Finally, a decent weekend!

Some of you asked me why the blog hasn't been updated. Guess what i have actually been busy! *mock horror*

i started part of the blog but had to accompany my mom n sis out while theyw ere here between Sat to Tues. Therefore I started part of the blog (as below) and the rest i shall just put it in point form if not this will be way too long)

Last Friday after work (like abt 8.30pm) Michelle asked me to have dinner with her since her husband was not around this weekend. We took a bus to Lan Kwai Fong and i've almost forgotten how that place is like. I only remember it being very slopey.. and it still was.. and teeming with ang mohs (or gwei los) as the hongkies would say. Had dinner at a very riotous diner/drinking place where a bunch of drunk American gals were making a lot of noise. Nonetheless, it was still interesting to get out for once!!!! and have dinner with a human!
We had a drink with our dinner and had a good chat abt all things nonsense.

On Sat, my mom & sis came. My mom brought me a rice cooker, my lamp & my 3 eyed alien stuffed toy. We went to TST for dinner, which was good!! Then we tried to wander around that area (saw Chunking Mansions where the famous movie ChungKing Express was based on) then can't find anything to shop for so we headed to Mong Kok where the shopping is always good!!

My sis bought clothes and i bought a clock for the house, a towel (so cute with polka dots!) and two belts. Then on Sunday we woke up abt 9am to go to yum cha at Central at the pier. After that, they went to Disneyland while i decided to explore Central a bit since i've never really been there before.

I cut through the station and headed towards SoHo (which is a very hip place in New York i assure u.. so hip that i can queue for the same toilet at Starbucks as Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth when i was there in 2003. Celebs are photographed at SoHo all the time in NY. It's that hip.)

Well SoHo is a good 15 min walk from Central MTR station... so i walked... bloody area is slopes galore.. and i found the famous Central escalators... it goes from one suburb to another suburb and it's considered the world's longest escalator. Well technically it is kinda long but the escalator had like get off points so it's not one long unbroken escalator.. nonetheless.. impressive!

So my folks came back from Disneyland and said that it was quite fun. but it was a rehearsal day which explained the free tix, and it closed at 3pm.... so we went out to dinner to eat roast goose. It's like duck so i really don't know what all the fuss is about.

Anyway, they left on Tuesday, but not after my mom made a few dishes and stuck it in the fridge so that i can just heat up and cook rice n veggies to go with it. Save my hassle of having to cook, Yay.

And it was back to work work work with the fortnightly conference call with NY (utter waste of time sometimes) at 9pm HK time which usually lasts till abt 10 plus 11!! Sigh.. MM and I were so stoned by the end of the day and MT sounded really pissed off when the Americans went on n on... yeah well it's the beginnin of the day for them but we have been working for like 10 bloody hours already lor!

It was Erica (the mktg coordinator's) birthday on Thurs and we only found out on Thurs itself. So on Friday Cardin (the other mktg asst) and I went to buy a cake for her and some of us in the office gave her the cake and sang her a bday song, heh, it's a bit like back in the SG office just that this was outta our own pocket.

Met up with Elene's fren Rena for dinner and drinks last nite. Am relieved that we can get along alright. Even though she's 31, being very Singaporean helps! She says that there is a group of SIngaporeans that she meets up with once every 2 months and when they meet up next, she'll call me along. Am meeting her again on Sun to catch Brothers Grimm! Yay a hint of a social life finally!

Okie, i had to squeeze one week worth of stuff onto one post so i hope u are not cock-eyed yet.
Heh!
Back to my instant mee! YUM!
