A new report on environment

A depressing read.

Desperately waiting for a cat

: )

For the time being I watch this little cute cat here to kill time.

Mobile Communications

I recently subscribed SmarTone's internet on mobile service, with a monthly fee I can browse the web / check e-mail with the application that came natively with the phone. Rates at $38/month with a daily free usage of 20MB. After that the plan is automatically "upgraded" to $78 for the rest of the month.

I once asked a customer representative at one of the local stores: If on the last day of a billing month my usage exceeded 20MB will they charge $78? They will. A completely rip of if you ask me. I have to use this service very carefully.

The speed is good. One drawback is that the phone display is so tiny it hurts to read for longer than a half an hour, especially on the road. So I don't think I will ever use all of that 20MB. If I do I'll go blind or something.

I feel a little sick tonight. The food seems to be the problem.

無奈

今日我又諗起呢首歌：

是你嗎？你在微微地笑
心跳 如今確是奇妙

在「魁北克」的哥哥、巴士上面的學生、小巴回望嘅男仔……

哈哈，我好變態，經常望住街上邊啲人

但係除咗多啲去文化中心「魁北克」之外我都諗唔到可以做啲乜。

之後我又諗到第二首歌嘅歌詞，來自另一個音樂劇：

我盼當我走到盡頭　他可伴我在身旁

呢句歌詞之後，其實仲有一句。

Coffee

我家有頭狗名 Coffee，從未向朋友露面，它是唐狗，少於一歲。

數天前它死了，父親說原因是它出外吃了不該吃的東西。

雖不是人命，但也是一個小生命，回家時少一個會行會走的動物，有一種說不出的失落感。

原來死是多麼突然，又令我多想人、死、關係、感情的問題。

找不到它的相片，可能遺留在剛報銷的記憶咭裏。

Free Burma!

Ability to reason

More and more often I find out that it is quite common that people around me do not have the ability to reason. When an idea is odd enough they just scrap the whole idea, without giving enough thought on it.

It is as if any one idea must be on a single side of the fence so that it makes sense to anyone, and this idea must be on a side at the extreme. Think about it, when the democrats rejected the proposal for the new election procedures a few years back, were they really supporting a more general election or not? I bet some people just doesn't understand. They don't have the ability to reason.

I recently spent some time reading The Dilbert Blog by Scott Adams. He talked about Cognitive Dissonance a few days earlier and he mentioned an interview of an economist on the topic of global warming. The interviewers were confused, and rejected the economist's idea entirely.

I like the way how he attacked the nonsense. His posts were extremely humourous.

What the hell?
