It's not hard to fall, but it's very hard to go back up after your fall. After reading the interview Liu made, I really respect him alot and I hope that he can soon be back to the track field. He needs our support and helping hands.
劉翔：不能怨天尤人
(明報)8月19日 星期二 10:20
中國「欄王」劉翔表示，對於昨日退出奧運110米欄預賽，感到非常抱歉，但他一定要樂觀一點。
劉翔接受中央電視台訪問時表示，有太多人關心及支持他，他感到非常抱歉，但實在沒有辦法。他表示，從準備活動開始我的腳就覺得不行，連慢跑都感到痛。
他指出，在前兩個星期的測試中自己還跑出了12秒9幾的成績，他也想頂下去，但擔心他的腳跟腱。
在要退出一刻，他說：「那個時候真的是，無法形容的感覺，我想，我真的要在北京奧運會預賽就出局嗎？但是事實就是這樣，不過我還是比較冷靜的。」
劉翔稱，他一定要樂觀一點，不能怨天尤人，現時最重要是治理好腳部傷勢，將來仍有機會。

食魚子醬黑松露 八國峰會18碟佳餚豪宴捱轟
食魚子醬黑松露 八國峰會18碟佳餚豪宴捱轟 (明報) 07月 09日 星期三 05:10AM
【明報專訊】今年八國峰會其中一個主要議題為全球糧食危機。八國領袖一邊高談糧價上漲、糧食短缺及非洲貧窮的解決之道，但另一邊卻飽嘗東道主日本安排的18碟盛宴佳餚，包括魚子醬、黑松露、北海道毛蟹等！這份極盡奢華的晚宴菜單，招來抨擊。
毛蟹宴每位耗3000港元
周二晚宴的主題是「北海道，對地球和海洋的祝福」，合共8道菜式18碟佳餚，包括魚子醬、煙三文魚海膽、燒羊肉配黑松露等；就是午餐也有5道菜，包括白露筍松露湯、杏仁油毛蟹配青橄欖醬、釀雞腿等。負責的主廚是日本首位獲得米芝蓮評級的大廚中村勝宏。周三晚上領袖會繼續享用價值逾3000港元一餐的毛蟹宴，以及約800港元1公斤的小龍蝦。
只在幾天前，英國首相白高敦才呼籲國民不要浪費食物，當局的研究小組更稱英國家庭每年浪費總計大約400萬噸糧食。救助兒童會的發言人說「在世界上百萬計人都不得安飽的時候，如此揮霍實在非常偽善」。
舉辦這次八國峰會所費不菲。會議耗資逾43億港元，這筆錢足夠購買1億個蚊帳，讓非洲人民避免染上瘧疾，單是在峰會後將拆卸的國際媒體中心，建築費也達3.7億港元，另還未計當局出動2萬警員的保安花費。
提出2050年前廢氣減排一半
八國元首昨就減排廢氣達成共識，提出2050年前將二氧化碳等溫室氣體排放量比「現狀」減少一半的「世界整體目標」，又一致同意制訂2020年的中期減排目標，惟並無任何實質路線圖。日本首相福田康夫也承認，八國集團的共識中，溫室氣體減半的基準年，已不再是《京都議定書》所定的1990年，而變為語義含糊的「現狀」。共議協議也沒觸及各國關於2020年中期減排目標的具體數字。

Unlike the Other Gathering
Everyone showed up last night except Tap. I guess you are sad or something. My friend, I hope you are doing fine!
We had dinner at Suzuki Langham Place. The meal was good and we had a very good time. Mac came back and he will move back to HK after over a year away from HK (?!?). Actually I haven't seen them for a long time. Though our friendship always remains!
We talked about you too Cching, I expressed our situation and things happened after we broke up. Seriously, whatever I said was a past. I never regret our times together even the time we fought. If we didn't care or didn't have feeling for another, we wouldn't have fought. I just think that I wasn't mature when I met you. My love for you was so little. Anyway, I wish you all the best because after all, you treated me very good. I hope that one day when both of us can really forgive and forget, we can talk again and maybe even be friends.

Shows, Sichuan And People Around Us
For all the people who came to the Shu Yan show on last Saturday. Sorry our set was cut short due to some issues. I won't try to name names but there was a band who didn't show up at soundcheck and it caused the show to over-run. Let's give some support to the Shu Yan students because they worked hard to organize this show for everyone.
Next, our band played pretty bad that night. For my part, I was too emotional driven and I coudln't clam myself down. Before we started our set, I told all my bandmates that since it's the first time we played a show after the earthquake, so I wanted to dedicate the show to the people who died or survive. When we played "Po Liu", our last song, my head was images of Sichuan earthquake and I thought we people in HK are way too lucky to have the luxury playing expensive musicial equipments. I had this gulity feeling with me for awhile now you know?!?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy all the great bands from last night and I hope that we all remember that we can give alot to the people who need, starting the people around you.

Taiwan 3/22-26
It was a great trip to Taiwan! I went to Taipei, Tainan, Keelong. This time I got to visit some music places that I didn't go last time. The Wall was a great place to watch a show, although you told me this place's sound isn't that great. You know, HK doesn't even have a place as close as The Wall. I also went to a big music store but instruments in TW are more expensive than HK so I guess I am lucky to live in HK. I lived in different places from some poor motel to some nice hotel. It's all good to me because I was with you. Well, this time I didn't eat so much but I still had some good food! Anyway, we had a very great time and may God bless both of us! Your arm will be ok so don't worry be happy.
Some 9 Years Old Students... WTF
一批9歲小學生全副武裝圖謀害女教師
(星島) 04月 02日 星期三 02:14PM
美國揭發一宗駭人聽聞的學生企圖謀害老師事件，喬治亞州一批只有9歲大的小學生，膽大包天，竟然攜帶全副武器和裝備，包括一把折斷了的牛扒刀、手扣和膠布返回學校，密謀傷害一名老師。幸而他們未真正採取行動，便及時遭到制止。該批小學生一共9人，在喬治亞州韋克羅斯鎮的中心小學（Center Elementary School）內就讀。有一名學童上周五向老師舉報，聲稱見到有同學攜帶武器進入校園內，多名老師採取行動，對該批嫌疑學生進行問話和搜查，及時粉碎了他們的襲擊陰謀，並報警求助。 韋克羅斯鎮警方發言人卡斯韋爾稱，該批學生要襲擊的對象，是一名教授他們的女教師。別看他們年紀小小，他們行事之前制訂了一套計劃，首先用手扣把該名女教師鎖起，然後用膠布封著她的嘴巴，再用紙鎮重擊她的頭部，必要時可能用牛扒刀割她。不過，卡斯韋爾稱，部分學生聲稱，那把牛扒刀不是用來傷人，只是用來割斷膠布。即時未知道該批學生為何要對付該名女教師。

Time runs so fast! Talked to Henry today and I realized I have broken up with cching for 9 months now. Anyway, I wish her all the best! For Henry, he's coming back to HK in June. He also reminded me that he's been married for 2 1/2 years. Hey Henry, I think it's time to make baby! :) I think it's your turn because Scott and Andy both gave birth to their babies few months ago.

患厭食症女子剩50磅昏迷送院
To all my friends specially the girls, please read this if you are desperate to lose weight. This is one sad story!
患厭食症女子剩50磅昏迷送院
(明報) 02月 10日 星期日 05:05AM
【明報專訊】一名21歲女子疑患上厭食症致體重僅餘約50磅，昨日在黃大仙 竹園南鸷寓所不支昏迷，家人發現大驚報警求助，女事主由救護車送院，情況危殆。
患厭食症女事主姓廖，21歲，送院時體重剩餘約50磅，瘦骨嶙峋、嚴重營養不良，一度情況危殆，經搶救後情況嚴重。
消息稱，廖女與家人同住竹園南鸷富園樓某室，原本體重90多磅，疑患上厭食症，近月體重劇降只剩餘約50磅，經常暈眩不適，嚴重營養不良達危險線。昨晚約9時，疑廖女體力不支昏迷，家人發現她呼吸非常微弱，大驚報警送院救治。
有專家指出，差不多逾九成進食失調症患者也是由減肥引起，因近年時下非常流行纖體，不少廣告也大力鼓吹「瘦即是美」，令減肥成風，一些價值觀仍未確立的青少年便很容易受廣告和朋友影響，認同瘦即是美而減肥，但部分人可能因過度減肥，以致患上進食失調症（厭食症或暴食症）。
