夢: 節瓜船和天主教

一架節瓜船浮在養魚池/金魚缸中，看來茶樓拍賣捉獲而來的節瓜，不過偶然會從由收音機廣播得知天主教教區一向提倡的聯合訂價，一併收購就是為了防止節瓜的價錢被操縱，令一般人都負擔不起節瓜，好一幅大義澟然的樣子。這艘節瓜船看來又像可以打開關閉的落花生糖，不同的就是花生糖中有的是花生，而這節瓜船自然是當中有節瓜了。這時一個看來頗為富有的顧客即場表明有趣去把整艘船的節瓜船的節瓜買下來，看來天主教教區真有先見之明。我因為想吃節瓜，但一向我是左派政治家自居，如果要搶他買的節瓜就要用我最反對的手段，這裏的節瓜數量真不少，要是我一個人把它們都吃完就好了。
這時收音機又播日本在第二次世界大戰時虐待中國戰俘的事，這事以日本的角度來看未必是事實，什麼發生過，什麼未發生也可以是觀點與角度的問題，其中它舉了一個東條XX為中國戰俘的例子來說明如何由不同的觀點與角度得出不同的結論。

Idea: No waiting for customer in Chinese restaurant

In Sunday of Hong Kong, Chinese restaurant are often crowded with customer waiting for their seat, since it is a cheap way to kill time. However, many of us aren't patient person and can't stand the wait in the seats outside the restaurant while they don't want to lose the seat. Is there a solution for this dilemma?

I thereby propose my conceptual innovation here:

It work as simple as a software program, every time when a customer arrive, his /her phone, name and number of seats s/he will occupied, the software would assigned a customer number and printed a hardcopy as evidence. As seats become available, the waitor operate this system would click a button to increase the customer number in the database, it would then alter the customer through SMS via VoIP software like Skype or Ekiga with a pre-recorded message, or through a recorded voice message to phone in the database. Since it take time for customer to arrive to the restaurant, the system could held the seat for half hour(or any amount of time set in the software). Thus now customer no longer need to wait in front of restaurant.

小主意:茶樓等位提示器

上茶樓吃一盅兩件是香港平民常見的娛樂,既便宜又可消耗時間,但是在周未或假日,茶樓往往大排長龍,想光顧的客人都要在茶樓門外苦侯不知幾多時間,我相信很少香港人會有閒情逸緻去「享受」等位的過程,就算是閒暇也想在茶樓內享受,而不是在門口等待。因此我提出的小主意/發明就是為了省顧客的時間而設。它會在客人可入座時利用短訊通知他/她,於是他/她便可以在附近閒逛或者休息,而不用呆坐直到可入座為止。
它的運作原理很簡單,一如平時,當客人要求位子時可向待應登記,他/她就會把客人的名字、手提電話及人數等輸入此裝置/系統(由人數去分大中小三種枱),並由系統自動生產一號碼,並印二張存底,一張給客人,一張留在茶樓。而每次當有新位子時,由待應按不同的製以增加大中小枱目前的輪侯號碼,系統/裝置每次均依存在資料庫的號碼順序尋找對應的客人名字及自動透過互聯網向客人的手機發一提示短訊,或者用skype之類軟件向此電話發一段早已預錄的訊息,提醒客人是時侯開始光顧。同時,茶樓/餐廳考慮到客人未必可即時抵達,便可保留此位子如半小時。如此一來,定可令食肆的顧客賓至如歸,客似雲來!
