- Went to San Diego for a weekend. My camera ran out of battery after the flamingoes (I’m an idiot). That aside, the rest of the trip was awesome. Played lots of board games. I love board games! Also got to eat at Park’s BBQ again. Yum!
- Finally went to Koi Palace for dim sum, after hearing tons about it. HR got in line at 10:50 and we didn’t get seated until 12:15. Completely overrated and overpriced, although it had good chicken feet. The leek dumplings are nowhere near as good as Great Eastern’s. Never coming here again, when City View is half the distance away.
- Went to see the Zong Guan Xian concert in SJ. They’re all super old but Zhou Hua Jian still has a fricking amazing voice. I don’t think listening to a CD will ever do him justice again. Also got to hear Ai Wo Bie Zou live, which I think will go down as one of my most memorable concert moments in life. This also reminded me again how much I’m becoming like my mum, because I still mysteriously remember lyrics to songs I haven’t heard for more than 10 years which I didn’t even like.
- Inspired by our foray into the old Chinese music of our childhood, decided on an impromptu karaoke session. We left the place at 1:30. I’ve never seen Pacific East Mall so dark!
- Due to a strange chain of thought (I think it was because this happened when I was waking up and you tend to think strange things when you’re waking up) I impulsively made an appointment today at a random salon on J-town that I found on Yelp. I was so excited. I took a bus there all by myself and stuff (don’t laugh ok, I’ve taken buses in SF maybe 5 times in my life and it was always with someone else). The salon was nice and clean and full of Korean people. I’ve never had a hair cut at a nice place before because I’m too cheap. Anyway it turned out ok. The lady I got was really good but I blame myself for not describing what I wanted properly. I can’t wait to go back again to try something else out!
In conclusion, Zhang Zhen Yue is how hot on the drums:
