hong kong

back from hong kong....
my very first trip with long time buddies bobby and ivan....
spent 4 days and 3 nights in the city of hong kong which we literally did what the advert says...."mai dong xi chi dong xi".......I am still amazed at the amount of shopping we did....after several people had me convinced that hong kong is boring........let me paint you a picture: in the 4D3N, we spent half a day at ocean park...other than that it was shop till you drop literally....joints were weakened, toes were frozen, bellies were empty but hands were never empty, carrying bags of merchandises......

bobby got his oakleys
ivan with his TOUGH andy lau's
me with my Bally bag.....and of course with other miscellaneous stuff

hong kong was not fantastic but it was a good enough break from the monotony and rigorous routine of work....and to spend time with my buddies was definitely a delight

Top 10
1) Waking up every morning and then taking abt an hour nap while waiting for Ivan to be ready
2) Cantonese sounds totally foreign
3) Wanton appears to be similar to that of our local shrimp dumpling
4) Knowing that I can survive 14 degrees celsius with just a polo tee.......
5) Realising that Bobby smokes like a chimney
6) Rollercoasters are overrated
7) Some parts of hong kong are almost a replica of singapore
8) No rudeness, uncouth hongkongers witnessed
9) I like my mango desserts
10) My merchandises

wow...I finally blogged and it took me a trip to hong kong to get me reignited....
