HK trip 2009 - Day 14 (Tuesday Dec29)

Day 14, December 29

I don’t really remember what happened in my dream last night.
The only thing I remembered was that an old friend whom I haven’t seen or spoken to for the 6 or so years suddenly appeared and announced that he is getting married.
It was totally random.

Yesterday, J was complaining about how I started every post with “And then I woke up”, so today, I will not start with that.

So I was still sleeping.
Yesterday, I set the wrong time in my alarm clock, so it rang earlier than I wanted.
I ate breakfast, and then waited for my grandparents to get ready.

Seems like I ate too much recently. That or I ate something bad.

Once I arrived at the office, I finish uploading the rest of the photos from my phone and the posts to my website.

Just as I finish, my grandfather dragged me to lunch again.
Originally, he said he wanted to go to this club again to eat buffet lunch.
He said he wants me to use the free temporary membership card at least once or it would be a waste applying for it. Did I not say I do not want one?
So we arrived at the place along with my grandmother.
My grandfather said he would not be eating the buffet. He would order from the menu instead.
I told him I ate too much recently and my digestive system wasn’t feeling too well, so I also won’t be eating the buffet. I would just order something small instead.
Less than a minute after placing our order, he said his plate of noodles would be huge, so he would be giving me some of his food. Did I not just say that I am not feeling too well and want to eat less?
And then my grandmother said her bowl of noodles was also going to be big, so she would be giving me some of her noodles. What?
*sigh* I give up.

After lunch, I went back to the office.
I didn’t feel like walking around today.
I was tired and my left ankle started hurting yesterday evening.
It would hurt when I walk normally.
I must have accidentally twisted it slightly wrong some time during the day.

So I stayed in the office for the whole afternoon.

When going home, I passed by a phone store to find out the model number of my mother’s phone, and then bought a hand’s free headset for her.

Instead of riding the bus at the bus stop 2 blocks from the office, I walked all the way to CWB to ride the mini bus home.
I am not letting the pain in my left ankle stop me.


When I got home, my grandmother was playing mahjong with her friends.
I started packing my luggage, and continued working on setting up my new laptop.
It will take me a while to get used to Windows 7. Everything is quite different from Vista and XP.

While packing the luggage and working on my laptop, I left the TV on.
The program was talking about big things that happened in 2009.
They mentioned the news about the police using civilian vehicles as human road block.

After I finished packing, I noticed I didn't buy much on this trip.
I have two luggage containers.
They were filled with gifts when I come to HK.
Right now, I barely filled half of one of them with the stuff I bought.
