Insomnia is where my wife and I did our countdown to year 2006. The club is located at Lan Kwai Fong - one of the popular locations for people to spend their New Year Eve evening. The party was smashing, the in-house bands were great, and the girls were hot.
It is great to start a [...]

HK Trip (Day 10) - Chapter 13: Piracy
December 31st, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
I have to be careful in writing this chapter after recent news of Singaporean bloggers jailed for blogging materials that are racisim in nature. I doubt if any Singaporeans will be stupid enough to openly admit anything that may get them in jail.
There I was in the mall 298 looking for blank CDs, I observed [...]

HK Trip (Day 10) - Chapter 12: Dreams
December 31st, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
Finished “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon. From the readers’ review at Amazon.com, the book is accurately written from the mind of an autistic child. My next novel to read is probably Slow Man by the nobel-winner J. M. Coetzee - another book bought by my wife besides the [...]

HK Trip (Day 9) - Chapter 11: Books
December 30th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Travel Blog
Finished “One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed” by Melissa P. Hard to believe any girl would subject her body to such humiliation. Then again, diaries of this sort are often shocking - like “Prozac Nation” on depression. Moved onto “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon written in [...]

HK Trip (Day 8) - Chapter 10: Diaries
December 29th, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
Remember the accident I was talking about (see chapter 9)? On the same stretch of the road, I saw something very rare tonight. Two businessmen flagged down a taxi for his friend (late fourties I reckon) and his escort coming out from a nightclub. She looked elegant. The last time I have seen a nightclub [...]

HK Trip (Day 7) - Chapter 9: Accident
December 28th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Travel Blog
Everyday I wonder if I have enough materials throughout the day to write and as my day goes by, the title of the chapter changes. Take today as an example, the title has gone from nothing to “Dog” to “Football” and finally to “Accident” after witnessing one just about an hour ago.
By the way, I [...]

HK Trip (Day 6) - Chapter 8: Music
December 27th, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
I shall begin this chapter with music and end it with music. I miss my guitar, I miss my songs, and I miss my primitive home studio. This morning, I dreamt of writing the structure of a song (one of my few ways of writing songs) - a simple two chords for the first bar, [...]

HK Trip (Day 5) - Chapter 7: Disneyland
December 26th, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
Let’s go through the numbers. Entrance fee to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (official name) during peak days is HKD 395 (S$85). Total damage for 4 persons one day in Disneyland including food and gifts rounds to be in excess of HKD 3,000 (S$650).
Having been to Euro Disney and the one in US (California?), I have [...]

HK Trip (Day 4) - Chapter 6: Routine
December 25th, 2005 · No Comments · Travel Blog
Having a holiday back in your birth-town is not exactly the same as having a holiday in some exotic places. Your primary activity is to spend time with your family and do that I should.
My routine falls under three board categories: eat, read, and getting harassed by my family’s dog. I have not stopped eating, [...]

HK Trip (Day 4) - Chapter 5: Choir
December 24th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Travel Blog
Not sure if I have deserted God or God has deserted me or a bit of both, my appointment with JC seems to have become a yearly event. Woke up early in the morning and braved the coldness, Cynthia and I have made our way to the Catholic Cathedral - a route that I have [...]
