When your head is clogged up and there’s nothing to do about it, we turn to our beloved television sets - or in this digital age, the equivalent of a laptop with wireless broadband. It’s addictive, but if you’re careful enough you can get out of channel flipping mode and gain a variety of fruitful knowledge. Or you can lose it and fall into the abyss of vacuous pop culture. Fuck it. Let’s watch TV.

This new restaurant is worth checking out. The cocktails are nice, food is cheap, portions a bit small. Located just off carnaby steet in Soho, London.

Coming back from Wales after the past two years, I thought I have seen the worst rainstorm - actually not. Now, since I arrived like two weeks ago, it has been raining, and raining, and raining. Not even a day of sunshine, not even a glimpse of the blue sky. Yes, this is not as unpredictable as Welsh weather, yet the fact that it is going to rain for at least five days more (thanks to sub-tropical weather and weather forecast!) is even more depressing…

In Hong Kong, rain does not usually come with strong rain - it is often in a form of literally pouring, forming quite an amusing scene in the city: people all opening their umbrellas, all squeezed in the pavement, all soaked, all muttering how bad the rain is. But then we move on, and when we arrive home, we sit down, have dinner, listening to the sound of the rain - 

So calming and harmonious, almost like an echo of some celestial music.

• a new 2008 schedule with Elmer the Patchwork Elephant : )
• 4 dishes of dim-sums! chueng fun, steaming-hot buns… whatever you like.
• transmute from anywhere in Hong Kong to the airport by bus
• 2 Big Mac meals from McDonald’s
• 16 packs of post-it (!)

…

it’s not easy being cheap though : / because we do suffer a lot from our low exchange rate - Hong Kong dollar is the only currency in the world that is still pegged to that of the American dollars…
