eyes can be deceiving

AI 未必是萬能, 但會令人賞心悅目

AI may not be almighty, however it makes you feel good even you know it is not real.

運動對抗三高

小老頭每年都會做一次三高測試。 這次結果最滿意。因為今回是由運動帶來的自身改善。

我在2010年尾和2011年頭做了幾次地獄式闢穀， 曾經一度把三高壓下去。2021年底的肌肉流失也令到三高低下去。這兩種都是傷害身體， 不正常的。

I do blood test for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar every year. This time, I am most satisfied with the results because the improvement is attribute to  exercising, not fasting (around 2011) nor bodily abnormality (around 2021).

厚顏無恥

呢條躝癱攪屎棍真係不知所謂。 出手打人嘅係你， 撩交打又係你， 出口術又係你， 無識別徵關稅又係你， 搞亂世界秩序又係你。 而家搞唔掂， 落唔到台就怨人哋唔幫拖。 你唔係話你自己大乜曬咩， 使乜搵人幫你呀？你想拖人落水啫。 眾伴親離， 邊個會受氹呀， 豬都唔會。

How deep is your love

Like this gorgeous kitten or not? His new master was so eager to have him that she paid the seller right away for him. Seems she is really his own mum.

港人福澤

首次向國內網上電商平台購免運費小農産品, 想不到質量比本地的好很多, 價錢更便宜. 省得我往菜市場左挑右挑.

就是太美顔

這不是一幅AI生成的人面圖. 而是一齣短劇裏面的男主, 驟看之下以為是動畫人面。他的面容俊俏, 完美無缺。 不錯是真人, 但也可能是AI 生成的美顔版。

有興趣的可看這短劇, 沒什內容, 但男女主角都非常漂亮。

男主的名稱張凌赫

不知道女主是誰，就是像楊冪和可凡的混合版. 我誤以為女主是可凡才click了入去.

購物的價值

Bought a second hand city bike for HK$950 from a bike rental company this afternoon. It is available at Taobao around ￥650. As said before, the real price of a product/service is not the nominal price displayed on the tag, it is what you actually pay to obtain it.

保險原則：

很多時購物不單是那個物件的價錢, 還包括送運、安裝、測試和保證. 運送途中可能會生意外而引致個人及物品的損傷. 這個是另一個價錢, 可能比貨品本身更巨。 安裝和測試也是另一個成本。 如果安裝和測試之後的物品覺得不適合, 如何解決, 花多少時間處理. 畢竟購物是找尋一件合適自己用的東西。實體購買的價值在此。

品牌價不分一二線

China's 10 Most Suitable "Hiding Places" for Lying Flat

中國最合適躺平的10個「隱居城市」

1. 廣東-惠州 Huizhou

2. 雲南-普洱 Pu'er

3. 四川-攀枝花 Panzhihua

4. 廣東-中山 Zhongshan

5. 廣西-防城港 Fangchenggang

6. 雲南-個舊 Gejiu

7. 廣西-桂林 Guilin

8. 山東-乳山 Rushan

9. 遼寧-阜新 Fuxin

10. 黑龍江-鶴崗 Hegang

The above are named the 10 best places for elderly retreat by the YouTuber. You don't need to take his claims seriously because his objective is to attract more viewers. Like most Youtubers, he is not liable for his bluffs.

Everybody knows that whether it’s Huizhou, Zhongshan, Guilin, or even fourth- and fifth-tier cities, if you want to live a modern lifestyle, enjoy your leisure time, or have tea in decent shopping arcades, you will end up paying roughly the same amount of money as you would in first-tier cities. You don't need to take my words blindly - just go and try it yourself at Starbucks, McDonald’s, KFC, or even Luckin Coffee (瑞幸), Gong Cha (贡茶), Nayuki’s Tea (奈雪的茶), etc. You verify it yourself.

It is true that you can save money on the following:

. room rent

. food and groceries at local wet markets (but not at large supermarkets)

. heating and lighting in coal-mining areas

Everything carries a price. In economics, the real price is what you actually pay to obtain a product or service, not just the nominal price displayed on the tag.

I am particularly interested in #3 Panzhihua (攀枝花) because I don’t like cold, high humidity, or constantly changing weather.

Thai Psychic/Fortune Teller Mor Plai's Predictions

Thai Psychic/Fortune Teller Mor Plai's (มอร์ เพล 普萊) 2026 Predictions

Mor Plai has named “J, P, T, I” as the four high-risk countries/areas. Most people speculate that “JPTI” may correspond to Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan/Thailand, and Israel/Iran.

I am no fortune teller, but if you ask me what the “T” could stand for in terms of natural disasters, my answer might shock you. My guesses for “T” are:

1. New Zealand, which was once known as the “Tasman Empire” (tsunami & earthquake)
2. Tibet (deadly earthquake)

I hope Mor Plai's predictions do not come true.

You can beat Newton

In response to the recent AI madness, I cite the following:

Isaac Newton once lamented: “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.”

If one can capture the irregularity of people’s reactions to the stock market (i.e., evolve with its changing patterns), then one can stay afloat in this eternal sea.

My advice: Equip oneself not just with science and finance, but also with behavioral science/finance.

Hong Kong Disneyland Park

Went to Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time last week. It wasn’t a peak day, so the adult ticket was Tier 4 (the cheapest) at HK$600. I paid HK$100 for the elderly concession.

Disneyland is very popular, with many individuals and families visiting every day. However, I noticed a lot of people looking worn out and tired, especially those taking care of young kids and carrying bags.

Disney may be fun and enjoyable. As the fun park is costly, no fun at all for those on a tight budget.
