The Meeting of JCs

It is one of my "must-do" things in Hong Kong – that is to attend a live concert here! When I heard Jay Chou’s coming to Hong Kong, I sent my "top team" to hunt for the most expensive tickets. Despite calling in the hot lines from the first to the last second, my elites failed. After a long 8-week desperate search, Tracy finally got us the tickets! From the local TV news, it is 101% worth the effort! Jay’s concert opened last night in HK with a big bash (with Jackie appearing as a Star Guest!). Right now, Lucky Tracy is out there at the concert with Harshad (possibly the only Indian in the hall), watching live from the 2nd VIP row – while Feli and I will have to wait till next Tuesday to meet our Star!

Simply Amazing Race!

   


Thanks to Danielle
and "WX"’s superb editing skills, we get to rewind the exciting moments of our June SuperRace! Sigh, many of these star-players have left Hong Kong. I am going to miss all of these! This video is dedicated to the Ho Family who will be leaving Hong Kong next week. Enjoy the video!

Everything Must Go Sale!

A weekend of 3D Movies

For the first time in my life, I sat through an entire movie not realising that I have watched the wrong show! Simply amazing, isn’t it? Of course, those 2 monkeys who bought the tickets knew it from the start. When we were at the cinema, I was told (by Tracy and Harshad) that we will be watching “Step Up 3D”. I really didn’t suspect a thing until Felicia told me that we may be watching a different show. I was pretty sure it’s the right show – maybe the title was translated wrongly. At the end of the movie, I went to ask Tracy and Harshad about the “title”. When they started laughing, I knew I was conned. Thankfully, “StreetDance 3D” is quite an entertaining show – thanks to the likes of George Sampson, Flawless and Diversity from the talent reality show – Britain’s Got Talent. The soundtracks are awesome and the dance routines are powerful. Not sure about the strong British accent.
I scored another first with my 2nd 3D movie “Piranha 3D”. It is the first time I saw so many 3D naked babes (warning: hot boobs and bloody penis) in the cinema. I thought I saw more naked girls than the flesh hungry piranhas. Now, I know why this show got a Category III rating. This show will turn many Ah Peks out there into flesh-hunters! It was never about the killer-freak fins or the blood. It was all about the fake boobs.

Brunch Club

(Photo Taken: Brunch Club, Causeway Bay – Thanks to Selina and Tracy, they brought us to a cozy place to dine last Sunday. Simple food but nice warm homely deco. Reminded me of those outdoor grilled breakfasts that we had back in Shanghai. Maybe we should open one Brunch and Teanner Club back at home.)

The Big Messy Party

2 birthdays. 1 big party! Last night, the clan celebrated Sherry and Harshad birthday at Causeway Bay! It was a great party – we had the Jack Daniel Promoter Birthday Boy (Harshad), the Queen of Karaoke (Sherry), the cannot-make-it "Karaoke Girl" (Tracy), the DG Boys (Hongfei, Scott & Zeph) and the wild girl (Selina) who went around putting ice cubes down our asses. And of course, we have the good paying audience (Joe, Felicia, Elkan, Ethan and Crystal-Belle!) Enjoy the photos!

 

Cool Vegetarian Cafe



(Photo Taken by iPhone 4: A cool American Vegetarian Cafe, Soho Hong Kong – There are a lot of these mini "boutique-style" dining concept stores in Hong Kong. Small spaces, great services. However, many of these cool outlets are hidden upstairs. Worth all the time and effort to sniff out these places at Soho.)

Lazy Weekend

3 fat men, 3 matriarchs and 2 little monsters lazing on Shek O Beach this afternoon. The sun, the beach, the sea breeze and the sexy babes in bikinis plus our favorite snacks and cold drinks. Everything seemed perfect until our beach-goers neighbors returned with frantic looks on their faces. Their barang-barang were gone! Apparently – while the adults were relaxing on the beach chairs, the 2 little boys went around digging holes and burying other people’s belongings. In the end, poor mothers and dads had to help the poor strangers to dig out their stuffs. (Of course, looking at the boys’ expression, they have zero idea that it is a crime! In fact, Elkan did told Felicia that he has buried some "treasures" in the sand moments before. And Felicia took it as his imaginative jokes.) It was such a comical moment and I tried my best not to laugh. Okay, no more digging for our boys!

Coke Walk?

(Photo Taken: Causeway Bay, Hong Kong – Coke Walk at 33-degree??? Who in the right mind would suggest such a thing??? It must be darn hot inside! Poor walkers, they can’t see properly and many were swaying. What a torturing gimmick! They should put the Coke Marketing Manager inside these vending machines! There are many simpler (and cooler) ways to delight the audience. Next time, just send a troop of Coke Models in Red. With big smiles and free bottles of coke to give away! That will do just fine.)
