竹脇無我

如果你七十年代係香港長大，就很可能為竹脇無我著迷過，二人世界、姿三四郎，當時都是我追看的戲集。如果你也在同一個年代長大，看看這短片，懷念一番吧！

Inspiration from a diamond rose

I often wonder how it would be like for people who can basically walk into a store and buy ANYTHING they want, price is not a issue, because there will always be money at their disposal. I finally have a taste of that when playing with Growing Gift in Facebook.

You can send Growing Gifts to friends, and it is particularly attractive to someone like me, who cannot resist plants and flowers. The trick is, you only have so many seeds to 'buy' the flowers, they all have a 'price'. The more special it is, the more seeds it requires.

Now, the one 'plant' that costs the most seeds, is a rose that is made of diamond. It costs 1000 seeds. Which is hard to obtain, and even if you get that many seeds, you have to weight if you want to spend it all on one plant, or if you would rather use it on other plants.

I surprisingly, found a way to obtain as many seeds as I want, legally (I am not breaking any Facebook rules, nor am I hacking in anything. (Well, not like I can hack into anything even if I want to.) I just found a way. Which in just one night by working hard on it, I obtained over a thousand seeds, and in the process of doing that, I also benefited my friends. After a while, I gradually accumulated several thousand seeds.

The big question comes: Do I want to spend a thousand seeds on the diamond rose? Does it even worth it?
Suddenly, I understand why rich people might not necessarily be happy with all they have.
They are not happy because the diamond rose that costs 1000 seeds are not that special anymore. Yes, I worked hard in obtaining it, but now, it is in my pocket, what's next? They don't have anything that costs more than 1000 seeds.

I suddenly understand why Michael Phelps smokes marijuana and drink excessively. After you reach the top, where are you going to go next?

Smelly fingers and stainless steel

Wonderful news for home chefs who loves to use garlic but hate to have fingers that smell like garlic after you smesh 10 cloves of the super strong smelling bulbs, or for those who loves to clean their own fish.

Rub your hands with stainless steel. No kidding. I have been doing this for over a year now. There are cataglogs where they sell blocks of stainless steel for this purpose.

After you smesh garlic, clean fish, or anything that is smelly, just rub your hands on any stainless steel you can find in the kitchen. I have tried rubbing my hands on the sink, the handle of a knife, a spoon, faucets, etc. Anything that is stainless steel will work. Just make sure you rub all sides of your fingers and hands that are smelly.

Now if the only stainless steel thing you own is a knife, I will not recommend you rubbing your hand on the blade. it is much better to have smelly fingers than bleeding ones.
