My new nerdy spectacles.

float like a butterfly

sting like a bee

crack ideas like a vending machine

look like a nerd

[float like a butterfly, sting like a bee is quoted from Muhammad Ali, 3-time heavyweight champ]

Perhaps, trivia.

perhaps, there are skies beyond this one

perhaps, the grasses are greener

the sun is cooler

diamonds are cheaper

life is simpler

and bubbles would hang on

and on

and on

and on

to be found

Pageant of a croissant.

I'm not absolutely sure about how I got to like this restaurant so much lately. There's a good chance the crush began with a croissant.

Yes it came with crunchy skin with very fluffy, lofty-layered inside. But it got me earlier when it was brought to the table. See how this HK$9 dollar croissant was nicely served. Well you can picture the rest.

Oven-fresh bakery. Good coffee. Bossa nova playlist. The English Big Breakfast on their lunch and dinner menus is a big plus, too.

Can't ask for more.

Heavy battling at work.

Dancing in a conference-table minefield.
Swimming in emails, voice mails, fax mails, overclocked males and females

and it feels good. :)

Internal fabrication #4

她在夢到埋怨她把它放進士多啤利益力多只為增加口感的火龍果以及被她摘去豐富贈品後束之高閣的時裝雜誌那一早醒來就明白自己從來不曾有那個資格嫌棄只問她要錢的母親或業績以外不關心一句的上司或不懂欣賞她inner beauty的男友或只愛向她吐苦水的best friend

梳洗後她調了一杯益力多加冰

沒有火龍果

也沒有士多啤利

Analogies I grave for more.

This witty copywriter keeps a blog, "Blank is Like Blank" where he wrote some of the best analogies I ever read. Definitely will worth your while to pay a visit.

A few of my favourites:

Starbucks is like that crazy ex-girlfriend you still get together with:
You hate yourself for going back, but the familiarity makes it convenient, and until you find something better, it’s all you’ve got.

Advertising is like porn:
You shouldn’t stay in the same position for too long.

Watching your baby projectile vomit for the first time is like witnessing a car accident:
It’s mostly scary, but a little fascinating, assuming no one is seriously hurt.

Using Helvetica is like owning a Mac:
It looks so cool that you never bother to stop and think if you really need to.

A good haircut is like a seat on the subway in the morning:
It’s great when I get one, but I’ve given up on hoping for it, and am used to functioning without it.

Phenomenal void.

Tranquility seen.

Epiphany inhaled.

Translucency heard.

Nonentity felt.

A fish filet burger wonder.

我想,這個魚柳飽可以是小說中對一個精打細算,最會刻薄伙計及顧客的茶餐廳當家的側寫.
