local master of copying
i'm not discussing how janice sings. but there's an article saying his producer copying a song from my favourite band. what i really wanna say is the guy really knows the world music much and used for producing local music. he's so damned clever. and those love music made by him are...
lucky not to work in toy factory?
there's one more reason for not choosing the car toy factory. today's newspaper said that prostitutes have moved from mong kok to tsim sha tsui east where the factory's office is at there. i don't like to leave there with those "ladys" not just standing around, but blocking my way to make me use their "service"... sounds like disgusting.

windows live messenger beta
the latest, should be the last one before release candidate was out (get the beta access right here).
this one is much kinda cooler than previous one. at least for a three-year ago pc. it takes half less memory and more functions are provided. another thing can be found by me (because the windows sound system has been crapped by ccleaner), it uses another way to drive sound out!
but one drawback is mine cannot operate when it starts with pc booting. it's needed to be closed and started again. maybe this is being affected by startright.

latest 24
after a dull lesson on induction and risk management (but it's kinda cool when i could leave earlier, slept between the lesson, and had tea when i slipped to the old place which is downstairs), i went straight back home to watch latest 24. and...
- james morrison was so fit (he's a yoga teacher in real life) when he wore sweater to show bill buchanan was resting at home to cover chloe had been here. i think he can get some more as a model of american apparel.
- how can jack get cell phone signals on the sky? all signal transmitters should point to ground.
- mike the chief of staff becomes messenger of mr & mrs president...
- so damned stupid miles found mike for help. first is mike has no real power, second is mike closes to jack instead of you, miles.
- paul mccrane is suitable to act as a bad guy, from er to now 24.
- 2 lol points: logan said jack is desperate. the real thing is jack's always desperate; there's no secure line on the earth. even the one by ctu was hacked!
company's singing contest
there was a singing contest final held by company on second last sunday of april for the first time. 16 from every departments were selected to perform on stage at academic community hall, and one of them is my friend, ball. he had 20 tickets while i also got my extra two being as staff. my friend called his schoolmates, family and his girlfriend to support. for my extra ticket, with a bit unexpected (seems not have another chance), carmen joined me to watch the contest (as i told her there was a guest). she was so lovely beautiful, just like a perfect princess in my mind.
those finalists were formed in four groups. not only had they performed their own selected song, but also needed to have a group competition with the prize of a mp3 player. dancing was competited in my friend's group while others chose other things. and my friend's performance was better in that group competition than his selected song. his vocal cord was sleeping at that night so that he lost the contest. the champion was performing with support from music of guitar while the voice of first runner up was very simialr to jacky cheung. and all performers were very professional, better than most of local pop singers.
after all performance, 2 seniors from our bank sang four songs before our honoured guest densie ho (a bit late come) to perform. two songs were sung while the first one i never heard before and really could not catch up what she sang. btw the hosts (sara lee & william lam from metro broadcast) did a good job that night.
after the contest, we two took dinner together at a shanghaiese restaurant at mongkok but a bit disappointed on the food before going back home.

bad day
after 4 weeks of no 1 in billboard (5 weeks now, with reasons - warner music did a lot of stuff), bad day is promoted again in hong kong with new ad focusing on the mv featuring samarie armstrong (anna stern in the o.c.; btw, she's back in the o.c.!!!).
but don't forget the album was released last year. there are so many similar cases in music industry actually, like dido. she's really getting pop after eminem used "thank you" as background of stan even her music "here with me" has already used in roswell.

spending too much since this year
like last month:
- weddin' dinner - $500
first person i know in our age range getting married. they are couples for more than four years and just got a flat with down payment support of their parents (30% of flat price?). the dinner was cool. food was good but the servants were not enough. - game cd wanted too long
after i got the salary from new job, first thing to buy is rome: total war - barbarian invasion. while no more copies were found in the city, i bought the parallel imported one from thailand. but i think i should buy it from amazonwhere the price was just the same.
- music cds
also got them after the salary. first one is bed to bedlam from james blunt. another is from jack johnson again, OST for curious george which was not shown in hk cinemas which actually using jack for one of the covers. all songs are cool in blunt's album while i especially love "talk of the town" in that OST. - ipod applecare for sister's ipod
bought that for her because hers is expensive and easily broken (fourth generation ipod photo). but the warranty was already outdated in the database apple computer inc. so my sister phoned thier hotline and they asked to fax the proof (sales receipt) but the line is a foreign one which was hard to find a fax machine with IDD easily. finally parent of her classmate helped her.
btw here's the site to check how many remaining for your ipod warranty. - loan (for university student)
still need to pay $3xxx every quarter for near four years - food
spent too much for lunch this month eating in soho area. but one was a bit sad. we paid a temp clerk for lunch before her resign as she hurt her recovered spinal again during her work and the company cannot provide another easy-going position so that she needed to resign.

lemonade or lemon water
appledaily quoted our former chief justice yang said in the uk people said lemonade while lemon water is used in the us. but in wikipedia lemonade means different things in both countries. in america, it means uncarbonated drink but it is carbonated in britian and uncarbonated will be called as "real lemonade".
how about dessert, sweet and pudding? yang said lower class using sweet or dessert but not pudding. but in wikipedia, "Dessert is most commonly used in Hiberno-English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English and in French. Sweet, pudding or afters would be more typical in other variants of Commonwealth English for this course."
i'm not sure his definition on what and pardon is correct or not (he said what is from the mouth of blue blood). anyone can help?

policeman in dark
news ref: google news
let me have some background study:
motive: yes (finanical, career)
barrier to kill: no (after killin' colleague leung)
planning in the past: very good
planning of this time: suck (why did he choose tunnel? no covering when his target fighted against him like this time)
why did he steal gun from colleagues?: didn't know method to get one from dark side; could not bring gun out of the station after duty)
shooting skill: murder was good, policemen in patrol were not so good

stupid sales tax
our financial secretary and those studying how our tax comes urge for sales tax since nearly all developed economics have and also widen tax base. but this is the stupidest move after choosing tung chee hwa as our chief executive.
for lower class of society, they will be poorer on accumlated taxes as many know. there will be a big hit for our services and sales industry! we can get rid of regional shopping centre soon. no one from other places would wanna buy things here because redemption is a bit trouble.
but after depolyment, there may be a business found focusing on that. since sales tax will increase in coming future, those having foreign passports should group together and provide service to buy things for those not having to get the redemption. that's what the german guy i know did when he came back to germany to buy things with 16% sales tax and used his HKID for refund!
