HK trip 2009 - Day 10 (Friday Dec25)

Day 10, December 25, a public holiday.

I didn’t have a good night of sleep.
I woke up at least three times in the middle of the night.
I had a continuous dream between the times I woke up...
In the dream, I needed some help from a friend, so I went to his house.
When I arrived, there was a huge party going on.
Almost everyone I met in high school and SFU were there.
I walked around for a long while, without talking to anyone, and no one talked to me.
And then I woke up.

Since it was a public holiday, my grandparents didn’t need to go to work.
Which means I would not have stable access to the Internet.
And since the office will be closed until Monday, I will not have stable internet access until Monday.

After I woke up, I had breakfast.
And then I tried to “borrow” a connection. Except there was none.

With nothing to do, I played around with the scale.
I found out I lost 3kg since I last weighted myself a few days ago.
The cloths I was wearing weighted about 1.6kg.

And then I had lunch with my grandparents.
On the way to lunch, I passed by this display:

On the way back, for once, I actually fell asleep in the car.

And then I went to Wan Chai Computer Center to buy the laptop I had in mind.
Except the only store that has that model for sale doesn’t have any stock.

I then walked to 298 to look around.
I bought a huge capacity refillable ink cartridge for my printer. Screw buying overpriced ink.

And then I went to 188 to look for interesting things to buy.
I bought 2 manga.
I couldn’t find anything else interesting, so I left.

I then walked to CWB.
I found a small mall that I went to in 2003, so I went in there to find interesting stuff.
I couldn’t find anything that’s within price range, so I left.

I then went to Boardway.
The last time I was there, I saw the model on display there.
Except they also don’t have it in stock…
I made them check the other branches, but none of the branches has it in stock.
They said the supplier has it in stock, so they will order it in for me.

While in Boardway, I saw a tiny 3M projector for sale.
It seems interesting, although a bit expensive as a toy.
I am going to research about it once I get a stable Internet connection on Monday.

And then I went home.

During dinner, my grandfather once again gave me the whole speech about how university is important, how I am wasting my time with my hobbies, why I should go for a master’s degree, and his business.
It was really pissing me off, and I couldn’t just walk off.
I had no choice but to sit through the whole thing.

After I don’t know how long, he finally finished.
I was really tired.
So I took a quick shower and went to sleep.
