Whatever the Burmese dictators are doing, they haven't factored us in the equation. Details over here.
This site will be a bit slow (well, it has been since last week).
Cheers!
PS: The physical plane is dangerous, but the astral plane is not. Come; share the power with us on a higher plane.
Back from the historical Beijing-Lhasa train journey, Buddhist friend Wan Ker-sin unveils plans of his Tibetan donkey-cum skin whitening solution franchise.
Hurry up, he is already running out of stocks!
Cheers!
PS: No, this isn't a joke.
Good News:
Four employees of our Hong Kong corporation, two of them senior managers, and their families arrived safely back to Hong Kong. A group of fourteen people, they were relatively inland, and therefore extremely lucky when disaster struck their vacation resort in Phuket.
I wasn't even aware they were in that area, so this news came as a surprise.
However, I was aware that fellow Hong Kong blogger - Ran Hasa was surfing in Sri Lanka, exactly when the disaster struck! I was extremely worried about Ran, because he went to Sri Lanka specifically for surfing!
Today I am more than happy that even Ran and his friends came out of the disaster safely and without serious injuries or harm. Much to our relief, Ran and his friend have posted a long comment today. Although, it is understandable that while physically all right, they are both extremely traumatized.
Go read their comment (scroll down in the link above) and the first hand account of how and what Ran and his friends went through right in the middle of the tsunami!
Even the descriptions about the disaster from our employees made me realize that despite reading a lot of news and watching endless TV clips, we can hardly imagine how it really was. Anyway, to cheer them up, I pointed out that while the Chinese believe fourteen to be a very unlucky number (because in Cantonese it sounds like sure-death or will surely die), their group (employees and their family members) comprised of exactly fourteen people. And therefore, the myth of fourteen is bullshit. They did laugh at my joke, but I think it will be a long time before they get over their trauma.
Bad News:
I am aware that one of our close business associate, also Hong Kong Chinese, was in the area and vacationing with his family and friends.
However, until today evening, no one has heard anything from him or the people traveling with him. Even his relatives in Hong Kong have no clues and we can only hope for the best.
This truly was a huge natural disaster. One that will be remembered by generations to come!
Later...
His Foolish Highness is now wiser and smarter (click for the cartoon).
Cheers!
Practical suggestions from the ever wise Ah Bo.
Cheers!
It has been raining cats and dogs since three days. The weather conditions are more than depressing.
I am not the only one who feels that way. An early morning call from Ah Bo (Nude King), and he told me he had a dream...
In his (Ah Bo's) dream, Lantau Buddha told Ah Bo that he constantly lived in threat and terror...
"Torrential rains, occasional typhoons, scorching sun resulting in sunstrokes, etc., are taking their toll on me. At least I deserve an umbrella or a roof, or is it that Hong Kong administration doesn't give a damn?"
Well, you decide. Personally, instead of Disney Land, I think Tung should immediately act upon providing shelter for Lantau Buddha (popup or link), or, he should quit!
Cheers!
Good friend and Yuen Long Creek crocodile - Ah Bo, called me up to request that I sketch details of an event about which he had received some inside information.
"Please Ron, it is for my blog - The Nude King On The Blog," he said. And so, I obliged.
Ah Bo narrates his "inside information" story over here.
Cheers!
Almost 24 hours after the last of 530,000 protesters completed their march, news commentaries, TV documentaries, and even the media seems to have forgotten the fun.
Couple of bloggers are still at it.
I am not the one to repeat and rehash - statistical hits and runs, but Nude King will tell you, how easy is it for you to have 10 years of fun!
Cheers!
Everyone will celebrate tomorrow, and so will I!
If Bert's description of PLA (People's Liberation Army) women; dancing in skirts during a show in Hong Kong is anything to go by, I will be attending tomorrow's PLA celebrations to express my exhilarated feelings on Hong Kong's seventh anniversary of it's handover to China.
With my powerful SONY digital camcorder, I cannot see how I will possibly miss panties under the floating skirts of magnificent women in their uniform in Hong Kong.
Girlie pictures coming up soon, models change later tonight, and pictures of beautiful women in uniform later tomorrow night.
Cheers!
PS: Nude King isn't excited by celebrations in Hong Kong.
Mate, I read the news and what nonsense do I see? That I've been captured?
What will it take to convince them that they have captured my wife, Mrs. Bo, and not me!
Even a kid can judge from the pictures below that Mrs. Bo and I are two separate entities. Look at the color of our hide, the patterns of our spots, shape of our jaws, and the expressions in our eyes!

I fumble around my wide pillow as my cellular (mobile) phone vibrates and rings. Pain shooting through my ribs, I finally answer the call.
"Mate, everything that belongs to me is now yours."
Distinctly snarly but a very sad voice and I immediately realize that Ah Bo is on the line.
"What's wrong Ah Bo?" I am genuinely concerned as I have not heard from him since he decided to enjoy his life the way he liked.
"They took my gal!" and Ah Bo starts sobbing wildly. No, not crocodile tears.
"What?"
"Yes, I was happy with my croco-wife, whom I had personally invited by traveling all the way to Mainland China via polluted rivers. Now they have trapped her and she is a hostage. The villains even heartlessly named her 'Gucci' in anticipation of her hide for the ladies' bag."
"I wish to live no more Ron. This is a cruel world. Good bye..."
"Wait!" I feebly shout. "Perhaps, I could help..."
Having had a terrible afternoon and since I was driving a bit rough, I remembered a piece of information that I wanted to share with everyone who drives in Hong Kong:
If you don't already know the above information exists and is updated regularly, some day you might want to thank me instead of "feeding the bears" (getting a ticket).
Cheers!
P.S. Girlie coming up soon, though I am again drunk/pissed.

Further to recent discussions regarding Hong Kong, Simon from Simon World has done a marvelous job of providing statements of paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping
After reading Conrad's analysis, I recommend you read Simon's article (above). That should more than suffice for anyone to understand the current scenario. You can also read Deng Xiaoping's full comments via a link in Simon's article (above).
Note: Links open in new window.
Conrad from The Gweilo Diaries provides excellent analysis of the current situation regarding Hong Kong.
I recommend his articles on Chinese Democracy as well as One Can Hope
In short, Conrad has summarized what most people in Hong Kong want, but what most up north are either ignoring or cannot comprehend. Pick your choice.
In my opinion, if anyone is interested in current affairs of Hong Kong, then both the (aforementioned) articles are a definite read.
On a related but different issue, how many of you think US should interfere in Hong Kong affairs? And should Martin Lee and fellow democrats discuss the issue in US?
The above being sensitive questions, I will understand if there are no comments or opinions.

Laying my great ass on the extremely cold toilet seat, shivers shoot up my spine. When will the weather improve?
