Count Dracula and his "Batgirl"....

....homeless, and sleeping on a bed made out of cardbox paper, with Batgirl loyally standing guard.

Actually, that's Pete napping on Cindy's rooftop patio, while Cindy and I were going through her latest ad campaign. That little "Batgirl" on his tummy was Cindy's toy Poodle, Kitty.

Yup, you got it right, it's Kitty the doggie, not Kitty the Kitty-cat. :)

How could we ever sleep with the lights so bright?

Intrinsic goodness...or resident evil?

Do you believe that there is intrinsic goodness in everything, and in everyone? That no matter how "bad" that thing or that person looks on the outside, there is this tiny spark of intrinsic goodness hidden somewhere inside?

Or do you believe that there are some people who are just plain bad, rotten to the core, i.e. resident evil, and not worth even a thought?

I believe, that in true nature, everything, and everyone, has this spark of goodness hidden within. No matter how bad it looks from the outside. You just gotta look harder, not with your eyes, but with your heart. It's always there, like an unpolished gem, waiting for its chance to unveil, to dazzle us with its charm.

I don't believe in resident evil. No one, nothing, is meant and made to be bad from the start. Some may have gone astray, who have lost sight of their true calling, and have gone onto the wrong track. Like dogs with imbalanced mental conditions, and people with illogical minds. But they were all born with pure innocence. It was the lack of experience, or the overload of improper experience, that molded them into what they've become.

And that's when rehabilitation comes in. Proper guidance and support. Showing them the way. Helping them to get back onto the right track.

Some may take only a shove, and they'll get on with their way. Some may need more time and stronger leaders. But no matter what, once you get them started, they'll only get better, to different degrees, at different speeds.

And that's the beauty of it all.

Slave girl....

...starved and slaved through the day.

House-hunting day with parents and had only two pieces of toast for the whole day. Oh, I forgot, and two cups of tea.

Drove and drove and drove. In and out of the car. Up and down the stairs. Drove some more, and some more, and some more.

Passed a million food stalls but Mom was just too anxious to see more, so sorry, no rest stops in between, we gotta hurry.

Next time, I'm not going to go house-hunting without my picnic basket fully stuffed with food and drinks.

Yeah, stuffed.

Anyways, we saw quite a few places, and some were quite interesting, but nothing really fits our profile. Or should I say, no love-at-first-sight. There's one, a small ground floor unit with prime sea front location, which I sort of liked. The overall layout and neighborhood wasn't bad, but the location itself is a bit questionable - right next to the most busiest part of town where traffic will be horrible on weekends and holidays. It's OK if we don't plan to drive during the weekends, as they do have good public transportation right at our door steps, and even a choice of minivan or mini ferry, the "walla walla". But somehow, I'm still very, extremely, hesitant.

Don't ask me why. I don't know either. Back here for over a year now, but I'm still not too enthusiastic about finding a long-term home yet.

Or maybe, I'm still feeling transitional here in Hong Kong?

Oh gosh, don't tell me that I'm still not settled in!!
