Here comes the 4-day weekend.
Been to Sino with Sadie last night and then we had dinner at Langham. I was happy to hear him saying he likes teaching finally. Kids need good teachers. They are just very important as guidance during students' teenage. It needs far more than knowledge to make a good teacher.

back to school
The company annual dinner last night was fun.

Back to 63A Bonham Road this morning. It was really hard for me to get up that early. The school had changed so much that I just couldn't imagine I had been going there. Anyway I don't really care. Despite that I looked for Mrs Yung and had a chat with her. She is the teacher I respect most.
Met Yeung and Ah Mat and some other old schoolmates. When you see the people you grow up with are pursuing such diverging paths in their lives you just couldn't help......... contemplate and contemplate and contemplate.
In need of energy and vision. A lot of.

Batigol
Batistuta retires. I would miss him.
To me he was an icon of masculinity even in the realm of men's soccer. Whenever on the pitch, he had always been the most powerful and influencial player. Though from Argentina he was not the super agile type of typical South American players. Instead he made himself unstoppable by knocking down defenders with his body and shooting the ball as if firing a cannon.
It was the first time I watched a soccer match in a bar when I witnessed his hat-trick in Argentina's 5-0 win against Jamaica in World Cup 1998. Then in 2002 it broke my heart when his team was eliminated by Becks' penalty kick.
I just couldn't think of somebody comparable to him. Maybe Sheva is close.

A pic
曾蔭權看著曾蔭培退休前最後一次檢閱警隊，一時感觸，摟著弟弟哭起來。這照片令我有些感動。
原來曾蔭權曾蔭培仲有個妹係渣打director。Their parents must be the smartest couple in the last 50 years.

New era for the city
Tung finally stepped down. Wrong time again though. Anyway it should be a relief for him after 7 pathetic years - finally he was all smiles at the end of the press conference.
Taking up a responsibility that requires more than your utmost ability is such a big mistake. The job is even harder when you are in a place where the smartest people are never politicians nor government officials. Maybe that's the reason for the only thing he could do was to work long hours.
Anyway being the chief of 7 million people is a once in a billion experience. Looking back, it was something really. Lucky him.

Beatmania
Played some beatmania. I think Konami had already stopped developing this series and it's hard to find one machine in arcade games centres now. The music series were once so popular but now they are all substituted by the save card type of games.

Heard that dressed like a Japanese is out and girls should dress like ABCs. Skinny ladies in sexy tops and hotpants that keep saying their favorite hobby is clubbing. Yuck yuck yuck.

Staying inactive is harder than being active. How true. Indeed.

Guestbook
I somehow remembered that I had a guestbook for my previous pages. Viewed that again today and found that it has been ages sinced I opened it.
The latest entry was nice. I didn't know how that guy found the page and leave the message at that time when I didn't have the link posted anywhere.
I once cared about this guestbook very much.

Training sessions are meant for making people sleep.
Wonderful time at the CD store with V after that.
And the karaoke.

Weekend
Spent today with some kids in the company community service project. Being with them rejuvenated me while also made me think a lot. I don't understand why they are so obsessed with online games and McDonalds. Anyway I was one of this type. But we were all the same while today some could only stick with their games and televisions and at the same time some attend interest classes every day and go travel every year.

Been to Mongkok often recently. Rediscovered Sino Centre in which I found a nice DVD store. They even have Buster Keaton movies. I bought some FF and Pet Shop Boys.

They say if Donald Tsang is taking up the Chief Executive post he would probably abandon the existing plans and switch back to English teaching. If that is going to the case please make him Chief Executive.
---
We keep saying Hongkong is an international city and it's obviously crap. Please stop those self-assuring nonsense like analyzing the viewpoints on our local issues from other countries. I don't think they'd care about our stuff.
You could tell the answer from one single thing. When artists tour around the world they rarely stop Hongkong but Tokyo and Singapore almost every time.

陳昇
近來成日勦以前買落d碟聽，今日出門口之前?番隻魔鬼的情詩II，有我勁喜歡的summer、恨情歌等等，即帶回office回味回味。
記得我同幾個中學同學那時很迷陳昇。他的歌很男人，而且都是動人的篇章。如果閣下心目中的陳昇只限那首淪為愛情蒲公英系列的把悲傷留給自己，那實在是對他的侮辱。雖他的外型實在7到無人有，但聽了他的歌你就會重新發覺，真正歌手根本是不應故慮外型的。
那日在旺角看見他新的回顧大碟。我想我最喜歡的還是這厥歌--很久無聽了，今日earphone傳來intro那節旋律時，竟禁不住心中悸動。
關於男人
詞 陳昇 曲 楊騰佑
有時候我會欺瞞我自己 或者迷失在無謂的歡娛遊戲中
有天我老去 在個陌生的地方
還要回味昨日冒險的旅程
其實我也經常討厭我自己 或者我怪罪我生存的時代
努力的找理由 解釋男人的驛動
也常常一個人躲藏起來
我聽說男人是用土做的 身子裡少了塊骨頭
他們用腦子來思考 有顆飄移的心
妳知道男人是大一點的孩子 永遠都管不了自己
張著眼睛來說謊 也心慌的哭泣
面對著不言不語的臉孔 誰也不知道男人是怎麼了
漫漫的旅程路途還遙遠 偶而也懷疑自己是否該向前
慾望的門已開 夢的草原沒有盡頭
夢裡憂鬱的花香飄浮在風中
你知道男人是用土做的 掉眼淚就融化一些
所以是殘缺的軀體 沒有絕對完美
你知道男人是大一點的孩子 永遠都管不了自己
張著眼睛來說謊 也心慌的哭泣
面對著不言不語的臉孔 誰也不知道男人是怎麼了
沒有玩具的孩子最落寞 可是沒有夢的男人是什麼
慾望的門已開 夢的草原沒有盡頭
風裡有些雨絲沾上了眼眸
告別的汽笛聲輕輕的又響起了
生命的列車滑過了妳心田
Wine, Woman and War 是男人的最愛
我只想靜靜的躺在妳身邊
漫漫的旅程終點在哪裡 偶而也懷疑自己是否該向前
慾望的門已開 夢的草原沒有盡頭
夢裡憂鬱的花香飄浮在風中

Choose life
The very first line in Trainspotting.
I like hanging out with my aunt. Last time when she came back I remember she once said this - 'Now we don't have much to choose from though we have a seemingly better living standard. If not Park'n Shop then Wellcome. If not Watsons then Mannings. And you say we have something to choose from?'
I kept thinking about this recently.
When Internal Affairs ruled, most of the locally produced movies were about undercovers. And now everything is about Kung Fu. When singers start getting popular, people make them in every single event and TV shows/produce several albums (with very few songs) within a short time/make them cover other singers' songs.
After some time we are all fed up with those and then they would be dumped and new stuff come out. This kind of cycle is getting shorter because everybody wants to benefit from the new idea and pushes really hard at the same time.
A very good example is Leo Ku. His hit songs were obviously overrated and 'over-played' by the media. Let's see when he would be used up.
