Letter to my boys

Dear Family,
it was lovely to see you all last night, although it would have been nice to HEAR you as well. When I use the video, as soon as I say I can hear you, you can tell me everything you want-school, Dr who, grandma, football, swimming , roller skating, and that goes for mummy too!! You will all be happy to know that I had a shower today! I am in the hotel in Helsinki, looking out at the snow. The snow is so deep that at the side of the road it is taller than me, but they keep the roads and paths clear here, as they are used to clearing the snow. I have been travelling for almost a week now, let me tell you where I have been.
Thursday-Hong Kong-hot
Friday-London-cool,
Saturday-Helsinki-very cold.
Sunday-Hong Kong(only in the airport), Manila-very hot, I went to the mall to get some new clothes.
Sunday. San-Francisco-cool. I left manila at 10pm on Sunday night and arrived in San Francisco at 8pm on Sunday night.
Monday- Detroit-cold, Chicago-cold( had a nice time going into the city and bought some jeans and 2 sweaters.)
Tuesday- Copenhagen-cool, Helsinki-very cold( but nice to have a shower and a bed again).
Today, Wednesday I will go back to Hong Kong and Manila.

Sometimes I have to deliver lots of boxes with electronics inside, they will be used inside cars and machines, sometimes I only have 1 box which also has electronics. Of course I would like to be teaching, but this is interesting and it means I will be able to come home sooner and go back to school. It is not always easy to get on the internet at some airports boys and I look forward to your e-mails, so don't forget-and that goes for mummy too!
Love you
Daddy

Global warming?

The HK observatory have now revised by 60 years(!) their forecast for the effects of Global Warming to kick in. I also forecast that it will snow on Jan 10th 2065 in Lantau Island. Seriously, talk about accountability.Make a definite forecast, just make sure that you are long dead when it happens. They really have no f***ing idea what is going to happen do they?

Observatory revises climate forecast

23-03-2010
The Observatory has revised its forecast for long-term weather trends. It now expects that Hong Kong will cease to have any winter days by 2090, instead of 2030 as earlier predicted.

A winter-less year is when the temperature never drops to 12 degrees Celsius or below.

Observatory director Lee Bun-Ying said the new projection is based on more detailed data.

How to block annoying facebook notices/applications.

Reposted by popular demand-
Just found a way to block posts from farmville, zooworld, etc. On the post go to posted 'via farmville' this will take you to application and then find 'block application' button. The required application will no longer appear when your friend kills a pig, plants a tree, shags a sheep, etc.


E.g. look at this post. look at bottom line-Yesterday at 10:07 via Movies.....
click on via movies(or farmville/mafiawars etc on other posts) you then go to movies and can block the application.
