Twitter ramblings about the humidity level in my Hong Kong flat:

  • It’s so humid that this building’s lobby looks like Venice’s flooded Piazza San Marco. No kidding, it even has carpet to stay dry, not slip.
  • It’s so humid that my laundry’s more wet half a day after washing than when right out of the laundry machine after cold spinning (no dryer).
  • It’s so humid in this flat that I use the water condensing on the fridge to wet a sponge before cleaning the table. Lizard could bath in it.
  • If it is getting any more humid I will buy mouse traps to catch some fish.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I should keep the lights turned off and start a business growing mushrooms – on the ceiling!
  • It is so humid in this flat that I am looking for sponsors to support my stay here – in the rheumatism and asthma medicine industry.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I use the toilet paper as wet wipes.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I could use a dry martini – and I am a non-alcoholic.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I make rowing moves to the tune of a gondola song on the way to the shower.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I carry my boat driver’s license while getting around on my office chair.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I wouldn’t notice a wet fart.
  • It is so humid in this flat that new life forms begin to develop inside the microwave.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I consider moving to @scstorage .. and I wouldn’t even be the first one doing that: http://ow.ly/1bcFB
  • It is so humid in this flat that James Cameron called for a sequel of The Abyss.
  • It is so humid in this flat that Yoshimi Matsubara and her daughter would gladly chose their previous apartment.
  • http://twitpic.com/15ea1e – Water on top of my fridge. Can’t see too clearly in the pic but it’s enough to fill a glass. Whole fridge drips.
  • http://twitpic.com/15fi9v – My “as close to flooded as it can get without a bursted pipe” bldg lobby. A bit of uneven floor makes it a pool.
  • It is so humid in this flat that I was awaken by a large Ikea picture frame crashing in the living room. Its backside is just curling up.
  • The tragedy of my “it is so humid in this flat that…” tweets is that they are all either true or based on true facts :( http://ow.ly/1bPAc
  • http://twitpic.com/15nbtf – It is so humid in this flat that even mold starts to form patterns on ceiling. Peter the Lizard becomes farmer.

I documented my trip to Malaysia by using Twitter about once a day.

  • Hong Kong, 6am: have not been up this early since my last morning run in winter. Waiting for the 1st MTR train to arrive. Station still hot.
    6:02 AM Sep 20th
  • This will be the 1st time (a week!) since I joined that I won’t monitor Twitter around the clock. I’ll only be tweeting & replying. Strange.
    6:05 AM Sep 20th
  • For all Hong Kong arctic office environment fans, the MTR isn’t a place to be in the very early morning. Feels same like outside – humidity.
    6:08 AM Sep 20th
  • Leaving the Airport Express and being greeted by a row of trolleys makes me happy each time. Efficiency and service at its best.
    6:51 AM Sep 20th
  • Can I throw myself to the floor screaming “this is not human” because HKIA stil does not do boarding by seat rows? The one thing I complain.
    7:14 AM Sep 20th
  • 88 2G, hello SMS.
    7:15 AM Sep 20th
  • Just when I mention it, Singapore Airlines at opposite gate blares through speakers “boarding by seat rows”. It’s only my airlines’ problem?
    7:19 AM Sep 20th
  • Arrived in Kota Kinabalu. Airport field: ehem. Building: oh ho. Weather: cloudy (yeah, no burning), hot and *dry* (so much better than HK).
    11:47 AM Sep 20th
  • What a different, opposite to HK but also to Lux, lifestyle here is. So relaxed but friendly, feels like I’ve been here for yrs (it’s good).
    11:51 PM Sep 20th
  • And on the first day of my trip, the troubled tooth has become a lot more touch sensitive again. Let’s see how that will develop (hope not).
    11:59 PM Sep 20th continue reading…

Yesterday at Ikea:

  • I’m on a death march at Ikea..
  • Ikea is like a playground for adults.
  • Ikea’s hotdog and icecream shop is a female’s bait to get the male making it through to the end without committing murder or suicide.
  • Enjoying the icecream now. The “restaurant” has been completely renewed: much larger and better choice. Same prices.
