Kind of sad that Beckham is going to the US next season. This means it'll be difficult to see him on TV playing soccer. And by doing that, he unofficially say goodbye to top-level league soccer and international competition.

The options of staying in Europe are not quite attractive. Right now, the best leagues in Europe are English, Spanish, Italian and German. And by going there, you would probably want to join the top 3-5 teams, i.e.

England: Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool
Spain: RM, Barca
Italy: Inter, AC, Juventus
Germany: BM, WB

Going back to England is obviously the top choice. I'm sure a lot of MU fans want to see Beckham returning to MU. And it won't be difficult for him to find a place on the pitch. But reconciling with his former boss seems to be almost impossible. After being such a prominent MU player, you will not want to join any of the major rivals. Also it is not that easy to survive in the Spanish and Italian league, given his style of play and language barrier. In fact, there aren't too many English player who can survive there.

It's still possible to join some tier-2 teams. But do you want to take a thinner paycheck, not being able to compete at the top level, with lower chance to make the national squad again, but putting in the same amount of effort????

Going to the US is a wise choice. I would probably do the same if I were him. The benefits I can think of:

-the fattest paycheck a soccer player can ever get
-living in an English-speaking country
-living close to hollywood
-playing in a mediocre league may not be very enjoyable, but anyway have fun

It really feels like the holiday overhang. Watching survivor s13, I like the integrity and smartness of Yul, the ethics and physical ability of Ozzy.

Some nice photos taken during my vacation.......honestly it was not as glamorous as they looked.

My x'mas holiday will start tomorrow until 27th. My destinations include KK, MK, LB and GZ. So don't call me on my cell, though SMS is most welcome.

Conspiracy of not? It's crystal clear. How many times have you heard of people sitting in the back seat of a mercedes could die in a car crash? Any person familiar with auto engineering would tell you that when designing a car, hundredes of tests have been conducted and simulation done to analyse various crash situation. Mercedes Benz is probably among the strongest car in the world. I bet even driving the car at 120mph, heading straight into a concrete wall, could have the driver walking away uninjuired. Readers of Apple Daily or similar sorts of newspaper must be very familiar with photos of car crash. But look at the photo below. It doesn't look like a typical car crash photo. Any mercedes engineer could easily run a simulation for you to prove this point. I don't understand why the top would collapse like that when being hit at the front. Even if it did, the back seat space was still pretty well protected. Passangers in there could be injuired but definitely not fatal. I'm sure a lot of people have seen uglier crash photo before, but still drivers or passangers were often reportedly injuired rather than dead. And look at the right front seat. That seems to be the most damaged part of the car. But there seated the only survivor of the crash, bodyguard Rees-Jones. Surprising?

Miscellaneous recaps.......

Deal or no deal: spent a whole night working out the statistics. No deal in round 1 & 2 is a no-brainer. Taking the deal after round 3 is always the safest bet, usually in the range of $50,000 to $100,000. Banker's offer become more deviated from there on, depending on the box opening sequence. You could hit the jackpot in the last 3 rounds, but you could also end up with nothing. As the box opening sequence is random, the only thing you can control is whether to take the banker's offer when probability is turning against you. The most interesting thing is that contestants seem to think hardly to decide on which box to open make as if making a life changing , but in fact that is completely random. And also the first box they pick seems to play a big role through out the game, but in fact that is totally irrelevant.

Next time you receive a marketing cold call from a company you do not deal with, write down the time, the company and person who call you. Tell them never to call you again and immediately erase your personal data from their database. Or else, you will launch a complaint to the Office of Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data.

Extremely sad to see the ferry pier being demolished, so are the memory of millions of HK people.

HK is going to have a "real" election for CE. Wow.

HK's population policy is a big mess, or a big miss?

Look forward to my early x'mas vacation.

可憐的內地淡水魚養殖戶，若非早前發生的毒鴨蛋、毒雞蛋事件，香港人不會成為這樣的驚弓之鳥。
