There's something about Rodman

Today I read an interesting about my man.

When he was with the Bulls, the team tried to find a way for Rodman to short-circuit his impulse to rail at any referee who made what he believed to be an unjust call. So they had him place a thick rubber band tightly around his left wrist with orders to sharply snap the band whenever he felt like yapping at a ref. The idea being that the flash of pain would derail his latest impulse. The tactic worked for a while, then to the staff's amazement Rodman took to continually snapping the rubber band even when he had no immediate beef with the refs.

What was that all about?

"It felt good," said Rodman.

Extract from Charlie Rosen's Rodman was a winner, but is Artest?

Also, Sam Smith (author of the book "Jordan Rules") remembers Chicago’s 72-10 season:

Jordan was enthusiastic, though he’d later admit he rarely, if ever, spoke with Rodman those three seasons because it was so difficult to get Rodman’s attention. I used to get letters from a southern Illinois educator who said Rodman was a classic case of undiagnosed and untreated Attention Deficit Disorder.

Jordan would later say when he had to make a point to Rodman he’d grab him by both temples and demand Rodman look him in the eye and then ask him several times if he understood what Jordan was saying and to repeat if he did.

Song of my day - Hey Jude

Hey Jude - The Beatles



Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na, hey Jude...
Na Na Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na, hey Jude...

Goodbye, King of Pop | 別了, 舞臺皇者

早上起來看到消息, 心裡覺得有點突然
倫敦的最後tour還未開始, 就要走了嗎?

我第一隻買的Michael Jackson CD是"Dangerous"
很清楚記得當時最吸引我的是"Black or White"MV裡神奇的變身畫面
還有跟另外一個MJ - Michael Jordan, 一起拍的MV"Jam"; 宣揚環保世界和平的"Heal the World"等等,
那時侯真的每晚都用Discman聽著每首歌曲直至入睡.



後來逐漸買回其他CD single, 好像"Bad", "Man in the Mirror", 再看到其他MV如"Thriller", "Bad"等等,
Moonwalk, 拋帽, 自摸, 趷腳, 踢腿等等有型舞步令我深深愛上他的表演
不過我個人最最最喜歡的是"Smooth Criminal":



MV中有一幕經典的45度傾斜動作實在驚為天人,
後來知道原來傾斜動作的奧妙是用鞋底一個勾位作支點, 配以臺上的一個釘位作支撐
話雖如此, 但他能於現場live表演中都能使出此絕技實在是令人配服
(詳情請看以下連結)




當年世嘉遊戲機有個叫Moonwalker的game, 遊戲是按照電影Moonwalker ("外星戰將")改篇的, 以前我經常到鄰居阿龍的家玩世嘉, 最喜歡就是這遊戲
攻擊動作有他的舞步姿勢及怪叫"boooh!" (個人最愛)

最有趣的是使出絕招時, 一班壞蛋會跟MJ一起跳舞... 然後掛掉! 當年來說是非常有趣的遊戲



後記: 想學moonwalk嗎? How to Moonwalk?


走的這麼突然... 真的是"Gone too soon".
別了, 真正的舞臺皇者, R.I.P.

40 games in 40 nights

今年季後賽好像比往年更精采, 我的愛隊更自95年以來打入NBA Finals!
14年前我們以0-4被swept, 今年雖不被看好, 但我相信我們能put up a good fight!




Let’s go Magic, YES WE CAN!

二十年前, 二十年後

二十年前的這晚, 我以黑砂及塗改液寫上"奠"字, 之後一天把它掛在書包上課.
二十年後的這晚, 我在維園感受到十多萬人的力量.

"三個好男人"

上週跟好友們看陳昇, 張宇, 品源的”三個好男人唱好情歌演唱會”,
最喜歡的是三個好男人一起以鋼琴, 結他及bongo(鼓)合奏
第一次聽陳昇現場live, 品源所稱的”全世界最好聽的情歌”把悲傷留給自已",
還有“別讓我哭”, “風箏”, “北京一夜”, "不再讓你孤單"等等經典好聽的歌, 真的非常動聽.

原來品源有這麼多fans, 但他的歌我只懂兩首! (相信有95%的人都應該只懂那兩首...)

最最最喜歡的當然是張宇, “月亮惹的禍”, “一言難盡”, 驚喜的是“四百龍銀", 是他寫關於他阿嬤的故事;
最後更全場大合唱 “用心良苦”, 可惜沒有唱其他經典, 如”情有獨鍾”, “消息”等等.
Encore的部份, 最後竟是唱出S.H.E.的“Super Star"... 汗

慶生

踏入五月, 作出了很多人生的重大決擇
感激家人的幫忙, 事情總算辦妥了

生日前的一天去了深圳的Papa John’s吃pizza, 太好味了~~~
之後去了書城逛了一天, 搬了十多本書回來, 重歸重, 但價錢跟本地設計書實在相差太遠,
體力勞動也是值得的.

sc送我的白色Brick, 實在是宅男的最佳生日禮物, thanks! <3



生日當晚到了中學同學的婚宴, 主人家特地order了壽包, 真體貼!
感謝好友們的祝福.

感謝

Thank you to everyone, I am blessed to have yall as family,

無言感激, 一生都還不完.

溝女王 Pickup Artist (PUA)

Pearl Report - 明珠檔案

Topic幾有趣, 你能否成為溝女王 pickup artist (PUA)?

黑口黑面

Why.. so serious?

陳奕迅 - H³M

Eason說沒有中文名稱, 所以取其英文讀音, 姑且可稱為"好好好賣" (Ho Ho Ho Maai -> HHHM -> H³M)
其實他之前說過應是"黑口黑面", "好好好賣"是政治正確地應付國內傳媒的說法
這album的製作班底是他Moving On Stages演唱會的partner們,
一人製作一首歌 ("沙龍"為Eason親自作曲), 樂手親自監製及編曲, 曲詞風格都各有特色



聽過第一遍後, 最喜愛的是最後一首"沙龍", 曲跟詞都寫得好.
對焦慢了, 影像便會失去. 錯過了的人和事, 那moment過了便再不歸
放在大碟的最後一cut實在貼切不過

Eason對情感的演繹一向都掌握得無懈可擊
好像"沙龍"淡淡然的開首, 隨著編曲及歌詞, 情感慢慢加強及爆發,
真的期待可現場聽他唱live version!

其他的歌曲不作介紹了, 預計跟以往一樣, 多聽幾遍後, 首首都會成為"最愛"的了 (我太愛這男人) :)

再試HDR

再嘗試HDR效果, 好像調得有點怪怪的.. 是嗎?

天陰陰

早幾天, 大霧及濕氣極重時拍的

維園

還未學懂怎tune HDR..

About me

有段長時間都是生活得苦惱的
物質上雖不缺, 但精神上卻是一個空殼
老是提不起勁
結果甩了很多飯局, 推了很多聚會

覺得自己越來越封閉, 自以為是及越來越討人厭
很多時都對別人的說話或意見, 白眼
以往blog不設留言服務, 或多或少都是因為如此
(也很怕那些spam/廣告的留言.. "Do you want to enlarge your penis?")

近來多看blogger甚至風水師寫的東西及Twitter裡朋友們的entries, 分享等
重新學會了簡單的東西.. "love is all around"
眼光陜窄的只有自己, 身邊其實有很多有趣的人
自小家裡有教, 做人要humble呀
不要再自以為是, 今天起作出小小的一步
從新開放留言服務 (但怕沒人看的blog哪有人留言haha)
不要再這麼討人厭了

_
另, 今天收拾時才發現聖誕時保良局曾寄來的照片及Xmas card
我小孩快十歲了!
越大越靚仔~ (可惜保良局規定不能post小孩的照片作分享)

超級電腦的疑惑

"鳳姐殺手"案要動用超級電腦進行分析, 究竟咩係超級電腦? 邊度有得買? 點解平時唔開? 係唔係好o徙電? 點解唔用黎做D有用嘅分析, 好似有無外星人?

好多疑團...

可能都要開部超級電腦進行分析.

Superbowl 廣告 2009

Superbowl是美國每年最大的體育盛事
收看的以千萬人計
Half-time的廣告時段因此價值不菲
所以每年的廣告商都大攪腦汁, 希望能製作有noise的廣告
以往好像Budweiser "What's up"及Apple "1984"等都是Superbowl廣告的經典

今年的廣告可在Youtube channel收看:

3D零零狗 | Bolt 3D

好好笑的一齣卡通電影!

入場前期望有很多像Universal Studio的3D效果,
整套要配戴3D眼鏡收看, 3D效果令畫面很有層次.
不過真正"飛出來"的片段不多, 很多時都是雙重或三重捲軸的效果.

自收購了Pixar後, Disney的動畫技術, 角度及render技巧都跟Pixar接近了
(我想應該是同一個engine吧, 都搞不清是Disney或是Pixar了)

其中一幕令我很amazed的是Rhino在膠波裡面看著"大顛"及"貓貓",
牠們樣子的distortion做得很細緻.
看似簡單的一幕, 不知要花多少時間去製作.



幾樣:
1. 可惜JP沒有英文版播放, 聽到學友的配音, 想起他的樣子... 好難接受他是可愛的狗狗... -_-
(不過英文版Bolt是John Trevolta, 可能一樣會想起他的樣子)

2. 最喜歡的角色是倉鼠Rhino(犀牛), 因為牠由始至終真真正正沉醉於Bolt電視劇情, 傻到極點~
白鴿的描寫(小動作, short term memory)都非常有趣.

3. 王祖藍配Rhino配得夠喪, 貓貓女聲(後來發現是配音劉玉翠)叫Bolt為"大顛"很貼切很好笑

4. 頭一段包括以往Pixar作品好像Toy Story, The Incredibles, Cars, Wall-E等等短片實在令我好想重看所有Pixar animation.

5. 出DVD應該沒有3D效果, 所以要襯早入場呀!

維園年宵花市 2009

自多年前搬來銅鑼灣後
每年新年前都會到維園花市走走

幾年前開始, 花市變了賣吹氣公仔的天下
今年除了例牌的吹氣系列外
好像變了散貨場似的
有超醜毛公仔, 有SD card, 有直銷中心更有鋪位賣LCD TV (電腦節麼?)

早前轟動全城的掟蕉事件及答問大會"吹氣蕉"
社民連當然不放過這機會籌旗, 推出"雙截蕉"及"吹氣蕉"




較吸引的是這鴨仔浴帽 (但男人老狗用咩浴帽呢?)


結果什麼都買不到, 倒是趁人少, 找了華叔寫揮春


海嘯沖走了不少商鋪, 維園成功出租的鋪位比往年少了很多
希望環境快快好起來吧.
