1st for everything...

I woke up at 6:30am today...ya, talk about being jetlagged. I slept in Joce’s room because Emily had her friend over and had to catch an early flight to Thailand (11 days).

But we finally got up around 11pm, where Dav and Ktran came to Joce’s room and we chilled and planned out the day.

"ya i saw the scariest girl on my floor. she looked at me and gave me the scariest 'cut eye'. it was so scary that i had to go back to my room and pray."

Then we went to have brunch.

"lets go for dimsum"
"what??? dimsum for breakfast?? uhhh..."
"um it's like almost 12pm...."
"but dimsum??"
"ya ppl do that, ppl can dimsum for breakfast"
"ya, but i wanted bacon, eggs.........an omelet......................"
"ya ok but, no, sorry, we're in China"

But anyway, we ended up going to the canteen, and Me, Wes, Dav decided to play it safe and had McDs. I had a peppered grilled chicken burger, and it was all shifted to the side—shafted--but it was pretty spicy. Yaaa...ordering in CHinese is hard, so I just ordered in English...and ya...HK ppl's English sucks........bah.

After that, we went to settle rez fees, and then me, Joce and Ktran went to meet up with Demps and Nat. But then we all met together (Dav & Wes) at Mong Kok where me and Ktran bought our cell phones. Haa...yes, I copied Ktran cause I know nothing about phones. But she got a white one, and I, a black. Nothing, new.

Then we went to Watsons to buy some soap and stuff. And then the HKU crew met up with us to have dinner. It was so nice seeing familiar faces. My food today was good :D No shaftedness.

Then we all went to Liu Yan Gai and shopped. It was nuts, so many people, I never shopped so dark at night. I find it so hard to shop there—the pushing, shoving, the bargaining, the aggressive, the desperation, the cheap “foh”. Yaaaa....so sad. But got a scarf and a pair of blue Yoshi slippers.

Then we all tried to bus back to UST, but didn’t know how to get on the “luk waan jai”, and so taxied back.

But today was our first day without our buddies. So quite an accomplishment getting around by ourselves.
