大雨的週末

點解今個週末又係落大雨呢?黃雨、紅雨 … 行雷閃電,希望不會好似上星期那樣有黑雨和水浸!

今晚難得早返屋企,未夠鐘看歐國盃,又心思思出街。但係夜晚十點幾又落大雨有什麼街行?答案係:行超市。

去了銅鑼灣開二十四小時的惠康,肆意地買東買西,最後埋單 $354.40, 大部份都係 junk food (除了Sunraysia Cranberry Juice), 睇波一流:

Snacks for Euro 2008

每次逛超市都有新發現,今次係:明治海膽粟米條 ($25)。遠看個樣似「桃哈多」,原來不甜的,真係唔多食到有海膽味,不過都幾好食:

Pistachio Gelato Cake

Gelato Pistachio Cake

Last week I bumped into da dolce Gelato Italiano in Causeway Bay and got this Pistachio gelato cake for my friend’s birthday. It tasted really good but too bad we were too full to finish the whole cake. Definitely worth a second visit!

Back from Macau

What a trip! Totally exhausted after an intensive 2-day trip. So much to do and so little time, but I still miss my home and work (yes!) and feel great to be back. Slept away the whole Sunday after returning late last night and still wanna sleep more. Check out my Flickr photos in this trip.

Tennis long weekend

Hairy Crabs“What did you do over the long weekend?”. This is going to be a popular question tomorrow for many of us in Hong Kong. Many people have probably left the town for vacation, including my sister. For me, it’s a “Tennis” one. I played for three consecutive days! I could have worked a lot but I didn’t because I felt that I needed to exercise badly.

One of the reasons being the amount of calories, fat and sugar I consumed in the last few days. I had a fantastic buffet lunch on Thursday with my colleagues at Conrad Hotel, the Alaska crab legs, lobsters, oysters, sashimi and desserts were just too tempting to pass. Then I had a hairy crab feast with my tennis teammates on Friday night, the crabs this year are so good, much bigger and fatter than previous years! Plus all the ice-cream and late snacks I had, I don’t think playing some extra tennis would even offset the fat I gained.

Thanks to Robert and Damaris, I have got some professional-looking tennis action photos taken. Other than playing tennis, I have also spent quite a lot of time watching tennis on TV (Tennis Masters Madrid), I can’t believe NOW TV doesn’t show the Finals live and Roger Federer LOST!!!

Vancouver - Day 5

我地住係 Whistler 呢間酒店好舒服,係正 creekside,晨早聽住河水聲食早餐零舍精神。今朝我七點幾就醒左,想瞓都瞓唔番。Checkout 之後就去 Lost Lake 踩單車遊湖。跟住去參觀 The Mushroom House, 呢間屋係我見過最特別既屋,如果去開 Whistler 一定要看看(地址:Emerald Estates on the corner of Pinetree Lane and Emerald Drive)。不過佢唔係一般景點,係私人地方,所以只可以係外面望下,想欣賞裡面就只可以看 website。傍晚返回 Vancouver 去同 Steve 一家食晚飯。Steve 退休前係 HKU 法律系的老師,教曉我很多書本以外的東西(因為我經常走堂,所以佢都教唔到我書裡的知識,哈哈!),多年來一直保持聯絡,好開心今次可以係 Vancouver 見面。食左餐好正既住家飯,跟住重去食 Gelato, 超級開心!

Vancouver - Day 2

今日行程好豐富。朝早係屋企附近個Westwood Plateau Golf Course行下山,個景真係靚到Wow Wow聲!跟住到Granville Island對面既stonegrill食午餐,好好味,個風景又係一流。食飽飽跟住去Stanley Park踏單車,大約二小時,都幾累,回程係車裡即刻大昏迷。夜晚去Richmond同中學老師PK Wong sir食飯,傾下講下搞到成十一點,好眼瞓不過好開心。

同一個地點(Prospect Point, Stanley Park)影的照片, 比起2000年那張我老左好多:

The search for the perfect coffee cup

Bodum Cup

Coffee machine

After shopping for a coffee machine for office for some time, I’ve finally got one from City’super Causeway Bay today — Nespresso Essenza C100. It is fully automatic and uses a capsule system, perfect for anyone who is busy and impatient. :-)
