  • Not just any Hill…

    Braemar Hill…

    Ahh the joy of driving and sight seeing.  Braemar Hill is the best place for it.  If you drive a Honda Accord, 3.0 with a V6 Vtech engine, there is nothing better for it than Braemar Hill.  It will blow your mind, and take you to places that you could never imagine.

    It has curves so smooth, and sharp that it will test you and your car. Bu will enjoy every moment it spends on this Hill, and every subsequent road you go down.

    The twits and turns may worry you, but your car hugs the road, as you navigate around.  It never gets too dangerous and at night it is deserted. You will take pure pleasure in the sudden strating sections of the road.

    At certain points, you will see the Hong Kong, and realise how beautiful she is.  And at anytime of the day, you will all see what everyone who lives here knows already.

    Then open your window and breath in the beautiful air, that it provides.  One of the last places in Hong Kong, where you will find such sweet air.  And you will know that you are somewhere special.  The smells will arouse your senses, and you will not be able to concentrate on anything else other that that fragrance.

    Because that is what you are there for.  It will float and continue to linger in your mind for a while.

    No fakes, no speeders, no people to bother you.  It’s just you and Braemar Hill…

    I just love it.

  • Four days of Holiday… finally Employed….

    It was perfect.  Amazing.  Holidays should always be this good.  Nevermind that it got hot, or that, times it was raining.  Nevermind that we were tired for most of the time we were there.  Nevermind that you dragged me shopping.  Nevermind my knee and ankle started to hurt.  Nevermind that I lost my good sunglassess.  All I know that, the holiday was pefect.

    It was excatly what I needed and the perfect time for me to have it.  And having you there, was the only way for me to enjoy my holiday…

  • Full Day

    Holy crap, we did a lot today.

    We spent the whole day at Sentosa, and it was amazing.  I do not normailly take to enjoying my time on that island but this time has been great with her, it makes it extra special.

    We ate, walked around, look at things, took pictures, went to an aquarium, and finally hit the beach for 3 hours.  It was really great.  After wards, she had a glass of wine, and I had a Corona, and we say by the beach and watched the Sun Set.

    A pefrect afternoon, ended with an even better ending.

    Sigh… I don’t want to go back to school.

  • Like Before

    This is about right.

    I have not been here for a few years now and it has not changed.  It is still hot as hell and the food here is still fucking good.  Cheap as hell, but good.  And everything else is way overpriced.

    But I have been having a lot of fun here.  We have been doing a lot of shopping today and am going to head over to the pool later on in the afternoon for a cool off period of 1hr. or more. 

    The sun is out and the place is looking good.  I am having a pretty good time and so is she.  We ate with my Uncle George yesterday and my Dad.  He was overlapping us by a day so we had a meal with him.  But he left this morning.

    We are going to go to Night Safari tonight.  It is one of my favorite places in the world.  The world’s first (Emphasis on World’s First (ALWAYS) (In Singapore)) night time zoo.  It is pretty cool. And they also have a damn good food court there.  Which actually is pretty random if you ask me.  Cause it’s like huh?  OK.

    Have a safe Flight
    What
    Have a safe Flight
    What
    Have a safe Flight
    OK!

    Gotta watch Chappelle’s Show for that one.

  • I’ve Leaving, On a jet plane…

    Hey guys,
    I am leaving for Singapore.  Albeit for 4days. 
    3nights.  But still I get to go on Holiday and it is nice.  I
    did a presentation, and it was high stressed, cause I was talking
    abouta  subject that would give me high stress.  Hong Kong.

    But I think I did ok.  I realized that after that, I was done,
    that I missed a lot fo details, but I think I did enough.  But
    sigh.  I hope I did ok.  I’m paranoid.  This
    presentation, was a high stress event for me just cause it was not
    really up my alley.

    But I am done.  So how do you reward yourself with a job… semi-well-done?  Singapore.

    Yeah that’s it.  Singapore.  So I will try to update while I
    am there, cause there is Wi-Fi everywhere.  I can’t wait till I
    get food and Chicken Rice… In Singapore there is food, and then
    there’s Chicken Rice.  The greatest and the most fatten thing ever.

    I’m off people I will tell you more later.

  • Cellulose

    I’m fat.  No really I’m serious.  I’m fat.  I am filled
    with the dread each day I look down at my belly and realise that I have
    a very quickly fading pac.  From six to four and now two.  A
    quite quickly fading two pack.

    I went swimming on Monday, and tonight I really have to go
    running.  If I am to go to Singpaore with you on Friday and we
    decide to go to a beach.  I need to look semi-decent.

    And semi-decent I mean, not fat.  Some of you may say, man you’re
    not fat.  My reply would be, you don’t see me at home and hang my
    stomach over my belt.

    *sigh*

    Hopefully in the next two days, my regime will heal me from the fat, and I shall with the battle of the bulge.

  • Last Day…

    My super good friend, and former staffer, Potter was intown over the
    weekend, so I apologise for the lack of updates.  It was pretty
    cool. and was nice to see him again.  I have not really gotten to
    see him since August.

    We got quite a lot doen.  Actually he got a few things done too,
    having looked for work, went to JMSC and sat in a class and saw the lot
    from Lingnan.  And hung out withe me for most of the time.

    It was nice.  he was the first houseguest we had at the Belchers,
    and came in and out pretty quickly.  Silent like the Red
    October.  He was quite the clean and ultimate houseguest. 
    Which will make it difficult for the future cause everyone after him
    will probably not live up to his standard.  Unless we get
    Detective MONK or, Monical Geller.

    Though he left as suddenly as he came, it was fun to see him
    around.  He will be coming back to Hong Kong in the summer, to
    hopefully find work, so we hope that everything works out for him
    then….

    Take care man.. I’ll see you then…

  • Weather Report.

    Today’s weather is going to be great.  Wait, today’s weather is
    not bad.  Oh wait today’s weather is going to be rather
    cold.  Ooops, Today’s weather is fuck I don’t know the damn
    weather is today…

    That pretty much sums up my week.

    Tune in tomorrow back for regular updates to my weird little life…

  • Weather Report.

    Today’s weather see the return of the Curse of the Former British
    Colony.  Skies will be dark and dreary.  Temperatures will
    generally be cold and dank, with occasional rain showers to dampen your
    mood.

    I gather that everyone will probably keep warm by wearing North Face
    ski Jackets, while I shall defy nature and go with the traditional
    winter wear of T-Shirt and Jeans.

  • Shenzhen

    Yesterday I went to Shenzhen, and had a fairly scary moment.  We
    went over around 2pm and everything was pretty good.  Aside from
    the fact that it was pretty damn cold and I didn’t have a jacket, made
    things a litle tough for me, but I digress and everyting was cool.

    We shopeed around, and spent about 2 hours picking fabric and we
    eventually found a tailor that would me me a Chinese Kung Fu suit, and
    Her a Qi Pao.  And I am sure she will look great in that. 
    Not great hot.  Irresistable.

    After the stress of being in that mall.  Claustrophic from no
    windows, we decided that we needed some massages… Well we wanted them
    before we got there, but now we really needed it.

    We had a 3hr massage: two hour body and hour of foot.  It was
    pretty good.  I mean nice.  comfortable. and just good. 
    But it took forever. So at the end of the massage it was 9:20 and we
    were way over out lets not eat after 8:30 limit.

    But what happened after dinner was scary.  And it happend
    twice.  But the first time was scarier, cause the second time I
    was not sure of.

    As I was walking toward the train station, girl in tow, I saw a guy
    walk toward us, who looked slightly dodgy.  Then I turned around
    and he was walking toward her.  He was about to reach for her bag,
    when she turned around too and he quickly walked away.

    That guy looked evil and he was genuinely scared that he was found
    out.  And I was really angry.  She was kinda scared, shocked
    more maybe but I was ready to beat him with something anything. 
    Fuck, I thought mainland China was beyond this already.  I guess
    not.
