hk trip
3:18 PM

juz got back from my hk hols with haoz, pk and guoqing. yeh abit of a weird combi i noe. but glad it turned out fun and everyone enjoyed themselves =)

1st day: at the airport, pk and i had our first mango dessert at xu liu shan!! simply heavenly =) we had dim sum lunch then visited the turf club at shatin, saw the actual horse race itself.. so exciting!! the track was super huge la.. so huge that u cant see the starting point.. poor horses.. run like siao. and the jockeys were all MINI -sized!!! so so small and short.. they're guys can.. no wonder they can ride horses la.. if the horse take normal-sized ppl like us.. think their backs will break =P
anyway hk-ers are reli heavy betters.. bet like mad.. machiam like sit there the entire day juz to see horses race.. and then they'll pray like mad.. n hope their "number" runs in first. and of coz curse like mad.. after realizing that they have lost again.
hmm.. at nite we visited victoria peak and madam tussauds. the open-top bus and tram ride up was fun.. the view of the city lights breathtaking.. the cold winds mind blowing. heh. and then we had supper at this wanton stall near our hotel.. LOVE their wantons! big and fat fat!!=)

2nd day: ocean park!!!!!! everything's great except for the disgustingly long and never ending escalators.. that we had to take NINE times. wah. damn slow, boring and gross.. disgusting escalators. then it was stanley market. (not interesting) at nite we blew 20sgd on this very popular steamboat place called "you gu qi" = "got backbone". exp la.. but very yummilicious and unique!! they got custard crystal dumpling and charsiew dumpling to be thrown into the steamboat k. wonder how come s'pore's steamboat's so boring. =P then it was ladies street at mongkok..and we went to sing ktv at nite! (we had a very hard time locating a proper "clean" ktv that wasn't sleazy and wasnt a niteclub.) but it was fun!! had mass singing session.. reli "mass singing" as in all 4 of us screamed out one song kind. =) i noe wat u're thinking.. but no.. we didnt get chased out for noise pollution.

3rd day: Lantau island - Buddha statue ... the stupid cable car was still under maintainence testing, and so we had to ride up the mountain via bus. some pok pok bus on the pokpok road. super big headache la. hmm.. statue was juz statue lor. but we had to go see it coz we're tourist mar. =P proceeded to da ou after that. da ou's a fishing village.. quiet peaceful simple place.. =) hmm at nite was lan kwai fong (their pub area) and shopping and more eating and dessert-ing at tsim sha tsui.

4th day: MACAU ------ woah.. we actually toured Macau by FOOT!! somebody applause pls. so mad la. walked and walked and walked. and wat's most ridiculous was tt we walked for 2+ hrs juz to find our portugese food!!! finally found and got to eat it of coz =) exp but scrumpilicious. so worth the long walk =) visited ruins of st pauls.. oh.. and this macau trip made us super broke.. 70+sgd for ferry can. so broke were we that we could only WINDOW shop for the rest of the nite =P it's reli no fun being a poor-shit tourist.

5th day: our last day!! it was rest-and-relax all the way.. heh.. pk and i ate all the red bean stuff that we could (ya.. we haf an unexplainable weird addiction to all things red bean).. the reli nice sandwiches at cha-can-tings and desserts of coz =) oh.. we SAW the fa-lun-gong rally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they were like having a peaceful demonstration against the chinese govt on the streets la.. soooooooo eye-opening.

yup.. hk trip was all eating and walking and feeling broke. and now i haf a disgusting sore throat=( muz thank gq for being our camera man, haoz for being our bag-carrier, handyman, canto translator and map reader, and pk for her great company! had a reli enjoyable time with u all =) hugz

p/s: no photos yet coz gotta wait for gq to upload =)

btw.. last day of 2007 today.. suddenly feel reli reli old =P

know that worrying is pointless.. but i reli can't help it.
there isnt a single moment for the past 2wks that i've stopped thinking abt it.. i may be preoccupied with sth else.. but after a while.. my mind will ALWAYS switch back to it..
worry. worry. worry.
i'm reli gg mad juz thinking abt it.. thinking of what IFs.. thinking of wat may be..
just wat haf i gotten myself into???!!
never been this freaked my entire life.
and i noe that peace wont be with me
unless..
unless it finally comes. back.

today's xmas day.. received reli lovely gifts from haoz, miffu, noo and even oint (reli surprised.. she's perpetually broke.. wat with all her money spent on para-para) and we had this yummilicious log cake from awfully chocolate! and come tmr.. i'll be in HK busy shopping and eating and hopefully having a wonderful time.

As the days go by.. i'm beginning to be more and more convinced that..
I LIVE in the FOREST.
(there's a forest-like hill rite behind my blk in hall8 in ntu.. i.e. looking out thru my window.. u see nothing but dense forest vegetation... and it's habitants of coz.)

LOOK who came to visit yest nite!

a 3 to 4m long PYTHON!! it's reli huge la.. and it was found outside the level 3 guys' toilet. (yet another reason why gals shld always be allocated the rooms in the higher floors) imagine.. u step out of the toilet after bathing and ~wala!! huge ferocious python snarling at u. think u'll juz collapse in a useless heap and get swallowed whole by the hungry python la. somehow, guys are less prone to high-pitched shrieking and fainting. so they shld remain on the lower and more 'dangerous' floors. heh.

anyway.. the campus security called up some reli inexperienced group of ppl to capture this snake (it was shedding its skin btw). and they took like a full 30mins hitting the snake with the broom and frantically preventing it from escaping back into the safety of the forest behind (by doing seriously stupid stuff like grasping on to its tail and tugging it back..)
they finally got it trapped in the big black dustbin next to the snake. and they brought the python away TOGETHER with our hall's big black dustbin. yeh i noe wat u're thinking. didnt they bring their own snake-catching equipment?? i suspect they thot that it was a tiny snake.. the pail that they brought was too small for this humongous python la. anyway after sooooooo much struggling.. they caught the snake. so think i ought to give them some credit huh.

yeh. and a mth ago while busy mugging for the exams.. my roomie and i sighted 2 grey wild boars RIGHT outside our window trudging thru the undergrowth. and the other less harmless wildlife like squirrels, white-yellow funny looking birds and a gigantic cat (the size of a baby tiger cub) adds on to the list of exotic wildlife at our hall. my fren was saying tt maybe one day soon we'll see a man-eating komodo dragon lurking in the corridor. yeh rite. then hall 8 shld be just renamed to "the ntu reptile garden". =P

xmas is coming.
HK trip is coming.
reli reli looking forward to it!!!!!!! =)
