Air NZ Safety Video

Air New Zealand 常出一些很有心思的safety videos，雖然時時飛的話還是會看厭，但我挺欣賞那創意和幽默。上一期是以Hobbits一戲作主題，今期是野外求生。其中我最喜歡的一期是人體彩繪畫成制服。簡單來說，所有出現的人都是頂著一副好身材全裸上陣 - 當然「重要的」地方沒有展示。

彩繪的制服，一不細心看真會以為是緊身布料衣裝，只是緊緻地貼在皮膚上到達沒法分開的程度。個人覺得美感非常強烈 - 那是藝術與優雅身段的混合啊！肌肉的紋理都呈現得恰恰好的樣子，沒有一點贅肉，沒有任何多餘的東西，每一分都在眼前卻絲毫沒有暴露的感覺。人體彩繪實在是很漂亮。

同一系列的不只有safety video，同時也在電視和電影院播放了廣告。廣告裏飛行員「穿」著彩繪走過，連老婆婆都轉頭再詳察一下，再挑一下眼眉。性感、直接，是一絶。
 

非誠勿擾

最近常看「非誠勿擾」這節目。很多人說是假的，是編好的故事。我不知道，但寧可相信是真的，相信有些人真的就這樣找到同渡餘生的伴侶。

其實節目本質上和我對愛情的信念差很遠。我的愛情只會從一天一天的了解中累積起來。一見鍾情也好，只看過幾次也好，從電視從微博單方面認識對方也好，都不是我相信的愛情。當然，這些男女嘉賓在節目中牽手離場後還是要互相認識才定下來的，但始終不是我那一套。

雖然這樣說，我是一點也不反對，而且相信這樣是會有好結果的。見到有人牽手離開，也會猜猜這一對能否一直走下去。

還有，好多女生還真的漂亮啦！而且有許多沒化濃妝上場，淡妝的家居模樣更美！

Aus Zealand

Haven written a blog for so long. I have been too busy at work and at home looking after Caelum. Today I have a little bit of time… actually no, I mean I just want to be lazy for a short while.

It’s London Olympic 2012 at the moment. Australia’s medal count is still low but basically they have secured the gold in 49ers so they will come upon New Zealand very soon – sad but true, ha. Nevertheless, the “Aus Zealand” thing is still too funny to be forgotten.

From The Media Machine Blog:

The Daily Telegraph has taken Australia’s obsession with gold (and beating New Zealand) to new and embarrassing heights.

In today’s Tele medal Tally (page 72) it creates a new country AUS ZEALAND that ranks as number nine, beating out North Korea in 10th place. This new country AUS ZEALAND has four gold, 12 silver and 11 bronze.

The official medal tally according to The Australian’s coverage actually has Australia in 24th place with one gold, 12 silver and seven bronze. Our neighbours New Zealand are cruising ahead in 14th place with three gold and four bronze.

Already MSN NZ sports Facebook fan page (which has 26, 477 likes) has lampooned us saying “Aus Zealand - The red-faced Aussies are trying to combine their Olympic medal haul with ours” and it brings to mind Andrew Denton and the cast of Live and Sweaty’s classic “I don’t care as long as we beat New Zealand”.

If you don’t succeed, just mess with the figures.

Since when New Zealand is no longer a country? O the imaginary place Aus Zealand.

Little cub

I can foresee Caelum saying this to me…

口味唔同

小姐，阿Rain有咩好呀。。。？！咁大隻。。。

點講都係水嶋ヒロ好啲。。。不過人家息影了。。。:(

Keystroke counter and wedding ring

Read the following from PostSecret today, it’s actually from a month ago, but I haven’t read PostSecret for a while. Read it, it’s actually very interesting.

[The following email was posted with permission. The wedding band has been removed and Federal Expressed back to the sender.]

Dear Frank,

This past week you should have received a postcard with a keystroke counter and a wedding ring. My husband used the keystroke counter to spy on me during my affair.

Is there anyway I can get my ring back? You can post the secret, maybe another person can learn from it, how much damage an affair can cause and how easy it is to be caught.

We're going through marriage counseling now and I'm trying to make amends. Neither of us wants to split our home and our two kids up because of a mistake I made.

Thank you very much.

On one hand I am glad that they are trying to work things out, on the other hand I am amazed with several things:

1. The ring actually got posted to PostSecret successfully – no one took it!
2. People use keystroke counter to spy on affairs?!
3. Neither of them want to split.

Overall it’s an interesting story to share.

眾說紛云

到底阿柏芝同阿霆鋒會唔會離婚，雖是城中熱話但仍係未知之數，不過係人都講到好似係自己啲親戚朋友離婚咁，連電台某節目於上星期都花咗啲時間喺空氣中同大家討論討論，仲非常多聽眾打電話去發表個人意見云云，分分鐘有討論價值過曾特首僭建。

記得威廉王子的世紀婚禮前後，老爸老媽都好知識豐富，對新人幾時識、幾時拍拖、幾時分過手、大學讀咩系、轉過咩科。。。大大小小嘅事都噏得出。我嗰時就笑話：「你哋個friend呀？定係鄰居呀？咁熟嘅？！」而家聽到電台啲聽眾講柏芝同霆鋒講到好似自己親戚朋友（首先，連姓都唔叫，friend到咁！），諗吓都真係覺得幾有趣。唔係話咩丫，隨時自己啲朋友離婚都無跟料跟得咁貼，亦都唔會analyse咁多，有咁多意見。

社會可能真係需要哩啲topic，減壓減壓。

Toy Story 3

Finally I have watched Toy Story 3 last night at home! It’s good, very touching.

“The clawwwww”~!

I love cartoons, but honestly I still prefer old school 2D ones more, e.g. my favourite Laputa. 3D is very cute, but sometimes they don’t feel like cartoons anymore. Oh, they are not called cartoons right? They are animations. I also love clay animation like Pingu.

藏馬

講起幽遊白書，我記得有一幕鴉調戲我個藏馬，喺佢後面摸佢啲頭髮，話有啲損傷要好好保養。呢一幕我嬲咗勁耐，調戲我個藏馬喎！我仲喺日記寫低有幾唔高興添呀！

外傳有麻彌喜多嵨，藏馬都有少少鍾意佢，豈有此理。懷著非常妒忌嘅心情，篇外傳我睇咗勁多次。

哎，我一向長情，對藏馬都唔例外，依然係我嘅夢中情人。

兒科醫生

友人在facebook貼出以下對話：

都市閒情主持人問兒科醫生：通常BB轉奶粉會出現乜野問題？ 
兒科醫生：通常問題出現在父母身上而不是BB，因為D父母會變得好憂慮。

此兒科醫生說得非常好，很正確。

忽然之間

Atlantis: Has it really finally been found?

Oh you cannot imagine how excited I was when I see this news, although it may turn out to be a false hope… well having said that, I am not 100% sure whether myself really want Atlantis to be found.

I had all these dreams about this lost city. Just love it.

謬誤

昨天和科學家談論一個謬誤，他竟無法相信我說「根本沒有騰空力」這回事。我立刻想起許多人認為買六合彩會認為買1,2,3,4,5,6中獎機會低些。有時人腦有太多東西和經驗，基本的很容易忘掉，並憑經驗反射性判斷事情，漠視知識。據某些生物學家說，相信謬誤是人生存系統的一部份，用於適應和迴避危險。

Hang Time – Is There Such A Thing?

國王無話兒

吃飯時老媽說起這戲名，果然母女心思一樣，一聽這名就立時想相同的東西：

邊個國王無JJ呀？！

改這個中文名字的人擺明是「玩嘢」，拿人家的片來開玩笑。你可以當我們思想過份，皆因歌也有得唱《毛主席的話兒記心上》，不過我相信刻意玩弄的成份較高。

你問林行止，他的書名為《說來話兒長》何故罷。

至於我為何這樣敏感，怪我小時候就看了《不文集》、《有味Joke》和《新有味Joke》吧。

韋小寶側頭欣賞這個「小」字，突然仰頭大笑。索額圖奇道：「韋大帥甚麼好笑？」韋小寶笑道：「你瞧這個字，一只雀兒兩個蛋，可不是那話兒嗎？」

田伯光搖頭道：「太師父是另有道理的。他說：『你這人太也好色，入了恆山派，師伯師叔們都是美貌尼姑，那可大大不妥。須得斬草除根，方為上策。』他出手將我點倒，拉下我的褲子，提起刀來，就這麼喀的一下，將我那話兒斬去了半截。」

Who Stole the Moon?

Yes! I have changed the skin again! This background picture is from vladstudio, my favourite digital artist. I bought the children book “Who Stole The Moon?” which he did the illustrations.

No, this boy here, is not the Firefox!

維多利亞壹號X白雪公主

昨晚說起《維多利亞壹號》，令我聯想起《白雪公主》。

首先要聲明，我沒有看過《維多利亞壹號》，也不會看。我對恐怖血腥戲完全沒徹，要知我非常怕血，而且驚嚇不起。記得那次看《I am Legend》，入戲院前不知是殭屍片，結果整套戲的過程簡直是折磨。

只聽說大概故事是主角買不起B座，便殺了A座和C座，以致B座搬出，並價向下跌，使其可以買得起那單位。

我想起《白雪公主》。先當你沒看過《令人戰慄的格林童話》，只是說家喻戶曉的那個故事。母后為了使自己是最美麗的人，下令殺了白嫩皮膚櫻桃紅唇的女兒。

故事同出一轍。

A very sad story in real life

Whenever I read or hear the news about this poor 9 year old girl, I feel really upset, deep from my heart.

The 9-year-old was found by police last month hiding in a wardrobe at a West Auckland home. Almost every part of her body had injuries. Part of her scalp had been torn off her head, allegedly as she was dragged down a hallway. She was starving, dehydrated and anaemic because of internal bleeding. She had a broken bone in her foot and had bruising all over her body. ***** Those injuries range from her scalp being torn away from her head while she was dragged by her hair along the floor, to vicious beatings with various weapons, and having her toenail pulled off and salt and boiling water poured on to the bleeding wound. ***** New claims emerged last night that the nine-year-old girl allegedly tortured by her parents was also sexually abused while in Child Youth and Family care.

Why the couple did this to their little girl? Kids should be happy and being loved by parents and families and everyone. Why would the extended family sexually abuse her? They were supposed to rescue her from the tortures! It’s horrifying, why do that to an innocent child?

Crazy, just crazy. The worst part is, her story, is just tip of the iceberg.

Dear Mr. Handsome Christmas Elf

Today I saw you working hard with your mates so I secretly took a photo of you. Hope you don't mind.

Look forward to see you in person after you have done all the Christmas work.

Yours faithfully,

Little Gypsy

再見螢火蟲

某家人一起看「再見螢火蟲」。

某爸看著看著，妹和哥都死了，便哭了起來，對一旁的子女說：「嗚，讓我聯想到你們兄妹倆呢。」

妹妹：「爸，我們還在這裡呀。。。」


這是星期一晚聽回來的故事。鳴謝余氏小姐的分享。

順帶一提，我們看時沒哭，只覺得好悶。

Watch the world

I have an application on my iPhone, WorldView, which shows web cameras around the world. I can search for one, and look.

There are 22 web cams in Hong Kong I can watch through the application. 25 in Wien, 3 in Vatican City, 25 in Greece. It's good weather in Athens right now.

That's a way to connect, I believe.

When I am so far away from the rest of the world.
