Everyone in the world can satisfy their picky tastebuds in Hong Kong; you get to eat ALMOST everything here... (except for sinister cuisines like eeky tribal-ritualish food - eg. Yak Milk Tea) I've just had ultra-sumptous 9-course dinner @ Times Square Causeway Bay. My favourites were the sauteed lamb chop, lobster baked with cheese and the shark fin soup. The total cost of this dinner was around HKD$3000. That sounds revolting though.
After getting our stomach on the verge of exploding, we had a walk at SOGO again.... well it's just a stone throw away. Bought Ashworths T-shirts + 1 pair of Levi's jeans + 1 Burberry coat for Mum. There was also a 15% storewide discount at Gucci... queued up outside the store waiting... Looks like the store had nothing good to offer. While Gucci was having a continuous flow of curious and discount-raging customers, its neighbouring Prada store was nearly empty! Poor Prada bags being left on the shelves.... Lol.
During the next few days, we spent our time shopping and eating as usual, and also playing with our cute toddler cousin! He's 3.5 years old, yet he's learning lots. Cantonese, English & Mandarin. Wow kids these days are sure busier than we do... I'll be posting pictures of him here.
We are planning to visit Ocean Park next week, and I'm expecting something good, cuz Ocean Park just had a makeover =) Will be blogging soon once I have access to a computer again. =p

My HK Trip Diary : Part 1 - Getting Dim-Summy
Hello !! I'm writing this post right now at my cousin's house in HK =)) For the first 2 days, I've been at SOGO Causeway Bay foraging for new fit-to-wear winter clothings, and my father's really generous about it! Bought Arnold Palmer + Teelocker jumpers for my 2 sisters, which cost over SGD $150+ ..., and I bought a black NIKE sweater @ HKD $485 !! [ will soon post up pictures ]. My HK Gourmet Bonanza haven't really start... just had appetitisers only ^^ Roasted pigeon + the choice of delish dim-sum tibits they have to offer to STUFF YOUR MOUTH! Hahaha... I must really say HK people DO spend alot of $$ on their meals... their breakfast (mainly yumcha time) starts from HKD$200+... If you choose Cafe de Coral / Maxim Restaurants as alternatives will reduce your breakfast expenditure by around 65%... but the taste still remains as good. I had a set meal at Cafe de Coral this morning, which consists of a Norwegian Fish fillet + smooth scrambled egg + thick toast + sausage + Ovaltine @ around SGD $4 ???

Visited Wong Tai Sin Temple, and my family was welcomed by an insufferable bunch of old conner grandmamas... Those old people were loitering around the temple selling the praying peripherals, but apparently the temple has laid a new rule, which stipulates no bringing in of any praying stuff other than those thin joss-sticks. Then we have to discard all the thick candles + incense papers inside the temple's 'sinister collection bin'... I bet the temple must have collaborated with that bunch of scrying old people to garner donation for the temple... or not?!?! Anyway we just treat those 'cheated money' as a form of kind donation to the temple.... LOL!
After lunch @ a restaurant, we went to visit our relatives, and as usual, the adults will engage in their mahjong frenzy, that involves alot of high-decibel yodelling and a smoke-filled living room that resembles an illegal gambling den. No more activities later. Should be doing homework.... SAD!
Future updates: Will be going to Macau for a few days. My father told me that we're going to reside in a so-called 'Grand Venice Hotel'... Wow that sounds majestic enough... I wonder how it will be... YES and also not forgetting about casinos.

I gotta admit that sometimes... I'm overtly expressive. Pardon me for that, ugh... Well... on a happy note, the ever-tormenting PW that sucked out half of my wonderful life is COMING TO AN END !! Yes finish off this idiot and let's do it well! Oh I'm so glad that 1/2 of my life's worst troubles is going to disappear forever.... (the latter is 1 thing that I would rather die than to do it - NS) To further sparkle my post-PW exuberance... I'm so going to HK !! Wahaha~! Gonna literally let my hair down and shop + eat like mad! I don't care if I'm gonna add on anymore sinful weights ! 1 more thing... when I return from HK... I'm going to be Xmas-carolling away @ Parkway Parade from 16 to 24 Dec... Be sure to catch moi fantabulous performance !! Lolx.
