hello from hong kong!

yup it's about 7 minutes past 3AM now on cuiyi's clock and i am still up because we have just finished cleaning the room and unpacking and bathing, and so finally here i am trying to update you guys back home (and elsewhere) about how we are here. =) well i would say we are getting on very well here cos seriously, hong kong isn't much different from singapore other than the cool weather over here now. i am sitting by the window as i type this, and it's like having natural aircon in the room. oh, cuiyi is the only one right now to have the internet connection cos the previous tenant dint take the cable along, unless jinli and jodi also found some cables somewhere. wah then i would be the only suay one. lol =P oh btw, jodi and jinli are staying quite far from us, cos they are in the north while we are in the south block.

the thing is, though the weather might warrant a jacket actually, but i dun think i will be using mine too often cos we will be walking so much that i will just perspire in my jacket! i tell you, walking to the nearest supermarket almost killed me just now. the 10-15mins seemed so long, and there were some upslopes along the way. maybe that's why you dun see many fat people ard in hong kong, cos they walk and walk and walk alot -_- i will have strong legs after 5 mths and hopefully lose some weight too. LOL =P

we haven had the chance to properly eat a hong kong meal yet, but i'm sure we'll have lots and lots of authentic hong kong food from tmr onwards. heh heh =P okok, i will make up for it by exercising too alrite? =P

oh btw, i spoke my first cantonese just now at the supermarket. i said, "there's 140 dollars here. (after she counted) is that right?" hahaha. but but but, she asked me a question that i dint understand, so i just said no. HAHA =P

it's finally starting to sink in that i am already in hong kong and that i will be here for the next 5 mths. =) ok, i want to sleep now, meeting jinli and jodi tmr morning at 11 to go walk some more. lol =P but before that, share some photos with you guys k? =)

thank you all for coming to send me off: my dearest family, jc best friends, cheryl, daphne and shannon (dint manage to take a photo with them cos we were running so late for boarding!), kairu (thank you so much for the little note and the photo!), waisan, chermaine.


my beloved family! ahhhh i think they will miss the noise i make lor, though i bet they wouldn't admit it. lol. my brother is enlisting on the 25 jan so that's one fewer person at home...i miss having my parents around to help me clean the room! lol =P and lao pa! you have to smile more when taking pictures lah!


even my aunt and uncles came so my sis was like, wah you only going for 5 mths got such a big entourage also ah. =P


i will miss these 4 and i bet they miss me already! =P hello high five gang, if you are reading this, i really like the card you guys got for me. thanks alot! =D


what i saw from the plane window about midway thru the flight. by the time we reached hong kong, though it was only 7pm, it looked as if it was 12midnight already or sth. =P


jinli and jodi on our way to get our freaking heavy luggage. pls dont ask me why they are so high, cos i have no idea either. maybe it's the singapore sling. lol =P


we took this on our way back from the supermarket, me trying to take a self-shot while balancing a mop, soap and shampoo among some other things, as jodi demonstrates...


this is my side of the room...i actually do feel quite at home at this place, which is good i suppose =)


and this is our room...it's quite small! i think it's smaller than the smallest in ntu. lol. but ok lah, so long as it feels warm and cosy, i'm fine with it. ok can i make another complaint? lol. it's good there's an attached toilet, but the bathroom is SO SMALL! i can barely move in there! =P

okay finally the last photo is up! i have been at this for an hour, it's 4AM now! goodness me. okok gotta go, goodnight friends! remember to tag after reading! =D
