Busy May & June

I've been having an incredibly busy 4 weeks lately......seems that there's so much going on these days in HK I've barely logged into my FB page! ^_^

1) Trip to Disneyland HK

At the end of last month I went to Disneyland HK recently with a mutual friend. ^_^

It was my first time there.....my bro had been before and I wanted to go quite a long while ago but never really had the time. Given my friend was also visiting HK for the first time I also decided it was probably worthwhile for me to go too...

So we went on a load of stuffs. Trains, miniature plane rides.....Tomorrowland....plus we saw the parade.....it was pretty fun to say the least! Not for a long while had I had so much fun!

And no guys, before you think she is who you think she is, she ISN'T my new 'girlfriend', only just a mutual friend... :)

2) New 1000Mbps broadband cable installed!

I recently had the chance to try out the 1000mbps service from HK Broadband! An engineer came in about 2 weeks ago to our home to install the lines, which had to be specially connected to the phone network as it was one of the few being installed in our building. For a long while we'd been stuck using 8mbps speeds for browsing from PCCW and they were just awfully long periods for downloading. So imagine our surprise when a leaflet popped into our postbox adverising this new service for very little money monthly (like $190 HK$)! We just said we gotta have it! :)

3) Angry Birds

Went out and got myself some Angry Birds merchandise recently. I came across this lovely giant bird one day in Toys R Us (which is also a cushion) and just decided I needed it for my bedroom! I also got the Angry Bird keyring...it looks so cute! ^^

4) LA Noire

Got myself and my bro a copy of LA Noire recently. Gotta admit its one of the best games I've played in a long time. I've loved playing adventure games all my life (like Grim Fandago, Police Quest and Monkey Island) and I rarely played GTA-type games in the past, but when this game was launched recently it really caught my intrigue....

In the game you play as a police detective working through to homicide and vice trying to solve mostly murder cases using your sense of deduction. Unlike other choice-based games this one is dependent on you guessing what answers are the correct ones coming from the person you are interviewing, and getting it right/wrong is a matter of life and death. The game faithfully recreates the city of Los Angeles in the late 1940s where you are allowed to drive around the city to visit locations and chase suspects/criminals by car or on foot. And yes you can shoot suspects if you think they are trouble. It is so well put together it's certainly a spectacle to behold....
