Music Playlist for Week of March 01, '10
Around this time last year, and the year before, I was really into looking and listening to new and upcoming music. It was that time that I discovered such bands as, The Black Kids, Ra Ra Riot, Matt Nathanson, etc. It was a really great time. I was living in NYC, started settling into a group of friends, and just doing different things every week. I would go see live music at least once every two...

Update: Feb 27, 2010 - Amount I owe to Charity for...
Background: My New Year’s resolution was that stop pretending to hit on girls, flirt with them, etc. This also includes making sexist and disparaging remarks towards women that would make them uncomfortable. Every time I do, I will donate $20 to a charity for abuse women.
My last update for this on February 8th. Every since then, it’s been down hill! The stake in the heart that killed...

How is My Life in Hong Kong?
This post is dedicated to my parents who are constantly worried. And also, it’s a very honest look at my life here.
The question of, “How is HK?” and “How is your life in HK?” is something that I get asked a lot! FYI, i don’t know why, but it peeves me when people ask me, “How is HK?” I wish people would ask, “How are you? How are things going...

Happy Chinese New Year - Tiger
This year, the first day of the Chinese New Year celebration started on February 14th - Valentine’s Day. So on some of the greeting cards this year, you found the outside of the card reading something sweet like: 情人節快樂,豬豬 (Happy Valentine’s Day, Honey)
and on the inside, you expected something sweet like: 永遠愛您! (I will love you forever!)
But instead it’s (outside) 情人節快樂, 豬豬...

Update: Feb 8, 2010 - Amount I owe to Charity for...
This week was a pretty good week in terms of my New Years resolution bet. I made almost no disparaging comments to or about women, despite being tempted numerous times by my friends (guys and girls). Didn’t even say a “that’s what she said” joke. However, I did come close and ended up saying, “you know, if you were a woman, I’d owe $20.”
So how where am I...

Your Weekend Update BMak- Jan 31, '10
Since it’s the weekend here, Let me give you my weekend update from last weekend
This was a pretty packed and good weekend. My parents came into town on Thursday night. While they were out partying, I stayed in and just chilled.
Friday: Dinner with the Mak Family in Aberdeen at Foo Lam, with a no show from my Uncle. Very strange. Anyway, after dinner I JETTED to Wan Chai for Rhonda’s...

dear co-workers, stop asking me a million f-ing dumb questions about how I do my job and questions about how to do SEO and the algorithms of SEO and PPC. You won’t get it within a 5 minute discussion especially if you don’t know what the phrase, “anchor text” means and you want to make everything in flash. It’s starting to piss me off and it’s wasting my time....

It's a big day today - Hair Cut after 6.5 months
It’s an extremely big day today. I left for Hong Kong from New York on July 27th. About one or two weeks before that, I got my haircut in Chinatown where Rose and Christina were getting their hair done as well.
Since then, I haven’t gotten my hair cut ONCE, with the occasional self-maintenance that I’ve imposed on my sides, and the back of my hair. I have cut about 2 inches off...

Am I bad son?
My parents came to visit me in Hong Kong this past weekend. I wrote them an email to check if they got home safely and my mom replied with this:
“I wished I could have more time to chat with you on your daily life. [It] Is a pity that we were not put to sit together at the wedding dinner. We lost some hours and then we did not go to the lounge later (anyway, not good time and place to have...
