  • To Party in Hong Kong

    I’m such a spoilt brat.  I get annoyed having to line up at the clubs in HK.  That’s because in SH, I don’t have to line up, don’t have to pay cover, and don’t have to deal with any BS.  But in HK, it just ain’t the same.  So annoying.

    Everything is on sale here in HK.  I’m also fortunate enough to have several brands under my belt where I can call and ask for staff discounts since we’ve dealt with them on the mainland in one way or another.  So I ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes, 5 pairs of pants, a winter jacket, a scarf and 2 dress shirts.  With as much as 50% off, how can you go wrong?   

    But in HK, everything makes sense.  Everything is efficient.  Everything works out.  There’s still a ton of people though, and that’s most annoying.  Even though Shanghai is about 3 times the population, it’s more spread out and less people go out.  I don’t know when I’ll be back online again, but I miss being able to write on Xanga.  I wish I could access it freely on the mainland, but Big Brother won’t have any of it.

    Until next time…

  • Happy Happy New Year

    Happy new year everyone! 

    I’m back in Hong Kong, this time for a friend’s wedding.  Amy, you looked stunning, I am so glad I could be there to share one of the happiest moments of your life.

    So many people have gotten married in the past 4 months:

    - Oct – Tito and Carol
    - Nov – Adam and Fredy
    - Dec – Alton and Chloe, Cheuk and Madeline
    - Jan – Ben and Amy

    I don’t feel the pressure yet, but my mom drops hints now and then.  It seems so far away, yet I can’t help but imagine that the next one might be the one that takes me down.  Hahah…

    I’m looking forward to a rocking time in 2008.  Wealth, health and happiness to everyone.
