hey! sorry for not continuing the hk post, I'll finish it when I get back to SG on the 26th (: Currently in Kuching, all prepared to spend Xmas with relatives and cousins here (paternal side!).
These days I went to the zoo, bugis, vivo city, USS, orchard, practically all the popular sites in SG to show my relatives around! You can view the photos here and here hehe. And bought loads of presents for my little cousins all using my own $. Not on good terms with my dad.
Anw I wanna rant about how I used to be an avid reader in the past, visiting the Marine Parade library every now and then, carrying a tote bag of books to return, and returning home with another bag of new books, always excited. My fav authors include Jacqueline Wilson, JK Rowling, James Lee (muahaha), Darren Shan and Harrison something (author of The Clique books) hahaha. I remember reading this very good book of which I forgot th title. It kinda include the words "liar", "dog" and "notes" can somebody help? No longer recall the plot :X I appreciate books, I really do! Reading is such an incomparable joy haha. I have this bad habit of speeding through books especially those thrilling ones and after reading it I ended up forgetting loads of minor details. Books ought to be savoured slowly and thoroughly~
Recently I watched the front few episodes of WGM (we got married), the girl was Seohyun one of the SNSD girls haha and I was really impressed by her love for reading! She constantly reads a variety of books including self-improvement ones. *stares with admiration* haha, really some books can be enlightening as much as inspirational.
I stopped reading with the introduction of the computer, the new media and other unworldly distractions in my teenage years. Time spent relentlessly and hardcore-ing reading books were replaced with FB, going out for movies, television programs, shopping,"slacking", and tons of unproductive and unsatisfying hobbies. Which was really sad. Time really flies and I was so unaware of the useless stuff I was doing sometimes haha. In primary school, I remember we had book logs, and during assembly we were all told to bring books to read. I was a really good reader! Always had brimming book logs. Now I am ashamed haha. Maybe not even a decent good read in a year. (excludes school literature, even though TKAM is a brilliant piece of work.)
Now I'm determined to change! Esp for the year of 2012 - Read at least 3 good books for the year! (currently eyeing 1Q84, but hope I can get it in the library!) This hols, i have started on a junior french book, and attempting to read finish The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night Time haha it's a cute book. Alrighttt cya!

hk day1 (Sunday, December 11, 2011)
Flight was on Saturday 8am! So got up early at 5+, exhausted!
Reached the airport and saw a bunch of youngsters waiting outside. Probably for me, but I ran away fast enough so they didn't catch me.
HYPED FOR TOY STORY LAND!!! My fav Pixar cartoon. I LOVE WOODY.
Reached our hotel, Cosmo! Located at the heart of Tai Kok Tsui. A relatively unknown place situated in Kowloon, Mongkok.
We discovered yummy congee, snacks, a pizza shack and even Share Tea in the region! Lovely.
We tried to find our way to the popular Langham Place at Mongkok station. And saw a shoot! I recognized the lady!!
Getting some chocolate fix @ Starbucks!
Finding the way to Victoria Peak, with me as the guide ofc. In the end, the queue for the peak tram was an estimated 1.5h so we left ):
Yes, a protest @ the base of the HSBC building. It's crazy! See the sign "Shame HSBC"? Some sight you won't see in our island.
i love donnie yen! catch every single movie of his.
we basically explored the Hong Kong Central area where IFC (international finance centre) was, with all the luxury goods and stuff. Explored the streets of Queen's road and had a steamy, satisfying break at the steamboat restaurant. I bought cheap suede from a street stall! Will attempt to make stuff if time permits.
A kind taxi driver brought us to Victoria Peak! There was a wax museum there, Madame Tussauds and we took photos w all the hollywood stars and etc! Robert Pattinson looks good for once. HAHA he does Edward no justice IRL.
Didn't really post much photos cos my fam doesn't like their faces to be shown ): yep ok haha & SORRY FOR MY CHUBBY FACE I PUT ON ALOT OF WEIGHT I THINK HAHAHA. Will work out from now on(:
