It takes a man to cry but it takes more of a man to watch that man cry

Originally uploaded by: Ali K. As I crossed near my house, I saw this big young chinese man - on his 20's, on his mobile when I heard him shouting, "WHAT?" with a sudden burst of anger and cried like a big old wolf. I thought he was only kidding. But since I am the nosiest person in this entire civilization, it made me ponder for a minute. Well, ...

Perpetual downpour

Originally uploaded by: nu-one The horrible weather has turned me into a Zombie. I couldn't stand the strain being in the flat anymore so it taunted me to dare take an umbrella for a walk. The grocery stores were closed except for the 7-11 where you can buy some decent food. Decent food? The only thing in there was a 'preheat-for-5-mins-in-a-microwave' food. It's midnight and the street were assif deserted. ...

I saw it on TV

Do you like to laugh at Commercials? In Hong Kong, there's nothing worth-noting commercials that I would pick as funny or forgettable. All TV ads here ZUX, unattractive, miserable and just doesn't make sense. My friend work for this company, the first video. I would usually ask her to do some tricks, you know if she really had talents. This one reminds me of her. WARNING: Please do not imitate ...

Remembering being a kid

Originally uploaded by: Shamun When we were kids, me and my brothers would do crazy things in the house. You know, those silly things that kids would normally do. Messing around each other, throwing of pillows, climbing the roof of your house, beating up each other until one cries from laughing eventhough it was too painful because, admit it, skinned knees are easier to fix than a broken hearts. ...

Bumblebee

Originally uploaded by: RFornillos Quattro I think Bumblebee is the only name I could only remember after watching Transformers few days after it was finally opened in Hong Kong cinemas. I didn't see long queues so getting a ticket in the counter was only less than five minutes. This movie has all the elements of success in "transformations", big, fighting, transforming - in short, ROBOTS. Apparently, it was like ...

Watching the Dragon

I met Bruce Lee once again, but this time he was immortalized in bronze in the Avenue of Stars, an equivalent of that in Hollywood's Walk Of Fame. The 6-foot-6-inch statue features the martial arts star with his torso bared and his hands spread in a fighting stance. According to the news, he died of swelling of the brain on July 20, 1973, and was buried in Seattle. He ...

I’ve been thinking

Originally uploaded by: KnOizKi *via lolcat generator. Even on a hot afternoon, as a requirement on my day off, I went off to visit Stanley Market, the small village commonly known as the fishing village in the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island to sample a delight at the al fresco restaurants on the waterfront, when I caught this little jewel sitting by the rock near the shore. I've ...

Really? A Crocs shop in Hong Kong?

*Photo courtesy of Crocs I've seen them everyday, every single day so I guess they are good for the rainy weather -- specially for the K-I-D-S. Even so, people will litter the streets with this colorful cartoonish footwear which I believe not my style at the moment. Eleven months back, I was kind of excited to buy one but I couldn't even describe all the styles to wow my ...

Because I am here

Originally uploaded by: root-2 You see, there's no denying that part of me wanted to say, "Hong Kong is my second home". This has been my home for years. I arrived in 1990 and I love (and hate) the life here. Hate because it's expensive to live and Love because it's so convenient to everything, like a walk in the park. The first few weeks I ever saw Hong ...
