Taking a photo using photo booth on a macbook - the alternative to buyin a pop art camera. But this is not even the thing for my insatiable appetite for cameras. And yup i like kitschy stuff ;)

Some random thoughts..
1. The wind is always against me when im skating (Sometimes regardless of the direction im heading). And i start to wonder if im really lightweight or i have a really huge surface area.
2. If i drive a cab one day i will never drive one of the super old yellow top cabs. People get really disappointed that the next cab in line isnt the brand new Hyundai Sonata but a smelly-lookin cab (At least i do.).
3. When i see someone wearin crocs i knew in that instant that we seriously have nothing in common (I dont care if they are waterproof or not).
4. I think im a geek. I download my media, music, books and games online and i buy my clothes, bags, accessories, books, electronics and even food off the web. Oh my and books appeared twice. Or maybe i should say im a geek chic (Sounds more like im making a fashion statement here. But again it still sounds kinda derogative.).
5. I could never understand why is 3 pieces of stones stacked on top of each other considered zen. They might as well use a creative mp3 player instead.
Whatever.

I happened so quickly.
Within a split second i am reduced from such an intricate machine, to a conventional notebook of paper. How depressing. It felt like as if im a millionare who had just filed for bankruptcy or my home was burned down. Seriously, its that drastic. Now i start to understand the importancy of backup. I could never understand why will people buy software to remind you to backup, make a schedule to back up and as a matter of fact backup your entire hdd to ANOTHER hdd. Freakkks. But yup now everything is gone.
Anyway, the occasion epicure is takin over me again. (Though Epicurus was not exactly my favourite philosopher but not that i know of many more anyway). Im havin this terrible cravin for a lemon meringue pie these days but i couldnt seem to find anywhere sellin. But for the time being, any french pastry will do. Or to eat at some branded lookin patisserie that look more like they are sellin some handbags instead of real food. Having some macaroons from Pierre herme will be nice. Or some dessert startin with creme d'something or ganache au chocolat something or endin with blanc or a la vanille.
Im hungry.

Guangzhou and Hongkong June 2007
The weather was too hot in Guangzhou and too rainy in Hongkong. But overall it was still quite a nice trip, although its always better if you were there with friends instead where you can skip some boring stuff and go straight to the interestin parts. But again, its a different kind of experience. Here are some photos taken.

They sure have land and manpower, theres even a security guard standin by the gate and salute whoever or even cars that goes into the hotel. I think his only purpose is to make others feel superior and add some life to the gate.

One of their little pastime that im not as passionate about. First you have to dig some tea leaves using a spatula and smell them while rubbin between your 2 fingers. Next, waste the tea by rinsing the cups, teapot and everything with the tea. Finally, serve them in ridiculously small cups that you will need a thousand of them to quench your thirst. In fact im yearning for a can of coke as i took the photo.

According to the locals, touchin this rock will make you lucky. People believe in anything and everything.

What a weird choice of location to set up a little mobile store in a public park to sell dried gourds and vegetables. And it smells.
