things I think about when I think about Hong Kong
Self-explanatory, let’s go.
numberone. Mooncakes. I used to hate mooncakes because I thought the yolk was too sweet and the gooey stuff too… gooey. I don’t remember when I started liking them, but that lasted for a short while; I soon fell in love. And now that I’m leaving I realised that I won’t have them in October or February… And it sucks, ( Read more... ) -
New York City Is Not Cheap
So, I watched Inception two days ago. That's late -- as in, very, very late; as in, socially retarded late; as in, have you been living under a rock the past two months late. I watched it with my two best friends from college (as of right now). And both of us came out of it thinking "... Why the hype?" Out of ten reasons to watch the movie, ( Read more... ) -

I’m well aware that this is becoming a Literature blog, but I’m writing this because I’ve finished Anthem. It’s only 105 pages so it was a considerably quick read on a Saturday night. But tonight I learned that Rand can write. Her messages glare at you in the face even though it’s not so obvious at first.
At first glance Anthem is a love story ( Read more... ) -
big -- like, really, really big
One of our neighbouring galaxies is called Large Magellanic Cloud (and you thought Milky Way was weird? I mean the only cool sounding galaxy I've heard of is Andromeda) and recently astronomers found a star approximately 165 000 lightyears away.
There's a star with the very appealing label of R136a1 that has been discovered. It's not really that ( Read more... )
