PINKCAT recorded Jonathan Wong rehearsaling in studio...王梓軒錄音室唱歌中 ...

One day last month PINKCAT accidentally came across this young man ‘s new song 《I.D.》on radio (while eating fish?) and was so impressed. I liked the melody and arrangement very much. I “google him” immediately and contacted his management, said I have to include voice and sound of this new talent in my pink virtual city, so have to do an interview with him … now you could sEE/hEAR (detailed interview) him talking about his new album in pinkwork city …

my human friend May Lam 林慧美 's Sake Tasting & get Drunk！？

just kidding ... May is a notable Japanese lifestyle writer in hk and also a qualified "Sake Sommelier", of course won't so easily get drunk. (really ?)

After having lunch with her and two very friendly marketing ladies from YATA 一田 this afternoon, we walked by their supermarket where there was a booth selling Sakes (japanese rice wine), a young boy asked us to taste some sake ... then .... one cup after another ... May was not just tasting, see, in the end she bought > $1,200 amount of Sake...

中午和林慧美及「一田」兩位十分好人﹝因為是她們請﹞的女士吃午飯，之後路經超市，那裡有一個賣日本各地清酒的檔口，加上那個口才十分了得的男仔，不停向我們推銷 ... 結果一小杯接一小杯的，May試了很多種酒，醉了？！　當然不會，這位粉紅貓的人類朋友，除了是一個旅行作家，也是一位合格的清酒「侍酒師」﹝剛考到牌 ﹞，應該不會那麼易醉掛。最後Ｍａｙ還一口氣買了超過$1,200清酒 ... 她說自飲之外，還會拿來送給人　。。。　但不是貓啊　！

video of MACAO CREATIVE PAVILION 澳門創意館 & various Creative People …

Wai Yin, producer of the recently YouTube big hit “cult” song 《小明上廣州》asked me to join a trip to visit the MACAO Creative Pavilion. Yes, this man also run a PR agency which represents the “Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao” .

It was a typical press trip. Though I’ve never seen myself as a press, I shot a funny video of this place and some creative people there … well, otherwise I would got nothing to do …. This place hosted exhibition and products of several Macau ‘s local artists (fashion designers, illustrators, etc.) and you’ll see some of them in my video …

a "veteran" newcomer pop singer in 2011 !

WHY call him "veteran" ? cause Alan Leung 焯皓 was the student of Tai See Chung (or Dai Si Cong) who is a very famous singing teacher in hk and dubbed the God Father of hk music scene ...

Alan is now working as the singing teacher in Tai 's singing school. With the help of Teacher Tai, he got the chance to record an album 10 years ago but the responsible person in the record label resigned suddenly, so Alan just missed this chance ... Until this year, encouraged by his Teacher 's daughter Wancy Tai Xin-Wai, he will probably release his debut album in May ... want to hEAR/sEE him talking more about his long-lost dream and his duet song with Wancy, could go to ...

Chinese New Year Cleaning Day 大掃除日...意外發現 !

Today is the "cleaning day" according to Chinese New Year tradition (sweeping away bad luck). PINKCAT just spent a whole day cleaning up its virtual HOME, and accidentally found some Long Lost hard-copy PinkWork(issue 1 & 2). These publications (creation games) were done few years ago.

The First Issue was about "hk actress/singer Niki Chow being photographed by a 4-yr old Kids". Issue 2 was a montage made up of photos and sound of 44 HK indie musicians which is much more meaningful after a few years I think. Why? Looking at those names and their photos, many of them have been forgotten or they don't do music any more ... but their voices and photos still exists in my pinkwork city ... for hundred or thousand more years ... =^o^= ... That was my concept, well, as what I could remember.

Happy year of the Rabbit to all citizens ... !

今日大掃除日，粉紅貓花了一整天清理雜物，竟然意外發現了幾份「唔見了幾年」的PinkWork創作遊戲印刷版第一、二期。這是多年前我 製作的一些創作遊戲出版物。第一期主題是「周麗淇和一個4歲女孩的攝影創作」。第二期是44個香港獨立音樂人的相片+聲音併貼，幾年後再看更覺有趣，因為 那些音樂人的名字很多已被人遺忘，或已不再「玩」音樂 ... 不過他們的相片及聲音卻一直存在於我的粉紅城市。嘻 ... 這應該是我當時的意念 ... 若然沒有記錯的話 ...祝各pinkwork市民快快樂樂 ...

Issue 1 (p1 ~4, click the names or photos could hear more hidden sounds 按相片還可聽到更多隱藏聲音)

a "searchable" PINK google Map ... of art and music !

do ... dooo ... do ... A new Work by "pinkwork airship" which allow people to search many cultural hotspots in a real map and see photo and video. I thought of using the google map "V3" codes but after consulting many of my friends I gave up. Firstly the version 3 codes is too "new" and not "stable" , secondly many of them said their internet speed is not fast enough that they could use the very "POWERFUL" street view function smoothly ... anyway, Hope my citizens would like this little TOOL ... !

pinkwork「粉紅小飛船」的新作，一幅有搜尋功能的粉紅色GOOGLE地圖。本來想用「第三版」的google地圖編碼的，但問過一些朋友，他們的上網速度未 夠快，可流暢地﹝唔會窒下窒下﹞用我十分喜愛的「街景」功能，而且新的編碼似乎太新 ... 決定暫時用V2碼 ... 等多幾個月才轉用新的 。講回這幅地圖，不止用來搜尋「文化熱點」，輸入「cafe」、「book shop」 ... 等等，也可找到答案 ...
