Another day another fun trip. But first Friday night, saw a whole night of Mahjong back at the Lucky Centre, with MrSng, wife and a friend. 9 hours of solid fun, a good seafood dinner, and a winning ending kept me very happy. Just happy enough to collapse in a cab and going home for a shower and a very short nap.

This time we rented the holiday house of the bank in Tong Fook, in Lantau Island. We gathered at the pier to leave around 12, and after a short ride, we were there. It was a very hot day and it was fun to go and pick up the car at the island. It was a real clanker and looked old and the air condition did not really work. We drove around the island toward the holiday house and had a great roadtrip kind of feel.

At the house, it was great to just sit and rest with the air conditioning on, but as the rest prepared to go for lunch, I volunteered to stay in. Actually I really wanted to just tan on the beach, so while they were all gone, I nipped down the backyard stairs and just tanned for a whole hour. It was great. Have not spent so much time in the sun, doing nothing but tanning for a while. I could feel all the sweat coming out and my skin burning as well. After an hour, took a cold shower, and then went swimming in the sea again when some of the others came back.

As the rest slowly all arrived, we settled in for some good old mahjong, and some people started preparing the food for barbeque as well. Barbeque was hot work, and led to many many burnt sausages. Steak was good though. After the food, we took turns to shower and then play more card games. We had a round of poker, where I won 500 bucks. More mahjong lasted till 2 am and I was soooo tired, especially after the previous night. Fell asleep in the hall and only woke up the next morning when people handed me a coke and an ice cream to start the day.

Rushed back to central after a McDonalds lunch as it was Korean class day as well. For the second week running, I was a very tired boy in class, but worth it, as by the end of the class I could read !!

Yay ! I can read Hangul now, but have no idea what the words mean.
