Wordless Wednesday 12-July
Late, and a bit noisy, this one. But hey, it's a video instead of a photo!
Just a short video
I know I missed the Wordless Wednesday and probably I won't have time for the Friday Five today, but I'm just here to post a quick video.
So I'm on that dog training course thingie. Nothing serious (at least, I don't think so) and we were asked to bring our dogs to school. Today it was my turn, and the instructor had me try out the "Cue Transfer" thing. (To change a cue command to another).
So here I'm changing "Sit" to a hand gesture.
However, to be totally honest, I think that's al a farce because my Sai-Lup will sit in front of me anyway, as long as he knows I have food in my hand. LOL.
The best part is, since this demonstration was a success, I don't need to submit my home assignment of video-ing a training session at home haha!

Dragon Boat Races
It's the Dragon Boat Festival today and there were Dragon Boat races.
I had to show my face at this company event.
It's a nice distraction/entertainment if it were an actual holiday and we could go as we liked, but it was somewhat an un-written thing that staff had to go and cheer for our teams. Here are 2 videos, these are all the, I don't know how you call it, the quarter finals or something (or ranking, or whatever). Anyway, that wasn't the final race. (One of our teams ranked 5th in the final race and another ranked 7th, I think)
Just for you to feel the ambience!
SJM Golden Jubilee finishes 1st in this sub-race
SJM Prosperity finishes 2nd in this sub-race
Final actual race, SJM Prosperity ranks 5th overall.
Yeah, cheerleaders and all.

Sunday Update
I can foresee this is going to be a long post. Bear with me!
Dogs
The dogs have been having a grand time of their lives.
We took them to the beach!
So Woofy (aka Pequi) was like the only dog who enjoyed attempting to attack the waves. Hah. That was hilarious. Those who know him for a while should notice also that he's lost a bit of weight. Easily done without the parents around.

LJ Therapy?
I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm sick, or depressed. Maybe a little down, or tired, but nothing bad really.
OK, this is Day 2 of my LJ writing streak. I find it strangely therapeutic. That's why I'm sitting here, at the foot of my bed, writing this... nonesense.
So my Mom's best friend came over today and cooked up a salt-crusted baked fish, a quinoa something and a mango-something-else-salad. The lady practically shows up once a year. She married off to Germany and is hardly rooted in one place. She stays in Germany a few months, then to Portugal, then to Sri Lanka, then to Macau/Hong Kong, and this goes on and on. It's cool and all, but I don't know... Superficially, it sounds like "wow, they get to fly around a lot!" But then again, she really only flies to these 4 places over and over again. Of course, as always, to each his own. I'm working my way to visit more places around the world.
Right.
I had something else to write about in my mind earlier. Now i don't remember what it is about.
I've recently fallen in love with my Apple TV all over again. Simply because of this little new App in it.... Tastemade! I can simply just let it stream on its own now showing and there are so many food programs.
The shows that I particularly like currently:
( Click for some selected Youtube Videos )
And it's not like i'm ever going to make any of these that i watch anyway. But I ike watching them :-)
It's gonna be bedtime soon and I should start packing up and see what I need tomorrow. We're going to hop over quick to Hong Kong in the afternoon for work and we are trying to throw in a mini hush-hushed celebratory dinner of sorts. I don't particularly have anything to do in Hong Kong, so I should choose a good book to take with me. For some reason, I don't feel like taking my Kindle. I'd like to take a DTB (dead tree book, haha), feels more sophisticated, I guess. I also need to buy 2 boxes of an Apple Cinnamon bread mix for bread machine from a Japanese supermarket. I shall show you. It's really the only one good (I tried all the mixes they have) that makes a nice loaf of bread.
I fixed the Japanese language input thing. A reboot of my Mac fixed the problem.
Wifi is telling me I should start packing my bag and set out my clothes for tomorrow. So I shall do that. It was a tiring day today.
