Long Past Halloween...and Study Abroad Fair'07
Halloween? Long over...but this blog have been back-dated for a long time cos i have been playing too much in hk till no time to update it...now spending some time to maintain it...
31 oct 07, we spent our halloween at LKF...again...cos most parties wld be at LKF...it's super duper crowded...juz like visiting chinatown during cny. it's with the usual gp...but this time a bigger gp cos the other singaporeans joined us... like sophia, sandra, ho yin and my brother...who visited me with ah ma... halloween is more happening in HK...everyone on the streets dress up...be it the young or old...really nice...cos they're daring enuff to be different...the young ones would dress like cinderalla...how sweet is that...pretty little ones...After LKF, we headed down to yi gei for supper...

We prepared some agar agar and kaya toast for ppl to try some sg food...we wld loved to prepare more good stuffs like chicken curry, popiah, kacang puteh...but got budget...all too expensive...Overall..we had fun esp wking in a gp and preparing all the stuffs tgr...look at the pics and u'll noe...

Back at home....
i have been home for several days...still feeling disoriented...haven't really settle down...bags still unpack...
I felt so super duper sad when i had to leave HK...Tears keep rolling down whenever i think of the people i had to leave behind and the memories that we once shared...of course i know we will meet one day but it will never be the same as what we've experienced in HK...
I miss HK..miss the Sassoon girls, miss the freezing cold weather, miss all my friends there....

Madame Tussauds, Vic Peak, Chi Wan Trek and Bday surprise for the gals
It has been a long time since i updated my blog...sorry...have been so bz with pjts and exams...now am a free person once again!!! Lotsa happenings for the past few mths...me gng to compile into a single entry and put lots of pics...
26/9/07 Victoria Peak & Madame Tussauds
Being a public holiday..we decided to go central and have lunch at Lan Fong Yuen. Brought them to try the famous ji ding mian and milk tea. After lunch...we took a walk along central & took pics along the way...posing everywhere as we headed to the tram station to get to the Peak.
Purpose for visitng the peak is to see SUNSET. At the same time, we oso visited Madame Tussauds; a wax museum in hk...its definitely not as good as the one in vegas...but still worth a visit!
7/10/07 Trekking in Chi Wan
Another trip with the Ramblers...this time round, i jio cheryl, ivan and desiree with me..carol can't go cos she doesn't have shoes...she only has her sandals, boots and slippers...it was a tiring trek that lasts for 5hrs and it's so hot! and guess wat...there were ppl treakking in their jeans...omg...how to??? i already sweat so much wearing shorts...not to mention anything long...
Though tiring, the trek up the hill is definitely worthwhile...great scenary awaits ahead of us!
Tung Chung, Our Meeting PointScenary fr the hilltop...all worth it!!!

We made cheryl and pauline go to the 1st floor to look for clues and they have to get all them hidden in the rooms before they can find us at the rooftop...

Beijing Trip 13/10/07 to 17/10/07
The 5 of us (Sophia, Steven, Cheryl, Ivan and me) went to Beijing during our reading week. It was a last minute decision and so we paid a little more for the air tix. I din noe that there is this place in mongkok that has 4 floors filled with travel agencies...so we went to source for best bargains...but nothing good...
We went for a 5-day trip and visited places like Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Tianamen, Tiantan, Wanfujing shopping district...Tried the famous peking duck...and other street food! Overall the experience was good...juz that i din like the ppl there....so rude and kept pushing us...We're supposed to travel on budget; living in a hostel which was clean and safe in a good location and took public buses all over...but for food wise, we spent a little more...to pamper ourselves! I esp like this place in Beijing...called Hou Hai. A place similar to Clarke Quay, but many times nicer...we're able to see our reflection fr the river...and the whole stretch of bars are lined along this river...which makes this place so peaceful and relaxing...

We practised our cutesy dance choreographed by Christy...easy dance to master...so we put up this performace on the last day of the fest...every floor's performance is fantastic...they have alot of creativity...i esp like 6th, 12th and 14th floor's performance!
Ok...Time for pics...

Ocean Park Halloween Bash
We had tix for the night admission (i.e. from 5.30 to 12 midnight)...all thanks to jiahe for getting us the cheaper tix. Ocean Park was crowded...filled with many many ppl. But we din have to wait a long time to get inside the haunted houses...We managed to cover most of the ghost houses...it was pretty scary, as least for me, belonging to the weakest link. Who cares to join me?
I tin carol oso belong to this gp :)
Imagine us in a straight line, forming a "too-too" train...walking straight into the houses, sceaming like mad...esp me...screaming when i first stepped into the hse...super scared...tried to shut my eyes and ears up so i can't see the ghosts and no one can whisper anything to me! We were so frightened till we got stucked onto the ground, the guys got to keep pulling us from the front and pushing us from the back! haha! We had a strategic formation, having guys at the front & back of us...but the gals were still scared, except for desiree...brave gal! I muz apologised to those whom i've held too tight and accidentally hurt them, esp carol... and cheryl...held onto their hands so tightly...till it turned red...
The streets were scary as well..."ghostly" ppl would jump up and scare the wits out of us. Those ppl tend to target gals....cos we're more timid, i think. Ohh ya...cable car ride up the hill was fantastic..we had a good view of everything, the sea, themepark..
Overall conclusion is that...its fun but scary...

China National Day
Today is a Public Holiday again...and we're enjoying it. We went to try the australian milk pudding at Jordan Road...but it sux and it sux big time...super awlful...the one at Macau tastes much betta...
After food, we walked to Museum of the Art around TST to find a good spot to watch fireworks. I was shocked to see the place filled with so many ppl at 4pm when the fireworks only starts at 9.15pm. We found a centralised spot and sat to chat and play games till 9.15pm. It was a long long wait... longest time i waited to see fireworks...and i told myself, it'd betta be good...
Crowd before the fireworks...it's only 5pm
Symphony of the Night
and it was good...somehow similar to the one in Macau but it lasted longer, bout 25mins...the firewks has got harry porter theme...and smiley faces, number 8 as prosperity....alot of diff pattterns...
