Chang Chau is a a little island off Lantau, Hong Kong. Its a quaint island with the harbor then three rows of shophouses and then beach, yes its small little island where everything is chill, no vehicles or roads can be found (except for the fire truck and police patrol) and bicycles are prohibited on the weekends. Owen told me about this place, and thanks man, i loved it. Superb sky, great fun weaving through in and out of the little alleys to find egg tarts and the elusive fried shrimp roe noodles (i still can't find it).

where can you find basketball courts with a temple infront of it? or old grannies and grandpas frolicking in the beach with the occasional enlightened hairless caucasian who decided to give Ocean Park a miss?

Instead of making fun of Cantonese speaking snow white and her 7 leng zhais in Disneyland, I wanted to catch the bun festival of chang chau, where people would climb up a mountain of buns and throw them to the revelers (sentosa should screw zouk out and do one of these things). But alas wrong timing (reminder to self get lunar calender when in HK)I would have tah pau-ed some of the buns for you guys (i heard they stopped using real buns already switching to the inedible plastic variety)

Anyway apart from the Macdonald's, the food is overall fantastic. damn good seafood topped off with beer or just some egg tarts and ice tea. Its all about the chill atmosphere i say. so yeah just go there and chill.

Its spending too much time in studio that makes me regret not staying even longer there (yeah i know i pushed it to its near limit by coming back on sunday but hey monday morning just before lecture could have been better right?).

p.s happy birthday Pek and B! (why does the image of Tan Boon Thor with his tight pants come to mind?)

p.p.s. running 8km on the track trying to outpace the school track team not a good idea, not when you haven't slept well the night before working in studio....damn chiu lah.
