fragrant harbour

here i am sitting in rie's office, sharing a chair with her.. in the middle of kowloon... with a breathtaking view overlooking the harbour.. *swoon*

got in last night real late.. rie had to wait for me for almost 3.5hours?? didn't know what i was getting myself into. so i've resolved to never doing TWO things ever again:

1. NEVER check in early. (my theory is... you check in early, your baggage gets chucked so far inside the plane it takes aeons to get out at your destination.........)

2. NEVER say okay to a window seat AFTER the guy at the check-in counter mentions it's at the back of the aircraft AND that you'll be sitting within/surrounded by a tour group. (especially when it's say..... a flight to hongkong... where "tour groups" refer to not only a big group of humans but a big group of NOISY, CHATTY, LOUD-MOUTHED, CANTONESE-SPEAKING humans......)

didn't help that the headphones were giving me an earache.... sigh.. well. at least i got to catch music & lyrics without having to pay a cent? haha.... "...pop goes my heart..."

perfect for those looking for cheesy. and brainless. and hugh grant or drew barrymore. :)

what luck. as rie so aptly put in an email to her friend... i "got the shits" after just ONE lunch in hongkong.. my FIRST meal. and in a respectable-looking little place too... maybe my body's REALLY breaking down? but lucky for me.. we were awfully close to her office (we're permanently awfully close to her office. she lives across the road from it.....) so i got to use a nice clean toilet... albeit.. male.. cos her colleague took the key to the ladies.. :p

so paul, i guess it's alright that i DIDN'T bring along SureClean.. :p oh! but rie has one in her bathroom at home!! so i guess we'll carry it along when/if we go to shenzhen this weekend... :) so. finally. been meaning to put this up for a while but keep forgetting.. :p

for people who have an aversion to smelly, dirty toilets (WHICH i hope refers to EVERYONE i know and who visits this blog... i like to think my friends are all hygienic, clean-toilet-conscious people....) you guys can check out http://www.sureclean.com.sg

feels like i'm walking on the set of any one of the many hongkong drama serials i've watched when i'm walking down the road... :) feels almost surreal... keep thinking i might bump into any one of the many hongkong stars i watch on cable at home.. ahhaha... :p though.. i'm thinking maybe i won't have much luck... rie used to live on the same street as ANDY LAU and for months she never even caught a glimpse of even his back... only heard from the newsstand guy that andy lau's parents go there to get their news..... so wish me luck with the star-hunting.

alright... think maybe it's time i left rie's office to brave the mall next door. :p wanna take a look at nice t-shirts..

holidays are great. a necessity.

finally. on my long-awaited holiday.

PLAN:

1. learn cantonese songs!!!

2. eat lots of new stuff... as long as my tummy holds out..

back to the plan then. :) ciao.
