久別重逢

You are who You were.

怎麼樣

I AM HERE

you will suffer no more

他往我這岸漂來
身上滿載的是風采
不見他手中的舵
只見他的驕傲和自在自在的
就像是為我而來
他往這一邊開來
幸福從他手中張開
不見他手中的舵
就像他的來
是為我而來
我跳上他的船
開始了沒有忽高忽低卻溫暖的精采
那原來都是他把春天藏在從未打開的口袋
我愛上他的愛
原以為失去擁抱的心終究不能慷慨
那原來只是冬天的冰冷
借住在我心中的殘骸

同妳竟可這麼近同時那麼遠

唔放呀

前後兩次別離
今次大家都忍不住

感情不知不覺地深厚了
誰願放手

縱使妹妹的事有點掃興
但更顯我們之珍貴

點都唔放呀

先生貴性

我是一個先生
我又是一個先生的男朋友
所以
先生就是先生的男朋友

嘩好亂呀~

台北CITY

我也想跟妳過去~

男子組

「總是找不到生活的意義」朋友R說。

對於「女人是on9」的信念，他比我還要強得多。

我有何心德？
沒有哩，女朋友是個撲朔迷離的人
但至少我懂欣賞

我篤信緣份。

世上之最迷人

咀巴

鼻樑

眼神

耳珠

做了二十多年人，最終大學畢業。

媽媽您睇下，您個仔港大畢業呀 ~

莫待無花

不時回想以前
能夠為自己在手足無措底下
找到新的方向

真可惜
它最終都抵擋不住寒風
送我的花兒也落了
雖然它還來不及開花

失常

連續很多天都睡眠不足

有沒有右手輕了的感覺？

說芝士

而我的眼淺
只因覺得幸福
我期求的不多
只想見妳笑

我的膊頭 讓妳依靠

Element of Sustainable Love

Another-Me in the World & I basically agree that Elements involve:

-Agreement for Future
-Respect
-Trust
-Concern & Understanding
-Communication
-Sensibility
-Knownledge about Yourself

It is a game involving two players, both of whom have to contribute reasonable amounts of effort to work for the relation. But while it may get harder when more & more have to be done, don't think it is discouraging or you are not going to make it. Try to enjoy doing things for who always deserve & may appreciate it.

I am afraid of challenge after all, but I believe that we are going to make it.

幼稚戀

雖然情侶不同的組合會有不同的相處方式
但對身邊同事的個案的確感到無奈

私下看對方的email、夜晚OT到11點亦不准對方和異性同事坐的士回家而要坐巴士、要對方用公司電話來聯絡來證明還在公司、查看對方電話記錄 ......

誰理會你怎樣關心緊張對方？做出以上行為，只可以反映到的是 --- 不相信對方

那麼，你現在正在跟一個不信任您或不值得你信任的人談戀愛
但仍能有溫馨幸福的感覺
佩服

第一次共度生日

大家都倦了
但很滿足

禮物帶來的效果也不錯
雖遠不及妳那一份般有意思
但妳喜歡就好了

蛋糕吃下很甜
入口愛情
果然甜蜜蜜

還有......
魚網

傷瞳

中午十二點起床
連掙開雙眼都有點困難
媽媽看見我
就說：「怎麼睡得雙眼都腫起來了？」

都是沾濕了枕頭的關係 ...

for will 綿綿.mp3

for Will ...
不要再怕

有我伴妳哭
有我與妳綿綿
有我以生相許

有我。

大無謂精神

每次到重要關頭靈感便來
雖然有快感
但一個人
閉門造車
還是有點欠缺

我忙得要發瘋了

請見諒 ......

看來要破十月的紀錄
而然
公司有新消息
還不知是好是壞

今天在辦工室和同事共晉午餐
同事S是半個漁民
談起小時家有隻漁船，不時出海 ...

同事B說：「咁你咪好有錢？」
同事S說：「點解有錢？」
同事B說：「你有成條船喎！」
同事S說：「.............」
我說：「咁我最有錢啦~」

我約她去迪士尼

清涼的天氣
去迪士尼便最好不過了

可能一直期望太多
迪士尼的環境還不及想像中的好
地方的確小了一點

不過
醉翁之意依然不在酒
一路上執著手走
擁著相對
已很足夠

回來
妹妹嚷著要看相
當中也有些頗有味道的相片

妹妹在她的xanga說 ：
有位心理學家曾寫道，一個成熟稱得上真愛的戀情，必須經過四個階段，那就是：共存,反依賴,獨立&共生階段之間轉換所需的時間不一定，因人而易。
第一個階段：共存。這是熱戀時期，情人不論何時何地總希望能膩在一起。
第二個階段：反依賴。等到情感穩定後，至少會有一方想要有多一點自己的時間作自己想做的事，這時另一方就會感到被冷落。
第三個階段：獨立。這是第二個階段的延續，要求更多獨立自主的時間。
第四個階段：共生。這時新的相處之道已經成形，你（妳）的他（她）已經成為你(妳）最親的人。　你們在一起相互扶持、一起開創屬於你們自己的人生。你們在一起不會互相牽制，而會互相成長。

很想與妳共生 ......

一年之計在於冬

冬天終於都來臨了
我愛冬天
因為令我更能感受到戀愛的溫暖
暖在心
使心動

6321

敦民樓的保安系統密碼將於2005年11月24日(星期四)下午2時正更改為6321。

小風波

今天辦公室的男生都人心惶惶
事關索妮拉小姐突然發難
我被罵慣
當耳邊風自然沒有問題
新同事都啼笑皆非
一臉罔然
我們胸襟廣闊
不跟細路女計較

這兩天工作比較輕鬆
私人時間多了
反而有空虛的感覺
一個一個人的人是活不下去的

心情緊張

心情很緊張...


看看手錶
經已是七點鐘了
但手上還有工作要做

心中急得很
越急
出錯便越多
越錯便越急

不行
真的要走了
還是留給明天吧
馬上把電腦shut down

忽然送上一片同事的生日蛋糕
不吃就是不給人家面子
於是用不上五秒把蛋糕鯨吞
連叉子都不需要了

糟糕
上星期五的飯盒還在雪櫃
盒中的飯菜相信己經變壞
當然要倒
但沒時間了
回家倒吧
整個冰凍的飯盒放進背包

叫道：
「彪，快走！」
一手拉起身邊的同事朋友
轉身便走

腳步又急又快
升降機來得正好
關門鈕按個不停

地鐵好像跑得很慢
開快點呀司機

跑到朗豪芳
見到我們的kenix姐
在自彈自唱
達成目的了

但知道嗎？
對我來說
看kenix表演
純粹是手段
令我達到多見妳一面的目的...

每次見面之前
總是深情緊張

緊張

很怕
怕失去任何與妳有關的東西
今次幸保不失

自然
最怕失去的還是妳 ......

伙伴

一起努力，早點下班！

魔戒

不太大也不太小
像度身訂做一樣
但要除下亦算不上很困難

然而
一戴上
我就一直戴下去

直至 ......
有一天
我們要「戴」上一個怎麼也除不下的

我也想過

坐在地鐵月台看書也不錯。

glamour girl

震動人心的旋律，原來是出自 hyde 手 ......
娜娜這角色，亦帶有幾分妳的影子；
最後，仍是女孩子一個；
然而，
man、wild、正義，這類形容詞，
均能在妳身上找到。

so glamorous~

世上只有

邊有媽媽幫個仔買d咁o既野架 ?!

兩天

剛剛才為意到我倆妹妹的生日是那麼的接近。

抽刀斷水

公司像戰場一樣，是忙，但亦很刺激，刺激得人也發呆了。

坐下來，想想妳。

忽然記起，
於是聞一聞身上的風褸。

果然，
充滿了妳的氣味。

結果，
更想妳。

分手等於得救

the very motto for glambers' mates ......

背脊 ......

很痛！

clerks呀！救救我吧！

我只想

身體健康

哥哥

今集是《二人世界 之 煮飯仔篇》

將來，我倆會有自己的地方、自己的傢俱、自己的 ...... 一切一切。

有一天，我倆也有。

please don't hesitate to let me know.

cus it means a lot to me, and to us

唯一

對於「情意結」的問題，的確沒有想過

但沒有想過的原因，我則很清楚

而且信念很強：
對，哪有下一個！

可能性只有二：
1)最後一個
2)唯一一個

但願是後者
「確定~ 你就是我的唯一」

1. RoHS

我怎麼也想不到

原來 ...... 自己一生出來，

就注定碰上我一人中所見到最無葯可救的人。

我最愛的兩個人，

但願不久的將來，我有能力帶妳們離開。

現在，我不是為自己，

而是為了另外三個女人而活。

屈機

屈機是格鬥game的專有名詞，指一方不斷重複以自己最強的一些攻擊去克制對手，以至對手全無反擊之力 (quoted from 朋友 R)

但屈機廣義上可用於人與人身上

在上的一方以自己的一套思想和信念，直接或間接抑制在下的另一方的行為，令對方的身心都有違個人的思維。

問題在於每個人都想法和價值觀都不同，故此屈機是不人道的。

奇怪在實際上根本沒有人有資格屈機，但往往有不少人被屈。

該感到幸運吧屈機的人，有個字救了你們，不然你們大多早就後悔莫及了。

人

我亦只係人一個

人生的意義

我現在的生活，完全違背了從小到大的志向

但我都逆來順受

因為我已找到新的人生意義

憧憬

我對事業前景的最大期望就是：

不用搭的士回家 ......

終於

晚上十二點回到家，一打開門，妹妹就對我說：

「哥哥你終於都番黎拿」

被遺忘的時光

今天照樣要加班，早上九點一直至晚上十點。計一計，每天有一半的時間與同事在一起，幸好他們都是很容易相信的人，大家都是好朋友，感覺和每天回校上學差不多，是種久違了的感覺。

十點幾才回到家，大步急腳的走，令背脊都濕透了。大家在等我食飯。

為甚麼還要等我？

大汗淋漓地踩進家，才醒覺今日天老豆的生日。怪不得。

老豆真的變老喇 ...... 沒有以往那樣跳皮，人都靜了下來。

去年煙花特別多，多次忘記老豆的生日，今年最有慚愧的感覺。

是真的。

我家的傳統照舊，由媽媽替老豆封利是給我們，但今年有點不同。

每年利是都是準備兩封，一封給我，一封給妹丁。

今年有三封 ~

這就叫地位。

循環

五日半個人的忙錄，然後又是一天半兩個人的浪漫遊閒

相信日子在短期內會不斷作這樣的循環

但循環亦意味著穩定的生活

是個幸福的保障

所以，為己為人，要努力地工作下去

不過，工作可許奪去我八成的時間、空間和精神

也許，有時會把一些重要的都忽略了

請見諒 ......

天天努力

DAY 100

我真的咳嗽了，但這叫做甘苦與共。

DIU

office 是我家，OT齊齊加

One Another

錫晒您

Programme Support Coordinator

今日第一日番工，一開始發現原來並非同 nancy 同層，或多或少點都會有D可惜，不過一見到D同事就安心番晒。

一開波就有個 ok cutie o既女同事帶我見其它人，其中有個女仔超級無敵地似盧巧音，又係叫 candy，一個少女版既 candy！原來公司之所以請我就係因為佢下星期要走，好可惜呢！ >_< 然後發現有位同事原來都只係禽日先番工，都係 freshgrad，我同佢都幾岩傾，有講有笑，總算有個人同我o係公司雙依為命。

今日主要係由一個亦都就黎要走既同事指導我地兩個新丁去用暴力打爆d 電器，分解佢地，list出有d咩components，然後 report 番比client聽，睇下佢地做唔做 testing。

anyway，都幾滿意呢份工作；

不過，令我最恐懼既，就係 OT 時間，一黎冇補水， 二黎唔知去到幾點 ...... 我既私人時間呀 !!!

難怪人事部要 keep 住 in 人啦~~~

Get Offer

finally i get offer from a company where connie and nancy are engaged on. after this period of job hunting, i found it is much harder to find a job on my own than i expected beforehand. after all i got it not by myself but counting on nancy - who has been around me since junior form in the college, to the university, and to the working place at last.

thanks anyway.

yes, eventually i could escape from the pool of unemployment. i hope i will enjoy me job, at least not hate it...

時機成熟

有一天，
五歲的小聰走到四歲的小旋面前，
親了她一下，
小旋問：「你是不是認真的呀？」
小聰說：「當然啦，我們己經不是三歲細路哥了！」

大雄寶殿

下午痴漢彪來我家，與我合作打爆《范特西4》，剛好在歸還PS2前完成。

晚上約了佛教大雄的同學，一共六人出席，包括：
黃泯峰、鬈毛、臭倫、家爾、國敏、梁正

短短兩個幾鐘的聚會，充斥住爆笑場面。不論沒見多久，好朋友始終是好朋友嘛。

順帶一提，他們沒有一個不是賤人，畢竟大家都是一丘之貉吧！

一支煙的時間

用了一支煙的時間掛念誰
浪費了幾分鐘的感情
計算得到還未算太累
而你似看穿我扮強悍
笑我姿勢未純熟
吸了煙呼出眼淚

uncountable

i reiterate that there is nothing countable between the two of us, especially those things which i don't care but are spent on something or for someone i really care.

this is not quite understandable in meaning again,

but got it anyway, please.

CARE

"care" 是關心關注的意思

例句：

I care about Chuchu much more that the failure in today's interview.

ChuChu has always been taken cared of. She is fortunate regardless.

We care.

自己的怪癖

我也來玩玩這個

1. 食完早餐先刷牙洗面，間唔中食完仲唔記得添。

2. 一個人在深夜床上很容易會流眼水。

3. 傷風時鐘意由得d鼻涕一直流到落咀唇邊先抹，又會用手指尾捲起d鼻涕。

4. 超級無敵鐘意照鏡，even行街時會用停迫o係身邊o既車既玻璃倒影當鏡咁照。

5. 鐘意摸同性朋友的大比。

死未

分泌

這是重要的、有意思的日子。

記憶往往會是螢光和打星。

但願我們的日子裏，佈滿螢火虫和小星星。

這福氣來日全部回贈妳。

from a Book

No One Can Predict
Or Control The Future.

However, The More Clearly You
Imagine
What You Want To See Happen,

Plan For It,

And Do Something Today
To Help It Happen,

The Less Anxious You Are
In The Present,

And The More The Future
Is Known To You

(cited from "The Present")

actually, that's the way i have been making effort for the relationship between us ......

i quit

新生活，無束縛

無所事事地搵工作，總希望 ... 生活靜靜似是湖水，全因為妳，泛起生氣。

亞 will 和平

明天將會是我最後一天在 office 做我的「義工」，是時候為自己爭取權利和向不公義的對待 "say no"。實在是太過份了，身邊的人也有點看不過眼吧！

「呢個世界唔應該係咁o既 .... 做人，唔應該係咁o既 ......」對！

他所謂的做人的道理，對我來說太膚淺了，亦太沒有說服力了，至今還未有人有資格擺著姿勢向我說教。重申，我有我的思維空間。

另外，我也應該積極點，為我倆的將來著想。

p.s. 言論自由，使「談情」的「談」字，顯得格外有意思。

FOCUS

it is the day of FOCUS, followed by a smoke screen in between the ocean waves as well as soap bubbles.

I am from BOTH Mars and Venus

yes, actually i was annoyed by my career in the near future very much, which in turn may more or less affect the life of us, about which i am only concerned.

that is OK. and every single word from u help comfort me a great deal...... help me back out of the cave.

i am sad.

i find myself very frustrated.

錢, 並不是搵得多不多的問題, 而是夠不夠的問題;

錢夠不夠, 完全在乎自己用多少

如要依靠物質才能令人生快樂, 的確可悲的很...... 世上總有愛吧

手中拿著LV袋在埋怨不夠錢花, 把飯叫飢, 這些人該死。

好眼訓呀喵~

說出口

換來一句很窩心的「好幸福」......

嗯，我們真的幸福了。

that's why i say HK girls are on9

來源︰東Touch (28June05) 肥仔聰 (林子聰)訪問內容︰ 港女唔多掂! 　　正如肥仔聰所講，第一次做導演當然唔熟唔做，所以他會開拍一部諷刺香港女仔的「得閒飲茶」，整個故事是源自身邊一個好朋友的真人真事。　　「她是我一個好好的女性朋友，由拍拖，嗌交，結婚，離婚我都一清二楚，直以來她都抱住一個心態，覺得老公娶到自己是執到，最弊佢又唔係靚到可以用執到來形容呢? 這個問題我多年來都有同佢講，不過佢點都唔聽，去到前年佢老公終於頂唔順要求離婚，當時她才醒覺自己錯了，非常後悔，但一切太遲了。 其實這不是一個女人的問題，而是屬於香港所有女人。早前「Playboy」雜誌有個調查，從８萬名亞洲男士眼中選出各地女性的排名，結果香港女性並不優秀，樣貌，身材，性格，溫柔，情趣等各方面的評分都很低，徘徊在下游位置，其中樣貌排尾二，僅僅勝過菲律賓，身材亦只嬴南亞國家。身邊男人講你唔信，今次由８萬幾個男人一齊講，你點都要信些少? 香港女性根本沒有你們所想那麼高質素! 你或者會反駁日本，韓國女仔靚咩? 整容之嘛。係呀，人地肯整喎，你有冇呢份自知之明呢?」

the Responsibility i can't take

A couple of days before, i went to the VCD shop in the shopping mall nearby, to rent a made-in-hk vcd named "2 young", and watched during having dinner with my family. the movie is touching and concerned with the problem of young people having baby, at a time when they are still not able to sustain their own life, let alone the baby's

the last book i have finished reading is "the curious incident of a dog in the night time". The story is a 1st person one, presented by a teenager with mental problem.

and the book i am reading is called "a man named dave", which in the story a children abused for years by her ferious mother grew up anway and had to face and be accustomed with the real outside world and different kind of people, and most important, the author is trying to show a kind of forgiveness.

well, what i've learn most from all the these is probably the significance of responsibity of being a parent, which seems to be too large for me to take, no matter what, how, when or where.

many people see things simple and easy, but eventualy all those they have done are likely to ruin their and their children's life .

「下？多蚊？一般之嘛。」女途人答道。

「咁平時出要唔要查蚊怕水架？」記者又問。

「要呀！梗係要啦！」on9 女途人答。

結論：而家d女人真係越黎越 on9。

一個月

昨天，一個突然而來的晴天霹靂打破了平靜無聊的下午。
「珠珠不見了！」小船哭著說。
我馬上過去陪她找，告訴自己一定要找得到。我本來亦是愛貓之人，何況是小船的珠珠。還時第一次見她哭，有點手足無措。

幸好，原來困在梳化後面，正傻珠。我和大家都鬆了一大口氣。

今日中午去了小船家，和她一家吃個飯，她妹妹和哥哥也在。第一次見她哥哥，帥得很，對，我一直非常欣賞artist。之後在她家坐了一會，便送她到機場去。在車上，我竟然睡著了，真不好意思。

一個月，說長不長，說短不短；而我暫時又回復一個人的生活。

得著妳回來。

3 days away from the world

we are back. Back to this embarrassing world.

anyway, we had escaped, to a space, which belonged to two of us alone.

no pain, no worry, no trouble ... like the heaven

where we acted like a pair of angels.

思想同步

i agree with u.

孝感動天

昨天和小船在旺角逛，有個十六七歲的男孩子走過來問我們：
「請問好景商場在哪裏？」

我心暗好笑，但亦一時間想不出，我望了望小船，小船對他說：
「對不起，我們不太清楚」

那少年離開，我們在背後偷笑了一回。

但天真可笑的我頓然覺悟，並感到非常慚愧。

沒錯，過幾天便是父親節了 ......

to sustain

"it doesn't hurt." i said.

"nothing will." you replied.

along the curve you design

it is a process to learn sth important;

it is an opportunity to explore myself and the other;

it is a gift for exchange;

it is a new style of life;

it is a kind of sustainable development both of us hope;

it is a little world of harmony;

it is in between love and respect;

it is to boost and enhance the communication;

it is what i called "whirlpool affair",

in which merry goes round and round, and never comes to an end.....

Stabilization

everything seems stabilized and steady.

and there is nothing to worry about.

thank you.

兩個人的幸運

今天當了英雄。

感覺自然得很，因為本來經已是很好的朋友。
生活會出現些甚麼變化？似乎大家都好期待。

愛就像英雄，我始終信緣份。
幸運其實是緣份，對吧？一定對！

(這幾天忙，真討厭！不要見怪。)

與別不同

今天的寫法與別不同，是隨筆形式，隨時隨地的記下所見所想，看看如何。

昨晚沒怎樣睡覺，今天一早便起來，因為要到表哥公司幫手辦點事。有點頭暈眼花呢。頭在轉，感覺很特別，似乎今天的觀察很入微，思想好細膩。

步行去油麻地地鐵站，一直在聽著歌，mp3是阿彪為「估歌仔」遊戲選的歌曲。聽到趙傳，奇怪這人為甚麼會這麼高音；聽到薜海琪的「像個男孩」，覺得她的聲線和歌詞是典型的on9。

途經一間教會，貼著海報，上面寫著「男人 = 難忍」，的確如此，男人是難忍的，但「忍」是動詞，而「難」是「忍」的副詞，會有誰不同意？

入到地鐵，看見一張張《頭文字D》的海報。我最喜歡余文樂的做型，最有味道。落扶手電梯時，眼前有張旋渦廣告，開始又是終結，又是開始，可圈亦可點。這時，在聽的是「抬頭吧，黑暗過會是晨曦，懷著樂觀總有轉機」，是我喜愛的eason。

入到車箱，人不多，感覺有點疏離，真的只要六個人就能連起來嗎？現在還是我第一次聽原裝的《愛我別走》，他的聲線真可愛。

到了表哥公司，見到他染了啡色頭髮，而我則一頭烏黑的短髮，真是個奇觀。他說他老闆頗迷信，認為姓梁的會旺自己，嘿，哪麼不知那個姓氏旺我呢？

我現在要到銅鑼灣換單。又坐地鐵了，不知為何，我入的那格車箱一地都是奶，真有趣，誰斗膽在地鐵湯奶？我也愛喝奶，尤其朱古力奶，可許以形補形，可以令皮膚黑點吧，但怎麼喝也不會高。又見到幾個印度人，幻想把他們逐一引爆。

我不停地翻閱貓貓organizer，拿在手中很緊張，出入車箱時握得特別緊，不能再違失了，我太愛這貓貓記事本。

現在企我對面的是個妙齡少女，咀嚼著看口膠，妙嘴妙舌，死八婆，還不知我正在寫她。寫隨筆邊寫邊記真過癮。突然看見有人拿在一份寫著「基因決定女性高潮」，嗯，原來如此。

回旺角時，又見一個印度人，一個黑眼圈比我愛羅還要利害的女人，她瞪了我一眼，我馬上打了個冷震，我從未見過那麼可怕的眼神，很深寒。

回旺角其實是開會，又見到大佬、阿興和henry了。但我只在睡，真的很累很累。

要睡了。

石破天驚

愛就像英雄，莫問出處；
但敢恨不敢愛，就是懦夫；
拿好朋友作賭注，能會是個好人嗎？

做個壞英雄，還是做個好懦夫？

這樣想，on9嗎？

can merry go round like that?

This is Life

在這一刻的我，非常疲倦，頭在轉呀轉，但可能也是內心最真實的一時間，所以來寫一寫。

昨晚，畢業晚宴在興高采烈的歡呼聲中結束，二十多人出席，大家對其安排都感都頗滿意。我year1時一直以「ENS狂熱份子」自稱，對搞班會活動不違餘力。但隨日子的過去，那股熱情漸漸退減，可以算是退了休。ENS三年的無比快樂的生活經已完結，大家各散東西。每一班都會有小圈子的出現，不可能絕對團結，而我非常高興我有一個可以容納我的生活圈子，多謝圈友們。我自問有點古怪，和其它人很不同，小圈子有時不能把我鎖死，我自己會偷偷地建出兩三條小橋，希望可以擴闊我的思維空間。結果，我有不小好朋友。

畢業晚宴可算時最後的一個正式的班會活動，老豬叫我幫手，最後一個，意義重大，自然義不容辭。我找了幾個可靠的人幫手，多謝大佬們。雖然時間的安排有點問題，但整體而言是不錯的。大家開心就夠了。

晚宴過後，我和一些人去了酒吧。這是我第一次踩進酒吧。酒吧的環境很好，很適合我，但在這環境底下，我通常都不愛說話，更討厭大笑大喝。起初坐的地方太狹窄，頗不舒服，而換個位置後感覺好得多，開始可以享受當地的氣氛。不想其它人在我耳邊大叫大嚷。

我喝的不是啤酒，是檸樂，一杯充滿煙草味道的檸樂。

Juno第二朝早就離開香港了，我很喜歡這個男人，但一直和他不多說話，大概是因為沒這個必要，因為我倆完全明白對方所想。我和他談了幾句，不知為何，千絲萬縷，有點想流淚。祝你一路順風。

我和小船坐一旁，大家都累了，只在談談情，像是冷眼看在云云眾生在醉生夢死，紙醉金迷。不想迷迷糊糊，只要簡簡單單…… 到底是誰在吞吐誰的雲霧都不要緊了。四周很吵，但內心好寧靜，好舒服 …… 時間可以停留嗎？

小休一下，唱一陣子歌，談一談情，時間就是這樣度過。

二時三十分，大家嚷著要走。真的要走麼？

大家都在談論回家的方法，在這時份，可憐的小船看來有家歸不得。
「到我那裏。」，似乎她不介意。
這是史無前例呢，她就是首個幸運兒。

四點了，安頓好客人和一切，便倒地入睡。很累很累，15分鐘便入睡，這對我來說是極速吧。

十點幾，被媽媽叫醒了，因為客人己開始進入活動狀態。媽媽如常的極度好客，把這位我常題起唱歌非常好聽的partner的小船招呼得比半島酒店還要好，早餐、午餐、晚餐都很不錯吧？謝謝媽媽老豆。

老實說，我一點也不覺悶。其實談談情、吹吹水，亦可以好快樂，今天過得好簡單，好開心。謝謝小船。

This is life. Side by side.

see u cyn

禽晚我地同cynthia farewell。

話說 ens 班唯一既 exchange student (黎自星加坡) cynthia 今日evening 就要離開香港勒，冇法參與我地聽日既 grad din，所以我地同佢搞黎小班子既 farewell 活動 --- 打邊爐！地點當然係就番 cyn 啦 ---青衣！

好比面出值既人有我、大佬、界王神、小船、蘭西、lucky仔。阿彪以東亞病夫著名，又病檸左喎，更有d契弟話黎唔黎。

成晚大家食下野、吹下水、煲下煙，超級無敵咁開心，呢d就叫「極樂樂」勒！我可以肯定係開心過 grad din 囉，所以唔會話 cyn miss 左d 乜野。好有心思既大佬重叫大家 prepare 張紀念紙之類既野，將我地既心意入晒落個 folder 度送比 cyn，相當有意思。老老實實，在場人士一隻二隻都係義氣仔女黎架嘛，有 ensian 要走咁大件事，花幾多心機都值得。

-------------------------------------------------------------

「愛一個人，要愛晒佢既所有野，包括缺點。」

呢句咁既野聽過一百萬次，之前一直覺得好 on9。

winning friends

今日走三轉。

今朝八點半去嘉道理農場植樹。我遲左九個字起身，都冇遲到，超勁！其實呢個植樹活動係一個童軍活動，我o既duty係指示並協助d 童軍植樹苗。話明係童軍，自然係幼齒，大約form3-4。原來開泥係好辛苦好辛苦架，我開左一個 lone 都已經想死。德仔今日大發雷霆，o係咁媽叉我個group d童軍，好得人驚。今日eva同cathy都有參加，eva仲同我pair up，佢真係幾生修到。但其實德仔真係好搞笑，佢教digging，笑到我肚痛，講廣東話又唔正，超抵死。

下午趕去補兩轉習，lunch都唔得閒食。

每轉之間，我都埋頭苦幹咁睇 "how to win friends"，好開心，終於睇完了，所學所得都頗多：

首之，我了解到點解我會有咁多優資o既好朋友，原來因為我 "interested in other people" 同 "make others feel important"。而好多書中有提到o既野原來對我黎講經已係習慣，但由文字之中 interpret 出黎，令我諗o既野更加concrete，更加有推動力去花心機時間去投資o係友誼之上。

thank some of you again~

Do Read

這兩天都埋頭閱讀 ......

不知為何，日子越是空閑，書就看得越慢。"how to win friends" 好像看極也看不完似的。

糟糕！還有很多書等著我去看！

過日子

今朝晨早屋企已經好熱鬧，因為阿妹叫在好多女同學黎，超多幼齒，搞到間屋陰氣極重，我完全訓唔到。於是起身上陣網。

之後出旺角睇12點半既《不死狗》，係我既超級偶像李連杰做主角喎，點會唔睇呢！出戲好覺得好好睇，唔係因為打得勁，係因為會故仔好，個黑鬼又勁好戲，同李連杰既溫情交流拍得好細膩，正！好睇過早前李o個幾出西片好多好多！

睇完戲黎企屋補習。

補完又再出旺角睇過，係睇《天國嬌雄》，男主角依舊型靚仔，女主角就麻麻地，d短兵相接o既場面都唔錯，大玩投石機，但男主角守場part 好正，又淋油又拉跌投石器，好緊張。

兩日內睇左三出戲，我o係度做得評分：
- 星戰III = 7
- 不死狗 = 9
- 天國嬌雄 = 8.5

十字軍借神o既名義侵略人地，唉，真係唔要得...... anyway，都係佛教最和諧。

「在歷史上佛教未曾發動過任何宗教戰爭，它也沒有「聖戰」或「義戰」的概念。佛教本質上是反戰的。」

睇完戲八點半，約左小學黃同學食飯，大家一味吹水。

我始終係愛吹水。請大家得閒就撩我吹水吧。

How Women Vibrate 《看她怎搖動》

Introduction
Female homo sapien, better known as “women”, have long been the most dominant species in the world, surpassing the status of males called “men” to some extent. Women, basically, tend to make more effort on academic fields, resulting in the higher proportion of female undergraduates in universities. The main reason, however, of their domination stems from some mysteries existing among them, most of which women themselves have no idea with or they usually refuse to acknowledge when blamed. These mysteries very much characterize such a profound organism, whilst even quite a lot of men, who is facing tens or hundreds of women every single day, may have never thought about. This paper is to explore women by means of interpreting certain interesting behaviors of women regarding a variety of physical vibrations, the reasons beyond as well as the corresponding factors involved.

Material and Methodology
Study was carried out in January and February in the year of 2005 by means of surveys done via questionnaires. All samples were women, regardless of their sexual orientation. Five questions were prepared prior to the survey, as follow:

1. Have you ever walked or run at home with a naked body?
2. Do you shiver when you piss?
3. Have you ever seen your own asshole (i.e. anus)?
4. How long do you shit?
A. 1-5 mins
B. 6-10 mins
C. 11-15 mins
D. >15 mins
5. Do you wear bra when you sleep?

Questions were asked directly by me in ICQ or MSN messenger rather than face-to-face as women are too shy (or often pretend to be shy) to answer the above so-called “sensitive” and “disgusting” questions. The level of sensitivity of the question increase from Q1 to Q5, and therefore questions were asked in the order set above in order to maximize the data to be collected. It is worth noting that once a question was rejected to be answered, the remaining questions would not be asked and the survey for that particular woman would come to an end.

Result
In total 22 females, ranging from 17 to 23 years old, were questioned.
Results of the 5 questions are shown as follows:

Q1. Have you ever walked or run at home with a naked body?
Yes = 14%
No = 86%

Q2. Do you shiver when you piss?
Yes = 19%
No = 81%

Q3. Have you ever seen your asshole?
Yes = 21%
No = 79%

Q4. How long do you shit?
1-5 min = 36%
6-10 min = 43%
11-15 min =14%
>15 min = 7%

Q.4 Do you wear bra when you sleep?
Yes = 42%
No = 58%

Discussion
“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.” Men and women fail to fully understand each other simply due to differences in the sense of value. To men, most women are merely concerned about the minor, inferior matters, and have a great inclination to lavish hard-earned cash on something which men think is not worthwhile at all. Scientifically, we call this psychologically severe phenomenon an “On-9” syndrome, resulting in a corrupt and extravagant life of women in the first place, which will in turn exert a potential hazard to the innocent men who are believed to be deserved at last. Before we explore the severity of the adverse impacts adding on men due to women’s “on-9” syndrome, men ought to know more about their counterparts as much as possible. This paper, entitled “How Women Vibrate”, is committed to help ignorant men escape from the hell of bitches.
The first question is “have you even walked or run at home with a naked body?”. Graph 1 shows that less than 15% of the interviewees have done so before. The figure is a bit lower than expected but still reasonable, since I can’t figure out why they have to do so. A Naked body refers to a body without wearing any clothes or covered by any cloth, not even a sock. Their pair of breasts and ass, not being supported by bras or underwear, tends to vibrate up and down. In fact, it is not always true, in particular in some extreme cases. Breasts in sizes of Cup A and B apparently won’t have any observable vibration in any direction even in a huge earthquake. That sucks.
The second question is “do you shiver when you piss?”. I included this question because many men do but even my ex-biology teacher doesn’t know if women do and he dares not to figure it out. Shivering is a rapid form of body vibration. The phenomenon of shivering during pissing can be explained in the field of physic and biology. Pissing means urination, by which urine in urinary bladder could be excreted from the body. The major component of urine is water, a compound having a very high heat capacity which implies that it can absorb much heat with just a small increase in temperature. When a person pisses, a large amount of heat is lost from body over a very short period of time, and therefore, the body, by means of reflection, will shiver to heat up again the body to some extend. Generally speaking, shivery begins from the private parts up to the chest. Graph 2 shows that more than 80% of interviewees don’t shiver when they piss. It is concluded that women generally won’t shiver. Most of men shiver after pissing probably because their subcutaneous fat under skin is much thinner than that of women, and hence men are more easily exposed to cool than women. Nevertheless, some women, constituted around 20% of the interviewees, perform shivering, but the reason why they shiver is obviously not because of their thinness, yet probably due to hidden diseases or the abnormally high speed of urine ejecting.
The third question is “have you ever seen your own asshole”. Asshole means anus, the hole where you feces are expelled from the body. This question is aimed to testifying the ignorance and curiosity of women. Surprising, only around 20% of interviewees alleged that they have seen their asshole, as shown in Graph 3. To my mind, most of those who said “haven’t” in fact have seen their asshole but denied simply because of shame. The claim of some interviewees that it is difficult to look at own asshole just because they don’t know yoga is unfound. Instruments could facilitate the process of observation. The most commonly used one is mirror, which is relatively inexpensive and fairly accessible everywhere; we can also make use of some high-tech tools including DC, DV, webcam, or mobile phone. Kan (2005) also proposed that you can ask someone to sketch a graph for you. When looking at the asshole, people enjoy dilating and constricting the size of the hole, allowing a deep insight into the matter. Result illustrated from raw data (which is not shown in this paper) suggests that aggressive women are more likely to have seen their asshole.
The fourth question is “how long do you shit?”. This question determines how much time women waste on ejection. The category of 6-15 mins accounts for the highest percentage. But no other important conclusions can be drawn.
The fifth question is “do you wear bra when you sleep?”. The result is so surprising that about 60% of the interviewees do not wear bra when they sleep. The one of the reasons of taking off the bra is that the bra makes them feel uncomfortable and stressed when sleeping. Raw data suggest that women with big breasts are less likely to take off their bra when they go sleeping, probably due to the fear of breast deformation and collapse.
During the survey, some of the women hesitated before answering questions. Encouragement was needed to urge them to answer the questions. Some terribly “on-9” women just answered one or even refused to answer any question.
Here, I would like to propose two private brand new theories, namely, Men Should Be Gay Theory (MSBGT) and TB Loving Theory (TBLT).
Women are apparently a subspecies of homo sapien, who are characterized by “on-9” and unreliability. Men like women almost completely due to instinct and sex, instead of spiritual appreciation. Therefore, if men are not born to be a lechery (which means “salty”), all men will turn out to be gays. Plus, Tom Boy (TB) should be the most preferably lovers of men because TB is physiologically a woman but psychologically a man, which very much fulfill the favorable requirements the most.
Men should stand for women no more. Revolution is imperative! Let’s stand up and make some noises!

Director, The Department of Pornography, The University of Fukien, Fukien, China) and Mr. Tim Au (who is an asshole) for providing comments and feedbacks.

Sing 戰

今天是試後首過娛樂活動 ----- Sing 戰

十一點我地就o係旺角gether，唱k !!! 出值人有bill, 界王神, juno, milla, 大佬, lucky, lucky 條女 (唔記得左 lo乜野) 同埋好音敬o既小船，一共九條友 !!! 超開心 !!!

由於好 high o既原故，我係咁唱，唱到「力竭聲西」，把聲開到盡，首次 reach 到「力竭聲西」，haha ~~~ 不過，好快把聲就 collapse 左，食晒屎咁。

lucky條女原來唱歌都係好好聲，但當然係被小船比下去呢 ~~

唱到四點都只不過係35蚊，抵過去搶。

我地之前買左tickets 去睇星戰III，但小船話冇興趣, bill話補習, lucky溫女, turn out 得5個人睇，但都高興。

星戰都係咁上下啦，d茂利拎住d 光管打黎打去，但最pk o既係 queen amedana出得幾個short 囉頂，我入場係睇佢o既姐，佢又唔化女皇妝，好失望 ~~~

x-men

人的心都在隨時隨地的改變，但在我身上發生的事太多太具衝突性，我開始進行 mutation ......

- 只要靚女就行了 ---> 最緊要溝通得到
- 女孩子一般都細心 ---> 不，女孩子一般都 on9
- 我的直覺很準 ---> 絕不可靠
- 和自己年紀差不多的女孩子 ---> 幼齒優先
- 斯文得體 ---> 活潑好動 ---> 是 tom boy 就好了
- 討厭基佬 ---> 基佬亦可以好好


大件事了 ....

但好朋友提提了我，我一直是這樣的一個「星期一男人」：

有一些柔順的女性特質，像女性一般細心和溫柔關心異性和身邊的朋友
本身是不怎麼愛出鋒頭，而且脾氣是傾向於溫馴多半十分內斂不愛說話，個性上很隨和人緣很好
可能因多情而自苦煩惱，容易受氣氛感染而動情經常處在矛盾和不安中
感情豐富卻無表達勇氣，精神上承載許多的壓力在感情上通常不會寂寞，不過難覓得真心的伴侶

.....................................................

而我像女孩子。真的嗎？女孩子這麼 on9，我像她們嗎？是 mutation 的後果嗎？

到底這樣是否行得通？還是我只在浪費時間？

am i there yet?

試前大事回顧

五月九日o係我o既生日。

當晚冇同屋企人興祝，因為o係ENS班最後一次o既勁過飯，咁大獲野，屋企人都懶理 (我真係孝子)。當日5點半我成班都番campus上靚仔cornish o既oral堂。落堂時小船好識做，叫大家唱生日歌我聽，第一個好開心。上完堂大約六點幾，我地一干人等 (成廿幾人) 就搭巴士落去鐘鑼灣食巴西燒烤。巴士上層充斥住廿個熱血ensian，我地o係咁吹水同影相，嘈到司機唯有利用巴士上o既廣播器叫我地唔好咁嘈，超搞笑。車程半粒鐘倒，我地o係咁吹水同影相，個個都好high咁，真係好耐未感受過呢個情景。

當時個天o係落緊狗屎，落車之後原來仲要得好叉遠先到，我同我好音敬o既小船共用一把雨遮，o係雨下漫步，不知幾浪漫，我同佢o個度都濕左 …… I mean膊頭。十分鐘之後我地終於到左巴西。

O個度好好情調囉，我地由於好疊馬，要兩張枱，我同阿彪、小船、老豬同蘭西等人同桌，第二個好開心。巴西燒烤出名有一對茂利唱歌，我地叫左佢唱happy birthday to阿will，第三個好開心。我o既reply係「多謝大家黎我生日party」，係呀，我當正係我個party咁過架喇。

大家冇幾耐就食到想嘔，跟住就開始四圍亙相影相。我都唔例外。而影影下，突然見到後面有人拎左個生日蛋糕出黎，上面有個will字，我當時啞左一陣，因為o係我已經好開心好滿足之時發現原來仲有蛋糕，我非常感動，第四個好開心。跟住大家又開始唱生日歌，呢次o既生日歌我覺得係世上最好聽o既歌，感動都想喊，但可惜眼淚流唔出。第五個好開心。

之後唔知邊個話 birthday kiss (in terms of 臉) -_-…… 咁冇得走雞o既自然就係彪少啦。o係群眾壓力下佢條粉腸炸加依咁黎左野，好似有人不滿咁喎，我由於好high，我叫佢：「潮！黎真啦頂你！」而佢真係黎真，哈哈哈，第六個好開心。之後玩陰點，我不嬲都話阿彪係好兄弟，點左ens班首席索女 You-Know-Who (人地女仔，我係唔會趙完唱o既，嘩哈哈哈)，係第七個好開心。之後you-know-who又好好朋友咁點左弱智恆黎送我一個bd kiss，佢發左癲咁，其實我係好歡迎o既，不過就比佢d鬚吉到我好痛，不過係發八個好開心。

正所謂「樂極便會生悲只怪henry太貪玩」，佢竟然點leiwalado囉！嘩救命呀！佢笑口世世咁比人拖出黎，我當時唔想講野，只係噁心左兩三次姐，冇乜野o既。不過好彩佢只係用佢堅硬o既顱骨撞左我幾野，雖然好乸痛，但係冇錫到落黎，係我第九個好開心。呢個係全晚o既高潮，真係要多謝佢。

之後大家繼續影相同玩，yeah !!!! 埋單之後我地o係門口係咁影相，冇錯，最緊要影多d相！離開途中我又比人con，頂佢地，真係好乸痛囉！

番到企梳洗完之後就要開始做 great eco，雖然只係千五字，但係呢份野係我有史以後用左最長時間寫既短文，仆街，哂晒我d時間，我做到五點天光之有得訓呀頂。第二朝成點幾先起身，繼續搞埋d手尾然後番campus交。

五點我地 media 一組人開始 gather，要 ko 埋我地大學生涯裡最後一 assignment。我地幾條友 (bill, hing, kareen) heir下heir下到八九點先開始做野，超級廢柴同盟囉我地。我地o係 cc 通頂係咁做，想死。最後第二朝十二點幾present，我地都係present前十分鐘先搞點個 power point，次次都係咁，但咁先好玩，夠刺激，不過再冇機會lu。

我地最新力作：
「彪歌聰曲」MTV

YEAH!!!!!!! Entertainment Never Stop ~~~~~

21 + 1

平淡的母親節剛剛過了，今天是我的 22 歲生日。要不是 ICQ 有朋友向我祝賀，也許連我自己也忘記了。先行多謝我的朋友們。

為何會忘記呢？也許因為這幾日忙得發瘋！補習、project、essay等。做不完似的，唉，已是最後一個sem，為何仍然是這樣子。

也許生日對我來說意思不大，豬朋友問我有甚麼願望，我隨便答了「世界和平」。但自己再細想，其實最希望再有朋友對我說句「生日快樂」吧，就是這麼簡單。

最重要是快快樂樂，不勞而獲。
人一忙，惰性就顯露出黎來了。

想自由自在，愛淨土。

ICQ 論神

有個人 (12:03 AM) : 如果呢個世界原本咩都無, 咁點解無啦啦會有物質既出現﹖

Will Myself (12:04 AM) : 因為呢個世界除左神就乜都冇囉本來, 而神又好乸勁喎, 佢就整左好多野出黎囉

有個人 (12:07 AM) : 咁邊個創造神出黎﹖佢自己創造自己出黎﹖﹖咁佢原本佢係唔存在架喎, 咁佢點創造自己出黎﹖

Will Myself (12:09 AM) : 你問呢個問題因為你冇or 唔accept 「本有」呢個概念姐

Will Myself (12:10 AM) : 好多 religion 都有 本有 呢個concept, buddhism included

有個人 (12:12 AM) : 因為解釋唔到 je咁你話原本有d野, 咁呢d野又係點走出黎先﹖你話一隻水杯原本有水, 咁都係要有人倒落去啦

Will Myself (12:15 AM) : 你都on9 o既, 解釋到o既話就唔係宗教係科學啦你好明顯唔適合信教同讀哲學

有個人 (12:19 AM) : 點解解釋到既就唔係宗教﹖﹖原來宗教就係俾人將d解釋唔到既野掟晒落去﹖﹖你解釋唔到 je,唔表示不能解釋喎

Will Myself (12:24 AM) : 唔係解釋唔到, 係唔應該用科學o既角度去批判不嬲都好多人解釋緊自己個宗教但係你呢d人, 唔去接受人地d 解釋, 係都要懶科學, 用呢個physical 既空間o既rule 去jude 人地d theory,

Will Myself (12:26 AM) : 9 成西科學家都係基督徒, 人地唔通又不停用自己學o既野去arrange christism?

有個人 (12:27 AM) : 咁你試下俾d証據說服我, 証明有唔physical既空間囉

Will Myself (12:28 AM) : 你所謂o既証據咪又係指科學事實囉晒氣啦

Will Myself (12:31 AM) : 同埋你又知而家既科學的確advanced 到可以指明一切而家科學解釋唔到o既野唔科學?好可能係而家o既科學本身唔夠科學, 冇能力去 proof 姐

有個人 (12:37 AM) : 咁你有無諗過有d野暫時無人解釋到, 而你就用"神話咁就咁啦"去"解釋左, 唔再去嘗試解釋, 但唔排除過一段時間有人會解釋到喎....一係你試下用宗教去解釋一個人跳樓點解會向下趺勒, 因為神想佢趺﹖咁呢個"神想佢咁" 係咪晒屈機先....﹖

Will Myself (12:45 AM) : 嗱, 首先我唔係christian , 我唔知你講o既同佢地o既theory 有幾大出入其次係你本身唔信冇問題, 但你憑咩去challenge人地個theory 而你又解釋唔到人地唔係, 只係話人地講o既同你不嬲所學o既唔同你可以唔信, 但你好似未能夠好有力咁challenge 到人地, 不竟只係你同你地o既諗法唔同, 所謂o既物質世界, 好似係唔實在, 只係一般人via 5 sense interpret 到出黎o既野, 有d人可能好勁, sense 到另一個世界o既全在, 跟住四圍同人講, 而你聽到佢講咩, 但你sense 唔到, 跟住就用你僅sense 到o個世界去 arruge 人地d 野 , 你會唔會覺得有d 唔appropriate 呢d 個行為?

有個人 (12:51 AM) : 咁我assume你都sense唔到果d第6感第7感....咁你又點解選擇去相信果d話佢自己有第6感第7感既人真係有呢﹖

Will Myself (12:54 AM) : 哲學同科學各自為政, 好獨立我覺得人地其實都可以用哲學黎challenge 科學例如我從佛學知道有d人可以有天眼通, 睇到前世d野, 而我又「信 」(呢個係main point, which u seems not understand), 但science 話唔得, 咁我就可以challenge science道理一樣之麻

Will Myself (12:56 AM) : 我信, 因為我「感受」到佛的存在

有個人 (12:58 AM) : 個問題就係點解你聽左"有d人可以有天眼通, 睇到前世d野"而去選擇信instead of 唔信, 有d人聽左又唔信呢﹖點解你感受到佛的存在, 而果d人又感受唔到﹖

Will Myself (12:59 AM) : 因為愚痴

有個人 (1:01 AM) : 咁點解果d人係愚痴而你又唔係﹖神用咩準則去決定邊個人係邊個人唔係﹖

Will Myself (1:07 AM) : 嗱, science 都有個好出名o既term 叫 random motion
而神係點搞o既我就唔知佛教呢, 自主o既概念都幾強, 你愚痴o係因為自己, 因為自己對好多野都放唔低, 過去世唔修智慧 o既結果, 唔係有個神去determine 佢係天才定白痴你係好係壞都係你自己揀而我都唔認為基督教d 人會話 「殺人係神叫o既」咁

Will Myself (1:09 AM) : 我講左咁多野, 有冇減少到你對「神」或宗教哲學o既否定同反感

有個人 (1:12 AM) : 咁你有咩辦法証明俾果d唔信有前世既人真係有前世﹖無証據既, 叫人base on咩去相信你....﹖唔通話"我話係就係啦"咁咩....

Will Myself (1:14 AM) : 我冇叫過人去信我個宗教instead 我會同人介紹我所教到o既同感受到o既如果你唔信, 只係我冇緣去令你信姐

Will Myself (1:16 AM) : 你而家又好似講番轉會咁可能我真係未有能力說服你, 亦冇打算說服你, 只係想同你份享下, 亦唔想因此provoke 你, 算啦

有個人 (1:20 AM) : 我只係想純粹討論下 je我讀左五年基督教學校, 佢話你信佢就得永生, 唔信佢就要落地獄咁係咪好似黑社會迫人去選擇同唔同佢地合作﹖合作就有錢分, 唔合作就打9你Will

Myself (1:21 AM) : hahahaha　～～～你呢個比喻好搞笑, 但我鐘意

Acknowledgement

這幾天，有三個人我要正式感謝一番。

第一章 --- 老死篇

多謝你的分享，一直都慣於聆聽我說話的你，突然向我分享這麼多心底話，令我有點受寵若驚，但其實，我直覺早就告訴一定會有這一天，和我一起這麼久，總算比我愛分享的性格感染到吧！一直覺得你和我是做到的，果然，我對男孩子產生的直覺依然準確得緊要。事實上我對這一刻的自己不太了解，我有點累，自己也希望想個明白，請給我少少時間，讓我把事情搞清楚。考試後再和你分享。

第二章 --- 傻佬篇

老實說，內容我是估得到的，但總百看不厭。
妳所想亦是我所想，就是這樣簡單，對不對？

第三章 --- 意外篇

我聽到了，清清楚楚的 ...... 其實，早就知道了。
但也許我只能說聲多謝。

update will please

我寫的文字，好像一日比一日膚淺 ......

也許我近來改變太大，已失去自我，失去控制能力，失去「我想做好人」的心

極度迷失 ...... 如何是好？

身邊有幾位好朋友，他們知道的不多。
並不是我太隱藏，而是什麼都變了，變得太突然，朋友們都趕不上 update 我的人格。

告訴你們，我已是個 mutant，你們還不知道嗎?

我的改變，加上大學末日的來臨，會否為大家的關係帶來什麼的變遷？一切還好嗎？

我不驚慌，但有點著急，想去了解自己和大家。

歌曲的靈魂

岩岩聽完小船o既 demo完全版，暈左 (好聽到暈)，醒番，繼續聽，一直聽。

首demo除左作得好、編得好同唱得好之外(我係好硬銷的)，我發覺自己真係好鐘意 d 歌詞。
歌詞真係好重要，一首歌o既旋律係肉體，而歌詞就係靈魂，一個都不能少。

「沒意思 若情人像幼兒
又來重複十次 無聊傻氣笑話只算閑事
突然明白當愛退熱時 越去扮作投入越覺羞恥」

而我既靈魂不嬲都好無聊，如下：

「話你知 弱能兒是 Henry
智力重考十次 細路話佢白痴都算閑事
最斃每次當佢肚餓時 但佢越去食野越覺急屎」

《心領》

禽日係我第三次幫 kenix 姐姐錄 demo，係第三次呀！

話說禽日比界王神阿興昆左我番十點半學，點知原來係九點半，蝦條！(上次係比 gap人王大佬昆o既！) 所以都唔知番黎做乜，3-dom 勁過飯又話 canceled，三點o個堂 great economist 又上唔到，所以要留o係campus 度 hea 足幾粒鐘，磋跎我寶貴o既青春。

hea 都咁上下就去 kenix 度。頂，我又搭錯地鐵囉，搭左荃灣線去左尖咀！不過都準時到達 (please be noted that 「準時 + 15 mins = 準時」)。

嘿嘿，果然不出我所料，詞係未齊o既，不過係作詞認真o既表現姐。根據我地o既大作曲家指出，呢首歌要唱得好 soft，所以我都冇開聲o既必要。

之後我地開始錄 confirm 左詞o既部份先。係我一黎料就知唱唔到啦！假音不嬲都係我的最廢，真假音 d 轉接我完全 handle 唔黎，食晒屎咁。結果又係要降 key ......

由於「末期語癌」o既原故，我除左比人明寸、暗寸、恥笑同唱衰之外，亦大大延長左錄時間，搞到o個個自稱之前只係訓左兩個鐘o既隱蔽青年都頂唔順要訓番陣，我自己o係度練。

練到自以為ok可以開始，點知原來我係冇個音岩架囉！幾 frustrated 呀當時。為左輔導我，隱蔽青年o既方法層出不窮，又plot graph又剩，但都好似無濟於事。

最後受著語癌同走音o既雙管煎熬底下，總算完成 demo，是為《心領》。

臨走前聽左小船同我錄埋同一埋o既 demo，嘩 ~ 蝎魔滋 ~ 叫晒囉我，繞「梁」三日添呀！我對妳音敬越來越長呀~ 船~~ ^3^

原來樓下係有通宵「頭文字 van」番旺角架喎，超方便，我番到旺角都只係兩點幾，我仲o係旺角食左個牛雜面同吹左支可樂先番屋企 (冇食 dinner呢 ~ 我空肚但有型，唱出真深情)，超過癮。

其實呢次唱 demo o既錯敗感係最大o既一次，不過我會天天努力。

p.s. 我o係隱蔽青年度發現左 d gap 到震o既面包，命名為「ICQ 面包」，傳說食左會 on 唔到 line。

NVDA and Will My Teeth

今日第一次正式參與 greenpiss o既 NVDA (非暴力直接行動) ，我o既工作係先混入中電古東大會會場，o係我地 banner 人拉出banner 的同時，襯機派發 greenpiss 自製用黎唱衰中電o既 report 比在場o既升斗巿民古東。

一入到去就見到全場九成o既人都係阿叔阿伯，都唔知佢地去黎做乜。

大會一開始菲律賓 campaigner 呀 red 就企起身講野，followed by other representatives from various countries. d 古東開始唔好老脾。

最後弱智恆 henry 同 自稱「梁朝米」o既阿米拉出banners，超型 ! 但係 d 在場開始民怨四起，有d仆街仲鬧我地係仆街添，係真冇文化呀d 香港耆英 !!!!

今次動活我只係二打六，唉，殺雞豈用牛刀呢?

之後同界王神黎 campus check teeth同洗 teeth，個女 dentist 話我有蚊 teeth 同 wisdom teeth，要補同要做手術，respectively。

唉。

死鬼佬

越黎越憎 cornish，成日要人做埋d on9 野，我地都快 grad，佢仲o係度玩野！

超想打爆佢個頭！

will my quiet life

一個星期通左兩晚頂，嘿嘿 ..... 真係叻仔。

睇完 "tuesdays with morrie"，覺得呢本 international best sellor 都係麻麻地，可能化文差異大呱，硬係覺得幾悶咁，不過 mitch 之後寫o個本 "5 people u meet in the heaven" 諗番都覺得正到爆，係人都應該要睇，由其係 5th person。

而家又開始新一本休閑書，以前都唔知自己係咁喜愛學習。最新學到o既就係 "don"t criticize, condemn or complain."

呢幾日都冇o係屋企唱歌，要休息，o係咁食d 潤喉o既野。只在邊聽邊感受邊開習。

另外，我o係度只想真心真意的說出：
阿船，我真係好「音敬」妳架！ (雖然妳話對我冇性幻想令我想喊 ...... )

^3^

who fucking cares ?

禽日又上左 kenix 度錄第二首o既 demo，U-Sing 超勁 winner kerin 都有黎，因為佢好似重有一小段未錄好。

由於等歌都等左好耐，我o係o個度 hea 左幾粒鐘先開始錄，不過唔緊要，「工作室」的環境好舒服，又有「波羅油王子」睇！ xddddd

kerin把聲真係勁雄厚囉，近距離現場感受到。

由於錄 demo 要一定o既時間，我地又 hea 下 hea 下，又支力，所以要到今朝七點先正式錄好，錄通頂，勁 !!!! 不過就輪到 kerin 錄，要佢成晚得我錄，真係唔好意思，不過最慘都係幫我地錄o既 kenix，辛苦晒！

今次聽左好多其它人o既 demo 同 music trace，唔錯唔錯。

首歌呢，有個位對我黎講好高音，我要大叫先 reach 到，叫左三四十次都唱得唔好，勁灰，自怪天生低音囉。而家個喉嚨雖然唔疼，但 feel 到佢好支力，完全 loss control，雖要時間 recover 呢。

八點幾番到屋企，但係未有得訓，因為今日係交 dissertation o既大日子，由於我一早搞點得九九十十，只差少少野未 finalize，所以先咁得閒去唱 demo。一諗起o係其它同學通頂死沖爛沖份 fyp 同 disserto既同時我就通頂唱歌時，就覺得好笑。

不過我份 ecology of babblers 都唔慌高分，但係 ....... who fucking cares ?

ostracism

今日阿船講起報紙，我心中一算，發覺自己都成個月冇睇過報紙同新聞報導。
唉，隨時布殊死左我都唔知 ......

而家一味睇小說、聽歌、唱歌、做 dissert、做義工。生活簡簡單單，好過番學上堂。還不錯呢。

不過就黎想番都冇得番 lu。

life's like this.

心癢

i've already earned very very very much ........ >_<


共伴著看夜場
全程營幕細賞
對白令你歡唱

無需去理會劇情
雷霆萬鈞因果反應
這一刻我只想你開心
已經心領

剩下熱吻過後
完埸時劃過幻想
像妳已經倒戈相向
妳跟我各自離場
才明白妳已不再想
星雨下我在醉心自彈自唱
過份痛傷 只好妄想

從這天起 說對不起
沒妳怎算完美
仍愛不起妳
巴不得妳
不能同行也可 別說分離
和妳一起 逗妳歡喜
就當寵愛自己
原諒我沒法逃避
從前回憶的影照裡 嬉戲
(迷人黃昏的映照裡 想妳)

白日夢裡逗留
童謠曾為妳響
撲鼻是妳香氣

瞳孔裡輕輕演奏
是妳這初生的天使
柔細的 敏感的 讓我熱愛不釋手

在月夜裡逗留
纏綿時讓我成長
用妳兩手深深滋養
縱使愛已是盡頭
從前稚氣已給抹走
牽引著我這生原來是妳
到下世紀都想你知

從此抱著妳 寫進日記
從大家初相識已記起
再沒有可能 因此放棄妳若開口便有轉機

demo

禽日上 kenix 個充滿藝術feel同零亂美(haha) o既「工作室」為佢o既作品唱demo錄音，極度超級無敵好玩到震，好耐冇感受過咁新鮮、咁有趣、咁開心o既事lu。

之前o個晚o係度鬥d歌詞鬥左好耐，第一次填詞都幾吃力，好彩有阿妹幫手。

去到 kenix 度首先唱k開聲(古巨基首勁歌金曲真係開聲好工具囉)，然後同佢一齊finalize埋最後歌詞o既version，雖然好似全部都係佢contribute，我冇乜建樹，但係過程超搞笑，咩cosplay女郎同大貨車馬木車，XDDDD......

我都唔記得左幾點先真正開波，d instrumnet真係勁pro，戴住headphone，對住塊網唱，又即時聽到自己唱，勁好feel，正到忍唔住笑!!!!

是次錄音都錄左相當耐，原因有:
1. 第一次，冇經驗
2. 嚴重閱讀障礙
3. 廣東話咬字困難 (=懶音)
4. 拍子白痴

好多時顧得咬字又顧唔到拍子，不時都幾灰，不過起碼而家知道自己衰乜，係今次o既得着之一，老土d講得到寶貴o既經驗，又開始感受到何為「丹田」(kenix 一講我就明囉，之前d粉腸都唔係咪真係知o既，講極我都 get 唔到；真係響好多架喎，又唔傷喉嚨)，真係學左好多野，而最緊要梗係結識到一個好搞笑o既 friend 啦。

wow ~ 真係好開心o既一日。

自欺

就在末世夢遊
童謠亦為妳響
在夢魘裏走過
晨光裏笑著漫遊
叢林內天真的小鳥
在竭息，但有些，在歎息再不自由

在月下裏逗留
全人類患了狂想
像惡魔般倒弋相向
縱使愛己是盡頭
靈魂霧裡雪中顫抖
星雨下各自醉心自彈自唱
放下痛傷星空妄想

從這天起，說對不起
便每天愛着妳 (我愛的永是妳)
仍愛得起妳
巴不得妳
疏離隨(同)時亦會視作分離
和妳一起，逗妳喜歡
就當寵愛自己 (亦免不了自欺)
凝聚韻味舊國土 (仍為妳在這國土)
從前回憶的影照更鼓舞 (迷人黃昏的映照裏苦(淺)笑)

剩下熱吻過後
迷離凝望雨窗
再亦沒法補救
微風吹拂中分手
眉頭上憂鬱的苦笑
在那些，落泊的，木馬車，困身傷口

陌路但卻邂逅
纏綿時獨我成長
用妳冷冰的心滋養
碰到妳也沒回頭
唇上稚氣已給抹走
牽引著妳共我這生無限次
到下世紀都想妳知

從此抱着妳
寫進日記
從大家相識初便記起
再沒有可能因此放棄
若愛能自然視作一起

收皮

禽日大佬同我講今日十點半堂，咁我咪十點半番到 campus 囉，點知原來九點半堂，番到黎都己經上完堂，大佬話佢話「可能十點半堂」喎，我頂佢個肺 ~

今日第二輪初賽，我地如常去左方樹泉練歌。三點半之輪到我地，有排等。

三點半去到 CYM 101，佢地話我地係第一組，但個評判抄車所以遲到 (不過好彩個人冇事)，真係好事多磨。

等到成四點三個評判先黎，係一個男仔頭，好高好型好靚 !!!! 音樂人果然係唔同d ~

因為有一組好趕時間，所以我地讓比佢地先。佢地係一男一女既組合，男O個個勁到嘔電，係唱得超級好O個隻，想唔入決賽到唔得。可以話係大開耳戒。

先後就係我同大佬，我地首「藍雨」就被比下去了，同人地差幾皮，大佬走左少少音，我又覺得自己唱得好差 (因為我好驚好緊張)，唱時又唔敢望個評判 (因為怕羞呱 xddddd )。唱到咁上下都知自己衰梗，氣數已盡。

不停同自己講：「咁廢你學咩人比賽丫~ 收皮啦你 ......」

冷冷雨

今朝走堂去睇「精武家庭」。但又唔係我想像中咁好睇，阿妹講到天花龍鳳咁，其實一般啦我覺得。不過早場 25 蚊，都值既。

睇完戲都成 12 點，我坐 970 番 kong u，因為約左大佬練歌，幾神心。

聽日就係第二輪既初賽，我地首「藍雨」仲未係好掂，我同大佬有d地方唔夾，又不時走音，都幾危。不過都係至在參與姐。

呢幾日o係咁唱藍雨，把聲帶都開左好多，高音左起碼三個 key。學友就係好勁，點學都係差好遠。

唱歌其實都幾好玩丫，不過我始終唔鐘意唱 k，尤其同 d 女仔唱，次次都聽既多過唱既，又難聽喎，番屋企練下先啦唉。成班得阿船同 amy係識唱 (雖然兩人亦有很大的距離)。

但到底咩叫好聽我又唔係好識分，到底唱腔對唱功又起左d咩影響作用呢 ? let's explore it in the future.

大學之道

今日5點要上堂叫 cultural sustainability 既 broadening course，仲要交一份 field trip 既 report，只不過是600字。個 trip 既目的地竟然係港大 main build，你話係咪硬膠到震丫？

禽晚經己寫好了。完全唔知自己寫乜。是蕉旦算了 ~

今日番黎我先知我地係 supposed 去用一 d main build 既圖片去 illustrate 我地寫既野，痴 Q 線，我本身寫既都唔太關 main build，純粹吹水，illustrate條毛咩？又話要訂裝喎，佢都 on 9 既，600字根本連兩個 pages 都唔夠，咁都要訂裝，你話幾咁勞民傷財同埋唔環保丫，咁白痴既 lecturer都有，大學既教育制度有咩辦法唔比人批評丫頂 ~

我同阿彪都廢Q線理佢，是旦 print 出黎交左就算。5點我地到左 lecture room，放底我地份 assignment，再 take 埋 attendence之後，我就同阿彪講：「走喇我地~」

我地一推開度門，就馬上「斷正」，我地出，個 lecturer就入，我眼角 gup 到係佢，但我當完全睇佢唔到，阿彪亦然，大家直行直過。

出到黎我地進行以下的對話 ...... (W: Will；B: Bill)

W：頂 ~ 有會咁岩得咁橋架，斷到正 !!!
B ：嘩，佢求先望實我地呀，我完全唔敢望佢囉。我地擺到明走堂。
W：潮！收皮啦叫佢，我地走堂唔係我地既錯，係佢既錯，佢教得好邊有人會走佢堂呀！
B ：係啦，條友講野又廢到嘔喎！
W：咁廢仲好意思望我地，食屎啦叫佢！
B ：仲話o係大學教書喎，真係勢風日下 ~
W：簡單係不知廉恥 !!!!

大學之道，在明明德

死性不改

講你又唔聽, 聽你又唔明, 明你又唔做, 做你又做錯, 錯你又唔認, 認你又唔改, 改你又唔服, 唔服你又唔講。

做人唔應該係咁架，唉，真係 disappointing 呀。

我輸了

剛看完「單身日記 二」。

其實自己對這類型的戲不太有興趣，但因為這部戲有口皆卑，所以是有必要看一看的。

總覺得，一個人單身時永遠都是幸福的，無憂無慮；但當生活中多了另一個時，事情總是會複雜起來；當然任何人都不能抹殺戀愛的幸福，但不竟是有幸有不幸。

愛的反面絕對是恨，戀愛金幣不停地在轉動，同時亦向前走著，他可能一生一世地走著，不斷地發放愛的光芒，但也可能無端倒下，而以愛還是以恨作休止符，實在難以估計，結果往往出人意表。可惜，很多人甘願參與這場無把握的賭博。

世上一切關係都逃不出「緣」的張力。有一天緣來了，意味著終有一天緣會離我而去。有能力把緣凝固下來的人屈指可數，我亦無信心認為自己亦然。這個世界也實在太過謊戊。

「順其自然」似乎成了一個逃避的藉口，配合「騫翁失馬」的理念實在天下無敵，起了一個宗教層次的作用，我機乎把現在的自己推崇至九霄雲外。

真對不住自己。

我輸得切切底底。

X X 移動城堡

今日睇完「哈爾移動城堡」，覺得都唔錯，一貫宮崎駿既味道，又好笑。之前聽到唔少人彈呢出戲，唔係丫，雖然的確唔及「千與千尋」咁緊張刺激，但係好岩一家大細睇喎，o係戲院入面我四圍都坐左唔少小朋友。

有一句對白好深刻 ~
哈爾啜泣地說：「唔靚仔 ...... 我仲生存黎有咩意思 ......」

死未。但無可厚非，佢的確係勁靚仔。所以，呢出戲其實叫「靚仔移動城堡」。

同時，亦好期望「AV」。

又是旺角

睇完「連環不幸事件」，發覺都唔算係太不幸，仲不幸o既人比比皆是 (雖然幸唔幸福係視乎自己點睇)。

之後o係旺角撞到亞珊 (佢依然係咁有型)，寒暄左幾句又走左，我繼續行呀行，行呀行 ......

我係貝貝

我始終只係適合 "男生圍" 的生活，不竟 ...... 男女大不同

「愛總是讓人哭，讓人覺得不滿足；天空很大卻看不清楚，好孤獨」

有幸冇不幸

睇黎我真係越黎越樂觀了~~

睇番佢改左 o既 dissert，其實又唔覺咁大問題姐，都係citation 方法有問題之麻。

今日去 meet 佢，o係我三寸不爛之舌同楚楚可憐 o既游說同解釋後，佢話 "that's ok" 喎，又話自己寫 frence 同 spanish journal 時都係差唔多，唔識點改人地 d 字，hahaha。佢表示我 generally 都 ok，冇咩特別問題，又話明白 babblers 呢份野係 difficult 喎，at least 都會比個 credit 我 (下? credit 咋? 不過算啦，我都係求合格o既姐，有 c 已經謝天謝地)。

I don't See

I was not born to be that busy; I was not told to be that crazy about my work in Solar Campus; I was not prohibited to have a sleep or even nap of a reasonably long time; I was not this, I was not that. But why was I? Do I deserve? I don’t think so. Does it what I wish? I don’t know.

I appear to keep on doing something I had thought to be ridiculous and impractical. “On 9” is commonly used by me as an excellent adjective for the description on most of the persons who in many cases fail to side with my points of view. The notion that girls are “on 9” has been firmly sealed into my skull since the stunning speech about this was delivered by my social work in Form 6, which in turn has been advocated by many of my friends (that's why they're still my friends). He is fucking right. Anyway, if based on my concept of thinking in the past, what I have been doing in Solar Campus are amazingly “on 9”. Well, I forgot what I thought actually. I forgot many thing, such as my dream, my belief, my friends, as well as my personality, all of which I personally had very much appreciated for long. I am now old (but not matured) enough to think about my future, and yet nothing seems to be critical in my eyes. Money is nothing to me. What I in fact am calling for seems to be a happy life. Unfortunately, happiness is nothing less than a kind of luxury for a person like me. Friendship is the sole element I could find which is somehow able to contribute to a relatively happy life. But at this moment, even though friends don’t leave me, I do. I fail to manage the thing in front of me, or in my hands. I can't see why. I don't see either.

At night, the sky should be dark.

Ecology of Babblers

ABSTRACT
There are 257 species of babblers, the family Timaliidae, in the world, most of them dwelling in Oriental and Africa and some in Australia. Babblers have been noticed for their morphological and ecological diversity, and hence results in particular difficulties in their problems of systematics. Population of babblers has a complex sociality and many of them exhibit cooperative behavior which was deeply investigated along with some of the basic facts of their ecology. Despite the reasonable amount of studies about babbler so far, they are rather scattered and inconspicuous, which might be due to the difficulty in its taxonomy and diversity. Global threat on babblers is mild, whilst some local severe cases do exist anyway. Many of 14 babblers in Hong Kong are invasive birds and most are resident.


1 Introduction
1.1 What is Babblers
The babblers, family Timaliidae, is an important group of Old World insectivorous passerines (Sibley and Monroe 1990). There are 257 species of babblers in the world, in all incorporating 11 genera, distributed for the most part in Central and eastern Eurasia, Africa, Madagascar, Philippines, East Indies and Australia (Austin 1987). Virtually most of the babblers are restricted in the Old World, but with a single sole exception, the Wrentit (Chamaea fasciata) (see below), which appears in North America. Due to many of the passerine families, the babblers do not have diagnostic morphological characters. The morphological features of the group of babbler are generally the lack of a distinct juvenile plumage, shape and size heavier than the warblers (Sylviidae), in particularly legs and bill, as well as sexes alike in most species (Ciblis et al. 2002).

Moreover, behavioral characters are another cue used by systematists to define them as a group. The high degree of sociality of these non-migratory birds is the most significant feature, manifesting themselves in lots of ways. They usually gather in flocks and parties. Some species are cooperative breeders. Members of a population of most babbler species clump together while perched during the day and when roosting at night, with mutual preening observed in quite many species. The family is named as babbler owing to its babbling chatter and noisiness of some relatively sociable members, in particular the genus Turdoides, with many of them being fine songsters. Regardless of such similarities in nature, the babblers exhibit great morphological and ecological diversity. Being so variable and diverse, the family looks like a great collection of many different unrelated species at the first sight. New forms of babblers are still being described (Gonzales and Kennedy 1990). All these result in a complicated situation in the systematics of babblers and create troubles to systematists concern.

Babblers belong to the Aves class, order Passeriformes, and the Timaliidae family. But sorting out the phylogeny of babblers has all along been a challenge of systematists and there is particular difficulty in the systematics of babbler and some related members of the Old World insectivorous passerines. And yet in recent years there have been quite a lot of discoveries by means of molecular bases (Barhoum and Burns 2002; Barhoum and Burns et al. 2002; Cibois 2003; Cibois et al. 1999; Cibois et al. 2001; Cibois et al. 2002). In the long term progress of systematics of babblers, some species have been found to be wrongly included or excluded in the group. For example, laughingthrushes are now proved to be a sister taxa to all other babblers; two other oscine taxa, Sylvia (Sylviidae) and Zosterops (Zosteropidae), which was traditionally considered as poorly related to the Timaliidae family, has been recently found ought to be included in the babbler assemblage; The Shrike Babblers (Pteruthius) and the Gray-chested Thrush Babblers (Kakamega pliothorax) are the examples of species traditionally included among babblers but actually not related to the Timaliidae (Cibois 2003); the Malagasy “babblers” should not have been considered related to true African and Asian babblers, nor should Asian White-bellied Yuhina (Yuhina zantholeuca) have been, which the analysis by Cibois (2002) suggested not to be monophyletic with genus Stachyris. The Some molecular markers of sequence of mitochondrial genes by DNA hybridization work have been used to clarify the evolution of the complex babbler group (Barhoum and Burns 2002; Cibois et al. 2002; Cibois 2003; Sibley and Ahlquist 1990). Contributions made by Alice Cibois and other previous molecular researches allow us to have a more accurate insight into the limits of this family. The high similarity in size, shape and behavior between “real” babblers and the “false” ones is probably the result of convergent evolution.

1.2 About this essay
The study of babblers is still very inconspicuous, and so far there is no a single “family book” covering babblers. Among all species of this family, Arabian babbler (Turdoides squamiceps), which is a group territorial, communally breeding thrush-like babbler, occurring in Israel, is most intensively studied.

This essay is called “ecology of babblers”. In this essay, besides some general information of physiology, diet, habitat, etc., the most interesting part of social behaviors of babblers will be fairly discussed. Due to the inconspicuousness and scatteredness of the study of babblers, it would be advisable to cite various species as examples in cases. Moreover merely true babblers will be mainly focused on, instead of some non-babbler groups like the family of Australo-Papuan babblers (Pomatostomidae), also called Pseudo-babblers, with totally 5 species including Gray-crowned Babbler (Pomatostomidae Temporalis).

2 Physiology
2.1 Morphology
The members of the babblers are ranging in size from 3.5 to 16 inches (9 to 41 centimeters), while their colors vary from the plain browns and grays of many babblers to the warm red and yellow of the Red-billed Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea), a native species of southern Asia introduced in the Hawaiian Islands (Walters 1994). Most of them can sing very charmingly, but all species of fulvetta have rather subdued plumage. The babblers, through evolution, need not wings to find food virtually, resulting in their awkwardness in flight. Instead, babblers have the strong legs and bill. Strong legs facilitate their motions of hopping and walking in the forest scrub. The leg musculature of babblers is packed tightly together and muscularly developed, whilst no outstanding deviations from the order Passeriformes are observed (Jayasree and Mathew 1992). One of the prominent features of musculature is the disparity in the degree of fusion and intermingling of the bellies and fibres of the various thigh and shank muscles, probably related to the energetic movements of their legs. The difference in habitats may have attributed to the variation in patterns of the leg muscles among species of babblers.

Babblers’ feathering is often lax and soft. They possess a pair of short, rounded wings with ten primaries, as well as an unusually long tail for a flying bird (Gilliard 1958). Therefore the babblers fail to be great fliers. They usually perform short flights that are low in dense vegetation, or flights of as low as 50m over open ground between shrubs and clumps.

Unlike thrushes (of Turdidae family), many of which are superficially resemble to one another, the juveniles of babblers are normally not spotted. Bills of babblers are more robust than those of Sylvidae (Fauvettes), the closest relatives of babblers. Some have specialized shape of bills. For example, Scimitar-babblers, in the genus Pomatorhinus, work among leaf litter with their long decurved bill.

2.2 Energy Expenditure
Some variables like resting metabolic rate (RMR), existence energy (EE), heat increment of feeding (HIF) and filed metabolic rate (FMR) are data often investigated to determine the energy expenditure and its component in babblers. The energy expenditure of babblers proved to be adjusting within day and between seasons.

Most of the studies about metabolism were associated with Arabian Babblers. For example, it is found that their variation of FMR and EE of non-breeding individuals between winter and summer are due to activity, chiefly foraging and thermoregulatory cost in free-living birds (Anava et al. 2003); and breeding babblers required more than non-breeding ones. The difference in seasonal daily field metabolic rate is suggested to be the result of a variations in daytime metabolic rate, while during the different seasons, night-time metabolic rate is similar (Anava et al. 2002). Energy expenditure of Arabian Babbler is more or less the same as other desert bird species but not as high as that of non-dessert species.

Furthermore, the group size of babblers may exert a significant influence on their field metabolic rate. For instance, the Arabian Babblers’ groups comprise both adults and helpers and are generally made up of 3 to 5 individuals. All members in the group feed nestlings at similar rates and the rates of individual visitation drop with an increasing group size. FMR of primary females declines with group size, resulting in energy savings which allow primary females in larger groups to initiate a new nest sooner (Anava et al. 2001).
2.3 Growth
Babbler nestlings have a relatively high growth rate than other passerine species do, but not fledgling mass (Anava et al. 2001 b). In Whiteheaded Babblers (Turdoides affinis), with some sources calling it Yellow-billed Babblers, the low growth rate is compensated by the long fledging period and care by many parents (Jayashree et al. 1997). The earlier fledging, moreover, allow the species to obtain more food under the protection of their parents. Among some species of babblers, the young are accompanied by their parents for one to two years. Generally, the amount of accumulation of energy intake inside tissue in babbler nestlings decrease with age while energy content per gram of body mass increase with age.

2.4 Others
The enzyme Lgulonolactone oxidase (GLO) is always needs for the synthesis of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in animals. This enzyme exists in all non-passerine birds, but the reacquisition of GLO is surprisingly apparent in babblers (Corliss 1998). In additions, there is no direct relation between the brain size of babblers and the complexity of social play among genera within taxa (Bond et al. 2003).


3 Geographical Distribution
3.1 Habitats
Babblers are non-migratory birds. Almost all babblers occur in woodland or forest, though those in drier areas may occupy sparsely wooded expanses, often with a scattering of copses as well as small thickets (Stuart and Stuart1999). Most of the babblers are sedentary, elusive birds and hard to observe in the forest; they loiter near and on the bottom of the forest or among bushes in scrubby grasslands (Gilliard 1958). Their nests are built in trees, wooded areas, on rock ledges, on the ground, or within a few feet of it (Walters 1994). The structures are usually in dome-shape with some cup-shaped. In breeding season babblers strongly prefer having their nests built close to the ground, where can be well hidden from enemies. Their nests are often made of lichens, skeleton leaves and even spiders’ webs. Some 30 species are open-country birds in the genus Turdoides, while some are marsh birds but most do appear in open scrub of thorn or savanna, where babblers travel in small family parties. They are usually singing and leap-frogging with each other as moving swiftly from one bush to another and so, making the whole party exhibits to be “rolling” across the plain. A lot of Asian babbler pairs in fact mate for whole life and are completely resident, meaning that they spend entire lives within merely a few acres of scrub.

Habitat partitioning mechanisms of certain blabbers have been studied. For example, Black-lored Babblers (Turdoides sharpie) live in open areas with sparingly dispersed small trees and short ground vegetation cover, while Arrow-marked Babblers (Turdoides jardineii) can only be found in shorelines with dense trees and ground vegetation cover (Gole 2002).

Inhabiting hot, dry deserts, Arabian Babblers have its own physiological strategies for the habitat of extreme deserts. The lower critical temperature and conductance of Arabian Babblers are both relatively high, indicating a better adaptation to hot habitats due to the better capability of heat loss (Anava et al. 2001 c). Nevertheless, other changes including plumage, circulatory and activity modification must occur in order to drive away more heat and lessen the production of heat under the situation of increasing air temperature, which are still unclear.

White-browed Babblers (Pomatostomus superciliosus) performs territorial behaviors including calling displays and chases, resulting in the group division. These two territorial behaviors occur solely in the breeding season. The absence of territorial behaviors during the non-breeding season would be linked to limitation of food supplies during the summers (Gale 2002). Structured population of many babblers make up of various levels of organization, including groups, social neighbourhoods, local population neighbourhood and metapopulations. However, these structural units generally do not have discrete boundaries; the structure of their occupied landscape turns out to be the determining factor affecting these indiscrete boundaries (Cale 2003).

For those species living in hot, dry environmental conditions and with unpredictable food supplies such as Arabian Babblers in deserts, two physiological variables, field metabolic rate (FMR) and water influx rate (WIR) are considerably responsive to environmental fluctuations and hence are useful for examining its adaptations to extreme environments (Anaval et al. 2000).

4 Diet and Foraging Behavior
4.1 Diet of Babblers
Fruit, insects (or other small animals without backbones) and some seed are the general diet of babblers. Many of the insect species eaten by babblers are pests consuming common crops or stored grains (Dhindsa et al. 1995). Arabian Babblers, inhabiting extreme deserts of Israel, consume invertebrates and fruits (Anaval et al. 2000); the availability of invertebrates and fruit there is fine throughout the year, and their amounts depend on rainfall which is virtually highly unpredictable as mentioned. To sustain their life, babblers have to spend most of their time on the ground to seek food; they are bounding along, researching through leaf litter, probing into soil and turning over such small objects as cowpats, stones or sticks; on the ground they knock over large objects by inserting their bills beneath them and pushing forward and upward. Most babblers are arboreal but some are terrestrial in their foraging behavior (Stuart and Stuart1999).

4.2 Foraging efficiency
Ecologists frequently make used of food-supplementation experiments to investigate the influence of food availability on timing of other activities such as breeding (Boutin 1990). It is suggested that supplemented food contributes to the alleviation of energetic constraints on reproduction (Perrins 1970), consequently boosting laying by supplying energy for reproduction which is unavailable from local resources. There are generally three sources of energy supply of birds for reproduction: increase energy intake, reduce energy spent on other activities, or use somatic stores (Walsberg 1983). Furthermore, the great amount of supplemental food, the great sentinel effort of babblers (Wright et al. 2001). Since supplemented babblers forage more efficiently than the others, they can shift time from foraging to vigilance with approximately the same food consumption rates. Despite the point that the energy of provided food may not be equivalent of that of natural one, this can reduce their risk of predation (Arthur et al. 2003), suggesting that resource predictability may be an indication for the appropriate timing of breeding.

FMR and WIR of babblers are generally lower than other bird species, but, in particular Arabian Babblers, are more or less the same as those of other desert birds. The higher water content of the dietary intake contributes to the higher WIR in winter than in summer. Moreover, babblers consume a relatively energy-rich diet in summer and water-rich diet in winter (Anava et al. 2000)

4.3 Food Division
One of the crucial aspects of parental care is nestling provisioning in most studied avian species, babblers included. It is apparent that food division is negatively correlated with the order of hatching, and many last-hatched nestlings can be found dead in nests due to starvation (Ostreiher 1997). The phenomenon of feeding preference can hardly be observed between an adult and a particular nestling. The reason is that food division is chiefly determined by the severe competition among nestlings, rather than by the preference of parents. The parents, and not to say helpers, will never interfere with their nestlings to spoil the competition, nor do they prevent siblicide. Ostreiher (1997) found that feeders of Arabian Babblers feed randomly the nestling, particularly which most effectively draws their attention at the right time. As a result, the factor determining food division among the nestlings is probably the consequence of nestling competition. Nestling competition is in turn significantly relying on the feeding-space strategy. Two feeding spaces around nestlings are defined and they defend them by means of pushes against one another if necessary (Ostreiher 1999). Siblings in nests are able to obtain similar amounts of food within exclusive feeding spaces which are equal in size, while within shared feeding spaces, on the contrary, feeding rates increase with feeding-space size and decrease with hatching order. Preventing nest mates from obtaining food from feeders can simply be interpreted as defending a feeding space that moves with the nestlings and is an individual-space defense in babblers.

5 Social Behavior
5.1 General Sociality
Babblers enjoy traveling in troops, squeak, churring and babbling. Social reunions and assembling in flocks when not in breeding characterize most of the babblers. Babblers are so lively that they cluster together on a roost, preening one another and playing the music of babbling songs. In breeding season, the groups of babblers split into pairs and keep watching on their territory. Encountering enemies, they will defend themselves, or pairs may gather together with flock in other groups.

Small babblers like Chestnut-tailed Minla (Minla strigula) can be found in mixed species flocks or isolated pairs inside the forest (Roberson 2001). Numerous babblers are in small family parties perennially and are known as co-operative breeders (see below), while individuals in lots of species may clump or huddle together firmly when roosting and loafing. Populations of babblers have a complex social hierarchy. Primarily, the ranking system is the base regarding both age and sex, under which males tend to take precedence over females, and older birds over younger ones.

5.2 Breeding
The colors of babbler’s two to seven eggs are various; those of the large species are generally unspotted while the smaller ones often lay spotted eggs, one example being Chestnut-backed Jewel Babbler (Ptilorrhoa castanonota) giving eggs with russet blotches (Walters 1994). Incubation done by both sexes or female alone usually starts after the last egg has been laid so as to broods hatch almost synchronously, with for example 6 to 34 hours passing between hatching of the first and last chicks in Arabian Babblers (Ostreiher 1999).

As for the hatching order and nestling location in the nest, it was found that feeders tend to feed closer nestlings more frequently than those further away, and straight ahead instead of sideways. In the open circular nest of babblers like Arabian Babblers, the positions of adult feeders are not predictable and equally distributed around the nest. The nest’s architecture of babblers exerts a great influence in food distribution among the nestlings, and can help reduce inequalities in the sibling’s abilities to obtain food (Ostreiher 2001). In some species like Large Grey Babblers (Turdoides malcolmi), all the adult family members involve in the nest construction (Gupta and Midha 1997)

Reproduction by subordinates is not common but predictable (Lundy et al. 1998). In Arabian babbler, for example, subordinate males who sire young are more likely to be recent dispersers from their groups which they were born or members of newly formed groups that subordinates who do not reproduce.

Normally, group size of babblers is positively correlated with the territory size. Nevertheless, for example in Arrowmarked Babblers (Turdoides jardineii), neither group size nor territory size is related to the number of nestlings raised by a group, and an extra amount of adults in a group may not promote the reproductive output of the breeding pair, at a time when they, however, help in defence and enlargement of their territory saturated habitat (Kemp et al. 1995).

5.3 Cooperative Behavior
While this framework of sociality is as rigid as in other forms of wildlife, in fact, at the same time another system is operating. The social status of individuals is variable and changes over time depending on their own management, even though individuals are of the same sex and age. For instance, some impoverished people refused to apply for public assistance because of shame; similarly, subordinate babblers may refuse to be fed by another even in starvation, since being a recipient of goodness lowers its social status. Instead, subordinate babblers are spending as much time as they could feeding the young so that their status could be raised. Meanwhile, the individual flies away less frequently when a dominant bird is present at the nest. If it does not fly away, the dominant helper will display a non-aggressive motion of social status to ward it off by preening it (Hunt 1999).

Competition for sentinel job opportunity is apparent in cooperative babblers. Certainly the alpha male is the one staying at a top branch as a sentinel. It is interesting to learn that sometimes it will leaves his position and be substituted by a less dominant one, but he will then address to and relieve the substitute of his duties by feeding him when he wants the position back. All in all, babblers are generally unfriendly to those who reciprocate, and they are likely to make benefits from doing giving by itself rather than receiving. It is easy to realize the mechanism of altruism in terms of natural section since such kinds of activities lead to direct benefit. Even though some example of altruism with reciprocity in some vertebrates, it seems no longer to be a controversial conclusion that so-called altruism in babblers is merely a simple selfish action (Zalavi 2000).

5.3.1 Cooperative Breeding, Parents & Helpers
During cooperative breeding, helpers are providing parental care for the young which are not theirs. Cares are provided usually in terms of food, but other forms of care are also common like nest construction, territorial defense, incubation and defense from predators. For example, in Large Grey Babblers, all the adult family members take part in nest construction, incubation and feeding the young (Cupta and Midha 1997).


In cooperative babblers, a group territory is defended by both a dominant pair and their offspring from previous years, some of which might also help raise the current young. The young thus gain living space for up to some years, and yet help with territory defence and chick care. This form of system can be observed in some resident species, probably occupying their habitats to saturation, without space for a separate non-breeding sector. The Arabian Babbler is a well-studied example (Newton 1998). The parents gain in fitness by allowing offspring to stay with them until they are capable of acquiring own territories. With the help received from helpers, therefore, the parents are able to raise more young than they could be independently; it may not be advisable to for the young to instantaneously disperse into a habitat which is already saturated with other territory-owners, so these young are then supposed to live better by staying with their parents until an optimal time to leave (Newton 1998). The system of assistance provided by helpers is best developed in babblers of the genus Turdoides (Stuart and Sturat 1999).

Non-breeding helpers raise young produced by dominant breeding ones. While kin selection (by which individuals make indirect benefits to fitness by aiding collateral relatives) chiefly contributes to the evolution of cooperative breeding, more and more evidence reveals that there might be no close relation between the helpers and the young (Clutton 2002). It is suggested there may have been overestimations in the indirect benefits of cooperative behavior, whilst the direct benefits of helping to the help’s fitness have been underestimated in all probability. The mechanism of evolution keeping breeding cooperative are likely to be diverse; in some species such as Arabian Babblers the direct benefits of helping is sufficient to maintain cooperative societies in the view of evolution.

The trade-off between fitness returns from current versus future reproduction could determine the optimal degree of parental investment (Trivers 1972). Moreover, when care is provided by two parents, optimal degree of investment also depends upon collaborator work rates. Individual compensatory adjustments in nestling-feeding effort of both parents and helpers are according to the work rates of collaborator (Wright and Dingemanse 1999). Individual babblers are expected to make the most of their fitness by making their chick-feeding effort only on broods which contain closely related nestlings. But Wright (1999) concluded from the three measures of relatedness, i.e. DNA fingerprint, group histories and observed information on relatedness in Arabian babblers, that individual birds have surprisingly no access to sufficient information regarding the variation existing in their own genetic relatedness to the brood, while it may make efforton relatives by simply feeding any nestlings that exist in the territory of theirs.

Helpers would compete with one another for feeding nestlings and young fledglings by stealing each other’s food and taking it to the young, so as to raise their social status as discussed. Helping-at-the-nest produces a positive and linear effect on breeding success in babblers, and the provisioning effort needed of other group members can be largely reduced (Wright 1998). Although quite some species are practicing community breeding, most of their breeding habits and rituals are still unclear.

5.3.2 Mobbing
For a prey, the normal reaction when it encounters a predator is to run away straight or hide itself, but when the unlucky prey has no other choices, it tends to retort. In babblers, likes some other species of birds and fishes, the prey group groups together and approach the predator, in which mobbing is a noisy form of behavior where birds approach and chase away predators if possible. However, the costs of approaching a predator are never insignificant, some examples being death, time investment, wastage of energy, advantage for others who do not accompany, etc. It is therefore surprising why babblers mob at all. There must be benefit in mobbing, and otherwise babblers adopting this behavior would have failed to pass on the ability to their offspring. The mobbing allows babblers to remove the advantage of surprise on which many predators depend to make a kill, and to facilitate the acquirement of information about the nature of the threat (an assessing behavior), and it turns out to be less dangerous when the number of group member increases (Arnon et al.1998)

Additionally, mobbing has its social function (Dreher 2002). It was recently proved in Arabian Babblers that a much more absorbing benefit of mobbing is self-advertisement (Maklakov 2002). Research shows that in babblers where both parents look after the offsprings, the males tend to take more risk in mobbing. Virtually approaching the predator more vigorously contributes to the image of its strength and ability to chase away predator, attracting females for further broods, while mobbing in the absence of an audience or additional participants reveals that this is basically a selfish behavior (Ostreher 2003).

One of the major differences between babblers and other passerines in terms of mobbing is that babblers live in relatively stable groups of familiar and mostly related individuals (Hultsch et al. 1999). Individual who is far away may attain information from the signal of calling about the type of threat facing, and as a result they are able to assess the situation before they try to approach or decide not to approach. In addition, each specific call may increase the future vigilance of group members with regard to particular types of predators.

5.4 Communication
Babblers, just like most of other birds, produce sounds to communicate with one another. In order to deal with communication sounds of babblers, the traditional measure is to consider every type of vocalization in the babbler repertoire as a kind of signal. There is moreover a strong linkage between communication and mobbing mentioned.

5.4.1 Alarm calling & predator discrimination
Many babblers have their own specific call types responsing to predators. Mobbing also involves different call types and in turn provide information on various predator-induced situations in the group, for one, in Arabian Babblers short metallic-sounding “tzwick” implies a higher risk or urgency than long trills, and different combinations of both call types probably provide grade (Hultsch et al. 1999). Moreover, babblers may have some distinct classes of alarm call in response to potential predators. For example, Arabian Babblers use three distinct types of alarm call, namely “Pshews”, “tsits” and “trills”. Pshews are referred to flying avain predators as well as escape behavior, while tsits implies terrestrial predators and approach-mobbing heavier, and trills are linked with perched avian predators and monitoring behavior (Regosin 2002). But it is found that sometimes the babbler alarms do not have any stimulus specificity of externally referential signals.

One of the vocal expressions is called the ‘shout’. As mentioned, some babblers are a social bird and live in groups to defend territories against other groups. The vocal repertoire of some babblers involves some twenty various vocal expressions, in which the shout is the most widespread one (Katsir 1995). In many situations like fighting, shouts are being emitted by those in the position of sentinel from the nest, resulting in a chain of ‘syllables’ with pause in between. Never are the chains the same in terms of numbers, curves of frequency, duration and intensity of each syllable over time, not even for the same single individual. As a result, every single performance of shout is interpreted as a variation and there is a connection between the acoustical-musical structure of the variation and babblers’ behavior, suggesting that the existence of such variations in babbler shout may be critically important for communication.

5.5 Sentinel behavior
Sentinel behavior appear in many forms of wildlife, including babblers. It was found that such a kind of so-called “cooperative” behavior turns out to be simply the result of individually selfish anti-predator strategies (Wright 1997; Khazin et al. 2001; Mathew and Zacharias 1998). Despite the selfish anti-predator strategies, there is little solid evidence that individuals compete for the opportunity to engage in sentinel in order to advertise their status and gain social prestige. In many babblers, the sentinel activity of simple family groups is generally the same; there are no differences in rates of alarm calling between group members, while more territorial calls are made by dominant males to neighbouring groups during sentinel. Besides, individual state has proven to be the determining factor of the effort of sentinel within groups, with no evidence for competitive sentinel behavior between males (Wright 2001).

5.6 Interesting Behavior
When calling and displaying, many babblers spread and depress the tail feathers and expose the rump with fanned wings held downwards and quivering. Some babblers also display certain forms of unusual and interesting behaviors.

The Arabian Babblers exhibit the “morning-dance” on the ground beside a bush. The dancers, who may include the whole group of adults and immature birds, stand alternately in a row and gather into a tight ball, whilst individuals tend to force themselves repeatedly into middle of the row or the center of the clump. They sometimes keep playing for half an hour. The frequency of morning-dance moreover is affected by the presence and behavior of observers (Osztreiher 1995). When they discover water, these babblers drink and bathe, and then engage in a “water dance” which is different from morning play; it is apparently not a performance which helps dry their plumage, since bunching together will slow down evaporation, and even those who have not bathed may join in the “water dance” after some bathers have started it (Skutch 1996).

Alloreening characterizes the Whiteheaded Babblers. The merits of this unique behavior among babblers are to help make themselves less aggressive and promote mutual relationship between individuals and therefore group integration (Mathew and Zacharias).

Jungle Babblers (Turdoides striatus) are often called “the Seven Sisters” because they are usually observed in groups of seven, of course not always, but there is certainly a strong tendency toward the number seven (Corliss 1998). Jungle Babblers, furthermore, perform two forms of vigorous play. One is “rough and tumble”, which was a tussle between two or more babblers. Some of them will lay passively on the ground, while others roll on top of them and peck them intentionally and yet softly. Most of the participants are younger than one year old. The second play is “mad flights” in which one or several fly rapidly without definable purposes obviously. They twist and turn wildly among the branches of a tree. Other babblers like the Large Gray Babblers (Turdoides malcolmi) and Arabian Babblers play similar vigorous games (Skutch 1996).

The Whiteheaded Babblers perform allopreening to help reduce aggression and promote group integration. Allopreening, clumping and sentinel system, together with the large repertoire of vocalizations are likely to facilitate consolidation of the group and coordination of movement of babblers (Mathew and Zacharias 1998).

6 Threat
According to BirdLife International (2005), 6 out of 257 species of all babblers have been categorized as “endangered”, without any recorded extinction so far. The 6 species are Rufous-breasted Laughingthrush (Garrulax cachinnans), Collared laughingthrush (Garrulax yersini), Negros Striped-babbler (Stachyris nigrorum), Flame-templed Babbler (Dasycrotapha speciosa), White-throated Mountain-babbler (Kupeornis giberti) and Grey-crowned Crocias (Crocias langbianis). In fact, there have been a few studies on some others babblers considerably concerned locally and globally.

Hinde’s Babblers (Turdoides hindei) is a scarce, globally and species under threat, which is also endemic to central Kenya, and in fertile, moist land largely cleared for agriculture, but retaining some thicket cover. The Hindle’s Babblers in both situations normally stay near streams and rivers. But they are now facing the problems of widespread clearance of thicket resulting from skyrocketing human population and therefore the increasing demand for agricultural land. Worse still, remaining thickets are become more and more isolated. It is suggested this turns out to be a great impact on Hinde’s Babblers because they are not flexible in the habitat choice. For example, the high dependence of Hinde’s Babbler on Lantana thickets means it is strongly susceptible to further habitat loss (Njorge et al. 1998). Hinde’s Babblers are now classified as globally vulnerable. But merely 8% of the known population are found inside legally protected areas at this moment and the global population is suggested to be as low as 1,500 individuals (Shaw et al. 2003).

The problem of habitats fragmentation has been concerned as a threat on babblers. The behavior of White-browed Babbler groups produces a significant influence on the dynamics of local populations, and probably affects the persistence of the local population within fragmented landscapes. Group dynamics is essential to persist its local populations, particularly in landscapes facing habitat loss and fragmentation. In Australia the tendency to give general prescriptive management guidelines derived from comparative babbler assemblage studies is not capable to recognize the spatially explicit nature of population dynamics as well as the role that species’ specific behaviors on those dynamics. It is therefore crucial to determine the unique characteristics of the landscapes and the species being concerned so as to generate prescriptive management guidelines (Cale 2003).

7 Babblers in HK
14 species of true babblers, including both laughingthrushesand and Yuhina, has so far been recorded in Hong Kong: Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus ruficollis), Rufocus-capped Babbler (Stachyris ruficeps), Chinese Babax (Babax lanceolatus), Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush (Garrulax pectoralis), Black-throated Laughingthrush (Garrulax chinensis), White-browed Laughingthrush (Garrulax sannio), Red-billed Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea), Vinous-throated Parrotbill (Paradoxornis webbianus), Masked Laughingthrush (Garrulax perspicillatus), Hwamei (Garrulax canorus), Siver-eared Mesia (Leothrix argentauris), Blue-winged Minla (Minla cyanouroptera), White-bellied Yuhina (Yuhina zantholeuca), Striated Yuhina (Yuhina castaniceps) (HKBWS 2005), among which the first 8 species are, or have been, listed in the category defined as “Southeast China breeding species, the established or formerly established Hong Kong population of which is considered to be derived from captive stock, but which probably occurred in Hong Kong prior to anthropogenic habitat changes” (Carey et al. 2001).

All of the babblers found in Hong Kong are resident, with a sole exception of Striated Yuhina, being an irruptive winter visitor, although there are a small number of escaped or released birds obverted. All breeds mainly or fully within the Oriental region, but none of them are endemic to Hong Kong. 10 out of the 14 babblers are considered to have been established in Hong Kong by means of human agency as a kind of invasion since 1860 (Corlett and Leven 2004). The reason for their invasion was probably due to being released from cages. Babblers are noted for its noisiness and their owners might have been tired of their noisy pets and therefore gave them up by release. Nowadays, those who have already well-established include Streak-breasted Scimitar-babbler, Rufous-capped Babblers, Greater Necklaced and Black-throated Laughingthrushes, with a rapidly expanding population in both forest and shrubland (Carey et al. 2001). Hwamei, which somewhat characterize the shrubland in Hong Kong, seems to be the most well-known common name of babblers to Guangdong people, in particular senior bird owners.

8 Conclusion
Babblers are a family comprising species with both diverse morphology and ecology. In spite of this, the babbling and sociality, especially cooperative behavior, characterize this family of bird. It is apparent that the core of the sociality of babblers is their cooperative behaviors, involving cooperative breeding, mobbing and sentinel, all of which are highly associated with the communication between members, under the principle of fitness (or selfishness) as a basic. The amount of investigations and studies about babblers seems reasonable but terribly scattered, probably due to their variability between genera. One of the main problems is that the taxonomy and systematics of babblers has long been in chaos, acting as a kind of burden hindering the understanding of this bird. In general, whilst the threat on babblers is not very high, some more appropriate measures ought to be stepped up in order to deal with the problems local. In fact, the first step, or the step kept path with, is to promote a more rapid research on the babblers relatively concerned such as Hinde’s Babblers. In Hong Kong, babblers are mainly invasive birds and their local ecological values are unclear or just not significant.
