SARS making almost everybody in Hong Kong equipped with mouth mask on the street. As I have been on mouth mask on most day time for the last 2 weeks, I earn more knowledge of these mouth mask. My current favorite becomes the "duck beak shaped" Kimberly-Clark PFR95 "N95 compliant" mask. The mask could be folded into a few papers' thickness when not in use. It comply with the N95 standard, meaning that 95% of the air particles could be filtered, which can keep you away from tuberculosis and even anthrax infection. Plus, when you wear it, you will look exactly like "Howard the Duck"!

Sad news of Leslie Cheung's suicide shocks me tonite! He was one of the singers that I become more and more respect to, in terms of his music and his acting. May he rest in peace...

Last weekend, I have been staying at home, avoiding the odds of getting infected by SARS. Mostly, I was playing Nintendo Game Cube's "The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker". One of the best game that I've ever played. The story was interesting, game play of very fine tuned and enjoyable, but what capture my heart most was the sense of adventuring in a huge world. I actually feel like emerged in one of those scandinavian folk tale. The art direction was marvellous (yes, I like the toon shading effects and the character design!). The acting by the game characters were groundbreaking. What a treat!

SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) has been causing major disturbance in HK. Almost more than half people are wearing masks when they are out on the street. Its sad that the government and the hospitals weren't doing enough in earlier time to confine the spreading of the virus! Its even more sad that mainland China weren't giving out enough news and warning when the outbreak occurred there almost 5 months ago! Well, I guess the stability of the nation is always the number 1 priority...
