Out of Town... HK 1 week

Yes, I am going out of town for work again in HK. Did not had a very good time with the food previously (and that was like back in 1995/6)... Wonder what will it be this time round...

Amazing isn't it? Everyone I know loves Hong Kong - if not for the shopping then it's the food. I seem to be the only one who did not enjoy the food there - what's there to enjoy if the abalone has the same "after taste" as the Maxim's egg tart or even an unknown wanton mee shop along Causeway Bay?!?! In fact, of all the meals I had, the only one that I had no such issue was actually a sushi place that is no different from the sushi chain we have in Singapore!

So, if the food there is still the same as before, then sounds like I will have to survive on Japanese/Korean food... if not, I might get to lose some weight while I am there... :P

Let's see how it goes.. Bringing my cam (well, borrowed cam body as they finally found my cam body!!! Another story, another time...), but I doubt I will be taking much photos.. I think I am more interested in getting some BR/cam stuff instead... Hehehe

Oh, has it been that long?!??

No, not that I had disappear or something, just not being active anywhere, well, except at work most of the time. But then again, most of my entries are about my travels and I had not traveled anywhere since. What did I do with my time?!?!

Hmm... I am not sure where I had spent it on since my last entry, but in that (still pretty short) time, my BR collection ballooned to 31 titles (Oops, I think I spoke too soon); I have been using my very old pair of Oakley sunglasses, which was laying around doing nothing for the past 8 years, which was very nice for me. Still on path to recover to full sharp vision - start a habit of dropping eye drops into my eye to keep it moist. I can see large stuff, but just don't ask me to read fine prints on a car or something - It's still a little blur to me. So, I can drive, just need a large (and I do mean large) distance between my car and the car in front.

No photos as well, since my cam is still in "hospital", heck not even sure when it will be out of ICU. I will need it soon as there is another trip to NZ again for 2 (work) weeks. Might be able to swing in a trip to Rotorua during the weekend. I heard HK is in the works as well, but nothing is confirmed (work again).

Looking at getting a BR player as well, since the number of BR has grown, and it will look much better on a 42" plasma than a 24" LCD monitor!

Oops, I forgot about the pictures again. Darn it.

Oh well, got to go.. Time to get to office!
