陀飛輪 by Eason Chan

過去十八歲　沒戴錶　不過有時間

夠我沒有後顧　野性貪玩

霎眼廿七歲　時日無多方不敢偷懶

宏願縱未了　奮鬥總不太晚

然後突然今秋

望望身邊　應該有　已盡有

我的美酒　跑車　相機　金錶　也講究

直到世間　個個也妒忌　仍不怎麼富有

用我尚有　換我沒有　其實已用盡所擁有

曾付出　幾多心跳

來換取一堆堆的發票

人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶

秒速　捉得緊了

而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了

為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

勞力是無止境

活著多好　不需要　靠物證

也不以高薪　高職　高級品　搏尊敬

就算搏到　伯爵那地位　和蕭邦的雋永

賣了任性　日拼夜拼　忘掉了為什麼高興

曾付出　幾多心跳

轉載來自

來換取一堆堆的發票

人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶

秒速　捉得緊了

而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了

為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

記住那關於光陰的教訓

回頭走天已暗

你獻出了十吋　時和分

可有換到十吋金

還剩低　幾多心跳

人面跟水晶錶面對照

連自己　亦都分析不了　得到多與少

也許　真的瘋了

那個倒影　多麼可笑

靈魂若變賣了　上鏈也沒心跳

銀或金　都不緊要

誰造機芯　一樣了

計劃了　照做了　得到了　時間卻太少

還剩低　幾多心跳

還在數　趕不及了

昂貴是這刻　我覺悟了

在時計裡　看破一生　渺渺

Clown World?

CLOWN brings happiness not only to children but also adult alike.

However clowning around in office serves different purposes and some of us needed to be UNREAL in order to survive in corporate stage not for the good of the company but for their own basic survival and politically CORRECT, and to be a "team player".

Senior executives who have been empowered to lead any company should respect all opinion and inputs, and give due respect to all their supporting staff instead of abusing their power and expect all to bow to them all the time even if they are in the wrong due to pride.

There is NO good medicine that taste good... only bitter medicine is good for us.

Ancient emperors suffered the same fade and lost their empire literally for ignoring the same truth.

Guys, it is time to wake up now especially during the current economic turmoil for the sake of everybody and the company!

Annual Health Screening & New Lease of Life

*** L I F E ***

It is the time of the year again that most of us are trying to squeeze in some time to get our annual health screening done.

Many of us seems to accept the fact that we need to have at least one health check done every year.

The feeling or rather should I say the agony of waiting for the results of the health check is kind of long and strange agonising journey even though it only takes for a few day.

The anxiousness of getting the report and the contrasty relief we get when the report did not give any surprises are most indescribable feeling of joy.

As many of us find out, when we age, we do get more "not so nice" test results but the funny thing is that we seems to be able to accept readily the findings.

Remember when we fist found out that we have borderline blood pressure results or slightly high cholesterol, it was like death sentence to any young patients.

However, when you get to certain age, we seems to be able to accept that these high blood pressure and unaaceptable level of bad cholesterol are normal at that age and seems to accept much better.

Every year after this health screen, we seem to have another new lease of life for at least another year as in reborn, and I can't describe how one feels about this strange feeling of freshness and vitality

Share with us how you feel if you have recently went for a health screening...

Rodeo - Sports or Animal Abuse

*** R O D E O ***

I was at a rodeo show recently which was held first time in this part of the world, and I was enjoying the show until it suddenly dawned on me that those lovely animals have to endure the routine of being forced to run, roped and wrestled during the show and it can be repeated at least 2 to 3 times a day.

This is hard life as in working in the corporate world experiencing the same abusive treatment daily but the only difference is that we have a choice to cut that off (if we are financially strong enough) and choose another route.

What can these animal do with this repeated abusive treatment day-in-day-out in order for their owners to earn a dole to keep their lives going and provide them some food ...?

Is there a way out for these animals or for people in the corporate worlds... Are we going to work until we drop...?

How many rounds of economic recession or even depression do we have to endure in our adult lives before our own sunsets?

What do we want from our lives? Is there a way out?

Economic & Financial Turmoil - Golden Pond

Are you also pondering over any possibility of a golden future after the recent massive financial turmoil started in US and now spreading globally?

Are we ready for a big CHANGE ourselves to prepare for imminent setback which would definitely affect our family lifestyles to certain extend?

We need to brace ourselves adequately at least for the next 12 to 18 months for the onslaught of this economic and financial turmoil.

[This particular photo has made me feel good in a sense that I am progressing with my personal photography skills. This high IQ image with golden background and Flamingos does give us a good feeling which stirs our emotions. The details and tone of the image also make the image more exciting]

MotoGP & Speed

I attended my first MotoGP last year but I was still a novice with dSLR camera then.

One year later, It was obvious that my photography skills have improved further with this panning shot, I feel more confident now wih the dSLR camera.

I have also upgraded my camera from EOS 350 to EOS 5D and it does help a lot on colour tones and details in addition to ease of taking photos under dim light conditions.

Camera lenses do play a major role in getting good IQ photos particularly with longer reach telephoto and wide angle lenses. L-lenses are a must if cost is not an issue esp with bigger aperture of at least 2.8 as it provides high IQ images.

High ISO capability of camera do help esp the light conditions or for indoor shots without flashlights.

Having said all the above, this does not mean that basic dSLR does not give good and acceptable results.

Journey of dSLR Photographer

Slightly more than one year ago..... I started to pick up my very first SLR camera; what an experience it was. Every single shot meant a lot to me and it was indeed an ecstasy to me.

This is my very first photo and I was so thrilled with this final result.
