I haven’t written here in 3 months. Shit. Take that as a testament to how busy I’ve been this past semester. The workload was pretty intense. It felt like there was some project due or a quiz/test/exam every other week, and towards the end of the semester, every week. Unlike last spring, I would not call this a good semester. I cannot imagine my grades being better than what I had last semester either… that pretty much blows.
So for the past week I’ve just been relaxing. Meeting friends from high school, chilling with friends from university… and spending way too much money on food and entertainment. At the moment, I’m actually broke.
Went to the arcade and two cyber cafes. Went biking from Sha Tin to Tai Po Country Park and back. (That was some serious ass-pain.) Watched Avatar in 3D. It was nothing special plot-wise (at all) but one definitely has to give props to the graphics team.
Ate all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ the other day. That wasn’t so bad, but then we had the wise idea of going to a toilet-themed restaurant for dessert. Ignoring the fact that, yes, everything in the place has something to do with urinals, toilet bowls, and of course the stuff we put in them, the actual dessert we ordered was insane size-wise. For 40 HK dollars, you get a toilet bowl with chocolate ice cream in the shape of dog business on top of a cracker, another scoop of strawberry ice cream, mango and jello pieces, raisins, red beans, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles, some candy and three-bathroom breaks worth of crushed ice. We later saw two grown men sharing one of these things, but being the ignorant tough guys we are, we decided to order one each. To cut a long story short, none of us managed to finish.
This was before we started eating, notice everyone’s content expressions.
And an hour later…
Facepalm.
Went to the Asia Game Show yesterday. Waste of 25 bucks. All they had was a huge PS3 stand with a pretty local selection of games and essentially nothing else. There was a Toyota stand with a driving simulator but you had to actually own a damn Toyota just to have a go at it. WTF kind of marketing is that exactly?
Plan for tomorrow? Go to work. I can’t be broke much longer.
