backinthecantoshithole

Yeah, I am back. HK got considerably warmer while I was away.. now it's like in the mid - high end of 20 over degrees.

It was such a joy to be able to go back to Singapore. Caught up with my colleagues on Friday night, post birthday dinner with my family. I think my mom was very thrilled that I was back and she told me that my grandma was very pleased to hear that I came back. Spent some time with her on Friday, running some errands and shopping for a short while since I knew I wasn't gonna have much time with her that weekend.

Friday night was Yeacy's farewell drinks at Zouk and nothing has changed i.e. my SG colleagues are STILL raging alcoholics haha!

Saturday was spent with G where we started the day with my fave chicken rice at Far East Plaza and while we were finishing up our lunch, we saw WK and caught up with her while she had her lunch and had a short Ya Kun session.

G & I went to look at watch cases coz he wanna store his (super expensive) watches properly coz right now, these are just lying in bubble wraps in his drawer! *mock shock* I also bought a Samsung mp3 player, even though I wanted to buy a Ipod to begin with, the Ipod is just shabby compared to the Samsung and even Creative. We also did a manicure/pedicure together at PS and now we both have pretty nails! Tried to convince him to paint them purple but to no avail. :P

After dinner at Straits Kitchen, we proceeded to Timbre Bistro to have drinks with Kai, Yiling, Trish & SJ. This truly feels like how all Saturdays should be - not how I spend them in HK i.e. ALONE and doing fucking housework.

Sunday - met with Addy, Alex, ndr & Ian for lunch at The Rice Table. Oh-so-excellent! I miss real spicy dishes... all these fake 'curries' these HKies do - harrows! Curries are not just yellow coloured gravy stuff lor! Doh! Then Addy & I met up for a spot of shopping with Kai & Yiling where G joined us shortly after before we all headed towards HV for Addy's belated birthday celebration.

Spent Sunday night at G's where both of us tried to freakin file our taxes but the freakin website doesn't bleeding work! Then it was off to the airport at 5am and back here in Cantoshithole.

9 more days to G coming to HK!
