Wake up!

I am not a morning person, I don't enjoy waking up at 7:00 or even
8:00, but in the weekends I still find myself waking up at 9:00 while
everyone sleeps till 11:00. During the weekdays, I stopped reading
the newspaper and now find myself sleeping on the train. Its not as
bad as it sounds, I've never ran into any problems doing this, but the
few minutes of extra sleep us never enough. I guess I should cut back
on the late nights... Sigh, off to work..

The market.

Well another day another dollar. The stock market has been pretty
bad recently what with the sub-prime mess, real estate tanking and the
USA going into/is in a recession. You would have thought that people
would have learned their lesson back in the days of the Internet
bubble. Excess liquidity and greed on top of leverage. Oh well, it
is fun on the way up, sucks on the way down. This time it wasn't so
bad. This time around I got to enjoy the money I made.

Tofu is good for you!

Tonight we decided to go for Korean tofu. This restaurant is pretty
close to where I live. They serve Korean soft tofu in these
earthenware bowls, i don't suggest that you order the very spicy,
because you will probably burn a hole in your stonache. :)

Hanging out.

So today I decided to hang out at the local bar. There is 4 of us. My
friends Mike, Jeff and Rita. Rita is this Taiwanese girl from South
Africa here for 3 months working and traveling. She's really cool to
hang out with. Very different from most of the people we normally hang
out. She was showing us the pictures that she took of us and all the
pictures of me have my eyes closed. :(

Doing the Bund!

This is a picture I took from the rooftop of a friend's bar in
Shanghai overlooking the Bund. Met many interesting people on this
trip.

Welcome!

Just testing this blog feature. This is a picture of a stray cat that
has moved in with my brother. He's really friendly and pretty cool.
He loves to eat and sleep.
