  • A day pretending to be a Tourist in HK

    No idea what to do on Sun, my friend and I eventually decided to pretend to be tourists and tour around HKG 2 famous spots!

    After a brunch at Tsui Wah a restaurant serving HKG local food, we went to the bus terminal at Exchange Square to take a bus to go to Stanely where you can shop at the Stanley Market and have a drink along te pubs and bars and you can also find an old building Murray House whcih  is relocated form somewhere in Central.

    On the way to the bus terminal we saw lots of Filipinos Domestic Helpers spending their  Sun at the Bridges for pedestrians chatting, sleeping eating……etc

    Afterwards we went to take a Tram and went to the Peak, rather than just walk around the Shopping malls and the wax museum we walked up to the top.

    It’s quite an exercise  and we felt a bit hungry therefore we headed to The Peak Lookout Restaurnat and had some early dinner.

    We had aonther walk at the Lugard Road after the dinner and it’s took us 45 minutes to finish, the weather was very foggy, with the yellowish street lights the walk felt like very Misery!

    After some photos taking at the Model Tram we headed back  and I was soo tired that I evenly had a nap on the Airport Express till I got back to the Airport area…

  • after the Cold Sore

    Remember I had a cold sore about a week ago? I was quite sure than  it came becos of my fatigue and the cold weather( together my immune system is lower) in Vancouver.

    Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat, my 6 sense told me that I might have caught a cold. I had a large glass of water and it was so painful when the fluid passing through.  I had my temperature check at once since I had to go to work in the afternoon, luckily it’s normal….

    Got on the flight and worked so hard on this full Biz class cabin, though only 30 passengers, then went for the rest right away. After a couple of hours  returned back to the cabin for my duty and  this headache accompanied me till the end of the flight. Took some pills and went to sleep on arrival   – not a deep sleep means not a good rest. The next day doing nothing but having 2 light meals, the 3rd day  returning back to Vancouver. After an uneventful flight I started to have a nasal congestion once I got home, and this morning a heavy runny nose and sneezing…

    Actually I’m surprised that other than the headache not much symtoms occurred while I was working, but once I’m on ground or after work everything come out….luckily I have 2 full days to rest….

  • Vintage Products

     Browsing the net and found these Vintage Farrah Fawcett  Products, have you ever seen them before? I have, and I did use them…when I was a teenager years ago…..

  • Cold Sore

    Monday night while I was having a shower before getting ready for flight to HKG, I had this tingling feeling on my lower lips, realised that I’m going to have a cold sore. I started to have cold sore since my teens and it comes everynow and then usually 1-2 yrs apart specailly when I don’t have enough rest and usually during winter times…what  most bothering me is…I don’t look good for about a week…other than that it really doesn’t affect me….

    So  I just went out with my friend and spent a half day at Soho/Central  HongKong. We had a lunch at a restaurant called Sup-1 which is run by my ex-collegues, and her friends…serving ….fusion.

    Window shopping around Central including H&M, though didn’t buy anything  it’s  fun to just pick up stuff and try it out at the changing room…..

    Before my friend went for her BellyDancing class at 1830, we went to Dragon-I for a Happy Hour

  • Clubbing….

    Havn’t been to the night scence for .sometimes whether in Hong Kong, Vancouver or even New York, my last time at a dance club was about 2 years ago  at the Celebrity in Vancouver. Last Saturday night  I spent an evening at the Davie(GAY) Village with a group of friends and one of them was actually a visitor from HongKong.

    Had a pasta dinner at the Cafe Luxy a cozy Italian  pasta place..then we head to the 1181 a new bar( at least new to me) to warm up..then we headed to Odyssey a club which I used to go frequently and my last time here was…..hahahah 3 years ago!

    Do I look like I had too much alcohol????hahahaha no……I didn’t even have one sip, just Natural High once with the Dance Music

    And I’m suprised to see around 10 people who I’ve seen in the club over the past 13 years are still around and been told that they love clubs hopping nearly every week-end – how energetic after all these years….

    So how about you, do you like Clubbing?
