On a pleasantly sunny day we had Gloria's birthday lunch.
I'd gotten there about three hours early, intending to get a haircut, only to find that I had an hour to kill before they opened shop. So I decided to go for a stroll down the unusually quiet streets of Northbridge. There's something serene about watching shops opening up in the morning. For some reason I am comforted at the sight of people going through the motions of starting their daily routine. I especially like watching it in Hong Kong. Every morning after a shower I would sit, looking down and out from the hotel window. I think it was nice to savour the short quiet moments before the streets became quickly bloated with congestion. Anyway, the old lady in me digresses. I ended up meandering through James Street for a good fifteen minutes before heading back to my car to wait out the remaining 45, after bumping into some odd characters. The lunch turned out to be lovely, or at least the company was :)
