力克千年虫/The Millennium Bug 20集(1999)

一本新加坡电视连续剧

□□□
第一印象是里面的一段英语谚语

Yesterday is a history,
tomorrow is a mistery,
only today is a gift,
that’s why we call it Present.

听说是来源于越南的释一行禅师的话
找到一首英文诗（可能不能称其为诗）
我想，它可能是来源于此的
Dear friends:
To realize the value of ONE YEAR
想知道一整年的价值
ask the student who has failed a class
就去问被当过的学生
To realize the value of ONE MONTH
想知道一个月的价值
ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby
就去问曾经早产的母亲
To realize the value of ONE WEEK
想知道一个礼拜的价值
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper
就去问周报的编辑
To realize the value of ONE HOUR
想知道一个小时的价值
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet
就去问等待见面的情侣
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE
想知道一分钟的价值
ask a person who missed the train
就去问刚错过火车的人
To realize the value of ONE SECOND
想知道一秒钟的价值
ask a person who just avoided accident
就去问刚闪过一场车祸的人
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND
想知道百分之一秒的价值
ask the person who won a silver medel in the Olympics
就去问奥运会银牌的得主

Treasure every moment that you have!
珍惜你所拥有的每一个瞬间
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery.
昨天已成为历史.明日却依然是谜.
Today is a gift.
今天是珍贵的礼物.
That’s why it is called present*!!
那就是它为什么被称作”当下”的原因.
Show your friends how much you care…
让你的朋友知道你有多在乎他们…


* present, 在英语中除了表示”当下”,”目前”以外,更有”礼物”“礼赠”的意思。

第二印象那首插曲「LONG LONG AGO」
英国作曲家兼戏曲家T. H. Bayly在1833年的时候写的
作曲家过世后十年这支歌曲才得以发表
然后在那个年代十分的流行
很喜欢它的调调
虽然都是些很简单的音符组成的
我印象中这首歌好像只出现了两次
第一次是思捷、刘星宇、庄明轩在千禧年的清晨
平静的坐在山边的草地上清唱着这首「ong long ago」
第二次是最后的时候是庄明轩记忆尘封之后
在街头抱着吉它弹奏着这首歌寻找一个叫思捷的女孩
这两个版本都让我找到了
让我得意了一阵子
似乎没看到有OST

「情深深雨蒙蒙」里依萍生日时
钢琴弹奏的就是「long long ago」
然后那些人合唱琼瑶改写的中文版歌词
不过感觉上就像是在糟蹋经典
ＴＷＩＮＳ也唱过这首歌
不过似乎只是伴奏的
台湾偶像剧「来我家吧」第一集中
许茹芸把这首钢琴曲教给小朋友
同样的，在最近的一部很热的青春偶像「斗鱼」的第一集中
小燕子弹的钢琴曲也是「long long ago」

LYRIC：
Long, Long Ago

Words and Music By: T. H. Bayly
Adapted By: Terry Kluytmans
Adaptation Copyright ? 1999 Terry Kluytmans

Tell me the tales
That to me were so dear,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago;
Sing me the songs
I delighted to hear,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Now you are come,
All my grief is removed,
Let me forget
That so long you have roved,
Let me believe
That you love as you loved,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.

Do you remember
The path where we met,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago?
That＇s when you told me
You would not forget,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
Then, to all others
My smile you preferred,
Love, when you spoke,
Gave a charm to each word,
Still my heart treasures
The praises I heard,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.

Though by your kindness
My fond hopes were raised,
Long, long ago,
Long, long ago;
You by more eloquent
Lips have been praised,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.
But by long absence
Your truth has been tried,
Still to your accents
I listen with pride,
Blessed as I was
When I sat by your side,
Long, long ago,
Long ago.

第三印象Alpha“流星宇”刘星宇赖兴祥James Lye
前面三个是在剧中的名字
后面两是在现实中的名字
看着非常舒服的男孩
（这并不说明我有同性恋的倾向
而是期望成为他那样的人）
已婚
那些瞳景的女孩儿们肯定大叫失败
已经退出演绎圈
所以即使剧终看似会有续集的期望也就破灭了
亚利桑那州立大学毕业的高材生
现任美国花旗银行新加坡分行当主管
最后一次出现在影视上好现是「公元2000」
就是郭富城王力宏的那部

□□□
第四印象
那个米老鼠的音乐盒

□□□
第五印象
一直以来都找不到碟子或网上下载的地方|||
很非常十分极度地想重看一遍
可惜只找到各集的剧情介绍：

ZZ:Do your own thing

By Marco on September 29, 2007


http://www.marco.org/261

I was a complete nerd in high school. (I make no claims either way about my current status.) I always tried to fit in with the cool people because I thought it mattered.

One night, I was hanging out with some cool people to work on a group project. We weren’t actually working, of course - we just hung around for a while, then they wanted to go get stoned while driving around. I didn’t drink or smoke, so I just sat in the back seat awkwardly while they smoked, planning my explanation to my mother about why my shirt smelled like pot.

One guy asked me, “Do you party?” (I’d happily name him, but don’t want to incriminate him.)

I had no idea that it wasn’t meant literally. I thought he was asking if I went to parties, which I further assumed to mean big teen drinking parties. I didn’t want to admit that I had never been to one in my life, so I bullshat slightly.

“Not really,” I said, “I’m just not that into it.” Looking back on this, knowing what he really meant, this probably made me sound a lot cooler than I intended.

“You do your own thing, huh? That’s cool, man.”

And that was it. Nobody looked down on me or thought I was a nerd for doing my own thing because I seemed perfectly content doing it.

I wasn’t truly comfortable doing my own thing until years later, but I remembered that night. A stoned guy’s idle conversation became the goal for my life outlook. No other statement or occurrence has been more fundamental in making me stop worrying about what other people think and do, which in turn makes it true.
Doing my own thing

What am I? I’ve never liked the restrictive classifications imposed by employers:

* Programmer: A meaningless, easily replaced translator between someone else’s specifications and source code.
* Software Engineer: Marginally more intelligent, but still having detailed algorithmic and structural specifications dictated by management without any real input.
* Software “Architect”: An asshole.
* Web Developer: Easy programming in “toy” scripting languages for those who can’t write C++. Alternatively, Spiderman.
* “Systems” anything: CS graduates who can’t program.
* Anything “Analyst”: MBAs who can’t program.
* Interaction Designer: Floaty psychology dropouts who conduct expensive tests to determine that the software engineers suck at design.
* Web Designer: Finicky artists who don’t understand how difficult that’s going to be in CSS and refuse to budge from their pixel-perfect PSDs.

What if I can program and design a decent interface? What if I can design, specify, and implement good code all by myself?

Ultimately, I hate being pigeonholed. I’m not “just” a programmer. That’s why I don’t work at large companies: I have multiple interests and don’t want to do the same tunnel-vision duty every day.

I have no idea what Marco.org is. It has switched between a discussion forum, an advice forum, a product review site, a satirical news site, a personal blog, and a tumblelog. Every time I’d redesign it, I would attempt to change what was. I used to object to people calling it a blog (since that used to be an insult), but the definition of blogs has become so broad that it doesn’t matter anymore.

Michael from 2blowhards recently described Marco.org:

If you do make a complete website, why be conventional about it? Here’s a guy whose website consists of a classic blog, a Tumblelog, a forum, and an About page. Although it’s his site, friends of his contribute to its contents too. Unusual and fun. […] Why get hung up on such 20th century notions as the individual author, the fixed voice, the core identity, and the stable self?

I don’t want Marco.org to be “just” a blog. I don’t want it to be “just” anything. I’ve written all of the code so it can be whatever I want at the moment, and it can evolve freely when that changes.

I do my own thing, and Marco.org is its own thing. I don’t let people pigeonhole me or my site, nor do I try to do it myself.

Marco.org ignores all conventional “wisdom” about blogging.

* There’s no title or tagline. I don’t know what they’d be.
* There isn’t a new post every day. Once a week is optimistic.
* The articles are longer than most internet readers’ attention spans.
* There’s no subject focus. Dan and I happily write about computers, fruit, real estate, politics, coffee, satire, pillowcases, the internet, video games, law, ventilation, movies, and puppies. Therefore, Marco.org doesn’t fit in any directories or advertiser niches.
* We never write stupid list posts. Top 10 things, 15 reasons, 7 ideas, etc.
* A recent change: I no longer have any desire to be featured on Digg. Writing for the Digg audience feels like trying to fit in with the cool kids in high school, and has the same payoff.

I don’t care if Google can’t target ads to my site because the subjects keep changing. I don’t care if N.A.D.D. readers miss the point of a big article because they idly skimmed it. And I don’t care if impatient new visitors can’t tell what the site is “about” by glancing at the header.

Don’t try to shove yourself into a particular bucket when it’s a crappy fit. If you don’t want to be a blog, don’t wedge your identity onto Wordpress. If you can program and design, don’t work as a “Software Engineer II” at a big company. Free yourself from other people’s perceived presets.

Do your own thing. It’s great.
