Rain day

It is about Tuesday 12:30 pm EST (Wed 1:30am here) ... yea ... I feel better after taking some meds ... I’m going to keep it short since I a little bit sleepy ... but just wanna jot downing some highlights. Today rained all day ... very heavy at time ... and my HKD $10 umbrella leaked a little bit ... just like the red one that mom brought many years when the whole fam was back in HK ... something never change. But, I thank God that I did buy an umbrella a few days back ... they jacked up the price today when it is in high demand.

Yep, I’m getting fatter ... I’m eating for two people =P Today, I got invited to hot pot with Joe’s and Vivi’s fam @ “little fat lamb” or the Little Lamb ... which describe me perfectly (^o^) This place is different from Flushing ... much more grand and established ... fresh seafood of all sorts ... and whole leg of lamb – fresh while no “funky” taste. Too much food the try out in 2 weeks ... everyday, there is something new.

Btw, I hate smoking in the mall ... I can not breath =(

Yea, I found out from last week that when you walk away from the street vender, they will try to call you back ... and I have also found out that some will lie and play hardball with you ... to be a wise shopper is to shop around and know your goods ... I’m learning something new everyday. Plus I got the feeling that they know that I’m from around here ... and they jacked the price sky high to play the bargain game ... some at least 4 fold the usual price ... even if I talked them by half, I bet they are making high profit from me ... hehe ... maybe I can do better if I don’t say a word =P

We also watched a Chinese movie ... don’t know the title ... but it is about an ex-gangster trying to make right of what is wrong because of a brief moment of light (or I should say lighting) ... a supernatural intervention ... the “sky” or in English subtitle – “God” help him to turn over a new leaf “to help others like helping oneself” ... even his enemy. I think I had seen the famous main actor before in lots of action movies.

Yeaks! Don't buy from the street anymore. You probably get it cheaper buying from the store since you can't bargain like those native HK people.
