Mobile phone seems to be a must to most people nowadays. But thinking back to 10 to 15 years ago, that was really a pretty new idea. Pagers were the top toys in town back then. I remember there was time everyone has a pager or two. Every time we’ve been paged, we look for a phone to return calls or get the information like crazy. The most desperate situation is finding a phone with the note on top saying something like “for internal use” or “does not lend”. The scene has change completely in these years, beside the basic function a mobile phone can provides i.e. making a phone call and receiving phone call, It provides a wide range of functions; most commonly are such as digital camera or PDA function. And it out-looks are changing in months, sometimes faster than any clothes.
The step from pager to mobile phone could be a giant step ahead to connecting people together. But I doubt about any of these additional function has anything to do with connecting people together. Besides, did you ask yourself without the existence of mobile phone, does you life really change much or you just give in to the function of a mobile phone provides. Are we making our calls to the very last minute, are we more reluctant to make any decision where it should be making lot more earlier and etc. None of these have anything to with connecting people but on the contra, it pulls us apart and reverses our order of priority instead.
Seeing the Adidas and Puma are getting trendy again, I am expecting someday maybe the low-tech mobile phone with mono display will once embrace by the majority. Since I have one of these in use.

Best of You?
Recently, listening to one of my favorite bands, there comes a song called “Best of U”. This song instantly “click” me to the movie called “After the Sunset”. Inside the movie, I remember there was a section actually discussing “the best (moment) of you”; like when was that, when will it be and etc.
I remember there was a time I can’t get along with soccer player who was senior than me in a great deal (you know what that’s mean). It seems they are heading nowhere but terminal. Their less energetic and/or physical playing style in the pitch, and the worst is they can’t even survive a 90 minutes game. Look around the soccer pitch now; it could hardly find anyone who could fit into the category of “senior than me in a great deal”. Looks who is the terminal player now, who finds it hard to survive a 90 minutes game, who is the one stopping youngster appearance.
Talking with friend recently, we all felt time shows no mercy on us at all. Hardly imagine would there still be anything “best” could actually happens from now on. It seems “maintenance” is a much proper word instead.

Self image?
Probably after reading a friend’s blog knowing that I am actually a rather 浮誇 person in heart. Well, it just stuns my face. All I can pray for, the analysis is wrong.
Have to say extreme sports programmes always excite me, probably because I believe we only have one life and why not try some craziest idea and make this life more fun or worthwhile. Getting old with tones of regards is the worst kind of punishment ever (of course only apply to where I can choose la). Last night, I watched a programme saying the “Red Arrow” of Royal Air Force (RAF) - demonstration flight pilot team who perform the extremist flight during Air Craft Exhibition or any special occasion i.e. Queen’s Birthday, etc. One of the element they will look from the candidate is no one should be the type of person who enjoy spot light very much. This is the element will make them cannot resist the attempt to show off from time to time and eventually causing huge mistake instead.
In fact, I been told by friends that tees with big logo is the worst kind. Now, it proofs they should have read the analysis before me and nothing more! Hummm…
Being a 港燦 + 浮誇, probably has a lot to catch up with the RAF requirement. Got to find something where a 港燦 + 浮誇 person can out play the rest of the personality type. Let me think what should I be lah???

Maltesers vs. Kit Kat
The consumption of Maltesers has increased recently, probably because the discount coupon for tickets of UA line cinemas.
The stuff insides Maltesers always excite every single kid and sometime even adults From its advertisement knowing it is a kind of brown sweet thing; don’t know what it calls and where it’s from. But it just elevates Maltesers from the rest of the chocolate snacks plus the crunch it provides from the sweet brown stuff inside. It crowned “my favorite snack” in chocolate category for a several consecutive years untouched.
Until someday Kit Kat joins the fight with its chocolate wrapped wafer; no rocket science inside but smartly packing the simplest thing in the right size and dressed it with an eyes catching suit. It makes huge success since it lunched the market. The battle for chocolate lover has become sever everyday recently since the health concern atmosphere storm these companies without any warning in advance.
Since both have lunched the market long enough however their fight continue on. The advertisement of Kit Kat shows a lead for a day or two with its idea to link the “Time Out” time and “weir things” do happen during time out break into its’ advertisement. On the other hand, Maltesers’ one seems fail to scratch something out to remind us its uniqueness (the sweet brown stuff inside) in order to impress ones.
Knowing the chocolate supply is dominated by few giant suppliers, both Maltesers and Kit Kat might actually under one supplier. But from the product level, each is competitor of its own market and trying to capitalize as much as possible (although just a tiny one currently).
Besides the fact is “sweet thing” does give us the feeling of pleasant and happy from time to time. And the actual expenditure reduction does come more solid than any image trying to impose on it.
Ah! Which movies I should watch this time? Hum… Let me see…:)

Where r u?
Owning to numerous reunions recently, lots of strange faces, lots of familiar faces and lots of pretty strange but familiar faces etc.
Out of those faces there are obviously missing faces. Learned from a friend of mine, the stunning news updated seems to be a familiar face had committed suicide more than ten years ago aboard. Memories are just pouring and pouring. He was a senior with a constant smiling face. Met at a curriculum activities in school, not very close indeed but always where the attention is. No idea what went so bad or wrong that date and probably nobody did.
Although this is closest one but these kind of thing is never new. INXS is not actually “the favorite” band. Just know that one of its member actually spend his entire childhood in Hong Kong studying in KGV back then. Maybe this kind of background speaks the differences. Although only couple of songs could be named, but one is particular remembering – “Elegantly Wasted”. The single released by the time their vocal Michael Hutchence committed suicide back in 22Nov1997. When there is a sudden end, mystery is always attached. But the truth is out there pretty much left untouched.
8April94 was a tragic day to the world of grunge music where Kurt Cobain of Nirvana committed suicide. The whole world was shocking and the crown of grunge has long gone since then. Following Soundgraden has left its battlefield and Smashing Pumpkins has changed it arena and etc. This is always a sad thing to learn but this is what it is – the next wave is always there. Nothing will be around forever.
Treasure what u has and blessing what u got. If you cherish someone around u, let them know and don’t wait until it is too late.
Which date was your best date? “Tomorrow will be the best day of mine”

Derek Who?
Derek Kwik? Who is it? Just a banana I guess…
Remember couple years ago this name was on the “footprint” - a membership magazine from SPCA (Society Prevention of Cruelty Association). It said something like “support Derek Kwik to raise money for SPCA” saying that Derek will join a race and please support by donate something to Derek to finish every single stage. Driven by curiosity, did check on the race and found it was pretty fun race and looking forward someday there might be “Mr. J - the potato” etc.
It is a race where crossing deserts with virtually very limited support and etc. knowing Derek has trained with his backpack on (putting pounds of rice inside to stimulate the actually weight of his survival gears) and running from this to there including on treadmill and etc. for couple times a week, it last for almost a year before the race, Derek even named his backpack as “little Derek” which comes next to his girlfriend and his little dog. This year log on the same wed site again and found Derek had finished 4 desert races already and make his way to the post of Chief Operating Officer and still joining the race himself to raise money for SPCA and etc. Check out their info on www.racingtheplanet.com; a pretty interesting site and lots of interesting people joining the race for various reasons. By the way, almost half of the management team actually from Hong Kong. Ops, but none is actually a Hong Kong native. Hum…
ltj has to finish his degree earlier and start meeting real people out there. Leaving behind specialist in overtime records and sprinting crown of corridors.

Rule of Defense
As ‘vegetarian’ school’s production, soccer is never a stranger.
During the early days of this encounter, there was a time of frustration and depression. Knowing it is one of the compulsory subjects and none of the background can actually provide any privilege in this arena. Times is gonna be tough.
Like any other poor kids, the only line up left is at the very back of the team. Kids with fancy legs always got his spot in the very front line – striker. Poor kids can only be defenders or sometime even worse – goalkeeper (come on, it’s a sport of legs not hands, god sake! Not again!). Eventually, defender becomes the cradle of soccer.
No idea it was obsession with the ‘vegetarian’ school days or just having zero creativity at all. The starting line up doesn’t change much over times. To be honest, this kind of thing is pissing from time to time. But can’t remember since when, this feeling has gone for good.
Goal, of course is exciting; especially for those who have the final magic touch (unless it was an “own goal”). However, over the years, developed a kind of “not my type" to those strikers. They all seems to be “free riders” to the team; enjoy too much credits for their goals and taking virtually zero responsibility to the losses. Feeding them with numerous opportunities like parents to sons. But it stills no way to compare with their appetite. Their quickness and creativity are eyes catching. However, dependability, reliability and the ability to tell things in greater perspective are more impressive than the pursuit of individual glories. Challenges toward intruders - strikers, it is like “you are in the land of mine @#%”, and has to get into the heads of them, challenge their thoughts, their quickness and most exciting of all - their intelligent. It is like a fire ball in head, the most rewarding results will be "I got you @$%”, “ask me before you shoot, you @#%”, “you are in the hand of mine”, “you underestimate me, do you? @#%”, “done your homework” and etc. Defenders are like holding the world on their shoulders and wouldn’t afford drop it no matter what. Have to maintain focus and putting 120% efforts to meet these challenges, regrouping and strike back.
Baresi, thanks for redefining the game.
