I can finally breath! (once i wake up from the lack of sleep).

We just helped the NBA and Tom.com do a launch party for their new HK NBA website. 

Unlike most of our events this ones wasn't branded 'alivenotdead.com',  but we helped them with the logistics and most importantly the entertainment.    It was a pretty rushed job, but I think it came out OK thanks to everyone who helped out.

I didn't take a lot of pics, because I was so busy  but here's a few i snuck in ...Read more

Not recommended by Doctors...

I was trying to explain to a friend in China what 'competitive eating' was last night....

Because my good friend Desmond was holding an eating competition today and although I declined to participate,  I was looking forward to going to watch.  Oh btw,  this is a McDonalds-based eating competition.  The theme for this competition - how many McDonalds Hamburgers can you eat in 90 minutes?   :-P

They took many more pictures than I did,  and I video too,  so I'll...Read more

Belated Biking Catchup 2 - Lost in the Mangroves

As I mentioned in my last biking blog,  at the end of February, I rode over from the East side of HK's New Territories over to the West side.
