okies some updates!
Daisy is gone, Kanas is here to stay!
Kanas who?? Well she is my new roomie, a local n only 19! My gosh.. she makes me feel like an old hag. Mmm... 1st impression... think she has a lousier 1st impression of me than I have of her as she came in at 930 and I was asleep. I just woke up, looked at her n said "hi, my name is Esther... u r?" She mumbled something but was soo soft and I was so tired to rememberso I just said "okies, see you later" went back to sleep. She left for class. Then she came back again at 1pm, and I was still sleeping (not my fault, I slept at 6am.. insomia). This time I was determined to talk to her, but before I can sit up, she left the room. I went to wash up and heard the door opening, she came back again at 120pm n left the room again at 130pm... okies to cut the story short, she keeps going in and out in flashes that I didnt really get to talk to her. Then we had a floor meeting that nite, but she left halfway to look for her friend, didnt come back till 530am or so... by then I was happily in bed. However, I was woken up by the slam of her cupboard door.
The next day, I got up for class and she was still sleeping. When I came back, she was gone. Then when I was about to go out that night, she came back. Talked for 5 mins and I had to run as I was running late. Came back, and she was asleep. On friday morning, I was blissfully sleeping but was awoken by the noise her icq n msn were producing. Arrgh...
OKies to cut the story short, I hardly got to talk to her! So I do not know much about her. Will update abt her in time to come. For now, I just hope that she will try to be more quiet when I am sleeping as I ain a deep sleeper. Hope and pray for me k.
Daisy is gone.. but not before we had some fun... had dinner.. took tons of photos.. exchange contacts n hugs..
This is one of our final photo together (with Flick in the centre)... some guy helped us take it as we tried many times to take ourselves but always have someone's face missing, so the nice chap offered his help. In case u r wondering, yes... they have to literally stooped to my level for the photo because both Flick and Daisy are 5ft 9" and me stands merely at 5ft 1".
Strangely, one of the thing I miss most about Daisy's presence is her wall. This wall:
It has photos and cards from people thats important to her. I like it as it livens up the room, making it more homely. Moreover, as I like to sleep on my sides, this is often the sight I see when I get up. Now all I have is a bare wall. Maybe I should do up my wall too... but the thing is if I put in too much effort in my room, I will be very attached to it and can't bear to leave it after 4 mths.
Clubbing
Clubbing in HK is about the same in Sg, any difference... mmmm
1) HK has tons of places with ladies nite... so ladies can drink like there's no tomorrow
2) no lockers here.. so gals have to carry their own bags and dance, otherwise be like me at times.. stuff my cash etc into every available pocket
3) they are stricter with regards to ID. No ID = no entry. Janice and Rubs had to go back all the way to Kowloon Tong to get their ID, and its not as if they look 17ish!
4) Gals are actually more covered up here, yes...even in clubs. So do not have be suprise to see a gal in shrug gyrating and will not remove it even though the place is sooo hot (as in temp)
Toilet!
My toilet mates are nice but there are things that irk me whenever I use the bathroom... so just let me bitch about it a little.
The toilet lady doesnt clean properly! Once a week, a cleaning aunty will come to wash up the toilet but it seems that she only empties the dustbins because there is hair everywhere. I do not really mind the hair but I really do not like it when it get clumpish, especially in the shower area. I know that I do contribute to the lot but it'll be nice to have a clean toilet once in a while. I usually just wear my bedroom slippers into the toilet but during the times when I don't, I have to thread barefooted over the truckloads of hair on the floor. Cant think it anymore, so I sweeped it all up and empty into the bin today.
Second thing that irkes me is that I have no place to put my toiletries in the shower area. My toilet mates and roomies put their stuffs on the holder (which is quite big) so there is only space for my shower form and cleanser. Usually, I will just keep my shampoo, condition etc in my cabinet but I got so tired of taking it in and out that I just left them on the window ledge. The only bad thing about this is that I have to keep tip-toeing to take them down. Arrgh.. I wanna be taller.
Thirdly, there is a question that always on my min- "why do my toliet mates always switch off the heater but leaves everything else on?" I always find it a waste of electricity to leave the lights and exhaust fans on when everyone is sleeping, so I'll make it a point to switch most of the lights off but everytime I showered I have to switch on the heater n wait for it to heat up as its always switched off. okies.. am i making sense? aiyah.... its okies.. just want to whine
Distinction in housewifery
My room is almost spick and span!! For now at least...
I realised that I have potential to be a very good housewife.... I can clean, wash and cook
Well, at least my bed is always made, floor is clean enough so that one can walk barefooted. Cupboard, shelves are neatly packed too.. just table a litle messy. My clothes are clean, a little cumpled as I do not have an iron, some shrank a little but its the dryer's fault, so far no color runs yet. The noodles I cooked are edible, and pretty delicious.... always check for expiry dates...even able to impart some knowledge to others...so in simple terms... I passed!!! Guess the 23 years spent in Sg has taught me well.. or at least my mum taught me well. Guess that I will be able to look after myself quite well. Quick someone give me a pat on the shoulder! I deserve it!!! don't trust me.... ask Eddy.. he said so himself!!! He said that I have the neatest and cleanest room among the 3.. wahahha.. i am getting cocky!
mmm....
The other thoughts are rather random so here goes...
1) gave myself a treat.. went for mani n pedi at Dragon City because its soo cheap compare to Sg. Its less than 1/2 the amount I have to pay in Sg! Although, the color was a little tacky but its okies as the woman did an excellent job. My nails and cuticles were screaming for attention! okies... promise to pay more attn to them in the future.. but... but... its soo afforable here! Even Edison said he might consider going for one. Wonder if it will be cheaper in Shenzhen....
2) Finally did something for my injured feet, I went to the bonesetter. It was rather painful but it does feel better now... much looser.. at least it doesn't hurt when I stand. The place seems quite professional, they even have their own website www.bonesetter.com.hk and the bandaging is among the best I have seen so far.
You know how some place just spread herbs all over the feet before bandaging but this place doesn't... they have this specially prepared pack that is gauze on one side and plastic on the other. Therefore, when I removed it the next day, I do not have dried herbs falling all over the floor, just have to remove the pack n throw it away. Clean and convenient.
3) Just watch the movie "A walk in the clouds" today... and its soo nice. I am so glad I brought my Acer laptop over instead or my Fujitsu, if not I will be soo bored.. I will not be able to indulge myself in dvds. okies I know that many may think why am i watchin dvd when I should be out exploring HK.. but I need something to do at nite right...
4) Going to buy a new novel soon...
5) I just had my most expensive grocery shopping exprience tonite! Okies, its not really alot just Hk$220.70, about S$48. I had to stock up on my food supply as its running very very low. In Hk, I really follow the doctrine of "an apple a day, keeps the doc away" because I always have apples in my room. Why I eat so many apples in Hk because I love apples, they are easy to eat, I can keep them in the room, they are cheap and they smell nice. Think I do not need to shop for groceries for some time.
6) Weather is gettin drier so its time to slab on tons of moisturizer and drink pei pa kao every day. I been taking more of pei pa gao these days as my throat is hurts and I cough at nite as I can feel the dryness in the air. Last nite, I put a basin of water in my room when i sleep, hoping that it will add some moisture to the air.
7) Going to Taiwan from the 28th oct to the 1st nov and meeting Rujin there.... n that kuku just told me that he thought we are departing on the 31st! I almost feel like strangling him.. luckily he can change his departure date... if not he will die big time
okies tired of typing.. promise to update on more regular basis so that each entry be shorter.
hey dear..glad to know your room is the cleanest!!haha, so next time can clean my room!! take care of that nose of yours!
