Earth Laughs in Flowers

Sssh... I know the dvd is pirated so0o... sshhh!!! Anyway, after the many hours of shopping, Thomas brought us to this place that sells fantastic crabs!!!! They were being cooked in a Sichuan way, thus its spicy and salty and the same time.. the tot of it is making me drool... later we went to the KTV next door and my gosh... my jaw dropped! The receptionist, lady operating the elevator and standing at the door welcoming us are all in blue gowns. I really mean gowns! They even have a blue chiffon-looking shawl. Later when we took the lift to the 2nd floor, 2 rows of gals in gold gowns welcomed us with wide smiles and 1 of the gal followed us to our room. Initally, Sheena thought that they are call girls but later we realised that they are actually waitress cum DJ, so they will ensure that our drinks are topped up and dedicate the songs we want to sing. It was pretty wow exprience, which was heightened! we were actually come in face of a RMB 200 a nite call gal. Felt sad for her as I think no gal will want to sell herself, moreover for someting so little, wonder what drove her to that.

After that exhilarating exprience, the driver drove us to Uncle Louise's house, where the 5 of us packed into a room, taking silly pictures of our buys.

Woke up to Eddy's alarm! He was rather smart to leave the room while his alarm was blasting away as it forces at least 1 of us to get up to off it and that sacrificial lamb is.... Janice! I just laid on my mattress and smiled at her, while both of us where cursing away! However, the wonderful breakfast made up for the early disturbance! Soon we were out of the house and on the way to Shi Jie Zi Chuan (Window of the world) , where wonders of the world are downsized. We were bluffed! Uncle Louise told us that it will take about 10mins to walk from his place to the train station but it took more than 30mins! By the time we got to the station, we were all tired and perspiring. Window of the World is big! The place covered an enormous area, and while Uncle Louise predicted that we will take 5 hours to finished it, we left the place within 2 hrs.

That is a picture of us with Buckingham Palace, but opps.. we covered the entire palace! Actually, its not allowed to step into or climb on the buildings but we decided to heck it as its not nice taking pictures while standing a few metres from the buildings!

After that, we headed back to Uncle Louise's house. Rubee, Janice and me waited at the station for more than an hr, while Sheena and Eddy went back to collect our stuff. I almost fell asleep while waitin and 3 Station guards came to ask us what were we doing. By the time the 3rd guard came, I was sooo paiseh!

We went to this place for lunch where its famous for its beef balls. Its really good!!!! Brought some back to HK where we will cook them soon...

Later we went Luo Wu shopping and sadly, its not as good as DongMen. Perhaps cos most of the vendors refused to give us good price and they were soooo fierce! We even witnessed a gang fight, after which we left the place in a haste and made our way back to HK.

Both classes went well but I was so sleepy that I find myself nodding off and I was so glad when the IS class ended. The 5 of us made our way to Wellcom Supermarket, where we decided to cook on tuesday! Got all the stuff we need and made our way back to our hostel. It was fun preparing the food. Made meat dumplings and meat balls, after which, Sheena was hungry so Rubee fried the rest of the meat with eggs and after which we had toast! I bought a pack of 6 bread and the toast finished most of it. It tasted really good with jam. A picture of our dirty dirty hands!

Woke up late thus didnt get a chance to do my laundry!!! Had lunch in sch with the rest then we made our way to Festival Walk where we found out that Kiehl's body lotion is ohh soo good! Think I will go get it when I am done with the one I have. After getting the durians and ketchup, Rubee, Eddy and me went back to start cooking while Janice and Sheena attended class. Our food really tasted pretty good!! yum yum.. homecooked food for the 1st time in Hk.. Oh how much I love it. Sheena's roomie, Timmy came to join us too...

After that, I had to go to my Residence Mistress room for a little gathering with other exchange students. Met some really nice people among which my fav is Alsa but sadly she will be here only for 2 wks! After that, Martin and his french fren (cannot remember her name) invited me to join some other exchange students for a movie session... when along as I thought it will be a great chance to meet more people. The movie was dumb though. I am one of those that stayed till the end and my gosh... its a total waste of time!!!

Now I am back in my room bloggin away... feelin slpy so going to bed. My roomie has left for Philippines, so hae the room all to myself for 6 nitez! yuppies!!!!! but think will miss her too.. always nice to tok to her. Oh yah, heard someone trying to open my door so felt puzzled as Daisy should be at Philippines already, then there was a knock, I went to open and it was this guy who gotten the wrong room! His face was in total shocked then embarassment, I couldn't help but laugh... ohh i am so evil!

Okies thats a quick recap of what helping, not very interesting or funny.. but whatever..... my bed is calling me! Just hope that my clothes will not shrink anymore from the dryer tomorrow!
