假如...這是最後的新年願望

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:28:00 +0000

2011是一個忙碌的一年. 第一年的京城生活. 新的體會. 嘗試. 假如2012會是最後的一年. 希望2012更加的忙碌. 待別是在工作以外的.

假如... 這是最後的新年願望... 我想......

1. 因工作或旅遊關係. 2011年到過了上海. 杭洲. 麗江. 香格里拉. 成都. 天津. 首爾. 蘇梅島. 曼谷. 沖繩. 2012希望去得更遠. 更久. 看得更多. 倫敦. 阿姆斯特丹. 巴塞羅那... 等著吧.....

2. 2011年買了很多書. 2012要把它們看完.

3. 認真的學好國語. 我的國語真的很糟糕.

4. 工作更有效率. 更多新嘗試.

5. 把2012都記錄在這.

6. 拍更多美好的相.

7. 更多的時間陪屋企人.

8. 成為一個更好的人.

Regine's 自做自售

i was longing for a suitable camera bag for my gx200 quite a while of time simply its a bit fat like me. and go searching for a camera bag became one of my practice especially during traveling.

and luckily. i found de perfect fit bag at a flea market just outside 西門町. similar to de milk farm but in smaller scale i guess. de shop is called "regine's 自做自售". and no surprise. all de products are designed and handmade by themselves. and i just like their design. like it much.

front and back of de camera bag i got...

and these guys were so interesting and funny.

you guys rock. work hard and make your path.

booday 蘑菇

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:20:00 +0000

one of the things i like taiwan is their design boutiques (or actually should name it as a team of people who passionate in design). guess it's about the market size or the culture which could afford to have many small design boutiques surviving. i like them as i could spend whole day hanging around and actually could spend quite a lot if out of control ; p

amongst these. booday (蘑菇) is definitely one of my favorites. i like de way that it's a hybrid of fashion. cafe. music. books. and it's just live. a day of simple lives. quoting from their website. "蘑菇是什麼？簡單來說，就好比一杯白開水。單純到底，但不可或缺"

de 1/f is used to promote bags. shorts. tees. accessories as well as other lifestyle products designed from their team or other artists. de 2/f is a classroom like cafe with a big blackboard which is my favorite (i'm seriously thinking to get a big one if i decided to get a flat. just draw and write random stuffs as you like in live)

tried their lunch and it's just exactly a home-made one (except it looks & tastes a bit healthier with lots of vegetables). but it's a bit expensive considering as a lunch (tho. de tea was quite good. but i forgot what it's named)

speaking of their design. personally. i quite like their bags for men. i was looking a big bag for long. however it's kinda hard to get one in hong kong either not it's just too costly or just didn't fit. this one "男子漢" (wow.. what's up...) was quite nice with a big size and washed blue color. however. de blue color was just sold out by de time i visited there. and i could buy it online as well when they got back stock due to some system problem (sucks. but might be it's just destiny which i shouldn't get a bag...)

三訪台灣

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:43:00 +0000

三個不同月份. 三個不同原因. 造就三次台灣之旅.

走訪了不同地方. 雖然大都是在台北. 体驗卻是很不同.

有到了朋友家借宿一宵. 或者說是工作室比較佮當. 因為那裏白天是給一個 pr / event 團隊工作的地方. (先要謝謝 juice 及她的姊姊噢. 打攪了.) 還記得害了其中一位人員在大清早上不知等了多久才能進來拿東西. 真不好意思噢.

去了不同的 design boutique 及 museum. 看了很有趣的書法裝置展覽. 更有 pixar 20 years of animation 的展覽.

到了很喜歡的淡水. 走過紅毛城. 夜訪漁人碼頭. 闊別2年. 淡水已經商業化了很多. 好的是這裏現在有很多 cafe (e.g. starbucks) 可以給你休閒地享受這裏的景色. 可惜的是那個郵筒已經不在了. 買了的 post card 不能在這裏寄了.

又在30多度炎夏之下泡溫泉. 在紅樓裏裏外外發現很多有趣的東西. 在下雨天走過了鐵路到達十分和走訪了九份這個城市. 和終於行遍了很多夜市.

更南下到了台中. 在感覺上了無邊境的東海大學走了一個大圈. 為的就是一個教堂和乳牛場. (可恨就是找不到聽聞好味道的牛奶和蛋糕... 或是給人騙了吧......)

再進一步南下到了最南和最藍的墾丁. 很美的地方. 最南邊的陽光終於把我這個曬不黑的白小子也曬黑了一點點.

會在這裏慢慢的分享喜愛的一點點......

what about 31

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:58:00 +0000

山本文緒的“31歲又怎樣“

i guess this would be one of de books which i finished reading really really fast. short but interesting stories. was attracted by the description ... 「只是31歲」還是「已經31歲了」... printed on de cover. guess everything have de flip side depending on where we stand from

the book is about 31 different stories from 31 individuals in japan. all de connection of them is only that they are all aged 31

"車子“. a story about a 31 years old woman living her live in a BMW without a real home (or the BMW already is). and it is all about de word of 「自由」...

“嗜好品”. a story about an extramarital affair of a couples who both are married. 「中毒的人無論做任何事都會中毒」...

wishes all my friends who are getting to their 30s with their own great story and goal. lucky that i'm still far from that...... lol

LE MARRON

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:17:00 +0000

second blog post about food. french food again with definitely another experience. started with scallop and baked burgundy escargot as appetizer. the scallop was quite nice after being pan fried a bit (i guess...) which excited me for a second expecting what's next...

and started from the lobster soup. it was surprising. surprisingly tasteless......

moving into the main course. the crab with rice was a bit salty. while the salted lamb / duck (forgot which one it is...) was really salty which we gave up at the end leaving half of it untouched...

the reason we got was that these were particular tailored for foreigners' taste... fair enough. please open it elsewhere then... ivansoba

my first attempt of 120 using holga with fuji film. some people like lomo. some people not which they think some of de lomo users are just trying to act cool because of using lomo. i guess that's somehow true. while i think it as another tool for us to express ourself and embrace us for sharing.

there's no better time to shop in 2009 with de on-gong sale all around. this month. have been trying to get most of de items for fall winter. but just realized i might need to get some more tee first as it's so damn hot in hk.

got myself a transit t-shirt and trench coat from d-mop which is having final sale i guess. i'm getting to like transit male collection especially their t-shirt. simple yet with a little details. and de material is quite comfortable. boom. what's more? upon accumulate spending @ $5k. you can join d-mop vip. (the attractive part is. all previous receipts count if you have so happened to keep it......)

and i was planning to get a cardigan for long. which would be de best mate for autumn / winter. finally. i got it from initial. which my first feeling visiting this shop was...... perfect items for gay people (no offense). however. i think the direction recently is getting broader so people like me could also get some goodies. the cardigan is in good material which again feeling very comfortable wearing it. again. simple looking yet detailed pattern. and i've also got a pants there.

what else then? continue my love of hat for fall winter. here we go.

lastly. a pair of adidas originals from de latest collection. love this samba in black. white. blue. from de first eye. and lucky with de 70% discount. it makes a great deal. and i'm finger crossed de maharishi collection coming end of de month. tho. all my colleagues are looking at de porter x nizza...... yeah. i'm weird. : p

first attempt of french dining in 09. first blog of food.

walked along uphill to Brasserie Le Fauchon for my first french dinner in 2009. it was a good exercise walking uphill and i guess it definitely help de appetite.

the environment was nice tho. it was a bit small (my personal feeling). especially like de bar area and crystal light.

overall the food were great especially the appetizer. particular de goose liver and lobster soup.

while on main course. de lamb shank was really big in size. but it still tasted good for lamb lover. lol. while my favorite tenderloin with scallop was just fit in size but the tenderloin was slightly overcooked. ;p

a coffee as de perfect ending of a dinner. thanks.

這是一個很熱的六月

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 06:48:00 +0000

很喜歡六月。喜歡她的熱。喜歡流汗的感覺。一種很實在。活著的感覺。

六月的熱。不單單是天氣的熱。她有著我們對推動社會的熱血。希望著進步的心。希望著下半年的進步。她有著我們對音樂對家駒的熱愛。她有著雙子座的熱誠。縱然這可能只是三分鐘的熱。這可是沸騰的三分鐘。

而今年的六月。特別熱。六四的二十周年。louis vuitton 的創意情感。dior 的黄金時代。延續五月對藝術的熱愛。還有我們對 michael jackson (米高積遜) 的熱愛。

彷彿要將我們溶掉。但請把這種熱繼續下去。

10 years. Journey Starts

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:16:00 +0000

we always used to be something. to do something. and it gradually gone...

i used to be a runner (tho. it's not serious runner) when i'm still in school. but. i've been leave it for almost 10 years. and now. i think it's time to pick it up again.

starting running so i could keep myself refresh. more clear on my goal (hopefully). and to really get back the feeling of running. i can run. of course. it's also about keeping fit...... (might be the core reason)

so. i've got myself an aiddas trainers finally after considering different brands. tho. it might not looks as cool as others. but it does give me the lightest feeling on my feet. and actually the color does look quite nice too. but just notice on the adidas website that it's for serious runner... (haha... i am now)

and i need a running shorts too. but finally. i found the latest soccer shorts looks better... ;p

i think what's left is the best companion for running. ipod shuffle. (um... gotta spend again???) and find out my route nearby.

a few colleagues and i were in a 2-days conference ame 2009 (asian marketing effectiveness festival) as young observer the week just passed. personally i like the name of young observer - young with big believe / passion in digital communications and advertising.

great speech from jeffery cole on new media platform. i'm totally with him that all digital content should be free in the nearer future with the support of advertising.

measurement. effectiveness. roi. were words throwing around more than a few time. which should turn us into the digital stream and shape the coming years of advertising... (tho. i don't think it's going to happen in hk sooner or later)

and great case study of award winning - yellow treehouse. a great demonstration of bringing the product alive. well done tapping into the conversation. and they did created the utility for audience. (um... will the same ideas buy in from local client in hk...... finger crossed)

we all need a kind of bag for a purpose.

with my new dc on board lately. i was looking for a 相機袋 but sadly. it's never easy to find a perfect one. so. i've then shift my focus looking for a pouch. and i found that de 菱格 head porter pouch is quite nice. it can carry my ipod. dc. mobile all in one. however. it seems been out of stock for quite a while in most of de 水貨店 in hk......

while i was a bit depressed by this... i've got another option which excite me - "porter×club king×enlightnenment" multi pounch. but it's kind of a mini version which i could only put either my dc. ipod. or mobile in it... tough choice.......

details check. major influences for de purchase.

another case of collaboration project by bbc blast studio. an experiment in creativity. i'm amazed with the installation they did. and how people can take part of it through internet across the globe.

tho. every interaction we can make through internet is so simple. but as it's reflected as nearly real time. so. it make it a bit more exciting to see de respond.

people can play around with four different installation - mark. print. mould. tone

a little trick which make me feel more exciting. i'm going live in 2 sec. for the mark injection.

viral enough??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:14:00 +0000

can't remember since when. many times in de industry. we always being asked to do something viral yet most of de time. have we think about isn't viral de right way to do. and have we think about if de piece of work could get de viral effect. and more critical. are we putting enough resource?? there aren't many of susan boyle esp. in hk.

last week. t-mobile continue another wave of their viral campaign following de t-mobile dance launched early this year. they invited their mobile users (through sms i guess) as well as mass audience through announcement on tv. youtube... etc. to go trafalgar square @ a particular time. no one know what's going to happen. and this time. it's about to sing a song. hey jude. how sweet. more than enough to leave a smile on every one face. and perfectly fit de campaign theme. life's for sharing.

in case if you haven't came across the t-mobile dance. here you go. guess the team has been putting a lot of effort.

and interestingly. came across this from adage about the traffic ranking of viral video which told us it seems viral video with dancing elements seems to be more popular. well... will see if de t-mobile sing alone could get up on de table in follow weeks.

btw. do check out de trident beyonce one. it's very nice again. and cadbury eyebrow which is very funny.

and in hk. langham hotel just launched a viral campaign which will feature a series of viral video - "big deal" and here's de episode 1. well... much appreciate for de effort and nice try. but i just question could it take off. will see in couple of weeks.
