Swooped down into this happening land again. Though my last visit was about a year (almost... was here in Sep 03) and things seemed to have changed a lot since then.
Anyway, made an acquaintence on the plane and she kindly offered to assist me in my lodgings in Macau should I need it. Many thanks to this fellow Singaporean for her generosity. It is a first since I hardly bump into such personality on planes. Most of my time on the planes are:
- sleep *snore snore snore... hush.... not so loud!* OR
- watching the latest screening of the movie I always wanted to catch. (Not bad... kills two birds with a stone) OR
- reading whatever book I have tagged along to kill time.
Thus, this lady did make a lasting impression *AHEM...dont let your thoughts run wild pleaseeee?* Anyway, case closed. She's going to start work in Macau tomorrow. In fact we watched 'Shall we dance?' together... erm... she watched her screen, I watched mine.

Did my usual walkabout around Tsim Sha Tsui and met up with my local friend and my captain too for dinner. I have gotten the hang of the place again. Afterall, the area from Tsim Sha Tsui towards Mongkok does not really change too much in appearance. Thus after a while of navigating in these areas, you will get the hang of it without the maps.
The tinge of PRCs hangs heavy in the shopping areas of Yau Ma Tei... practically everywhere are signs of the Chinese splurging their unknown-sourced- cash. I
Anyway, did purchase some items (as at now) and still on the trail of chasing down the DVD of the Korean show 'Il Mare' (They have the VCD...but I hope I can snag the DVD one). I still have a few more days to hunt this show down. I already have 'The Classic' but this 'Il Mare' have eluded me for some years already. *whips out magnifying glass and puts on checkered cape... whistles Pink Panther tune*
So much for tonight. This Mariners' Club really suits me fine... for 350 HKD a night I am far better off than those who live in the Penisular (just across the street) *chuckles*
Cheers
