The Number 23
The Number 23 is a suspense film starring Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, and Danny Huston, directed by Joel Schumacher. It was released on 20 April, 2007. The plot involves an obsession with the 23 Enigma, the Discordian belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23.
Hold your breath and read the Plot
Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) is an animal control officer married to cake shop owner, Agatha (Virginia Madsen); they have a son, Robin (Logan Lerman).
It's almost five o'clock when Walter gets a call to catch a dog. He catches the dog and notices on the tag its name is Ned, but then gets distracted and the dog escapes after biting his arm. It runs to a cemetery, sitting at one particular grave, that of a Laura Tollins.
Because of the incident with the dog, Walter is late meeting his wife and while she is waiting outside a bookstore, she browses through a book called "The Number 23". When Walter finally arrives, Agatha buys it for him.
Walter starts reading the book and sees some similarities between himself and the main character, a detective only known as "Fingerling". The main character explains how he got the name Fingerling from an obscure children's book, and Walter discovers he has the same book. Also of note, the book details Fingerling's meeting with the "Suicide Blonde" whose obsession with the number 23 drives her to murder and suicide. Her explanations and calculations of almost everything — including names, birthdates, and colors — all adding up to 23, drive her insane. These calculations are scribbled all over her apartment walls.
Walter tells his wife and son about this phenomenon from the book, and shows them his calculations, done on their dining room walls, in which his name, house number and social security number all add up to 23, as well. Walter visits Dr. Isaac French (Danny Huston), a friend of Agatha's, whom he hopes will explain the 23 theory.
Walter takes the book back to the bookstore and learns it is self-published and self-printed, and the author, Topsy Kretts ("Top Secrets"), never released any other books.
Fingerling's story continues. It begins to make Walter believe that Dr. French has romantic designs on Agatha. Walter begins to think anything associated with the number 23 is cursed or evil because 2 divided by 3 equals 0.6 recurring, or the Number of the Beast, as Dr. French explained.
Walter's continued paranoia makes him have dreams of killing Agatha, again paralleling the book. Walter has such a vivid dream that he leaves the house in the middle of the night, goes to King Edward's Hotel, and requests room 23.
The book stops on chapter 22 with Fingerling on a balcony trying to decide whether or not to jump, after murdering his lover, Fabrizia.
Walter sees Ned again and follows him to the grave of Laura Tollins (Rhona Mitra) who died on her 23rd birthday; her body was never found. Walter looks into her death and discovers Laura was sleeping with her professor, somewhat like Fabrizia in the book. Walter thinks the professor wrote the book as a confession and goes to see him, yet the visit yields nothing. The man proclaims his innocence of the murder and of being the author, and suggests that "[Walter's] problems are greater than [his] own."
Robin finds a P.O. Box address hidden in the back of the book and they send 23 boxes filled with packing peanuts to it. They wait for Topsy Kretts, who upon being confronted by Walter, becomes panicked, proclaims Walter should be dead and slits his own throat. Inside the man's pockets, Agatha finds an ID card belonging to a mental institution, showing that the man is Dr. Sirius Leary, and tells Walter nothing of it. She goes to the abandoned institute and finds Leary's old office (number 318). In a cell covered in calculations of the number 23, she finds an old box with what appears to be Walter's name on it.
Meanwhile, Robin and Walter, who have been examining the book, discover that every 23rd word on every 23rd page spells out two messages, the first one being, "Find Casanova Spark; dig under the steps to heaven." Robin asks who Casanova Spark is, to which Walter mysteriously replies, "It's not a person."
They arrive at "Casanova's Park" late that night, and going down the staircase marked "The Steps to Heaven", they realize that there are 23 of them. At the bottom, they dig deep in the ground and discover the remains of a human skeleton, presumably Laura Tollins', but when they return with a police officer, the bones have disappeared. Agatha arrives with Dr. French, only raising Walter's hackles more, and they return home. On the way, they encounter Ned sitting in the road. Walter accelerates, intending to kill him, but stops at the last second when Agatha grabs his arm, her fingers stained with dirt.
As Agatha washes her dirt-tinted hands at their home, Walter confronts her about taking the bones and accuses her of writing the book. She tells Walter that, in fact, he wrote the book, and shows him the contents of the box from the Institute. In the box there are detective comics, the manuscript of "The Number 23" with Walter's name on it and a saxophone, the instrument Fingerling played in the book. Walter runs angrily upstairs in disbelief.
He returns to the hotel room where he tears down the wallpaper and finds chapter 23 of the book written on the wall, identifying himself as the author, declaring it his confession and explaining everything; Walter's father killed himself after Walter's mother's death. His suicide note was just pages of things that added up to the number 23. Walter loved Laura Tollins, a woman he went to college with, and grew obsessed with 23 because of his father. Laura eventually began sleeping with her professor and when Walter confronted her about this, declared that she never loved him. He went into a rage, stabbing her and burying her in the park. Ned observed him burying Laura. Like the character in the book, the professor was the first to walk into the room where Laura was killed, and he picked up the knife, covering the weapon with his fingerprints, and staining his hands with blood. With this, he was subsequently arrested for the murder. Walter then went into the hotel room, wrote the book, and then jumped off of the balcony. He survived but suffered severe injuries and trauma, which required intense therapy. Walter then ended up in the institute where Dr. Leary worked. Dr. Leary read the manuscript and, after publishing it, becomes obsessed with number 23 himself. Because of the fall, Walter suffered memory loss and upon leaving the institute he met Agatha.
Walter now turns himself in, thereby freeing the professor and finally relieving his conscience. According to Walter's lawyer, the judge will take "lightly" to him since he turned himself in. Though entering prison, Walter Sparrow seems optimistic about his and his family's future. Right before the movie ends, in the prison, the clock points one hand at 2 and the other at 3.
At the end of the movie you see the Bible reading from Numbers 32:23 "You may be sure that your sin will find you out."

社会病态
原本写好了一篇很长的文章，关于以下的新闻。。。结果，一当机。。。都没了。。。重写的心情也没有了。。。
只是希望大家读一读以下的新闻，然后反省一下，为什么会有今天这样子的局面出现。
疑不堪課業壓力小五生校內跳樓
其实，现在的孩子还蛮可怜的。。。希望家长们、教师们还有可爱的政府们，不要再制造出更多的“读书机器”。。。毕竟，孩子们确实是我国的未来栋梁，不要为了自己的利益，而苦了孩子。

约我吗？让我想想~~
从0岁到18岁，由于家教甚严，很少和同学出去逛街、看戏。很多时候，都是留在家做功课、看连戏剧、练钢琴...还有和我家的狗狗玩~~~所以，日子过得很充实，不会太忙碌，不过刚刚好。
进了学院/大学以后，学会了出去逛街、看戏。可是这样子的日子不太长。主要原因是因为我除了要忙功课以外，我还开始了我的运动员生涯，所以能够和朋友们一起玩乐的时间，就只有在学校了~~~
接着，开始工作以后，时间虽说很稳定，也很少有加班的机会。可是，我还是一样很忙碌。除了正常的上班时间，其他的时候，我都在武术的世界里。看似很夸张，但确实是如此~~~
所以，要约我，还真得要让我想想~~~我的时间好像都排满了。嗯~~~看来，要等到下个月才可以见面了！@_@

大馬中文部落格
偶然的机会，去到了一个朋友的朋友的朋友的部落格...很喜欢他很“鸟”的写作风格...所以，就一直有在看人家的部落格。一直到后来，重新整理自己的部落格之际，也顺便将人家的链接，放在我的部落格里...（看我多么的支持他~~哈~~）
一直到最近，偶然发现人家有在看我的部落格，还留言！！！除了惊讶，不知道还可以怎么形容我当时后的反应。
其实有相当长的一段时期，没有浏览他那里了。就因为看到了他的留言，还以为自己眼花，在他的名字上，点击了一下，马上出现新的一个视窗，正是他！才发现到，他竟然有上AI FM的访谈节目。
坦白说，我对爱FM只停留在小学时期的教育节目，之后就听988了。
某一天下午，在公司瞥见某报章有注明这关于爱FM部落格的访谈节目，可是我却没有去听。直到今天很得空地在浏览他的部落格，看到了关于这一次的访谈。受访者纷纷在自己的部落格写下了当时的心情，感受等等。
我还发现了这个--〉http://mybloggercon.jeremiahfoo.com/?page_id=11
原来，大马中文部落格如此受欢迎、受重视。我在这里的名单内，还发现了几个朋友的部落格，其中包括了我的讲师、我姐姐的老朋友、媒体界的朋友等等。
我很想说，你们很棒，可以写到榜上有名哦~~~
这一个名单里，还有分类的咧，有时事政治的、报人的、言论的.......有的年纪轻轻就可以写出一篇篇的好文章，让我羡慕不已。只怪自己的文学修养不够，看得书不多...看来写作不是我的强项，还是陪我那火星朋友卖保险好了~~~

别放弃...
清醒的时候，我们常反省：为什么我们没对别人做些什么；
迷失的时候，我们常埋怨：为什么别人不为我们做些什么。
人往往就是要等事情发生过后，才开始想为什么当初自己没做好决定。也许思绪中自己是懂得很多东西的，可是就是偏偏在当下反应不过来，让情绪给控制了，忘了应该做的事。这。。是正常的！
IQ高的人未必EQ也高！EQ不够？不必烦恼，不要低落，只要你不停的学习提升自己各方面的知识和反应，不断更改，你终究会学好的。快或慢，那只是时间的问题。
要是你现在放弃，就算明天会发生奇迹，你也不会看见。
LIFE ENDS WHEN YOU STOP TRYING.
