Gone too soon

I am terribly ill. Not physically but emotionally. It kicks in even before I flew back to Hong Kong. It wasn't really homesickness though I basically felt it was more of a mix of a sadness and eagerness to see my old flat again. Unfortunately when my trip was ending I thought I was gonna be stucked in the province - the weather poured in so thick ...

I’m feeling the heat

It's been like three days now, the heat goes up to 27 degrees. I don't care if I'm dripping for as long as I am wearing a comfortable Havaianas and shorts, it fits perfectly, and I look great in it, and it's just what I've always wanted. More heat, more SPF's. And speaking of more, I should do more work-out, so that I can now at least show-off my ...

Stormy weather

Quicky. It felt like a big storm is coming when I woke up Tuesday morning so I thought I'd skip breakfast and do some cleaning - then probably hit the road for lunch because I had a new uber sunglasses from H&M, but plans was deterred by the announcement of the tropical cyclone Signal #8 which was generally expected to exceed 180km/h in the territory. While I presumed nothing is going to ...

Mother Nature strikes back

For many years, Hong Kong has been hit by the black rainstorm weather and it was nothing but horrible pouring rain and black clouds. Apparently a few days ago, was the first one as the worst rainstorm of the century ever. I didn't know much about this while inside my flat fast asleep until I went out to buy my lunch dressed in white jeans only to find ...

Q & A: What’s next?

Utopia, originally uploaded by: KnOizki Since it's a start of a new leaf, the month of June which is known to many, will be the "lucky month". Why lucky? It can be any month but I think it's simply comes down to popularity. When people 'tike-a-knot' in June, do you consider that lucky? I don't think one should be considering "luck" on anything -- luck is something that you ...

Hey, how about jelly beans?

Just when you thought flu season was over. On The News: All kindergartens and junior schools in Hong Kong have closed early for their Easter holiday, after a flu-like illness killed three children. The Education Bureau described the move as a "precautionary measure". More than 30 students from one school have showed flu-like symptoms and three children have died from apparently similar illnesses in recent weeks. Experts are investigating a ...

Thanks God for the weather

If it weren't for the weather I'd have nothing to talk about. I took advantage of my Sunday by taking a good walk outside and it gave me a hell lot of a good exercise and good photos too. Unfortunately, I have completely avoided the shopping mall, which is great. Infact, it's getting nice and warm around here today. Life so it seems looks perfect. I should ...

The evening chill

“Oh, I must show you the pictures from my vacation.” These are usually the first phrase we say to our friends after having that BIG holiday. But of course, those very photos can be extremely boring because they are often pictures of yourself, your friends, group photos and parties. While it's good to share photos of your trip, it can also be useful for others who are planning ...
