慘不忍賭

本來無諗住睇巴西對德國，基本上之後所有的賽事既時間都唔係好啱，應該都唔會睇。

但尋日喺公司無乜嘢做，臨放工前諗住睇一陣都好啦，點知一開個視頻就見到德國入球，喂，好似啱啱開波咋喎！

跟住我都無乜為意，一邊做其他嘢一邊睇，點知唔夠一陣，德國又入波！唔係吓ＦＡ？！正當我仍然ＷＴＦ之際，又見到德國入波，快到我以為係重播番之前嗰球。

呆咗。我諗全世界睇緊既人都呆咗。

跟住唔夠十分鐘，又俾人入多兩粒，我完全唔敢相信自己既眼睛。

我聽人家同睇新聞講，知道巴西兩個主將一個傷出一個停賽，我都唔睇好佢哋會嬴，但都估唔到會但國家隊唔係淨係得佢兩個吓話？少兩個唔係差得咁離譜吓話，下下俾人鏟咗個波之後反搫，防守唔知做乜，亂七八糟咁。

最不滿既係俾 Klose 入到波，俾佢超越到肥仔朗，成為 all-time top scorer.

我覺得佢哋仲慘過西班牙俾人炒兩場。

驚死蝕底的為食鬼

小J 愛食差不多是人人都知的了。但佢家吓大大吓仲加埋驚死蝕底的個性。

案件一

話說有一日食飽飯，小Ｊ在廳玩，我在廚房收拾殘局。咁我口痕就喺廚房偷食一舊芒果乾。小Ｊ同我講嘢我咪應吓佢，點知我一路趙一路講嘢俾佢發現到，佢一聽出我個口內面有嘢，咋咋林放底 whatever 佢做緊既嘢，衝入嚟廚房問

"What are you eating?"
"無額，食乜呀？" (仲想狡辯-ing)
"What are you eating? 呀..." (示意要張開咀吧)
(無奈服從)
"What is that?"
"芒果乾"
"I want 芒果乾 too"

案件二

Chicken fingers dinner.

"你吉兩條好喇，食完先仲肚餓先再攞"
(聽話地吉咗兩條，a minute later, looked over at 詹占's plate)
"Why he has three?"
"因為佢大個，大個咪要食多Ｄ"
"I am big, too! I need to eat more."

好彩最後都說服到佢食咗自己嗰兩條先。

Appreciations

前兩個星期是公司大廈的 tenant appreciation day and this week is the company’s employee appreciation week.

先說說上年的 appreciation 吧.

2013

Tenant Appreciation
上年在大廈的 main floor 擺 continental 早餐，有 muffin 呀，cookies 呀，水果呀，果汁呀，croissants呀，coffee呀等等等等.

Employee Appreciation
上年有早餐，almost a full breakfast, 有蛋啦，french toast 啦，bacon 啦，薯仔啦，果汁咖啡啦。我差唔多到個早餐時段就黎完先去食，都仲有好多選擇。
There was also a pizza lunch last year, I think. Nothing too memorable but at least there was nothing to complain about.

2014

Tenant Appreciation
安排了幾個 vendor 喺度賣 discount 嘢，eg. crossfit gym membership, some sort of skin care products, jewelleries, some discount entrance to places like paintball, legoland, wild water kingdom etc., some health booth that show case their massage and other services.
It’s nice to have discount, but the thing is, why do they want me to spend more money on tenant appreciation day?!

Employee Appreciation

1. Got donut and coffee one morning. Definitely a downgrade from last year. I didn’t get there late or anything but when I got there, there’s no trace of coffee and there were only three little Tim boxes of donuts. I was actually expecting some muffin as well but it really was just donuts ONLY.  And the choices were pathetic.
2. There was also a pizza lunch. There’s a station set up on each floor. But the problem was that someone was serving out the pizza. They were those square pizzas cut into little squares. They gave us only two pieces each and no more.  There were only choices of either pepperoni or veggie. I didn’t bring lunch that day cos I thought there’s pizza lunch.  Me and my colleague were seriously thinking about having to go buy some food after those two little cheap ass squares.  Luckily, after a while, they announced that we could go for second because there was then some leftover. We went over for another two slices but they gave us one normal size _small_ piece and then one other piece that was half the size of the normal small piece. I could eat that tiny piece in two bites. I’m not kidding. It was so small. And half of that tiny piece was the crust!!! My colleague, who is a guy, said that he needed to eat 20 pieces that size in order to get full.
   And the way they set up the station in the hallway is that we went to get our pizza and then we went back to our cubicles to eat. There was no standing room, didn’t create any opportunity for socializing. It’s ok for me cos I don’t socialize anyway. But before we merged office, we used to have BBQ (hamburger, hotdogs, salads, chips, cookies etc.) and we sit at the picnic tables to enjoy the summer heat.
3. Ice cream day – got an ice cream sandwich. Not too bad. At least it was what was expected, which wasn’t much, given the disappointment in the last two events.
4. There was also lucky draw throughout the week but being me, having no luck in any sort of draw, won nothing. So it was as if it never happened.

Seriously not impressed this year. I don’t feel appreciated and I definitely don’t appreciate their appreciations. I mean, 咁 cheap 不如唔好做啦，要做就唔好 cheap 得咁緊要好唔好？你唔做我冇 expectations 就唔會唔高興啦。

唔駛做架?

The way I watch FIFA is to time my gym time at work to roughly the match I want to see. I can only see part of a match this way because I can’t take that much time working out during office hour but it’s better than nothing.

Guess I’m not the only one who does it. The gym is usually empty at those hours in the afternoon (I don’t go at regular time. Just whenever work is slow so I can sneak away) but when there’s a game, ppl will show up.

The thing is, some of these ppl I have never seen in the gym before. And most of these ppl don’t even pretend that they are there for the workout. There are a few types of ppl who show up:

1. Ppl who come down in their dress pants and dress shoes, simply standing right in front of the TV to watch the game.
2. Ppl who pretend to be working out or stretching. Some hold on to a dumbbell or some other equipment but they really are just taking up the equipment and not really moving. Some of them really just treat the exercise bench as a chair for them to sit to watch TV.  最頂癮的是那些 chinese dudes, who just do the 轉腰 (like those 晨運客 in the park). They probably think that they are stretching, 但佢哋真係可以扭腰扭足四十五分鐘，好腰力！
3. Some uses the stationary bike or the elliptical.  Almost look like they are working out but the ‘workout’ intensity, I suspect, is no more than, say, walk to the washroom for a pee.
4. Most of the above are men. There are also a couple ignorance ladies who came but know nothing about soccer. I am not talking about the technicality of 越位 but one of them still thinks that Beckham is still in the UK national team… And they do not know how long is the game or anything. They really just came down to comment on the 靚仔 and to chat up the other ppl in the gym. Altho, to give them some credits, these ladies do actually do some exercise while watching and they work a little harder than Group 3 above.
5. Ppl who are regulars and simply switched their time of workout to game time.

人多都唔緊要，我至唔鐘意既就係呢Ｄ唔係做 gym 既人不停咁 comment，超煩囉。你以為自己係講波佬牙？？一係就係嗰Ｄ女既問埋Ｄ白痴嘢，然後個男既就好似 expert 咁解釋一番，煩到爆。

有Ｄ人又開到個電視鬼死咁大聲，痴架咩！聾gar？！

I kinda understand the regulars cos they have budgeted the time for workouts anyway. But what about those that I don’t know even know if they have the gym membership? 佢哋真係喺度睇足半埸架喎，唔駛 do 架？

偷閒日

星期一請了半日假落 midtown 同詹占食 lunch 兼睇 Neth vs Chile.

很有情趣吧！哈哈...

基本是不是太精彩，只係找個藉口放吓自己假。

亦都無睇足全場，因為我放假啫，但要放詹占番去挨騾仔。

但都睇到１球入球，ＯＫ啦。

我蠻like Neth 的，主因係佢哋好橙好耀眼既球衣，哈，其次是我個人覺得佢哋通常都頗主動的，通常 resulting in a pretty exciting game to watch.

Spain 都終於入了球，但好明顯成間餐廳無人睇那同時間進行的比賽，因為入了球到重播的時候也沒喝采聲，反觀 Neth/Chile almost 入球都會有驚呼或喝采聲，我亦都係無意間眼尾看到那間電視才知道他們入球了。

覺得他們好可憐，人情冷暖呀，話知你係上界有多利害，今次出局了，就沒人理了。

但都為佢哋高興，起碼有入球，不用成為第一支上界冠軍但今界一球也沒有而蹄造歷史。

很喜歡偷閒的生活。 可能是因為是偷來的吧...

彊屍先生？！

真奇怪的辟好。

堂堂一個大男人，幾十個鏡頭影住，唔係會以為人哋睇唔到吧...

聽閒好像不是第一次的事...

爆粗，打人出氣，甚至是施丹當年的頭頂心口，我都尚可以明白，但究竟係乜嘢原因會令一個成年人咬人呢？

諗唔通...

Edit:

詹占 sent me this after I shared the above with him. Some of the older clips of this guy. The writer of the article is pretty funny, too, I found.

FIFA 2014

Finally watched my first match on Monday.  It’s good that I’m in NA, not HK that I don’t have to stay up at night to watch the matches but then the matches happens during working hours so I need to to somehow sneak off in order to watch.

I was bad. I turned on the live stream at the corner of one of my monitor to watch Germany vs Portugal.  To my disappointment Portugal lost 4:0. 有冇搞錯! But it' was kinda nice that I did manage to see two of the goals. Nothing spectacular tho.

Also watched most of Brazil vs Mex on Tuesday in the gym at the basement of the office (more to say about some other time). Brazil 搞乜? I used to be a Brazil fan, 曾幾何時. But they disappointed me again and again and I have kinda given up on them… I still would like to see them do well tho. 加油呀.

Didn’t watch any yesterday. Was planning to but then work got super ultra busy so I can’t get away.

Planning to see England vs Uruguay this afternoon. I’ll see if I have time. It could be the end of England if they don’t deliver. Well… I guess same to Uruguay.

None of the game I’ve watch was particularly exciting so far tho.

Speaking of unspectacular game, this is truly spectacular:
