This pair of beauty just arrived yesterday...So excited over them!

Arghh...so nice!

Also, not to miss out..another of my darling

Went to my darling's show on Sat night, it was quite a disappointment..First all the people were like taller than me and they still have to stand up...Then think 80% of the time i could not even see her.
Then, i walked too slow to shake hands with her..but seriously the crowd was crazy..think crazy was an understandment...didnt want to be crushed by them..Anyway here go the photos

I loVE YOU! even though i like twins too! haha

Day 5

We moved from TST to CWB today and our luggage was already fully packed and heavy hence we took a cab hee hee. Next hotel is CWB Cosmopolitan Hotel!

Picture of the toilet of Regal Kowloon Hotel before we left, I want to stay there again!

This is "Kai Dan Zai" which means "Egg Cake", it was not very nice though

Since we were at CWB, we headed for our long awaited Yee Shun Dairy Milk Co & have our toast and milk!

Cute shop selling the different bus models over the years

The whole building is around 8 storeys hence the escalators are super long

Next we proceed to Grand Century Plaza

The escalators have lights that change colours! Haha

Actually we went there to buy egg tarts which are really nice and to laze at Pacific Cafe, they even have PSP and games for people to play

Contemplating to eat fairwood once again

We saw this guy protesting against the police on our way back & being the kaypo me, i stayed there for quite long until my sis pulled me away

Train Time!

Look like our MRT right?

BUT!!

They have this signboard which tells you which station you are approaching and to exit from which side!!!!!!!

They even have this to help ease your load and walk faster

Finally, we went to buy more of these before going back to the hotel

Day 2

After a comfortable night spent in the super big bedroom and ever so soft bed in Regal Kowloon, we finally woke up at 10 + and set off for our second day with a MAP that is. It was a really long walk to the MTR station and to think that we were actually walking around in circles the day before.

Anyway, we had our brunch at Cafe De Coral which is something like the Fairwood which we had here in Singapore many years ago. So u order at a counter and collect your food at another counter. And they have different meals at different times of the day! tt includes tea time! Well, we had spaghetti cos the rest looks too filling and we don't usually eat alot for breakfast or at least for me. The set is completed with the abit bitter and super thick milk tea! (a must try for those visiting HK) The aunites working there were super nice, unlike the grouchy aunties working here. And they tried to chat with u abit like why we ate so little and couldnt finish such a small meal. Really admire them cos they treat their work so seriously and they are so willing to work hard, unlike some of us who are so taking things for granted.

Me at Cafe De Coral for my breakfast!

Yummy Spaghetti with Milk Tea

We headed for Esprit before Habour City since we didnt get to shop after having the horrendous meal. Ransacked the 2 story high factory outlet and bought about $200 worth of tees, shirts and skirt for ourselves as well as others. Seriously they should consider changing the material of their plastic bags cos they are so painful and cut your hand especially when you bought a lot of things and they are very heavy! My hand was almost disfigured from the carrying of the leavy load we bought. We stopped by DFS along the way and bought my Ray Ban shades like finally! Although i had wanted a white frame but since its kinda cheap so why not right, and i look nice in it! ha. My sis bought a Polo Ralph shirt cos the girl was too nice and she found it hard to reject her. But she likes the shirt too la so not that bad. Unlike in Singapore where only LV or those high end boutiques have people opening the doors for you, HK has it even at DFS and other major shopping malls! Not that i dun have hands to oepn them myself but.....its quite sweet right. U feel special! heh

New LV store in progress outside DFS

So the shopping continued at Harbour City. We continued to splurge like no other peoples' buisness for the following few hours but absolutely have no recollection of what we bought. I remembered walking into silvercord shopping centre and bought my X-large Tee!! wanted the burger one at first since i saw it on MILK & TOUCH but it was out of stock. Thinking that it would be probably out of stock forever, i just bought the Big marshmellow man in ghost buster. it comes in a super big box and i had to carry this super big paper bag all around. Just remembered what my sister bought! she bought a porter bag! the girl was super nice and i must really give credit to the salespeople in HK. once u expressed your dislike for certain things, they do not just walk away. in fact they will try to introduce other things to u. Even if i had no intention of buying something, the service would probably just burn my wallet, simply because they are too sweet to be turned away! Took a break from all the shopping at Fusion, Singapore Bugis has one too if i am not wrong and we chose the cushion seats!! Super comfy!!!

Car exhibition (BMW)

Wo Ho!

Little break from all the walking (Rose tea &Garlic Bread)

Peach & Lavender Juice

Poor hand

For dinner, we went Tang Dynasty. Do not be deceived by this another shop which sells desserts which is located at the previous Tang location. i almost walked in, luckily i decided to take a look by walking further down. We were not really hungry and since we decided to take maggie mee, we ordered rice noodles with prawns, rice noodles with you tiao and desserts! i had my tofu pudding with almond cream and my sis had walnut paste. The walnut paste is super thick and i think it tasted nicer than mine although i think both were nice. Cos tofu pudding is abit bland and did not really go wel with the almond cream. But the walnut was really goood, just that it was too sweet.

After dinner, we went 7 - eleven and shopped for our cup noodles and the rose green tea which was very nice!! And we didnt ask for forks for the cup noodles since we (my sis i mean) thought that there would be one inside the cup. Luckily we had our hotel tea spoon...

Xlarge Tee

Things bought

Night scenery in HK is really really nice!

Day 1

We were at the airport pretty early and I was really excited over my trip back to HK after one year!! (how could i have waited for so long, gosh) Then we went through the normal procedure and went for breakfast at MAC! Then we decided to have some tea session at coffee bean before i realised that we had to get into the bloody plane 50 mins before the flight. And there i was, with my caramel latte in one hand and walking fast paced to the gate. And obviously, no drinks would be allowed in the check in and my bloody sister did not want to take my latte home and insisted that i try my luck and carry it in. Just whats wrong with bringing m saliva filled latte home! Oh, and when we were already ina rush, there she was, looking for her phone once again. To note, she has lost thousands of her belongings for millions of times. Luckily, the guy picked up and she got her phone back. u will have to really thank god for that.

My super act cute sis sent us to the airport

Well, so we boarded the plane and the whole journey was just me being dizzy cum tummy ache and nauseous so nothing much to talk about. I didnt even manage to finish my meal which looks pretty appetitizing to me. Now im craving for it. =( Ok, so theres really a difference between a budget airline and SIA! they have free newspaper and hot towel to refresh yourself once you board the plane. Seriously, i shall just stick to big airline from now on, except qantas & british airway. Y? simply cos they are SUPER racist. PERIOD. ok, i managed to catch The Pursuit of Happiness on the plane, a show which i had been wanting to watch but obviously did not have the time to do so. The movie was inspiring man. Great movie, a must for those who did not catch it!!! Im always amazed at how within a few hours, you can step into another country with a total different culture and language. Simply amazing and all it takes is an air ticket. Its like u r so near yet so far. Not sure if u all get what i mean but i get over-excited just thinking about this. Heh finally we reached HK and gosh, u should really congrats them on getting first ranking for their airport. They have the airport express train which brings u to big areas of the country like HK island and Kowloon and after you get off the train, the luggage trolleys are standing in line waiting to be used by u, such that u dun even have to search around for one. (maybe they are just trying to create jobs but stiill..its superb!) Then, thats not all! we get free bus rides to hotels which are registered with them. (of cos those reputable ones la) and the great thing is u dun have to pay a bloddy cent! heh. cool right. Singapore should seriously consider this point so that we can get back to the first ranking and not just thinking about how to make money all the while. Think far singapore! although i still prefer the efficient and ever spotless Singapore airport. Hk airport looks abit dirty and the queue is simply too long .

Sia, here I come!

Ta da, lunch time!

The Super excited Me

Finally, we have reached!

Even more excited!

Picking up luggage

HK Airport

The airport that Twins always appear!

Airport Express Train

Inside the train

Finally we landed ourselves in Regal Kowloon Hotel. Super nice as we got a free upgrade to the deluxe room and i did get my small little sea view. THats not all. My room has a SOFA!!! thats what im excited about and the bed is like marshmellow. So soft that it leaves my body mark after i rest on it. I was lazying around before my ever-think-shes-so-clever sis beckoned me to go out and find food! (like what else can she think of) so ileft my hotel unwillingly and the clever her forgot to bring the map out. So we ended up walking in circles while looking for Harbour city Shopping Centre. Finally we found it!! at 8+, then we had dinner at what i thought was not a bad restaurant since it has a sea view and we were pretty tired. No i didnt get the seaview but thought we would just try. God knows why i stepped into this restaurant. The Chinese Bi*** refused to acknowledge us right from the start and thought that this fillipino who brought us in was quite nice so we sat down. And to my horror, my plain water (dun need to be cooked, dun need to be squeezed, just mere pouring only) came after asking for it for a few times. And adding to my horror which soon turned into disgust, my food was still not served after 40 mins!!! and everytime i asked, they would just coax me with a "its coming, madam, just few more mins" Like real, and when i finally blew my top cos its simply not taking only a few mins, i threatened them with a " if its not coming then im going off" then my food was finally served. Well well, people would think that since it took so long, the food must be damn nice so that it was worth the wait right? I beg your pardon, the steak was over grilled and my sis's fish tasted even more horrible than my mum's normal big, black fish. (she claimed la) And mind u, the whole meal was 432, which is 80+ in SGD for 2 ppl. Our hearts were aching after the meal and we decided to eat maggie mee the next day but i think we ended up eating much more things. Anyway, when we, sorry, I was paying, i deliberately made a comment saying that the beef is over cooked and again, she tried to coax us with ice cream and cheese cake. Like im impressed but why not right! make my money more worth while. Never ever go to that restaurant if u r in HK! its a black shop if is in singapore. then we proceeded back to hotel and had curry fishballs sold by the street hawker auntie who is camera shy i assumed. I prefer the uncle's one which i ate last year. What a first day right. But Im happy thinking over it. *smile*

Our Super Big Room, Comfortable too!

The night scene is superb, everywhere!

Harbour so of cos that was a ship!

Nice scenery at night

Just ignore that pimple, pls!

Voted as the "best" restaurant by me

Don't be fooled by its appearance

Wait for the Day 2!

I think i left my heart in Hong Kong cos I am feeling so dead and grumpy after coming back. I miss the place so damn much that I feel like I am on a tour here instead of feeling that Singapore is my home. And i simply melt under the sorching sun. I miss walking on the streets late at night where there are still lots of people who behave like they do not need to work the next day. I like walking around without having to sweat abit. I miss the food, the variou types of desserts and dim sum that I cant even have enough during my 9 days stay. I like how fluent the cantonese was spoken by the people around me and it actually sounds nice if the person speaks really gently and slowly. I like how close I am to Twins and in fact breathing in the same air as them no matter how loser this may sound. I miss the SHOPPING and how people can just wear sneakers and jeans to work without looking sloppy at all.

I miss u, HK!

2007-04-17T17:56:00.000-07:00

I think work really drains all the energy off someone. U become more bad-tempered and gets frustrated more easily because all the anger and irritation encountered from work pents up inside you. Although i'm not working my ass off unlike some of my poor friends and that my frustration rarely comes from work, i still lose my temper more easily now. I attribute it to the SUPER long & tiring journey to and fro work. And the endless tuitions which im having. Every morning i wake up, finding an excuse to skip work but being the responsible girl, i manage to drag myself there, doesnt matter how much i dread it. SO looking forward to my HK trip!!!! 9 more days to go!! Hang in there!

Met up with SS and Zhong on friday and i guess zhong is smiling more that day! probably she has finally realised what she wants and im really glad she is not frowning and looking so troubled all the time now. Everyone seems to be quitting nowadays. Chermin just tendered and I have 3 others who are "quitting" soon. Maybe its my turn soon haha. Just wish my uncles will get of my back, i think im someone who knows clearly what i want and there isnt anyone else who knows it more than me. I mean will i not want the best for myself? Stop repeating the questions over and over again whenever we meet up, no wonder enjie has stopped turning up.

Digressing abit, i think marriage is a very special & sacred thing and not rushed into just cos u have a kid or just on a moment of impulse. of cos im not saying that ALL those who have a divorce are not treating marriage seriously. i agree that when things are like really beyond repair then theres no point in holding onto any faith or whatever you believe or used to believe in because deep down inside u r so suffering and imagine living in pain everyday. then this is the time to end. i absoultely do not believe in seeking comfort in others when u r already married, in other word, having an affair. u might argue that its cos i have not been in this kinda situation before so i wun know how it feels to lose control over something which u know its wrong right from the start. i beg to differ. its just an act of irresponsibility. This is why i have no trust in marriage and if u really love that someone, u do not need a wedding ring around the finger or a wedding certificate to constantly remember that u r married. simply because u remember that person in your heart every minute and every second if u really love her, isnt it.

As my computer has been spoilt for almost a month and the company's computer has been attacked by millions of viruses, I have not had the chance to update my blog lately. Anyway, shall just let pics do all the talking!

Think CNY passed kinda fast, i was all ready to get into the festive mood then i realise its gone. Kinda hate the fact that the festive seasons are all cramped together in December, January and February as this means that theres totally nothing to look forward to for the rest of the year. =(
Nonetheless, I learnt Mahjong (like finally!) this yr! Thanks to the ever patient Cousin Xian and Da Yi!

Went KTV with my cousin Wanling and met Piggy Xian after his school with my sisters. And we had a nice lunch at coffee club! The feeling was kinda warm cos we hardly go out tog with our cousins except for Piggy Xian as the age gap with the rest is kinda great.

&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;href="&lt;ahref="http://www.myphotoalbum.com"&gt;myphotoalbum/'&gt;http://www.myphotoalbum.com"&gt;MyPhotoAlbum free photo and video sharing

Nike Air Force Exhibition was in town a few months back and i forced my sister to go with me. Actually it was abit of a disappointment as i thought the place was gonna be damn big and cool. Its still cool but alot emptier than what the pictures show.

What the hell, i typed so much for the first post and when I published it, nothing appeared!!!

Yesterday was International Women's Day and heres a Happy Belated Women's Day to all the ladies in the world! Was kinda pleased with the effort to appreciate females in Singapore, oh well at least SBS and the new pad company who offered free SBS bus rides and give out free pads to all the ladies at Tampines Interchange. I was trying to avoid one of the "angels" giving out them but she spotted me and handed the pads with a big smile on her face, not forgetting to wish me HWD. Free pads!!! Just in case u were wondering whats so amazing about free pads, well mainly because we have to use them every month and they are so expensive now?? Thats not all, i managed to get free rides from the courtesy of SBS bus no 293 (cos i was going for tuition and definitely cos i was a cheapo like my sister) so nice! Although this thing started last year i think, rem my sis was complaining on how she missed the free rides. Ha. N she managed to take it this yr although 293 goes a round before reaching my house as its the last stop. I would have just taken 72 seriously.

Ok, before i go on about my FREE pads and rides once more, I have been spending a huge amount of money lately. Well cos i bought a new phone like finally! And as i didnt think that i was going to buy a phone soon, i bought this pair of Lee jeans. Arrr, now im gonna survive on bread for the rest of the month. trying to save up for my Hk trip in may. So excited!!! Maybe ill get to see Twins while shopping. Ha, Ah Sa im coming! Anyway, was talking about my phone. The battery drains away kinda fast so i was merely checking with my sis if hers drains away so fast and she started screaming on how paranoid i am over all the little stuffs that i buy. *tsk* maybe cos i overcharged it for the first time, u know how u r supposed to charge new things for 8 hrs and i tried to do the same w/o looking thru the guide. And when i looked thru it yest, it said only 2.5 hrs or until the battery is full. What up...hopefully it gets better as the days pass by *pray*

Eyeing this pair of polka dots nike woven which is like finally in my size..but then it will cost a bomb and this means that ill be broke. *sigh* Time to look for a high paying job!!!!
