...at the end of the day...

so last night, i was feeling super irritated and just...asd;fkljrrrawwwwrrrr
and the feeling lasted throughout the day today...i woke up and it was just like...arggggghhhhh.

so i kept eating.
and celine, i totally agree with you...

"i think food has become something to just indulge in to stop thinking about and worrying about anything"

which by the way, i had to go back to our msn history to look this up. just thought i'd let you know ;)

i didn't even organize my notes today, which was #1 on my mental-to-do-list for today.
but i did do a spending report on Jan & Feb on excel (disastrous by the by). that was basically the most productive thing i did today. i was also supposed to figure out res just cause i thought the app would be up March 1st. but it's actually March 3rd. i also spent a while surfing job sites in singapore. and i was feeling excited yet super overwhelmed at the same time. and then the feeling soon turned into stress. ugh. i don't even have a proper resume yet. so who am i kidding. am i right or am i right.

sighs.
i even passed up on shopping today.

i know this feeling. it happened often at pond. hence me setting the record of watching 16 ep dramas in less than 24 hours...or staring out my window watching cars go in and out of a parking lot until i fell asleep.....and this is why i'm questioning so much on whether i should live on res in 4th year. no doubt about the convenience factor, but i find it so mentally taxing...so many mixed feelings. if you asked me last semester whether i wanted to live on res, i would have said yes in a heartbeat. so it's weird how i'm making this such a big deal. but i dunno, i just............ don't like admitting that i miss home-----and i think this is a huge reason why i've been feeling so emo today.

i miss everyone a;sldkfjas;dlkfajs;ldkarjelkrj;aekla.
i think i even miss my broken bed...(the spring wires have gone haywire).

but ya know what, i thought about this...and after a few simple events tonight...
....bottom line is......I'm in HK guys. this is my getaway and i wanted this sooooo bad. so why the blood am i doing this to myself? i've got a bunch of good ppl here with me, a cool roommate ;), freedom, and the food is more than awesome here, and ya there's school, but i'm right by the waters and mountains.......so come on now.........what more can i ask for. right right? (a bunch of you are probably in shock with all this optimism right now...cause i'm feeling goosebumps as i type this) but seriously, things have been more than all right so far...sooo....i should just appreciate it all. yayayayayayayyaaaaa?

and it's not like i can't talk to the rest of you who are all over the world right now...whats modern technology for right? exactly.

my goodness. totally not how i wanted today's post to turn out...but whatevs. c'est mon blogggggg. asdk;lfajsldkfjasl;kdf

BUT ANYWAYS...things i did today...
msn'ed with a bunch of peeps...
had a semi-fam dinner at Seafront...
watched half of Bucket List...
had a chance to watch the television today due to temporary lock-out of room....there are 12 channels, and about 10 are the same. now i know why ppl don't watch tv in rez. there were like 2 shows on.

oh ya. and good bonding sesh-es today.

see. at the end of the day.......................................it'll all be a-ok :)
i just need to be reminded once in a while.

heh. it's also end of Feb.
so hello March :S

oh and i also dl'ed raymond lam's cd.
nicenicenicenicneinciece

nothing special today.

woke up early to go to 9:30 strat meeting. locals are hardcore with school. ya.

class'ed. ate lunch with Ktran. good food.
class'ed.

then came back to take nap.
then woke up Ktran and Ghor in their room.
chatted.
then Joce came.
then went to APM together.
ate dinner, smallest portion ever. went back to the same restaurant we went to on our first day of HK. yes. the cold noodles place.

came back to UST.
chatted with Ktran, more about her trip. and then walked her through the 2-day concert.
I still love him.
watched the ep on bai fen bai where he explains the concert and his foot.
So I still love him.

but i was feeling very bummy all night.
i don't know. i'm pulling one of those alison koh moodswings again. i stopped smiling tonight :
still very iffy on living on rez in 4th year.
but
ya
after re-watching Xiao Zhu vids with Ktran, i feel better AHAHAHHAA

Ktran is on phone with LC now. cute.

i'm gonna watch OTH. bye bye.

"i feel like schulich...death".

KTRAN'S HOME :D:D:D:D:D:D:D velly hoy sum

woke up at 10:30 to study.
didn't happen.
dimsumed with Em and Joce.
chilled in library then class'ed.
wow, venture capitalists are MAD boring. holy eff.
then went to review class, then PWNAGE. ok fine, so the test wasn't THAT hard, but still, i was planning to do really well so that I can eff the last one. but ...ya, i didn't even do decent. this is what happens when i have high hopes. but i should be used to this.
then ate dinner at 9pm :S
listened to Ktran's wonderful trip stories. funny. but don't ever leave me again. ng goys and ng goys. (ng goys squared). get it? please and thank you. AHHAHA me so good.
then showered, and did assignment.
wow, i haven't written proper ENglish in SOO long. I NO SPEAK ENGLISH. i half-assed the whole thing.
wahtevssssss. it's only for participation marks.

then msn'ed with haesu. wakakakakkakakaa. saranghaeeeeeee umma.

it's now 3 am. but i'm so awake.

i think i need to do some shopping this weekend.
i have no clothes.
but i have 2 assigns to do this weekend. geeze.

i love my lover.
that is all.

"You must study, don't day dream. I know you in love with "xiao choo"."

hmmm...

So i was planning on writing a self-reflection post today.
but i'm way too tired and busy replaying my xiao zhu vids and pics...

woke up at 9:30.
class'ed. went to eat lunch by myself for the first time. i quite enjoy alone time.
class'ed. soo boring.
came back. and took a nap from 4:30 -6. it was such a good nap. i slept at 4am last night...posting pics on fb. so losah.

then studied for a bit. daydreamed. played with my cellphone. ate all my snacks. didn't eat dinner today. i am quite in love with nutella. i used to not like it when i was younger. i found it too hazelnut-y and not chocolate-y enough...but i am quite fond of it now.

then the mother called and gossipped.
and i confessed about going to BOTH concerts. she wasn't mad.
apparently, she already transfered me money yesterday. i just have to wait a few more days to get it.
then she convinced me to go to China during Spring Break. so guess I'm going...

Then ya...
...not much studying done :

Can't stop looking at my pics...

oh ya...caught up on WongFu videos...those boys still as jokes as ever.

And ya...dododo

...and this is why i love UST-ers.

"I bought Johnson ties today"
"Oh, you mean skinny ties?"
"Isn't it an Asian thing?"
"Pssh no. They wear it all the time in Hollywood. Even Justin Timberlake wears them!"
"Oh, and I thought I did a cultural thing today"

"Dude, let's go to Japan during Spring Break"
"Dude, there's no way I can afford it"
"Oh, I read somewhere that it's totally OK for tourists to sleep on the streets"
"Oh ya? K, I'm up for it if we can do it for 10 nights"
"Ya dude, we can so do that. So we're going."

"My friend once stayed over at the UofT library for 24 hours...and then she got really lonely and called her mom and had her mom read a chapter of HARRY POTTER over the phone for an hour"
"........That's cute"

"What was that comment you made about sea urchins in GZ?"
"Oh ya. I said that beavers looked like sea urchins"
"OH EM GEE"
"Yeahyeah. What I MEANT to say was Otters. ya. Beavers look like otters. I just got sea urchins and otters mixed up"

Woke up around 12pm. showered. drank some milo. it's my routine now. had a raisin bun.
Went to class. Finished.
Went to ParkNShop and got me some oranges and Nutella. mmmmm.
Met Joce, showed her my lover concert pics. Went to Seafront for dinner. Then library.
I haven't read a textbook since my last exam at Schulich. Wow.
And I read a total of 2 pages.
But I read Brand's slides. so...ya. I like studying off slides so much better.
Then Ed and Spencer came to study with us, but we just ended up talking.
Then library closed at 11pm and we hit Seafront again for some popsicles and dumplings.
Michael joined us and then we all headed back to rez.

In class, I catch myself smiling at times cause I would have glimpses of Xiao Zhu in my mind.

Sighsssssssssssssssssssss.

What to do.
I got it bad.

♥♥♥ 2: and a little part of me now...dies.

one word: AWESOME.

GUANGZHOU

Friday the 15th
Woke up at 12, packed, got locked out my room again (2nd time now :@), then headed off to Chinese Consulate with Aaron and Ghor to pick up China Visas.
Then met up with the others at Shenzhen border to go to Guangzhou (GZ). YES. CHINA!
It takes an hour by train to go from SZ to GZ. Once we got there, took the Metro to our Hostel. It was actually surprisingly nice and decent. We got 2 rooms, but there were 8 of us, and you're only allowed like 2 ppl per room. So we ended up sneaking the other 4 into the rooms. It worked out well. I had the impression that Hostels were all very sketch, old, had cots...but it was better than a...motel!

"We're staying at the GAY Youth Hostel!!?!??!?!?!"

Then we headed to dinner at like 10pm. Finally settled down at Snake Village, where they were famous for their snake dishes. I think we finished dinner by like 12am. Had snake congee, rabbit stew.....:S I didn't eat either. Took the snake OUT of my congee, and ate the veggies IN the stew. After that, we soon called it a night.

Sat the 16th
Got ready by 10am. Went to get some Chinese buns. We stayed in this area where they had European-style buildings, I think they were left over by the Brits or something. The whole road was filled with little stores that had names like "Jennifer's Place" or "Susan's Place" or "Andy's Shop". They either sold little souvenirs or were laundrymats. We were also by the Pearl River...and the White Swan Hotel...some famous hotel that was super nice. But meh, our hostel was fine too psh.

Then we went to see 2 temples, I don't remember the names. But it was interesting…the huge Buddhas, the amount of ppl…The 2nd temple had this 9 storey Pagoda, and we went all the way to the top and got some nice shots of the view. GZ is nice, but very old and rundown. All the roofs of the apartment buildings were basically...non-existent....and they didn't look very clean at all. But it was still a good view nonetheless due to the height. It was very hard to walk up and down the narrow stairs of the Pagoda. I felt bad for the kids who were 5 feet and above. lol.

After the temple, we went to see a Mosque, but only Muslims were allowed. So we waited outside by the streets, while Ali explored around the Mosque. There was a random wooden chair right by the sidewalk, and we all just “hea”-ed there for a while. There were some Islamic restaurants/shops across the street, where they had chicken, beef, mutton all chopped up and hung in a see through fridge. It was barbaric.

Later, we headed for some Viet food. Mmmmm…pho. Love. And then shopping at Beijing Road! The stores were super similar to Alikoh mall in Mong Kok. But the streets were a lot wider and more spacious. I prefer to not discuss about my purchases. Let’s just say I’m still learning how to haggle and learning it the hard way. Ugh. Whatevs. Then tried some snacks…I forget what it’s called again. The fruits covered in candy ? I’ll ask.

After shopping, we went on a mini-dinner-cruise. We got jipped. Well it was only 50 RMB, but we thought it'd be buffet...cause we walk into the ship, and there were nice buffet table set-ups. And then looo and behold...we all get FUN HAPS. :S:S:S:S It was like airplane food. Bah. Not naaice. But we went up on deck to take pictures. The view was pretty. But my camera...bah, all the night pics are blurry. Oh well.

Later, we headed to two bars. Mmhmmm…it was okay. There were dancers :S The 2nd bar was all right, there was a Filipino singer named Rosell and she was super good and nice. There were some very um…interesting dancing going on in the bar. Crazy men. I don’t think they were drunk either…they were just weird :S.
After that, half of us went back to the hostel to call it a night.

Sun the 17th
I woke up a bit late today, the others went back to visit the Mosque and to get some souvenirs. It was a gloomy day today, and it was sprinkling for a bit….I walked around with Joe in the morning and saw some of the elders doing tai chi, playing hacky-sack and badminton, and kids painting the scenery by the Pearl River. It was nice. Then checked out, and we went off to a museum where the Nan Yue King and his tomb was preserved. Saw the jade silk cast that he was buried in, and stepped into his tomb. Pretty cool, I must say. I’m definitely no museum buff, but it was nice to pick up a few facts today. There were 15 human sacrifices (his concubines, cooks, slaves) found in the tombstone, meaning these ppl were buried...(perhaps alive?) with the dead king. Pretty nuts eh.

After the museum, we went to grab lunch and then headed back to SZ. Went to the mall there for a while to get some DVDs. Haggled again. Ugh. I feel the heat every time I bargain. I feel like I’m about to burst in flames. It’s sooo hard. I think it’s a skill you gotta learn. It’s really stressful and makes shopping so unappealing. Ugh.

Oh well. Got through the borders and ta-da, we were back in HK :D I still love HK. I think I appreciate HK a whole new way after this trip. I love it even more now..more than I already do. We ate at Festival Walk and I had choi and rice :)

Then we headed back to UST and damn, it actually felt good to be back on campus.

In the minibus...

"Um. Who's orange is this? It's rolled all the way to the front of the bus."
"Hmmm...*checks* Oh Shit! My oranges are everywhere!"

I cleaned, sweeped, did laundry today. Sighs.

Overall, the trip was pretty good. 2 days were definitely not enough to see all of GZ, but I think pleasant enough to get a taste. Walking along the streets of GZ was very depressing sometimes. There were so many poor ppl..and kids. A lot of them didn't have hands or feet, and this kid's leg was all rotten and it was just really...sighs. I don't even know where to start...but I guess it really puts things into perspective. There's soo much to be done. I know, crappy way to end the entry. But it just further shows how sheltered...yet blessed I have been.

It's apparently "Family Day" tomorrow in Toronto. Heh heh...

It's also time to start hitting the books...and looking into Singapore.

Sighsssssssss............

V. Day Celebration!!! YAYAYA.

woke up at 9:30am. went to class JIT! Yeh!

then chilled with MinYoung for a bit after class, then went to print slides for class.

after 2nd class, went around the Club Fair again collecting flowers and candies for myself. wahahaha.

"um, can i have a flower? ng goy zee sek. doh jeh."

then i had a mild concussion at this retarded valentines day game. i bumped into MinYoung's head super hard where it started to ring IN my head right after the impact. i think i have a mega bruise cause it hurts like mad.
but i met new local friends. i like locals. they're really cool.
i think i need to meet more, cause my chinese really hasn't improved since I've gotten here. i still can't order food.
i always go "ng goy...meh fan meh choi meh meh meh yeh...okay, jau gum la. ng goy-s"
ahah. ish bad. not good.

then came back to rez. saw Kerk & Joce before they left for the Phillipines. Kerks, it's super lonely right now. geeze louise. come bacccccck :(:(:(

tried to take a power nap. didn't work. met at atrium for dinner with the gang + a few more. haha. we had a group of 17. went to eat Shanghainese @ Hang Hau. and then lo and behold...went back to Green Box to CHEUNG K!!! YAYAYAYA. there were 18 of us by then. fun fun fun. locals are pretty pro at this cheung-ing K business. quite...ya. but it was naaicee. good times. i laaaaike.

took taxi back.
head is in pain :S

i think i need to smile more. not that i don't smile enough. but even more so. the profs here are big on facial expressions. and since i just have that confuzzled look all the time with the help of the eyebrows and whatever else that goes on on my face...they tend to often ask me whether i have questions for them.... :S ya, i'll just have to "siew" more now.

ho la.
fun gao.

P.S. i hate you

just kidding. i just can't think of any other title to write after watching P.S. I Love You.

woke up at 12 PM! gah? Kerk's alarm went off like 15 times, and she kept snoozing it and i just kept sleeping. but we eventually woke up, i had some business to settle, then ran out to meet her for dimsum. Yay. naaice roommie bonding time over some deelish dimsum. i'm so happy you got to eat good food :) oh shoot. MUST PAY YOU.

then i ran off to class. i like 1.5 hour classes. they're so much better than 3 hour lectures. i think more effective too. i actually pay attention. brand was ok. participated. i think prof likes us exchange kiddies. velly naaice.

after class, went around the club booths. wow. 10 times better than schulich clubs. they have games and give out freebies! some were pretty crap though, but still, very festive and colourful and they put so much effort into making the props and setting up games and stuff. neat ideas.

then went off to uni-bar for the exchange/international get together. it was ok. didn't mingle as much as i should have, but met a few new faces. so that was good. anddd ya. i saw an LJ. not gonna lie. there were a lot of ppl i never saw before though!! he must be international. doo doo doo.

then went to Seafront for dinner. i like this place. i think i'll go often. since it's right downstairs our rez anyway. then just "heh"ed there for a while with MinYoung, Ktran, Janet, and Dan. Did some ppl watching, ate sesame tofu ice cream. that was interesting.

"ohhh cute boy!!"
"you mean the boy in black sitting at the table next to the exit door. ya he really is."

AHHAHAHAHHHAHAA.

then saw MinYoung's room. i genuinely think the residences here at UST aren't bad at all. they're all pretty spacious and decent. then came back, took a shower, and went to Ktran's room to watch P.S. I love you. Yah, it was cute. but i was expecting to bawl my eyes out. but no. nada. but Mr. Butler is quite the charmer. sighsssss.

reconnected with HK.

so i woke up at 9:45am. had a 10:30 class. i thought giving myself 10 mins to walk over to class would be sufficient...but um ya. no. was late to class.

we had paper wars in corporate strategy today. it was interesting.
seriously, i don't know what to expect from these courses. i would like to cruise by, but i don't know how probable that is. the stuff we're learning is pretty basic, but then again, we're only 2 weeks in and this is....alison koh. the Queen of Cs. yep. :/

then had lunch with Davs and Ktran. haha. nice convo.

then went back to rez to get my passport, but my card ended up being demagnatized. so i was locked out, until i got help.

then went to Groups & teamwork. except i got lost. wtb. i don't even know how to explain it.
so UST is separated by lifts (aka elevators). my classroom is on the 4th floor of Lift 25-26. but since there were so many ppl taking the elevator, i walked up the stairs. which was right across from the elevator. so i walked up 4 flights of stairs, get there, and i just COULD NOT find my classroom. gah. i felt like i was in another dimension. it was NUTS. i wanted to call ppl in class, but i was already late and i knew they wouldn't pick up.

so i walked down the stairs, and bumped into Tim, and asked where i was. apparently I was in Lift 17-18!!!!?!?!?! WTB!??!?!! SO WEIRD. and i actually walk out of the LIft 17-18 door. so i had to walk all the way back to lift 25-26, and this time, i just waited for the elevator. cause clearly the stairs are possessed. geeze. and got to class late. again.

anyway.

after class, went with Ghoribet to meet Ktran at Hang Hau...to go to Wan Chai to get China visas.
Ktran texts me and tells me Xiao Zhu is at Hang Hau Mall. I went absolutely nuts and got chest pains. she took pics of the screen and i was absolutely devastated. until later, Crystal confirmed that Xiao Zhu was NOT at Hang Hau. BUt the screen that Ktran took pictures of was just a VIDEO.
OH EM GEE.

"are you going to punch me now?"

what is wrong with today.

anyway. after China Visas, visited the squatting toilets. very nice. couldn't pee.
then went to Causeway Bay. shopped. i went mad at Bossinni. finallllllly got a hoodie and some zip ups.

then met up with Joce and Wes for Thai.

"i didn't bring my Schulich agenda because of the time difference in HK"

i think i've come to the conclusion that eating meals in HK won't make you full. there must always be desserts or snacks after. we went to Honeymoon Desserts after, sooo good. it was like..."aw zu bee" in vanilla ice cream with mangoes. mmmmmmm.

then we all went back to UST, even Crystal! yay!

thennnn chillled with Emily Kerklaan.
we must stop eating, kirk.
stop tempting me, kirk.

"ohhhhhhhhh our school's actually on a HILL-hill!!!!!"

"i'm actually very organized"
"you keep saying that"

"it's 4 AM, and i'm drunk, in the common room, making instant noodles. i feel like such a local"

AHHAHHAHA

it felt good to go outside today. good seeing ppl and being pushed and shoved around by the HK-ers. i still love HK =)

happy 21st celine and sunjoo :)

you guys read my blog right? right, lup jai? COME ONLINEEEEEEEEEEE.

today, woke up around 11 something. i forget. the alarm kept ringing. i kept falling in and out of sleep.

showered. dried our laundry. ate instant noodle #2. tried to load some youtube videos. didn't work. joce came by for a minute and shared crackers with me. I CAN'T STOP EATING. HOLY CRAP. THIS IS WORSE THAN BEING AT POND. MY GAWD.

then went to class. i quite enjoy brand mgmt.
then went to Park N Shop to store up on some goods. by goods i mean crackers and bread and chips. walking back from the grocery store to our rez...i finished a whole pack of fish crackers. ya. that's how nuts i am now. AND i think i got just a lil shafted. i bought a pack of 7D mangoes, and all of them are really brown....and like...wet. it's weird. it tastes the same, but it's just nastaay looking.

then ate dinner with a good bunch in the canteen. i wanted octopus, but they didn't have. sad. then had a chocolate sundae. apparently, McDs had mango dipped cones? i think? but how sick is that? but now they don't anymore.

then went back, bummed for an hour until Death Note 2. yeeyeeee. movie was prolonged because a local accidentally pulled out the dvd adapter...and since the dvd player is so ghetto and doesn't FF, we had to relocate and watch it on a laptop. we pretty much love this movie. we watch it in japanese with chinese dubbed at the SAME time. ya. how crazy are we.

ate way too much again. eff.

i think i got a worm.

i got Justin Lo's JTV album. ya. so i like him now.
i shall learn his songs.

i miss cheung-ing K already.
get better soon ktran.

day 2 of bummage

woke up at 1pm.

watched an ep of OTH. i knew Nanny Carrie was a beeeyotch. beeyotch.

then watched 3 eps of Bull Fighting.

ate like no tomorrow.
my snack shelf is absolutely spotless.
yes, this is bad.

ate my first cup of instant noodles today. i should start a count.

then Joe came to bribe me out of my bed with pockies. watched Death Note 1 with a bunch of other exchange kids. yeah, not gonna lie, it's pretty good. geeze. guess death note 2 will be next, and then 3 in the theatres. sighs.

we watched it in Hall I, and coolest thing, they have kids who set up snack stations in the common room, and they stay there from 11-1am just...selling them. we took pics with them. very cool.

back in my bed again. bumming.

my ear hurts :S

"are you dating a hot french guy yet?"
"not yet, unfortunately"
"jump on that....or....just tap it and RUN"

"yo. are there any black ppl in HK?"

"gaaah i feel so sick"
"maybe you'll feel better when you get drunk"

a day of bummage. velly naaice.

woke up at 1:30pm. roommie went shopping, so i bummed in our room the whole day.
ktran called to go eat, so we ate around 4ish...late lunch...
then came back, i handwashed some clothes...
roommie came back and we did laundry together.
then went to eat again with Dav, Sam, and Aurelia...around 8ish.
then mapped out all the assigns, midterms, exams for the next 3 months.
ya, got a hella workload ahead of me.
exams are all consecutively one after another. my gawd. what to do.
then ktran fixed my laptop. ng goy's.
then i put up Xiao Zhu mag pics.
then i bum and bum and bum...

i enjoy bumming quite a lot.

then handwashed some more clothes.

"once my asthma kicks in along with the dry coughs and chest pains, that means i'm getting better"

CNY FireWorks!!!!

Day started super late today.
Me and roommie woke up at 1:15. Then hurried to get ready to meet the others at 2:30 for DimSum. There was 11 of us at Dimsum. Went back to the same place as last time @ Po Lam. Saw the same stupid waitress. Hmph.
Again, placed at a dirty table. Seriously, this place needs to get their act in place. Chehh.

We ate until 4:30ish. Crazy late dimsum.
Then me and Joce walked around the mall for a bit. Then we all headed to TST for the fireworks. Lost a couple of the ppl, but gained a couple new ones. We were walking all over the place trying to find good spots. We ended up sneaking up to a parking garage. I was so worried of getting arrested. But the view was, man, breathtaking. The fireworks were CRAAAAZZZY. absolutely GORGEOUS. It went on for about 20 mins, and i got some good shots and videos. Ahhhh....so good.

Then we all headed for Indian food, at Koh-i-Noor. Ahaha. Ya. Fancy that. Man, i'm so impressed by cantonese speaking ah-chas. BUt ya, going to the restaurant was sooo sketchy. The elevator looked like a prison. It was green, had bars, and a door. it was so strange. But the place was small and pretty decent. Food was ok.

"Gah-lei, sam lau" (Curry, 3rd floor)

Random ah-chas will just shove restaurant ads into your face saying that. It was amusing.

Then us girls headed back to school. Julie came over to do our nails and we watched half of She's the Man. Muahahhahaa. Good times :)

"I don't eat lamb. They're too cute"
"I'm not the funny one in the family. My little sister is. She's such a beggar"
"GUMMMMM GWAAAI!??!?!?! PENG DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"I'll throw my flip flop at his head to make him stop the bus"
"What perfume are you wearing?? Oooh, acccccetone!"
"My mom fired all her employees and hired us kids"
*While demonstrating the coolest wallet ever* : "HA HA HA *pat pat pat* HE HE HE HE"

LOL

now this is all i remember...

CNY Parade!!! Or lack of...

Woke up at 1pm today. Sorry Amy and Ktran for making you both wait.

Went to Hang Hau for lunch at Ho Ho Congee and Noodle.

"Ng goy yut bui yeet cha" (can i have a cup of hot tea)
"Dui ng ju. Mo cha wor" (NO)
"WTF?? Aren't we in China!?!??!?!!"

AHAHAHHAHAA

Then we bummed around the Hang Hau mall at some bread place.
Then went to TST, where we ate again at Sogo.
Then bought snacks. Then walked around for a bit. I seriously wanted to buy so much stuff.
Yah, HK stuff isn't as cheap as i thought it'd be. sad.
Then met up with other UST-ers for the CNY Parade. First they had dinner, but I just watched, cause we literally ate the whole day.

"Ng goy menu ar" (Menu, Please)
"Mo menu" (There is no menu)
"Ng goy dao jeung" (Soya bean drink)
"Mo dao jeung" (no)
"Where's the meen in my wonton noodles????????????????"
"Mo meen gah!!! ONLY WONTON!"

AHAHAHHAHAAH

And the most expensive scrambled egg/shrimp thing.

"NGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GOY mai dan"

AHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAAHAHA

omg. so freakin HIGH-larious.

So anyways. The parade...was...yeah. I couldn't see anything. Bah. Oh well. I saw the tips of the floats i guess. So whatevs. I'll mooch pics off others.

Then bussed back, bought Xiao Zhu's magazine with the mousepad. Except, there are no pictures of him IN the magazine. Bah. But yah. I have so much Xiao Zhu paraphernalia on my desk. wakakakakkaka i love i love.

Sighs.

There were so many ppl at the parade and in the MTR today.
HK is seriously infested with humans.

Fei Teen and Bosco!!!!!!!

Dropped off Amy at the bus stop, went to class, then went to Causeway Bay with Crystal and Ktran to meet up with Amy.

"I touched my lover okay"
"Well........I hugged your lover"

PWNED.

Ate Jap food. except not really. cause i had curry seafood "chao fan".

Then walked around Times Square for a bit. Really nice. Good stores. I must spend a day in Zara one day. But yes I know, there's Zara in Toronto. But psh. Just let me.

Then headed over to Tsuen Wan for the CHinese New Year TVB countdown. There was Leo Ku, Ho Yee, Ah Jeh, and other ppl's names who I don't know. Ktran and Crystal stayed for Leo...while me and Amy wandered to find food. But then we ended up in another mall where we saw Wu Hang Yee (Myolie) and Bosco and other ppl I don't know (who's this band...Rednoon????). Hins Cheung was suppoed to be there, cause his face was on the board, but we didn't see him. But yaaaaaa....Myolie was sooooooooooo tall and skinny. Gaaah. And Bosco was so funny and cute. Took a bajillion pics. I was going nuts.

But they didn't do the countdown at this mall, so we went back Citywalk...and did the countdown in the rain. I saw Leo Ku through the screen. Um. Yay. ANd then there was like...2 seconds of fireworks. And then done.

It was like 12:30 am and we were running back to the MTR, thinking that it closed at 1am. But ya, turned out the subway was running for 24 hours today. So, yes. So losah. But whatevs. Ppl must have thought we were so weird running and sprinting in and out of the stops.

Anyway. then came back. and ya. so happy :D

I love famous ppl.

...

Tues Routine.
Class, then break, had lunch with Ktran and Dav. Then class again.

Then Amy's arrival.

Brought her to Mong Kok for dinner and walked around Liu Yun Gai.

Then came back, and slept.

Hah, what a day.

CNY Night Market

On Mons and Weds, I start class at 2pm. It's pretty sweet. But ya, today's Entrepreneur class was brutal. Prof is European, but MAD boring. The course sounds like MGMT 1000...so...b-plan anyone? eff.

Brand Mgmt was all right considering we have a prof that goes by "Don't Rush Me", minus the "don't". But she seems pretty cool. The course doesn't sound easy, but it seems like you'll be able to learn a lot.

Finished class early at 4:30, then left shortly after to meet up with Nat and Sunny at the Chinese New Year Night/flower? Market. It was pretty cool. Good food, interesting products (durian flavored condoms?!!??!?! wtb), lots of good luck orange trees, flowers, plants that make you have babies, and an insanely MASSIVE crowd of ppl. I couldn't see half of the booths because ppl just kept pushing and shoving and they were all in my way. but very naaice. for some reason, i kinda wish my family was there. ew.

then we ate Choi for dinnnner. wahahahahaha. i luff choi.

then passed by Causeway Bay, and I was soo tempted to go. but no. another time.
i really miss shopping by myself. once i am more familar with the city, i am definitely going shopping by myself. gaah, the malls here are just soo big. sighs.

then came back to UST. tried to sort out my disastrous life. failed miserably. i think i'll just stick with the 4 present courses. the chances of swapping into another mktg or mgmt course are close to none. i can't believe how many midterms and exams and individual assigns there are. my goodness. i feel like i'm in yorkland.

and guess what! I found Xiao Zhu's album! it was just stuck with other stuff in my purse. his autograph is a bit scratched up. but it's ok. he still touched it.

i kind of wished i was in Singapore for CNY. apparently, everything's going to be closed in HK...even on campus, only McDs will be opened. geeze. i want home foooood and..........perhaps a 红包 or two? he he hehh hehehh.

ay.

i luff K.

day started out late. me and roommie both slept in till 1PMish. got a call from Ktran to meet up for DimSum.

"My glasses keep tickling my ribs. I don't understand this pocket! I'm taking them out. No, in fact, I'll just wear them!"

went to Po Lam for food and met up with other USTers.

So bitter about stupid waitress at the dimsum place.

*POINTS* "LEI JOR WORRRRR" PSSSSSSSSSSSSH.

******CUT EYE CUT EYE CUT EYE CUT EYE*******

hai ng hai seeen dai LOHHHH. eeeesh.

horrible service. i don't know if it's cause we looked young or whatnot. we get placed at a DIRTY table, and it took them a hella long time to clean. and retarded lady serves us tea first @ a dirty table, like wtb. yao mo gao chor.

but anyway.

then went to Mega Box..where they went skating, and i walked around the mall. so many things i wanted to buy. found my purple high tops, but the smallest size was a 40. so disappointed. saw a couple of sweaters i liked, but after the poor purchase i made a few days ago, i refrained from buying.

then we went to sing K. fun fun. my voice is definitely shot and now i'm coughing profusely.

got back to UST by 1:30AM, and now i'm sucking on Ktran's cough candy to shut myself up.

i'm very sad because i think i lost Xiao Zhu's autographed album book. i can't find it anywhere. i think it might have dropped out of my purse. what to do. i feel like tearing as i type this. soo looosah :(

buddy day.

woke up early to buy textbooks with Crystal today.

then went to Buddy Day around 10:30am.

went to Stanley Market and Causeway Bay ... but left right away after cause it was pouring and it was super cold. what a horrible day to go on a tour. i really wanted to see the peak, but i guess another day. but i met some of the local buddies, and they were all really nice and funny.

came back to UST, webcammed with Umma, Celine and Juff. :( i got really sad after, i don't know why.

then met up with the other USTers around 9pm, headed down to Mong Kok. ended up going to Hiu Lau San again for velly velly good mango dessert. so good. lovelovelove.

then we end up loitering around, not singing K cause it was expensive.

came back to UST and called it a day.
i ate bread at 2am.
and finished all my snacks.

and now i'm snackless.

I'm really running out of titles to write.

"When I was 14, I ran my own webhosting business. It got to a point where there were too many customers and I couldn't handle it. So I sold the business to someone else."

"When I was 14, I played with mud and shot ants in my backyard with my water gun."

Pwned.

Woke up around 1PMish. Bummed. Showered. Then bussed to Mong Kok to meet Crystal. We went to some mall where they sold CDs and posters and I was supposed to buy lots of Xiao Zhu posters for my wall, but um, ya, apparently, HE HAS NONE. So. Sad. So. We went to Hau Lan Shan? to get mango drinks and loh but goh? (Yea...chinese pin yum isn't going so well).

Then went to Lang Ham Place and shopped for a bit. I seriously need to stop spending money. Must only buy food. Gotta lay off the clothes for a while.

Then met up with the other Schulichers for Fiona's belated bday dinner. It was nice seeing everyone :) Got back my Xiao Zhu autographed album. SWEET.

Then came back to UST with Crystal, bummed, then went to Ktran and roommie's room to watch a movie.
