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.

(真人真事出現於銅鑼灣某茶餐廳外賣...)

Leave-me-alone box.

Keeping your life disturbance-free has never been as easy.
Learn it from the leave-me-alone box.

Exclusivity.

for those who listen to the rain
for those who never rush for departing trains

I promise you a way
a way
a way

to end
as to begin


for those who milk the coco trees
for those who give away fruits for seeds

I'll let you shy away
away
away

from numb
as to feel

While she's sleeping.

Enduring taunts of morning sun afar reading with macbook & coke zero in this sleepless night.

Internal fabrication #3

最擅長易容的人

忘了自己的長相

她甚至忘了自己忘了自己長相這回事

掛上一張又一張別人的臉

粉墨登場

挺快活的

直至她愛上一個人

然後那個人告訴她令他迷上她的是她獨一無二的臉孔

一個有關主角笑不出的笑話

Fingers black.

Have always considered ink refill the least preferred writing-related activity.

Let alone the spill on hands and table.

I still got 2 black fingers after like 5 washes. Must I apply correction fluid to get rid of it?

Orders:Chaos.

Now Showing.

Bye, Godfather.
Hello, Marilyn.

In pillow talks.

I was told about his life. His college drop-out. His relativity. His E=mc², Annus Mirabilis, version of universe.

Third book about him I read. The first person I found myself an admirer of. Blue sky of the day reminds me of this guy who explained why the sky is blue (in his paper on critical opalescence described the cumulative effect of light scattered by individual molecules in the atmosphere gives it colour).

Something catchy.

There's a witty drug store banner in Lan Kwai Fong says,

We have BEER for you to drink,

CIGAR for you to enjoy,

PERFUME for your girlfriends,

VIAGRA for banana become cucumber.

Don't forget CONDOM for your safe sex,

otherwise...... DRUGS to heal you.

If she insist "no".....

MELATONIN for you go to sleep.

Enjoy your night....

If there's a banner like this out of every office, what yours says?

Just wonder.

All that I can read alone #1

黛玉來到今生
只為還淚
乾了　盡了　也就完了

下凡前　化泥後
種種　重重
通通

譬如朝露

Not where you are nor the moment you got stuck in.

The most cogent prison on earth is right between your ears.

Don't you wanna take a break?
