Day off

Yesterday i had my first weekday off since i started working last week...

began the day nice and early cos we're poor
early session is HKD55 instead of the HKD100 at night!!
the two of us saved HKD90 in total!!

before we walked in to watch Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
we walked in and out of KFC failing to get portugese tarts for breakfast.

so we scrapped that and just walked into the cinema.
move was alright.
CGs still pretty, kids were... arguably less annoying than before, Prince Caspian still hot XD
but everything just seemed really rushed.
nothing in particular impressed me very much... just everything was quite pretty in general?
i feel like the movie didn't do the book justice even though i haven't read the book, hence i shall read the book... some time soon.
it is at least on my list of bedtime stories to read to my children when i have some XDDDD

then we walked into 信和 to both look for 2nd hand amei/faye or whatever CDs, as well as sell my signed Bosco EP T__________________T
after looking through the shop and failing to find the amei CD i wanted, i gathered all the courage i had in the little volume i have and asked the shop owner if i could sell my CD here.

he kindly asked, what have you got?
i reluctantly uttered, er... em... i've got... a... er... signed.... Bosc-
"no i don't want bosco"

T_____________________________________________T

i don't blame him, really i don't.


had lunch that was accompanied by HK style french toast (lol how does that work)
then went to wan chai for Johnson's briefing~ that went for 2 hours.
did not know wan chai, or at least that section of wan chai, literally has nothing to see :x
ended up sitting in a Pacific Coffee Company in the corner, ordered a latte in english and gave the girl at the counter a slight shock, received a large mug of bitter coffee with very thick and dense foam...
doesn't matter, i paid for the comfy couch and air-con, not for the coffee =P
*wishes i had better camera phone to take picture*

we took a dingding to Causeway Bay, because i don't like mtr-ing everywhere :-)
walked around some more, compulsively bought a beanie because johnson said i looked good in a beanie
and i've been wanting a long thin one that dangles at the back so i can wear when i get off the plane
thought it was reasonable price, so i tried on a few, decided on the one to get, and the sales lady told me a completely different price.
no she didn't lie to me.
she did tell me they had a price range.
i was just stupid enough not to ask...
oh well at least it's pretty

after steak dinner at Cafe de Coral (lol) we walked around some more in attempt to find dessert.

ended up spending the money on these cos Johnson really liked the grey dress, (i sound like i'm blaming him for all my purchases but no i thought they were really pretty as well) and they were 170 for one, 300 for two!

I'm justified right?! yes i am =P

i said i'll buy less in america.

i will.

really.

On my only day off, i was stupid enough to walk my little legs off again.
so we planned a day of MJ at home tomorrow waha

Repetitively materialistic days like these make it so hard to live the Christian life and so easy to forget God's grace.

---

I thank God for all the brothers and sisters in Christ He has given me in this life to remind me to look forward to my future eternal home, and that this place, is not my home.

I pray that this believe could be seen in the way I'm living now.
