it's raining, it's pouring...

this is a picture of victoria park (named after the queen) and people actually play football on the concrete. in the lower left corner sits a statue of the queen.

i'm sitting at an internet cafe today. people are smoking behind me and it's actually annoying the fuck out of me. it's no fun sucking up the second hand smoke if you're not actually doing the first hand smoking.

anyway, there was a category 8 typoon yesterday. but then it wasn't too bad, just a lot of rain and wind. it beats being in about 29 degrees C and 93% humidity. it was actually cool, which makes the high humidity tolerable.

since it was a cat 8 warning, i basically stayed indoors all day. yes, it was pretty fucking boring. especially when hk tv only carries 4 stations. two cantonese and the other two are the english equivalent. and no, my parents don't have cable. and... AND, they don't have internet access. not even dial-up. woe is me.

this morning i woke up at about 5:45am. stared at the ceiling for about 40 minutes and when there was enough light, continued to read the pelican brief by grisham. it's the only english book in my parents' flat, but it was a good read. finished it later in the day, so i went and got a paperback version of the da vinci code. hopefully it'll last me a while.

around 8ish, i went and had dim sum with my grandma and uncle with my mother and two of my father's sisters. afterwards, we were suppose to go visit my sister along with my father. but then on the way, i got into an argument with my dad, so i ended up just hanging out by myself the rest of the day. it was actually pretty good. i wanted to hang out by myself anyway.

i ended up at causeway bay and walked around the hmv there for about an hour. took the mtr back to admiralty, hung out around pacific place for the rest of the after noon. around dinner time, i took the mtr to ifc - international finance center. ifc 2 is the tallest building in hk now. it has really nice toilets. i took a dump there today. and i think i'll go again when i'm done here.

met up with my mother and my father's two sisters for dinner at the spaghetti house. it wasn't too bad, but i much rather eat something that won't cause me number 3. my father showed up, but when he saw me at dinner, he left. hahaha, it's so sad. i mean christ, i'm not 12. he needs to treat me like a freaking adult already.

i think i'm done for today. the smoke is getting to me. now that i know there's an internet cafe around and that it's not too busy in the evening, i can blog more often. yeah, it's free.
