A night being Coldplayed

I arrived the AWP(Asia World Expo) at 7pm, had 3 beer before the show. Something I like going to qweilo concerts is that people drink before, during and after show.

Supporting act Mercury Rev were playing when we sat down at 8.30pm. Coldplay didnt start until 9.15pm with Life In Technicolor.

They played most of the songs from Viva La Vida album + some top hits like Yellow, Fix you, The Scientist...

It was a great concert! The production is very good as a band show. The backdrops were cool, there were some ball-shape projectors hanging down, very pretty. Chris Martin's vocal is a lot better than last time in HK. The show finished at 11pm.


We didn't stay for drinks after the concert as we felt too tired, it could be a better idea to stay as it took a long time queuing up for the airport express train. People were still very excited, kept singing "Viva La Vida" before and after the train, kinda cute :D

ARTWALK 09

This year is my 2nd time doing the Artwalk. Last time was in 2004 and I had a great time! Missed the last 4 years , they have increased to 65 participating galleries, from 2004's 30.

Artwalk is like a moving bar, keep walking, keep drinking, keep looking, keep chatting. You know how expensive could some of the artworks be, I feel good to just go into the galleries, grab a beer, grap some chicken wings, just leave with your oilly fingers and drunk face. Being a bit silly, who cares?

Chris and I started at 7pm from Sheung Wan's The Cat Street Gallery, and walked along Hollywood Road, Hijiri joint us and we walked down to Kau U Fong, there are a few good exhibitions with local artists' works.

Hollywood Road near the escalator is still the busiest area, we did a few of them and then took the escalator up to Prince Terrace, it is my favourite area for the Artwalk, can comfortably drink a bit outside the galleries. Good to take some rest there as we walked for 3 hours already.

Old Bailey Street where we do Friday happy hour every Friday, saw those mirror works a lot, good to have a closer look and made a photo of us on it.

Managed to do a few more on Hollywood Road before they finished at 24.00, sure, still a lot more I wanted to go but I am happy with what we achieved.

打邊爐

Happy Friday 先 Happy Hour, 幾經辛苦, 投票決定打邊爐.

人多最啱打邊爐, 一打12人圍埋十下十下, 食野, 飲野, 吹水, 一次過滿足三個願望. 而中式圓檯最正的地方, 就係可跟同檯任何一人面對面交談. 唔駛黎頸避人頭.

Dog Training Class

We have had the 4th dog training class. It's going well so far, Spidy learns pretty quick, and we have learnt a lot too!

Okay... I start to understand why the parents always want their kids to show ppl what they have learnt... I still think that's selfish but... "Spidy~~! "

Show uncles and aunties what you have learnt... "SIT...!" Good Boy~~!!! Okay, "DOWN...!" Good boy~~ So smart!! "HAND..."

羅氏理髮

有個小故事發生在這間樓梯口小店的。

小朋友: 唔制, 唔比肥佬剪, 要瘦佬剪。
婆婆: 去啦, 唔駛等咁耐, 即刻可以剪。(瘦佬有其他客人在等, 肥佬無)
小朋友: 唔制, 肥佬剪得太核突, 我要瘦佬剪。
婆婆: 去啦, 快D剪完我買xxx比你啦。(唔記得係用咩)

(重覆擾釀十至幾十分鐘, 小朋友終於屈服)

小朋友: (扁住咀) 好啦好啦,比肥佬剪啦。
肥佬: 我唔同你剪呀!!!
婆婆: (一臉尷尬) 係米呢,都話你麻煩... ...

故事發生在2x年前了, 我就是那個小朋友... 那應是我第一次知道「莫道你在選擇人, 人亦能選擇你」的。

聽說肥佬是老闆, 所以他串得起。那次之後, 我再沒有幫襯他們了。今晚返老家食飯, 經過這間鋪, 見到「瘦佬」還在, 突然想起這件事。食飯時提起這間店子, 家母話聽說肥佬過身了, 瘦的頂了間鋪。

上一代的社區確實親密很多, 好似「18樓c座」廣播劇般, 商鋪往往跟街坊建立感情, 街坊見面總會談天說地 (也可說三道四)。現在某些地方還有這份感覺的, 請好好珍惜。

一百萬零一夜 Slumdog Millionaire

Watched on Saturday night, totally full house, even first row, even they show in 2 houses at the same time.

This movie has won so many awards including the Best Picture of Oscar. I believe most of us would think "Is it really that good?" when we are walking into the cinema.

I like the way they use a world known game show WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, different country has their own version. The same game rules worldwide, a 'different' story in India.

I love their editing, it goes well with the music, energetic with great passion. The cinematography is adorable, playing around with shape colours, like their colourful sari , what indian ladies wear.

Chris asked me, "Does it makes you wanna go India?"
I said" Yes, but I need the sound track with me"
