Eshin Direct

My mate, Greg, is back to Hong Kong after spending much of his time trying to avoid returning to his homeland. Wandered around TST last night with him after I finished a real light dinner with Jo before she flew back to Singapore.

After eating cheap (char siu su yok fan), we tried to find this pub that Hilary’s friend owns in TST somewhere. We believe we found the pub (imaginatively named Apub) but couldn’t confirm that as he wasn’t there. So we might have had the wrong pub.

Anyway, we spent the time reminiscing about the old days, which is always fun to do. We recalled the feuds and fights that we were in at college (and some more recent ones!) – a Mexican and a Polish guy both wanted to kill me – , the number of times we got stopped by the police – racing in the city of London -, the girls we fancied, – I spent my time looking at the Japanese girls in my college – , the Japanese lessons we disrupted – mostly by being late from lunch (hey, lunch was Japanese lunches) -, and just generally living in the past. We were definitely kings then or probably more like spoiled rascals. But considering the trouble we, okay, I got us into, we were quite happy to be in tact and reminiscing about it in HK of all places.

It was good to think of the past fondly for once.
