Saturday - day off!

Have had rough couple of weeks - people from up there are not that supportive, and just making it worse, people from the same level are having the same bad time, and people from below just as clueless as I am. And, I have to conduct tons of work-related interviews, which is challenging my physiques and mental. So, I thought weekend would be a good time to relax, but actually it is a good time to sit down, think and manage some urgent work. That's my life for this month: weekdays - gym, work, home; and, weekends - gym, home, work! This Saturday (yesterday) I took a "day off". After gym, I went down to TST to have some meal with friends and well, roam around to do some window shopping. I need to buy a small luggage for business trip.


I love this new luggage. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but I just don't give a damn anymore. I need to reward myself something good. It is American Tourister, which was acquired by Astrum International, which also made Samsonite luggage. So, in other words, it is quite a branded luggage. It is four-wheel, which is what I always want. And, the size and weight are just perfect! Love it!

I went to Pho Vietnamese Restaurant (越色牛肉粉餐廳) for a Vietnamese dinner. I am not very familiar with Vietnamese meal, but this one wasn't so bad. I have had a green curry fried rice, which is very spicy in a very enjoyable way (i.e., not too spicy that you can't feel your tongue). I think I will come back to this restaurant again next time. Not a bad location. I can just troll around in TST, then catch a meal here next time. The price is reasonable - I mean you can't ask for a cheap meal in Hong Kong. After the meal, I just went straight home with my lovely luggage.

Before get back to work, I just decided to watch a movie. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, namely Little Big Soldier (大兵小将) starring Jacky Chan and Li-Hom Wong. It is not a bad movie, good acting, good scenery, great dialog, cool fighting (not those cyber futuristic fighting), and well, quite meaningful. It is about a very little pip-squeak or nobody who has a very simple dream, which was somehow destroyed by a big ambitious dream of a very important to-be-king, and they both somehow have met and need to journey together for some reasons. The ending is sad, but well-done. It certainly has brought up the message war brings sadness. I enjoyed the movie, at the very least.

So, today, just plain work, with some grocery shopping in between. Now, tomorrow, a beginning of another busy like hell week!
