Jazz It Up, Paris
Dragging my rimowa hand carry (I tried hard to go light) from Gare du Nord , I checked into a wrong hotel in Saint Michel on the wrong date, forgotten to print my map out while the french hotel receptionist are so “carefree” that they didn’t even bother to help… A look at my watch, … Read more

What surprised or not surprising me was, among so many brand, e.g. Helmut Lang, Acne, D&G, Dsquare, they are now all made in … Read more
Music at Cafe, Cab Calloway
Transformed in time suddenly, sitting at a little cafe, music played and this is the song. Fun scat singing performance by the King of Cool, not too sure if this is at the Cotton Club in Harlem (NYC) but definitely a super cool video with charisma, check it out. “Minnie the Moocher” is a jazz song first … Read more
Midnight in Paris
After few uneven films (remember the last film You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger begins with Macbeth quote: “Life’s but a walking shadow … full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” probably pointlessness is precisely the point here.) Don’t get me wrong. I adore Woody! One of my intellectual idols! His comedies are always at … Read more

到倫敦Membership Club- Boundary排隊
不少人說香港人愛排隊。 排免費飲品，排演唱會門票，排iPad , 排Volar, Dragon i 等等。一見到隊，想也不想便跳進去。我本人認為不僅香港人愛排隊。總之有好東西的地方，即使窮人，有錢人, 紐約人，巴黎人或倫敦人也會排隊。 上星期我在倫敦Bricklane開完會後，會合英國好朋友Ian。 他大力建議帶我到附近一家Membership Club名Boundary(邊界)的屋頂酒吧, 來個Cosmopolitan。說那裡景色美, 可看到大部分的倫敦市, 卻又矛盾地警告我, 多半需排至少一個小時隊。 “I love rooftop！但我討厭排隊哦 Ian……”我猶豫地說。 他接著說，“好的好的大人，如果有一個大長龍，我們就去別的地方好了。” 離開充斥著warehouse 跟 pubs的 Bricklane, 走過 Shoreditch High Street，我們再走過我極愛但昂貴的Les Trois Garçons, Lounge Lover，接著行過倫敦最cool, 最大的私人會員俱樂部Shoreditch House, 便到了Boundary。 沒有長龍, 不用排隊哦！ 真幸運。 或許是下午5時許的關係，人家仍在工作罷。 一位穿黑西裝六尺二高似Body Builder的守衛走前來問：“yes, may I help you?” Ian掀起胸膛說，“我們正想上Rooftop喝一口”。 警衛停了片刻, 跟人walkie talkie後。 便伸手引領路向說，“Please” “yohoo！”我裝出嚴肅的面目低聲大叫。 進了電梯，上到屋頂。真的又一番風味，夏天陽光照耀著那裡綠油油的樹。 擁抱360度，範圍由Canary Wharf 延伸到 Gherkin … Read more
Line worth lining up for – Boundary, London
One thing I realised so far is, quite a few people love lines. To get free drinks, concert tickets, getting into clubs etc. They say Hong Kong people loves to line up. When they see a queue, they jump into it right away without knowing what they are lining up for. It happens not … Read more
You Keep Me Hangin’ On
Suddenly came across same song again out of nowhere. My last encounter was at my London exhibition on Brick Lane, The Old Truman Brewery little while ago. I decided to use this super vintage song “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by the original Vanilla Fudge, 1968 throughout my exhibition space, ON REPEAT. Totally love it. … Read more
