Olympique Marseille.

Today was the first weekend after restarting work, and to celebrate that, I went to Mong Kok with my sister for a walkabout. In the end, it turned out to be a mini-shopping session for me, as I spent about $600 buying two tops – an Olympique Marseille home shirt, and a Manchester United t-shirt. It seemed almost destined that the only type of clothes I can fit into are these kind of sportswear, but that suits me fine.

Have been playing quite a bit on my PSP as I laid my hands on a few new games. It seems that my attitude towards such new games are quite weird – if I can’t pick it up in 30 minutes chances are I wouldn’t touch that game again. Weird but true.

Anyway actually I was in Mong Kok yesterday also, as I went over and bought the Yuna Ito CD (the one that I’m listening to right now). I think the CD is definitely worth that $100 that I paid for because it’s a very nice one. I was actually thinking of getting that Ayumi Hamasaki latest best collection album, but a $430 price tag for each one of them (it has a set of 2 with each costing $430) I wasn’t really that prepared to fork out that kind of money. After all, I already am going for her concert on 7 April at the Hong Kong Coliseum!

Manchester United downed Liverpool at Anfield with a goal by John O’Shea in injury time. Lovely.

Lazy.

I find that ever since I started work, I get very lazy when I get back home. Most of the time I would just sit in front of the TV and watch all the way until I go to sleep at about 11 at night. Probably because of the fact that I do get a bit tired after spending the whole day at home, but I guess the main reason could be that apart from my job, I really don’t have much to do over here. It’s like, I don’t really have that many friends around me (yet), so it isn’t like I could go meet my friends for dinner and what not after work. That’s perhaps the thing that I have to endure the most since returning to Hong Kong, considering that most of my friends are in Singapore and all that. But then again, I’m sure I’ll get the opportunities to know more people in the process of my work, so I’m not worried.

Watched the Chief Executive Candidate Forum yesterday evening and I just found the entire process to be very funny. Why have politicians in Hong Kong (read Alan Leung) stoop so low to only know how to attack their opponents while not providing feasible and practical solutions on their own? And another thing that probably would never fail to baffle me – how can a Chief Executive candidate not get his basic financial facts right? Doesn’t he even do his basic homework? is it because he knows he is going to lose the whole election anyway so he doesn’t even bother? How responsible is that?

Probably would be heading to Mong Kok to walk around after work today, but before that happens, I have to finish preparing my XML notes. It’s lovely being a teacher. It really is. Haha.
