Olympics

Haven't written anything for a while, there are actually A LOT that I wanted to say, but just too tired or lazy to write about.Let me start with the Olympics ...

Olympics is a supposed to be a pure sports event and now (for the past many years as well) had been a commercial event which people will use this opportunity to make big money. I am not against it, just that don't just focus on making big money is good enough. I heard that usually the host country themselves NEVER make money from the Olympics (except the Sydney Olympics), but other people doing olympic related products or merchandises, travel agents, airlines, hotels etc… these are making good money.

Anyway.. this year..it comes to politics. I hate to see this happening on my motherland. On 1 side I know China has huge problem about humanity issues, the other side I hate the other countries use this reason to elaborate and to make a big fuss about it then use this 'opportunity' to step on China. These are just politic tools. So here comes my question again, I thought we are doing a sports event, do we really need to have all these protests to target China? Can the Olympic fire just have a safe trip to it's destination and have this game running? This is just simply 趁火打劫. I ain't saying China is right, never, just that I don't think it should be tagged with the Olympics.

Now I hate watching news, everyday are different various protests about Tibet (well that's another story). I hate to see foreign media using fake pictures claimed to be real and make up stories. I hate people not really seeing the whole story, kept saying China use violence to attack the tibetians. We all can see people were messing around Tibet and the cops just trying to stop this.

And you know what, because Tibet is a sensitive topic, and because of Dala, and because of the 'reputation' of China, all the blame should go to the China government, no matter who started the fight. And western countries do LOVE to see this. China economy has been growing too fast and too well (again, not talking about the people who livein poverty in villages. In fact those foreign country politicans won't care less), so of course it's just a GREAT opportunity to harm the Chinese and to make it slow down. Who will want to miss this chance?

Sunday is a Working Day!

今天被迫回到公司開會，因為部門有很urgent的事務要處理，而老細想我幫手參與。

會議時間應該是十時開始，十時二十分客人才到達。一眾高層們立刻迎接，由於星期日沒有阿姐返工，於是乎全場最小薯仔的我要負責斟茶遞水。我發覺，原來我不懂沖咖啡!!! XDDD

Anyway...不知怎的大大老細們想先和客人開一個會，談點 "宏觀"的，然後才到我們談 executional level 的東西，所以我和我老細都避趕了出來。老細口中唸唸有詞，主要說到那女高層好麻煩，又要我替她沖咖啡 (他好像比我還要生氣)，噢是的，客人只想喝暖水，那八婆卻要咖啡!!! 不過最後我都只給了她一杯中國茶，因為我沖的咖啡不是很成功!!!! :P

So... 回到坐位，唔知做乜... 等一陣再開會，不過不知要等多久所以決定寫低這段心路歷程。

多謝各位收看!!

我最不喜歡的類型

我見很女博客都會說香港男人有甚麼不好，然後男士們又反擊說港女又怎樣怎樣。我覺得地域性歧視是很不要得，難度外國回來的/外地的就甚麼都好?!? 所以我覺得不應這麼說，要說不如就讓我試談概括來說最不起歡男人的哪十項事件?

亦可說是擁有以下這些特點的男士我都一定不會愛上他…

(排名不分先後)
1. 手指尾留長手甲
2. 說話滔滔不絕，有如黃河泛濫，一發不好收拾
3. 只懂說投資，開口埋口投資，然後告訴你他多有心得，你應該怎樣向他學習或他一意孤行的要你聽他意見
4. 對時事(股票新聞除外)/文化藝術一點都不認識
5. 中文比我還要差(如他是香港長大的話)
6. 你跟他發牢騷(牢騷不關於他)時，他會用一至兩小時認真解釋你為什麼不應這樣，又如他是你他會怎樣 (但其實你原本只想爆一兩句粗就講完這題目)，然後你悶到發呆…
7. 你說甚麼話題他都搭咀，甚麼都懂(自以為)，甚麼都認為自己好權威(亦是自以為)
8. 斤斤計較，甚麼都計到盡，慌死蝕抵，但又要裝上等人
9. 瘦猛猛(不是問題)，但又不運動，只懂上網/打機
10. 肌肉發達，頭腦簡單，太大隻好難頂… (這個純粹個人意見)

P.S. 請記住，這只說出我不喜歡的類型，別人可不需要認同，純粹個人意見! 咁你呢?? 你又甚麼"不喜歡的top ten" ? XDDD

Hiromi - Fusion Jazz (this is not a review hahaa)

Went to Hiromi's concert of the HK Art Festival. The concert was on fusion jazz, this is actually my first time going to a fusion jazz concert. I had only been to jazz bars for standard jazz performance and of course those standard jazz are more easily digested, just like the ones that we always listened to in coffee shops.

As I'm so new to fusion electronic jazz, my comments are 'I did not feel boring' and 'it's very interesting' and 'I think I'll be interested to know more about these' and 'it's good to be so carefree and to express the emotions thoroughly like Hiromi on the stage'. I would say it's a pleasant concert, but I don't know anything 'technical' to talk about this concert!! But I do have a funny side story…..

In the middle of the show I felt busting, wanted to go to the loo, I told my friend, 'shxt, I think I gotta go to the loo', my friend went, 'it's the song that makes you wanna go to the loo or you just wanted to go?'I was kinda paused for a sec, 'what ?! .. ' I was thinking why there would be such a question?!?

Then after the concert we had a after-performance talk at a bar and we had some discussion about what we think towards the show. And then I asked him why on earth he asked me such a weird question about 'wanting to go to the loo'. He told me for ppl who do really know jazz, and if they can't really digest the jazz, these song will easily made ppl wanting to go to toilet, because the song sometimes made you feel like it runs very fast and u dunno how fast it's going to be running, and when is it gonna end.

I was totally amazed about this 'theory', but he's really serious about that. Then I was thinking, yeah, maybe the song seems like going really fast (the beat, the drum, the piano) and in your psychological mind it made you want catch up, and excited and eventually made you want to pee. Similar to the case that many people feel like they wanted to go for a pee before exams or before performance, because they feel nervous or sometimes too excited. I suppose these behavour are having some common psychological theory behind. ^.^

Friend told me that if he listens to other harder-to-digest jazz , made him wanted to pee tooand he said last time he went together with 2 other friends, they are also new to jazz, and 1 of the guy told him he actually wanted to go for a POO.I'm sorry it's not a review of the Hiromi concert, it's something pretty stupid that wanna share with others only haha!!! XDDDDD

"Le Petit Prince" - Musical

Watched "The Little Prince" musical at the cultural centre last Friday. It was really good, the songs, the singing, the whole thing is very angelic.

2 of the songs that made me drop my tears are 'Beside Her' and 'Earth'. Little Prince sang it with the angelic voice, expressing his love towards the rose, very pure, very innocent. When the aviator sang the song 'Earth', I was moved by the atmosphere that he had created, can really feel that the universe, the earth, our human beings, are all such incredible creations and how amazing that God that created all these.

And of course, at the end when the Little Prince has flown away, my tears dropped again, though the song tells that we shall meet again, and we still have eternity afterwards.

I never thought that the Little Prince is a book for children, it's so inspiring and heartaching that I would think it's definitely for adults. It gives us the opportunity to rethink our lives, have we been missing out anything? have we been spending time and effort on things that are not suppose to be the core in our lives? what's the actual use of get 53min free by taking the stop thirsty drug? have we put our focus wrongly?

Shall we just live our lives like the little prince, to be pure & innocent, to be loyal to your heart, to love & to be loved? Blindly chasing for 'better' things will just lead us to a dead end, as there will always be 'better'.

It's the time that you had spend on your rose that makes your rose so important ….
