May12

Continuing from where I left off from Day 1, where it’s just about exploring Mong Kok and Tsim Tsa Tsui, the second day starts off with travelling all the way to Tung Chung primarily for Lantau Island via Ngong Ping 360.

self portrait

I was so tired from the previous day that I literally dragged myself out of bed to get ready, thankfully the morning weather in Hong Kong is very refreshing so travelling was much better, the cooling breeze really woke me up. I was also glad I brought an extra pair of shoes for travelling because my Malindi Crocs are dying on me. The soles are totally gone, and somehow wearing it for too long makes my feet ache. I love my Puma’s better now, screw you Crocs hehehe.

We had a simple healthy breakfast down Nathan street, just fish congee with some yau char kway. A bowl of simple fish congee isn’t cheap though, it costs 16 HKD per bowl and the yau char kway costs 4 HKD each. But that’s Hong Kong, the price might be higher but the portion is bigger too so you’re getting what your money’s worth.

Getting to Tung Chung isn’t hard at all, just consult the MTR system map and you’ll be fine as it’s all over the MTR stations with tourist attractions highlighted on it too. So if you’re clueless as to where to go, the tourist attraction feature would definitely be a good recommendation. From Mong Kok which is in the Tsuen Wan line which is in red, go all the way to Lai King and then interchange to the Tung Chung line which is in orange, go all the way till the Tung Chung stop and voila you’re there. Morning’s are usually busy in MTR stations so travel at your own discretion.

Once you’re in Tung Chung, there are several signs around directing you to the Ngong Ping 360 cable cars, or the Citygate Outlets Mall. I will talk about Citygate Outlets Mall in a bit, so from the Tung Chung stop, just follow the signs and you will eventually reach Ngong Ping 360.

Ngong Ping 360

Since I was there during the Labor holidays, the crowd there was ridiculous. Well the packages for the cable car rides varies, we took the Ngong Ping Cable Car Experience package which costs 142 HKD per person, whereby we would go on the normal cable car once and the Crystal Cabin once. During the purchase of the tickets, you are required to decide whether to ride up using the standard cable car or crystal cabin.

Ngong Ping 360

We took an hour to get to the ticket counter, and another 30 minutes or so to get to the boarding gates of the cable cars. Seriously, if I wasn’t on a holiday mood  I’d be really stressed and frustrated but since it’s a holiday let’s all just relax, have fun and be merry.

I’ve been on quite some cable cars so this one is just blehhhh but it’s definitely better than Langkawi’s because it’s bigger and much more comfortable. The weather might be cooling but it’s so damn cloudy and hazy, very bad for photography. Evidence will be shown in upcoming photos, plus the windows of the cable cars are dirty too. And as we got higher it gets hotter too as it is nearing noon.

Because of the H1N1 outbreak in Hong Kong, the cable car authorities made it a point to clean and wipe the cable car every time a group exits their ride. Several sterilizing liquid and sprays are used, so you’re guaranteed a clean ride.

Ngong Ping 360

The ride took about 20 minutes or so, which provided ample time for you to enjoy the view around. In my case, the view is good but would be better if it’s less dusty. The cooling wind blowing into the ventilation pocket of the cable car was awesome, very nice and refreshing.

aerial view of HKIA

Overlook of HKIA, couldn’t get a proper shot because of the hazyness and also the dirty windows.

Lantau Island

Just when you thought that the crowd is only at the bottom, wait till you go up. Once you reach the top of the cable car station, you will enter into a Chinese cultural village which is called the Ngong Ping village that consists of souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants. There’s even Starbucks too, but for 41 HKD for an ice blended drink, I’d prefer to keep my money in my pocket.

Lantau Island, Buddha

The main attraction of Lantau Island is the Giant Bronze Buddha, and we have to climb 268 freakin’ steps to get to the Buddha. Seriously, 268 steps is fine but under the hot noon sun, it can make you stress to digress.

So I whipped out my umbrella, and while Hugo was snapping around I also had to carry his damn tripod. And while he basks under the hot sun, I shared my umbrella with him like some sort of assistant holding the umbrella shading him, sigh the things I do.

Don’t get me wrong, the cooling breeze has always been there but when you’re up this high, the sun’s heat definitely kills the cooling breeze, especially when you are walking 268 steps up and all around.

Lantau Island, Buddha

Another typical touristy picture. I’m quite happy to visit Lantau Island actually, I’ve seen this place enough in movies and series but to be here is quite an experience. Although I didn’t enjoy the crowd accompanying me here, I’ve never been a fan of crowds, the sea of people gives me a whiplash.

porter duties; carry tripod, carry umbrella, change lens -.-"

This is the best place to sit ever, it’s at the top of the steps and further up the platform after another series of stairs. The stone floor was ice cold and I even bought myself a 12 HKD bottle of 500ml Minute Maid to enjoy the moment. Syokness.

But as usual, whenever we stop to rest Hugo would always do all sorts of camera setting changes, hence the porter comes into the picture.

Lantau Island

This was before we adjourned down the 268 steps, this set of stairs is reserved for special purposes, probably feng shui ? Funny thing to see that both of us were standing on top and people were doing there prayers and kao tows, as if they’re praying to us.

We walked all the way back to the Ngong Ping village near the cable car station and looked at the shops around, we eventually decided on Euro Go Go, a Western Italian fast food restaurant and mainly  because I’m so enticed with their Hawaiian Pizza.

Euro Go Go Hawaiian Pizza, 60 HKD

The food there is pretty reasonable, the Hawaiian Pizza costs 60 HKD and it’s really good! The ham is very sweet and the cheese was plentiful, plus the crust was slight crunchy especially on the burnt edges. And I love any food that has pineapple in it, fried rice, curry, pizza you name it. I’d definitely go there for food again. Plus at the time I was there, it was so crowded till we had to sit by a teeny tiny table by the door, so we’re not the only one who enjoys the food.

Hugo ordered his all time favourite Carbonara and it did not disappoint. It costs 38 HKD and the pasta in Euro Go Go is served in an aluminium packet and it is indeed hot, as in smoking hot. Like just out of the pan kinda hot. Too bad no pictures were taken because the hungry fish decided to chow in before doing his blogger prayers.

After lunch, we went for a show at the Monkey’s Tale Theater in the Ngong Ping Village. Seriously, I thought what’s the hoo-haa about the show and to my dismay it was just an animated cartoon of 3 stupid monkeys who gets electrocuted whenever they want to obtain a peach from a monkey god statue. Seriously, a wasted of 36 HKD per person so be warned do not watch it, go buy yourself another pasta from Euro Go Go better.

Ngong Ping 360, Crystal Cabin

By the time we decided to head home it was already late noon, and most of the crowds have already left the top therefore waiting for the cable car down was just a moment. We decided to go on the Crystal Cabin on our way down as the queue to ride it up was freakin’ long therefore we diminished the idea.

The Crystal Cabin got it’s name is because, as you can see from the picture of me sitting on the deck of the cable car it is made out of clear glass therefore you can see what’s below you.

Once we reached the ground, this is where I will talk about Citygate Outlets Mall as I mentioned earlier. For those who love shopping and discounts, please head to Citygate Outlets Mall. The mall is damn big so there’s no way you will miss it. As the name implies, it’s all factory outlets where by you can find brands like Nike, Adidas, The Body Shop, Sony, Laura Ashley, Puma, Samsonite selling their products at ridiculously reduced prices. I even got myself a Puma watch originally priced at 640 HKD but discounted to 480 HKD. I’ve actually been surveying about this particular watch in Malaysian stores and it’s all standardized at RM 368, so to get it at RM 240 in Hong Kong is definitely a good bargain.

We went back to our hostel to freshen up and rest before heading out for dinner. Our plan for the night was to go to the Avenue of Stars, since we were there too early before nightfall. We were walking around Nathan Road and then somehow we ended up at Pak Hoi Street and we saw an array of stalls around, better known as Dai Pai Dongs.

Without any idea of what to eat, we just sat at the nearest stall and ordered whatever the boss recommended to us with consulting about the price of course.

Dinner at Dai Pai Dong

Since the portion served to other customers were quite huge, we limited our dishes to two and chose fish and vegetable, the stalls were just like any normal hawker stalls in Malaysia, just that the Chinese Tea served is free.

Dai Pai Dong Fried Vege, terrible vege cutting skills!

This one tasted normal, although the broccoli was very chunky for my liking, it isn’t bite size. Using corn starch in vegetable dishes isn’t my liking either, this dish costs 38 HKD. Just for vegetables.

Lai Mao Fish, doesn't taste like fish -.-

The boss recommended this Lai Mao fish, and within the first bite I started squirming. The meat texture is like of sardine but with a certain muddy scent to it. Hence the name Lai Mao, which means Muddy Cat in Cantonese. Not my type of fish either, but I was too hungry to complain so anything warm and filling for dinner goes. This plate of fish was 48 HKD and grand amount for our dinner was 89 HKD. Not cheap at all for stir fry, two dishes only can.

Hong Kong Island, from Avenue of Stars

After dinner, we took the MTR from Mong Kok to Tsim Tsa Tsui and boy was it windy in Tsim Tsa Tsui. Immediately once I stepped out from the MTR station, I put on my jacket because the wind was so strong and cold! Plus the Avenue of Stars was very crowded too, since it’s a Saturday night.

One thing made me really surprised was, three months back I went to Langkawi and I saw this family of four from some European country at the Geopark and when I was sitting alone waiting in the cold for Hugo to take photos, I met the family again! I never would’ve recognized if it was only the father and son, but when I saw the mother and the little daughter with the curly sandy blonde hair and big blue eyes, I was like whoa fate is definitely real.

I recognized them, but I didn’t say anything to them, who knows I might be wrong and the cold made me lose my senses.

typical touristy picture

I waited for almost 2 hours for that guy to photograph every building across, in the cold! Wish I could’ve got myself a hot cup of Starbucks, but wallet forbids.

Hong Island view, from Avenue of Stars

Seeing the Hong Kong night view was very relaxing, the Avenue of Stars is like Penang’s Gurney Drive except that it has better view, better wind that doesn’t stink and a great person to share it with although the person would often abandon me for his camera and only consults me for test shots and the water bottle!

The symphony of lights was beautiful too, the lights of the major buildings across would flicker and dance, very nice to watch.

We went home as two very drained and tired beings, with blisters and strains. The cold wind made me a little feverish and I opted to get some fruit drinks from the nearby 7-Eleven. Day 2 was alright, we travelled quite extensively but the plan for day 3 is about twice the level of the first two days as we will cross the ocean, go up and beyond.

May9

This is probably my first time writing about a trip so I’m gonna be as detailed as I can, so here goes nothing.

Around late last year or was it early this year, Hugo who’s an avid airplane ticket promotion stalker booked two Cathay Pacific tickets for two, and luckily it was right after my finals or so it was what I think it was. When I began my semester, there were no confirmed dates as to when is my semester break and I have been bugging for 4 months and still the reply was “there is no reply from USM” so nearing the end of my semester, I was constantly bugging my school’s office for the exact dates of my break, because firstly; my semester couldn’t be like 4 freaking months long and secondly, I didn’t want to cancel my trip to sit for papers!

So yea, I was hustling all my lecturers and the admin of the Mass Comm office and thankfully, my final paper is literally a week before my departure to Hong Kong! Honestly, receiving your final examination’s schedule a week prior to your first paper is a very mean thing that your school can do to you.

Major stress mampus gila babi @_@.

Anyhow, after finally knowing the exact dates for my papers, I was relieved that my Hong Kong trip had no need to be canceled and I sat for the papers doing the best that I could and I think I’ll do okay,  but my main focus was thinking of the well deserved holiday ahead. I don’t expect any fantastic results though, it’s my first semester afterall therefore I shall take this as a learning cove.

Mr.Shit is heading to HK!

Back to Hong Kong, surprisingly I slept like a baby the night before departure, and I was very well packed for everything unlike somebody who packed like as if he’s migrating to Hong Kong. I even brought several surgical masks just in case, as the swine flu case is getting pretty serious in Hong Kong. Our departure time was 8.10 am, therefore we had to wake up even before the male chicken starts singing. We woke up at 5.30 am and had some light breakfast before heading to the airport. I even brought Mr.Shit with me!

landing in Hong Kong.

The flight to Hong Kong was about 3 hours plus and it was a pleasant flight. I’ve always loved Cathay Pacific airlines, especially 10 years back when they gave me my very own kiddy meal, I still have the cartoon lunchbox that they served food in with all the Looney Tunes cartoons. Breakfast on the plane was either Fritata with Hash Brown and Breakfast Sausage or Fried Noodles with Chicken. The movie selections was great too, there’s Twilight (which I watched for the don’t know how many times already), Seven Pounds, Discovery, E!, and many more.

Upon reaching Hong Kong, we were given arrival and departure cards to be filled in and sign, presented upon arrival and depature.  We had to sign health declaration forms too, because of the swine flu outbreak.

One thing I find very good in HK is, we didn’t have to rely on a GPS machine to guide us around, heck there’s no free Garmin HK maps either, so we stuck to the traditional paper map and in HKIA plenty of tourist friendly maps were available.

From the arrival hall to the bus stand outside HKIA, it took us about 20 minutes even with the airport express trains because HKIA is so damn huge. Getting to our destination, Dragon Hostel in Mong Kok was quite a breeze. The public transportation in HK is very very very and I shall add another very just to emphasize how efficient their system is. The roads in HK are constantly busy, and you will see more taxis compared to private cars. We didn’t have to wait long for our bus, probably about 5 minutes and we were off to Mong Kok.

Even in the bus, there were announcements as to where the next stop is and how many more minutes before the next stop. More importantly, the busses are double deckers!

We arrived at Nathan Road, consulted our maps guiding us to Argylle Road where our hostel for the next 6 days, Dragon Hostel is located. It’s located directly opposite Tung Choi (Ladies) Street, a daily pasar malam that sells a lot of stuffs from clothes to gadgets. It’s basically like Penang’s Batu Ferringhi night market, with less pirated stuffs only.

this is how BIG our room is.

Our stay in Dragon Hostel costs RM 145 per night for a double bed with a private bathroom, and the room just barely fits the furniture provided and our luggage had to be stowed under the bed otherwise there is no way to walk around, unless we step on the beds. That’s how BIG our room is. But the bed is really comfy, so much better than my own bed man.

The room might be small, but it’s fine for us because we just need an adequate space to sleep for the night. There’s also two cups provided and outside the hall of the room there’s a microwave, water dispenser, water boiler, coffee and tea packets and fridge for the usage of the guests. There’s also a phone in the room where local calls are free, so in my opinion staying here is not bad. Economically comfy and convenient. There’s also two computers with internet access in the office for guests to use, so there’s where I check my Facebook and chat for a brief while with friends while researching on places to visit.

Tsim Tsa Tsui

Hugo actually made an itinerary for our trip which made our trip much more systematic and we can manage our time to cover several areas, and our first day was  to explore Mong Kok and Tsim Tsa Tsui. The roads in Mong Kok is busy during day and night, and by night I mean till late night like 12 am onwards. Buses and taxis are everywhere, and each bus and taxi stop is walking distance in between, so to catch a ride isn’t very hard.

Mong Kok

As you walk around Mong Kok, you will see a myriad of shops ranging from goldsmiths to boutiques to electronic to banks and as you walk further you will start seeing the same shops again. Like Sasa, almost every corner there’s a Sasa, and I was like “am I at the previous road that I just passed?” Being dubbed the shopping district, you will see a lot of people in Mong Kok thronging almost every shops and there’s the sale banner being plastered everywhere. It’s like a never ending sea of people everywhere you go, especially when you’re crossing the traffic light.

When the cross light turns green, it’s as if it’s Left4Dead all over again. It’s like turn green to alert the horde, everyone just pushes and walk in every direction.

RAPTOR

I even spotted some funky car plates in Hong Kong, like this Raptor. There were more but I kinda forgot what they were.

McDonald's Grilled "BLEK" Chicken Burger

For lunch, we decided to try the Hong Kong version of McDonalds and I was very dissappointed. Firstly, there was no pork burger unlike the last time I was in HK, there was pork burger. Secondly, I ordered this Grilled Chicken Burger which is not on our Malaysian McDonald’s menu and it tasted horrible! Even Hugo’s McCrispy Chicken Burger which is McChicken by the way tasted horrible, the chicken patty was so hard and dry. The total for lunch was about 35 HKD, RM 17.50 per person.

After walking around Mong Kok for about 2 hours, we adjourned via MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui. Primarily for the Avenue of Stars. We decided to get ourselves an Octopus card each (equivalent to our Malaysian Touch N’ Go) to ease our travelling as the MTR stations are mostly jam packed with action from every direction. The deposit of an Octopus Card is 50 HKD each and we paid 150 HKD each to add more value to the card, prepaid travelling. The Octopus card is fully refundable when you are done with it, so no worries about losing out.

Tsim Tsa Tsui

Navigating the map of the MTR isn’t that bad, it’s very extensive but when you arrive at your designated stop, there will be several signs leading you to the exit of your destination so just keep an eye for the signs and you’ll be fine. Worse comes to worse, consult the tourist map given!

So far, throughout the 6 days we were never lost in Hong Kong, so the maps provided is proven sufficient! Screw you GPS!

Tsim Tsa Tsui

The weather in Hong Kong has been really good, only at certain times it can get quite hot but at most times, it was just fairly sunny with cooling breeze. Upon arriving Tsim Tsa Tsui, which is about 10 minutes via MTR from Mong Kok we took some pictures of the skyscrappers around. Hugo said it’s very Manhattan like, with all the designs of the buildings being reflective glasses and modern sleek lines.

When travelling at night, it’s advisable for those who have low tolerance for cold and strong winds to bring a jacket (like me!), because the temperature can get quite low at this time of the year, not as cold as winter but it’ll definitely make you shiver from the inside.

Beautiful Weather :)

I called myself a porter throughout this trip, because Hugo had to bring his tripod around and he would make me carry it! And he only carries his camera gear in his backpack. Otherwise for me, I carry our water bottles, our passports, tissue paper, pens and all sorts of essential things that we need throughout the trip. Even the things we bought during shopping is stuffed in my bag.

Bruce Lee at Avenue of Stars

This is one of the many stars at the Avenue of Stars, it was nothing much la, for me at least. I enjoyed the hazy view and the cool wind more. We were supposed to stay here till 8pm for the daily Symphony of Lights but we were getting low in battery so we decided to come back the following night.

Avenue of Stars

Spot the Nikon Bazooka! The weather was good but the hazy view was very bad for photography, and it never rained throughout my 6 days in Hong Kong. Except for a light drizzle on the second day, so it could get quite dusty around Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Island at the back. This is a candid shot by the way.

Look! Boat!

Very Chinese-y (Chi-Nee-Zee) Boat at the back!

Avenue of Stars

I’ll just do a little bit of the typical tourist pose la, don’t know how many people queued to pose with the bronze statues at the Avenue of Stars.

:)

Beef Noodle, 25 HKD

We head back to Mong Kok for dinner and for our first dinner in Hong Kong, we were spoilt for choices because there was so many diners everywhere. You can never go hungry in Mong Kok I tell you. We walked for about an hour before deciding on this noodle house because it’s quite packed therefore we gave it a try. The place is called Lok Yuen Noodle House and it’s located on FaYuen Street. They claim to be the Beef Ball King. Heh!

I ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle which is at 25 HKD per bowl and it tasted like bleh. The beef wasn’t tender, a little chewy and I requested for fish meat noodle instead of the normal egg noodle. The soup was alright albeit a bit too salty and the fish meat noodle was just about 3 mouthfuls. They replenish the fish meat noodles with beansprouts that looks like noodles. Hailing from Taugeland a.k.a Ipoh where the tauge is short, stubby and chubby,  compared to the beansprout in Hong Kong, the tauge in Hong Kong is surprisingly long! It’s thin and as long as a toothpick. Hugo and I thought, wow there’s two types of noodles but to found out that it was beansprouts it was quite surprising, more like potong stim because the tauge tasted bland and soggy!

Lok Yuen Noodle; fish ball, prawn and fish roll, black pepper beef ball, beef ball. 38 HKD

Hugo ordered their specialty, the Lok Yuen noodle and it too tasted like bleh. There were fish balls, beef balls, prawn and fish roll and black pepper balls. Hugo bit half of the black pepper beef ball and had me finish the other half because it was just all pepper and no beef. It tasted like any other fish ball noodle at the cost of 38 HKD.

I find food in Hong Kong very pricey compared back home, but one thing’s for sure is the portion is definitely bigger!

Ladies Street

After dinner, we spent about an hour walking around Ladies Street to look around, and the variety of things there is pretty staggering! From toys, clothes, shoes, accessories, sexy kinky lingerie, copy watches and bags, it’s a nice market to walk but beware during weekends, do not alert the horde. Oh yea, about 50 metres away from the hostel there’s a 7-Eleven, and at the entrance of the hostel gates there are food stalls, newspaper stands, convenient stores.

Hong Kong is taking the swine flu case very seriously, most elevator buttons is plastered with a clear plastic sheet and it is sanitized every hour. Even on the flight, passengers are sprayed with sterilizing sprays prior to landing. So for people who are going to Hong Kong, take care of your hygiene and health. Make sure you have your antibiotics and vitamin C ready. You wouldn’t wanna be quarantined upon arrival and departure right.

That’s all for day 1 in Hong Kong and I know it’s a freaking long post, it took me more than 3 hours to write this so please mind my grandmother stories yea. Next up is day 2 in Hong Kong and it starts high up in the sky!

It sure does feel good to have a well deserved break. Honestly, at the end of my semester, all I focused on was to try my best for exams and the break after. Indeed, having a holiday does feel good. There’s more me time, family time and boyfriend time.

img_7326

Lim Ah Meow and Jamie now have a stay at home mum too, as they’d be abandoned throughout the day as I was busy with classes and meetings. And Jamie is seriously making me grin with happiness, he’s the fattest cat I ever had weighing in at 7 pounds, and he’s still a young cat about 5-6 months old. Can’t wait to see how big he’ll grow!

img_7324

Anyhow, I shall begin my holidays with a backpacking trip with Hugo to Hong Kong starting tomorrow, no tourguide, no big group holiday, just maps and our own common sense, we’ll see how it goes. We’ll be covering places like Macau, Disneyland, and all sorts of touristy places that Hong Kong has to over. Ironically, this is my return to Hong Kong after being there 10 years ago. I still remembered how’d Disneyland looked, it was just piles of sand and rubbles with barriers on top of the hill and I can’t wait to see how it looks like right now, although I do know it’s uncomparable with the Anaheim, Florida and Tokyo Disneyland.

So till then, happy holidays to my fellow classmates and yay I can finally catch up with my series and Breaking Dawn!

Love :)

and it’s not the reason that you think it is. It has no romantic element in any sort of way, but a lot moolah is involved.

Well if you haven’t know, the reason I was occupied and hadn’t had the chance to write was because I was operating a handmade accessories stall in college for a week. I had tons of fun doing it by the way.

I could probably say I’m the most semangat member of them all because I would wake up at 7.45 am to get ready and reach college at 8.30 am to set up. The process of convincing my team members was a little hard at first, there were doubts but I was convinced that this idea would work, and I’m happy to say it went well with extraordinary outcome. Thanks people!

I’d always wanted to operate a stall selling handmade accessories as I started doing all this sorta thing since 2006 but I would only sell it to close friends, classmates and friends because I lack the initiative of going forward since I’m a one man band. But this time, I had help so it’s a lot easier and the money we all spent at the beginning made us doubtful whether could we gain it back, but thank you my loyal customers for supporting us!

materials :)

We had quite an array of things at our stall, ranging from bracelets of various designs to handmade rings, necklaces, earrings. With materials from plastic beads, clay flowers, Swarovski crystals, stone beads, and all sorts of recycled items from our own collection.

And although it was meant to be a Valentine’s sale, it was more like a sale for all since we had all sorts of people buying from us; from office ladies buying for themselves and friends, guys buying for their girlfriends, girls buying for themselves and buying the same thing with their friends as friendship gestures, and most of them bought a few things at once, and even came back few hours later to check out new stuffs that we have.

Valentine's Sale :)

And I think our group made a good effort in servicing the customers. We explain the processes of making the things we have on the table and offer free adjusting services in case it doesn’t fit, we even recommended accessories that would match our individual customers. Basically, we would like our customers to be free to choose the designs they like. So we got them to choose the materials they wanted on their bracelet or ring or earring and we would do it for them. For a very low price actually.

The most expensive item we have in our stall was only a RM18 bracelet, the rest was not more than RM12. As I’ve said during the sale, all things are priced at student’s price as it is made by students for students.

The customers flow at our stall was pretty overwhelming also, all of us didn’t have time to go for lunch or take a short break (except for ENRIQUE TAN KIM HOCK who is constantly missing) as the customers kept coming again and again with more people. I guess people do love our affordable one of a kind accessories.

Group Photo :)

When it was time to close down for the last time and as I was counting the money we made on the last day, adding it to the money we’ve made from the previous days, I felt a little bit sad as I really enjoyed my time as a stall operator, though I’ve been neglecting my other studies and even Lim Ah Meow, who jumped off the balcony (to my horror) and she survived la, gatal.

I could see that most of my classmates had bittersweet times in closing down and tearing down their stuffs, because I can see a lot of people had fun as it was sorta like a short escape from the stress of other subjects. So now it’s back to reality, boohoo!

I wouldn’t mind operating a stall again really, who knows it’ll be my future occupation instead of communication?

November26

Other than my family, my dogs and my Babi, I have a new loveeeeee in my life!

It was hard to say bye bye to my previous 4 year old husband but he has to go! I’m still wondering is it the right decision to opt for a smartphone but so far after days of using it, I’m loving it! Although I have yet to explore the GPS and office functions of it, I love it when I can access my blog, e-mail and chat whenever there’s free wifi around! V Oh yea, I love qwerty!

My 3 day trip in KL has been less bored with this phone around, I was so occupied with the features of this phone till I completed ignored my i-Pod and the Shuffle! Maybe like what the Chinese says, “San Si Hang” or New Toilet Bowl but regardless, this phone is pretty much what I’m looking for in replacing my old one. And yes, it has a stainless steel body which is oh so damn sexy but the fingerprints is OMG annoying! Just like the I-Pod, mafan gila to keep rubbing it off. And to end all this, the phone rocks my socks!
