Jamie Oliver is coming to town!

Glad to know that Jamie is having its Asian restaurant in HK. HK should take this as an excellent opportunity to show why HK can be an international hub and Jamie could surely serve as a role model for teenagers in HK.

While reading this issue's next magazine, I found 2 articles having views that 9 year free education has moulded our teenagers the way they are now. Teenagers do not have high expectation of themselves. I would say 'Fu look' is the cantonese word that best describes such attitude.
On the other hand, what kind of adults we see in HK? being self centered (own interests always come first), finding excuses like freedom & privacy to avoid taking up responsibities. Where can young people find role models?
Like the recent drug abuse issue, are we determined to have a long term plan to help people who are having drug abuse problems? Are we afriad to carry out what we plan to do? What are we afraid of? Which makes such fear so real? How would the students who have drug abuse problems view us-the adult who think that they can help?
'Ching San' is a school we praise so high earlier in the media. Media makes it as a hero in the first place and makes it as a demon when 'the spectators' get tired with hero. That is so 'batman' and so 'Hero'.
I would like to point out that media could not disguise themselves as the truth holder. Media - mediums of information. They can be the watchdog but never the truth holder. Remember history, remember how lies became facts, remember 1984...

Think before you believe, Love before distrust.

After watching Jamie Oliver's TV programmes in the past few years including JO@Australia & @London, I really like this guy - a professional with passion. Many professionals show nothing but greed and selfishness. This guy is really something.

He was much more 'radical' when he was younger. His more recent shows make him look a bit too domesticated....
