Today: The attempt to get that "overseas Chinese enlistment deregulation" thingie almost failed by bureaucratic red tape, but eventually got done, sort of, I think... Lunch at Brother Hotel that involved lobster was surprisingly cheap, and the food was "cheap" in another sense... Afternoon trip to Miramar and the giant ferris wheel with Carl. The wheel is really really tall, and the individual compartments do shake when we move. But it has great air conditioning, so we were happy. We found out the high pollution of this city first hand when the photographs that we took of famous landmarks were all quite foggy.

I weigh myself today, and got 87kg. That's 2kg less than my peak. So, good news, I guess. There are four of us who are doing a weight loss challenge kind of thing. Not so much a motivational thing, more like just silliness, I think. I've volunteered to do a private website for that...

I may have said some things to Carl that would be embarrassing if he leaked it out, and there's a good chance that this could happen. I guess I need to really think before I talk, especially when interacting with super hyper talkative people.
