go back
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
Woohoo, I am back from Hong Kong. It was a pretty short 4day 3 night trip, but I thought it was really pretty good. Contary to what many thing, I think the best thing is to go with your best friend, who can accomodate you and do things together, without complaining or holding you back. Alot of time its not where you go, its who you are with. Having the wrong company for a holiday trip can be the worst thing in life. Ask Sharrel, she knows. Aaha.

This trip made me learn many things. Besides the usual eating and shopping in Hong Kong, I really saw a different side to it. I went up the peak, took photos with 'Aaron kwok, Andy Lau, etc..." Famous people around the world in the wax museum. I even took wacky photos wearing the Marily Monroe dress with the famous pose on the blowing sewer. Haha also took a picture of me impersonating a Sumo kit. I finally know how tough it was on Andy Lau to flim "shou sheng nan nu", wearing the "fat suit". Hot and heavy.

I also went to Lautau island and visit Giant Buddha. I took back some scriptures. Haha like go journey to the west like that. THe mountain there, the view is so great. Even better than the peak. Dinoe the nature view of Hong Kong can be so great! I guess this is a side of Hong Kong many wont know. Its not just abut shopping and eating.

Though not bout eating, I still have to mention the food there. AHah. Din really try much, except the wantan noodles, roast goose, their toast bread breakfast and dimsum. Love their milk tea! The food may be slightly be more expensive than Singapore but the standard is much higher so I guess its worth it after all. Also if you look around you do get bargain buys like I ate a wonderful dim sum breakfast at a restaurant at only 10 sing per person. Eat until I am so full. Also I notice Seven Eleven is everywhere. Every 2 street there is one, also there is a Kmart to rival it. Zhi Hai also notice like every 15mins, an ambulance passes by the road. Wonder if crime rate is so high in Hong Kong or people are very careless there.

Last but not least is Disneyland. Its not really that big and those who been to Tokyo or US Disney would most probably be dissapointed. BUt to me, it fulfill my dream of visiting one, just because its not that expensive. But having a preview of how wonderful Disney can be I will really make it a point to go there, US and Japan I mean. The rides arent great, but the shows are fantastic. Bought small soveniers for my colleagues, friends and family.

I guess thats all for now. Lucky tomorrow on leave. So tired...

My first blog entry in office. 3 things to say:

1. Life is too short to worry about work. Why do I still look so grumpy after work?

2. I helped a pregnant lady pick up her things in MRT, bumped my head, never received a word of thanks or a simple nod. As if it was all obligation.

3. I forgot what I wana write. Short term memory lost. Oh gosh. Work has simply taken my life away.

As the world Cup continues, I am betitng more and more. Not alot of money(I have learned my lesson), but the feeling this time is better. Playing small allows you to think more logically, it dun adds pressure on you. Hahah an advice to all puntters out there, play small play smart.

Super happy my Argentina trashed SM 6-0 last night, looks like they are on a roll! my miracle might come thru for them this world cup!

Read my firends blog, seem to complain her trip to Taiwan coz she went with her boyfren's sister as well. Gosh might be kind of sian with a lightbulb everywhere. Think she din really enjoy the trip as well. Hope my Hong kong trip will be great. Going with my best friend leh, haha. Planned wonderful places to go le, and it seems Hong Kong is not really a place just to shop shop and shop like others say. I guess the only thing that is going to spoil our mood is the weather. My Hong Kong custodian says its the monsoon season now. Can god dun make it rain for the 4 days I am there? Please...

Yesterday went to Jiahui's grandfather wake. Think she was prepared for this and she wasnt too upset already by the time I reach there. But was quite traumatising as I have to meet her whole family tree and people was like asking how old I am and where I work, how many brother sister I have and such. AHaha just like the movies. But they are only joking I am sure. It was nice as they are warm people. Oh when I say faimily tree I meant it. I think I met more than 20 people yesterday. What a day.

Today is Saturday. Time to enjoy, coz my pay day is here!

Haha world cup is here and I din really cath the excitement and fever this time round. I din lay big bets and the only bet so far was a 10 dollar bet on my favourite team Argentina for the winner of the whole championship. Not really possible, but well you never know. A high payout and a dream come true for my team, its worth it. Keeping my fingers cross.

Work recently aint that nice, people around me losing morale, no motivation and simple hard to spur on. Hope this is just a temporary thing, hope my spirits can lift up. but got a headache corporate action around the corner, the weather will look gloomy ahead! ?Better get ready my umbrella.
