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.

Jade Kwan performing in SCAA annual dinner. What a nice surprise!!!!!

PC anywhere, TV broadcast, webcam surviellence. Nice!

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。

同一樣的離世，不一樣的回響。人的一生尚且要向世人交賬，更可況是神呢。

WOW........I finally got my video broadcasting station set up. Let me know if you want to watch live broadcast of any of your favourite programmes. Stupid me, I didn't get it done during World Cup. But it works extremely well right now. I'm also working on the remote remote control. If I succeed, I can bring my TV all over the world.

無意間看見音樂台在播放林敏聰特輯，八十年代有很多耳熟能詳的金曲都是出自他的手筆。例如，愛在深秋、霧之戀、忘不了您、相愛、花店、為何仍是您．．．．．．等等。一般在鏡頭面前，他都是表現得傻裡傻氣。但在鏡頭之後，他的文采、豐富的情感都蘊藏在歌詞裡。

There are something I like about the new office:
- the "push-and-then-enter" intelligent elevator
- it's on the 24th floor

一起吃久違了的「樓飯」，挺不錯!

「前面位先生，唔好隨街丟煙頭！」「隨街丟煙頭，罰你千五蚊拿！」
已不是第一次，不知道從哪裡來的勇氣。看見缺德的行為，感覺是憤慨的。當面的指責，過後却又能人暢快。

投資第一大忌：貪平
以為PE低就是便宜、底買，PE高就不值摶。如果以這個思維去買樓，大家現在應該去買天水圍，不應該買太古城。但自九六年至今十年間，更能夠令你傾家蕩產、血本無歸的會是哪一層樓呢？

The HK Dizzyland has become pretty quiet both inside and outside the park. Things were very different same time last year, as all CMs were busy using up the 16 complimentary tickets quota. Taking into account of those busy days, first year attendance still fall short of the 5.6mn target. Actual figures are not announced, but probably around 5mn. The 2nd year could be worse (but nobody seems to care). With daily attendance of around 10-12 thousand, full year figures could be as low as 4mn.

Every time people ask me about stock idea, market prediction, etc., I always have an unpeaceful feeling in my mind. Before I didn't quite understand why. I couldn't make any sense out of it. I'm not that good at speaking of my feeling. But now, I thought I've got the answer. I really feel uneasy giving out stock tips. It somehow feels like letting your classmate copy your homework without knowing what that is about. It makes me feel uneasy, because I know that is not helping him.
As a matter of fact, I really enjoy sharing what I've learnt. But instead of telling them the answer directly, I would want to tell them "how" to get the answer and let them find it out themselves. I truly believe in this learning process, based on my experience, and from the joy and sense of achievement you can see from their eyes. Different people have different learning curves. Some are steeper, some are gentler. But, no matter how long it takes, everyone will get there........some day.
