-----Tuesday, July 28-----
So. On Tuesday, I woke up at pretty early. See, I opened my eyes but was still tired, so I totally intended to go back to sleep. But then it hit me -- the smell of durians. I don't particularly mind the smell because I'm used to it by now, but waking up to that stench made me nervous. See, I had just woken up, so my nose was uber-sensitive. And then, BAM. It's hit with durian. Of course I couldn't go to sleep after that. I even had to open the main door (but kept the gate closed) so that I could ventilate the family room. (Sheesh, Mom. Way to go. >_<)
But then we went to get my HK ID card, yay! We left at about 11:30 and went to Wan Chai. At the Immigration Building, it only took us about five minutes to get the ID cards (my brother also got his) -- this is not including the walking, etc. that was necessary to get there, of course.
And then we went to the Toy Market (Tai Yuen Street) because Mom had bought some clothes from a store, and the clothing turned out to be very comfortable because it wasn't too thick. She was so pleased with it that she decided to buy a few more, and all was well.
And then we got back home at about 2:30, but I was no longer hungry (my time had passed). So I just ate some fruit and called it my meal. (Also, all of the eating out has made me lose my taste for food. I'm sick of eating, it seems. This happens to me every few months or so -- I just hate food for a few days, which is altogether very depressing.)

For the whole afternoon, I just Facebooked and Facebooked. I managed to get through about half of my posts (I haven't even checked my notifications, inbox, and requests!), which was pretty good. And then in the evening, my mom and I didn't go out to the track to run because she wanted to use a facial mask afterwards. So we watched TV and jogged at the same time. Human Tetris was on, and it made me laugh (cynically) at the contestants. It was very mean of me, I realize...

So. I stayed at home all day. First, I woke at about 11:40, which was entirely ridiculous. Like, who let me oversleep so much!?! (Okay, okay. I am totally to blame, I know.) But after lunch, I spent all afternoon on Facebook again. Today was somehow very much less prodcutive (if I count Tuesday's amount as half, I only got through one quarter today), which was probably due to the insane heat and humidity. It was pretty brutal, and I basically lazed around all day because it was so swelteringly hot.
After dinner, Mom and I went to the track (YAY!), and it was all lovely. And now here I am, typing so early in the morning because I have to feign being asleep. (My parents want me to sleep, but I have to blog!)
It seems that today was boring, but I tried a Thai grapefruit (游子) today! It was pretty cool even though there were so many seeds. It seemed a little dryer than regular grapefruit at first, but it turned out to be very juicy after I actually tried the cells. It wasn't particularly sweet, which left me slightly disappointed. (I'm so used to American grapefruit, which is so juicy and sweet. But the grapefruit here isn't as sweet, and the Thai grapefruit was just as disappointing.)
And btw, I just realized this. On Japan Air, which we took to go to Japan earlier this month, there was a drink I liked -- "Yuzu Juice". And there were Asian characters next to the English name. And I just realized that it said "游子", which means that the "Yuzu Juice" is in fact Thai grapefruit juice. Yay to discoveries!

Anyways, tired. Love, etc.
