Forevermore

Making their way home with firm strides (闊步行走)

People avoid the overflowing main street

Plugging my ears with broken headphones

I half-muttered (輕聲抱怨) your name

There's no way that anyone could take your place

Even if you betray (背叛) me, this one thing will never change

I love you, I love you. Though my heart is unfeeling

You're the only one who seizes it like this, never letting go

Oh oh, others come and go

But you're in my soul forevermore

It'll be that way forever, forever, forevermore

New friends supplant (取代) old ones. Fashions come and go.

I know that what makes me "me"

Is more than my ingrained (根深蒂固的) sense of right and wrong,
or my acquired likes and dislikes

And you were the one who taught me that

I'm not afraid of how I may end

For even if I'm somehow reborn, I still won't forget

I love you, I love you. Though being alone becomes me

You're the only one who can make me cry, even after another day without you

Oh oh, others come and go

But you're in my soul forevermore

It'll be that way forever, forever, forevermore

The marks left by love last forever, forevermore

Even without waiting for the last moment, I can say one thing for certain

"Forevermore"

I love you, I love you. Everything else is just an aside to our story

I love you, I love you. You're the only one I do.

Oh oh, others come and go

But you're in my soul forevermore

It'll be that way forever, forever, forevermore

匆匆忙忙的香港人使用扶手電梯已經習慣左行右站。
不知道從何時開始，鐵路廣播時常呼籲乘客在扶手電梯站穩。
明白安全很重要，港鐵想藉此免責也不難理解。
板主反而覺得重點不在於此。
攜帶行李使用扶手電梯已是司空見慣。
曾經見過一位手無縛雞之力的媽媽連嬰帶車使用扶手電梯，
有一刻懷疑嬰孩是不是她親生的。
還有一個比較極端的例子，
板主曾經見過有位莽夫連長者帶輪椅上扶手電梯。

抗生素與肥胖的關係

"A short-term disruption (by antibiotics) of the gut's microbes can have long-lasting effects on the microbiota's composition. Imagine a virgin rainforest, verdant (青翠嫩綠) and dense with life: insects rule the undergrowth and primates (靈長目動物) hoot (鳴叫) from the canopy (樹冠層). Now see the loggers (伐木工人) move in, chainsawing the forest's leafy infrastructure, established over millennia, and bulldozing (鏟平) the rest. Imagine too a weed invading, perhaps having hitchhiked (搭便車) as a seed on the wheels of the diggers, and then crowding out the natives as it takes hold. The forest will regrow, given time, but it will not be the same pristine (未觸動過的), complex, unspoilt habitat it was before. Diversity will drop. Sensitive species will die out. Invaders will flourish."

"Everybody knew that microbes living in the gut were eating the indigestible parts of the diet, but no one had ever looked into how this second round of digestion contributed to energy intake. With microbes helping them (us) to access more of the calories in their (our) diets, the mice (we) could get by on less food."

"Microbes, both viral and bacterial, are showing us that there is more to obesity than eating too much and moving too little. The energy each of us extracts from our food, and the way in which that energy is used and stored, is intricately (錯綜複雜地) linked with the particular community of microbes we host. If we really want to get to the heart of the obesity epidemic, we need to look inward to the microbiota and ask what we are doing to alter the dynamic that they established with the human body in its leanest, healthiest form."

細時玩三國志

曹操相校袁紹，名望低而兵勢弱，但曹操卻能打敗袁紹，轉弱為強，這不僅是時機有利，而且也是靠人的智謀。現在曹操已擁兵百萬，挾持天子以號令諸侯，這確實是不能和他較量。孫權佔據江東，已經歷三代之久，地勢險要，民心歸附，賢能之士都願意為他效力，只能把他作為外援，而不能謀取。

曹操比於袁紹，則名微而眾寡，然操遂能克紹，以弱為強者，非惟天時，抑亦人謀也。今操已擁百萬之眾，挾天子而令諸侯，此誠不可與爭鋒。孫權據有江東，已歷三世，國險而民附，賢能為之用，此可以為援而不可圖也。

困擾

今日去覆診兼抽血，主要驗 serum sodium valproate level.
醫院順道替我驗了 blood potassium level.
下午姑娘致電說我鉀高。
我明鉀高可以很嚴重，我真的明白。
但其實已經不是第一次。
上次是去急症室覆驗。
上次覆驗是正常水平LOL，真係唔知好嬲定好笑。
明天是去門診覆驗鉀水平。
如果結果一樣，會點?!
因為返半日工沒錢收，今天請了一日病假。
明天又要請半日，之後要返回工作崗位。
如果結果一樣，會點……
