To buy a fat pig. No not really, well yes, maybe for Bis and Holly. Imagine a cow going to the marketplace, and attempt to barter milk for 1 whole pig. Either the butcher is damn stooopid, or milk has somehow become a valuable and expensive commodity scarce in supply in order for 1-2 litres of milk to get a whole pig.
Anyway.....
It's back to school. The subject of the week is....*drums rolls*...MARKETING. Yep, the fine art of going to the marketplace, telling the bucher, "Uncle, I wan 2kg topside, and oh, throw in 1kg oxtail free hor...". And then maybe bat one's eyelashes for added effect to complete the transaction. Once again, either butcher is really dumb (or a sucker for batting eyelashes), or this is pure wishful thinking on my part. The latter would be true of course. I digress. It's same old Ya Kun brekkie, this time some (possibly) Australian of greek origin (given the strange sounding last name) but speaks with a strong Brit twang. Ah. The effects of internationalization. But damn, this fake Tod's sucks, cuz his speaks at a rate of 10 words per min and it sure feels as if we're in Marketing for Kindergarten rather than Marketing for MBA students. Man, what a letdown, you can see all students in class spacing out. Definitely not promising.
Happier things: belated b'day dinner with C at Hua Ting, with a fab 50% discount thanks to those hotel food cards. Seriously, cold crab, peking duck, sharksfin soup, cod fish, beef steak, veggie and dessert for $100 is a damn good steal. Of course, they do add to my increasing contribution of sludge that goes into the country's New Water processing plant. Speaking of sludge, my contribution has tripled and sometimes quadrupled recently. Wow. If only money grows at the same rate. Ha ha.

Ahh the joys of eating crab with you... the 'industry; standard is for guys to peal PRAWNS!! not crabs!!.. But you sure like em easy and finger clean!!Hmmm.. i wonder if doggies like crabs?.. who would win in an eating war?.. And what would happen if biz went running into the field and meets up with a .. .PYTHON!!!.. would he suffer the same demise as the poor Jack Russel? (who may have deserved it as he may have yapped and lunged at he python...er.. only to be squished).. my opinion... since the dog is dead already, why interrupt the meal?.. let him finish it?.. now that he got away.. (how does a 3.5m long snake dissapear anyway?)... he is still hungry and perhaps would prey on other unsuspecting doggies!... hmm is that why there are so many reports of missing doggies?..
