Back home, no laptop
Still awaiting my new laptop. It’s been a disappointment not receiving it even though I spent a week in Hong Kong. I thought that after confirming the quotation, I would get in easily during the 7-8 days I spent there. I was wrong.

Macao
Last Saturday afternoon, after my friend closed his office around 5.30pm (Official closing time is noon :P), I accompanied him and his wife to Macao with the sole intention of seeing The Venetian, a newly opened casino dubbed largest casino in Asia (the world?).
We took the hovercraft - about 45minutes trip from the HK port [...]

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION
Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend [...]

London 2012
As some of you are probably aware, the Olympics will be held in London in 2012. Well, the Olympic Logo came out yesterday, and it was really crap. It looks like some kid’s street art. And rightfully claimed as a waste of money and poor taste by many people already.

Well, it turned out to be nowhere as interesting as the May 2005 clash. And to make it worse, Milan won. I know Milan fans will say they don’t care if Liverpool played better, [...]

Disney recently opened a Disneyland park theme in Hong Kong, and has one planned for China. So I was a bit surprised when I saw an article about Disneyland already in China.

Can finally have a longer rest
My uncle’s finally gone back home after staying over here for more than a week. Don’t get me wrong. I like having my uncle here, and him staying over at my place is not problem. I gladly gave him my bed and slept on the sofa bed (which is too soft and not very good [...]
