Happy summer everyone!

I had no idea it was gonna be this hot in the summer here. We had been warned but...damn. It's hot. In the evenings, despite the absence of the sun, you can still sweat a few buckets just standing still. Let's just say our washing machine has been awfully busy.

We just had our sweet 2 week summer vacation and have come back exhausted. One week in Hong Kong for family stuff and other assorted activities (ie. eating, shopping, sightseeing and more eating). The other week was playing tour guide to both Val's parents and mine in the 24 degree heat. Good times. In all seriousness though, it was pretty cool having them come visit.

So I got up the other night to grab a snack, and when I came back I was all, "huh?". "Why is my computah not lying flat?". I take a look at the bottom and this is what I find...


The battery was pretty swollen. I had taken this picture the next morning after I had taken it out. I guess I should be happy I still have a non-melted face. Long story short, I got it replaced for free despite my warranty having expired last month. Some kind of common problem... Come on Apple, I didn't overpay for my machine for shit like this to happen. Ah well.

On a happy note, our friends Naomi and Satoshi got married! We were late to the reception because we had to work but it was a pretty laid-back and good times affair. Essentially, the reception is the same as ours, except it was only 2 hours long and they gave out prizes to the guests. The top prize? A freaking Wii! I was super jealous.


Here's us with the happy couple. Getting other people to take your pictures is such a crapshoot sometimes. If only they had photo editing stuff that removed blurriness. That would be superb.

All the new pics are up on Facebook. Check em' out! That's all for now folks!



p.s. We're coming home early November.
