The Rabid Hamster Chronicles. Another day, another white hair. When a group is lesser than the individual. I read somewhere that in a group setting, human beings tend to feel absolved of responsibility to participate or provide assistance. I was pretty skeptical of that article. I mean, it’s more to do with upbringing and culture, right? If I was brought up to help folks in need, or brought up in a culture which emphasizes community spirit, I surely would help no matter what. Time: Lunch time rush hour.

The Rabid Hamster Chronicles. Another day, another white hair. I wanted to leave everything behind me. It was all I wanted – or thought I wanted. An escape. An opportunity of a lifetime. A glimmer of hope – of good things to come. A testament that I had finally chosen the correct path. But the paper is now still blank. Pristine. Why am I loathe to leave all this behind? Comments : Leave a Comment. When a group is lesser than the individual. The case of the moving belongings. The Wierd Names Chronicles.

The Rabid Hamster Chronicles. Another day, another white hair. The case of the moving belongings. Was at the hair salon this afternoon, decided to trim straighten do treatment on my hair – which took, in all 4 hrs and involved 4 hair shampoos/rinses, one after each stage of the “ritual”. Strangely, each time I returned from the shampoo, I found my belongings mysteriously moved to another seat and arranged in exactly the same way I had left it. After the 2nd or 3rd time, I was seriously spooked out. Creat...

The Rabid Hamster Chronicles. Another day, another white hair. Bigfoot shall not cross the river nooooo. HK buses are cool! The transport network is very comprehensive. So far, I’ve wandered from the east side of HK Island to the west, from office to my place in the mid-levels, etc – and always have been able to find a bus service that goes where I want. The bus has seat-belts! The black strip on the right-hand seats). Ie don’t rest your smelly big feet on the opposite seat! Comments : Leave a Comment.

The Rabid Hamster Chronicles. Another day, another white hair. Meat has rights too! While in Causeway Bay, bumped into the supporters of rival election canditates Regina Ip and Anson Chan. Alot of shouting, waving of banners, canvassing …. And in the middle of it all … a steak was trying to canvass for “supporters”, too! It looked very out of place amid all the election mayham. Hahaha …. Comments : 6 Comments. Categories : hk adventures. A week of excesses. Wednesday – Went to Zuma. Arrival @ home = 12 am.
