Went over to Kwun Tong to have lunch with my… hmmm… old friend… I got there first, so I got ourselves a table while waiting. The restaurant was almost fully reserved and there weren’t seats available at the proper tables. Worrying that she might be wearing a skirt/dress, I picked the seats at the bar instead of those high, round bar tables right next to the glass walls. Turns out, she was wearing a dress. Anyways… Haven’t seen her for a few months but as soon as she sat down, we just couldn’t stop talking. Her lunch break was only till 2, so we took care of the bill around quarter-to then walked her back to her office. It was really great catching up with her!
Got nothing really important to attend to in the afternoon, so decided to have a walk at the apm (a shopping mall in Kwun Tong). Wasn’t looking to do any major shopping, but just wanted to see if there’s a bookstore there. There’s this book store at level 6 which I could not tell what it’s called. There were no store signs at the entrance whatsoever. Anyways, it sells books, so I went in.
There weren’t a wide range of English books so my choices were quite limited. 2 books caught my eye. ‘Why Economics Explains Almost Everything’ and ‘It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be’. Had a quick flick-through and found them quite interesting, so off to the cashier. Up to the point where I was handed my receipt that I fount out that the book store was Joint Publishing.
Was reading the latter on my MTR ride back to the office and found this really good quote.
“Without having a goal it’s difficult to score.”
This is very true! And every now and then, I find myself in a position where I’m a bit lost. Maybe my goal was kind of fading a bit. Have you ever experienced the same? Feeling kind of lost? Don’t know what you’re doing?
This quote suddenly reminded me about the goal I’ve set at the end of last year. To be honest, I think I have somehow lost that goal in the past 3 months. It’s about time to sit back and work out this quarter’s plan and visualize my goal!
How are you doing in regards to your own goal?

Haha… I think I’m really excited about my domain being hosted. I’ve been spending all weekend playing with it. I’ve now got both my English and Chinese blogs here! The only thing I need to work out now is to make the links work as planned.
I got really sick on yesterday, so kind of flu I guess. I get this every time the weather changes. I was still feeling really crooked till this evening. An Australian friend rang me in the afternoon saying that he’s passing by Hong Kong and wanted to catch up. I really wanted to go but at the end I had to turn him down because I just don’t feel like leaving home so sick. So I think I’ll catch up with him tomorrow.
There’s still quite a bit to do with the website. I’ve got some ideas, but don’t know how to actually do it. I rang @nefuis earlier tonight and asked for help. He reckons that the things I wanted to do should be fairly easy. But I just can’t figure out which file I should be working on. Oh well, I’ll search the forum to see if there’s any suggestions.
Alrighty, good night!

Woke up this morning to find that my domain has been successfully hosted!!! Was so excited and kept importing stuff and installing new plugins for the whole day.
For some reason, the blogs don’t look exactly like what it was. So I’m still trying to figure out how to align the images to the center.
Anyways, I’m very happy that my website (blog) is finally hosted with the domain pklai.com!
