Friday Night Ghosts

Hungry Ghosts (or famished phantoms, or starving specters) played Hidden Agenda where they opened up for a chinese Dance Rock band Da Bang....

Hidden Agenda has extended their stage... so big now!
Thunderous Bass amp-age! Fantastic sound.

 One of my favorite things about watching Hungry Ghosts is Paul's amazing facial expressions....
... and energy.
Luke also has some epic moves!

The Ghosts sounded great. Seems to me like they get better and better with each show.


DA BANG!

Surprisingly great band from china. Punk-ish Dance Rock...
Super catchy riffs and 'phat beats'

Seriously awesome band

emotional bassist.

really good vocals...

They had all the elements of a great Dance Rock band with a splash of just pure balls.


Here is a video that does them VERY little justice....


seriously way better than this live!

Ocean Park and the Braai-B-Q

A group of us had the last wednesday off and decided to mossy on down to Ocean Park.
Was a beautiful day for walking until our legs turned to jelly...

whilst in the park, ross found a spot to set up a new shop.

we ferris wheeled. Pretty rad view from here I gotta say.

The Dragon roller coaster was shut down for the day much to our dismay. 

We also found out that all of the Halloween stuff opened at night and required a different ticket, which was a little gay. This was a laser tag zombie hunting game, looked amazing.

saw some cool animals, lots of birds...

In the aquarium...
I always love the Ocean Park aquarium, some dope specimens.

Huge spider crabs, feed you for a week huge.


PANDAS!

well, one was nice enough to pose...

freakin cute red pandas having a 'doss'

then there was a goldfish section with the ugliest fish inside... no flash = camera dont work = no pics

Eating overpriced and sub quality food...

Taking cable cars...


and watching Jen enjoy all the stomach turning rides none of the guys cared to do.

had a little seal show, and after a few more rides we decided to tap out.

Good thing we did! as we were leaving- FLOODS of people coming into the park for the Night Tickets. Even though we didnt get to enjoy all the halloween vibes, still probably best we left when we did.

a kiff Braai-B-Q ended the night. 
Mike took us to a sweet little outta the way spot in Stanley where we braai-ed it up...

(Mike)au and the Epic Meal Times


Lazy Macau sunday with Mike Jack


Headed over to the square straight from the ferry... usually spend most of my time gambling in Macau, this time was different!


We stopped by a park that had tons of fun exercise machines (see above picture) and some pretty cool artworks...











YES!!! Gnarly Pikachu!







 This is as close to the cathedral as I usually get...
 This time was different...

picked up some 3.5HKD beer in 711... amazed!


Went over to Fernando's early to lock down a table!

ate the manliest meal...
 Sardines
 half a chicken
Drunken steak (picture is from about a year ago) got too excited when it came and devoured it before I had a chance to snap a shot...

... along with all the animal, we had salad and BREAD! (Delicious Fernando's bread!) 
 We rested for a while, digesting and looking at each other with disgust...

Found Leia in her Speeder bike outfit for a whopping $20HKD!
STOKED!


Yesterday we had a BRAII (BBQ) at the south african's part of the city...
Also, mucho meat and silent guilt after the meal...

no pictures unfortunately due to it being not well lit and my phone camera being afraid of the dark.
