HK & ShenZhen

I'm currently heading back to HKIA after shopping at CityGate. There's a lot of shops there. Just that the things are over my budget. I saw some shirts fr Guess that I will love to have but after weighing how much it will cost vs how often I will wear them, I decided not to buy it. I didn't buy a lot of things. Just 1 spag top and a belt from Espirit.

It took me a couple of hours before I crossed the border and reached the hotel. I reached the hotel only at 7+. I was supposed to meet Tracy for dinner but I can hear how tired she sounded on the phone after a day of photo shoot so I told her to stay home and rest.
I walked from the hotel to DongMen Bu Xing Jie. It's not very far. Around 10 to 15 mins walk. I grabbed a simple dinner there. DongMen Bu Xing Jie reminded me of Shenyang's Bu Xing Jie. I saw this top that I like very much! However, it cost a crazy price of SGD70+ after conversion! I wonder jow many people in ShenZhen can afford that price... After walking around for a while, I went back to the hotel. I didn't want to stay out until too late as I heard it's not very safe here.

So tiring

HK!

I reached HK not long ago. The plane touched down at ard 12.20. By the time I collected my luggage & all, it was ard 1. I dropped off my luggage at their Left Baggage service. Then proceeded to makan at Hui Lau Shan, a famous dessert store in HK.

I was supposed to go straight to ShenZhen fr HK airport but I'm already ard the area, I decided to drop by CityGate first b4 I go ShenZhen. CityGate is a factory outlet mall in HK. I want to go there and walk walk see see. :P I will be heading back to the airport to collect my luggage after that then take a bus into Shenzhen. My initial plan was to take a bus to ShenZhen directly from CityGate. Sadly though, that bus stops only at Huanggang Port or ShenZhen Bay Port, after which I have to make my owb way to LuoHu. Forget it lah... Especially when I heard that it will be quite hard to get taxis from there.

The customer service guy who sells the Airport Express pass is very nice. I was enquiring how much will it cost if I go to Tung Chung. I think he got a shock. Lol... He told me if I'm going to Tung Chung, take the bus S1. There's no need for me to take the Airport Express if I'm going to Tung Chung. He saved me HKD 56.50. :P

Let's see how my trip will turn out... :D

Full!

Ha... My luggage is already full even before I even step into HK and China's shores... How am I going to shop like that? Where can I put my things? :P


Pacman's 30th Birthday

In celebration of Pacman's 30th birthday, look at what Google did to their page!



You can play the game in that very page too! I think it's so cool lor... :D


WooHoo!

Ok... I am now packing my luggage... Counting down to my trip to ShenZhen & HK. The best thing about travelling alone? I can change my plan anytime. :P I actually planned to go ShenZhen directly from HK airport. I have just changed my mind. I will be dropping by CityGate in HK first and shop around before I move on to ShenZhen. Best thing is I just found out that they have a direct bus that will be able to bring me directly to ShenZhen. WooHoo~! :D

Changes in Orchard

Honestly hor, I have been so busy with my projects and exams recently that I had not been to Orchard for quite some time. Even the times when I was in Orchard previously, the furtherest I went is probably Ngee Ann City. From Orchard MRT station>Wisma Atria>Ngee Ann City, I usually go through the underpass so I have not been on the streets for quite some time.

So imagine the amazement that I feel when I see the transformation of Orchard Road. All the shopping centers that I used to be familiar with, had undergone a major plastic surgery! It's ok if I can't recognise the newer shopping centers like 313 Somerset and Orchard Central it took me some time to recognise The Hereens because of how much it had changed! I feel so damn sua ku lor... -_-'''

Since I was in Dhoby Ghaut today and I had sometime on hand before my next appointment, I took the opportunity to shop around 313 Somerset. The place is ok with shops that can be found in any other shopping centers. I got bored shopping there and found a cafe to park myself in and research for my HK trip. :P I think it's probably time for me to get myself updated with Orchard Road soon before I get myself labelled as the mountain tortoise by my friends... :P

Projects

I got back the results for all my projects liao... A bit disappointing... :(

The project that I hoped will get a High Distinction only managed a Distinction. That is after my lecturer sort of gave us quite good comments about the project. Another one that I hoped got a Credit managed a Distinction. I should be happy that we got a Distinction for that right? I'm not... So ironic right? I actually hope and wanted us to fare worse. Long story lah... lol... The last one was a disaster... For the first time since I started this course, I got a Pass for my projects. For my past 6 modules that I had went through, I got 3 High Distinction, 2 Distinction and 1 Credit. This one really destroy my record lor... Sigh... Thanks to that stupid lecturer who did not give clear instructions on how to do the project. :(

Ultimately, I am just happy that I managed to clear all my projects. I hope I cleared all my papers too. Doomsday is on 3rd June. Wish me lots of luck!

ShenZhen + HongKong

I will be going over to ShenZhen & HK for a short trip at the end of the month. There's a tradeshow in ShenZhen that one of my colleague wants me to attend to help out. I was thinking help out for what? I know nothing also... -_-'''

Anyway, I will be going there 2 days earlier to explore ShenZhen. Plus my classmate will be there to take her bridal studio photos then so I will be kpo-ing. :D Since I am flying back via HK, I am extending my trip over the weekend too. I guess this is the break that I need badly...

Exams sucks

This semester exams is especially bad... I think almost every paper I have the "F*** this time siao liao" feeling when I saw the paper. Half way through my paper I will have the "我问天" pattern... Really damn jialat lor...

I smoked through my first paper, 50% of the 2nd paper and 80% of the last paper. I think I have to pray very hard to get a pass this time round. It doesn't help that I was down with fever somewhere in between my papers too. Damn... This time really siao liao lah... I hope my ninja skills is gd enough... Sigh...
