01:01 - Hong Kong, Day one and two - Just to add

My dear did a wonderful job relating our Day one and two in our Hong Kong 5D4N adventure in her My Fairy Tale. frankly, for this trip, we flew quite unprepared.. we just knew there was Disneyland, Shenzhen and lotsa shopping and eating. Ya. I know, pigs. but hey! we're on a vacation. and so we did just about that, plus enjoying every minute together.

FYI, we're pretty good at that. anyway, just to add a few things on our Day one and two...


we were welcomed by this giant board that had this line-"unlimited shopping experience.." we, the avid shoppers got excited after that...



And so we explored- this was along Jardine's Bazzar at Causeway Bay. we just han-thum our way.


As the island is extremely well connected via trains, they were our main transportation mode for the entire stay. they were pretty cost effective as well. we basically planned our destinations by the train stations.


Give the Hong Kongers an escalator and they'll keep to the right! just an observation..


The streets of i'm not sure where... but Hongkong really is the land of billboards.


The port view from our hotel room at Mexan Harbour Hotel. Did we mention that the hotel features Asia's longest swimming pool at 200m in a single stretch? and listen to this- the hotel also features Asia's highest entry prices for a swimming pool- S$20! we didn't even know we had to pay for them at first until the hotel staff told us- now we know why there was nobody in that lovely large pool...


an old estate.


reminds me of work. yucks.

Do look out for our Hong Kong, Day Three, Four and Five- coming soon!

11:24 - Rumblings (after the exams)

Oh yes. the semester two exams have finally came to a close. we were unprepared and unwilling for the exams. the school seem to have tied a noose around students and up their standards- not much hints at all! so much so for Monash- the all almightly super branded university. so when you tell people Monash- they go like ohhhh, that Monasshh. nearly every executive (and above) knows them. anyway, i can't wait to finish off my education and (hopefully) fly off to aussie with my baby to graduate- the Monash way. and snap up the Monash T-shirts like they are highly branded T-shirts. ho.

So now my life seems back on track after the confinement from social activities (C.F.S.A) due to the exams. during the course of the two days (after last paper on Friday), we satisfied most of our basic, safety, social, self esteem and self actualization needs (according in Maslow's theory-which did not come out in the exams at all...) such as food, sleep, buying birthday present, movies, shopping and love. it was a frenzy of activities the two days- conqeuring the shopping districts of Singapore's Orchard Road and Suntec-Marina SC!

Mad excessive shopping which led to the buying of my very lovely and savvy birthday present from baby (which I will post at a late date), bags, Hello Kitty (for my #01 boss), leather accessories, (many) apparels and even a CK boxers! we are so very evident of being the compulsive shopping disorder after exams (C.S.D.A.E)..

so we caught Stardust.. and enjoyed the movie. it was a good show- stretches the imagaination, giving the fairy tale feel and not too exaggerated at all- well rumbled up. and of cos like LC mentioned- don't catch it with guys- it soils the show.

we will still be venturing into the deep unknowns of shopping centres in search of two more birthday presents later.. one for my #02 boss- who came back from a 1 month backpack to Europe! and another for baby's big sista. just rumbling off track awhile- when my #02 boss was away for that 1 month- i requested for my very own- ahem- part timer! well, for someone who used to be on the opposite side of the fence can feel rather excited you know what i mean.. anyway, this 17 year old part timer is such a Qoo.. he doesn't talk much and games after lunch thinking that I don't know. with all the excessive clicking of the mouse and soft sounds coming off the speakers- yes- he did not mute the game.. a veteran gamer like myself can tell between gaming and data entry.. data entry should have more taptaptap of the keyboard than the clickclickclick. and so i pointed out (nicely and gently) and so very speechless he was. flushed.

ok. i think i better stop rumbling now- better start posting the Hong Kong images. so very lagged and late. finish the unfinished i shall!

So belated Happy Birthday myself and no more exams blues (for now..)! Tally- ho then!
