| my long whine |
Just came back from a 1 hr chat with Janice... we were sitting along her corridoor n my gosh.. everyone stared!
So excited today as I finally booked my flights to Shanghai and Taipei, although I must admit that getting the tix isn't a very easy task as I have to compare prices, timing, duration etc etc.. this includes those that are posted online and in the classified. Initially I found a tix for Shanghai that is not only cheap but timing is highly suitable too but it has been fully booked hence we were left with only the expensive ones. Guess its okies, guess have to scrimp on other areas... sorry guys.. no pressies from me!
Well.. guess that many will suggest that I cook myself but frankly groceries here aint cheap and in fact just buying the stuff I need to cook a meal here may cost more than eating out. But I am determined to cook more often as I need to save up more in order to be more liquid while travelling. Wonder how the other exchange students survive... there are some that clubs and drink every day.. travel every now n then.. eat out all the time! Ohh.. talking about food, today, Eddy, Sheena and me discovered a very cheap place to eat! All the noodles there cost HK$10 and drinks are not more than HK$7. This is the cheapest thing that I ever had in HK so far... and its actually not bad.. jus that the soup is too salty! Think I cannot take this too often if not my hair will just all drop off or I will be seriously dehydrated. Frankly, Macs and KFC are actually one of the most affordable places to eat in HK, moreover there are more variety.. much much more than SG. Mmm.. other affordable places that we have been frequenting are Cafe de Coral (aka Da Jia Le), the school canteen and our hostel cafeteria.
A little lazy to blog.. so lets do it quick:
1) went clubbing on wed and the waitress was soo rude! nv goin back there again.. feel like slappin her inside out, left right centre... acts as if we have no $ to pay.
2) Sheena bought her 1st backpack today! Eddy and me will be carrying backpak for the holis so she thought she should get one too. So gotta teach her backpak packing 101 soon!
3) My water heater is killing me.. its either too hot or too cool.. so in the end always bathe in cold water... soo sick of it! The hot water is simply too hot!!! so unless i want to have red, burnt skin after every bath.. its a strict no no. I don't mind bathing cold water but it will be nice to have some warm water at times...
4) Bought another set of papers today. I am someone that needs to read, I do not like being some frog in the well.. such that after 4 mths of exchange, I will feel soo lost with what the rest of the world. It is bad enough not to watch tv... thus I need the papers. However, the newspapers here is more expensive than SG... miss the affordable and interesting Straits Times!
Another reason why I am getting newspapers is because its one of the easiest way to pass time! I suddenly have alot of free time here... I do not like not having something to do! Something is wrong with me man.
5) Need to find someting more constructive to do as life here is getting boring.. any suggestions?
6) Stupid exchange forum.. we are due to present the following wk! Suppose to present on SG but what can we do... arrgh.. y do they have to do this to us....
aiyah enough of whinning.. going to read my papers... |
