你也不过是个旅客


有“紧张大师”之称的著名导演希区柯克有次在苏格兰山区迷了路。

不知走了多久才在漆黑的夜空见到一盏灯火。

他定睛一看:原来是一户人家,立刻兴奋地奔上前去。

“我家又不是旅店!” 屋主听到他所提出借宿一晚的要求后,立刻板着脸拒绝。

“我只要问你3个问题,就可以证明这屋子就是旅店!” 他笑着说道。

“我不信,倘若你能说服我,我就让你进门。” 屋主也爽快回答。

“在你以前谁住在此处?” “家父!”

“在令尊之前,又是谁当主人?” “我祖父!”

“如果阁下过世,它又是谁的呀?” “我儿子!”

“这不就结了!” 导演笑道,“你不过是暂时居住在这儿,也像我一样是旅客。”

结果,当晚他就在屋里舒舒服服地睡了一觉。


人生如白驹过隙,在历史长河中每个人都如匆匆的过客。

Nescafe


I have always like to compare products from different countries.

Here, you can see Nescafe can drinks from three different countries, namely Malaysia, Hong Kong and Korea.

The Korea Nescafe can drink was bought from Malaysia at a Korean Grocery Store whilst the Hong Kong Nescafe can drink was bought from Hong Kong which (if not mistaken) costs me double the price in Malaysia.

All of them tasted essentially the same, but i find that our Nescafe tasted slightly sweeter as compared to the rest.


Here, you can see Nescafe sachets from South Africa.

These were provided by some of the hotels in South Africa to their hotel guests.

You can see the word "special filtre" on their packaging.

The last two sachets are Nestle creamer, which are known as Cremora creamer in South Africa.
