能奢望已经是一种幸福
能够从中得到什么更是三生有幸
知足常乐是门很深的学问
正在学习中
i'm so trying to be poetic.. LOL.. ok wanna go eat dinner liao.. n b a couch potato.. heehee..
7/31/2008 tiredfeeling so tired now.. dunno y leh.. slept sufficiently today.. is it e post-holidays syndrome? haha.. shoulders still aching.. i'm old liao lah..
a couple more days to sch reopening.. feel quite sian abt it but somehow still looking forward to it.. looking forward to meeting 4 qianjins again.. haha! looking forward to having smth to look forward to.. haha sounds so gg-round-in-circle.. but ultimately v sian coz no more slacking, tv watching etc.. will hav a hectic life again..
n feeling quite sian abt moving back to hall again.. really v tiring to move stuffs lor.. but so fast its my 3rd yr in hall liao.. soon will b life in beijing liao.. hmm time really passes v fast.. wonder how long will it b tt i'll b old n wrinkled, thinking back abt this blog entry leh? haha!
really funny how we always like to look back rite? guess its human nature.. but actually i'm always v curious abt 'life' after death.. seriously, wat will it b? will there really b such a thing as heaven or hell? or mayb after our death in this life we juz proceed straight to another life? will there really b like god, or buddha, or goddess of mercy etc? or mayb everything juz blackout? hmm really v curious abt it, but i dun wanna die yet lah CHOY!!!! haha!
neway wl! wat hall u go to ah? shouldn't b mine since u nv msg me abt it.. haha! 7/29/2008 Hongkong/ Macau 2008I'm BACK!!!!
=) heehee for ppl who juz dunno, i'm back frm a holiday in hongkong n abit of macau.. back from all e 买东西吃东西 买东西吃东西!! haha i love the holiday feeling! no studying, no deadline, no exams NO STRESS!! generally i think e trip was quite ok, although i gotta say i love taiwan more.. but hk was ok, macau was quite nice.. but i really really gotta say: the weather was BLOODILY HOT lah! the sky was blue the 6 days i was there, no clouds, hot wind, dusty air.. sigh give me s'pore weather anytime.
but the food there was GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD!!! i totally love e food there! dimsum, 烧味, normal 茶餐厅 breakfast, desserts.. YUMYUM! if there's really something i miss in hk now, it'll b e food. sian i'm missing e 烧肉 frm e cafe near my hotel liao. sigh.
there's juz so much to say abt the trip!!! ok i'll try 2 keep it short.
DAY 1, 22。07。2008
had to wake up so early for e 630a.m. flight.. was cheated by the airport bcoz u cant even bring water u buy after checking in onto e plane.. in e end spend like $7 on water even b4 landing in hk. bleh. but scenery frm plane was cool.
love e clouds.
my hotel is in 油麻地, so i had to take e airport express train to kowloon mrt station, den a free shuttle bus to my hotel. e train ride was nice, den saw some nice scenery along the way, but e free shuttle bus was urgh.
look good?
quite old n dark inside.
hey but den it's free lah, wat u expect? n ymca international house is no 5 star hotel. (free shuttle bus to 6 star The Venetian is SO diff.)
a scene frm the airport express.
then had lunch at this 茶餐厅 near my hotel, under my bro's recommendation. I love 烧味 here! heehee i ate at this cafe 4 times!!! e 烧肉 here is so tasty n e skin is so crispy!!!!! SUPER YUMMY!
looks plain but e food's really gd. drinks ok only though.
and then for the 1st time in my life..
hmm nth different.. oh abit different..
ta-dah! i dye n highlighted n cut my hair!!!
dye, highlight, cut, wash, treatment for ~S$60. is that cheap? i think it is, bcoz e cut is quite gd n e red colour is quite nice. heehee. but i think i look very gong gong. haha..
anyway e highlight n everything took quite awhile so i was almost late for e light show at Avenue of Stars. but ok lah. e show was ok lor. mayb bcoz my brother showed me e video of it before. n there were so many ppl there. super crowded.
Bruce lee! n jackie chan!
After e light show, walked to this place called 唐朝. it's quite famous for e dessert. had dinner & dessert there. the wanton noodles i had was not bad bcoz is prawn wantons. 1 prawn per wanton leh! then e pork chop oso not bad. the dessert.. e 杨枝金露 was ok only, but e 豆花 was smooth n tasty.. nice!
After dat, walked ard tsim sha tsui, shopped abit, den went back hotel to prepare for e next day: Lantau island 大屿山.
DAY 2, 23。07。2008
in the morning, walk a long distance n went to a random 茶餐厅 at 太子 there. think e food there is not bad.. haha! but my bro comment dat e food dun look appealing in e photos.. -_-''' dun care it's nice.
it's really nice~!!!
then it was train down to ngong ping 360 cable car station, where i took e cable car up to e Big Buddha. e view up was v nice coz e sky was v blue.. e cable car ride was abt 25 mins, so lucky it was quite windy up in the cable car..
we had to pass by this rather lame ngong ping village b4 reaching e Big Buddha. the big buddha was rather spectacular, but e stairs b4 it was.. sigh. mayb i'm juz out of exercise. haha! but it was quite worth it. e view was quite nice n it was v windy!
many shots of e Big BUddha..
after this was e vegetarian meal in the 宝莲寺 斋堂.. it was not bad lah.. extremely BIG serving for HK$60. even had to return the rice. just had e dishes for lunch coz not v nice to waste food on 佛门清净地。haha! love e mushroom dish e most. e sauce of dat dish was yummy n e mushroom was juicy n delicious!!!
some message on e table..
what a spread right?
felt v full after e meal even w/o e rice. went on after e meal to look for e route to the Wisdom Path. think really need some wisdom to find e path bcoz e map pointing to this path was very misleading. It was a long n wulu road to the wisdom path. luckily there were many ppl gg to so it was ok.
a familiar sentence?
after this very enlightening trip to the big buddha, it was the v heartening trip to.. heehee.. the outlet shopping centre!!!! forgot e name of e shopping centre liao, only noe dat it is the shopping centre wif many outlet stores. n it's not like e anchorpoint so small lor.. it's 3 storeys high can!!!! branded goods outlet stores oso got! erm but some things really not dat cheap so nv like buy alot. juz bought a Adidas tee for my bro, a Roots tee for myself n an Espirit jeans for myself. haha! but i guess if want branded goods at cheaper price it might b a good place. that place even got a Body Shop outlet store can!!!!!!!
DAY 3, 24。07。2008
woke up late for this day, so ended up having brunch. but it was a gd brunch coz we had DIMSUM!! haha. wat is a hk trip w/o dimsum can.. went over to causeway bay to this restuarant under maxim's, which is similar to our crystal jade lah. but think e dimsum is so much more better than s'pore many dimsum. even e appetiser which is this curry thingy is yummy.
couldnt resist eating hence some things look so little. oh e egg tart was gd!
after e brunch it was of coz shopping again. (girls lah~) accidently came across this shop called uniqlo. think it's e clothing dept of Muji. quite a nice place to shop. esp for guys. the tees there can go for as low as HK$39 on sale. e normal price is HK$99, which is abt S$18. think quite worth for e cute price. they even have like japanese manga prints. bought tees there for my cousins n belt 4 my bro.
At night, it was back over at Central. i wanted 2 go to the PEAK. sigh i think is so not nice. firstly, the queue for e tram was long. waiting for the tram was super sian. AND it was so crowded at the Peak. wat a putoff lor. Thirdly, dunno since when they start charging a fee of HK$20 just to go onto e viewing gallery to see e view. WHAT A RIP-OFF LOR!!!!!!!!!!!! i refuse to pay so juz went to some corner dat can see e view too but not as nice lah.
but 1 thing nice abt e peak was that i went to madam tussaud (forget how to spell). was quite nice doing stupid things wif all e wax figures. like..
some tram photos..
the peak view..
DAY 4, 25。07。2008 -- MACAU
woke up super early for e ferry to macau. water was very choppy at hk ferry terminal. tot i was gonna feel sick but i din, lucky.
Hongkong waters..
MACAU!!! or MACAO?
went straight to central macau. haha a tour guide tried to cheat us of HK$300 at the macau ferry terminal. in the end it took us abt HK$5 each to get ard? i mean yar gotta waste lotsa energy walking, but e idea is to noe how to take free shuttle buses to various hotels n casinos.. haha!
ok back to central macau. that's where the ruins of St Paul, or 大三八牌坊 is. lotsa local products to buy here, n they r pretty not bad. had to buy lotsa local products here under e instructions ofmy bro n my godma. haha.
we den went back to the ferry terminal to take a free shuttle bus to the six-star hotel-cum-casino The Venetian. the place is juz filled wif gold paint lah. such a hype over it but actually it really rather similar to genting first world's hotel shopping area. the venice area was really so-so only. mayb it's gd coz there were lotsa performers along the corridors.
welcome to The Venetian? or Genting?
but the casino here was super cool!! yes i managed to enter the casino. above 18 can liao. can even enter wif slippers n shorts n hands full of shopping bags. haha! well dat was me, n they din stop me. hee! neway e casino was really big! like 1 big soccer field liddat i think. or mayb 2 fields. den the dealers hands damn cool lor. haha i was v amazed coz din go into casino before. =) think it's v interesting place to go except 4 e smoking. see ppl gamble oso v fun. haha!
den took a shuttle bus to another casino, Sands. but not to go casino again lah. was to go to e macau fisherman's wharf. lotsa replica's of famous places all over e world like 唐城, 罗马竞技场,babylon, potala palace etc.. juz quite interesting but was quite tiring to walk ard..
after that is juz a short walk to the Macau Grand Prix stand to look look see see den it was back to HK..
DAY 5, 26。07。2008
this was the official shopping day. basically we juz shopped to whole day frm central to tsim sha tsui all e way to 太子。 extremely tired. but a fruitful day. almost went crazy at H&M. i love this place. feels like topshop+espirit but so much more cheaper. haha!
oso visited some places in central.. those places that appear often in hk dramas..
had some nice food along the walk up to e hotel frm tsim sha tsui..
crispy wafer n 鸡蛋仔.. supposedly v famous store..
DAY 6, 27。07。2008
juz shopped somemore on this day. coz nothing much to do neway. reach airport much earlier den we should so juz waited for the checkin counter to open. check-in early.
but almost missed the plane. i tot the airline meant that reach departure hall 30 mins b4 departure. they meant e departure gate where we had to take a bus to the airplane, not the place where they check our passport n everything.
well i din noe so u arrived at departure gate at 15 mins before. the crew members sort of lost their temper at us, calling us to hurry up n kept saying we were e last passengers. heehee so paiseh. but come to think of it so scary. almost missed flight leh. but heng lah.. (pat chest)
den it's home sweet home!!!

OH MISS TEO! U MISSED SMTH EXCITING THIS MORN! SO SAD~
7/11/2008 urghy cant ppl practice wat they preach?
dun give excuses like it's v difficult.. YOU decide what you can do.
u don't, not because u cant, but u dont want to.
so stop giving excuses.
and stop pretending to b gd when u're not.
coz sometimes it's not really abt e action, but e message e action gives.
