A fun- and food-filled evening

SoCO (Society for Community Organization) allocated a small portion of the funds raised (in total more than HK$50,000) by LTD's "Lai See" design charity project to provide a fun- and food-filled evening for low-income families and homeless individuals in the West Kowloon area. The event was held on February 7th at Shek Kip Mei Community Hall.

ON 'A City Driven by Design"

While the idea of a design year is commendable, the parties involved should take this opportunity to openly discuss issues which are critical to the development of the design profession in Hong Kong. Chief among these are the age-old problem of speculative or "free" pitches (which devalue design and destroy rather than create value); the tendency of companies and organizations to ignore designers' intellectual property rights.

The last day of ferry from Hung Hom

As a Hung Hom residents, I'm surely disappointed to see this slow-paced, old-fashioned and romantic habour crossing vehicle gone. I took ferry to work everyday until today and that 15 minutes on board had been one of the mood setting moment of the day, catching the breeze and the smell of the sea.

Also gone are some old-schooled stenciled type.

I thought they would have thrown a party to farewell this long-servicing pier; Instead, it just vanished quietly, with just a few more people taking pictures

Wishing you a happy and healthy year of the Rabbit

In keeping with today's spirit of recycling, and noting how quickly twelve years have flown by, we're pleased to re-send our previous Year of the Rabbit e-card (vintage 1999). The card was one in our series of annually anticipated Chinese New Year's cards featuring first Jinx (who lived to the ripe age of 18) and subsequently Katz, who is 12.  Kung hei!

Here is a recording of the broadcast that I would like to share with you.”
