A Day to Tong Chung

Today we visted my cousin's new flat at Tong Chung. The flat is not big, the living room is like the size of my room, but for 1-2 person, it is probably big enough. At night, we had buffet at Airport's Regal. 50% off (forgotten why). There was a "chocolate fountain" where you can dip fruits and cotton sweets into it. =D Tong Chung New Estates and Chocolate Fountain

Meeting S and his wife again

Met S and his wife at YMT A1 exit. Because of the street they are living at, I can't stop thinking my hypothesis is true... They were married since last April, and for 5 months S was staying in HK, temporarily suspending his job in Germany. This is probably impossible in HK? =p We dined in a local Chinese restaurant. The waiter suggested us to have Lobster... -_-" During the dinner, I helped his wife to translate another 5 pages of letter. I knew S felt a bit annoyed. Maybe he didn't want me to know too much about their problems, nor to feel our meeting was about asking me to be a translator. I asked a few questions about German. I foresee the problems which he will have to face in finding a job and staying here in HK, and their child growing up in an Adam's family. Another extreme choice... =p

SkypeOut + E-Mule

Today was about program testing. In the morning, it was my first time to try SkypeOut and another pc-to-phone program (name forgotten). The quality of SkypeOut is acceptable, much better than the other program. I remember when A called me from Japan using VoIP, the quality was similar. Driven by curiosity, I installed E-Mule at night for downloading the manga "Vagabond" and "Gantz". I remember I installed E-Mule before, but I couldn't get it work. I didn't intend to trouble others for so many hours, but I did. I still haven't figured out how to get a HighID... =p From the commentary and graphics on web, you understand why Dragon Ball is not violent nor exotic. =D

The Father's Day

My mother's not yet back. In the afternoon we went to Jardine House for dim sum. Then, I went inside a newly opened bookshop. I could identify a few German tourists by their accent even when they at first spoke in English. =D I had a look at the Lonely Planet series: a western text-major style, not very attractive (but the content can be useful?). I really prefer Japanese style if I were able to read Japanese text.

Japanese guidebook (left) and Sai Kung Seafood (right)

At night, we went to Sai Kung to have seafood. Came across CSIS classmate Yau. We were asked to choose the seafood first before we could queue for a table. It was too crowd and chaotic, and we waited for almost 2 hours, when probably all the sea creatures have died from suffocation. It was quite expensive, but not so delicious. =p I have *again* forgotten to charge my dc battery, and could not take any photos.

Tuebingen's Peer @ HKU

Met H and S who may also visit the same German University this October. I got information about ICE, Deutsche Bahn, finding jobs at Stuttgart, CitiBank, a health insurance company, etc. S was there for 6 years, so H and me can throw any questions for 2 hours at StarBucks, HKU. -_-"
