以此肉身 抵擋流年 Against the Current of Time

以此肉身　抵擋流年。這是朋友MSN的簽名，因為是女性，所以更讓我覺得壯烈異常！(慘烈?!)

早前忙著選舉，又常過早出晚歸的日子，有一天我坐巴士夜歸，累得睡著而坐過了站。因為沒有夜班車，於是走路回家，雖不失為一個獨處靜思的好機會，但同時也頗感落寞，想起了區選時我曾引用的李義山那句詩：「紅樓隔雨相望冷，珠箔飄燈獨自歸」(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=597)以及朋友MSN的這句簽名。

和同事談起這件事，同事說：為誰辛苦為誰忙呢?

是啊，為什麼呢?說理想麼?在現在這樣的社會裡，這樣講要麼讓人覺得虛偽，要麼只會引為別人冷嘲熱諷的談資。

看來，這軀軀肉身，抵擋的又豈只是逝水流年?

PS: 這是前些天寫的網誌，一時感觸，抱歉在臨近中秋時post這類感傷的網誌。

"Against the Current of Time" (I translate it from the Chinese)is the signature of a friend's MSN a/c. It has a special impact because my friend is a single female and because of its classical implications of growing old and the cruelty of life and time.

I've been very busy in my work. There's one time I missed the bus stop because I was too tired and fell into sleep on bus. It was late that night so I had to walk home that gave me a chance to think over my work and my life. It made me felt sad and lonely that night.

I talked about it with my colleague and she asked: what are you doing for working so busy?

For my dream? It only can make people joke about you if you talk about dream in HK.

"Against the Current of Time", what we are against is far more than time.

PS: I'm sorrry for posting this sad blog article while the Mid-August Festival is coming.

黃竹坑票站得票 Result of the Wong Chuk Hang Polling Stations

I got the most ballots in WCH polling stations! It's a victory makes me happy because we won only 4  in around 100 polling stations. You could see the table below for reference. I'm sorry that I can't provide English version of this article in detail.

這次選舉，民主黨在港島百多個票中站，只在四個票站得到最高票數(見下)，黃竹坑的陳白沙票站是其中一個：多謝黃竹坑居民對民主黨和對我的支持和認同，使民主黨在黃竹坑區內的得票成為各候選人的首位；但我在同屬黃竹坑區的香港仔網球及壁球中心的得票只是在公民黨和葉劉淑儀後面排第三，幸好這是個小票站，不足以影響整個黃竹坑區的票數。

這些數字初步可如下分析：

1.我在黃竹坑區內的深灣一帶成績不錯(834票)，因為公民黨、何秀蘭、阿牛等和民主黨的票源相同，公民黨幾乎在所有票站領先民主黨，尤其是中產社區更為明顯。深灣一帶是以居屋為主的社區，偏向中產，而我仍能力壓公民黨，主要原因有二，一是我是候選人，二是我身為當區區議員，工作得到認同。我不會驕傲自滿，一定會繼續努力。

2. 我區選主要對手民建聯的得票只有313票，低於我500多，甚至比葉劉淑儀的506儀還低，可見深灣區選民極不支持民建聯。如果以泛民對泛建制看的話，泛民取得1859票(未計勞永樂)，建制派取得833票，足足超出1000票。

3. 我在同屬黃竹坑區的香港仔網球及壁球中心的得票只是在公民黨和葉劉淑儀後面排第三(得票246)，情況與全港情況相似。雖然說我得票仍比在該處有支部辦事處的民建聯高(得票190票)，但我的得票低於沒有地區工作的公民當和葉劉淑儀，證明我必須加強該小區的工作，如此才不會顧此失彼。

4. 整體而言，我在黃竹坑取得與04年相約的得票(04年是1102票；今年是1080票，大約是我區選時的半數)，對比大多數票站，乃至在下列我們勝出的票中來看，我在黃竹坑的得票成績驕人！因為公民黨幾乎在每個中產票站得票都幾乎是民主黨的一至兩倍，甚至更多，這是我們民主黨必須深刻檢討的一點。

投票站編號 Polling Station				1 自由黨	2 何秀蘭	3 甘乃威	4 阿牛	5 民建聯	6 蕭敏華	7 勞永樂	8 公民黨	9 葉劉	10 黎志強	2004            民主黨得票
A1201	上環	上環郵政局	Sheung Wan Post Office	25	242	1126	88	693	21	174	695	617	7	1550
D0501	利東二	利東社區會堂	Lei Tung Community Hall	12	248	691	144	686	29	225	516	579	14	1383
D1001	華富二	東華三院鶴山學校	TWGHs Hok Shan School	7	250	865	102	840	12	243	626	562	11	1706
D1501	黃竹坑	香港仔網球及壁球中心	Aberdeen Tennis and Squash Centre	8	128	246	51	190	17	128	319	262	3	1102
D1502		新會商會陳白沙紀念中學	SWCS Chan Pak Sha School	14	268	834	78	313	20	183	667	506	12

注：上環票站是甘乃威本人的區議會選區；民主黨在利東有長期穩定的地區工作，上屆的羅健熙僅以23票落敗；華富二有民主黨當區區議員柴文瀚。

深灣道路面不平及枯竹問題 Potential Dangers at Shum Wan Rd

九月七日拉票日，收到不少社區小個案，以下是其中兩：

其中一位居民指雅濤閣巴士總站出口的馬路凹凸不平(見下圖)，車輛經過時會顛簸不已，他表示每當他懷有身孕的太太乘車途經該處時，都會擔心構成危險；因為此事也會影響到小童和長者，故我已於昨天現場觀察，並安排同事書面要求路政署派員維修凹凸不平的路面。

PS: 現場觀察時發現遊艇會的士站前也有類似問題，我也已要求路政署一併維修。

I got some complaints from residents on the voting day. The following Shum Wan Rd where near the exit of Shum Wan bus terminal is uneven, the resident fears that when the vehicle passing it jolts that cause potential danger, he is especially concerned about it because his wife is pregnant. We've written a letter to the concerned dept to repair the surface, because it also could cause danders to children and senior residents.

此外，繼續有居民向我反映枯竹問題，指除了枯竹有倒塌的危險外（先前跟進，請見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3764&prev=3772&next=3744），竹推下的土塊近日可能不堪重負而龜裂，他擔心整個竹堆連土塊會即時塌下，造成的意外，後果將異常嚴重。

我已再次要求地政署派員儘早清理枯竹，並視察是有否有即時危險。

There's a resident told me to keep following up the bamboo case.(See my previous follow up: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3764&prev=3772&next=3744), he said there is greater potential danger that the whole bamboo may fall because the bamboo is too heavy and he finds cracks between the roots of the bamboo and the mud.

I've demanded the Lands Dep's to inspect and prevent the dangers.

多謝支持 甘乃威當選 港島泛民取得四席 Thank You for your Support!

Pls stroll down for the English version.

多謝各位支持，民主黨團隊的甘乃威終於當選，而泛民亦在港島取得四席！這兩天都心情複雜，我固然因為甘乃威當選而開心（也為自己在黃竹坑選區取得最多票而心感安慰，因為全港只有四個票站有此結果，我以後會再分析。），但同時也為楊森未能連任乃至為民主黨的未來發展而憂心。關於這次競選的感想和分析，我以後會陸續寫出來，下面是今天的雜感，和各位分享。

星期天當晚，我留在黃竹坑點票，留到凌晨三點，然後趕赴九龍灣展覽中心，等候最整個港島的最後點票結果，直到凌晨六點官方宣布甘乃威當選後，我們才放下心頭大石。因為這次選舉，真的不像我自己07年區選以及陳方安生補選補選那麼輕鬆。

另一個值得開心的是，何秀蘭女士重返立法會，使泛民在港島取得四席！

我們團隊的楊森博士未能連任，固然與我們以往的支持者轉投其他泛民候選人有關，我們必須就此反省和檢討，以求進步；但楊森提攜後進，使民主黨新生代得以接棒的精神和功勞值得我們尊敬。在整個競選過程中，他全程投入，所付出的時間、精力都遠超我們想像，讓我們深深感動和尊敬。我以前是楊森的助理，我慶幸自己有這麼一位能為我榜樣的"老闆"，也為自己能和他共事及一起競選，感到無上的光榮！我相信甘乃威也有此同感，因為他當選後接受採訪，第一個感謝的就是楊森。

是次選擇結果，我初步認為證實四樣東西(以後再補充)：

一是紮實的地區工作有助羸得選舉，但對比地區工作欠奉但也能高票勝出的公民黨和葉劉淑儀，證明地區工程絕非影響選情最大的因素(他們分別成功取得民主黨和民建聯以前的支持著的信任)；更明顯的例子可看何秀蘭，她是一位被很多市民指責不做地區工作的候選人但仍然勝出。這點是區議會選舉和立法會選舉最大的不同。

二是政黨政治遠未成熟，市民並沒有政黨認同感，選人多於選黨，主要原因同上。

三是中央政府已達到以比例代表制分化在野政治力量，從而強化行政主導的目的。大家可見不僅泛民，連建制派也互相撕殺，混亂程度遠超七國大封相。政黨之間四分五裂，不能團結一致，哪裡能有效發揮立法機關齊心制衡和監察行政權力的角色?

四是民調只能信其大概，但誤差頗大，一到細微處就根本是"垃圾資訊"。

I thank for your support to vote for DP and pan-democrat candidates that made Mr Kam Nai Wai and Ms Cyd Ho elected in HK Island!

I'm unhappy that Dr Yeung Sum was not re-elected, but I respect him very much that he is the one who strongly supports the second tier party member to have more chance to take part in the election. Dr Yeung dedicates himself to this idea and he has been working so hard to help our team and the party as a whole. I'm honored that I was once his assistant and being his teammate to run for this election. It's no wonder Dr Young is the first one Mr Kam thanked when he was asked by the reporter after he was announced elected.

I'd like to share many with you about this election. The following are four points I like like raise:

a. the community work is far not so important in a Legco election like in the district council election;

b. party politics is far not mature in HK, people vote for the person he or she prefers rather than vote for a party;

c. the central gov't gets what it wants: disuniting the non-executive political power successfully by adapting the system of proportional representation, results in that the disunited Legco has little power to check the executive branch and it helps a executive-led gov't;

d. the election survey is for reference only, you can trust the general data but the result is far not accurate.

全投3號民主黨 Vote for No. 3

今天我們團隊和李柱銘中環最後呼籲市民支持民主黨，一個監察政府站在最前，敢於向權貴說不和勇於維護香港核心價值的政黨。

據民間智庫統計，民主黨是最能夠兌現競選政網的政黨，楊森更被特別嘉獎其敬業樂業的立法會工作。

我希望瀏覽我網誌和支持我的朋友，也能在星期天投我們團隊一票，使甘乃威進入立法會，使楊森連任，繼續服務市民。

更多照片，請瀏覽甘乃威團隊的競選網站：http://www.ahkam.hk/multimedia_photo.htm

Today my team and Matin Lee we went to Central to call for support.

I'm calling for your vote on Sunday, becuase my party dare to say no and againt the injustice!

For more info of our team, pls visit:　http://www.ahkam.hk

 

PS: 附上我發給黃竹坑居民的電郵  I post the email I sent WCH residents as following

各位朋友：

 

我深信，市民希望選來的議員，能夠真的監察政府，以防止政府由行政主導惡化為行政霸道。就此，身為民主黨的新一代，我深感任重道遠。

 

猶記得四年前我加入民主黨時，考慮的其中一個因素即是民主黨是一個敢於不，敢於監察政府的政黨。監察政府，這是立法會議員應盡的職責，民主黨即使在別的地方確有不足，但在監察政府這方面，我們自信我們是做得最好的政黨。

 

本星期日就是投票日，在此謹呼籲你和家人都能投我的團隊一票，以爭取民主派在港島取得第四席。謝謝！

 

Dear friends,

 

Monitoring the Administration is the key function of Legco. I believe citizens as you are want a legislator who dare to say no and has guts to against the injustice.

 

As a representative of the younger generation of my party, I have the responsibility to follow the model as Mr Martin Lee and Dr Yeung Sum, who have been brave enough to fight for justice for over 2 decades, to strive for democracy and a decent live for all of us, especially for the poor and those voice unheard.

We have a long road to achieve our aim, and I know there's still a long road for me to be mature enough to be a person who has greater responsibility. But my team, Dr Yeung Sum and Mr Kam Nai Wai are ready to serve you. We need your vote to help us to achieve our dream.

 

Please vote for us on the coming Sunday, vote for a team which has been fighting for freedom and justice for over 20 years. Thanks.

老人院枯樹及深灣道枯竹Potential Danger by Dead Tree and Bamboo

深灣道枯竹今天仍未見地政署派員清理(先前跟進：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=3655&prev=3612&next=3668)，昨天該署只回應說會先派員觀察，看有否即時危險；不過惠福道安貧小姐妹老人院的枯樹很快就被鋸斷並清理走，我已著同事督促地政署應儘早派員清理，以免發生危險。

Today I found the dead tree in the St. Mary's Home for the aged was cut. The gov't acts quick this time.

But the bamboo on the Shum Wan Road slope is still there today. I've asked my colleague to urged the Lands Dept again to send people to clear them in order to prevent accident.

 

下面的枯樹已被清走。
