What Would She Think...

Just read a news that 龔如心's funeral will be an extravagant one.Just the flowers will all be imported from Holland, and cost millions of HKD. Given that she is known for her meanness (allegedly she spent less then 3000 HKD a month), I wonder what her response would be if she learns that the money spent on her funeral is more then what she has ever spent throughout her whole life. So ironic.

Never Spoiled by Food

I think I am spoiled by 5-star hotels. When in Hawaii, the last two days we had to stay in motels far away from Honolulu. The motels were not too bad (well, not the worst ever, nothing can beat the Phoenix motel in Death Valley), but it's enough to affect my mood. I think I would not complain a couple years ago, but recent travels have definitely raised the bar to a no-turning-back point.

On the other hand, despite having the best food in HK and Beijing for the past two weeks, I found myself still happy with "cheap" foods such as an instant noodle + spam + links. I have been having the same things for years, and somehow never got tired of them. And for the late night meal I just had? First fried some bacons and used the oil from the bacons to fry eggs. Yummy.
