Busy, Busy, Busy....

This last week was a very busy one. All the senior leaders had a surf camp group this week and we were also on pickup. This meant that all of us had to catch the van at 6:40 every morning this last week to take the 7:10 fast ferry into the city to pick up the kids and take the 8:30 slow ferry back to Lantau.

It was a good week for me, nice to get back into the swing of things working with the kids again. I had "Black Team" which is the oldest of the attendees so ages 10-13. I had from 11 to 14 kids throughout the week. A few of the days were really challenging, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were all mostly inside because of lightning procedure. It was all organized really well, but was frustrating for me and the kids not being able to surf.

One highlight of the week was drinking coffee with Irish Cream and buying amazingly awesome egg tarts at the ferry pier. They are so delicious, it reminds me of eating french toast. For whatever reason they don't keep many of them in stock so every morning I'd buy the last one or two of them, I'd also pickup a coconut roll, pinapple roll, coconut and creme, or pinapple and butter depending on what was in stock. They were inexpensive too, i'd get a filling breakfast for less than 14 HKD (so less than $2 US)

Today it's a laptop party at the flat, haha, not planning on doing much for the rest of the day, I think i'll look up campsites for an overnight Katy and I might go on next weekend, I'll also do some more research on the iPod Touch.

I've been fixing or trying to fix Meaghan's laptop for the last week. The Doc's prognosis is acute hard drive failure. The procedure to extract the faulty hardware will commence shortly, I expect it to take no more than 15 minutes, although the computer will need to remain on life support until a suitable replacement is found. I put her on the donor list, but it's not looking good... Looks like a return to "Nerd's Mecca" (aka Golden Computer Center in Sham Shui Po) is imminent. Now if you'll excuse me I have to prep for surgery

  1. Hi Adam- funny post. Thanks for the update. It sounds like you have been busy. The Doc always has a computer to work on...wherever he is. Sounds like you are enjoying the various delicious foods. It's neat to hear of them and imagine how good they are, as well as your opinions on the coffee that you find. The 15th of Redford today. Not sure if we'll make it.I'm working right now until 4. We are thinking of you and thank you for the blog. Love ya, Mom
