90年代回憶(廣告歌篇)

"何時才發現 就算天涯海角 都可能覆蓋"

"I love you too, I want you too ~~~ah ha"

"如風裏密碼碼將心聲接通 兩地輸送"

"聲音永沒困阻¯即使分隔數千里情還在"

熟悉, 經典, 既隱匿又赤裸地把產品的好處唱出來。沒記錯的話, 一切都由這個廣告開始。那時候是1993年夏天 (我知道80年代已經有歌手以他們的流行歌作為廣告歌,但真正帶起成個熱潮的,是90年代開始)


差不多一年後....我還記得那時第一次看這個廣告是94年初香港的電視黃金時段。當時我覺得很震撼,因為我不知道那是廣告


後來金句天王在95年初還有多一個廣告,他造型有點像生死時速裡的奇洛理維C的型像。

之後一年,大約在95-96年初左右, 明星代言廣告歌好像沉寂了一會,但姣婆守唔到寡(我在說廣告歌熱潮), 在96夏天時, 又大放異彩。可惜那時候我剛要移民, 我只記得最後我在香港的電視裡看到的是這兩個廣告, 當然,其中一個又是黎老板的

另外一個是湯寶如為幸福傷風素的廣告歌,名叫"感冒"



97年初, 小弟回港探親並去取成人身份證(我還記得和友人一起拿著臨時身份證去看蜜桃成熟時2喔, haha😋)。那時候剛好看到張智霖為U2賣廣告。還記得當時旺角有棟大廈的整個外牆貼了一大張張智霖為U2拍的超大型硬照呀。



我並沒有打算把每一首廣告歌都在這裡分享點評,反正youtube有好多人已經把那些歌都組合成一個個playlists了,有興趣的可以去youtube看看。

之後一路小弟都有斷斷續續留意香港的樂壇, 時不時都發覺有不少廣告商和藝人/唱片公司合作出廣告歌, 好似鄭伊健的“發現”和“情牽今生”, 還有陳慧琳的"失憶周末", "戀愛情色", "真感覺", "戀爱神經", "花花宇宙"等等, 等等

後來, 因為要溶入加拿大主流社會, 所以走去學人聽Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spear, Soul Decisions etc, 所以沒那麼留意香港那邊了。只知道千禧之後,就没那麼多這類型的廣告歌了, 十分可惜。

Cure Overweight by Cancer?

As people know, overweight can cause a lot of health problems, not to mention about the damage to the self-esteem of those fat dudes like me. 

And I think most of the people who have over-weight problem do think this way...




Well, at the beginning, we may have tried to be on diet, but then... 



and then 

and finally when anyone ask... 

Few weeks ago, I heard that the scientists have found a break through about curing cancer. I forgot about the details, I just remember that the new approach is making our own immune system to be able to detect and kill cancer cells instead of the traditional ways (source: http://www.cancer.gov/research/areas/treatment/immunotherapy-using-immune-system).


We may have to wait for a few years to see this approach to be used in real life but this news gives me an idea about using the cancer cells to help curing the overweight problem.

Steps will be as follow:

  1. Doctors induce cancer to the overweight patients
  2. While monitoring the growth of the cancer cells closely, the doctor can use the cancer cells to absorb the nutrition from the patients
  3. After a range of time and when the goal has reached, e.g. the patient has lost 20kg due to the lost of the nutrition (absorbed by the cancer cells), the doctor will now use the new way about curing cancer to kill all the cancer cells


This approach have two big assumptions:

  1. Doctors can use some kinds of drugs to quickly cause cancer to patients
  2. Doctors can effectively and permanently cure cancer

I know this sounds crazy and lots of technical challenges, but I believe most of the scientific inventions in our history sounded crazy at the beginning when someone proposed them.

Oh well, at this moment my mind is full of foods so I can't write more about scientific facts, but imagine, if this idea can be used in real life....



ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!



熱戀激素

錢我大把!我依家要初戀!…初戀呀!


喜劇之王嘅一個scene。個人解讀,我成日覺得呢度其實係星爺搵個人去演自己, 其實佢好掛住佢嘅初戀。

但係我並唔關係想講初戀,我係想講闊啲, 戀愛。

有無聽過人喺熱戀當中,腦裡面會分泌一啲激素, 令到我哋激情澎湃, 亢奮...
可惜呢種激素係會隨著年月減退, 一個月,半年,一年,三,五,十年
縱然大家兩口子感情好好,但嗰啲係感情,而非熱情澎湃嘅激/愛情...

大家有無想過,如果有一種藥,能夠令你重拾熱戀時候嘅情懷,仲要係一種比較天然嘅藥,刺激你大腦,令佢自己產量嗰種激素,而唔係夾硬打嗰種激素入你嘅身體, 可以減少對身體不良影響。

咁樣,我覺得可以解決好多老夫老妻嘅問題。唔好話半個世紀,對多幾百年都仲得呀(如果有咁長命嘅話)。

利伸: 我同我老婆好恩愛, 日日都激素爆燈 hahahaha

記憶體驗器 - Experience Your Own Memory

偽文豪式電影開場白: "人對自己出生以來每一秒嘅記憶都存在腦中, 只是腦袋以為自己忘記了"

通常,我地要回憶自己過去嘅方式都係一個人喺度發"牛逗", 然後就一個人喺自己嘅腦海裡面尋找一些零碎嘅片段黎回憶,之後就喺度傻笑, 跟住,就係苦笑,最後就係一聲嘆息。

有無聽過 Oculus Rift?

有無想過,如果有部裝置,令我地可以自由搜尋自己腦袋中嘅回憶? 再透過Oculus Rift + Railed First Person Shooting Games (e.g. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) 嘅 idea 去重新體驗自己完整嘅每一段回憶, 咁應該會係一段好有趣嘅經驗

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles game play (youtube)



視覺,只不過係我哋記憶嘅一部份。我相信大家都試過突然聽到一首歌(or 一段音樂),街邊聞到一陣氣味,食番某一種食物,就會刺激起我地突然記番起一啲連我地都唔知道我哋仲記得嘅一啲回憶?


我試過,感覺好神奇....

如果我所講嘅嗰部裝置, 可以同時read,重組, 然後present番去我哋嘅腦袋, 刺激番我哋嘅視, 聽,臭, 同味覺嘅回憶, 直情將我地置身於回憶當中, 隨時想重新經歷邊段那些年,就邊段那些年起年....
咦? 我好似講緊Matrix套戲......


Fail Safe for Plane Crash

Plane crashes have happened more often since 2014. That made me remember one of my inventions in my mind about how to reduce casualties during the plane crashes. 

Explanation:
The top parachutes are for slowing down the plane from free-falling.
The air cushion is for absorbing the impact to the plane when it is hitting the ground. 
If the plane crash on water, it can help the plan to float.

Yes, I know I know, the maintenance cost will rise if we put all those equipment on the planes, 
but hey, I strongly believe that when the first person who suggested to have airbags installed in the 
vehicles, some other people must had objected that idea because of the maintenance cost 
will jack up blah blah blah....
