很累的一天﹗不知何故，這兩天的食客數量大幅增加，簡直上氣不接下氣，本來，在六時的時候，人數很少，我還和一位同事猜一猜今晚的人數，大家都預期人數有限，最多至七成，到最後，全場爆滿，且人潮浪接浪，剛走了又入新的水魚，真的一雞死、一雞鳴。可憐的waiters叫苦連天﹗
剛看到一則新聞，在Adelaide發生shark咬死人的新聞，於是我便到Advertiser (一著名的南澳報紙網站)看看，事發地點，居然是west beach，而且不只一次，有一則舊聞，寫著I keep a diary... and I've only seen one every few years. Last year I saw two and this year I've seen seven and had four reported to me off the beach. It's not a nice feeling when you see them." Fred Annesley 證明那裏的shark數目節節上升，剛巧，香港各大戲院正上映 The Shark Tale (那一講shark的卡通片)，可惜的是，真正的shark並不會這麼搞鬼、不會跟人們開玩笑的，更不會唱歌跳舞，只會「搵食」，而人類亦一樣，如果只顧「搵食搵錢」而置什麼道德、親情不顧，那麼這些人，根本和shark沒有不同，不配為人也﹗
數天前，又遇到一個日本食客，她很nice，但講的英語真的令人摸不著頭腦，alcohol，讀成「呀call呵」，我還在想是日語還是英語呢﹖最致命的是她連Cantonese這個字亦聽不明白，為她落單足足花了五分鐘才成事﹗而餐館裏的食客，每天都有不精廣東話的人，有一次，有位小姐聲稱「打煲」，我想了一會兒，才明白她想「打包」拎走﹗一次，另一位小姐聲稱要「矛單」原來是埋單﹗心想，一些「鬼佬」都說得準這兩個字十陪，這位中國小姐有病冇﹖
一直都很想出街玩，但我相信兩個月的時間很快過，過了便可以狂歡吧﹗戰鬥到底﹗
再說澳洲，在Adelaide，所有beach都是十分natural，不設防鯊網，但事故卻偶有發生，West Beach已經有多次的事故，我剛到澳洲時便住在這區，但只在灘邊走過，而從未下個水，那裏的浪很大，很多人到此地滑浪，而剛被shark咬死的便是一名滑浪愛好者，很可笑，當地政府正debate要不要殺死這批shark，因為這些動物，是數量有限的珍品﹗有一則報道如下﹕
Shark attack victim's family against kill order
The father of a teenager taken by a shark while swimming at an Adelaide beach yesterday says the family does not advocate the killing of any sharks.
Nick Peterson, 18, was killed by a shark at West Point beach while riding a surf board behind a boat.
The South Australian Government has authorised police and wildlife officers to destroy the shark.
But the victim's father, Philip Peterson, says the Government should instead electronically tag sharks known to inhabit metropolitan beaches.
"We acknowledge that the sea is in fact the shark's domain and we don't, and I certainly personally don't, advocate the indiscriminate killing of any shark," he said.
"In this case I gather it's a white pointer or white pointers, but at the same time we would like to see funds provided to make our beach safer consistently without argument."
South Australian Acting Premier Kevin Foley says the Government believes the great white should be killed even though it is a protected species.
He has also announced increased surveillance in the area and on the beach.
Police have confirmed material found earlier today is not the remains of Mr Peterson.
Friends and loved ones of Mr Peterson have held a night-time vigil at the beach where he was taken.
One of the three boys who tried frantically to fight the shark off says the crowd of about 50 people met on the shore to share memories of a friend.
Rather than speak about the incident, Andrew Tomlin says he and his friends reflected on Mr Peterson's love of life - which he says holds a message for them all.
"It was just cherish the moments you've got with your mates, because we have so far and we're going to do that, because I mean he was with us and we were having fun every day, and then now he's gone," he said.
Kill order
Police and fisheries officers have been given the authority to kill the white pointer which took Mr Peterson, or any other large shark posing a threat to human life.
The Opposition supports destroying dangerous sharks - Liberal leader Rob Kerin has urged the State Government to maintain shark patrols during the summer.
But Fisheries Department chief Will Zacharin says public safety, not vengeance, will guide them.
"We're not on a hunt here, we're about beach safety and we'll be patrolling those areas to see if there are any large sharks onshore," he said. "If we have to respond we will."
Police are warning anyone who is planning to hunt and kill the protected species themselves will face the full force of the law.
South Australian Conservation Council president Jane Corin says nothing will be achieved if the white pointer is hunted down.
"If we keep killing the sharks, that species will be removed from our seas," she said.
"It is a top predator and plays a major role in keeping the seas free from disease and injured animals.
"It's not a course of action that any government should be advised to take."
Sea Rescue Squadron searchers earlier spotted a four-metre shark close to shore a few kilometres north at Grange (一地方名).
突然想起，已很久很久沒看過歷史的書本了，大概已遺忘了很多以前所學所愛的東西，來年，我一定會用空餘的時間作自我進修的，雖然讀的科目以至將來的工作都用不上，但為了自己的興趣、夢想，我還是會想起「它」的，一科曾帶給我讀書原動力、榮譽、快樂的科目~~~~I will never give up !!!
