iMourn - Steve Jobs


Steve Jobs .. . I love your design .. . yeah, I like your ground breaking iMac design. Few years later, you had come out with the iPod ... . woww, the design and the turn-about control is simply fabulous. And years later, the very-much loved iPhone! I just like the platform design and the responsive touches ... . I just like those minimalist design. woww .. . And now the iPad. From iPod to iPad, you have change the consumer pattern and the world. That is incredible!

I am lucky enough to have read up a book on Apple story. Yeah, it is kinda interesting and inspirational tale. I guess I learn to appreaciate Steven Paul Jobs and Apple even more.

I think the above logo is a great tribute to you, Steve Jobs. It is a very-Steve Jobs design. A minimalist yet impactful aesthetic appeal. In fact, I am looking forward for merchandise with this logo. Btw, all thanks to a young Hong Konger who come out with it.

I guess I am a Apple fan to-date. But yet, I had not own any Apple products till now! I am looking forward to get hold on the iPhone soon.

Take Steve Jobs :)

A New Layout To My Blog ... .

I had just change a new layout to my blog ... . yeah :)

I had been shelfing this idea for a long time, coz I kinda dun wana give the old layout format of this blog as it had with me since I started blogging .... .

Maybe I feel like freshen up something in this blog, but the ironic thing is, I still choose a new design with a rather nostalgic country style leave pattern and color ... heee ... .

Anyway, I will stick to this pattern for the time being .. .

Oh yeah, do give me your feedback on this layout.

Losing My R.E.M.

Few days ago, I came across the news that R.E.M. had disbanded. Immediately, I am a bit shock and lost ... in my heart. R.E.M. is one of my favorite music artiste/band. Again, I couldn'e hear anymore fantastic music from one of my admire musicians.

I listened to R.E.M. when I was still schooling, yeah, well I can't remember I first heard it from radio 98.7 FM, weekly MTV dosage or been intro by my friend - Weiqin. But I remember Weiqin and I enjoy listening to Michael Stipe and R.E.M. . Both of us would be at Weiqin's house living room and he will blast the hifi's speaker in front of us.... hee ... . it's a fun and enjoying moment for us. In fact, I still get a kick whenever I listen to R.E.M. I like Michael Stipe's vocal and dancing style. Yeah!!! His dance is absolutely unique and you could tell he is really enjoying himself! Oh yes, I enjoy Michael Stipe's concert performance. He really hook you into his music. It's enchanting.

After so many years, the tracks Losing My Religion, Shining Happy People, Everybody Hurts, Drive and Man On The Moon still give me a great feeling! Losing My Religion's opening is always so addictive and attracting. Shining Happy People is a wonderful uplifting song with an unique 'sudden change' midway through their music. Everybody Hurts and Drive made me kinda 'blue' and 'silence in my world'.

Upon hearing R.E.M.'s songs, they often bring back memories during my school time. It is also during those time, I get expose and enjoy Nirvana, Cranberries, Boys II Men, U2, Metallica, Guns n' Roses .... etc.... the artistes list and songs goes on!!! Woww! Love those music!! I feel kinda fortunate to enjoy those music, yeah, so many wonderful music.

Again, how come my favorite artiste keep disappearing from our world? I feel so kinda 'wasted' that these great musicians still have so much more to offer and sending great moments to us... yet we may or never heard from them again.

Losing my R.E.M. :(

Goodbye Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse, the great Jazz-Soul-R&B artiste had gone. Kinda sad that another very talented, or should I say another exceptionally talented artiste had left us so early. Although people come and people go, but I duno why so many artiste that I like or applause had gone so ... . sudden to me or to so many.

Artiste that left early Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Teresa Teng, Huang Jia Jun(Beyond), Michael Hutchence, Kurt Cobain, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Roman Tam, Michael Jackson ... and now Amy Winehouse. Some gone by illness, some gone by mishap, some gone by ... .

Well, in fact I just realise Amy had written so many of her tracks. How ignorance of me. Now I feel more for her songs, in fact, loving her songs so much more now. I duno is it because she had gone too soon or I admire her as a song writter and singer or she writes those songs on her Back To Black album on her true accounts or feeling for her lyrics' content or she sing so uniquely appealing style or feel some connection with her coz.. well, I heard during interviews, she may talk to you, but at times she just remain silent.. Well, that sound familiar to me, bcoz sometimes I talk and sometimes I just remain silent.

They are people who complain they dun have enough. How much is enough? 1 million? 5 million? or 10 million? What is happiness? Money? Or state of mind? Yeah.. . well, I thought we need both. Maybe I should say it's a balance of both. Maybe sometimes, life's simple pleasure is a pure joy afterall.

Treasure what you have ...
Enjoy while you can ...
Life is a short trip.

Goodbye Amy Winehouse.

I Don't Have A Life

One week ago, 3 of us are relaxing while there are no patrons. 2 of us are local and the Supervisor is a foreigner from Eastern Europe. My other male colleague trying to start a conversation, hence, he ask our Supervisor," So, how's life?"

She reply, "Don't ask me how's life. I have no life. My life is shit."

She's starting to get a bit work up. And continue, " I don't have family, no friends, no saving. And I am single. Everyday, I come to work and go home, come to work and go home. No friends no money."

At this point, I could see she's trying hard to fight back her tears. Both of us got a shock from her reaction. We could only apologise, with guilt.

And she said,"I suppose to have a marriage a month ago. But now, it's gone."

"So don't ask me 'How's life?'. I don't have a life."
