Dined with 輝&虹 in 鏞記. I had not been to the restaurant for at least 7 years. I liked the thousand-year egg more than the famous roast duck.

The final IPO that interested me this year. However on a few days before its listing, the stock market dropped by 564 points... I believe it is now a good time to BUY. Let's see if I am right this time.

IPO

蘭燙了頭髮。

Won $1.0. Current account balance =-$1,175.8

Called 蘭. After a very brief conversation, she cut off the line. It seemed that she was in the middle of something. Later she returned my call. I asked her if she had been very busy. She told me she had got three customers today. Some disturbing scenes came to my mind. I was upset...

Won $0.5. Current account balance = -$1,176.8

Also called "Radium F", polonium (Po) was discovered by Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie in 1897 and was later named after Marie's homeland of Poland.

A few days ago, A dissident former Russian FSB spy, Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned by polonium-210, which is claimed to be 250 million times more poisonous than cynaide.

The use of poisons in secret missions are not unprecedented, especially in Russia and its neighbouring countries.

130 people were killed and over 700 injured after the Dubrovka theater siege in October 2002. Most people died because of the unidentified narcotic gas used by special forces against Chechen terrorists during the assault.

Ukraine's current president, Viktor Yushchenko, was also an apparent victim of a poisoning in 2004. In his case, doctors were able to confirm that he had received a nearly lethal amount of dioxin, which severely disfigured his face

The Shanghaiese gals finally left today. I left the office at 7:00pm and intended to see 蘭. Unfortunately she had an appointment with her sister. So, I aimlessly went to a massage parlor in Mongkok. Shit! The place was so dark that I could hardly see anything...


上海妹

我醒來　睡在月光裡　
下弦月　讓我想你
不想醒過來　誰明白　
怕眼睜開　你不在
愛人心　深入海
帶我去　把它找回來
請愛我　一萬年　用心愛
(愛是月光的禮物) (我等待天使的情書)
(說你　愛我)
我願為了愛沉睡　別醒來
永恆呢 在不在
怪我的心　放不開
北極星　帶我走　
別躲藏　把愛找出來
我愛你　每一夜　我等待(等你)
我的心　為了愛　睡在月之海
孤單的我　想念誰　誰明白
(我在月光下流淚) (也在月光下沉睡)
(沒有　後悔)
等待真心人把我吻醒
(我在睡夢中一天) (也是在回憶中一年)
(說你　愛我)
我願為了愛沉睡　到永遠

I had to provide training to two gals from Shanghai for 3 consecutive days.

J and I treated them for lunch in Al Dente today. It was interesting to know that one of the main purposes of their trip to HK was shopping. They would like to buy a lot of comestics, cellular phones, watches, etc. They said those things are 30% cheaper in HK.

J told me she was going to Angor Wat next week.

We finished our lunch at noon, got back to 經理's house and went straight to the airport. By the time we returned to HK, it was already 8:00pm. Though the flight time between SH and HK is about 2.5 hrs, the total transportation time (including waiting) is much longer.

When we arrived at HK, we found it was raining heavily. Quite abnormal in Nov.

It was interesting to know a couple who has the same anniversry.

Went to Shanghai again. Someone joined in the last minute. She decided to follow me so that I would not be so bored (according to her). Was it some kind of joke? I did not need her company but I had to behave to be very pleased.

Someone and I separated for a few hours in the first evening in Shanghai. She went to meet her friend in Hotel Shangrila. I had my big dinner in 新光蟹宴. It was my second time dining there. This time was even better, probably because of the right season.

I left Australia in Nov 1993 after 10 months' stay. Since then, I have never been there again. I have promised myself when I come back to the country, I will be a 大爺. This may be the only way to compensate the sufferings 13 years ago...

It was N's annual dinner this evening. I took the chance to meet 蘭. The performance was not bad. Thanks to the magic potion.

What if hold stocks and then market plunges? What if sell stocks and then market soars? Very puzzled.

Left Whistler about one and a half months ago. It is now already snowing.
