Doodlenoodlepoodle.

Almost one full week without a post! This means I've either been really busy, or super-lazy. I choose the first one. Fortunately not much has been happening here lately so it's not a terrible loss to the world.

Status quo has retained its position and the surface of the pond has calmed down with nothing to disturb it; winds of change have ceased for a while and the sunrise after a stormy night can again be seen. And cute kittens and fluffy bunnies, and all that.

Markus is gone: moved to PoLam, situated practically at the other extreme end of Hong Kong as seen from TungChung (PoLam being in the East, TC in the West). The selection of location is totally understandable after 6 months of living together. The further, the better - unfortunately Hong Kong is not very large.

Next Monday is a day off to celebrate the establishment of the Glorious People's Republic of China. It only bitters me that in Hong Kong we celebrate for a petty one day. In Mainland's side, they have the whole week off!! I have such high feelings for the Glorious Ultra-Grand People's Republic of China that I'd like to have a full week off too, you know, to celebrate the triumph of Communism over the degenerated and wretched Democracy and Capitalism.

Well, I will take a few days extra off anyway and go somewhere with Chi, who is, by the way, changing to a day-job which will ease up my life, and hers.

This week we also had one day of as during Wednesday we celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival - or as I call it "The mooncake festival". There is a cultural background to it, of course, but I don't really care. I know I should, being a ever-so valiant advocate for cultural understanding, but I've come to the point where I just enjoy the days off we get, and don't really even care why we have them. Maybe next year I'll wiki things more closely.

Below a picture of a mooncake. Feat upon it with your eyes. It doesn't taste as good as it looks.
