So many people are getting exhausted by their work here in HK, while others can't even get a job! Surely, worklife in HK is getting more and more unhealthy. To many here, work is life. Many say they work for the money, but asking people what they are gonna do when they are rich, many would just say "re-invest the money to get even richer", or "start a business to get even more wealthier" That's pretty much reduced to "I want to be rich just to be richer"...

Finally bought a 4 joysticks multitap for my PS2. Main reason: to play the soccer game "Winning Eleven 6" with friends. With it, 4 of us can actually chasing the ball together (play like the primary school soccer way)! What's still missing now is just that the tee-shirts won't got torn off half of the time, nor a referee that's been extra generous whenever Korean team is playing... Maybe that will come in the next version.

Picked up a manga called "�L�[�`" (ki-chi) today. The comics was a decent surprise. The straightness and bravery of the 3 year old main character captured my heart. Bringing up a child is really not easy...

The trailer of the U.S. release of Miyazaki Hayao's "Spirited Away" has finally come out!

I am a huge fan of his work and I loved "Spirited Away". Judging from the trailer, the English dubbed version seem to be done admirably right. Its opening on 20 Sept in selected theatres. Hope that it can be rewarded with a U.S. wide opening, scoring much better than Princess Mononoke!!

Bought Ryuichi Sakamoto's album "MORELENBAUM2/SAKAMOTO: CASA" in one of the trip to Japan's Tsutaya music shop.



The album has been growing on me. The soothing effect that it gives to me is almost on the same par as going into an onsen or sipping coffee on a lazy afternoon.

While not a fan of Mr. Sakamoto, his opinion opposing the U.S.'s recent "war against terrorism" gain my mindshare. Here is an article written by him on it.
