電燈加價,即係叫啲人唔好再住港島區,如果衣食住行港島區都係最貴嘅話,咁邊道仲會有人住港島區呀。啲人成日話要縮窄貧富兩極分化,電燈加價 7.2%,對一啲低收入家庭嚟講,絕對係一個沉重嘅負擔,咁樣只會將貧富兩極化加劇。亞嘉成哥,你都搵夠啦,比條生路大家行下好喎!

衝紅燈扣五分我覺得無問題,不過罰 600 蚊就小咗啲喇。其實政府可以考慮下罰衝紅燈嘅人多啲錢,阻嚇性會更加大。香港人最鍾意就係錢,最唔鍾意就係唔見咗啲錢,尤其係比人罰錢,最怕。

高空擲物傷人乜唔係應該要去坐監嘅咩,點解只係扣分? 高空擲物已經成為香港有啲地區嘅『特式』,有啲人為咗貪方便、貪小便宜就亂咁拋垃圾出街。不過我可以話你知,根據我嘅調查發現,貪小便宜嘅人係永遠唔會發達嘅!

我架車原來已經符合歐盟四期廢氣排放標準! ;)

Dragostea Din Tei

我諗有好多人都聽過羅馬尼亞三人組合 O-ZoneDragostea Din Tei(英文版叫 Ma Ya Hi)。我之前唔識哩首歌,有一次我無啦啦睇咗一個叫做 Numa Numa Dance 嘅無里頭自拍 video 之後就識咗哩首歌,首歌愈聽愈鍾意,之後重發現有好多人學 Numa Numa Dance 嗰條友咁用哩首歌做背景音樂,有啲重連手勢動作表情都學埋,拍咗好多 video post 上網,次次睇完都笑死咁濟。今日就同大家分享一下哩啲 video,不過唔好笑得咁大聲,費事嘈親隔離!

Enjoy!

The Italian Man Who Went to Malta

This is very funny. Click the > button below to play the audio clip. I am so sure you will laugh like hell.

One day I gonna to Malta to a big hotel, in the morning I go down to eat a breakfast. I tell the waitress that I want two pieces of toast. She brings me only one piece. I tell her “I wanna two pieces”. She say “Go to the toilet”. I say “you don’t understand, I wanna two pieces on my plate”. She say to me: “you better not piss on the plate, you sonnawabitch”. I do not even know this lady and she call me a sonnawabitch! Later I go to eat at a bigger restaurant. The waiter brings me a spoon and a knife but no fork. I tell her “I wanna a fork” and she tell me: “everyone wanna f@?k “. I tell her “you don’t understand me… I wanna fork on the table”. She say: “you better not f@?k on the table you sonnawabitch”.

So I go back to my room in my hotel and there is no sheets on the bed. I call the manager and tell him “I wanna a sheet”. He tell me to go the toilet. I say “you don’t understand I wanna a sheet on my bed”. He say: “you better not shit on the bed, you sonnawabitch”.

I go to the Check out and the man at the desk said “peace on you”, and I say: “Piss on you too, you sonnawabicth”. I gonna back to Italy!

Audio Player WordPress Plug-in

I think I need some multimedia functions in my blog. So, now, I have the Audio Player WordPress Plug-in (by 1 Pixel Out) installed. This plug-in allows me to insert MP3 files in Flash form into my posts and pages.

Here you go an example:

Click the > button to play the audio
Click the || button to pause the audio

Enjoy.

Updates: I found that the current version of this plug-in was not able to display Chinese ID3 tags from the MP3 files. I have informed Martin (the author) already. He promised that he would consider adding full character set support into future releases. Thanks Martin.

Merry Christmas!

WTO MC6 終於完結,聖誕節嘅氣紛除即擁現,好多人出街購物,周圍都好多人,尤其係銅鑼灣同旺角,迫得水洩不通。我自己好鍾意聖誕節,因為聖誕節係慶祝耶穌誕生,一個普世歡騰嘅大日子,當然值得開心。而且我好鍾意冬天,同埋可以同我鍾意嘅人喺埋一齊(肉麻?冇錯!我有時都覺得自己好肉麻!),又有長假期(華府老規矩,規定放到 New Year 假期後先至要番工,唔洗扣假),又可以食到我亞媽整嘅豬排、火雞同葡國雞(我亞媽整乜都好好味架,尤其係哩幾味),人生如此,夫復何求!

祝大家聖誕快樂!I wish you a Merry Christmas!

後記:今年我地屋企嘅聖誕大餐一如以往咁好味,好多嘢食,多到又一如以往咁食唔哂,之後又一如以往咁要日日要食火雞粥清貨,不過食幾多都無問題,有得食亞媽整嘅飯餸係一種福份,多謝媽媽!

James’ Audi A4 Avant

尋晚亞占士哥同埋亞珍姐嚟到我屋企附近 call 我話同我飲杯嘢喎,我當然係豪不猶豫咁應承佢地啦。換個快衫,跟住就一個箭步出咗去。一落到樓下就已經見到亞占士哥架 Audi A4 Avant 以其極之神秘嘅保護色(簡單啲講,姐喺黑色)哩埋咗喺一邊。我一步一步咁慢慢行過去,我心情固然興奮,但係又有點緊張。終於,行到埋去,一睇,嘩,架車真係好靚,絕對係人間極品!

內籠

一坐到上架車已經發覺 Audi 絕對並不是浪得虛名,無論內籠佈局同用料都真係十分講究,攪到我坐喺亞占士哥架車咁耐,摸足佢 … 架車個內籠咁耐,重要一路摸一路嗌『嘩,好正呀!』、『嘩,好勁呀!』,愈摸愈 high(係愈嗌愈 high 先啱)!跟住我地就去咗鯉景灣飲嘢。

引擎

架 Audi A4 Avant 雖然用同 GTI 一樣嘅 2.0T FSI engine,但係就無 GTI 嗰種爆炸力。可能係因架車比 GTI 重好多,同埋唔係用 DSG 波箱(佢用 Multi-tronic 波箱)嘅關係所至。整體嚟講,架車尚算好力。

避震

占士哥架 A4 係屬於 S-Line 版本,避震比普通版硬,其吸震同反彈表現非常好,硬過 A6 Avant S-Line(可能因為 A6 Avant S-Line 跟 18 吋軨,又要有舒適嘅感覺,所以避震無咁硬),但係又未至於好硬,我覺得 GTI 個避震硬啲、穩定啲。沙板同車胎(車頭)啱啱好有兩隻手指位距離,車身高度適中。

軨,車胎

唔係好明點解 S-Line 版本都只係跟 16 吋軨,唔係話唔夠用,但係就唔係好襯 S-Line 個 image。以 2.0T FSI engine 個 torque 咁高,17 吋軨會適合好多,一來靚仔啲,二來又唔會怕唔夠力。車胎方面使用 Michelin,Michelin 個特性得一個字 … 『靜』,其它特性欠奉,所以高速行駛(尤其係轉彎)時有啲浮。

評論

占士哥架 Audi A4 Avant 個 default setup 已經好正,可以唔洗點改。有時唔係話要改嘢架車先會勁嘅,最靚嘅 setup 其實就係 default setup(以 overall performance 嚟講)。不過如果占士哥都想遲啲 mod 下架車,可以考慮下換 18 吋胎軨先,18 吋胎軨可以增加轉彎穩定性。用 19 吋胎軨雖然係會靚仔啲(我曾經見過一架白色嘅 A4 Avant S-Line 用 19 吋 BBS CH,好鬼靚!),但係我就覺得唔好玩 19 吋喇,因為好易 “r”,又無力。跟住玩到咁上吓先至好諗下換硬啲個避震同 chip 架車,不過最好過咗保養期先好 chip,否則大昌有權唔保。
