    南洛杉磯一年內禁新快餐店開業

    (星島)7月30日 星期三 16:18

    紐約    及加州分別禁制有害健康的反式脂肪後,洛杉磯    市議會通過一項對抗癡肥問題的法案,暫時禁止快餐店在市內南部開設新分店,禁令至少為期1年。快餐巨擘麥當勞    等 飲食業代表指這項禁令對業界並不公平。今後一年禁止開設新快餐店的地區,集中在洛杉磯南部32平方哩的範圍,當地住有大約50萬人。禁令屆滿後,當局可以 兩度延長,每次為期半年。洛杉磯市議會是一致通過這項禁令,理由是受影響地區的快餐店數目太多,而居民的癡肥比率超出全市平均值。快餐業界代表回應說,他 們支持改善飲食習慣的目標,但新措施令業界受到不公平對待。事實上,業界指早已在餐單上提供較為健康的菜式。加州餐廳協會表示,將考慮訴諸法律行動,挑戰 當局的禁令。

  • Very tired from the boating trip today. The swimming and beach soccer was great. I will upload the pictures soon!

    I am delighted to have been informed that I am invited to get the iPhone 3G on the very first day of its launch on the 11th of July. Just to clarify, I am NOT an APPLE FAN. NOT! And I did not even come close to even thinking of getting the original iPhone! The new iPhone 3G does not look revolutionary and the specifications are far from impressive. But at least it appears to be more equipped to work properly now so I will give it a shot given this kind opportunity.

    Now, BLACK or WHITE?

  • Very busy at work recently.

    I've fixed a problem on one of the products in which some of the rotary switch knobs would get stuck at certain positions under those "overly-meticulous" QC Quality Control Testings, in which they couldn't even produce a standard for their testing procedures (Feel by Touch?) -_-"... I almost broke my thumb pressing on the switches by over 1000 times trying to figure out which few units are "defective" from bulk of hundreds of units.

    Anyway I've come up with a very simple solutions by adding a spring to the shaft of that stupid switch knob. I went through the warehouse dusts and found a possible candidate. The parts junk box is always your friend.

    Now no matter how terrible the parts are assembled or how rough you play on the rotary switch, it would always pop back up! No more compalints!

    That's all. Low Tech High Income, High Tech Low Income.

    So damn tired. Time to zzz...

  • Watched "The Happening" tonite. Nothing very interesting and the plot wasn't great either. It is basically a movie about an airborne toxin suspected to be released by plants, that makes people lose the ability to protect themselves and do dangerous things that leads to death. All happening in the America of course. Find it silly?



    Well I agree that it is stupid but it does make me think more about the world that we all live in, Planet Earth that is. I am not a big advocate of Global Warming or some other apocalyptical theories but I believe that it has come to the time that we have to pay more attention to how our everyday actions can affect Earth's environment and economy.

    One thing worth noticing is how much the people in the movie are fear of the plants up to the point that they would talk to them hoping to be spared. Did you ever find the scrubs and trees at the parks threatening?

    It is a fact that the weather is getting crazy and natural disasters take place more frequently. I know many of which are not related to the humans. Whatever the reasons, we should think again.

    車 牌 行 執 到 平 貨

    「 G1L 」 同 「 SA 」 兩 個 車 牌 都 係 由 車 牌 行 投 得 , 負 責 人 顏 生 強 調 並 非 TWINS 粉 絲 , 出 手 投 牌 係 因 為 覺 得 呢 兩 個 牌 同 好 多 公 司 英 文 名 簡 寫 相 同 , 估 計 日 後 有 機 會 轉 手 , 而 兩 個 英 文 字 母 車 牌 , 類 似 無 字 頭 數 目 字 車 牌 咁 , 由 於 買 少 見 少 , 所 以 一 向 較 為 值 錢 , 所 以 捨 得 出 高 價 競 投 。
    顏 生 今 次 可 能 成 功 撈 底 , 事 關 舊 年 一 個 阿 「 G1LL 」 車 牌 成 交 價 65,000 蚊 , 今 年 呢 個 阿 「 G1L 」 價 錢 卻 跌 至 11,000 , 足 足 平 54,000 蚊 , 阿 「 G1L 」 忽 然 大 劈 價 , 抵 佢 執 到 平 貨 。 阿 「 SA 」 、 阿 「 G1L 」 身 價 差 咁 遠 , 雙 劍 合 璧 又 值 幾 多 呢 ? 噚 日 同 場 有 個 「 TW1NS 」 牌 拍 賣 , 經 多 口 叫 價 , 最 終 落 巴 籍 買 家 Jabber 手 上 , 以 27,000 投 到 呢 個 牌 。 佢 話 根 本 唔 知 TWINS 係 乜 鬼 組 合 , 投 呢 個 牌 係 送 畀 孖 生 姪 仔 生 日 禮 物 。

    八 方 卻 認 為 , 跑 車 可 以 考 慮 買 個 「 2 FAST 」 車 牌 , 呢 個 牌 以 50,000 蚊 成 交 , 價 錢 唔 算 too expensive 。 得 意 車 牌 有 價 有 市 , 但 唔 係 個 個 牌 受 歡 迎 , 「 A FATB0Y 」 同 「 FE1 CHA1 」 就 冇 人 要 , 由 運 輸 署 收 回 。 香 港 地 肥 人 受 人 白 眼 , 估 唔 到 車 牌 都 受 歧 視 , 咁 又 何 苦 勾 佢 , 蝕 埋 5,000 蚊 按 金 呢 ?

  • Long time no writing again... Lots of things happened recently, lots of you have heard of my United Airway story so let's just focus on today.

    Didn't get to eat much these days due to 腸胃炎 last Saturday. Had lunch with 3 cuties and 2 of them could have been some fat ass dudes. Why? Nevermind haha...

    When was the last time someone bought me a present? Too long ago to recall but yeah I've received a slim Gucci wallet that fits more stuff than the one I currently have. Thank you dear and now before you get that dog 停一停,唸一唸...



  • 秋葉原電車男隨便殺人事件

    (星島日報 報道) ...話說回來,有幾個嫌疑很重的誘發因素,我認為是造成隨便殺人事件的罪魁禍首:一、殺人電影和遊戲。北野武的《大逃殺》是佼佼者,片中學童都在學習殺人,將 殺人轉化成一種求生本能,要說意識差勁,此電影當之無愧。還有不少以殺人為樂的電子遊戲,也間接將青少年洗腦,視殺人如遊戲。二、傳媒廣泛報道,彷彿將殺 人者描繪成冷血英雄,對於意志薄弱者,或希望受到社會關注者,會有效法之衝動。...

    God Bless the Victims.

    I don't think it has something to do with the movies and games. Do you feel like running over someone with your car after playing GTA? Do you feel like stealing nation treasure after watching the movie? Do you think you can fly after watching Superman or dodge bullets like Neo? Fuck that shit. Those who have fucked up minds will do what they do, those who don't kill won't kill.

    One concern however, is that modern city folks are very self-protective mentally but not physically, which is the only thing that matters when it comes down to a live to die situation. That fucking kid only had a fucking knife. There are tens of thousands of people in Akihabara and none of the men are skilled to take him down face to face? Did all the capable people just ran off while one after another got stabbed behind them? How sad.

    Just my 2 cent.


    Now put that puny blade of you away son.

  • Nothing too surprising.

    Been running around for several meetings today. Funny how businesses and things link up within the companies. Now is the time for me to show some skillz! Hardly ever felt comfortable doing engineering before, "Business Development Engineer" is the appropriate title... I would say. At least I am earning like 3 times more than I did last year shhhh... (well dinner n drinks are still on me, no matter wat ) Will post some other different project photos as soon as I get them. Can't wait to see you all soon!

    BTW I went back to the Science Park today for work... Just like a year ago. Only that there are better restaurants now. What else?


    香港地...

  • Hmm...

    Brother, remember what that happened to you. What needed to be done has been done.

    It is more tragic to regret not having done something than having done something.

    While that not being the case shall you not worry about it anymore.


    Charging up!

    A busy and long day... Working on a "soccer ball" project. No just kidding, it is a recreation of the Star Wars Darth Vader's "Death Star"! Haha of course not. I shall not spill a word, not yet. "Add oil!".
