Excerpt from Macau Daily 30-08-2006 http://www.macaodaily.com

Basically what it says is that a middle-aged man (age 43) wanted to purchase a Buddha statue in a roadside market in San Kio (新橋) near Travessa da Corda (大纜巷). Unfortunately, the stall owner was not present, so the man told to an adjacent stall owner that he wanted to leave a message to save the Buddha statue for him. Suddenly, a woman out of nowhere comes bursting out and says, "Who's taking away my Buddha statue"? She also picks up a wok and tries to hit the man. The man luckily gets away with it. The woman then picks up a large Buddha statue and starts hitting the man. Both gets injured and someone had the nerve to call in the Judiciary Police. They were both sent to Centro Hospitalar Conde de S. Januario to treat their injuries inclusive of checking the psychological mind of the woman....

Fishtank

I've finally set up my fishtank once again. Hopefully the fishes will not die on me. After a few weeks of having goldfish die on me, it seems I've managed to let these guys survive on me. I had to buy a new light as the old one cannot be used anymore. I buy most of my fishes along Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok. Plenty of fish to look and pick.

At my Hong Kong flat!

It has been three weeks since I have permanently left the Wynn Resorts Macau project and back at home for the time being. It is rumoured that I will probably start work in Macau in October 2006? So, in the mean time, I've got a management plan to revise so it can be used by the time I get back to work.

Just got my Chinese visa renewed as my old one expired just last week. Hopefully, I will pick it up tomorrow in Admiralty.

Weather has been hot and humid. August has been one of the two hot summer months here in Hong Kong. No recent threats from any typhoon since the turmoil caused by the typhoon earlier in the month.
