《奇洛李維斯話你知：薄餅應否配菠蘿？》

奇洛李維斯與劉青雲一樣，經常被網友強塞金句進嘴巴，借用他們肖像，化身人生哲理代言人。

不過奇洛本身的確很有禪味，本身是虔誠天主教徒的名嘴主持史提芬高拔2019年於清談節目與他談論電影角色的死亡時，突然話鋒一轉，問他一條宗教問題：「你認為我們死後會發生甚麼事，奇洛李維斯？」觀眾意料不及，紛紛大笑起來。

奇洛卻認真地想了一想，呼出一口氣才說：「我知道那些愛我們的人，會想念我們。」主持與觀眾都被這個答案折服了。

那些渲染奇洛悲劇人生的農場式影片與文章，相信大家也看過，奇洛會思考人生八苦之一的「愛別離」，不難理解。

還有另一條千古疑難，奇洛也提供過解答。

他2017年宣傳《殺神John Wick 2》時，舉行過Twitter網友問答大會，拍片回答問題。其中有網友問他：「薄餅應否配菠蘿？」

眾所周知，加入菠蘿的「夏威夷薄餅」，不屬於意大利菜玄門正宗，據稱是由一名加拿大廚師受中國菜的咕嚕肉啟發而創，名字則來自他所用的罐頭菠蘿品牌。意大利人普遍對薄餅配菠蘿恨之入骨，自命是美食家的人也對它嗤之以鼻。

奇洛如何回答呢？

「啊……是那條『薄餅應否配菠蘿』的偉大問題。答案真的大概因人而異，因為有些人喜歡薄餅配菠蘿，而其他人不喜歡薄餅配菠蘿。」

說到這兒，奇洛將臉貼近鏡頭，故作凝重。

「我不喜歡薄餅配菠蘿……但有時候我也喜歡。」

現場工作人員都被他逗笑了。其實奇洛是一個很幽默的人，並非永遠是坐在公園長椅上孤獨食包那副樣子。

奇洛輕描淡寫，便化解了圍繞薄餅的仇恨與紛爭。

世上很多新事物，都是變奏而來，有機會吸引一班新捧場客。重點是，薄餅配菠蘿，並無取代「正版」的薄餅，大家可以各適其適，百花齊放。

喜好是很個人的，不是所有東西非要分個高下不可。急著跳出來踩低別人，只為滿足自己的虛榮心，到頭來只是虛妄，何必呢？

遲到的分享，這是去年十一月Mezco Toyz官網限定發售。

還記得Mezco剛加入1/12戰場時，大家都稱這廠牌「螞蟻」，因為他們的商標就是一個螞蟻頭。

但後來有人說這商標明明就是蟑螂，我還看過一篇文章把各種蟑螂和螞蟻的頭部照片拿來比較，用以證實商標的確是蟑螂，我明明是在逛玩具論壇還看到這麼學術性的文章ＸＤ

Mezco Toyz 官方自己出來說明了，自己的商標吉祥物的確是蟑螂，這問題就算解決了。

但現在還有些人會稱這牌子「螞蟻」，他們的吉祥物「螞蟻人」，有機會還是要撥亂反正，幫他們正名。

今天分享的造型是浪人武士，不過真的不能再稱「浪人蟻」、「武士蟻」了，之前商品都是打上「Gomez」，這是吉祥物的名字，也沒跟你說他到底是什麼，大家搞混就算了。但這次很明顯的標出名稱「Lone Roach」，已經明明白白說是蟑螂了，大家就別再搞錯了。

不意外又是Mezco金標，他們這招真的玩上癮，最近的金西裝還有金忍者我都不跟了。Mezco最近在國外玩具論壇真的把大家惹毛了，噁心的販售方式、John Wick還搞砸，到處罵聲一片。

我自己的想法是，Mezco的確有很多好東西，但動不動就金標限定這點，真的玩到很反感，偶爾幾款限定我能理解，但這樣玩只會讓玩家感到心涼。

扯太遠了，回歸玩具本身。

以下簡評。

優點：
1、這次的配件，雖然沒有其他Gomez多，但造型絕對是最有特色的，在服裝部分也是最用心。特別是羽織，袖口和胸口的波浪紋，加上背面的骷髏，存在感超強。雖然把羽織脫下，整體配色偏素，但服裝細節卻是一點也沒少，非常有質感。

2、雖然配件量不是最多，但很有特色，Gomez都會配的斜背彎刀，Lone Roach的刀鞘和刀柄都有增加細部塗裝。另外旗幟可插上背包，還有一隻小的Gomez「Grub」可以放入背包。最讓人驚艷的是滑板，其他Gomez的滑板都是很簡單的配色，但Lone Roach的板身居然有日本浮世繪畫家葛飾北齋的著名木版畫《神奈川沖浪裏》，雖然因為板身的長度，畫作本身長寬被稍微壓縮，但還是不減初見的驚訝以及畫作本身的魄力。

缺點：
1、玩具本身沒有問題，但卻有個比玩具沒做好更嚴重的問題。三顆頭雕中，有一個正面使用「旭日旗」的圖案，雖然光芒數和正規旭日旗不同，但明眼人一看就知道是有意為之。旭日旗曾經是舊日本軍的旗幟，但因為日軍在二戰的暴行，使得這個旗幟充滿冒犯和挑釁意味。相關問題和爭議網路上很多文獻可以參考，這邊就不贅述了。所以Mezco Toyz使用這個圖案，確實不太妥當，雖然武士文化和日本息息相關，但也不是隨便用個旭日旗就好，應該對圖像所象徵的意義更敏感一些。（但對於這問題我研究一下，發現歐美比較不在意這問題，可能是因為當初日軍在亞洲肆虐，相較之下對歐美的波及較小，如果換成卐，應該就換他們炸了。）

除了對圖像意義的不敏感，以及噁心限定，這次Lone Roach沒有什麼問題。

但如果他們再這樣搞下去，我相信買單的人會越來越少。

说一说…..小黄花

多年前，我和朋友到云南旅行。
一个晴朗的下午，我们的车子开在一条马路上，两边尽是一望无际青翠的草原，厚实的云层低得让你以为只要用力踮脚伸腰就触手可及，而穿过云层洒在青草上的是神圣的耶稣光……好美好美。
我忍不住请司机大哥在路边停车，跑到草原上拍照。
我顺着耶稣光的方向走去，绿油油的草原间，长满了一朵朵闪耀的小黄花。
我把长镜头对准其中一朵小黄花，想把它在阳光下的灿烂留住。

仔细一看，刹时一阵深深的感动。
这朵小黄花的花瓣是心形的，镜头里的它好像在跟我说“我爱你”。
也许是它把我召唤到这里，让我们相遇，然后把一份强大的爱赐予我。

2007年，在好友采妮（杨采妮）的发起下，我和Gigi（梁咏琪），秀秀（许茹芸）决定成立一个儿童慈善教育基金会。
为基金会取名时，我想起了那朵充满爱的小黄花，提议了小黄花这个名字。
小黄花是野花，它在艰难的环境下成长，经历日晒雨淋，暴风吹打，却勇敢接受磨练，长得越来越粗壮，最后终于开出了灿烂的小黄花，散发着属于它的光芒。
这个精神正可以用来鼓励贫穷家庭的孩子，而我们可以透过基金会的角色，把我们的爱变成滋养他们的土地和阳光。
决定了这个名字后，我把小黄花的照片递给女儿，当时八岁的她就画了今天大家所看到的小黄花标志。

2008年，回归家乡，2010年年底，进入贫民区开始提供免费午餐，2012年正式注册。

十年，从贫民窟的免费午餐计划……至今天两间中心“小黄花乐园”，照顾上百位贫穷家庭的孩子，提供他们免费营养午餐，教育，课外活动，未来规划…..至疫情管制令期间购买医疗防护用品捐赠医院，提供六百多个贫穷家庭粮食….，这一路沿着初心走来，所有参与小黄花慈善教育基金会的工作者，无不深深地感受爱的力量。

这些孩子照亮了我们内心的慈悲，让我们发现原来爱才是真正让我们变得强大的养分，而这份强大不强势，不咄咄逼人，不傲气，而是一份非常温柔和温暖的强大。

多年前，阅读了特丽莎修女的传记。
她一生的全部财产就是一尊耶稣像，三套衣服和一双凉鞋，她为印度数不尽的贫穷家庭和快要死亡的穷人服务。
她把一生都奉献给贫穷人们，让他们受到尊重，关怀和爱。

她说：
爱自己，爱他人，爱生命里一切需要爱的事物，不要任何理由。
哪怕生命微小到只是一根细小的灯芯，燃烧了，就能照亮自己，也能照亮他人。
甚至，你还可以尝试去照亮一个世界。
每次回顾特丽莎修女的事迹或是她的语录，简单的几句话，就能让我轻易感动至眼眶泛泪。

十年，从当初“一定要喂饱孩子”的初心出发，到今日得以结合大众的力量一起关爱更多的贫穷家庭，心里尽是感恩，感恩再感恩。

很多人都觉得做慈善机构很难，很难在现今追求名利的社会里找到志同道合的伙伴。
但这十年里，从事这份慈善工作，我一直都遇见了许多非常伟大，善良的同伴，更因为这份工作而结交了许多以前身为艺人没有机会接触在各个领域已很经成功，还致力从事慈善工作的人们，让我感受到了这个社会里非常强大和温暖的力量。

因为一份关爱，打开了我的心，我的眼睛，甚至我的整个世界。

行动管制令期间，因为募款的款项非常踊跃，于是小黄花的五位员工异常忙碌。
她们每天忙于接收善款，处理捐款的文件工作，回复捐助者的讯息，定期向大众更新最新的善款运用详情，致电关心各方提供的本地贫穷家庭，难民，外籍工作者的状况，安排食物订购和运送，处理医疗防护用品的订购事宜，行动管制令开始放宽后，就忙于探访特殊案例家庭和老人院，做进一步的了解，以便能提供他们更长远的援助。

她们很忙，很累，但她们说“内心很感动，从来没想过自己有一天竟然在国家陷入困境时，与许多素未谋面的善心人士一起，帮助那么多在这片土地生活的人们。”

我很爱很爱我的伙伴们，因为她们的加入，让这份工作得以持续下去，还不停成长。
因为她们的付出，让更多的贫穷人们得到关爱。

特丽莎修女虽然已经离开人世，但她的精神和能量还在发挥着强大的影响和指引。
而还在人世间的我们，也许可以就如她说的：
我们当中极少数人能做伟大的事情，但每一个人都可以用崇高的爱去做平凡的事。
Few of us can do great things, but all of us can do small things with great love.

P/S:
1) 感谢所有在疫情期间帮助我们的义工。
2) 小黄花教育基金会聘请新员工，如果你有兴趣可以联络我们 (017-384 4123)。 (只限女性) 😊


Let’s talk about….. Little Yellow Flower

Many years back, I went to Yunnan with my friend. It was a sunny afternoon. Our car was driving along the road, both sides covered in vast fresh and green grassland. The heavy clouds were hanging so low that you will feel as though as it is within reach just by stretching out your hands while tip-toeing. Also, passing through the clouds, were the divine looking crepuscular rays sprinkling over the grasses…. It was really, really beautiful and magnificent.

I just could not help it but to request for the chauffeur to pull up by the roadside, running into the grassland to take a picture. I walked and followed the ray’s directions in the lush green grassland towards a spot where there were just many small little radiant looking yellow flowers. I pointed the long camera lens towards one of the little yellow flower, wanting to keep its brilliances while under the sunshine.

Taking a closer look at the flower, I was suddenly deeply moved. The petals of this little yellow flower are heart-shaped. It seems to be saying “I Love You” to me through the camera lens. Perhaps it was the one who is calling me, letting us meet and bestowing me a sense of powerful love.

In the year 2007, with the initiative from Charlie Young, who is one of my best friends, and together with Gigi Leung and Valen Hsu, we decided to set up an education charity Foundation for the children.

When we were naming the Foundation, I thought of the little yellow flower which was full of love and proposed to use “Little Yellow Flower” as the name of the Foundation.

The little yellow flower is a flower which grows in the wilderness. It has to grow under the harsh environment, experiencing the beating weather like the scorching hot sun, drenching under the rain and bracing itself in the forceful windy storms. Yet it endures and accepts it bravely, growing into a splendid looking little yellow flower, shining radiantly and brightly.

This spirit can be used to encourage the children of poor families and communities. Through the Foundation, it enables us to transmit our love to nourish their soul and become their sunshine.

After deciding to use this name, I gave this picture to my daughter and the Little Yellow Flower logo which you all see today is actually drawn by her who was only 8 years old at that time.

Year 2008, I returned to my homeland. End of 2010, we started to provide free lunch for the children in the slum area and in 2012, we are registered formally in Malaysia.

10 years… from providing free lunch program in the slum areas, and now at present, we have 2 centers known as “Little Yellow Flower Wonderland”; Taking care of more than one hundred children from poor families, providing them free nutritious lunch, education, extra curriculums, fun learning and future planning…..During this pandemic and Movement Control Order period, we have purchased, donated Personal Protection Equipment and goods which are medically treated to the hospitals and also provided essential needs and food for over 600 poor families and individuals.
During this journey, with the original intention of the Foundation, all the staffs in Little Yellow Flower Education Foundation, sensed the deep power of love.

These children have lighten up our innermost compassion, allowing us to realize that love is the nutrient that makes us more powerful. However, this strength is not intensive, not aggressive, not arrogant but rather one that is much gentler, tender and warm.

I have read Mother Teresa’s biography many years ago. Throughout her life, her entire assets consist of only a Jesus statue, 3 sets of clothes and a pair of sandals. She served countless numbers of the poor and cared for the sick who are at the brink of death in India. She devoted her life to the poor, allowing them to be respected, cared for and loved.

She has said: “Love yourself, Love others, Love everything in life that needs to be loved. Even if life is as tiny as a wick, when ignited, it is able to illuminate oneself and also others. So much so that you may even try to light up the whole world.”
The corners of my eyes would easily tear up whenever I look back at Mother Teresa’s achievements or quotes, even though it is just those few simple words.
With the intention of “Must feed these children” from 10 years ago up to today, to be able to combine the strength from the public together to care for these poor, I am forever, over and over again filled with gratefulness.
Many people think that to serve in charitable work is very difficult. Difficult to find like-minded partners in this modern society where it is all about fame and profit. But during these 10 years, ever since engaging in this charitable work, I have met many great and kind-hearted people. It is also because of this work, I am able to meet up with a lot of successful people from various industries (people who are not in the entertainment industry). These people are also actively involved and committed in charitable work. This reminded and gave me a great sense of energy, strength and warmth still exists in the society.
Because of this care and love, it has opened up my mind, heart, eyes and my whole world.
During the Movement Control Order, due to the enormous responses from the fundraising event, all the 5 staffs in Little Yellow Flower were extremely busy.
Every day, they are busy receiving donation, processing documents, responding to the donors’ messages, regularly updating the public about the funds raised and used, finding out about the condition and needs of our local poor families, refugees and migrant workers. Making orders, preparing and delivering out essentials and food to these families in need, handling orders and making arrangements for the medical personal protection equipment.
When the Movement Control Order restrictions were relaxed, they are now busy with visitations to households of special cases and nursing homes to further understand their situation, to be able to provide them long-term support.
They are awfully busy and very tired but they told me this: “We are deeply moved. Never have we thought that there will be a day when the country would be in difficulties and we would be heavily involved, working together with so many kind people whom we have never met before to provide assistance to the people living on the same land as us.”
I love my workmates very, very much. This work is able to continuously grow and develop because of their participation. It is because of their efforts, more poor people are being cared for.
Although Mother Teresa has left this earthly world, her spirit and energy is still exerting powerful influences and guidance. To those of us who are still in this secular world, as she has said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
P/S:
A) Thank you very much to all volunteers who have helped out during this period of time.
