Recollection of time in Hong Kong

Phew, now that the recovery is nearly complete, looks like its time to write about my trips to Hong Kong. Finals was over like nothing and after hanging around the city with my best friend Derik Kumagai, it was time to return home for a quick pitstop before heading over to Hong Kong.

Here is what I got for Christmas:


Excited to play this game on the 7.1 once I get home, but my parents threw the audible and gave me this:


Super fun, and saved me on the flight to Hong Kong because of the dude who blew up fireworks on the plane. Therefore, 14 hours, no TV, no movies. The NDS saved me. Kingdom Hearts FTW.


To save the trouble of writing a humungo long post, as well as saving your time from reading it all, I will try to give you the Sparknotes of my trip:



Thanks to my cousin Alex for supplying the good photos in this post:

Party people - these guys rock.

Eating everything I could have imagined (twitpics on my twitter). Eating at Michelin Star restaurants, hole in the walls, just bomb Chinese food. Partying with Aussies, Americans, Asians, beautiful people inside and out. Bought enough electronics and games to last me the next year. I always enjoy going back, I was so excited to go back this time and it definitely did not disappoint. That city has got me by the horns, and it wasn't for the fact that the somg there gave me a horrendous cough, I would go back in a heartbeat. Only regret is that I wish I took more pictures, but that required way too much effort.

Thank you again, for every person and part of the Hong Kong experience that made it just a fantastic time, and until next time I go back, stay classy and maybe clean up the air a bit. For the people, I'll see you when I see you.

Initiating Hibernation Mode

This was the last thing I said before I partied my last night in Hong Kong:

"Dear body, please hold out for another 10 hours, and I will do anything you please from then on out"


So it happened, and since sitting at the airplane gate (which I almost slept through boarding) I have slept 18 of hte last 24 hours, and will sleep some more after.

Big blog post coming soon.

Economic Decisions relating to Opportunity Cost of Time Consumption

I will update this blog as soon as I free up some time that is being occupied right now by studying for finals which I dislike. Just a little over a week and this whole finals business will be over for good (no finals next semester). Definitely expecting some big posts this winter break, including my trip to the motherland - Hong Kong.

Punishment of Aggressive Pressure Changes

Thats what I call "SUPER EFFING COLD". Punishing! Wish it stayed warm like it was for the previous 2 weeks.

Reminiscence of Past Congregations

Happy Late Thanksgiving everybody. Got to spend a few days back home in California. Besides the odd-black friday weather, everything has been great. It was definitely rewarding to spend some time back home, get away from the city and relax. However I think I would have been able to enjoy it more had my ankle been less busted; should probably get it checked up soon.

On another note, been using my new ThinkPad that I look to replace my Macbook Pro as my day to day use computer. Its great so far with Windows 7, the other very cool thing I got is the Zune HD. Not really a Black Friday deal on it, but so far it is absolutely cool, and way better than the iPod.

'Till I return to the city.

Climate Conditions Leading to Endorphin Release

All the more reason to be excited to go home for Thanksgiving:


Woo hoo!!!
