...................................
After all my classes and long wait for daddy, finally at around 5pm, I get to meet with him, he was coming from Guang Zhou that day. I brought him to my hall and then we went for dinner at Westwood. Ate hairy crab !! each for HKD 58. But the other 2 dishes were so expensive, more costly then the crabs, not worth at all ! So touch to meet with daddy after so long T.T
Happily received "gifts" from home and some snacks.

Nov 13th - Went causeway bay again with Angel !! XD this time is to shop at SOGO as well, cuz yesterday onward is SOGO anniversary sale. First had lunch at an Indian restaurant. Waiter there was an Indian guy, very nice to Angel, we had some friendly talk with him. Even showing each other's I/C. XD Demanded for a "spicy" curry lamb rice, cuz in the menu they emphasize it is "Not spicy" ...lol Hongkongnese beh tahan pedas la...
Then, we went into Sogo, queued !!! Bought Melody cushion for HKD 70 LESS (only HKD 40) for my sister, and then bought 2 special gifts for my little sis too... XD
For myself, I only bought a shoe, I think is branded one, cost me HKD 168 after discount.

Nov 14th - As planned, we went sing K at Wan Chai. This time, beside Angel, Heather came along too after I persuading her with a single SMS ...XD (easy job? or m I too influential?)
However, 3 of us only get to sing 2H =( so not enough...

After that, feeling guilty, I asked to leave and rushed back to hall, to start doing my work and revision =(

26th -
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...

27th-
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

28th-
Starr Fest Day 4 - Bazaar - Only back at around 7++ after packing, so din;t get to help out our unit's preparation of food. Our team is "Hush"/"Harsh". Means "Prawn" and "Potato" in cantonese. 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..=(

29th -
Starr Fest Day 5 - The event for last day of Starr Fest was the High Table Dinner. Rushed back after my Bio lab class at 6.30pm, very very rush. Yet, when I reached my room, they aren't ready to leave as well... Wasted my effort of running so so so quickly and felt as thou I gonna hav a heart attack soon... Wore my newly brought dress from HK G2000, simple but nice =), the dress XP
Sat beside Dhanika and next to Simona, nice chatting with Dhanika about some advices on coping with studies, about some issues related to Malaysia as well... Know better about her =) She is so nice.. hehe

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...
