Telford on Saturday

Lunch in Imperial Kitchen. I like the deep-dried small yellow croakers.
Shopped around in the arcade. Got some food from Marks & Spencers - jam, muffins, pilau rice & almond biscuits + ginger biscuits. Bought 2 Van Gough ball-pens. One black lacquor top + deep purple & one black lacquor + marble white. Both were pretty. Even the one + dark green was nice, though I did not buy it. Van picked the marble white for Joycelyn as birthday gift. She likes it. Van & A bought a hair band from Alexandre. They celebrated her birthday in Lei Garden, Elements. I also bought a copper-brown wind jacket from Columbia. A small purple water bottle, too.

Lost a lot in the Xigu mj game - about 6,0000 marks within one day. Luckily, it was not real money.

I have won $20 + $160 from 2 Mark Six Random tickets. 3 numbers and 3 1/2 numbers. If put together on one ticket .........

Had dinner at Simply Thai with Nita. Just 2 of us. Let her have a treat. A dinner set for $198. Telford is a very good shopping mall and provides so many cuisines.

Could not contact Min until now. Missing her. Don't know anything about her day trip to France.

Will play pingpong today with Marga.

Must post-record Friday:

Lunch with usual group at Wanchai and dinner at Dong Resturant in Hotel Miramar with the Tsinghua pals. I enjoy the company of them all. I feel so safe & relaxed with all these people. What may seem disturbing in work can be just some jokes when shared out on table. Work keeps people smart & informative & flexible & broad-minded. It is more than money earned, experience earned and buddies earned.
