♥ 11:00 AM
yes im finally back at work after a long break in hk (well 10 days is considered relatively long) haha.shopped a lot, ate a lot, met up with many of my relatives - both paternal and maternal side. and yes i experienced the excitement of going to the airport, checking in, taking the plane and taking the bus to my uncle's place all alone! in addition to that, i was desperately looking for an atm to pay my uni app fees! oh and i met jian at the airport! haha. well the weather is pretty cooling-cold the first few days - like the aircon is blowing at you 24/7. LOLS
30th: touchdown
31st: shopping alone cos everyone is at work. but 6th uncle met me during his lunch hour. i finally got my external hard disk! 320gb. my uncle is really so nice to get it for me (: cos my music and photos is occupying near all of my lappy's memory, which is making it run damn slow (thou i also think its time to change cos its a lousy free lappy passed down frm my bro, so tht makes it like 4-5 yrs old alr? yeah and i think i'll be getting one with the uni (: cant wait!). shopped at lai chi kok and i bought LOTS of clothes. wanted to buy more, bt think i gotta save some for the rest of the days. lols. there's seriously too much stuff to see and buy. i got kinda tired and restless and decided to go home. can you imagine? goodness.
1st: nora brought me ard. had steamboat for dinner.
2nd: big uncle and auntie jane brought me ard sham sui po. mum came at night! (:
3rd: nora brought us to another island to see the 'noah's ark' with the exact dimensions mentioned in the bible, but we realised it isnt open to public YET -.- so we went to the eco-park beside it. it's quite nice actually. the whole theme is like based on love, cos the owner of it is a christian, so like the whole park design and deco is very much love-based. it's really beautiful. and there were a few couples having their wedding photoshoot over there (:
4th: had lunch with both big and 6th uncle
5th: had lunch with 2nd paternal aunt, bro came at night and dinner with big aunt
6th: big and 2nd aunt brought us to macau! its a real dazzling place with all the bright and colourful lights of the casinos - they are everywhere, literally. went to a few famous ones, like the venetian and stanely ho's both new and old casino - lisboa, which are side by side just across the road. but its really really really nice, esp at night. And in the venetian mall its just a replica of the venetian city, the buildings, the river, the boat and they even painted the fake sky on the ceiling. its really cool luh, seriously. i was quite amused and amazed. haha. we also went to the very famous ruins of the St. Paul's Cathedral. Many architecture is european style and everything had portugese translation, even shop names and stuff. had portugese cuisine for dinner and bought lots of egg rolls and almond biscuit from this famous brand which has shops everywhere in macau. the egg rolls with seaweed and ba-hu is just heavenly. woohoo! haha
7th: went to make my adult HK ID. luckily my mum booked appt online if nt needa queue with all the maids eh which was pretty long. we were done in like 15-20mins? hah. then walked ard again, then met my 7th and 8th paternal uncle for lunch. mum left halfway cos she flying back sg tht night. then went to 7th uncle's hse to sit for a while and visit our lil cousins - 9 & 12. they're so cute- esp the lil boy, he has pretty pretty eyes! (: then met nora again, she brought us to the peak, it was freezing cold up there. we walked further up and it was super dark. certain parts you couldnt see anything at all, not even your hands! but the bird's eye view frm the top made all the walk and cold worthwhile (: went spaghetti hse for dinner. it was mega delicious (:
8th: lunch with both uncles. big uncle brought us to see some comp stuff and got us an 8gb thumbdrive each and a 8gb SD card. then it was off to airport back to sg. the freaking flight was like half hr delayed. wth. bt i spent my time observing the family sitting beside us. it was this family of 5 - mum, dad, 3 kids. i was amazed how they managed to bring their whole family on a vacation, esp with 3 kids. yes THREE. and they're very young kids. prolly below 7 for the 2 older ones since they're not in sch. and the other is only a toddler, prolly only 1-2 years old? cos the mum is carrying him in the seat. then the dad was sitting in the middle w his other 2 sons beside him on the left lane of seats. so the mum was feeding the milk bottle, after which the toddler slept. bt he wld wake up and cry every now and then cos he cant find a comfy position to slp in. then the mum wld carry him and walk a bit to pat him to slp. if not the dad will make some more milk to feed the baby to slp. can see tht the mum is real tired cos she also cant slp with her baby fidgeting or crying. then the dad has to ensure both his boys dont fall off while slping and turning about. and they brought 2 prams along. goodness. they're like super parents man. i seriously salute them. i wanna be like them in future. hoho.
and we waited fringging long for our luggages! cabbed home at 33 bucks. exact same cost as my mum when she cabbed home e day before! haha. home sweet home at 1+am. goodness. bt it was a really good break (:
9th: cabbed down to lido to catch 'knowing' with my bro. cos my bro has 2 free passes for SHAW and decided to watch the 1130 movie at lido when i just came out frm bathing at like 1045. i still had to change and stuff, so theres no way we can gt there by 1130. bt when we got there, they said 'knowing' has no free passes. i was like wth. bt in the end we still bought tic to watch 'knowing'. goodness la, waste our cab money and movie money cos it was $8 cos we didnt know it just premiers tht day. so okay. brrrr. graphics were good bt it wasnt really worth watching i guess, cos at the end of the movie, you dont know whts it abt, you dont know whts it trying to say, you dont get the msg the movie is trying to bring across (or maybe there wasnt even any agenda in the first place) then went tuition. thks tiffy for taking over me the past 3 lessons when i wasnt ard. yes my tutee is a naughty cheeky lil kid. lols.
10th: good friday! missed the combined service cos i had to look after lil devils - abt 20 of them, most frm eng con. they're really cute, bt they can gt super noisy and naughty. rawr! i love kids (: went cathay to meet 4h for lunch at astons. yes its relatively cheap and the food isnt too bad, so you can say tht its quite worth it. then starbucks, talked a lot, laughed a lot. it was meant to be a farewell for apr enlist, bt apparently ppl pangseh-ed, ended up only jt was there. anw jiateng i wish you all the best and take care in green camp okay! and we'll meet up when you're out ya! dont worry you'll survive! (: gna miss jt man. our bff, our dance and outing buddy. awww.
then went upstairs for guitar heroes! woohoo! its mega fun (: someone shld just invest in one then we can all play tgt. hoho! then went timbre with simin and tiffy. i thought it was at clarke quay, we walked clarke quay to and fro for like 3 times before we realise its actually at boat quay, further down the river on the other side. goodness! we spent like 1 hr looking for it. oops okay MY bad. its actually MY fault cos I thought it was there. bt alas we still made it there. we gt indoor seats, after which we managed to get the ones outside to hear the live band. woots! its pretty cool aye. my drink was nt too bad. mango sunrise! and shared a pizza (: we shld ask more ppl there nxt time! its a good place to chill and talk with good music. simply nice ambience la (: managed to catch 14 to clem. cabbed home frm the flyover and the meter jumped once only, bt thts still 4.50 -.- lols. cos its too quiet to walk across the flyover. nxt time i want someone to send me home. heh.
11th: went for street E for the very first time (yes cos think i missed the previous one) yes i was scared, nt exactly scared la, more of dno wht to say, how to approach ppl and how to say it and stuff. yup so it was a gd exp (:
