Reporting Live: Top Gear Live @ HK

first time in hk, last stop of the global tour, so how was it? let's just say it was what i had expected, nothing more, nothing less.


me getting overly excited at the entrance

something i could never own. sigh...

this seems more affordable and right for my size

fits me perfectly!

surprisingly, this was the only car girl at the show. it's sad but true. nonetheless, she was hot and i had my fair share. ~_^

and now, onto part 2, the main event!

let the show begin!!!

there were a few empty seats but close enough for a full house.

my favourite part of the show - car football.

here's a taste of the show, drift at its best. never thought that hkcec would allow this but they did. = ) i am sure you can catch more of the excitement on youtube.

all in all, it was a decent show. the live experience definitely beats watching it on tv or internet. the sponsorship support was lacking though as a result of the current economic situation; hence, the exhibition could have been bigger and better. i also felt that the WOW factor was missing and there could have been a special stunt to top off the show, given this was the last stop. nonetheless, i hope they will inject some new and fresh ideas into the show and i look forward to catching it again.

You know you are getting old when...

you start talking about:
- life insurance policies
- quiting smoking
- eating healthy and sleeping early
- how parts of our body cannot function properly
- where to find good deals for wedding rings

these were some of the topics that my friends and i discussed this evening while we were paying a visit to a friend at the hospital. depressing really but necessary.

shit hits the fan and hence, i've been doing a lot of self-reflection lately. i realized that i'm about to finish the 1st chapter of my life's trilogy (given i live to be 90) and how i've really done nothing for myself and in some cases, the people around me (i.e. parents, close friends, charity). maybe its a good time to re-arrange my priorities and really understand the life cycle. maybe becoming a monk can help speed up my thought process...

Thank you for walking with me

人生的路那麼長恰如由鬧市走到草原
由草原走到海灘 由海灘走到沙漠
在每一個階段也有人陪你走 免你於孤單
其實還怨什麼呢? 分手時刻固然傷心
但每一個歷經過分手的人
如果想起那時呼天怨地的情景 不禁會笑自己傻
我現在不是活的好端端的?
如果可以豁達地想想，那一段日子沒有他/她的出現
真不知怎樣把空餘的時間填充
有時分手不一定是為了性格不合
感情淡然或是第三者
當一個人的生命列車要轉軌時…
在旁的伴侶未必能並肩而行…
只要能陪他/她走過十分之一的路程
那已經是一種榮幸

Happy Birthday!

i got a special call from my parents tonight wishing me a happy birthday. i was like "huh?". i then realized it was my lunar birthday, which happens to be jan 15th (feb 9th), tomorrow. i guess they told me this in the past but i never really celebrated with the lunar calendar.

since there will not be a feb 29th this year, i will do a special celebration entry for myself. i wish myself a happy birthday. i am not going to list out my wishes because the list would go on and on. the best birthday wish a person can get is to have all his/her wishes come true (greedy!).

here is a little birthday gift for myself. a 1999 acura 1.6el with all the works. well, not all the works, just some personal touches on the outside and under the hood. more could of been done if i still had her. sigh... just a way to commemorate my first love. i miss u and hope you are in good hands.

Have you ever looked up yourself on the internet?

i did this once several years ago and didn't get much. i was browsing the net tonight and thought, "what the hell, lets look up myself on the internet". the results were a bit more pleasant this time.

with google, using my real name "kevinon" as the keyword, i found my twitter and blogspot at the top 5.

with google, using my online nickname "lazymardafcuka" as the keyword, i found my vox blog (no longer in use), my AND account (yeah!) and youtube channel at the top of the list.

with yahoo, using my online nickname "lazymardafcuka" as the keyword, i found my youtube channel, AND account and forum posts at the top of the list.

however, it was very disappointing to see that my blogspot had a technorati authority ranking of 1, which basically means no one reads my blog.
