  well, its 4.28 am and i'm still awake, tv is on repeat (starworld is really poo, has about 3 shows on a night and repeats them 4 or 5 times in the evening)...i think i had tnt wrestling on about 3 times while ive been surfin/doodling tonight..

they even play jerry mcntyre (i think its his name, he was the short one in new kids on the block)..music ...he's in a show they have on, maybe he'll be the one who gets success....its odd how some bands can be soo huge then you hear nothing of them, quietly swept under the carpet for the next pap band....blue are being hyped here at the moment ...and alecia keys (the voice of an angle apparently)...angel or angle ??? , i wish some decent artists would come here, at the moment its the eagles, alecia keys and that kind of old crap/soul stuff..where are undeworld,prodigy,mouse on mars,funkstorung and chemical brothers...i bet they come just to stock up on warez and films, then head back home and watch them (and fine a load of em dont work)

i'm trying to update my website , its a bit more techy, but should make it easier for me to work with, it means i need to retake/edit lots of images as i'm using larger resolution pictures...a lot of people take toy collecting quite seriously....its like old people collecting army things, or stamps or antiques, ..i cant afford/unwilling to pay the big bucks for the rare stuff, but theres a lot of nice cheap things around, which have arwork/designs from some good artists, and some bad ones,..things like qee,dunny,monsterism and kubrick are popular around the world, and i get lots of people visiting my site to look at it (and hopefully buy some)..

i played a demo of devil may cry3 recently (ps2 game)...it actually impressed me...its full of cheesy action and dialogue, but it had a really nice style, the movies were put together really nicely, nice action, editing etc..it was just rreally professional, it'll sell bucketloads..its quite different to other games which lack a style of their own, but try and compete...its getting more and more difficult in game land to compete without spending millions and having larger and larger teams, the downside is often the games will need to be mainstream in order to make any money..but i'm sure the movie industry is similar, but there are still quite a lot of odd/cheap films that do well...but it still wasnt enough to make me play more than twice.....we got burntout3 too, i didnt even bother to lift the controller..it looks nice..

theres some new chocolate out here, (i hadnt seen em in the uk)...one is like minstrels by cadburys, but theyre not as crunchy and round, and they melt in ya hand ...theres also lots of pot noodle type things, lots of strange food i'll never go near (it looks like cloth, soaking in dirty water)...and turtle soup smells really bad...but i did have a purple cake the other day (yam cake)..which was nice, ...just like in japan, they have amazing cakes here....

i think the asians near star ferry recognise me now, they dont ask if i want to buy a rolex or a suit anymore...now if only the rest of them in hongkong could learn i'm not interested, it'd be much better...

things i miss from the uk...
chineese takeaway...so convenient :) ,and to be honest, i prefer the way its cooked,and they ingredients(theres lots i dont eat,beef,pork, chicken legs/wings etc)....i'm probably a pain in the arse to cook for...
sky tv....what they have here is utter crap..
my hifi - laptop speakers just arent the same..
speaking to lots of people easily (family,friends at home/work)...lots of people here speak english, but its not as easy
cartoon network..i havent watched dexters lab or anything for a while..


anyway...its now 4.52, and i need a few hours if i'm goin to hit mongkok and buy stuff. ..

and..li got an image to post, not done it yet...its a childrens playground sign on "killing street"....a great place to have a playground....
