| 冬季戀歌 ‧ 情定大飯店 ‧ 情定哈佛大學 ‧ 浪漫滿屋  天國的階梯 ‧ 大長今 ‧ 藍色生死戀 ‧ 該隱與亞伯
自去年年初﹐我已經看過以上的韓劇﹐每一部都看得津津有味。觀賞期間﹐也發現很多共同的特色和共同點。以下為例﹕
演員﹕在韓劇中的每一個演員﹐無論是主角還是配角﹐都是能夠演出不同性格的真真正正一流藝員。- 崔智友﹕《冬》劇飾演追求夢想和愛情的有珍﹐在《天》劇卻是稍有男子氣慨的韓靜舒
- 宋慧喬﹕在《藍》劇和《大飯店》的溫柔女子角色﹐《滿屋》裡是樂觀﹑現實﹑男仔頭的女孩
- 韓智敏﹕《大》劇裡飾演醫女﹐在《該》劇裡把一個純真的北韓女子性格毫無瑕疵地演繹出來
- 金泰熙﹕《天》劇裡的魔女﹐在《哈佛》卻是一個活潑開朗﹑充滿愛心的醫生
- 金海淑﹕《藍》劇中的窮媽媽﹐在《冬》劇裡展現了偉大的母愛﹐卻在《該》劇裡變成惡毒的善宇母親
- 裴勇俊﹕在《冬》劇和《大飯店》中飾演樂觀和事業成功的帥哥﹐但在愛情方面卻阻滯重重
- 申賢俊﹕《天》劇裡面是痛惜靜舒的韓泰華﹐但在《該》劇裡卑鄙的李善宇卻叫觀眾咬牙切齒
- 權海孝﹕雖是配角﹐但為《冬》和《該》兩部悲劇增添了許多幽默片段
- 白成鉉﹕崔琦秀在《該》劇裡殺人無數﹐但這個兇殘的角色和他的演技卻為他贏得最佳男配角獎
往外國 / 從外地回國﹕ 尤其是從美國回來居多 - 《冬》﹕李民亨從美國返國當建築師
- 《冬》﹕鄭有珍在法國唸書後返韓
- 《藍》﹕俊熙從美國返回韓國
- 《哈佛》﹕兩男主角在哈佛大學畢業後返回韓國當律師
- 《飯店》﹕韓泰俊從美國回歸﹐當上酒店經理
- 《飯店》﹕申東賢從美國回韓國﹐展開收購酒店的計劃
- 《天》﹕車誠俊在美國回國
- 《該》﹕李善宇在美國實行醫科研究後返韓
撞車﹕不論是人為或是意外
- 《冬》﹕姜俊祥乃因交通意外導致昏迷兩個月及失去記憶
- 《藍》﹕為前往天國重逢剛離世的恩熙﹐俊熙衝出馬路自殺﹐被貨車撞死
- 《天》﹕韓友莉駕車撞向韓靜舒﹐導致靜舒重傷及失去記憶
- 《天》﹕韓泰華駕車衝出馬路外自殺﹐為的是把眼球捐給患眼癌的韓靜舒
- 《該》﹕李楚仁被在中國綁架他的崔福根驅車撞傷﹐卻大難不死反而恢復了記憶
患重病- 《冬》﹕姜俊祥 - 因交通意外而漸漸失去視力
- 《藍》﹕尹恩熙 - 血癌
- 《天》﹕韓靜舒 - 眼癌﹐是被韓友莉駕車撞倒的後遺症
- 《哈佛》﹕李秀恩 - 血癌
- 《該》﹕李善宇 - 腦腫瘤
- 《該》﹕金瑞妍 - 心臟病
失憶
- 《冬》﹕姜俊祥因交通意外﹐導致失去記憶
- 《天》﹕韓友莉駕車撞向韓靜舒﹐導致靜舒失去記憶
- 《該》﹕李楚仁在中國被崔福根綁架並被帶到荒蕪沙漠﹐頭部中槍後失憶
失蹤 / 被別人意為是已死
- 《冬》﹕在交通意外中受傷和失憶的姜俊祥﹐醒過來後改名換姓﹐成為了吳彩琳的情人﹐並在眾人面前重現
- 《天》﹕被韓友莉駕車撞傷的韓靜舒﹐在韓友莉和車誠俊面前重現
- 《該》﹕正當所有人都認為李楚仁在中國被綁架而死﹐他卻突然在醫院中出現
三角戀 / 四角戀 / 喊 / 一流歌曲
童年角色
- 在多部韓劇中﹐很多時加入了兒童演員去扮演童年的角色。雖然是兒童﹐但他們的演技絕不比成年演員遜色。有時候某些童年的樣子﹐還跟相對的成年的角色很相似呢﹗

- Resumed studying Japanese after 8 years of separation from it.

| 持續已有一年多的金融海嘯﹐和近期中東的債務問題... 它們的威力終於殺到來我們公司﹐而我和幾位經常共事的同事﹐也無辜地成為其中的「犧牲品」。
今晚放工前半個鐘﹐有一位女同事被上司和老闆娘召到會議室談話。她一邊談﹐手一邊執著一封信在會議室內痛哭。一會兒後﹐她踏出會議室﹐便跟隨另一位女同事進入洗手間。接著﹐上司便請了好幾位同事入會議室﹐心想也不會有好消息了﹐卻偏偏沒想到最後被請進會議室的﹐竟然是我﹗
步入會議室﹐只見上司和老闆娘的面色不大好看﹐房間內瀰漫著一股沉重的氣氛﹐感覺猶如將要被處死一般。
「We are sorry, but we will have to let you go」。坐下來﹐這就是老闆娘以流利的英語對我說的第一句話﹐說罷隨即給我遞上了一封解僱信﹐和核對個人資料。雖然上司強調我的表現一直也是非常好﹐但是因為金融海嘯﹐和最近在中東地區爆發的債務問題﹐而要削減人手。他答應會給我寫一封好好的推薦信。聽罷無言以對的我﹐只好無奈地和默默地收下解僱信。
從會議室出來﹐看見剛剛會見過老闆娘和上司的同事﹐紛紛執拾和清理自己的工作台面﹐我也開始收拾自己的私人物品和文件。
 與我一起被解僱的同事們﹐只是忙著執拾東西﹐臉上卻未有特別傷感或無奈的表情。相反﹐一位有幸沒有被解僱的女同事卻淚流滿面。這位已哭得雙眼通紅的同事﹐就是常常與我一起合作做 GIS 工作的好同事 Athena。我走到她的旁邊安慰她﹐著她不用哭﹐將來定有機會再一起共事。她跟我說﹐對我和離開的同事們依依難捨﹐難以接受一下子要跟多位同事道別的這個事實﹐並說也快要離開這個沒有生氣和人氣的辦公室﹐聽了實在令人心酸。也難怪﹐面對著突然間差不多半數的好同事也要離開的事實﹐往後的日子便是孤零零地坐在一個靜寂和空虛的辦公室內﹐整天只是對著一份又一份令人厭倦的文件和圖則﹐和一個無言和死寂的電腦螢幕﹐縱使我幸而未有被解僱﹐也再談不上什麼工作的心情﹑動力和熱誠了。
收拾好所有東西後﹐我跟一兩位同事交換了聯絡電話和電郵﹐跟他們和上司握過手﹐便最後一次踏出了辦公室﹐拖著疲倦的身軀回家去。明早起床便要面對失業這個殘酷的事實了。
在這裡工作了差不多兩年﹐最捨不得的還是這裡一起共事的同事們。雖然與他們不算太熟﹐也沒有常常跟他們去逛街玩樂﹐但在這裡的日子裡﹐也一起過了很多充滿甜酸苦辣的日子。
至於將來﹐也未算得上是前路茫茫。至少﹐我也有兩年的工作經驗﹐心目中也有好幾間公司可以讓我碰碰運氣。不過﹐現在就讓我好好休息一下﹐反思一下過去兩年內的工作﹐再開始找工作吧。

| A roundabout design option for a Vietnamese urban design project. Created the model and added simple rendering using a combination of AutoCAD and Google SketchUp. Pretty decent results for a first attempt, I think! Though it could have been better still.
