Matters of the Heart and Immature
Sometimes when it comes to matters of the heart, I can be inexplicably immature. Jealousy, games, excessive thinking, and the constant role of trying to play big man tend to come into play during these times…
The other day, a friend of mine here was asking about my previous relationships and what I was like. And after describing it in the most raw way possible, I realized that the way that...

Something daring - writing a book
I want to do something daring. But I’m not sure if i’ll have the discipline, the patience, or the inspiration to do this…
This morning, while I was in the shower, I had an idea of something. But I honestly don’t know if I have the skills to actually accomplish this. I want to write a book. Moreover, I want to write a book in a year, and write 1 page a day. This book will...

What am I doing in Hong Kong everyday
So I’ve been living in Hong Kong for 3 months today! It’s kind of unbelievable, to tell you the truth. And while time has somewhat flown by, time has also been both pleasurably and excruciatingly slow. Pleasure in that I’ve been able to make some quality friends, and the time spent with them has been full of life. Never has there been a dull moment with them. And of course amidst...

Junk Boat Party Oct 2009 - Diabetically Sweet!
On Sunday, Oct. 18th, the host with the most, Mr. Stanley Ng, organized an awesomely sweet Junk Boat Party. As a quick reminder, a Junk Boat Party is basically getting about 30+ of your closest friends to rent a giant boat and partying your brains out along the open waters of Hong Kong; And all of this, was for the low, low price of HK$250 (US$30).
Preface: After partying with the Ng brothers and...

Cool weather and Air Conditioning in Hot weather >...
Continuing from my last post about the Hong Kong electric trams (better known as ding ding cars): Just today, I tried to get onto the tram from Causeway Bay to Kennedy Town (en route to Central). But I had to let 2 tram cars go by before getting onto one myself because it was just so crowded - to the point where people were stuffed in there like sardines; And even then, I went into a super packed...
In Central, on the stairs b/w Arbuthnaut Rd and Wyndham Road. I dare not go down to the mayhem…it’s a wednesday…

Because that's what we do here in HK
Got a call from my friend. He hooked me up with one of his friends here in HK who works for a company that I’m interested in. I said to her, “Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.”
She responds, “don’t worry about it. That’s what we do here in HK.”
The ex-pat community here is truly fascinating. It’s a small but a rich community, where...

Hong Kong Electric Trams - Great mode of transport
Lately, after my daily lunch routine in Causeway Bay with my BFF, I’ve been opting to take the electric trams (better known as ding ding cars), in lieu of the subway. Usually after lunch, I’m not in a particular rush to get anywhere, so I just take a nice easy ride home.
The cool thing about the tram is that it’s a good way to get from point A to point B, if you’re not in...

Jazz in Beijing after Punk Rock
Going to the Houhai Lake area to check out some jazz bars. I’ve already seen what the Beijing rock scene has to offer - a heck of a lot! Now it’s time to check out some of the jazz spots. As mentioned in previous posts, the rock is top notch. Ridiculous how good these people place. I’m sure and have no doubt that the jazz is going to be just as good, if not better! Going to East...

Just Got Back from Another Night at Mao in Beijing
This time my parents came with me. It was kind of cool. Tonight was a Beijing/Macau night where 5 bands performed - 3 from beijing, and 2 from macau. There were lots of Macau and Cantonese people. But I mostly just hung out with my parents and this girl that I met the night before. We spoke Mandarin. Anyway, in the middle of one of the funk band’s set, my parents break out in this...

In Beijing and Everything is Blocked (online)
This morning, after entertaining the Ng brothers till 5:30am, i quickly packed my bag, showered, and took a 1 hour nap before heading to Shenzhen, where I would meet a family friend at 8am to go to Beijing together. While as my original plan was the tweet, facebook, and blog my experience here, I found myself handicapped by the soon realized fact that China has completely blocked anyone from real...

Quote from an article by Fortune Editor, Patricia Sellers, about Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg.
“There is a broader lesson here that applies not just to women contemplating starting a family, but to anyone trying to plan for the future. Making decisions too early, trying to plan life too carefully, can close doors rather than keep them open. Any time you make a plan, you do it with...

Looking beyond yourself, and help others more
Today at Sunday service, we read a passage from Luke 14 and 18.
“When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited.” - Luke 14:8
“The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, i thank you that I am not like other men - robbers, evildoers, adulterers - of even like this tax...

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, today, October 3, 2009, is also the 15th day of the 8th month - better known as the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) (and my Lunar Calendar Birthday)…that’s right, I was born on both China’s national day (Oct. 1), and on Mid-Autumn Festival.
So how do people usually celebrate it? Usually the family gets together, cooks a large dinner, light up...
