My first taste of budget airlines. The fare was okie but I believe the bigger airlines will match it anyway.

The plane was small but I guess there are advantages of being small. You waste less time getting on and off the plane. There is no in-flight entertainment of any sort (Sorry, the stewardesses don't even look cute). The seat covers are leather instead of usual. Meals came in a paper box and they served miserable portions. Nasi Lemak in the sky? Yes, that's budget airlines for you. They would be your thing if all you want is to get from point A to point B for a little lesser. I don't think budget airlines are that cheap anyway. It's just one giant hoax and let's see which airline is left standing at the end of it all.

Newton Hotel is where I put up. Convenient place with MTR station just across the road (Fortress Hill Station).

Hong Kong, welcome back.
On the post made on Wednesday, November 12, 2003, I listed Kruder and Dorfmeister as those whom I would want to meet/interview. I managed to meet up with one of half of K&D.

Peter Kruder was in town to spin for the Green Room sessions at Velvet. I did not arrange to interview him but I managed to meet up with him. Not that it's important but he looked much cuter in real life than on sleeves of K&D CDs. It's interesting how he really dug The Observatory when we got him to "taste" some music. We did not tell him the "who/what/when/where/how"s the tracks we selected for him. So, this is proof that good music is good music regardless of where it's made.

He eventually got the CD as a token of appreciation - someday the world might get to experience an Observatory track in one of his DJ sets!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where does this all lead to? When does it all end?

Haven't been blogging much because I haven't been really been in the blogging mood.


I am blogger bozo basically. Other than logging on to write out a blog - I know nothing about fixing up fancy templates (hence I had to make do with this ugly template), uploading pictures, installing comment boxes (yes, what I wouldn't know wouldn't hurt me anyway) or web counters. As a result, I will never be able to know how many people actually visit this blog. Although sometimes I feel like nobody really bothers about this blog and that it's more like an outlet for myself, I have been proven wrong by this particular incident.


"Hi, this is my friend XYZ. XYZ, meet HP" HP!?!? Yes, I have actually been introduced by a casual acquaintance to another person as HP! Well done. My blogging persona has become larger than my life.
