Home Sweet Home 3 days

20th December - A long awaited day. It was BALIK RUMAH time !! Early morning around 7am, I happily brought along all my luggages and souvenirs, took a bus from my hall and head towards HK airport. My flight was at 10.50am, I had my breakfast at Mc D before boarding on the Air Asia airplane. Spent almost 99.9% of the 4 H sleeping...... Finally at 3pm, I arrived at LCCT, met with my sisters after my absence for 4months !!

Purposely chose to come back on this date it was my younger sister- Amy's birthday. Taste back some local food like curry lamb, fried ikan ??, malay kuih muih, teh tarik..... At night, we went to The Ship STeakhouse for dinner, I miss their escargot so so much !! Back home, we celebrated Amy's birthday, having the X'MAS tree as the background, we took a lots of photos. Also, I presented her with 3 presents from HK. I think she must be really happy, so do I.

21st Dec - My elder sister, Alice brought Amy and I to Sunway Pyramid to sing K @ redbox and had steamboat as brunch. Really enjoy the time back with them, singing K, snapping photos, chit chatting, shopping and makan-makan. At night, I got to taste my mummy's home cook food... Yummy !! Gonna miss them a lot when I go back HK.

22nd Dec-It was winter solstice festival, glad that I din;t miss it this year. Woke up early morning to go market with my mum, bought curry laksa as my breakfast XD. While I will leave char keow teow, asam laksa, har mee to be tasted in Penang. Evening, went for an hour badminton game with my sisters near our house. At night, aunties, uncles and cousins came and had dinner together, ate lots of Tong Yuen... hahahaha, about 30 biji?kakaka

23rd Dec- Had an outing with my cousins and their childrens. Four kids and a baby, plus 6 adults. We went to Mid Valley as we knew the X'mas decoration there are awesome. Those kids were crazy about those giant sized bears and kept asking for taking photos. The cute little baby boy was happy "gai gai-ING" also. He is really chubby and cute. =) We had our lunch at Yuzu Japanese Restaurant @ Garden.

A month of suffering

Wow... I just realised my last post was more than a month ago.... Haiz, thanks to "second mid terms" and final....

Today, I am officially done with my semester 1 in HKU. Overviewing this month, my driving force to move forward is that I will be reuniting with my family back in Msia very very soon.
This time has not been easy, other than the torturing revision, I somehow stopped my stars-chasing activities.

Within this period, I tried cooking laksa for the first time, tried personal steamboat set from more than three different restaurants with Angel, got my hepatitis booster dose, presentation x 2, completed a poster which is being printed out nicely and published in a very obvious and sharp location. Went SOGO and bought lots and lots of stuff for my sisters. Discovered a very mouth-watering Ngou Beng 牛餅 shop just in vicinity.

Nov 15, the day before I sit continuously for three final in three consecutive days, severe pain in wisdom tooth strikes. OH MY... It was so painful and I just don't understand why it bother me at that "right" time. Wanted to seek for dental consultation but was full and need to wait until the next day, so I ate panadol to relieve my pain, and it works ! Thankfully, yet, the day after I went to see dentist, and had a X-ray scan on my wisdom teeth. T.T all of them are growing sideways, no more rooms for them la in my gum.... I might have to cabut all of them T.T
How painful it will be !!! I know it must be very very painful, but I dare not imagine...
The dentist seriously advised me to cabut the outcoming one....haiz...

Anyway, let's only bother about this later ! After exam finished, went to Mong Kok with Angel to sing K(HKD 85+18) for 4H sing K + brunch buffet. Since only HKD18, so we added the buffet. It was super worth. Lots of food and drinks... again, it seems like I ate and drank a bit too much and ended up again with over bloated stomach and caused unplesant feeling again... Ouch...

SHop around in Mong Kok, bought my first boots only cost HKD 150, cheaper than in Msia.
Also bought bedsheet, iphone cover...etc...Went to Langham Place to have a look at their X'mas decoration which is of Hello Kitty theme.

It is 2.13am now, why am I still awake? Cuz going for "morning" tea very soon, at 2.30am
Good morning !! XD

Starr Fest Day 2 - Singing Competition - After days and nights of praticing, we brought our awesome performance on stage. Para para sakura, telephone, Sorry Sorry, Sha Long.....
Nice one, I personally think. But unfortunately, other units attracted audience much more due to their costume and props...

Starr Fest Day 3 - Mass game - Don;t feel like taking part cuz is playing water.. So I went to Causeway Bay after helping to pack souvenir for HKU Info day ( paid HKD40 per hour !!). Very rush, I reached TimeSquare and bought a movie ticket, then walk directionlessly to SOGO, helping my sister to get some biscuit she want from Japan. But I managed. XD

The food we were selling is actually some mash potato with different prawn rice crackers... So special...XD Also, we sold beef cube satay, and crysanthenum drink. I enjoyed some chicken satay and red bean mochi from other stalls, but some other food is too expensive lar..=(

30th -
Right after HTD, me , Angel and Alyssa took a bus to mONG kOK. Guess what? We going for midnight K session from 1am to 6am !! We got down at Mong Kok and walked all the way down to Yau Ma Tei. Along the journey, only I realised how "wonderful" is this place at night, along Nathan Road. Lots of stall selling tasty food, drinks and snacks.. We bought some and eat and I tried a TofuFa with red bean...for HKD 8.. Regret cuz after that, they finally found their desired dessert shop - Xu Liu Shan. Very nice leh their drinks !! So then, is the K session... Well, I only selected less than 10 songs within the 5 hours.. But I sang a lot, cuz I knew how to sing most of the songs they picked. Lots of S.H.E's songs and some canto songs too, thou 2 of them are from mainland. Have fun singing with them, we get closer to each other by then =). There is even a computer with free Wi-Fi access, whereby I can open my fb while waiting for song switching..XD
Ordered 4 special haloween drinks...n 2 coffee for them..
Left at 6am, we walked around and had breakfast at Burger King. Nice croissant with bacon !
Then, took bus back to hall.. It was about 7am when we reached back.I slept for a while, supposingly I have to gather at 8am in campus for Info day helper work. After some time, I was waken up my a phone call, from unknown people, asking me where I was. I replied "Hall". He asked if I had forgotton about Info Day this morning !! OMG, I was late for 20 mins!!,I overslept !! The stupid alarms were set muted !! T.T
This is really bad, terrible impression to them, I think I won;t be able to get any job from HKU next time =(.
Back about I day, I was working at the booth near Haking Wong Podium, a popular entrance to HKU. officially started working at 10am, quite some visitors already arrived by then. My job is mainly mingle around and offer help for direction to visitors, distributing leaflets and promoting talks.... Very tiring..... Repeated saying the directions to many places, I think at least 100 times !! LOL
Had free chicken rice for lunch. Afternoon, the flow of visitors declined significantly. Not as much people came as expected.. They thought there won;t be enough souvenir for everyone, but indeed, at last, we desperately giving aways the souvenir and leaflets, even to those who already got it.... Terrible.. Lastly, making the visitors to fill up survey form was a tough task too.
Exhausted....

31st-
Trip to Mong Kok with Heather after 1pm. We grabbed some tacoyaki, nice drink from Xu Liu San, fried squid and bacon sausage satay there.. Yummy... But oily and fatty...=(
Then, we went into our destination - Mong Kok Centre & New City.. A shopping paradise? Or some commented it as the "Forbidden City"... Some stuffs are cheap, but not all lar.. Just that there are so many choices and beautiful clothes, shoes, bags... you just can't resist the temptation of bringing back home ! Bought myself some clothes, a shoe and a K-zone bag !! Happy but sad... err .. Sad just because really spent too much lar.. how leh.. Also, finally bought Lam Fung Concert DVD, but I not gonna let myself watch it now or next week, 2 mid-terms coming leh !!
No dinner today, had a really full lunch...

I brought her Jay's T-shirt and key-chain that I bought for her last time. She brought me to a shop for lunch, I ordered WuXi pork rib noodle n soya bean drink.. HKD 33... I don't like their noodle, but pork rib is ok lar..

first visit to post office and Hebe concert ticket

On tuesday, I walked all the way down along a quiet and strange road, heading towards the Post Office at Kennedy Town. Then I realise I did not prepare envelope for the documents, so I first went to buy envelope. Posted Alice's favourite dress back to her. Then go for lunch in a Vietnam restaurant.

Friday, attended Science Student Ambassador interview. Heather bought me a bun as I don't have time between my classes and the interview. After that, I rushed to Wan Chai to collect Hebe's ticket. After hunting for the place for some time, I finally found Wow music office, which is so near to where I was. Bought a new mouse from digital centre, however I regret. It cost me HKD 89 for just an ordinary looking microsoft optical mouse. I rather pay HKD 10 more for a cute melody mouse which I bought for my sis sometime ago in Olympian City !
Haiz...

Unit HTD and star chasing

Weekdays were dull.... I don't have much appetite for food. Tried the re-opened Ho Tim for tea-time, the fish fillet is so nice, with Japanese sesame dressings plus red bean ice ! Tuesday tried a restaurant at Sai Wan, hkd 30 for a full set, quite nice !

Friday, we had our unit high table dinner at Traders Hotel. It serves as a reunion gathering with ex-unitmates. However, I din't get to know any of them. The food was so so, for the price HKD 200, so not worth it.

Saturday, I went Olympian City with Sharon, to chase after the group of TVB artist from the latest drama,讀心神探. Din't manage to get close to Bosco, however did get autograph from Matthew Ko and another new actress. Took photo with Matthew and Chan Siu Bong, they were nice =). I had a autograph pen which is gonna be with me all time when I chase after more stars later.

Back from there, I received a call from unitmate asking me to join them cheering for Starr Hall in the interhall aquatic meet final. I took a minibus to Stanley Ho Sports Complex for the first time, Starrians lady aquatic team was awesome !! They grab most of the top 3 placing in several events. About 7pm, results were announced and there was prize giving ceremony. Starr Hall lady team won champion for the first time in 10 years!!! Feel so proud and happy for them. As a reward for our support, we got a special made champion Tee shirt to wear on for photo taking and dam cheering.

Sunday, called heather to dine with me at Ho Tim. Met with Zoe and Phoebe from Taiwan, according to them, the food from new Ho Tim are nice. We shared the satay beef rice, true, it tasted well.
