before you climb up the stairs u must swear your allegiance to buddha. no lah just kidding.

hong kong day 2!

in the morning went to panda hotel. that's where my colleagues and students are staying. at first when my colleague sms me that they are staying at that hotel, i nearly laughed my ass off, cos from the name i thought it was some kind of ulu budget hotel. but when i reach the lobby of the hotel, i was so wrong man! the decor of the hotel lobby is like machiam 4-star hotel. so wat's the morale of the story? nv judge the hotel by its name. haha.

met my colleagues and we went for yum cha at one of hk's authentic yum cha restaurants. and we realised all are retirees, our table consists of the youngest customers in the whole restaurant. some of their dim sum items are quite special, nv found in singapore. :)



had a very long and nice chat with my colleagues. i really love my colleagues. very nice to talk to, can talk about everything under the sun. learnt alot of stuff from them too, be it handling students, preparing lessons, and politics.

after yum cha i went to check out their hotel rooms. very nice! i think its bigger and nicer than the rooms at mongkok metropark.



the next location we are heading to is the big buddha at lantau island! to go there, we took mtr to tung chung station, and then took a cable car ride to the big buddha.





the big buddha is located on top of a long flight of stairs.





lantau island is a very tranquil place with very nature walks. as we walk, we ventured into this wonderful place:



dunno wat's this place called, but it got many pillars, with buddhist scriptures carved on them. this place is really very very nice. just being in it gives us a feeling of peace and tranquility.


we had their local tau hway, which taste very smooth and delicious. the different thing about this tau hway is that they dun put sugar syrup, instead they put brown sugar powder. quite special.




and then we left the big buddha, and took the cable car ride down to tung chung. there is a big shopping centre at tsuen wan called citygate. this shopping centre got all the famous brands factory outlets, and the prices of the products are warehouse prices, damn cheap! got adidas, nike, puma, new balance, quiksilver, timberland, many many more.

shop until damn shuang, and i also met agnes, my jc friend cum alumni dancer in nus chi dance. wat a small world. bought clothes for myself from adidas, and bought a jacket and sports bra from nike for darling.

had lunch at macdonald! my wish is to go to different macdonald outlets in the world and try out their burgers. haha. hk's macdonald got two burgers that singapore dun have, which is the grilled chicken burger, and the ebi burger.

ebi burger




went back to the hotel and rest for a while, before going for dinner with hongsen's relatives. hongsen has two groups of relatives, one group in hk, and the other group in macau. so we met up with the hk group, and they brought us to this nice chinese restaurant. the food they ordered for us is damn nice, but the dish that leaves me the deepest impression is the roast goose. damn shiok damn delicious. heck care they got bird flu. haha. just eat.

ok basically that's all for day 2.

day 3 will be a super happening day. :)

hong kong day 1!

dear readers, i am proud to announce that i got no more lao sai le. the da bian has changed from liquid form to semi-liquid form, and finally to solid form. yay!

i noe its a bit gross, but at least i verbally describe, better than taking pics of the three different forms, yes?

ok now i am blogging on my sis's macbook, hope that it wun be a chore.

on the first day of our trip, which is 3rd dec, our flight to hk is at 130 pm, but we wanted to check in earlier cos our flight is at T3, and we want to go inside T3 transit area to walk around. i arrived at T3 at about 10 am to meet darling and spend some time alone with her for a while, cos i will not be seeing her until one week later.

before i embark on the trip proper, let me introduce my travel buddies:


on the left: mr leow chee leong, a lab technician working in lai fo shi institution. kind guy with a heart of gold, a bit timid, and can be a bit po ma. got to know him when we were fellow instructors in school of armour during our army days.

on the right: mr mak hong sen, a computer engineer working in some well known company. very street smart guy, and he is the recee king throughout this whole trip. we can always count on him to bring us to the right place. look shy and reserved, but he is not shy in front of the camera, quite a camera whore. haha. we were also fellow instructors in school of armour.

on our way to the plane:



the view of the clouds from our window seat:



the meals on the plane:

international dish: roast chicken with dunno wat sauce, and fried potatoes



oriental dish: stir-fried pork with fried rice



when we reach hk, its already sunset.



and when we check in our hotel, the sky is already dark. at hk, the sky turn dark at around 6 pm. very very fast. we stayed at metropark mongkok hotel. its a two-star hotel, and the location is very good. its 3 min walk from prince mtr station, and 5 min walk from the happening shopping district of mongkok. nearby the hotel got nice eateries, convenience shops and pharmacies.

once we put down our belongings in the hotel room, we took our virgin hk mtr ride to tsim sha shui. we went to the avenue of stars. its called avenue of stars, because on the floor got handprints of many famous celebrities. at avenue of stars, you can also see the beautiful city landscape of hk, and every night from 8 to 820 pm, there will be a laser show performance called 'symphony of lights'.







as we were walking around, i saw from far a group of loud teenagers. they were taking photographs happily, and speaking singaporean flavoured english. i walked closer to them, and to my utmost joy, they were my students! when they saw me, they also screamed. not with fright, but with joy. hahaha.

wanted to take a big grp photo but dunno why they so shy. in the end only this 3 take with me. the two girls are from my form class. the cute little boy is from one of my chemistry classes.



and i saw my colleagues! we were thrilled to see one another. actually before that we already planned to yum cha the next morning. but we actually met one another earlier than expected. :)



after bidding my colleagues and students goodbye at avenue of stars, we went to the hk space museum. on wednesdays all the hk museums' admission is free.




we only spent like ten min there, cos we reached at 850, and the closing time is 9 pm.

and then we walked all the way from hk space museum back to our hotel. -.-'''

not because we got no money to take mtr, but we want to see the happening night life of hk. we walked through temple street night market and mongkok. hk is really very vibrant and happening.

we finally reached our hotel one hour later. we were shagged like hell. haha.

back from hk

hi everyone i am back!

its been a fun trip at hk and macau, eating lots of good food, buying lots of nice stuff, and seeing many nice scenery and interesting architecture.

the only sian thing about this trip is that i kenna food poisoning on the last day, and lao sai like ten over times. it was so jia lat that i have to go to the government hospital. the doctor wanted me to stay in the ward for one day of observation, but this is impossible, because i am going back to sg. so in the end she gave me an injection on the ass, and prescribed me medicine.

i thought i was going to die on the plane back to sg, but thankfully i survived the whole ordeal. must thank my two travelling companions who accompanied me to the hospital and taking good care of me. :)

now that my laptop is still under repair, i cant upload my photos and thus wun be writing posts about my trip. and i took lots of photos. about 500 plus! its really crazy man. haha.

i am still having diarrhoea now, but its much better already compared to yesterday. just now darling came over to my house to visit me and also bought me hot porridge for lunch. :)

if my diarrhoea doesnt get any better, i have to miss the ktv session with my nie classmates tomorrow afternoon, and also dance practise tomorrow night.

away from singapore

dear readers, i will be going to hong kong from 3rd to 9th dec. :)

last post before hk trip

tmr i will be sending my super chui laptop for repair. so this post shall be the last post before i go off to hk. btw, some of my colleagues are bringing the kids to hk from 2nd to 6th dec, and most likely i will meet up with my colleagues over there for breakfast in the morning or some drinks at night. how cool is that. :)

after so many days of rotting at home, finally i am going to hk soon! this is so exciting. staying at home is a good thing, because u get to save money. during lunch, i lazy to go downstairs buy food, so i will cook something on my own. for dinner, can eat home cooked food. haha.

so here's the food that i prepared on my own. some are personally cooked by me, but others are just leftovers from the previous day's dinner, and i just take them out from the fridge and heat them in the microwave or steam them in a wok.

porridge with 梅菜扣肉. my first attempt in cooking porridge, and my shi fu is darling. haha. the 梅菜扣肉 is cooked by my father for dinner the previous night.

char kway teow! fried by my father the previous day for lunch. i took it out from the fridge and re-fry it with another egg.

cheese omelette with tomato sauce! this is my 精心杰作.

mee pok goreng! also my 精心杰作. :)

--------------------------------------------------------

went to meet darling in the afternoon at woodlands. today is her last paper! congrats darling! its finally your turn to enjoy the holidays! for those who are still having papers, persevere on. haha.

bought some cupcakes for darling as a reward for studying hard during the exam period.

darling, pls take care of yourself when i am not around. try not to miss me too much, but i noe u will miss me alot, and i will miss u alot too. 一个礼拜很快就过去了. :)

to my family members: papa, nothing much to say to you, cos i think u are the perfect man. haha. mama, dun sleep too late every night, because u have to wake up very early to go to work the next day. my younger sis, dun be too preoccupied with work and try to come home often for dinner. my youngest sis, enjoy your holidays, but also try to come home often for dinner. if both of you dun come home for dinner, mama will surely cook crap (CRAP, not CRAB) for papa to eat.
