Moving house
Picked up the keys to my new home yesterday, in these credit crunch times I’m having to move somewhere a little cheaper (still in Jing-An though, obviously!).
I’m moving to a lane house (not an apartment) where I’ll sleep at street level- maybe I should get some ear plugs for the new year fireworks, it’s going to be a lot noisier than the 35th floor apartment where I am now.
A Petrol Station, yesterday
On the upside, I’ll be further away from the petrol station in this photo. It’s only going to take one stray firecracker for that place to blow up- warning sign or no warning sign.

When’s the party then? You got your keys yesterday didn’t you? Surely the party is tonight or tomorrow ?

James good to see you finally came to your senses and got rid of that silly reply to comment function that made comments impossible to read properly. I’m free tonight if there’s a party. Do you have a fridge that works now?
January 8th, 2009 at pm
WoAi- I got rid of that about 2 months ago, but thanks for keeping up. The fridge was also fixed back in December!
Emma insists that we should move our stuff in before the party, so the plan is for next weekend. There’s a little bar in this place and everything, it’s going to be absolutely beast.

James - I just assumed it would take you longer to realise it was utterly useless and another few months due to stubbornness before you actually removed it, so kudos to you for seeing the light sooner rather than later!
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Woai, is this the first signs of senile creeping in?
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Actually a few people seemed sad to see it go- ah well, you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Dingle - No, there have been other signs in the past. I just can’t remember what they were.

Do you ever go to the kitchen and forget who the Prime Minister is?

Does the -10 on that sign mean they actually pay you to use that grade of petrol?
January 8th, 2009 at pm
I think that must just be the types of fuel they have or something, the three above it are the same thing except for the number so it might be three grades of fuel.
Basically though, I dunno.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Yes it’s the octane rating, the higher rating being the more premium. When I used to drive I’d put in 93 my VW Jetta.
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Are those the lyrics to a Snoop Dogg song?
January 8th, 2009 at pm
Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay, where my dogs at?
I believe the -10 is diesel. Or LPG.

i can’t believe someone just busted out a “lil bow wow” song.
January 9th, 2009 at am
Yeah that’s me; that’s got your daughter in a frenzy ….
He ain’t so lil’ no more!

I actually have a Southern Californian accent.
With so much drama in the LBC,
It’s kinda hard being Snoop D-O double G
My junior year prom was in Long Beach, and a friend of mine went to high school with Snoop, so I am so much more gangsta than thou.

Whoops, that last one was from me. That’ll teach me to switch from Safari to Firefox and back again.

T - As long as you aren’t using Internet Explorer, we don’t mind! Let’s here it for the Huang Pu posse! And since you’re so close to him, can you tell him he’s too old to be wearing tracksuit tops!
January 9th, 2009 at am

January 9th, 2009 at am
No he meant here it as in hear it. Just like how some times ppl type I’m wiff you as in I’m with you!
T-Long Beach rules! I lived there too. Miss the beach and the rollerblading path…
January 9th, 2009 at pm

January 9th, 2009 at pm
Wiff you??? Who on earth rites like dat???
January 9th, 2009 at pm
I think it’s whiff as in “if that dog gets a whiff of you ….”
January 9th, 2009 at pm
Jing’An does bring the fragrance.
January 9th, 2009 at pm
I thought that It was perfectly clear that Jing An was the place…
Regarding (spaniars we love to use that word) Snoop. He has a song with Daddy Yankee, so…DIE. Both.
I can´t imagine Eazy-E with Daddy Yankee (maybe because he is dead.)
January 9th, 2009 at pm
EZ died so that he would never have to make a song with Daddy Yankee.

Awwww. Where will I leave the dog poop now that you guys have moved out?
