This is My Life......

Last saturday, after our elders session, we (from different batches) went down to Katong Shopping center for our K session... We left the home at 4pm while I drove all off them to Katong using my dad's pick-up... along the way, that bryan kept "complaining" that there is no air con at the back... but i told him he got free air con by sitting at the back.. the wind breeze as the pick up moved...hahahhaah... We reached the place at 4.30pm.. had our early dinner at the food court... we had "boneless" chicken rice, but there's still bone.... and it cost pretty ex... $4 per plate...

Earlier that week, I have booked a medium room, expecting to be able to fit all 10 of us. but to our surprise, it was only a confortable room for 6-8 persons... so no choice we got to squezze.....

Nevertheless, we had fun singing... with the cosiness in that room... Chia Wen and Siqi( the juniors) sang really well.... Talent spotted... No forgetting the guys, eugene, sir seng and bryan.... Wah... they can really sing too.... they are pro..... Next time, the committee will know who to look for when they need ppl to perform for the events....

I guess this k session was a great bonding session among the different batches as we get to interact among ourselves... One thing i realised during the session was that no matter how shy they were initailly, everyone just joined in the singing after 1-2 songs... especially tian tao, raymond and yuanxing who initially said that they dun want to sing end up singing.. without peer pressure... seriously... i guess we were "close" that we dun mind others hearing our horrible singing.. hahhahaha... It just came out naturally.... Even guys and gals there dun mind singing duet together.... hahahha.... (Unlike the time we were in Kukop.... we got to drag and beg ppl to sing.... haiz...)

We went on singing from 5pm to 10 pm.. paying $68 for the room... plus the food and drinks we bought from sheng siong, we paid onli $8 per person... that's freaking cheap.... hahahha... i'm still living up to my name as a biz mag... lol...

Day2: 9 June 2008

OCEAN PARK!!!!!!!!!!

Took MTR from Jordon to admiralty(using Octopus card) with the help of their stuff... super helpful and serve with a smile... unlike singaporeans... Then considering the time and the no. of us going, we took a taxi to Ocean Park instead of Citybus...

We spent the whole day there... it was hot and humid... almost dehydrate... but it was fun and wild... Will let the pictures do the talking....

As it was a public holiday, there was hugh crowd and long queue all over the places... the Underwater world was totally packed that u cant even walk without getting ur face sticking to another person's back... As a result of the crowd me and suling got lost from my parent s and bro for an hour.... it was so freaking funny la.. when we told the customer control station that we lost our brother and when we told her he was 18 yrs old... hahhaha.. but after that we found him again....

As my parents were too tired, they seat under teh shade while the 3 of us went round the park trying out the rides... pretty normal but due to the crowd, they cut down the time of each ride.. so a bit not shiok.....

After the Ocean park, we decided to return to the hotel to freshen up b4 we proceed to the next place... We went to Wooshong temperary market to eat the da pie tong that my mum wanted... the old fashion type... they serve delicious food like the bi fong tand crab, roasted goose, seafood soup, garlic steam scallops at very cheap price....

After that, we took the trusty MTR to back to HK island to try out the tram and the mid level escaltor and walk along lan kwai fong....

After that we went back to Kowloon/ Mongkok to do some shopping... they sell lots of stuff... from t-shirts to imitatioin bags, pen to shoes to accessories... feel free to bargain with them..... we got a Gucci bag at Hk 60... hahahha.. converse shoes at Hk 100... Mont Blanc pen @ HK$ 50... seriousl, i shopped till i drop....

by 11pm, stall starts to close and they wont bother to do any biz with u... cos they will be fine if they operate their biz beyond 11.30pm.... but there are some who will continue and this is the best time to chop them further.... HAhahah and that was wat we did.....

It has been 17 years since i last visited Hong Kong. I was only a little kid when I previously went there... all i remember was the Ocean park. After sooo long, I made sure i'm going to walk through Hong Kong like no tommorow...

Day1: 8 June 2008

Flew off to Hk on Jetsatar at 6.15am from Changi terminal 1 with my mum, dad, little bro and my buddy, Suling. 4 hrs was hard to pass when u are cramped to a seat with limited leg space. however, my eagerness to reach HK outweighs all the discomfort.

We took the hotel shuttle bus to Shamrock hotel located at jorden (somewhere in between TST and Yau Ma Tin)... Lovely hotel... excellent service... They even offered to do a free upgrading of rooms for us due the inconvenience of the renovation ^-^

After settling down, we set off to to temple street to have our lunch... we walked all the way to look for Mido Cafe which was highly recommended.. Turned out that it was closed due to the dumpling festival. So we decided to eat at a nearby cha cheng teng. We had wan tan noodle, fishball noodle... love the milk tea and almond drink... Yummy ^-^

Next we walked along the streets of granville, kimberley, Cameron in tsim sha tsui. Along the way, there were lots of warehouse sale selling cheap and fashionable outfits... I bought a grey vest from one of the shops at Hk$80. Only disadvantage of these shops is that they dun allow shoppers to try on their products.. There were also lots of shops selling beautiful products... hahaha.. ai mei de wo decided to grab hold of a box of facial mask too....

by 8pm, we made our way to Avenue of Stars.. I was amaze by the night scenery... The laser show "A symphony of lights" wasnt that fantastic due to the cloud that was blurring out the laser...

After that we took a cab to Temple street as my mum couldnt wait to try out the da pai tong (roadside hawker) After walking up and down along the street, we coudnt find the wuloo da pai tong that my mum saw on HK drama. After asking a local uncle, he brought us to this stall that he claimed to serve the best food in temple street... Well, it wasnt too bad.. but too salty...

After that we continued to shop the temple street selling lots of stuff like toys, bags, necklaces , t-shirt, footwears.... and even sex toy!!!!! At the end of the day, I bought a bag and BAPE t shirt.. Fulfilling already... ^-^

Accuarancy of Death aka sweet rain

Story:

Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) appears seven days before a person dies an unexpected death. His job is to observe the person for seven days, and then decide either to 'execute' or 'suspend'. Getting his work quickly out of the way, he goes to the listening booth of a CD shop and indulges in his favorite pastimes, listen to 'humanity's greatest invention' : music. He is... a Grim Reaper. Today, again, in the rain, he waits. His subject, her death due in seven days, is Kazue Fujiki (Manami Konishi), 27. She works for a manufacturing company, in the complaints department. Exhausted after her day, she emerges from her office. It's time for the Reaper to go to work.

This movie was so highly rated that it was full house when me and my colleague went to watch it over at PS. We had to sit at the forth row that gave me a stiff neck and shoulders after 2 hours... However, it has a nice plot... showing how the Grim Reaper decides on the fate of 3 persons at different genre. It is onli till the end of the movie then u will realised how the 3 stories were linked. A pretty slow paced movie( nearly fell asleep half way through the movie), not advisable to watch it at the end of a tiring day of work. However, it is a movie that trigger one to think about life and death.

As a shinigami, he made his life-and-death decision based on a very important factor: Has this person fulfil his/her purpose in life? I strongly agree with the way he made his decisions. Having a purpose to live in this world is the most essential. Like an OL needs to live on to realise her dream to be a wonderful singer... a teenage boy needs to live on to reunite with his mother.... a old lady to live on to meet her grandson... During the movie, it made me ponder whether the decisions other people made for you really determine how your life will turned out to be. For the shinigami allowing the OL to live on has changed her life so much... Maybe during the journey of our life, the people we meet could turn out to be the shinigami.......

Made of Honour

Story:

For Tom (Patrick Dempsey), life is good: he's sexy, successful, has great luck with the ladies, and knows he can always rely on Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), his delightful best friend and the one constant in his life. It's the perfect setup until Hannah goes overseas to Scotland on a six-week business trip… and Tom is stunned to realize how empty his life is without her. He resolves that when she gets back, he'll ask Hannah to marry him – but is floored when he learns that she has become engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. When Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees to fill the role… but only so he can attempt to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before it's too late.

A sweet romantic movie.... sometime that make u go "oooohhhhh..." and giggle at the things that a guy will do to woo his bestfriend back. The story seems to be pretty applicable to life. Most guys dont seem to appreciate their female bestfriends as much as they should... They took these girls for granted that they will always be there for him forever... It is only when they are about to lose them then they realise how important has this lady is to him and how much of a place she took in his heart... hmmmm.....

Patrick dempsey is really cute and looks fantastic on this movie.... really charming.... hahhaa... A must-watch movie for patrick dempsey fans and also for girls who have a crash on their guy bestfriend... cos after the movie.... I guaranteed a smile will be on your face that u cant wipe off... and the sweet sweet feeling in our heart that last the whole day and maybe the next too....
