Buffet! + Strange commodities

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be...


Ah, there's a description... or something like that...

Cake bath time? Again, description... but I'm still not sure what it's supposed to accomplish.

His pain is your gain, it says.

Explanation:

Some ice cube trays...



Very cute...
Cell phone holders:



Row upon row of green tea inspired food products.

Are these tissues supposed to be special?

Food cushion.
Food inspired bath products. It says "Bath Sauce".

Food Inspired Bath Products continued... These are body sponges.

BUFFET PICTURES!

Starting with ... ice cream... haagen daaz!

More dessert...
Waffles!
Chocolate fountain!

Sushi!

Seafood!

I've been sending a lot of distress/depressing signals lately in this blog and on facebook lately. So, for this post, I just put up a bunch of strange HK commodity + food pictures! Very cheerful.

Nothing else I'd like to report...

Jusco :D

There's a dollar store-esque type of place in HK called Jusco. But unlike your conventional Canadian dollar store, most of everything is imported from Japan. Most items cost $10HK, which translates into approx $1.40 Cdn. I think I spent a good 3 hours in there, and I'm planning on going again after we move... Needless to say, I'm extremely excited!

At work, things seem to be picking up. But for some reason, I feel uneasy. Something unstable is going on in the workplace and with my manager. Because we are low on real-estate, I get relocated frequently. Sometimes I'm in the really nice room with the sea view; sometimes I'm in my manager's super messy room; sometimes I'm in the other manager's has-nothing room, so I'm switching computers (basically I'm working off a USB) and rearranging my files various times...sometimes in the course of a day even. But I don't think that's the main problem I have. Still not entirely sure, but my mind is on high-alert all the time. I feel like I need to be extremely careful and be at my absolute best.

I'm comfortable with legitimate ambiguity, but I dislike inconsistency. One of my number one pet peeves.

Anyway, shopping + food goodies:

Pink fuzzy yarn found. Turned it into a pig, which is missing legs at the moment.


Capsule toys on display. Some quite cute!!


Make your own sushi kit. Examine the below picture. I am personally amazed.


Lunch! Extremely green brown rice + peas and spinach.


Keychain sushi


"Rainbow Costume Cleaning Sponge" and "Ecoloy Costume Cleaning Sponge". There were banana shaped ones too, with smiles.


Woohoo, Calour.


I ate at Satay King. For $15 HKD ($2-3 Cdn), you can get lobster soup with chunks of lobster inside. Unfortunately, the meal was completed with an extremely slimely drink called "basil seed honey mix."

Basil seeds suspended in the thick drink... eeeewww


Lobster soup and white satay noodles ^___^


Our cute rice cooker


Push button for bill, water, order, service and cancel.


I got new rainboots for rainy days! It's been raining sooo much lately; sometimes it is torrential. Half my pant leg got soaked one day. I've quickly learned to watch the ground for wet spots even when it's not raining. You can get splattered by dripping edges of buildings if you're not careful...
