Ok sorry another 'buying time, please' post. Things have gotten a little hectic since I went over to the multimedia side :/

Anyway.

It has officially really started to get colder in HK.

Ahh, autumn has finally decided to arrive with its expected slashing of temperatures and his personal stash of wind.

Peter and I were constantly walking and moving to keep warm (me: 3/4 sleeved tshirt, jacket, jeans and a scarf. Peter: tshirt, shirt, vest, jacket) on our way back to hostel.


Temperature is currently at about 16 degrees, but with the wind, it really feels like it's much lower.


Lowest temperature to be expected to next few days are ranging between 14 to 16 degrees. How exciting is that.

Oh and guess what, I'm helping to film a book-signing interview tomorrow. With who?

Sir Roger Moore. Dad and mom! ;)

By the way, sorry about the lack of posts. It really has gotten more busy since the switch from the usual online news production to the new multimedia section. While the workload and all that is very different from the previous. This has its fun moments (on interviews out of office! some celebrity interviews) and its slow movements.

Oh and I have also helped to do some audio recording/editing for the newspaper's online audio news summary: SCMP Today. No mixing of the whole podcast yet but might have to do more of the recordings since the whole team is boys, they want to "milk" my stint here to have some voice variety.

Well, here's one clip for the kaypoh ones :) I'm warning you guys that it's NEWS ok, so it's not that fancy-pancy interesting. Though the last part: Mandarin Minute is cute - an 'angmo' learning how to say Mandarin words and sentences. Pay attention to how the 'tutor' says he's right when it just sounds so different from what she said!
