Thank You


My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why,
I got out of bed at all,
The morning rain clouds up my window,
And I can't see at all,
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
But your picture on my wall,
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay,
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today,
I'm late for work again,
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply,
That I might not last the day,
And then you call me and it's not so bad,
It's not so bad.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is giving me the best day of my life.

Pushed the door, I'm home at last,
And I'm soaking through and through,
Then you handed me a towel,
And all I see is you,
And even if my house falls down now,
I wouldn't have a clue,
Because you're near me.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is giving me the best day of my life.

And I want to thank you,
For giving me the best day of my life,
And oh, just to be with you,
Is giving me the best day of my life.

One-Night in Nagoya Marroit

At this moment, I am tasting Sakae at a nicely lit hotel room filled with soft music. This moment, is like heaven, which next moment, I don't mind to be in hell. It is too satisfying for just a moment like this. (The next better moment I can visualize is to plus a beautiful, cultured lady to chat with.)

It has been a week to be in a polite city, where every one allows a comfortable respect to each other. The people here are very polite and friendly. I find myself hard to link them to someone who made attack during WWII. It might take me more time to know them well enough. However, I do enjoy my stay here for this short week.

Along with me are a colleague and a sales person. They are of great personality. One is a good manager who really plans things ahead. The sales person really has an awesome character to cheer up any occassion. Another funny situation, when 2 sales person met, they will talk NON-stop. It is difficult to expect a silent moment. Anyway, I do love the company of these great people.


The job itself has nothing to talk about. Job is job. It could be anything and also be nothing. What I love more is still the sakae and the good environemnt which I can indulge myself with the drink that give a cool yet warm breeze to every cell that it passes through. Bravo SakAe!

Connecting of DOTs of efforts

The evolve of Apple portraits a superb picture on how it connects the wide ranges of its products: iPods, iMacs, iPhones, and the important interface iTunes. Each single product builds on others, and establish the network of users along the years, that contributes to the hugeness of its business.

To be great, we need to connect each small little steps of effort, not losing any of them, and compile them into one great thing.

Apple has been a great corportate. It builds on simple philosohpy. As individual, we can do the same. A small little step at one time, build on what we already have, not wasting any effort, then slowly proceed to the greatness.

Connect, then move on! Someday, you will see your greatness!

Random Thoughts

China + India + America = huge demand. Controlling demand? controlling population. controlling usage. divert demand into alternative resources.

Middle-east, other countries on oil supply. Stability. No war. Technology. Better productivity. OPEC. Better co-ordination over supply.

Speculation. Transparent. No stocking. Efficiency in supply chain. Fair pricing. Less subsidies.

Open the market. Balance supply-demand. Optimize distribution efficiency.

Save the energy. Save the world.

黑暗與光明 - 張韻琪

這個夏天,出現了兩位「神童」旋風式入讀大學,社會上下樂此不疲地討論,傳媒出盡法寶為他們寫故事。而吸引我的,卻是一位天生眼角膜不健全的女學生,她用放大鏡讀書與學習,會考取得優異成績。手術幫不了她挽回視力,而是她對光明的信念,為她衝出黑暗的恐懼。

這位女學生對傳媒說:「沒理由在看得見的時候不努力。」只要能看得見,看得遠,看得闊,看得深,多大的條件限制或現實的不足,也會被你衝破,你也會是「神」。

或許,可以先從跳出自己手上的遊戲機與手提電話開始。走在路上或坐在車上,不妨周圍望望,望之餘再動動腦筋與感情,找一些令自己有所觸動的東西。

我最喜歡的就是「擔天望地」。每天一早出門口,先會望望天空,無論是萬里無雲,或是烏雲密佈,深呼吸一下,就能大步向前。在路上,最喜歡看招牌廣告、路牌、街角的動靜、迎面而來的面孔。為什麼香港的外牆廣告都喜歡把超大的明星面孔放於最顯眼的位置呢?為什麼維多利亞港兩旁築起愈來愈多懾人的高樓商廈呢?為什麼街頭巷尾掛起愈來愈多「有機」什麼的招牌呢?為什麼大小馬路的欄杆旁邊,纏著愈來愈多「手推車」呢?為什麼愈來愈多人拿著差不多式樣的「名牌」手袋呢?為什麼愈來愈多年青人緊緊盯著手上的電子遊戲機呢?為什麼路上愈來愈多風馳電制的司機,或不把紅綠燈放在眼內的行人呢?…還有更多的問題。

偶爾心情納悶,就會抬起頭,凝望穹蒼的變化,困惑與憂慮也會隨風消失。世界真的比你想像中要大得多。即使在狹小的香港,天與地也是屬於你的,讓你開懷馳騁。

黑暗中,才發現漫天星星,等著你。假若你只懂低下頭,或緊閉雙眼,生怕黑夜的來臨,那你就錯過了最美的星宿與寧靜。

是否看得見,全在乎你。
