HK HK HK ! ! !

well then, i just came back from hong kong this morning on the jetstar asia airways plane landing at the airport here at around 12.15am (when we were supposed to have landed at 11.50pm the day before). well, the delay was due to, according to the pilots, the late arrival of the plane from singapore to hk so i suppose it sort of pushed back the schedules a bit huh. anyways, the flight to and fro were rather comfortable if you ask me. that is if you are just looking for a flight that just allows you to sleep and do nothing else, cause really there really ain't nothing to do on board the plane. no inflight entertainment- except for a really pathetic magazine about asia; no good luxury food that you would find on board a singapore airlines or cathay flight; basically nothing. well, i tried the fried egg noodles with seaweed roll dish and i must say the 8 dollars you're paying really is just to fill your tummy and not to tantalise your lovely lil' taste buds. trust me on this, it ain't fantastic but it's edible, at least. and oh i won some travel voucher on my way back through some lucky draw, so i just might go overseas just before i enlist next year.

went on this trip with 12 other people, i think- namely francis, louisa, camillus, tim, peimin, daphne, zuo yi, zihua, cynthia, qixin, joan and not forgetting my roommate karfu...

HALT! if you're thinking this entire entry is gonna be the hotspots we went to and the details of each and every segment of my trip, you can just press ALT- F4 now, cause i won't be doing just that. i ain't got much of a photographic memory, and neither do i have the time to type all that down. and even if i do fulfill both requirements, i probably won't type it down here will i? i might as well type it into notepad or word and send to some publication company and then sell it to you. ha.

... and as i was saying, we went to many places lahx. temple street, ladies street, central, admiralty jordan, and many of the heartlands where there were a considerable amount of shopping which could be done there. haha. and since i'm here at this juncture, i might as well tell you what in the world i bought so here goes-

- 3 bags
- 1 t-shirt
- 1 vcd
- 1 lovely fake watch
- 4 lil bottles
- 1 pair of earrings
- 5 leather-back notebooks
- 1 G2000 tie
- 1 pair of nike running gear
- 1 bottle of liquor
- 1 pack of beer
- and some more stuff that i cannot remember now.

yea, so you can probably know how much i spent here. if you're thinking that i spent like tens of thousands of dollars here, forget it. every item i bought was less than 100HKD. haha. i bargained like mad lahx. totally a mamasan- wait, that's no meaning. HAHA. but yea, you get the idea. we shopped like mad and come to think of it, my feet stil hurts today. and i think this trip has had a negative effect on me- I'M HOOKED ON SHOPPING!! after i went home, i immediately left home to send taoyat and potato off and then headed down to town to window shopp. so technically i didn't sleep since 9am yesterday morning, quite pro huh. haha. okay lahx, not that pro cause i slept like 2hours on the plane and 45mins at the airport but yea, you get the point. PS: don't find fault with me if you can not sleep for like 10,000 years.

guessed i learnt a lot throughout this trip, not just in terms of the dialect, but yea of myself as well. kudos to karfu (give yourself a pat on your back if you're reading this karfu!) who helped me see things that i previously was so oblivant to. i definitely learnt a lot and i definitely absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. and it's so true that a holiday is really a holiday if your company makes it a holiday. haha.
alright, i shall end here. photos should be up tonight i think. haha. till then, byeeeee~
it seems like i've been focusing
too much on The problem
when all i needed to see
was myself.
