Pre-CNY days

such meaningless title but totally fruitful post

let the summaries continue~

Saturday 29th January, 2011
Congee breakfast then bauhaus factory outlet with johnson and his mum
yumcha-ed with some of his family
one of his cousin would be going around aust for a working holiday
so we sort of clicked cos i hear things from various other working holiday people and got excited <3

watched 新少林寺 with andy lau and nicholas tse and tiny bit of jacky chan and some other chinese fighting actor
...
once again... nothing very bad...
acting was quite impressive since it was andy lau and nich tse, nich tse makes quite a good evil guy btw :D
pretty shots pretty scenes... but it prob dragged on a little bit too long at various places to "show off" the acting skills for my liking
overall cliche plot that ran quite smoothly due to many years of refining a formula =P

then went home a little too late for tuen nin faan where all the elders of the family appeared in the house
where awesome food cannot be absent since my dad is around and also the newish uncle who is actually a professional cook who cut our baby pig so pro-ly.

Baby pig uncut

Crap & vermicilli (?) pot

Beef tongue & mushrooms

Monday 31st January, 2011
Highlight: Johnson's graduation from his AIA Apprenticeship where the speeches at the ceremony made me feel like the whole program is a cult =P

Real highlight: mum fully cooperating and called me to get me home so i can get out of their after party XDD
is sort of mean but i don't really feel like drinking with people i don't know at all =P

but i did wear my new super high heels and was super tall =P


Tuesday 1st February, 2011
I feel like Macau day deserves a whole entry to itself but cos it's late and its early CNY morning i think i would rather sleep...

so i'll just link some pictures... and fill in when i feel like haha

thanks Kenny for going to the new wharf that even he hasn't been to before, taking us around all day, and shouting us the lovely dinner!
thanks William for eventually picking up Kenny's call and joining us for dinner and giving us endless opportunities to laugh til i lost my breath~

such an awesome day.
so awesome.
<3

I thank God for this beautiful creation, and yet again for my brothers and sisters to share it with, even though this is only a temporary world. 

I pray that I would continue to appreciate this world, but more so long for the new creation to come, for it would be many many times better.

Catching up with my life

because i have been lazy and has been ordered to hang around my parents' bed more often before they go to sleep rather than going online on Ophelia in the living room...

i'm obviously very behind on blogging, so let's summarise once again


Saturday 23rd January, 2011
Met up with Valerie Rose at iSquare @ TST,
and was reminded that this girl doesn't need any physical or financial support,
but needs all the emotional support and love that one can give.
Must remember to give her more :-)

Also found out she doesn't particularly like Japanese food, or rather, any cuisine that's got a sweet twist to it, besides a proper dessert dish.
Must remember that also.



Sunday 24th January, 2011
Went to some old people's home with MK Baptist fellowship to supposedly clean their tiny little studio, or just a tiny room with a sink rather, but the old person we were supposed to find was super agile and didn't let us clean his stuff even though he's got dishes unwashed piled up in the sink.
He used to be a professional cook apparently~

No matter, we talked to him and he was happy for us to come visit him again.
Hope we can do that and not lie :-)


Monday 25th January, 2011
Began the day nice and early~ in preparation for one whole day of food and fun
only to find myself the only there on time T_T
In the end, cherry tong, dai big, cho and the late coming dikdik all got there..
But I swear no one besides donna qualifies to warn me not to be late no more =.=

So the first stop was the awesome dimsim that is at Sham Shui Po recommended by Osco Cho aka Michelin Food Guide XD

All the dim sim were generally quite awesome, but the must try would be the 蘿蔔糕 (carrot cake) and 叉燒包 (BBQ pork bun)

like OMG just looking at this photo makes me feel like eating it again.

and i shall wahaha 

when ang comes back :D:D:D:D:D

the next stop was K at mk where sai lo and some other ridiculously late and disorganised person finally joined us =P

sang for... about 5 hours i think...

started to run out of songs to sing O_o 

so we left for dinner and where we were joined by jeremy and johnson

the service at that hot pot place was horribly unprofessional, rude and disrespectful

the food was acceptably mediocre but was definitely overpriced 

overall pathetic impression of the place and will never set foot in there ever again

*is super unimpressed*

So this day began beautifully but ended not so cool-ly.

but overall still some awesome time catching up with old time brothers and sisters <3

Tuesday 26th January, 2011

Basically stayed at home all day

Got rejected by boyfriend for dinner cos he said he was too tired and too poor, 

but who went to play arcade games after his day of outing

sigh

so went out to have dinner with parents who left early for their theological lessons

and i had to finish my dinner in a restaurant alone sitting at a 4 seater.... 

is also unimpressed.

so got myself a ring to make myself feel better (lol)

Wednesday 27th January, 2011 

Music practice at Sham Shui Po... think that was the only thing i did that day

only time i left the house haha

Thursday 28th January, 2011

Financial meeting again with my personal financial planner/boyfriend at Starbucks@Gateway

left for some super overpriced wanton noodle and quite nice hongky street side cheung fun

walked around kowloon park aquatic centre and the park itself for fun :-)

Friday 29th January, 2011

mum on holiday again so got woken up by her voice telling me that we're going to yum cha with ah poh in like... less than an hours time =P

then walked further out to the local supermarket for cheap cat food then window shopped around with mum at jusco in preparation for the 5% off on the 2nd of Feb XD

okay that's one week done~

now on to this week...

---

I can never thank God enough for happy times with my blood family and my brothers and sisters in Christ,

I pray that everyone else around me can see and share this joy from being a child of God
