… so I stop wasting my money on garbage movies like The Expendables
So following on the heels of our semi-successful skittles vodka, we decided to try chili vodka. Step 1, take lots of thai chilis and cut em up. Step 2, put in vodka and let it sit for a week. We didnt even have to filter the chili because it all sank.
Observations:
- Drinking it straight is not recommended. It just tastes like chili sauce, so if you really want that, just… drink chili sauce and save yourself the vodka. Actually it just tastes like burning.
- Chili vodka + tomato juice + pepper = a very good Caesar (or as everyone not form Canada calls it, a Bloody Mary). We didn’t have celery, but I’m sure it would of made it even better.
- Would be great with seafood! My friend suggested shrimp … mmm
ps. I saw The Expendables last night. It was pretty bad. By the end of the movie, my friend and I were just laughing because it was so ridiculous. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time though, so that was good. But seriousl, its like Stallone decided half way through the movie “HEY, Lets just make this a comedy and blow crap up“
Got this in the mail yesterday:
While I don’t really like coffee all that much, I do like infographics and pie graphs. Mmm-mmm-mmm…. great job Tom!

I played Can Your Pet? just now… I hate you mef ;_____________________;
It’s a boring pet game for kids UNTIL I SAW THE ENDING!
Good now that we got that out of the way… I’ve been rather busy as of late. Unfortunately that means my life has gotten pretty boring and it doesn’t really take much for me to be entertained. The good news is that I actually have something blog-worthy this weekend. So 4 of us, 2 cellphones with GPS and 3G plans. And we get LOST. I’m talking like, “this is so bad, we probably shouldn’t tell anyone” but hey, there’s a hashtag on twitter for when I fail at things for a certain reason, right?
1. So we got out of the MTR (blue dot) and we walked though a mall (even stopping to ask a lady in the mall for directions). She told us to go out of the other exit and turn left… and something about an HSBC. We followed her directions got to the HSBC… and turned right. 15-20 minutes later, we ended up at the red dot (it actually wasn’t that far, but we stopped a few times to check our maps).
2. At this point we were too hot (it was really humid) so we gave up and hailed a taxi. The taxi took us to where we wanted to go but….
ARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS RIGHT THERE.
Fail. Other things I did this weekend:
- watched all of The League Season 1 Sunday night (it is only actually only 6 episodes). Hilarious stuff. I mean it is set around a bunch of friends who are in a(n American) Football* fantasy league, but there really isn’t much football talk (I don’t watch any football except the occasional Superbowl, but I still loved the first season)
- learned that macking is apparently a Canadian slang. Mindblown.
- since our skittles vodka turned out .. uhh pretty decent(?) we made (well actually, my friends made) Chili Vodka… I would claim I “supervised”, but I was too busy watching The League (see first bullet point). Gotta wait a week before we can try it … can’t wait
*Yeah I started calling “football” American Football now. Meh, not that I really care about football (both American and European) in the first place. Now foozeball, THAT’s a real man’s sport.

Burnout..
21 Aug2010
So I’ve been pretty busy lately, working 23 out of the past 25 days (and that hasn’t really stopped me from going clubbing on weekdays)…
Last night my body finally gave in. I got home from work at 10, skipped dinner, made a beeline for the bed and passed out for a good 11 hours (11 hours is more than what I’ve been getting in a whole weekend)
I’m pretty sure I got 2 or 3 phonecalls and I have nooo idea what I said, all I knew was that I wanted to go back to bed.
Now that I’m rested, BACK TO WORK!

So after a month of waiting I finally got a chance to try out the “mountain of meat” yesterday… and it was AMAZING!
We also stopped for dessert at a yoghurt place that just opened near the office.
Theres also a photo of me holding two plates of these… but I’m not going to post that
Edit: cant seem to be able to upload media from my phone atm.. I’ll do it later tonight when I get home
So there I was…
25 Jul2010
… standing on a beach.
It is warm. In the background, music is playing and there is chatter all around, but none of that really registers with my brain. The full moon is bright, too bright. Off in the distance, some teenagers are playing in the water, I can see their silhouettes. Cold waves of ocean water wash over my feet.
This is the life.
ps. oh apparently I’m not supposed to tweet about it.
pps. I went on a boat trip out to Sai Kung on Saturday with some workmates and the weather was beautiful!!! I also tried wakeboarding which was a fairly painful experience. Actually between the pain from wakeboarding, having half my body sunburnt to a crisp and falling asleep on my friend’s couch later that night (or the next morning) my body is sore everywhere. Oh and Inception was amazing.
cat and mouse!!

Three years
20 Jul2010
I’ve had a long night, so I’m going to keep this short. (Actually I had a really long rant half written, I’ve decided to delete it.) I’ve met alot of people, and each and every one of them has changed my life in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’ve gotta thank them all for that. I wouldn’t give up the past three years for anything out there! Being here really makes you think about things, like how we take central heating/AC for granted back home (you just don’t realize how important having AC in the bathroom is until you don’t have it). And these little things, they add up.
ps. However, my liver would like to give Hong Kong the good o’l one finger salute. My liver hates Hong Kong.
Summer is here
18 Jul2010
This is how a normal weekend* goes down:
7am wake up and do stuff (hike etc)
10am go home
10am – 8pm nap and watch TV (I’m all caught up on The Office** now)
8pm go out
That sun is just too intense, ya know?
*There are exceptions. I went to 3 different beaches yesterday… I… dunno why.
**I’m late ok!? I only started the first season back in June. AND I watched the UK one first but I had to stop after one episode because I just hated it (actually I hated most of the first season of The Office but at least the American one had better looking people -__-). But no worries, I’m loving it now even though the ending of season 6 was kinda… meh.

I had a few minutes to kill after lunch today…
Amazing what you can do with 2 post-it notes, 3 binder clips and a little bit of tape. More photos
