A spaceman came travelling …

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
‘Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a city he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star…

He followed a light and came down to a bank,
Where an old man and housewife were yelling to a staff,
A bright light of silver shone round their heads,
And they had the faces of a victim, and they were afraid…

Then the stranger spoke, he said “Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,”
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air…

“Sell, sell, sell … stop dreaming … back to work, back to what you’re best at …”

Air on the G string

No, it is not about the MacBook Air, and not about G string of course … I stare at the TV and just cannot stand anymore the noise and the scenes of the big event today. I mute the TV volume and this music come to mind – believe it or not, it matches the TV show perrrrrfectly.

Isn’t it brilliant ?

And then of course, the whiter shade of pale. Just can’t help it 8)

Telephone line

One of the mobile operators in town recently introduced a new service – “Wireless fixed-line service”. What that marketing gimic exactly do is beyond me, but it gonnna be a mix of wireless and internet based telephone services. I am sure one day this kind of service will replace our usual fixed-line phone and by then, the term “telephone line” will go down the drain of history. Before then, a song from Electric Light Orchestra, 32 years ago.

Hello. How are you?
Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That’s what I’d say. I’d tell you everything
If you’d pick up that telephone yeah yeah yeah
