I am the Lord of my phone

While I was waking up today it occured to me that maybe the answer to unlocking my phone could be found where all the mysteries of life have already been catalogued....the internet.

So after a couple of hours of web diving I found the answer. Now my phone works! I rule! So to celebrate I have breakfasted on orange juice and vending machine cheese and crackers. Probably a bad move since vending machines probably aren't the best source of fine cheese. Hmmm....especially since the brand name is "SiSiSic". That kinda sounds like "super sick".

We went out for dinner last night at the Star Seafood Floating Restaurant. Imagine 400 international students all spilling into this floating restaurant in Sha Tin.


Here's some friends from Denmark. They are a lot of fun and they can appreciate beer. So naturally we get along.

In true seafood style, the lobby of the restaurant was more like an aquarium. Now I've seen a lot of different things, but even I was surprised at some of the fish they had. Some of those crabs and shrimp I've never even seen before.

Unfortunately, one of my buddies wasn't used to the food and when the chicken plate came to our table with the chicken's head prominently mounted on it, he had to leave. I followed him out to make sure he was ok and to get him a cab. Unfortunately the hostess didn't speak english or manadarin so I was left using my survival cantonese. Luckily before I left Canada for some reason I learned how to say nauseas. "Siu je, ngor pang yaugh hai jok au loh. Mgoi nngei giu yat leung dik-si a?"

Robin and I then ditched the ride home and walked back through Sha Tin and went to the exotic Ruby Tuesdays for a pitcher. But even b4 we arrived we were smoothly hammered on Skol.

Here is a shot I took from the bridge on the way to Ruby's. I kinda like the effect here. The shot was a complete accident as I didn't realize the camera lens was foggy from the humidity.

5 day, and 4 th hangover. I am on par. I am on par.
