hello mr. dinner
first this pretty thingy trashed my kitchen by doing the flipping thing of his tail, splashing water all over the place. then we had a staring contest (i lost). then i gave him a bath of hot oil with minced garlic and ginger and rosemary. then he was dinner. yum.

btw, his hot tub was a brand-new le creuset cast iron pot. how i spoil my crustaceans.

cooking something
passing by the fresh fish market on the way to and from work everyday, it's taken much restraint on my part to not binge on home-cooked seafood. my apartment is so small that the whole place would smell of cooked food if i did any cooking here. now that i'm only gonna be here half a year tho, i've given in. i don't care about the smell anymore, i'm gonna try every single thing that the fish market has to offer. starting tonight. :)

I'm nervous.
i always am when making big decisions. in about half a year, my job commitment here in hong kong will be over. when that time comes, i've decided i'm moving to san francisco.
it's scary. yet another start. i don't know how many i've had. i'm tired - of moving, of starting over, of being nervous. it's scary because i've ran out of the thoughtless bravado of my younger days that made me plunge head-on to "adventures" like this, and fantasies that i'd hoped such move would make real. it's scary because i can still remember how rough it was the first time i moved to the bay area, at the height of the dot-com bust, and i can't imagine the current economic situation to be any better than it was at that time. it's scary because i feel too old to be starting again, even though i've wrestled with this terror when i left berlin two years ago. it's scary because i don't think i can do another move if this doesn't work out.

a little boat trip to picton, new zealand
this is what you see when you take the ferry (huge, more like a ship) from wellington to the south island. amazingly beautiful. the color of the water was just insane.
oni and libs (above, posing as honeymooners) took me on a ferry ride (their treat, yay!) that day to show me the beauty of their adopted homeland. oni's brother-in-law, ronald works for the ferry company, food on board was his treat (double yay!). he also gave us a tour of the bridge.
the small town of picton, gateway to the south island of new zealand and the ferry's destination.
