A new feel
November 26, 2007
Notice any changes? At long last, my website has been given a facelift. It’s not quite done yet – there are still many things that remain to be updated of fixed. I’m changing over to a Flickr photo album rather than using the old lazy-index. I’ll leave the old pictures as is since most of the original files are gone, I’ll leave these low res pictures in an old pictures directory.
Dennis and I will be starting a photo project. Details to come but I hope it becomes successful.
I bought a new webcam right after coming back from Hong Kong – a Logitech Quickcam Orbit AF – it’s beautiful and I’m very impressed with the face recognition. It comes with a built in microphone that actually works too. I accidentally bought a headset/mic but it will come in handy should the day come when I join a mmorpg.
I’m slowing down on Facebook – it’s not as fun and exciting now. It’s still a very easy way to send someone a message – the one thing I don’t have in my life is a universal address book that can keep track of my cell phone data, email contacts, mailing addresses, Skype, Messenger, etc. Facebook is as close as it gets since it’s updated by the contacts rather than by me.
Hong Kong – a Leung affair
November 16, 2007
My parents and sister came over to Japan for a brief stint and after exhausting them on walking tours around Kansai, we all headed over the Hong Kong to meet family we haven’t seen in over a decade. Hong Kong continues to clean up its streets and image and customer service remains sketchy at best.
This time however I met so many relatives on my dad’s side and they all exhibited the kind of kindness and hospitality that could not be beat. They made our trip wonderful and I am glad I got a chance to meet so many of them. I got a chance to meet some younger cousins as well.
With the brilliant site called Facebook, I can now keep in touch with them.

I’ll write a more detailed update later… feeling a bit lazy at the moment.
