Let's smile


Actually, do you know what it is?

Cup of venti coffee


Ten years ago, I once visited the art exhibition of my friend in Prince Building, seeing a foreign guy holding a big cup of coffee at 17.45 heading to his work again. I told myself, what a coffee-addict he is. Now, I am a coffee-addict, too! A cup of coffee wakes me up in the afternoon, or after lunch. I am glad that I can enjoy this venti latte with a free am post in a leisure afternoon. Perhaps, life can be somewhat likes this.

My latest toy


Hurray! My Canon400D got its battery grip BG-E3 and a Tamron F28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di! Though not as stunning as with the grey Canon F/70-200mm, very capable to fulfil special duties at reasonable price.

Good time with good friends



Good food is just an excuse, I treasure every moment with my best friends. Cheers! Another happy Friday again. Dear H & R, got to have another gathering just to compensate my absence of the latter half of the last evening, okay? ;)

We are the Champion

MV: WE WILL ROCK YOU + WE ARE THE CHAMPION
WE ARE THE CHAMPION
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
and I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses no pleasure cruise
and I consider it a challenge before all human race
That I'll never lose
And I need to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

We are the champions - my friends
And We'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

Sandy Lam in concert 2007






As her die-hard fans for years, bought ticket at once even though no friend is available to join me tonight. This concert is quite different from her past concerts, away from HK Stadium but taken place at HITEC, no guest singers, produced by a team consisting a number of Japanese musicians, great musicians on percussions, Angelita Li and Patrick Lui as the vocal, etc. I like this concert more than her last two, more blues and her best works in new arrangement. Most impressive ones are 哭 and 願, with pipa, erhu and violin, giving a new taste in the music. Songs chosen are widely spread from her earliest album to latest, not much works by her ex-husband, Jonathan Lee, well, it's understandable. More songs selected from her 都市觸覺 series, which are still her most famous works. Before the break, two and the only two exciting songs 逃離鋼筋森林 and 芝加哥的故事 brought the atmosphere to highest. Afterwards, the songs are more sentimental and touching. I was very moved on her songs in the second half of her concert. Sandy played on the keyboard for few songs! One more credit should be given to the multimedia effect on the stage, light and stage design are minimal in style, good combination with Sandy's low profile image. Glad to have such an unforgettable concert!

Yayoi Kusama in HK






Yayoi Kusama (草間彌生), a very famous Japanese artist who has a special keen in pumpkin. However, the curators of this show seems define this artist as a pumpkin-artist so as to be one of the programme for the upcoming Halloween. How can the HK people treat Yayoi Kusama as a common artist? Look for her details!

New Oliva near my home


A rather famous Italian restaurant starts its business few months ago. Nice shop design but... will I have meal here with myself? Umm.....
