Let's look at the seven day weather forecast for the week (provided by the Hong Kong Observatory) as we all like to discuss weather.
Looks good, doesn't it? ~27-33 for the whole week and only small amounts of rain. Sunshine and happiness for all it seems! Yeay!
Relative humidity high as always but changing a shirt per day has become such a habit here I don't even care about it anymore. Sucks, however, to wash three machine-fulls of clothing during the laundry-day. The proper, decent and the only way to deal with this problem properly (of course) is to buy more clothes. This will decrease the interval in which laundry must be washed, albeit during the laundry-day there will be even more machine-fulls to deal with. However, that is the kind of long-term thinking I find despicable.
I am glad to also point out, that my feet are almost healed from last week's experience. The memory still lives on and I will cherish it dearly - and it will be my telltale to my grandchildren by the fireplace.
Aside from the weather, this week should be interesting. Well, "relaxing" would be a better word I suppose. For work, I will hopefully experience a significant decrease in workload, and for the after-work activities I suppose drinking small doses of beer and playing PS2 games isn't that bad of an option.
Need to play some badminton too. I heard the "real world" has some kick-ass graphics and a good 3D-engine.
I know I'll get some flame for this, but what the hell is the point of playing computer/console games of things you could do in real life? I mean, yes, a cooking game? Why not cook for real? A sports game (i.e. tennis)? Why not just go out and play tennis? A 1st person shooter? Yes?.. The list goes on. Oh, and below a quote from Pain of Salvation I find suiting to the topic:
"Can someone please just tell me what happened? I mean, first we pay for fastfood that will make us all fat and tired; so then we pay for elevators so we won’t have to climb the three stairs up to our apartments.
Then we buy freakin’ StairMaster machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV"
- Pain of Salvation, "Kingdom of Loss"
Indeed.
Well, I eat too much fast food, that's for granted. I mean, you go to a McDonald's or KFC and you get a perfectly good meal for HKD 25. If I did home cooking, it'd probably cost more and also take up quite a lot of time. So what's the point of home-cooking here? Oh right, it's healthier.
Anyway, off to lunch now. More to come tomorrow.
