That’s so gay!

2nd night in a row in which I’ve had to drink — I really dislike it.. Today was the lethal mix of vodka+red wine, yesterday was just red wine. Why do people like drinking so much? It’s bad for your liver, high in calorie content, and tastes awful. Anyway, I’m trying hard not to misspell [...]

Long-lost relatives.

My cousin and uncle just dropped by, haven’t seen them both in awhile. Seeing family feels good, I’ve missed so many Chinese New Years’ dinners that I’ve forgotten that — or maybe I just went to too many before leaving for London, if you know what I mean. My uncle (dad’s brother who married my [...]

Here we go again

If you see a paramedic on the street, give him/her a hug for me.
Today was certainly a day of firsts.

Today I saw two sets of daughters & mothers. One was with her mom at the hospital, she curtly asked her mother to sit down at the Nurse’s station. Impatience and “I don’t want to be [...]

Indulgence of the day: Melon sugar-free chewing gum. (other choices: strawberry, xylitol)

True-say of the day: “Your eyes are gradually getting smaller each morning.”
Annoyance of the day: Walking 10 mins to pick up credit card only to find [...]

Head is about to explode. Pressure-cooker of a day. Brain is fried.

Give me a sign.

Clarins toothpaste.

I was this close <–> to squeezing cleanser onto my toothbrush just now.
Tired, one of those days when eyebags become really 3-D.
Looks like my time in HK has been capped at about 1 year. Spoke with the boss today. That’s something to think about. But at least I can start looking for a proper flat [...]

Twenty Two

 Happy birthday sis :) You are missed.
Thanks Hails, James, Isi, Tony for spending the day with me… and making it a special one.  We had yum cha (sorry for spoiling the original plan of karaoke) and afternoon tea. Then James brought us to have seafood on Lamma Island, a 45-minute boat ride from Central Pier. [...]

Zzzzz

Finally got internet at home, so here I am. Tonight’s the first night in the week I got off before 10pm, but I guess I’m semi-enjoying it now. Not to say that it’s not tiring and that I’m not sleep-deprived. I have 3 meals a day on my desk, and we’re usually one of the [...]

HK

Hello from HK. I haven’t got internet at home yet, so I’m typing this from a Pacific Coffee outlet. Intense is the word I’d use to describe work so far, and I’m not enjoying it yet, but fingers crossed that I will soon enough.
The place I’m staying in is really convenient, so that’s been a [...]
