canada Army Run held at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. You would notice three runners were wearing face-masks as an added challenge. With the face-mask on, your air-intake rate is somewhat restricted by the filters while your body is crying for more oxygen !!!

UPDATED Sept 28, 2011 Re Ottawa Sun interview with Peter Morel:
Army Run keeps on growing by Kelly Roche, Ottawa Sun

First posted: | Updated:
Peter Morel isn’t satisfied with completing the Army Run half-marathon in 90 minutes. Morel reckons he can cover the 21-km in his hand cycle faster than his 2010 time, so on Sunday he’s taking another crack at it. “Our race bikes can cruise fairly fast, so we can cruise at around the 18 km/h mark,” he said.
He was born with spina bifida, but using a wheelchair hasn’t stopped him from excelling in athletics. “I was a Paralympic rower and am trying out for the national adaptive shooting team,” he said. And the Army Run is an event that’s close to Morel’s heart. “My father was in the Second World War, in the air force. My grandfather was in the army in the First World War,” he said, adding three friends are currently serving in the military.
He isn’t the only one training. In running circles, it’s said to be the fastest growing event — roughly 16,000 people are registered in the 2011 Army Run. “Every member of the Canadian Forces takes pride in the growing popularity of this event,” said Lt.-Gen. Peter Devlin, commander of the Canadian Army. “Although the event was created as a way for the military to thank Canadians for their support, it has become clear that Canadians also want to thank the men and women of the Canadian Forces for all they do at home and abroad. And we sincerely appreciate that.” When the Army Run began in 2008, 7,000 people participated. Last year, that number doubled to 14,000 and more than $100,000 was raised for the Military Families Fund and the Soldier On program, which trains injured soldiers.
Morel co-owns TopShape Fitness Studio in Westboro, where many of his clients are in the military. “We’ve had everything from complete amputations from land mines and IEDs to spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, you know, the list goes on and on,” he said. His goal is to get soldiers moving again. “We design programs for them and teach them how to exercise properly,” said Morel. “These are highly motivated people to begin with.” They’re so motivated, Morel has recruited about 20 others to take part with him in Sunday’s event. “These guys can do anything they want if they put their minds to it,” he said.

Marathon Training - Week #15

On Wednesday Sept 21, 2011, our marathon running team was on schedule with Week #15 of the training program.

We went to a 400-metre outdoor track and did the following interval training:

* 3K of warm-up run (abt 7 times around the track, non-stop, marathon pace or less)
* 30 m short bursts (10K pace, 3 times, with a walk in btwn)
* 15 min of loosening-up exercise (skipping, grapevine, running backward etc)
* 1st Interval: 400 m run + 10 seconds walk; 800 m + 10 sec; 400 m + 10 sec.
* 2nd, 3rd and 4th intervals: Same as above except one walked 200 m instead of 10 sec at the end (i.e. 400m+10s, 800m+10s, 400m+200m)

Note 1: For each interval, the first 400 m was to be at tempo pace (faster than marathon race pace); the 800 m faster, and the last 100 m the fastest

Note 2: For the Sept 21, 2011 session, my speed varied from 4:00 to 4:50 min/K (rough estimates only, as I did not have my GPS watch with me). The last 100 m of the 4th interval was the fastest.

Note 3: Total running distance = 3K + 1K + 1.6K X 4 = approx 10K

Coming Up:

* On Sept 24, 2011, we will do a hilly 21.1K half-marathon trail race, then run an additional 11K, for a total of 32K. It is expected to be one tough day !!!

根據【維基百科】: 九一八柳條湖事件經過

1931年9月18日傍晚,日本關東軍虎石台獨立守備隊第2營第3連離開原駐地虎石台兵營,沿南滿鐵路向南行進。22時20分左右,以該連柳條湖分遣隊隊長河本末守中尉為首的一個小分隊,在奉天(現稱瀋陽)北面約7.5公里處的柳條湖南滿鐵路段上,引爆小型炸藥,炸毀了一小段鐵路,並將3具身穿東北軍士兵制服的中國人屍體放在現場,作為東北軍破壞鐵路的證據。爆炸後,河本末守立刻向北大營的方向射擊,並向日軍獨立守備隊報告「北大營的中國軍隊,炸毀鐵路,攻擊守備隊」。獨立守備隊又立刻報告了關東軍司令部。板垣征四郎下令向中國軍隊開火,進攻東北軍北大營和瀋陽城。當時,北大營駐守的東北軍第七旅毫無防備,被打得措手不及。而事前張學良曾訓令東北軍不得抵抗,駐守部隊並未做出反擊。第七旅三個團中有兩個團按指示撤走,只有王鐵漢的620團未及時接到撤退命令,被迫自衛抵抗,最後突圍撤走。由於執行不抵抗命令,北大營逾萬名守軍被只有500多人的日軍擊潰。隨後,瀋陽城及東大營駐軍亦是不戰而退,被日軍順利佔領。

其一:

你是一個美麗的人兒,
妳站在水邊鼓著臉頰的照片,
實在是令我難忘,
我願整天看著妳那可愛的神態,
我是非常想念着你。....
妳一定要收看我在加拿大眾院投票的电視錄影,
因為我將抬頭看著妳微笑,想念着妳。
愛妳的卜。

其二:

說到那老頭﹐
別管他。
你訴說的悲痛故事﹐
我也有同樣經歷。
他会讓你苦等一段長日子﹐
忘記他﹐
把他掃進垃圾箱﹐
他配不上你。

其三:

Dear Romeo:
By the time you see this letter,
I will be back home facing my husband,
and swallowing the inevitable career-killing pill.
Thanks for the good time!
Best regards to your lovely family in Canada.

外交部長的國會秘書鮑勃德克特 与 中國新華社多倫多分社女記者施蓉


Based on media reports in the public domain, it appears this case has more to do with a rocky marriage and a flirtatious Canadian politician than some sort of a well-planned espionage attempt. If the encounter btwn 鮑勃德克特 and 施蓉 had been scripted by professional spies, the email leak by 施蓉's jealous husband would not have happened and there would not have been such a public exposure of the parties involved. But then, maybe I have watched too many Hollywood espionage movies :P

OTTAWA— Globe and Mail
Posted on Friday, September 9, 2011 5:04PM EDT


Mr. Dechert is parliamentary secretary to Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird.
Xinhua is the official press service for the People’s Republic of China and Western counterintelligence organizations have likened it to an intelligence agency. This all came to light Thursday night when a mass e-mail was sent to more than 240 media, academic, political and business contacts across Canada. The missive contained the text of intimate messages written by Mr. Dechert, including ones where he professes love for Ms. Shi.

One e-mail, sent to Ms. Shi on April 17, 2010, from Mr. Dechert’s parliamentary office account, says: “You are so beautiful. I really like the picture of you by the water with your cheeks puffed. That look is so cute, I love it when you do that. Now, I miss you even more.” The e-mail was signed “Bob Dechert, MP.” The sender account named was decheB9@parl.gc.ca and the recipient was shirong2011@gmail.com, which Ms. Shi has used as an e-mail account. ....

Another e-mail, dated April 20, 2010, invites Ms. Shi to watch TV for an evening Commons vote in Ottawa. “Dearest Rong,” the note began. “How is your day? Did your interviews at Royal Bank go well? Did you get enough information for your articles?” The MP told Ms. Shi he’d just arrived in Ottawa and “I enjoyed the drive by thinking of you.” In this e-mail, he also encouraged her to watch televised proceedings in the Commons. “We will be voting at 6:30 p.m. If you have time, watch on TV or on your computer (on the CPAC website) and I will smile at you.” “I miss you. Love, Bob,” the e-mail concludes.

遭暗示涉挑情電郵事件 中國政府斥報道不負責任

【明報專訊】中國政府說﹐德克特(Bob Dechert)事件是私事﹐報界暗示北京涉身其事﹐是不負責任的報道。

保守黨國會議員德克特肩負特別外交職務﹐他說他發給新華社多倫多女記者施蓉愛意綿綿的電郵﹐純屬「純潔友誼」。

加拿大情報局長去年警告說﹐中國試圖滲透加拿大政界。德克特的電郵曝光後﹐中國駐渥太華大使館的發言人對《環球郵報》(Globe and Mail)說﹐中國不評論53歲的德克特與施蓉的個人關係﹐兩人都已結婚。

不願透露姓名的大使館發言人說﹕「我們知道相關的報道﹐但不便評論家庭糾紛﹐以及涉事者的私事。但要說一聲﹐用這事誹謗中國政府﹐就是不負責任。」

在多封外泄電郵中﹐1封是特別的私人信件﹐用中文書寫。它顯出一段複雜的關係﹐似乎有人情海翻波。

哈珀認為這封中文電郵有深入研究的需要。

電郵題為《老狐狸》(Old Fox)﹐電郵筆者看來在提點施蓉﹐教她怎麼處理自己和1名年長男子的關係。那段關係超出友情﹐現在觸礁。

電郵在2010年6月26日發出﹐據說筆者是施蓉的新華社記者同僚屈靜(Qu Jing﹐音譯)。電郵寫道﹕「說到那老頭﹐別管他。」屈靜對施蓉說﹕「你訴說的悲痛故事﹐他讓你苦等一段長日子﹐忘記它罷﹐我也有同樣經歷。把他掃進垃圾箱﹐他配不上你。」

挑情國會議員保烏紗 外長續力挺 政敵放一馬

  (渥太華13日加新社電)保守黨國會議員德克特(Bob Dechert)發出調情電郵﹐給新華社女記者﹐雖然可能是拙劣的判斷﹐但2名政敵周二說﹐他不必為此辭職。外交部長白諤德(John Baird)也力挺他﹐說仍然相信他。

新民主黨司法評議員科馬丁(Joe Comartin)告訴加新社﹐德克特沒有必要退出1個跨黨委員會﹐它正在甄選候選人﹐填補加拿大最高法院2個空缺。

該委員會5名成員包括2名反對黨國會議員﹐科馬丁是其中一人。他們將推薦6名候選人﹐交由總理哈珀考慮﹐填補最高法院的空缺。

科馬丁指出﹐德克特「沒判斷力」﹐令他感到意外。但他指出﹐委員會揀選最高法院空缺候選人﹐受「嚴謹程序」約束﹐德克特遵守應無問題。

德克特上周承認﹐他發出示愛電子郵件﹐給新華社多倫多記者施蓉﹐該新聞機構與中國情報機構有關聯。但他堅稱﹐兩人的關係是「純潔的」。

但科馬丁說﹐德克特與那新聞機構代表交手時應該更加慎重﹐很多國會議員知道﹐這個新聞機構與間諜的聯繫。

他說﹕「我們全都知道﹐尤其是那間新聞社﹐基本上是中國政府的宣傳工具與間諜工具。那是無人不知的。」

自由黨國會議員麥家廉(John McCallum)表示﹐加拿大保安情報局(CSIS)應調查德克特的行為﹐但他沒有要求這名國會秘書辭職。

麥家廉告訴記者﹕「他顯然作出拙劣的判斷﹐特別是他任職外交部。

「關於德克特應否辭職﹐實際要由委任他的人決定。」

外交部長白諤德繼續為自己的國會秘書辯護﹐說他對德克特的信心從未動搖。

白諤德周表示﹐他與這名多倫多地區的國會議員長期共事﹐仍然相信他。他拒絕就事件進一步評論。

哈珀接納「純友誼」 「挑情議員」保官職
德克特負責北美事務

(2011/9/10)

【明報專訊】外交部長的國會秘書周五發表聲明﹐承認他給中國新華社多倫多分社女記者發電子郵件﹐行文有調情字句。聯邦保守黨政府連忙採取補救行動﹐總理辦公室的電郵說﹐國會秘書沒有不當表現。

 外交部長白諤德(John Baird)的國會秘書鮑勃德克特(Bob Dechert)周五晚間發聲明道歉﹐承認他與新華社多倫多首席記者施蓉(Shi Rong)在華語訪問中相識﹐成為朋友。

【綜合報道】總理哈珀辦公室周六說﹐保守黨議員德克特(Bob Dechert)被要求全面交代﹐他和那個女子的關係﹐並准許他保留外交部長白諤德國會秘書的職位。

總理辦公室說﹐德克特周五公開說﹐這只是純潔的友誼﹐總理辦接受他的說法。

總理辦助理傳訊總監麥克杜格爾(MacDougall)說﹕「德克特否認任何不當行為﹐我們手上沒有其他資料﹐證明相反說法。」

德克特是密西沙加-艾林黛爾(Mississauga-Erindale)選區保守黨國會議員﹐他承認發出調情電郵給多倫多新華社記者施榕(Shi Rong)﹐令執政保守黨難堪。

另外,政府消息來源周六說﹐承認發調情電郵給新華社記者的國會秘書﹐被要求交代電郵內容。前情報官員說﹐這名國會議員可能要向保安官員解畫。

德克特承認向新華社記者施榕發出電郵。雖然電郵純屬調情﹐但德克特形容他與女記者的友誼「純潔」。

即時不清楚﹐德克特要向政府的哪個人交代他的事件。

1名加拿大保安情報局(CSIS)前高級情報官員說﹐任何訊問德克特有關他與施榕的關係﹐可能涉及保安官員。

現在主管1間私人保安公司的朱諾-卡蘇雅(Michel Juneau-Katsuya)說﹕「加拿大保安情報局會即時警覺。」

外交部長白諤德(John Barid)有兩個國會秘書﹐該政府消息來源說﹐德克特負責北美洲﹐不是亞洲。

國會秘書的主要角色﹐是部長不在時﹐在眾議院回答問題。該消息來源周六說﹐他們通常不能接觸機密的部長級信息﹐德克特唯一可能得到的﹐是在質詢時間回答反對黨質詢的簡報筆記。

另1個政府消息來源證實﹐德克特不是負責亞太事務﹐沒有紀錄顯示﹐他曾獲得任何涉及中國的簡報。

施榕周六拒絕在電話評論﹐她在掛線前說﹕「抱歉﹐我現在不能說任何話。」

德克特的互聯網說他已婚﹐5月2日大選後﹐擔任白諤德的國會秘書職務。在那之前﹐他是司法部長的國會秘書。

朱諾-卡蘇雅表示﹐德克特不是政府前座議員﹐但不會令此事的保安憂慮顯得不重要。

朱諾-卡蘇雅說﹐怎樣套取情報﹐中國情報官員非常老練。他說﹕「中國情報人員工作時﹐不會以月或年的策略計劃為基礎﹐他們有時經歷數個世代工作。」
