過咗冇耐嘅清明, 相信大部份朋友都一盡孝義, 抽時間去先人墓地拜祭.. 眾多祭品當中, 房車, 衛星電視, 按摩椅等等其實都已經過時喇, 今年你估我見到啲乜嘢?? 就係蘋果最火紅產品, 新到連登陸本地市場都未有嘅iPad2同埋iPhone5呀!! 真係不得不佩服商家緊貼高科技嘅頭腦..

某日同友人傾開呢兩樣「驚為天人嘅新科技產品」, 結果佢出其不意地俾咗個冷笑話我: 係就係先進, 不過我諗我唔會燒俾佢哋囉, 我驚佢哋三更半夜打電話俾我呀~~ @_@"
it was the Qing Ming period two weeks before and after 5th April each year where the Chinese (generally Taoist) visit the cemetry to pay respect to their deceased relatives.. one of the traditional ritual is to burn offerings in the form of paper, so that the deceased can "received" them in the afterworld.. amongst the offerings, limousine, satelite TV, massage chair are already very common.. what i found really impressive is how quickly the industry is coping with technology - mimics of iPad2 and iPhone5 even though they are still not in our market yet, fuyoh!!

was chatting with a friend on these two "impressive innovative products" and he caught me by unexpectation with a good joke: no doubt very high tech, but i don't think i'll burn them, because i'm worried if they got it and call me in the middle of the night~~ @_@"

  9. Haha, very high end right? Whatever we can find here, sure there's something for 'them' also. Gadgets, branded bags, sport cars (with driver somemore) and the list goes on...

  10. Your last part of the post is true. A manual or a trainer need to go along to teach them how to use the new gadgets. The latter (trainer)...Oops!

    So, are you almost glued to the tv? haha.. CNN is covering it from 2pm until 6pm but the ceremony is only some 4/5 hours away. Enjoy..

    @ venus:
    其實有可能他們比我們先進和發達哦.. 我們燒那麼多高科技東西, 可能在他們的世界已經是過時的東西了, 還有可能他們已經有著這種特異功能, 不需要任何的gadgets~~ :p

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  61. haha... it's funny :-) anyway, those items for them are very updated & high-tech coz they are tech-savvy too!

    ReplyDelete
  62. 看见那么多新科技的东西,我有时会怀疑:
    他们那儿有网络公司吗?
    有‘人’经营电讯台和IT 的操作吗?
    有汽油站、发电站吗?…… #_#'

    ReplyDelete
  63. @ Casendra:
    哈哈, 是很搞笑啦, 不過如果打電話上來說等一下上門找他也不好嘛, 呵呵~~ :p

    @ edward:
    你又知各位前輩佢哋唔識用?? 分分鐘佢哋仲過先進過你添架, 哈哈!! 話唔定iPhone5喺佢哋個世界都已經過時架喇~~ :D

    ReplyDelete
  64. @ Monk:
    yeah, besides user manual, burn also the training class voucher, so that they won't call you to ask how to use~~ :p

    ReplyDelete
  65. @ 海市蜃樓:
    你千其唔好睇小佢哋呀, 分分鐘仲要先進過你添喎, 呵呵~~ :p

    @ Ashley:
    其實這也是一個很好的問題, 我們把全部其硬件都燒下去, 其實有沒有應該要的軟件和設施呢?? 呵呵.. 有讀者告訴我說, 有人把整個油站也燒下去了, 因為汽油起價, 呵呵!! :D
