    To digress here. On TVB at the hight of the salt frenzy, a man was asked why he was in the queue and he said exactly the same thing. He didn't know why but thought he would be missing out.

    When you bring tempo packets with you for lunch and spend the entire time on your iPhone/galaxy instead of chatting with your coworkers. Only to pause to take a photo of your meal to upload on Facebook or instagram...

    You have your kids enrolled in more than 4 after school classes: (My 5 year old is in 5 things and my 3 year old is in 3)

    Your five year old has more certificate than you, and you're in your 40s!

    Your favorite restaurant is Japanese.
    You gossip about who's relation is how with whom.
    Your everyday topic is what's on today's news.
    You know the names of less famous local celebrities.
    You start to follow Hong Kong politics.
    You have a habit of eating out..... at 12am.
    You start looking for Brits in HK rather than getting away from them.
    Li Ka Shing becomes part of your conversation topic.
