1st Karaoke

On April 3 Chang Ki, Hiraling, Ayumi, and Kaori asked me to join them to go to Big Echo Karaoke box at Tsim Sha Tsiu. This was a first time experience for me. I was singing mostly Mr.Children and Yutaka Ozaki songs. The biggest surprise this day was Chang Ki's singing voice...he really has a high pitched voice! Simply incredible! I enjoyed the 5 hours here. It costed $134 HKD for each person.


Kaori, Chang, Maki, Ryuhei, & I had dinner at Chung King Mansion


Ryuhei Leaves

Ryuhei was leaving Hong Kong today so James, Maki, and I saw him off at the airport. When Maki went to the bathroom, she asked James to hold some stuff for her. James took everything out and displayed it on the floor. He then waited and some Indonesian guy stopped by and took a look at the stuff. James and I bursted out laughing because that guy actually thought that James was a hawker!

Toshi de Mama
On April 14, Toshi's mom treated Maki, Kinglok, Julia, and I to dinner at Kam Kong, a Sichau restaurant. The food was excellent! Afterwards had dessert at Sweet Dynasty. Everyone was so surprised that Toshi's mom looks so young! No one could guess who she was when I showed her photo to other people! Many people guessed that she was Toshi's older sister.
