I don’t see the future

Orlando returned to work after vacation, and proved that he is not planning to leave, he stays and continue to  tease me when he get the mood… Poor me .  It is kind of weird that I don’t see Shelly at work anymore.  The business at this week is very quiet,  I don’t get the mood of working too.  Well, I don’t see the future for working here.  It’s time for me to plan ahead.

One year anniversary@ Canadian Tire

One year gone by, I saw staffs left one by one, and most of the staffs who joined about the same time were left,  Shelly and the supervisor, Michael are leaving soon.  There are rumor about Orlando may leave.  Due to the business loss, all departments starts to have more hours cut backs next week, I guess more staffs are going to quit during the following months.  God, what is your plan for me?

How can Summer be that cool

Is this Summer.  Under these rainy days the summer become very cool, it feels like Autumn. Though, it’s rained all day, but it didn’t swept away the moods for the people came for shopping.  Today was not that quiet, though it’s not busy, but today was not  like those old bored days.   I didn’t expected today was Cynthia last shift at Canadian Tire, I’ll missed her.  Many people steal stuff at our store, as I think this place is the most easiest place for stealing because no security guards guard at the entrances and exits,  and we hardly cash the theft because the store is too big.  Today, a customer stole half of a bike tire instead of the whole tire.  What the heck!  What does the theft on his/her mind?  Working at Canadian Tire store, you could see so many types of weird people.

星島日報 誓保音樂創作自由 林一峰拒為獎項妥協

(星島日報報道)林一峰的全新國語大碟名為《思路》，原

來他創作這張新碟的原因，只是希望大家了解香港開埠百年以來的故事，為香港洗脫「無文化」的形象，幫港人爭回一口氣。文：鍾舜英 圖：鄧國良

林一峰坦言這次出碟主要目的是要為港人爭回一口氣，因他早前一次外遊時遇上一些外國人，問到他們為何不選擇香港，改而選擇上海和北京作落腳地或旅遊目的地，那些人均指因為香港沒有文化，一峰聽了這番話後大感氣忿難平，所以誓要借新碟帶出香港百年故事給大家聽聽。

他今次更是一張以《去路》和一張以《歸途》作主題，雙碟合璧而成，一峰形容歸途是人生的一個進程，因他已去過很多次旅行，也到過很多個城市，當他每到一個城市後，他總會在當地問一問地產公司，再問一問當地的朋友生活情況，得回來的答案就只有：香港還是他的家，香港對他來說還未完，但他卻有隨時準備到別的國家生活的想法，「對我來說，家是一個有人明白你的地方，至於是哪個地方，現在我想大多是德國的柏林了，因柏林是歐洲最容易落腳的城市，那裏十分方便，當地創作氣氛濃厚，對我來說現在的紐約經已太飽和了，只能當作是養分吸取地；但相對柏林則是一個發展藝術的好地方，仍有很多發展空間存在；而香港則是木人巷，是從事藝術入們的最好練武之地。」

想當環保鬥士

入行以來一峰所走的創作路綫都不太主流，那他又可曾想過為了攞獎而作出音樂上的改變呢？一峰斷言，絕不會這樣想，「我不會改變歌路來遷就獎項，因我感到擁有獨特性緊要過一切，亦是最實在，獎項卻是很虛無飄渺的東西。」他更笑言：「在香港樂壇勢力範圍以外的地方就如台灣的『金馬獎』和內地的『華語傳媒獎』等，我也拿過很多獎項呢！獲得這些獎項我沒有特別做過些甚麼，只是做好自己的音樂，如果要我犧牲很多自由來換獎，我不會因此而妥協。」

除了自由創作音樂外，一峰終極人生目標就是希望能像動畫《怪醫黑傑克》主角般，將不同的島買下來，繼續維持各島的簡樸，避免一切人為的污染，「要學怪醫黑傑克般將島買下當然困難，但我更希望有多個不同的黑傑克出現來保育環境。」

■林一峰想學《怪醫黑傑克》，買下不同的島來保護環境，志願宏大。

■去過全世界很多地方，但林一峰始終認為香港才是家。

■林一峰認為擁有創作自由才最實在，獎項反而很虛無。

Decided to become VCBC member

‘d attending VCBC for more than half year.  After we bought a new house, I thought of looking for a new church closer to the new home.  Finding a suitable church and suitable fellowship is not an easy task, I joined few different churches before attending VCBC, and I don’t want to need time for adapting new environment anymore.  For I decided not to look for another church, I decided to join the church membership.  Surprisingly,  I met my niece, Irene, after the worship service. Very embarrassed I didn’t recognised her until she said hi to me. At the first moment I met her, I thought she really looked like my relative, but I didn’t think she was Irene. How dare I!!!  Besides Michelle, I didn’t know she is also attends this church, and we never met since I attended this church for so long.
