An Incident Earlier This Week

An afternoon early this week I received a call from one of the tenants, telling me that there was a stranger with dyed hair and a badly wounded eye claiming he was from so-and-so local courier company and that he had mistakenly delivered a document to my tenant last week. She was all worried but she managed to send the guy away and called me right away since she never did received anything from that courier company.

I immediately notified the guard on the lobby, described the person to him and asked him if he had seen such a guy came in and left the building. He said a guy fitted the description went up the building about 15 minutes ago and didn’t see him leave. I then told the guard to stop that man and question him should he came out of the building.

Right after I’ve talked to the guard, I called my tenants one by one to see if they had seen the man. Several did, several didn’t. From the information I got from the rest of the tenants, it looked as though the guy was about to leave the building if not already left. I called the guard again but no answer. I then got out of my office, about to go down to the lobby to see what had happened to the guard.

Towards the end of the last season, one of the most informative Formula 1 website formula1.com was acquired by the FIA. Since then, the FIA had stopped the site for a major revamp and came up with this upon opening early this month.

I found the font size used is too small even for 800×600 resolution viewing. Also the information is now much less than what the site had before. I sent an email to the webmaster about 3 weeks ago, urging him enlarge their site and use one size up font instead. I received no reply or response of any kind. Although I think they did switch to one size up font since, the amount of information is still no where near what the previous owner had.

I now go here for my F1 info instead.

Many thanks to my dear cousin Peter, who sent me this link of a Russian site (in English)…

Are Horses Our Bread and Butter?

Due to the infectious via close contact with exhaled droplets nature of the killer Pneumonia virus, we hear local citizens screaming to have schools closed entirely, and we also hear them asking government officials and event organizers why the Hong Kong Rugby 7 event are not being canceled. The Rolling Stones canceled their Hong Kong concert….

How come no one asks to have the crowded twice weekly horse races canceled?

On a lighter note…

It is surprising to see that people in Hong Kong actually have very nice eyes.
