Well. . . nothing is going to happen today since there is a Typhoon 9 blowing outside. . . so all shops and activities are closed. . . aside from 7-eleven which is open no matter what.
At least i can tell you about yesterday night.
Claire and I met up after i had written my
previous post, we walked around causeway bay for bit, looking for closed shoes for Claire so that her feet don't get trampled at the concert.After a while I ran back upstairs, packed my stuff and headed off, together with Claire, to H&M in Central.
We continued looking for shoes, and eventually found a cheap pair of white ones, at this point i took farewell of her and left her in H&M for my casting.
The Casting was for Bally in Ocean Centre, TST mtr station. .
. .don't know the full name of the mtr station i think it's something like Tsim sa Tshui or something heheAfter wandering about in an underground passageway, backtracking many times. . . freaking confusing, I finally came up to street level. . . Still lost though, i eventually just chose a direction and starte walking that way. I do this when i'm lost. . . and 9 out of 10. . .
i always choose the right direction hahaha, today was no exception.Sure enough i came to a street i recognized and just followed it to Ocean Centre!
Before walking up to the office levels, i went to the bathroom and changed into my black shirt . . . so to seem a bit more presentable hehe.
I got upstairs, met the client, who was a happy and very friendly little woman. Apparently there had been some mix up with the clothes, so she said she'll just have to take pictures of me with what i was wearing instead of me wearing their products.
She said i looked good though, so hopefully i had chosen clothes that remotely resembled "Bally" hehe.After the photos she took with a normal digital camera, i headed back to the bathroom
(I've learnt to go to the disabled toilets, because the men's room usually needs a key :P) and changed back into my t-shirt.I now began to rush home because time was running short.

Once back in Causeway bay i met up with Claire again, we walked around trying to decide what to eat and eventually chose a cheap. . . a bit haggard assed sushi place. We went through 8 plates before we rushed off to 7-eleven and bought some breezers to consume before the concert.
at 7pm we rushed downstairs and grabbed a cab to the concert. . . . we came maybe 5 minutes late. . . which meant absolutely nothing because they didn't start playing until 8.45. . . 45 minutes later than what the ticket stated. . . . we could've taken it easy and taken the mtr. . .
The concert was pretty pathetic and sad to be honest. . . . .not many people at all. . . barely any in fact . . .we felt kind of sorry for the band, because in australia the tickets had sold out instantly. . . here the place was almost empty hehe. 
The crowd was shit as well, no one was jumping. . . no energy :P
Eventually Claire and I decided to walk back a bit to where there were no people at all and we just danced and ran around on that space. . . never before have i felt like such a hippy, but we had so much fun haha, the "big" crowd was infront of us and we were alone on a huge open space just doing our thing haha.
After the concert we grabbed an icecream each and headed to mcdonalds. I ate a Big n Tasty supersized menu, and claire leached off my coke and french fries.
After the meal we headed home, i put on the movie "Dogma" and we watched it till we fell asleep.This morning we lay in bed for several hours before the alarm clocks started ringing. Claire has a show today at 11pm, for Gucci.
Call time however was 2.30 pm.

So at 12.30pm the alarms went off, at 1pm we got out of bed and got ready, at 1.15pm we headed outside to scout for food. We ended up eating japanese again, this was a finer japanese restaurant though. . . . which was actually cheaper than the crap we ate yesterday haha.. . . well now we know!
At around 2pm i followed Claire down to the MTR, took farewell of her and headed back up to street level. My plans were to go to the agency, grab my weekly allowance of 700HKD, then head to the gym. . . .. . but seems my plans are foiled. . . it's a Typhoon 9 warning which is pretty damn strong so everything is closed. . . . . 
It's wierd though, we haven't felt any symptoms of a typhoon, aside from the fact that it's raining a bit and there are barely any people out on the otherwise overpopulated stressy streets outside our apartment.
I wasn't ready to head back up to the apartment because a song i liked was playing in my mp3. . . . so i thought i'd head down to the main road closer to the water and see if i could see any symptoms of the typhoon.Sure enough, it was blowing a LOT more down there, i think trees had fallen as well. . . but it wasn't as bad as i thought, maybe we're on the wrong side of hong kong hehe, i guess i should be thankfull ;)

Was nice seeing a bit of a storm though hehe, extreme weathers interest and excite me. . . they always have.
The police have cut off areas on the streets because byggnadsställ might fall down and kill people. . . haha

Well. . . . now i'm back up in our apartment. The time is 3.30pm. . . i don't know what to do. . . i think i might switch on a movie and just chillax. . ..

Well. . . . hope everything is well with you guys!
I'm having a blast, and i'm now trying to decide when to head back to singapore, either october or november. . . i can't decide yet because i want to know what the market here is like during september. . . if there is more castings then maybe i'd like to stay longer. .. but right now i'm just loosing money hehe.Alright, i'll keep you guys up to date!
Lotsa Love

My dearest godson, thank you for being so considerate! I guess you talk to your mother and heard that I had problems reading your blog. I guess my eyes are not getting any younger. Today I had no problems at all. Black on white (or almost) is an expression that evidently has more than one meening - at lest for me! So once again - thank you!
I'm really glad that you are feeling better now and I do hope you get some work soon.
Heard about the typhoon warning yesterday when I was watching the horse jumping from Hong Kong. Sweden took the silver in individual jumping. Missed the gold by one fault on the last steaple. Have you noticed anything of the OS horse events that has been taking place in HK?
Here the weather is - what my friend Elisabeth in Torekov - calls "randigt". That is changing every half hour between sun and rain and thunder showers. And that is the worst weather I know because it makes my poor body ace a lot.
Now that I can read your blog without problems I'll also try and wright more often.
Give my best to Claire and
lots of love,
Lena
Hi Alex,
Thunders are coming closer, I must close my computer, write tomorrow.
Take care,
Love/ Ivar
Hi Alex The Photographer,
The thunders last night are gone, sunshine has come now, for the moment.
Lightning, I have bitter experiences. At the end of Aug. 2003, my newly purchased computer was knocked out. The motherboard must be replaced. Graphic card of Greta's computer was knocked out once.
Picture 1)
I like this, Claire's face can be replaced by Freddan's. Was cab-dreiver who took it?
P. 2)
Are you winking to Claire? I hope so.
P. 3)
Not so many audience as for All sång på Skansen, Claire & you may go up and sing national songs of Australian & Swedish respectively.
P. 4)
What's up Claire with her right hand?
P. 5)
A lot of strong lights. How much cost el. in Hongkong?
P. 6)
Now comes the Miss Australia.
Does she jump, clap hands, screech and cast some parts of her clothes toward popsingers?
P. 7)
No comment.
P. 8)
Now your turn to screech and jump?
P.10) & 11)
Did Claire jump up on the stage to get the audience more excited? Or has she ambition to try her luck as popsinger?
P. 11)
Is Claire trying to stop your screeching or you are trying to stop her amition to become singer?
P. 12)
Seemingly Claire got upset by your protest and you are tring to calm down her.
P. 13)
When you can't stop her ambition, you are trying to join her to make a popsinging team, I suppose.
P. 14)
Now Claire accepts your ambition.
P. 15)
Now she trying more seriously her talent as popsinger encouraged by her not so talented future popsinger.
P. 17)
Did you already set up a your own popband? Is the boy at the rightest ýou? Is the girl Claire?
P. 18) 19) 20)
I feel nostalgic, recalling typhoons in Japan, deserted streets,things scattered on streets. Strong winds i Stockholm are not same as in Asia.
Thank you for collection of pictures, I am enjoying them.
