after i finished typing my last entry. i noticed something very glaring abt it. that post was doing a big big injustice to HK! i barely talked abt it! am jus too distracted by des during the trip. nevertheless, i am gg to make up for it now, leaving des totally out of the picture!

1st of all, i'm gonna state the obvious 1st. Hongkongers realli walk very fast!!! but the rumour abt them walking so fast tt they bump you deliberately is not true leh. at least i didn't get tt. even if i did, they alwaes turned ard to apologise. tt is not so bad wat!

another thing is, u kno how nowadays we have been taught to stand on the left side of the escalator and leave the right aisle for ppl to walk through? Hongkong has the same practice and wow, they are realli conscientious at it! they keep by tt rule religiously and it realli makes it so much more convenient for everyone. even when they are at the platform waiting for the train, they also line up in an orderly manner! even waiting for lifts, they line up too!! how come Singaporeans can't be like tt?? Super kiasu lo, realli!

speaking of their MTRs, wa lao. i love their trains! they are so convenient, the routes are so easy to understand, and they take me everywhere! all in all, i only spent abt SGD80 on transport there! there was no need for taxis. i wud not wanna b in one anywae, their traffic is quite congested too!

it was summer when i went to HK. however, on the 3rd day, we ran into the typhoon 8 warning. if u dun oredi kno, typhoons are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the mildest, 10 being the strongest. so a Typhoon 8 warning was pretty serious. when the signal sounded across the country, all the students were told to go home, and all offices and malls closed to allow their staff to go home before the typhoon comes. was super drama lo! 1st time i witnessed HK streets free of ppl! the typhoon 8 signal merly lasted for about 3 days.. after tt, the signal warning dropped to no. 3. apparently the last time HK was hit by a no. 8 typhoon was in 2004. stuff fell from buildings and smashed cars all. well i kno it is not very nice to say this but i actually was looking forward to witnessing one of these. hee.

i kinda sidetracked from wat i wanted to talk abt. so i was saying, it was summer when i got there. and i realised something very very strange, which my sister agrees too. Hongkongers can't dress for nuts in Summer! u kno how they all look so cool in their layers during winter.. summer is a totally different issue! all of them look so.. "lok-kok"!! i dunno why! nex time i haf to go in winter!!

and i realli think the thing abt good-looking ppl in HK is over-rated. I SAW NONE! i mean, dun talk abt those in clubs la, they are models! those on the streets.. wa lao. dunno where all the good-looking ppl's gone to! disappointing man.

it's weird how at any time of the day, it is alwaes ppl mountain ppl sea in the streets. on a monday afternoon, dun ppl haf to work?? NO! they are walking ard with frens, talking and laughing, shopping and eating. so weird! even in business districts! other than the day of the typhoon 8 warning, every other day it was jus ppl, ppl and more ppl on the streets! i cudn't get used to it at 1st, it gave me a headache. but by the 2nd day, i jus kinda blended in la. became one of those ppl who wud walk damn fast, as if i am in a rush. yes, to the next shopping mall. hahah.

celebrity spottings. NONE. but fiona got lucky, she was with her frens, waiting for me in a club called HALO. guess she had for company, sitting beside her..? DANIEL WU! haha.. she sms-ed me to tell me to hurry over but i am no big fan so i didn't. if only it was edison or alex fong, i wud realli run over! :p

when i was in hk, i only bought stuff from one place. H&M! they've got nice stuff, and prices are very very reasonable (does not mean cheap ok!) it is like topshop, very chic stuff, but way more reasonably priced. i was in HK for abt 8 days.. i went there 5 days in a row! hahaha! can be spokesperson oredi.

and everyday when i wake up, i wud go yum-cha with my sis and her bf, then go shopping. super tai-tai lifestyle man! was realli having a blast with my sis and her bf. nv thot they wud make such good travel companions!

i am looking forward to my nex trip, hopefully i will get a chance to go back to HK soon.. as u probably haf realised.. i didn't manage to go to my ocean park and disneyland. :( super disappointed but no choice, it was rainign evry other day and it jus made it impossible for us to go. nex time, i swear, i will go!!

gonna start planning for my nex trip for end of this year.. haven't decided where to go.. but will probably be one of the asia countries still. i love asia. :) maybe Beijing.

or back to taiwan. :)
