bataas in hong kong - part 2

so here i am posting again. again the topic is hong kong (anyone surprised). ok its not really hong kong. its my experiences here :o)

neway, my work now involves making market updates. these are.....updates :o) that is the only way i can describe them :o) the other day i made 5+ updates. one of my objectives for summer training is "understanding and gaining proficiency" in making market updates. i sure am on the right path :o)

also went to oceanpark the other day. its a...park....like essel world less the water theme park. the rides are really short. there is something called a raging river. its around1-2 minutes long. and the raging part is.....2 seconds. coz the rest of the time, the boat (the vessel) just moves along peacefully on a path, just to reach a last point of 2 seconds where we just fall down a small incline. that is good. but then the worst part is u have to stand in a queue for around 30 mins for those 2 seconds :o) (china's population is the largest in the world -- bataas fact file)
so in ocean park we spend around 6.5 hours, of which 4+ hrs were in queues :o)
hence i am dropping the plan to go to disneyland, coz i like the rides n stuff, but standing in a queue for more than 2/3rd of the time is not my cup of tea.
also they have these cameras which are placed at points where they can capture the adrenalin rush (eg. for raging river its placed just when the fall starts). then u can buy each photo for 80 HK Dollars (that is 80*5.5 rs...plz do the calculation urself, i cant find my calculator right now)
neway, there was a cable car journey which was awesome (45 minutes waiting time). u can see the south china sea from there. awesome view. great ride.
there are also dolphins which never jumped out of water. there was a nice bird show. things like that.
but essel world was awesome. i went with deka, munch and lakshmi karat. it was good yaar. all the rides were empty. no rush. and water park was just great. oh i just got nostalgic. i also remember our comp sci trip to athirapalli and then to some park in kerela (water park). it was good yaar. we were the only guys who were in trunks. all the other guys were in pant n shirt (mallus ;o)) n we all ran in a queue across the park. everyone was staring at us. and when we entered the queue for dashing cars, many ladies left the queue (we did nothing to cause that...promise). chesty did not open his baniyan. so wasnt allowed in the dashing cars lest his wet baniyan led to a electric shock :o)

he he...neway...coming back to hongkong, i had a chinese lunch, called dim shum ( i think that is wat its called). its had with chop sticks. but i had it with a soup spoon and a chop stick and a fork and a spoon. khaana aisa ki zinda aadmi mar jaye. aur yeh mai keh raha hoon jo ki kuch bhi kha leta hai (NIT Calicut guys, remember A mess ka khaana :o)). yaar yeh chini log aisi ajeeb ajeeb cheeze khaate hai.....ki badboo se hi aadmi mar jaye. i had bought a tin of "grass jelly". i thought its a delicacy. its actually grass, in the sense green grass. ek chamach khaya, next moment, phek diya :o) neway, that is that. yesterday bought a box of frozen rice, pork n fish. microwave mein daala, aisi badboo ki stop karke machli phekna pada

neway, that is that. othr than that, aur kya. haan, wished papa happy birthday yesterday. today went to an indian/pakistani shopping area (pretty shady place) and got mtr veg pulao (37 rs pulao costs 90 INR here)

haan, the other wanted to go out for dinner, could not find anyone :o( kya zindagi hai :o(
haan, had drinks the other day. there was this company get together. waha jaake 5 glass wine piya. mast maza aaya. phir bahar aake college ke dost mile. unke saath phir ek do peg chadaya. acha tha. since then havent drank. i go to this supermarket everyday, see the drinks bottles and then come back. why dont i buy them, coz then i will start drinking in my room, which may lead to an excessive liking for drinks and then like cigs, which will anyway kill me at the rate i smoke, i will have another nemesis in the form of alcohol :o)

so that is that. nothing more actually. 40 odd days more here (less than that actually). so just waiting for them to get over soon and returning to india.
