Hey me! Talk to me!
Paternal side, that is…
Indeed. That is the meaning of the enunciation of the name Takuma Sato in Cantonese. In Hong Kong, “Arrival of Big Auntie (maternal side)” in Cantonese would mean menstruation.
Formula 1 Team BAR has announced today their 2004 drivers line-up to be Jenson Button and Takuma Sato, after canning former F1 Would Champion Jacques Villeneuve.
A call with the repairman reviewed that there were indeed a couple of other parts that were at fault. The parts and labour was listed at just over HKD$200 plus $100 shipping and handling; however, the manager has waived all charges without my asking, since he figured that it might have been an oversight by the repairman during the two previous visits which otherwise could probably have been fixed on site.
They have been running the TV for a couple of weeks without any problem, and will return it on Thursday.
Not too bad a service.

This has got to be one of the most over-rated TV shows I have ever seen. Well OK, so it isn’t Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon bad, The Office is not a movie though. The show revolves around a team manager with his team staffs of a company which have recently gone through a merger of two branches.
The main character, the recently promoted team manager, desperately trying to convince his team staffs how wonderful, easy going, and fulfil guy he really is, which he is not. The team staffs, who themselves are a bunch of losers, are continually stunted speechless by the manager’s racist and discriminatory “jokes” during the course of the day at the office.
The show takes an unusual approach to film in a live documentary style. The only good quality the show has is that the actors and actresses did a fine job in acting out their characters as candid as it could possibly be. So well so that if not for a couple of better known actors and actresses in the show, one would not know this is actually just a sitcom.
Unfortunately, the audience get the same feelings as the team staffs do while watching the manager going on his way, saying to themselves - this guy is not funny at all. Also, while watching the other staffs going on their daily office choirs, one would get the odd “Ha!” here and there, yet couldn’t help but ask oneself how much more stupid could this miserable bunch of losers get.
You may get a refreshing feel watching one episode. Watching two episodes, like which I just happened to flipped the channel through, one would feel “daaah…”. I don’t see how anyone could watch a third episode let alone the one season plus shows.
WhaUSay?!
