Tuesday night I went down to the AnD office to meet up with the rest of the guys, SBD invited us all out to dinner. We taxied it over to TST, to the Spring Deer Restaurant:
Which was packed. It was a really old school restaurant too, looks like it hadn't been renovated in any way since the late 60s.
I went to see the late showing of 'Single Blog' at the MOS theater. This morning i noticed that its on its way out tomorrow (cause of Ocean's 13), so tonight would probably be my last chance to see it:
its clear that its one of those lower budget HK romantic comedy / relationship type movies that seem to be popular these days (the only thing coming out besides big name production...Read more
The problem/joy of youtube is that things can be immortilized on the internet for all to see for ever and ever whenever they want, as often as they want...
case in point, the guy who got the first question wrong on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire:
there are other ones who made stupid mistakes on easy questions, but not many who blew the very first question (wait, here's another one).
You'll recall last week I rode my bike from Sheung Shui KCR East Station across the breadth of the New Territories to Kam Sheung Rd KCR West Station, in my most recent bicycling adventure.
On Saturday I went back to get my bicycle. As I mentioned in that last blog, I wanted to try this route back along Fan Kam Rd. Wisely I decided to ride a bus alon...Read more
Saturday night the fellows and I headed down to LKF to see the june edition of 'HK Live!' at the Fringe Club ( click for flyer) . Here are my pics and some video from the show:
We arrived during the first band's set, 'J.O.Y.':
On Friday, my research group at the university and I all took an afternoon off and headed to nearby Saikung for a boat trip (as some sort of end of semester party...)
As I'm planning another trip next weekend, I thought it'd be good for everyone who's going (most of whom have AnD profiles) to see what's in store. Unfortunately my camera started crapping out on me (something wrong w/ the brightness sensor or something), so i was having problems taking decent pictures. I was able to get some nice ones despite ...Read more
Thursday night a few of us went to the Hong Kong Dog Rescue Charity Fundraiser event that Rosemary V helped organize. It was in a sushi restaurant in Times Square. I took a bunch of pictures of the event's highlight - a super-model studed fashion show (right down the middle of the restaurant!)
Take a look:
Welcome! This was the sign board all the celebs posed in front of for the press on ...Read more
while poking around the web i came across this bizarre story from Asian Bite:
Chinese Woman Wins Fame as Chairman Mao Clone!
(for the sake of your eyes, I won't link to the picture directly!)
Last Saturday I rode my bike from campus to Sheung Shui up near the China border. I had been planning on doing another ride on sunday, but we had record storms that day (flooding, lightning, you name it).
I was busy Monday and Tuesday, so my bike has been sitting up in Sheung Shui since Saturday. I locked it up good and had the cover on, AND parked under a footbridge, so it was fine.
The question was, where to ride today? Back home or onwards and upwards...Read more
