This is a camping site. The boat will drop u off. When you are ready to head back to Sai Kung, you call them and they will come pick you up. Imagine…some shit happen in the middle of the night…no one will come…

On what with the bathroom thingy

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

I’ll just read IHOP ceo Julia Stewart get most of her ideas in the bathroom and so does Alan Greenspan. The famous ‘irrational exuberance’ came while he was in the bathroom.

Should I start spend 2 or 3 hours in there? In hong kong, where a 3 bedroom apartment has only 1 bath, would my family members get all piss off if I am in there for 3 hours to get my inspiration?

I am just thinking aloud….

On receiving phishing site from IM

Friday, October 19th, 2007

I got this link via a friend on my IM [tag]http://www.get-contacts-messenger.tk/[/tag]. Is this a [tag]phishing[/tag] site?

Once I login, it will automatically send all the link to my IM contacts. So, I don’t know. All I can do at this moment is to change password on my IM.

On playing around with Joomla

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

The last two days I was playing around with Joomla. I had this software since last year but I never did anything to it. I thought it was a pain to install but I tried to install it into our test server over the weekend. Unbelievable, the installation was a success. Its quite similar to wordpress installation.

Now, I need to familiarize on how to create/add categories and all other stuff. Who knows…maybe I might change this blog and my other blog into Joomla driven.

On bumming around Gold Coast – Tuen Mun

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

We went bumming around Gold Coast Australia at Tuen Mun. This place remind me of Dana Point in Los Angeles and Fashion Island Mall in NewPort Beach.

On bumming around Tai Mei Tuk/Plover Cove Reservoir

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

We went to check out some village house at the Tai Po and [tag]Tai Mei Tuk[/tag] area. As we were waiting for our real estate agent, we decided to rent two tri-cycle ($40 Hkd per hour for one tri-cycle) and ride up to Tai Mei Tuk Reservoir.

The view was spectacular. The weather was soothing.
