▋民建聯的張學明昨日便想為北角居民爭取權益，質問政府能不能考慮拆卸屈臣道至電照街一段的東區走廊，改以海底隧道代替，減少噪音。

面對這個質詢，回答的環境運輸及工務局長廖秀冬也不客氣，書面回覆中兩度表明「無任何計劃拆卸」東廊，事關東廊在1981年興建，89年才全線通車，當年工程耗資達17億元，預計壽命120年。換句話說，東廊還有103年命。... ▋

張議員的簡單背景: 張學明議員現任立法會議員。張議員亦為新界社團聯會會長、第十屆全國政協委員及新界鄉議局副主席。1992年加入民建聯，1995年參與立法會新界東北直選，98年循選舉委員會競逐立法會議席，惜均未能贏取議席。至2004年，參與新界西地區直選，與譚耀宗議員一同晉身立法會。

另 06年2月 太陽報訊: 本身係原居民 立法會議員張學明，上星期屋企仲養緊兩隻住家雞。但世事無常，不過係事隔一星期，禽流感四處擴散，政府下令明日開始市民唔 ... 張學明以自己條村為例，話有鄉親養成十幾隻雞，為照顧佢 ，街坊甚至長線旅行都唔肯去，因為怕無人餵雞。

老實講，我覺得廖局長已經算好客氣。換轉係我實反問張議員，如果有鄉民 D 雞仔響新界要橫過馬路，你會唔會建議於 highway 中間整紅綠燈? 我之所以票選自由黨參選人，部分原因都係其他選擇太騎呢。好似張議員呢 D，係立法會唔做小丑，可以做乜?

In stores now.

To celebrate the release of the album, the band will be unveiling their first full-length rockumentary - Lord Don't Slow Me Down. Shot during their Don't Believe The Truth world tour, from May 2005 to March 2006, in which's Hong Kong stop I was a proud and excited attendee.

Spent a few hours @ Gossip 51 celebrating Wai's birthday eve and the birth of Anthony's baby girl.

Having known these guys for a very long time, Wai and David were highschool-mates since 1994, I approached Wai at my 1st day of school in Canada! Anthony was one of the craziest VW lover I've ever met (that's before he switched to Mercedes and the weekend supercar he now owns, of course...), his yellow Driver's Edition MK3 3-Litre VR6 was one-of-a-kind back in our old dubbing days, that was followed by a K04-equipped MK4 GTI 1.8T, chipped and intercooled, his ride smoked VTECs with ease.

And now, a baby's cry beats any super ride.

Volkswagen stepped into the factory-tuned fast car market with its MK4 Golf R32 in 2002, incorporating a powerful 3.2L V6, Heldex 4-Motion all-wheel-drive and a 6-speed manual gearbox, the MK4 R32 was truely a rocket on winding roads. The MK5 Golf R32, arrived as a 2005 model, has kept all the goodies the MK4 had plus a 3.2L FSI powerplant and the option of a DSG gearbox, quickly became one of the most saught-after hot hatch all over the world.



Then by dropping in a 3.6L FSI V6 into the mid-sized sedan, Volkswagen announced recently the factory-tuned Passat R36. Available in the form of both sedan and wagon, the Passat R36 is capable of doing 0-62mph (approx. 0-100kmh) in a mere 5.6sec.

This beautiful song was mentioned by The Gardener in her blog sometime ago, suddenly had the urge to share with all of you here.

Above all

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

根據財經網站 Forbes 報導，著名台灣代工生產商鴻海 Hung Hai (Foxconn) 已獲得 Apple 一紙合約，為其生產 1,200 萬部音樂手機，並將於明年上半年推出市場。

後記: 剛剛和同事 Eric Tang 談起這則新聞， 假設這部手機的售價約為 HK$3,000， 那麼單是這手機便能為 Apple 2007 年度的業績帶來 HK$ 36,000,000,000 (360億港元) 的進帳。 別忘了 Apple 才剛剛推出了 Core2Duo MacBook， 明年還有 Touch Screen Video iPod、 8-core Mac Pro 等新產品。 如果你是 Dell 的股東， 趕緊抹一把汗吧!

小弟與細頭、夫人及 cowboy 參加了本週六舉行一年一度的突破逆旅先鋒，雖然我們參加的組別根本不算什麼逆旅，但那短短八小時旅程中和隊友們的相處及在野外不斷前行中得到的片刻安寧，對經常被瑣事纏身的人來說，卻尤其珍貴。

近來發覺自己的時間分配能力糟得很，工作不用瘋狂 OT，交際手腕也不見得好，夜生活就更加少之又少; 但不知何故總發覺時間不夠用。希望藉著這次旅程，讓繃緊的身心得到放鬆。

多謝隊員，多謝突破，感謝神。

逆旅先鋒主題曲

追追趕趕，日夜不怕力疲。我要踏遍，我要望見，
漫漫長路高山多遠，哪裡是我終點？

攀得多高，並未代表走到。這次是我，自我突破。
緩緩流下汗水中的我，灼熱了心窩。

這一次，不只是我一個獨行，身邊有天使伴我共行。

就算跌倒或許兜錯路，總有你為我鼓舞。

(副)　闖讓我闖，從內心經歷四方。
有創傷苦楚感到失望，但全程我也會嚮往。

飛讓我飛，能站於高地躍起。
跳出自我的界限，逆旅自強作先鋒趕上。
（逆旅路程，在意過程，願意作這先鋒見證。）

Palm 宣佈推出 Treo 680，讓現為日本 Access 旗下，並不支援 3G 制式的 Palm OS 5.4 轉戰入門 Smartphone 市場。Treo 680 的規格和前作 Treo 650 沒有兩樣，值得一提的卻是其一反傳統的機身顏色，及傳聞約為 US$199 (折合HK$ 1500) 的超低訂價!!

AVNET (NYSE:AVT), leading and one of the largest IT distributors worldwide, channel partner and distributor for AMD, Freescale, Sun Microsystems and many other big names, acquires Access Distribution from the hands of GE.

This transaction makes AVNET the leading distributor and a very important partner of Sun Microsystems.

Knowing ones competitor is key to survival in any industry, isn't it?

In Utero is the third and final studio album from the American grunge/punk band Nirvana. It was released in September 1993. In Utero opened at #1 on the Billboard 200, and had hit singles with the songs "Heart-Shaped Box", "Rape Me", and "All Apologies". (source: In Utero - Wikipedia)

Personally I also liked "Pennyroyal Tea", "Serve the Servants" and "Dumb". In Utero marks the haydays of grunge legend Kurt Cobain, its popularity also made this album one of the unmissable classic of the band.

The Tea Party 不算熱門，但偶有佳作，如 The Messenger 便是一例。

小弟的妹子不光是我的好玩伴，更是我的完美 shopping buddy。這次和她一起逛街的戰利品是一件風琴摺 pleated shirt，主要是為粉皮的婚禮而準備，其餘時間用來配襯絲絨褸或牛仔褲也未嘗不可。

找到這件 formal wear inspired piece 的地方，竟然是 IZZUE !! 這個 IT 旗下本地品牌近日多了一條新 line 叫 IZZUE Collection，款式 elegant 了不少，不過價錢當然也不能和 IZZUE 慣賣的街頭服相提並論。

她明天便起程回到 Lake Louise 繼續上班，很不捨得...

都說倒扁是 06 年秋冬其中一項最時髦的玩意兒...
