sanshu and family came to see our house. and we chatted for a while. =) then later it was time i use the computer to catch up on my love is beautiful vcds. previously before moving, i watched until episode 24. so today i chionged 6 episodes to finish it. finally finished it. a nice show with a nice ending but a trashy last part. everything was fine even during the part where the goddess of mercy made ling wan look beautiful again and everyone was happy. the worst part was when ALL THE CAST (not including those who died) turned their heads to the camera and said in unison “hao xin you hao bao” (kindness begets kindness). wah lao. at least for family man it wasn’t that bad coz it was only paul chun who did that in the last episode. but with the whole cast saying that is ridiculous. hahahah.

typing all these on word today. heh heh. hope next time i can post these up asap.

tomorrow is dear mariane’s birthday. and its time that i archive my entries. but i cant access them la. haiz.

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY AH MIU!

30 july 2005, saturday
went to the woodlands library to print my timetable and notes. but the cock up printer could only print the first page of every document. wasted my money. papa found the cable and the tv was set up in yongjie’s room. yay! tv after how many donkey days. yeye, popo and gujie came to see the new house and we had dinner too. hahha first time we used the stove and all to cook. previous days we bought food from outside to eat. yongjie was eager to set up the computer, and soon he got it all ready but there was no internet connection. and i couldn’t use it until sunday coz he said he wanted to use it first. so mafan. sailo needed to use it for his homework, apparently during that one-week holiday he didnt do any homework coz we were moving.

29 july 2005, friday
grace is in the same module as me for CS101. but yunxin wasn’t going and grace didn’t feel like going. so in the end i didn’t go. papa, yongjie and i went to ikea and plaza parkroyal to buy furniture. i didn’t know that plaza parkroyal has so many furniture shops. all along i thought it was just a hotel. hahah it was the hotel that raymond lam and all stayed when they were in singapore. anyway we bought yongjie’s table, sofa, papa’s wardrobe and bed frame at plaza parkroyal. then we went back to causeway point and i bought my table. yay! but not the glass table, i bought the frosted glass one. hahaha. papa tried to connect the tv but we couldn’t find an important cable so there was nothing on tv.

28 july 2005, thursday
yimyiu had successfully been transferred to business. haiz ive got lesser people to accompany me to school now. mdm wee messaged me that i wasn’t in the college day list coz….. mr ng didn’t put my name down while she was on maternal leave. what the hell. and now that mdm wee is finding out for me, he has already left vj. haiz i expected it. mr ng doesn’t really like me. never mind la, not that i cared about the stupid award anyway. still no tv. second day without tv. how can i ever live with that?!?!? went back to pasir ris to pack the remaining items.

27 july 2005, wednesday
moved house. everything was in a mess when we moved all the things. couldn’t find a lot of things and we were all frustrated. yongjie and i couldn’t get used to the new home, and yongjie cried and had a row with papa. i cried too but not as hard as yongjie. coz i can understand it better. the time that i went hk, i had the same feelings. i tend to miss home a lot. no tv and no computer.

26 july 2005, tuesday
went for my first lecture which lasted for only half an hour instead of two hours. i crashed yimyiu and khaiyan’s CS107 lecture. wah luckily i am not in that module coz the lecturer looks quite fierce. we got lost while locating LT11. coz it was at the north spine. haiz.

my last day in pasir ris. the last time i watched tv in the comfort of my home. the home that i stayed in for 15 long years. i miss my house. =(

25 july 2005, monday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EILEEN!

first day of school. the previous night i only slept for 3 hours. coz i couldn’t sleep. haiz everytime when school reopens or there is a big event the next day, i just cant fall asleep until late into the night. went to school with meiqi and yimyiu. then met up with yunxin, and later joined linzhi and khaiyan for the ceremony. a boring ceremony it was. but the organizer in the goody bag was nice. woah we were very hungry even before the ceremony, and the ground floor had the buffet stuffs. so after the ceremony we choinged down for the food. in the end we ate until bloated. hahahah.

tomorrow still got lectures. haiz sian.

24 july 2005, sunday
celebrated yimyiu’s birthday at moonfish. yimyiu, meiqi, kiaying, michelle and i ate lunch there, then later yiling came to join us. after lunch meiqi went off first, and the rest of us went to suntec kbox. that stupid suntec branch was super lousy. they only gave us 3 hours. where got enough? haha. but anyway we had so much fun singing. =) but…their list of flora songs was empty. EMPTY!!! but the clever me knew where to search for them, hahah.

came home and saw that tvbj was showing mr hong kong pageant. so i continued to watch. the guys on the pageant were divided into 2 groups, namely the dashing group and the muscle group. then each group will slowly eliminate guys until there is one guy each in the group and they fight for the title of mr hong kong. the panel of judges was made up of about 40 female artistes; most of them were formerly from beauty pageants. the ladies were seated in tables of four. the table that i liked most was the table consisting of hon kwan ting (forgot her english name), joyce chan, halina tam and tong ying ying. coz when they were asked by dodo for the comments, they so straightforwardly said they wanted the guys to be in their swimwear so that they could ogle at them. ahahahahha. the hosts were dodo cheng, niki chow and another experienced female host. but with dodo around, niki couldn’t really say a lot coz dodo had a lot of things to say.

when they were down to 4 guys, there was a Q and A session. question is: among the 3 hosts, who will you choose to be your lover and your wife? i cant remember their answers, but after their answers, dodo said something really clever. she said: “if you want to stand out from the rest, you should just choose a wife and not choose a lover. that way you will be seen as a loyal person and a trustworthy man.” hahahah very true.

the audience was also allowed to cast their votes, and so were the other viewers. they were given 1 hour to vote. and the 2 guys left were matthew and rocky. i had a feeling matthew will win, coz i had previously read the poll from tvb weekly. most artistes like matthew among all the guys. mmm ya in the end matthew won. but i hoped that rocky won. coz matthew is so scrawny. and just look at the way he posed with the trophy! he stood like a sissy. no offense but that was what i saw on tv. on the other hand, rocky is muscular and strong and handsome. matthew is just cute with not much of a figure. mm mi didn’t see their talent shows. maybe matthew won because he had more talents than rocky. anyway it doesn’t matter la. hahahha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YIMYIU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINGSHUN!

today i woke up late but i still felt tired the whole day. yeye, popo and gujie came today and i gave them the presents i bought for them in hk. this will be the last time they come to my present house. seriously i dont know when we are moving. at this rate i dont think we can move out by 31 july.

watched the finals of the volkswagen open- korea in the afternoon. li jiawei versus kim kyung ah. it was a tight match. both of them fought till the last minute. 3-3. and last match 10-10. then that korean woman won. ah. a lot of times jiawei lost on missing the ball even when it touched the table. she also missed the table a lot of times. the most gek was when the both of them rallied. nice to see, but if in the end it wasnt jiawei that won the game then not nice le. during the whole match, she won only about 2 rallies. haiz. never mind la. second also can.

watched 2 discs of lost in love, 2 discs of love is beautiful, and wu yen. sai lo didnt tell me that he wasnt watching bring it on, so that i could watch wu yen. thus i missed the first half an hour coz i was napping. argh. anyway wu yen is a very funny show. i like it coz it doesnt need much thinking. the bad people in the show arent that bad, in the end they still make me laugh. i like such comedies. =)

22 july 2005, friday
mmm somehow my computer cannot access websites that have frames. so i cant even check my mail, much less blog. so all these were typed in word before transferring. today i finally finished watching hard fate. shall give my two cents’ worth later. packed my stuffs and the storeroom stuffs until tired. side beat ended today too.

hard fate is a story about a piece of jade called twin fairies of harmony (wo hup yee sin). this piece of jade was passed down from generations, and finally to tiffany mok hei yee (flora chan) by her aunt. tragedies were hidden behind the jade, which were experienced by tiffany’s aunt and her aunt’s second mother. so it seemed that people who had the jade will have something bad happening to them. before tiffany got the jade, she was a very unlucky person. when her aunt gave her the jade, things then became better for her. she met leung ka ming (kevin cheng) and they collaborated to trade in jade. and she was hired by a top jade trading company, owned by leung pak yin (damien lau), as a jewelry designer. soon pak yin and tiffany fell in love but as time goes by she realised that pak yin was a married man and had a daughter in her twenties. pak yin’s daughter, cecilia leung wing sz (niki chow) got close to ka ming, initially on an agenda to find out if he was her father’s illegitimate son. but as her misunderstanding was cleared, she soon found herself liking ka ming. on the other hand, ka ming likes tiffany ever since they successfully bought a stone which earned them a lot.

pak yin wanted to divorce his wife because he never had feelings for her, but his wife choi yung (mary hon) didn’t believe him and thought that he divorced her for another woman. thus she went mad and threatened to harm tiffany. meanwhile tiffany found out that she was pregnant after she broke up with pak yin. in order to salvage her marriage, choi yung threatened pak yin with his secret that she knew of. but a mystery was formed when both choi yung and pak yin fell down from the rooftop of a building. choi yung died on the spot while pak yin had serious injuries but soon recovered. ka ming and ceci got together. ceci found out some shocking news relating to her mother’s death, and this made her suspect pak yin even more…

tiffany forgave pak yin after his fall, and after his recovery they got married. pak yin’s business got worse day by day, due to the betrayal from pak yin’s younger brother, leung pak kit (stephen au). as time passes, tiffany realised that she was walking in the footsteps of her aunt. also, she gradually discovered pak yin’s true colours…

shall not reveal the ending. anyway i found several loopholes in the props. choi yung was banging her fists on the walls of the lift, and i saw the wall vibrate. ?!?!?!? please, next time at least use a stronger material for the props. on the whole, the show is quite exciting, sometimes there are funny moments and also sad moments. the pairing of flora and damien is a fresh one, but most fans will prefer flora to pair up with someone closer to her age instead of an old man. i like tiffany’s clothes at the beginning stage. tiffany is the central good character, so the story mostly revolves around her. the relationship between tiffany and her aunt reminded me of my relationship with popo, so i cried when her aunt died. (choy!) mmm tiffany is a happy go lucky person, she doesn’t have any grudges, great ambitions, etc. all she hopes for is to find a good man who will love her a lot. so i think tiffany will belong to the soft spoken type, but not as soft spoken as joyce in ATOL. i love it when tiffany became pak yin’s proxy at the company when he was ill. the way she talked to the rude pak kit, she was very very cool! stern yet calm and strong in her words. that very scene reflected how tiffany could be fierce when she wanted to. somehow when i watched that scene, i was reminded of myself. haahaa. the times when i scolded the whole orchestra (dhsco and vjco). of course i didn’t scold like a shrew, i did it the way tiffany did to pak yin. i made all of them speechless and unable to retort back. hahahahha.

damien is a great actor. i have to say it. undeniably he’s old, but he can really act. leung pak yin is a sly character, but he appears to be a generous man on the surface. its really difficult to act with both characteristics coming out from one person, but damien did it well, so much so that sometimes i wonder if pak yin is a good or a bad guy. i think damien looks cute when he smiles, his front buckteeth makes him cute. =)

i believe hard fate is kevin’s first show that he was one of the male leads. kevin has a face that can be both good and bad. in burning flames 2, he was the despicable mark that everyone hated. but in hard fate, he became the attractive ka ming that everyone liked. thus i think he has a lot of potential. hahha. mmm in the beginning, ka ming was just a small jade trader in canton road. then he worked with tiffany’s father and they opened a shop selling jade. then later his business got better, and he joined yuk lung hin (pak yin’s company). to avoid misunderstandings, he quitted yuk lung hin and became a boss at ming shek hin. from a small trader to a big boss, ka ming’s characteristics never changed, and he remained the humble and responsible fellow that everyone was fond of. mmm i think kevin looked dashing in his suit and when he smiles. =D

as for niki, i thought she looks like tong ying ying, another actress. and niki’s really skinny!!! her arms are very skinny and she’s quite tall. her eyes are big and pretty. i think her mouth resembles tong ying ying’s mouth. ahhhaa. i knew of niki only from this show, probably her first show. im not too sure. at first i felt that ceci was a spoilt brat and a great liar. but as the episodes went by, ceci’s character soon surfaced and i felt that she was a sentimental person, and also a loyal partner to ka ming. the proposal from ka ming to ceci was so sweet. i bet no girl can resist that kind of proposal. hahahhahah. the way she took care of tung tung (tiffany’s daughter), i actually felt the sisterly bond between them, even though it was between a young lady and a baby.

the character i hated most was, nope not pak kit or ivy (maggie siu), but tiffany’s younger brother, mok hei man (hawick lau). ah man only knows how to talk but doesn’t know how to work. he’s lazy, arrogant, and he keeps thinking he is handsome and that all girls will fall for him. i dislike the character, not hawick himself. basically i think hawick is cute but not my type. yah. mmmm, ah man always gets into trouble, himself and others, because he trusts people around him too easily. he trusted pak kit and got yuk lung hin into deep waters. he trusted pak yin at the wrong time (when he was becoming bad) and thus got tiffany into trouble. but i quite like the relationships between their family (tiffany, ah man and their father). some sort like my family, but yongjie doesn’t always talk to me about his stuffs.

tung tung is cute. =D and adorable. =D so cute to the extent that i want my baby to be like her. hahahah kidding. so thats the end of my review. it doesnt seem like a review. hahaha just my thoughts after watching the show. don’t think i will rewatch now coz its quite taxing due to the heavy plot. side beat ended today too. i dont need to make a review la coz i think i did it the last time i rented the show. to sum up the last episode of side beat, it has a lousy ending. i actually wanted to see some sparks or some couple stuffs from ah ching and ah fun but nothing came out. haiz.

im not moving tomorrow. if i am then i wont have the time to blog now. papa figured that we wont finish packing in time. i saw that a long time ago. at least i left a quarter of my stuffs to pack. papa left about half, and yongjie hasn’t started packing at all. hahahah. so now sai lo (younger brother in cantonese) and lo dau (father in cantonese) are sleeping. so i, the ka jeh (elder sister in cantonese), should go and sleep too. hahahahh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TSZSHAN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEL!

went to ikea to shop. saw a table but didnt really like it. but papa likes it. anyway ive decided to buy my chair. its the plastic chair that has 9 holes at the back. imm has the transparent one while ikea has the white one. unfortunately for imm, tiffany in hard hate (ie flora) has the white one, and the white one is cheaper so im going to get the white one. hahahha.

bought my stools!!! hehhehheh. yongjie got the blue one, while i chose the green and pink ones.

11:06 p.m.
Wednesday, July 20, 2005

matriculated and got my timetable. discussed with yimyiu our timetables. it sucks. mondays and wednesdays are the worst. monday it will be all lessons from 9am all the way to 230pm. no break at all. then continue from 430-630pm. wednesday is slightly better. but i go to school at 830am and leave at 630pm. but in between i have 4 hours break. haiz. anyway i should be able to adapt to my timetable soon.

went to imm again. this time we went with yongjie. saw a few shops and sort of decided on some stuffs already. yongjie already bought his bed and wardrobe. i went to see my glass table again. but haiz i cant make decisions so fast whenever it concerns so much money. like last time in hk, i saw quite a few nice clothes but i didnt buy coz it was expensive. but now i regret. hahaha. so tomorrow i'll have to decide whether im buying from ikea or imm. haiz. packing more stuffs. since i couldnt come home in time, i will watch the repeat telecast of side beat. passed the designs to jean. but i cant go tomorrow. very sorry jean... =(

11:08 p.m.
Tuesday, July 19, 2005

hahah its been a long time since i really blog as if this is my diary. anyway, mmm yesterday i packed half of my cupboard, watched side beat episode 16 and hard fate. i think it'd be better if i give my review after i finish the show. today papa and i went to the new house to take a look, my room is in the morning sun shade. quite okay. yongjie's room is blue. then later we went to imm to look at furniture. the beds there are so-so. havent seen any nice cupboards yet. the kids furniture are better looking but sadly ive outgrown them. saw a nice study cum computer table but its out of stock at the moment. another glass one is cool too. maybe im getting it. harhahrahaha.

im moving this weekend. so fast. the packing is getting slower each day. tomorrow im going to choing packing and buying furniture. hopefully my internet can work tomorrow so i can print my long-awaited timetable out.

12:32 p.m.
Monday, July 18, 2005

went online for a while before getting disconnected. hrmph. so i cannot do a lot of things. got to go down to the library one day and do whatever i need to do there. hope the library internet wont ban forums and stuffs. otherwise i cannot do anything at all. haiz. okay time for hard fate again. yen called me coz she got a job for me. 2 days at fedex. again. ok i’d like to work but i cant fork out the time now. later i still got to pack and watch side beat. oh to jean: i only have side beat except for episodes 9-13 coz i wasn’t in singapore. i don’t have feminine masculinity except for the last episode which was in mandarin. yah.

17 july 2005, sunday
everyone left the house quite early so i was the only one at home. watched a bit of hard fate, then packed my drawers and cabinets. then ate lunch and watched again. and packed again. vacuumed the floor, folded the clothes and ta-dah! papa came home. luckily i did some things already, otherwise papa will try to find fault and pinpoint at me. somehow these days he likes to pick on the little things that i missed to scold me. like i didn’t open the windows and he scolded me. =(

the internet is screwed up again. so i watched hard fate on the computer instead.

as i cannot go online very often, i shall do this when i have access to the internet. CLOSE MY GUESTBOOK. ive had enough from the stupid fellow there.

16 july 2005, saturday
went for jsfc gathering. only the committee minus jean and lyn, and a few other fans came. after the meeting we went millennia walk for a while. on the way back we saw the starhub promotion counter which had flora’s pictures plastered all over. ok i meant TGUIT pictures. hahahah. coz they are going to show TGUIT soon. harharhar. later i went to century square to buy 4 issues of tvb weekly, and my dearest hard fate vcds. a bit heartache coz the vcds are so expensive. but everytime i will tell myself, since im getting it sooner or later, might as well get it now otherwise school starts then i cannot watch. hahahha.

went to adidas shop at tampines mall to check if they have my sports shoes and my tote bag. nope they didn’t have them. heng arh. if they have them and its cheaper in singapore, i will be the stupidest person ever. hahah. mmm i bought a tube top to match some of my clothes. and collected my super expensive photos. yah singapore shopping spree. ahah.

came home, did all the necessary stuffs first before papa picked on me. so after he went out i chiong-ed hard fate. quite funny in the beginning. yee-por is so cute. tiffany’s clothes are very nice.

10:44 a.m.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAZREEL!

packed my stuffs on my bedroom desk. watched side beat episode 15. the internet yesterday was cranky. and so was the computer. so i did everything in word as usual. mm im going to talk about the things after my trip.

came home, read the newspapers that papa kept for me. i realised that there were so many news happening in singapore. the huang na court case, the nkf thing, the murder cases… haiz. but there are so many news about wenfang and mingshun on the nkf show. hahaha. and sammi reappeared!! they spotted her dining at central. when i was in hk!!!! darn how come i didn’t see her? anyway never mind. at least i know she’s fine and healthy. that’s all it matters.

14 july, thursday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISON!

im back!!!!!

the anonymous person at my guestbook sure misses me, coz s/he posted so many rubbish messages at my guestbook again. the first thing i did was to delete them. ahha.

okay im going to mass blog now. i will actually go from the first day onwards. so if you are reading, please scroll down and read from the bottom up.

in summary, the hk trip was alright. sometimes i enjoyed myself, sometimes i didnt. sometimes i felt that i was left out from them because the topics they talked about didnt involve me, and i dont know the people whom they talked about. also, it seemed like during the whole trip, it was more of an errand for them than a holiday. they had to go places to get things for their family. so much so that they didnt go to other places that i wanted very much to go. on the other hand, we went to places that they wanted to go but i didnt. like the 2 cricket clubs. and the journey there wasted so much time. all the locating and bus waiting. places that i wanted to go but didnt were the che gung temple, repulse bay, lamma island, sai kung, tseung kwan o, wishing tree, etc. because my mentality was that i wanted to sightsee and shop, but they wanted only to shop. they laughed at the hongkongers' cantonese. i felt like an outsider sometimes. but overall it was okay. so thats about it. mmm ya.

13 july, wednesday
last day. megan and jazreel went to collect the goose and fetched katherine home. while i stayed home and watched tv. nothing to do, i watched the journey to the west twice on different channels. the chinese one had them already on the way to the west, while the cantonese one had them still in heaven. watched the charmaine and julian show too (i forgot the title). then they came home and we went to citygate for last minute shopping. i bought another top coz esprit was having a big big sale. bought my adidas bag which i couldnt find since i saw it at lo wu, which was sooo far away. nancy and uncle ronald were also flying off on the same day as us to shanghai so we left the house for the airport at around 3pm coz nancy's flight was at 5pm. so they checked in first while we shopped at the airport. bought some foodstuffs there. soon the jetstar counter opened and haah i saw aprilyn too. we had a chat and hahah she saw adel and kiaying and yanqi at ocean park. that day i was trying to find them too but didnt see them. mm ya. so we ate at hui lau shan for the third time, and went in to the restricted area. the people there had bad direction sense, they gave us wrong directions to kee wah bakery. in the end we wasted a lot of time and were the last few to board the bus to the plane. we were always the last.

on board the plane, i read my sammi article that i got from nancy, and slept the way through. was glad when we reached singapore. home sweet home.

12 july, tuesday
sixth day. we went to the giant buddha. the bus ride was around one hour. i fell asleep on the bus. we looked around at the exhibition centre, then we climbed up the row of steps to the buddha. if i climb the steps everyday, i will be very fit. hahaha. we visited the inside of the temple, prayed, bought some souvenirs and went for the vegetarian food that came with the package. then later we met up with nancy and uncle ronald at olympic to shop.

then later we went to central to take a bus to stanley market. along the way, we passed aberdeen, repulse bay, happy valley and finally reached stanley. but we couldnt find the dried mangoes that megan's mother wanted. we went to some shopping centre at stanley for a rest, while i went to take photos of the stanlet beach. yes, the beach where a lot of dramas were shot. but it was under reconstruction. mmmm then we went back to happy valley where the hong kong cricket club was. then we waited years for the bus to come, so in the end we took a cab all the way to tsim sha tsui. the stupid driver dropped us at the wrong hotel. walked around lor. wasnt in a good mood. this time they realised and asked if i was okay.

when we reached tung chung, we went to the supermarket to buy instant noodles. we ate them while watching my ATE2 last episode. the very episode where helen came back, looking pretty and elegant. wasnt excited coz i watched it before. just that me seeing flora on tv in hk was rare. and after ATE2 they will be showing ASITP. too bad we are going home the next day. but luckily the first episode didnt have dear jessica.

11 july, monday
fifth day. we went to jordan in the morning coz megan and jazreel wanted to see the kowloon cricket club. but we took a very long time to find the club. it was blazing hot. so i felt quite sian. then in the afternoon we went to ocean park. crowded like nothing. expensive like nothing. we walked around, took the raging river ride, watched the animal show, took the ferris wheel and cable cars. ocean park made me see the barbaric side of the PRCs. wah lau they anyhow cut our queue, and they never bother to line up properly. they shouted at the top of their voices, as if other people were deaf. and they were so suaku. very rude, ill-mannered, and they kept stepping on my feet, and their umbrellas kept poking onto my head. they perspired like they didnt sweat in their whole lives, making everywhere smelly and yet they squeezed so close to us. the annoying PRC kids ran about like crazy. i wanted to slap them in their faces.

the cable car ride freaked me and jazreel out. coz halfway it jerked and stopped. we were so freaked out that i was talking nonsense. like "luckily it stopped quite near the mountains and the roads. if we fall, at least we wont die, and will land on the ground. if we go further then its the sea then worse." hahah. i saw aprilyn there. the both of us were so shocked to see each other there. hahah.

at night we went to tsim sha tsui to walk and shop. yah thats about all. and went home to watch ATE2. haha.

10 july, sunday
fourth day. nancy and uncle ronald took us to shenzhen. we took a bus ride that was 45 minutes long. we passed the tsing ma bridge and the new territories area. alighted at sheung shui, and took the KCR rail to lo wu. passed the customs and finally we reached shenzhen. the people there are so clingy. they just walked up to people and asked them to buy things from them. we had to ignore them coz if not, they would pester us nonstop.

the worst part was the moment you ask for the price. they name the price, you think its high and start to bargain. they refuse to give in. you walk away. they scream at the top of their voices that they will give in and lower the price. but by then you already lose interest in the item and decide not to buy. but they run up to you and follow you as you walk. you find them annoying and ignore them. then they scold you from behind. thats how uncilivised they are. but there were some exceptions coz some salesgirls are quite friendly. it was very crowded that i didnt have any mood to shop, and anyway i didnt see anything i like there. most things there are fakes. but the fakes are quite expensive too. the quality of the fakes wasnt very good either.

when we left shenzhen it was 7 plus at night, so we went to the shopping centre at lo wu to eat hakka food. walked around again and then went home. the end. in conclusion the shenzhen trip was horrible. i wont go there again in the near future.

9 july, saturday
third day. nancy said there was an esprit warehouse sale at citygate (thats the shopping centre which is very near to coastal skyline and just beside tung chung mtr station). so we woke up early to go there to shop. i bought 3 tops and a pair of jeans. heh heh. then we went back home to put our stuffs, and went to meet katherine at mongkok. and so the whole afternoon we were at mongkok, shopping for sports shoes. the whole street was selling shoes. haahah. i wanted a pair of adidas campus shoes but i tried it on and it wasnt comfortable. so in the end i settled for another pair of shoes. went to ladies street and saw vcds. but those vcds can be found in singapore too. furthermore, i believe the singapore ones are more trustworthy and cheaper so i didnt buy any.

at night we went to tsim sha tsui's avenue of stars to view the symphony of lights. quite ok. i wasnt in my bestest mood that day. so i was very quiet. as you can see, if im not in a good mood, i will be very quiet. but as usual i wont say why im unhappy. partly because im not the type that will voice out my feelings, and partly coz i forgot what happened already.

second day. as planned, we went to hk island to shop. we went to ifc mall and lane crawford at central. then we went causeway bay- times square, sogo, etc. we wanted to go to victoria park, but when we reached the vincity, we saw that the roads were diverted so in the end we didnt go. then in the evening we went to the peak and to madame tussauds wax museum. there, we took a lot of photos. at night, we went to lan kwai fong to explore. woah there were a lot of people there when we reached there at 9-10pm. i was kind of scared to take photos there, hahah scared that some people would come to bash me up. after that we went to katherine's boyfriend (kaijie)'s hotel room to see the nightview. quite nice. wasnt in a very good mood la, so i was very quiet.

we reached coastal skyline (thats where we stayed) at around midnight, and ta-dah! saw ATE2 showing on tv. it was episode 103. hahah. the previous night i only had 3 hours of sleep coz i couldnt get used to the hard bed. so i went to sleep quite early.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVIAN!

grace kept drumming into my ears that im flying to hk on his birthday. so yah. here you go. hahaha. =)

mmm wasnt sure if i will enjoy my holiday when i walked down to catch a cab to the airport. papa came with me; we ate at the staff canteen, and i was reminded of the times i worked at the airport. soon jazreel, megan and katherine were spotted, along with megan and katherine's mum and juffrey. we all said hi and then went to check in. katherine was going along with us but not staying together. after checking in, papa and i waited for yeye and popo to come. jazreel's aunt, nancy, came too, and we were all staying at her house. and so it was time to go in, and my eyes became watery. haiz. we walked around inside the transit before boarding the plane.

first time taking a plane. a bit scared. takeoff was delayed coz there was a jam. takeoff was a bit rough, and i felt the air pressure in me. but soon everything was ok and i was looking at the skyview from the window. during autopilot, the captain came out for a walk, and megan asked if we could take a look at the cockpit, and he said yes. when we were reaching hk, we could see the nice nightview throught the window. the captains were so skilful that i didnt feel that the plane was landing. we had to take the stairs down instead of the connector coz the airport was congested. before we got down the plane, the 4 of us went into the cockpit and it was so cool! we took photos and took quite some time, that the whole plane of people were waiting for us to take the bus to the arrival hall.

after all the immigration stuffs, we met up with nancy and she brought us to dinner at a restaurant. the dinner was nice. the tv inside was showing duo ming zhen fu starring bowie and louisa. i like louisa. i think she can really act well. but somehow tvb usually puts her as someone lower than a supporting actress. never mind. anyway, after dinner we took a bus back to her place at tung chung, lantau island. wow her place was superb! it was a condo with security guards, 59 floor with spectacular view of the mountains and sea, quite small but comfy, the whole house had air-con,..... dolly's father must have thought we were staying in the suburbs, thats why he didnt let her come. since it was our first day, all we did was to settle down and go to sleep.

ive decided. to go to hk. previously i was struggling with myself, whether to go or not to go. coz i felt that there isnt enough time for me to pack for moving house after i come back from trip. but somehow i finally decided to go, partly because i didnt want megan and jazreel to be unhappy. dolly couldnt go because of family problems. i hated myself for being so indecisive. even gujie and papa scolded me for that. =(

anyway so tomorrow's my big day. it will be my first time taking a plane, first time travelling to another country other than singapore and malaysia, first time travelling with my friends. naturally i'll be a bit scared. so hope everything goes well tomorrow and for the next 7 days.

no internet for a week. will miss 5 episodes of side beat. will miss my house, my bed, my bolster, my family.

yeye, popo and papa will go to the airport tomorrow to send me off. hopefully i wont cry, my ulcers wont hurt, everyone including me will be safe, and i will enjoy my trip. =)

and so, i'll blog one week later! =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZONGXIANG!

this morning i had a great dream. dreamt that i saw my dream guy. aka my joe. hahah. then i asked him to take photos with me. instead he carried me and later hugged me!!!! omg at that moment (in my dream) i felt so blissful. hahah. when i woke up, i wanted to continue the dream but i couldnt. anyway i knew this dream wont come true, so i wrote it here.

i am in a dilemma.

ive been thinking. maybe im too sensitive. but i have a feeling that a certain friend doesnt treat me as a friend anymore. even though its just a feeling, i felt quite hurt when i sensed the change. hope that my intuition isnt accurate.

went for wenfang's autograph session at j8. reached there at around 130pm. haiz long story. i forgot to bring my camera out of my house. i realised it only after i dashed for the bus, tong-ed a dollar coin coz i got no small change and my silly card was expired, sat down comfortably and saw someone holding a camera. (-_-") so i alighted at the next stop, and walked back home. on the way home, i was considering whether i should 1)just walk home and stay there, 2) take my camera and flag a cab directly to bishan, or 3) take my camera and flag a cab to pasir ris mrt station to take mrt. i chose 3). luckily there werent a lot of people when i reached.

half an hour later, someone entered the queue. at first there was nobody in the queue so i didnt dare to enter. thus i followed suit. but the security guards said i need a pass. where got pass?? so i went to the cd counter and asked about the pass. it happened that i bought the cd very early. the later copies had passes inside the cd. .... so the nice guy gave me a pass and i entered. heh heh. eileen came shortly. gave her the present i owed her since january.. which was charmaine's autograph. hahaha. then she gave me the tvb anniversary vcd. i was a bit shocked. i thought she was joking when she asked me last night if i mind getting it for free. hahaha thanks!! =D

waited until 3pm, then mary appeared. yay! i love mary. she's so cute. mm anyway the crowd was getting bigger as time passed. the number of fans appeared there was like more than 10 times the number of fans who appeared on jace's session. after some time, wenfang came out. somehow i felt that the screams are getting softer year by year. last time FFC was raring to go, screaming our heads off whenever wenfang appeared. but now... like died down.

wenfang talked about a lot of stuffs on stage, sang 3 songs, and soon it was the autograph session. during my turn on the stage, i asked wenfang if she could write my name. of course she obliged. hhahaha. and i took a closeup photo of her. then shook her hand. before i got off the stage, i went to mary and asked if i can take photos with her:
(in mandarin)
me: can i take a photo with you?
mary: now?
me: umm. (meaning yes.)
mary: mmm can we take later? after the event?
me: errr coz im going off soon already...
mary: uuhh on the stage arh?
me: no la, below.. very fast one can?
mary: mmmm okay la.
then we went down the stage and took photos. heehee. eileen's friends came too and we took photos among ourselves while waiting for the event to end. it was still quite early. wah then i spotted some fan taking photos with wenfang!!!!! haiz. i should have been bolder to ask her if can take photos with her. hahah never mind la.

after everything we took photos with mary again. mary was like "eh how come its you again? didnt you say you were going off soon?" hahahah then i told her i still had time so i stayed. fwhahahah.

met up with gujie at bugis. we went for the food fair. didnt eat much though, coz papa cooked dinner. saw grace, tszshan and yunxin when i was at pasir ris mrt station getting my standard ticket refund. ahaha they were sitting on the floor. so i joined them and we talked a while. watched the nkf cancer show. gujie and i were on the phone criticising li feihui and the project superstar judges. ahhaha. so many people said "kidney patients" instead of "cancer patients". cried when i watched the snippets of the cancer patients. as usual wenfang lip-synched "ai shang le ni". hhaha today i listened to that song for n times.

a very big THANK YOU to these people...
eileen for the vcd and card
wenfang for the autograph
mary for the photos and autograph
gujie for the yummy food
thank you!! =D

ive decided not to tape side beat during my absence. ive decided to continue from episode 14 when i come back. so i'll miss 9-13. since nobody can tape for me, then i'll have to sacrifice it.

today, i went for JSFC meeting. we discussed mainly about the tshirt designs. the committee except jean, plus kenix, came. and they all decided to use my designs. on one hand i felt pleased, but on the other hand i felt pressurised and i will be busier. while we were discussing, there was an orientation going on at esplanade space. all the screams and cheers.

after the discussion the committee went for lunch to bond. jasmine left early. hahahhaa. then we headed to suntec while lyn, lily and collen left. so left kennise, karen, seraph, cindy and i. so we shopped around but kennise and karen did most of the shopping. they treated us to ice cream. hahaha. kennise drove us to city hall mrt station, but suay suay got the ndp roadblock, so she had to drop us at the marina square there. hahaha.

met up with the girls later. hmm got kiaying, huiyi, adel, yimyiu, yunxin, michelle and i. as usual michelle was the latest ahahah. we went to a japanese restaurant at millenia walk, and talked and laughed so much that i got stomachache. then later they presented me with my presents. thanks!!!

i got first in ph's game. i realised my picture takes a long time to load. i have a runny nose. plus a bit of sore throat and two ulcers.

a very big THANK YOU to these people... adelene, grace, huiyi, kiaying, meiqi, michelle, yimyiu and yunxin for the presents
