Our first trip =)

We've known each other for so long. Can't believe it's only our first trip together. I think the spontaneous decision to go HongKong this winter was a good call. I love 16deg weather without the chapped lips. Can I say Hong Kong is so much more amazing in winter than in summer?! Cos it's so enjoyable to walk around the city without having to sweat at all! It's also quite romantic to see couples kissing each other goodbye at the train stations during the winter season. =)

Lynnette, Merry, Clarice and I were sharing a 2 person hotel room. Felt like a slumber party! And watching Gossip Girls on TVB J2 channel dubbed in canto was pretty amusing for sure.

we even visited HK Polytechnic University =D

Bricks everywhere.Even the lift flooring seemed like it was tiled with bricks. They have a nice courtyard space outside the library too.

Thanks clare for the very much posed pic! ;)

I miss!

Before it rots...

Thought I should post something before this blog rots..

Went to my cousin's dance recital today. He was awarded with two of the

four prizes given out for the night.

Awesome!so proud of him. oh. and as dancers like it, DOPE!

Definitely saw some awesome shoes as my eyes scanned across the reception

area. Apparently, 250 of 500 students were auditioned for this performance.
My guess is that I was watching the performance amongst the 200+ left of

the students in the audience. Which explains the overwhelming enthusiasm in the

hall. heh heh. Time to feel old and out of place again.

newfound respect for b-boys and poppers. ok . not really. It's not new.

I just want be able to do those stunning moves. It could be quite satisfying for

my ego I think.

So sick!

Shades of your usual

MAD.

Curry Puff day

We went back to my ah gong's house today for tea. All my aunties and uncles had gathered there

earlier to learn how to make his special curry puff. It was really fun watching them steal the

his 'secret receipe'. haha.. I was excused from helping out cos I'm coughing quite a lot these days.

Not so nice if I had coughed into the dough. kekeke..

I wished I had brought my camera. I saw the funniest looking curry puffs today. It was amusing!!

My little cousin made some really ugly ones too.. lol

Initially, I was quite unwilling to go for the tea (yea, thesis), but after Ruth kept insisting, Xinzi and I just

went along. My da jie really knows how to persist (and act cute). haha.. I'm really glad I went in the end.

=D

It almost always happen like this. I have this huge inertia to stay at home with the hope of completing

my work for the day, unwilling to go for family gatherings sometimes (as much as I really enjoy them),

thinking that I could do with more time at home. But while I'm there with the rest of the family, I always

have a good time. At the end of the day, it's all worth the time.

This pattern is very similar to how I seldom hang out now. My dear friends, I'm really sorry for not

coming out as often as I would like to. Especially those whom I've turned to when I'm stressed and

depressed. I don't think you have any idea how much your cheering on means to me. I hope when I see

you next time, you won't tell me to go consult my archi books instead.

peace.
