  I put my Roomba to work for the very first time today. I bought it yesterday and let it fully charge overnight. It turns out to be the smartest, most adorable vacuum cleaner ever. It has no trouble going in and out of the bathroom and kitchen, even though they have a ledge. Yet, it [...]

  Just received my Roomba 530 today. Let’s say it’s a housewarming gift for myself, so that I don’t have to do any vacuuming. It’s pricey at HK$3,280, especially compared to some China-made robotic vacuums that look eerily like Roomba at half the price. But I also did enough research prior to know that just cause [...]

• Cleaning service in Hong Kong 2

  Here’s my follow-up post to hiring a cleaning service to clean my old, empty apartment. At first, I didn’t think it was going to be too tough a job to clean my tiny apartment; I was worried the cleaner might even finish too soon, before his 4-hour was up. So I stuck around the neighborhood [...]

  I hired a cleaning service to clean my old apartment tomorrow. I found it on the web. It costs HK$438 for one worker for half-a-day (4 hours). It’s the cheapest plan, since my tiny flat falls short of even its description of small. I guess it figured anything that small you can do yourself, unless [...]

  I just learned that when you live in a big project that’s pet friendly, you’re going to get some unpleasant side effects. I was just awoken by a dog barking somewhere in the building across me, maybe one or two floors lower. It sounds like one of those small dogs with the big barks. It’s [...]

• The smell of food

  For a few days in a row around dinner time, this tasty aroma of Chinese cooking sweeps through my apartment. It must come from next door, where the kitchen vent faces my open kitchen window. The sense is so strong it makes me hungry almost immediately, then I realize I have nothing but a bowl [...]

  Last night was the first night I slept in my new home. It’s comfortable, but I didn’t sleep well. I left my balcony door opened, because it’s a lot cooler, but I was worried someone could climb in. My old home had a metal gate, a door, and four locks, this new place has only [...]

  Finally moved into my new home today. I bought it last October, but didn’t get around to move till just now. Whoever thought (my sister, Ada, for example) moving is good is insane. It’s hard work physically and mentally, because you have to pack and move things, and also decide what to keep and what [...]
