This is prawn graveyard, only 12 prawns..but I swear I will eat more the next time around..plus it's so cheap, only 4 sing dollars for like 15, ahhhhh 小肥羊 steamboat.

Merry christmas everyone! I am back from hong kong of course. The trip was..quite okay I would say, I would go again, but I think I'd want to go with friends haha, I still need to go to some cold country with ephraim and to choo's house in malaysia. It was pretty much sight seeing on the first 2 days or so, and shopping from then on, with the occassional disneyland and ocean park in between. There's not much sight seeing to do in hong kong, giant buddha, cable car with glass floor, nice big buildings. Sight seeing is done more often in restaurants and shopping malls.

I love the food in hong kong, it's not THAT cheap, but it's quite reasonable I guess, maybe because I'm not the one paying o.o but even very normal places can serve good food, like the cha can tings, which I expected to see very much of but actually turned out to be quite elusive unless you know where to look.

Shopping was..the best of times..shopping was the worst of times. There's plenty of cheapER stuff there, but cheaper does not necessarily cheap, like, after half price it can still be 100 bucks, all the branded outlet stores with nice stuff that I can see and touch and cannot buy. Then there's 女人街 with all the "copy" items as they call it, yes, the stall owners actually tell you that they are selling "copy bags" and "copy watches". They have nice stuff that I can and can touch and can buy but will never buy, but good thing the actual stores around there are like hong kong queensway.

Disneyland and ocean park were not as exciting as I thought they would be, but still fun nevertheless. The only thing worth riding in disneyland was the space mountain, which was mildly exciting. Ocean park had 2 roller coasters, one of which was not very fast but had longer drops, and the other one which was faster and went upside down(for a split second only) and hardly had any drops o.o abyss was fun though, higher than the one I took in japan, plus I got to look at people in the other tower sitting right opposite me waving at me and then suddenly plunge down. And I didn't get any abyss related sicknesses yay. We stayed for the nightly fireworks in disneyland, and it was quite amusing to see this couple standing in the middle of the street leading to the exit making out and blocking everyone's way when hordes of people were rushing out immediately after the fireworks had ended.

I would say one of the best parts of the trip would be meeting up with(part of) the chats peeps. Alex, ben chin and I met up with hilda and iris at times square to wait over an hour for a table and random running around and taking neoprints haha. The thing was that, it felt really surreal seeing them again. Like, I was pretty much sure that on that early morning when we woke up to send them off, it would be the last time I would ever see them again. When I was standing there waiting for alex before meeting up with hilda and iris, I saw hilda run down the escalator, and I knew it was her, but then again I could not believe it was her, so I stood there and stared. Haha, it was a lot of fun meeting them again, but, walking out of the restaurant, it felt exactly the same, if not worse.

I'm not feeling exceptionally happy on christmas, I'm alright with it not being very special, since we don't really celebrate it, but I'm feeling really empty again all of a sudden for I don't know what reason.

There's this group or page or something on facebook, that goes something like I want to talk to you but I don't know what to say, and I want to talk to you but I'm not starting first or whatever, I know that's not right but I'm too lazy to check. In real life, when you're with someone, it's okay to not talk, and enjoy each other's company. But, us being students, we can't possibly go out everyday, most of the time we're just, talking online or smsing. It is said that true friends can meet, not say a word, and leave feeling that it was the best conversation they had ever had(from Jim), but, if you go online, say hi, the other person says hi, and you stone, not knowing what to say next, then you say stupid things, and you wish that you never started the convo at all. And then there are times when you have your cursor highlighted over someone's display name, and wondering whether you should double click it at all. But then again, sometimes the best friends are those that you can not talk to in who knows how long, but when you see each other, you can talk like you've known each other forever.

I have a lot of stuff to do that I'm not doing, clean my room, research paper, find album art so that my itunes will look nice, READ and EXERCISE. Usually I have to write stuff down so that I'll force myself to do it, but you know you need to clean your room when you can't even find the book you're supposed to write in to remind yourself to clean the room.

But..I shall do some things tomorrow, cut my hair, watch it might get loud and sunshine cleaning, and hopefully clean my room.
