It took our estate agent about 2 months to give us the key to access our mailbox. Yet, our washing machine has committed suicide yesterday by banging itself against the wall. Plus, our doorbell is still mute (not quite convenient for the handymen and the delivery guys). For a 150 sqft place, it sure has a lot of problems.

Math and I have been looking for jobs since 2-3 weeks. It's quite annoying since they often ask applicants to be fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. If you master only English, they will still hire you if you have a lot of experience in your domain. So either way, we are screwed :)
On a brighter note, I officially tutor 5 kids per week ranging from 2 to 6 years old. There's also someone who would like some French lessons before her studies in France. As for the second assignment which I'm supposed to complete by the end of November... eeeeee still not done... "working" on it...

Just got an email from HEC promoting the next Campus Abroad 2010-2011: Brazil (the one I went to), Mexico (you need to master Spanish to be admitted), China (I'm already here), and they added this year, France (who cares, really?) and MOROCCO. Okay now, I'm officially jealous. Why did I graduate so early? It must be a crazy opportunity to learn from actual academics and entrepreneurs experienced in the fast-changing environment of Morocco...

6 months since my laser eye surgery! Thank you Lasik MD! Seriously, best investment ever... and Math is the best to have pushed me to do it. I actually don't quite remember how it feels to wake up with a blurred vision or getting frustrated because I can't find my @*&/?% glasses.
Even though I don't need to wear sunglasses anymore when I go out during the day, I still do it out of habit :)

Dinner at my auntie May, godfather Roland, 10-year-old cousin Sean and 14-year-old cousin April's place in Ap Lei Chau, an island south of Hong Kong.
Since auntie May is like my mother, hence, can't cook, she decided we were having hot pot!!!
Boy oh boy it was good :)
We had fresh surf clams, fresh crabs, fresh shrimps, lamb, beef, veggies, all kinds of balls, fish cakes, eggs, etc.
We ate from 6 to 9pm. By the end of the meal, the 2 kids were long gone since my uncle wasn't done telling us stories of his time in Montreal... (The couple lived in Canada for a while.)
One thing for sure: with him in the house, there's always entertainment!
