yoohoo!
im back with more updates. it is lonely no more, cos i have Singaporean friends here till early august too! all thanks to jerk or else i wont be able to know a bunch of nus peeps. and also, i met siew kiang and jia tong here too! what a pleasant surprise (:
time is passing by at sonic speed. i have left with about 3/4 weeks before i bid farewell to this canton land. AHHHH bo xi gan liao! i have still a list of things that i have not done and i want to fulfill them before i leave.
1) ocean park! gosh, i can give up Disneyland for their exorbitant prices. but not ocean park!
2) outlying islands. lamma, cheng chaung islands. c'mon, give me some fresh air and CHUK, pls dont make me pay HK$200 for some baby food as lunch.
3) Macau! the land of gamblers. i want to see vegas look alike casinos and probably bet a few dollars there heh. well of course, not ending up with my first gambling debt.
4) Shenzhen! the land of counterfeits. i want to get some 'prada'/'LV' bags/wallets for my dearest friends in spore. many more 21st birthdays coming! if that fails, please at least indulge in some cheap (clean too, please!) massage. my old body is cracking up due to the bed and all the walking.
5) go-karting. i want to get a feel of a F1-race. but it's not cheap.
6) buffet. hongkong is a land of food paradise (minus away the salty food please). i cant wait to indulge in a good buffet with my colleague. the weight gain will probably be neutralised by any unfortunate case of ahem* the flu virus. (choy ah!)
7) wong tai sin. it's not a person's name. it's a temple with apparently accurate fortune-telling.
8) haircut. yes, how can i not get a hongkong haircut. everyone from exchange/overseas trips will most probably get a haircut in their respective country. so that they can come back to show-off their made-in-___ haircut. sadly over here, it's not cheap. the average neighbourhood price for a haircut is already more than S$14.
9) watersports. argh, sai kung (not sai kang!) is really beautiful. i bet the view from the watersports centre is even better. but it's 70 minutes walk from the town centre, unless we charter a bus.
10) pubs with live music. i just love listening to musicians crooning and strumming their guitars. or singers who can rock the stage and bring the house down.
right now, im busy sewing a keychain for mrs cheng. i paid >S$20 for it and the instructions are in japanese. how nice right! luckily i have my nice colleagues to ask for their advice haha. engineers at work.
Tee-Trish is getting into shape too. Hopefully we can start the ball rolling by the end of this week.
*taken at lau fau shan in early june by my colleague. opposite bank is shenzhen. this is one of the places where fishermen collect oysters. they brought me around to explore the vicinty during our lunch break. (an extra long one haha) we were originally in the area for one of the worksite visits. those who were with me have such fatherly figures. they keep asking me to take photos and were so willing to tell me more about hong kong and the area we were in.
heaps and heaps of empty oyster shells. this is just one of them. what a feast!
there are a lot of experiences to share and thoughts to express. but i will leave them to another time.
