overwhelming!!

wahh after last night i'm so happy.

last night Miss Sixty has a function to launch a new brand "Killah". it was held at a club. for two days, i've been helping them pack gift boxes and press kits.



names mentioned below are my collegues
the event commences at 9pm. In the office i finalized everything before the delivery men picked up my boxes. then karen took me upstairs to find some Killah clothes for me to wear. she picked out a pair of jeans and a yellow top...er which was a bit over yellow for me lol


i left the office together with my new found friends Gin and Celia. the girls treated me well and showed me some sights along the way:





we caught a taxi to Tsim Sa Gui, then had to ride the ferry across to Central (our destination) cos the traffic jam was horendous! it was a really nice ride. only costed HK$2.20 and we got to see lots of city lights lite up by the harbour.




we still had some time spare so we went to the nearest mall and got our dinner. i had a texas wrap:

er, we underestimated our timing and had great trouble catching a taxi to the club, so we arrived there about 40mins late...


once there we helped with setup. piling the gift boxes on the table. by this time i had enough of seeing the boxes!!!! the guests started arriving and i handed them the entry pass+sticker.

the show started at 9.30 and was amazing. the DJ spinned some good mixes. it was crowded inside. i got a spot behind the press




BUT THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT WAS SEEING CELEBRITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are "Twins", the company spent tens of thousands to have their appearance for one hour! imagine earing that much ...


they wore Killah clothes




OMG, and then as they were exiting the function, i was by the lift and i asked if we could take a picture :D



ah, my night was fully satisfied. i was still shaking afterwards wooooooooooooo :)))

facial

i experienced my first facial last saturday, hyde took me to her usual place.




it was so nice and super relaxing. the massage was superb :D ah and then the person started squeezing my pimples. this was soothed by a cool face mask. it was jelly like when they smuther it on my face then it starts to harden. i took a nap during this time hehhe when i woke up i started blowing bubbles thru the mouth. the whole process took 2hours for a sleezy price of NZ$25!

Hi all :)

posting from kitty's office. i started work here on monday, i'm helping them make gift boxes. all 300 of them! i have to fold them into a takeaway box then fill them with a makeup bag and a cake shaped towel. today i packed them all into courier boxes. woo! later i gota make up some booklets for the press. the company is Miss Sixty (hahah reminds me of claire!!), they are having a event tomorrow night at Lan Kwai Fong (formentioned clubbing street), Kitty is taking me there after work 2mor. they have hired some celebrities also, like Twins.

I have moved out of Stanley into Sai Kung where my dad's family lives. it is near the countrysid n is more convienent here as i can hitch a ride with kitty to work. i've been playing with her kids, Gigi 4.5yrs old and Hugo. they'r so cuute!

we had a bbq on kitty's rooftop on sunday night with nearly all of dad's family. real nice! lots of seafood n meat. Hk style bbq is different to NZ, Hk ppl skew their own food and cook for themselves on a coal fire.

that day, i accompanied Hyde, Vincent, Caroline and Aunty Carmen to their Final Fitting of wedding growns. took many beautiful photos and will share soon :)

boardcasting from stanley public library

yay! so happy :) i came down to Stanley Plaza this morning to read thailand travel books, been here for 4hours, and i just discovered they have a computer room with free internet! woop :) i shall fill you in on yesterday...

arised at 830am to take Milo for a walk down to the beach, he kindly took a dump right infront of a security guide! gaarrh! it was the biggest turd i've ever picked up. after we got home, i got ready to go out with Aunty Lydia, we went to Yum Cha with grandma. she was so happy to go :) and ate a lot.

Then Aunty Lydia dropped me off at the MTR station. i went shopping on my own @ City Plaza. it bought back many memories, many shops and layout has remained the same. the ice skating rank is still there. i was planning to go there to meet Ya Ya, but her phone was switched off for some reason and i never got thru. i bought a jacket, top, photo album and some stationary. MTR-ed back to Chai Wan shopped more then mini-bused back home. was cool travelling on my own :) not so scary. this woman sitting beside me on the minibus asked me to help her with english, she wanted to leave a msg for someone on the phone.

had dinner with Hyde's family then we went for a walk down to the beach again. she showed me the library, bought a cold drink and went back home.

this morning i took milo out, took a new way, kinda got lost and ended up walking for 30mins longer yikes.

gotta go back to get ready, meeting Hyde @ Central for shopping tonight.

see u tomorrow :)

living in HK commences

last night's dinner was very enjoyable. both the food and the company. aunty lydia bought crabs mmm. we could walk to the restaurant from our house. on the way there we took a stroll down by the beach, it's been renovated so much since april last year! there are now lots of apartment towers, the bar extend to the beach and there is a wharf for poeple to fish on. on the opposite side of the wharf there lies an island which can be reached by taking a boat for 30mins. some say u could even swim there :)

i share a bunk with my cousin Sky, he doesn't get home til the early morning cos he works at his bar. this morning i got up at 830am and went for a run down to the beach. it's my goal while i'm here to go for a run every morning. i reached the shopping plaza (10mins away), went back on the wharf to watch ppl fish and take in the sun. afterwards, i went to the supermarket to get some tissue (i caught a dain cold while in singapore!) and some bread. i ate my bread on the way back home (twas a double cheese n sauage roll mmm). got back and gave some bread to my aunties.

today out plan is to go and visit grandma in her retirement home n have some afternoon tea with her, then meet hyde @ Time Square after her work and shop/dinner.

update: bought jeans n a Mr Happy tshirt. Benson treated us to yummy sushi train!

Aunty carmen said we're not leaving until 3pm so i went down to the beach again. headed to the market and bought a t-shirt for sundy (it's billabong with french words on it) visited Aunty lydia at her art gallery, then we got some lunch. took a mini bus by myself back home :)

woop! that's my morning.

ps, my cellphone number in HK is 63064361

back on solid grounds

i touched down in HK today at 12.15pm. the custom proces was awesome! i cut the line using my Resident ID card, got automatic entry and didn't need my luggage checked! aaah peace of mind :) that's why i love HK! auntie carmen and uncle ken came to pick me up, on the way to Stanley, we passed a whole heap of new infrastrucures, bleemy! it's incredible how many new buildings and islands they have erected up in ONE year!

one of the island consists of a heap of residential towers, the only way of access is by boat. it's promoting an eco-friendly surrounding.

I've settled in :) going to have dinner with most of mum's family tonight then going for a walk with my cousin caroline's dog- Milo. woopies!

cheeks

touchdown in singapore

hello from singa int' airport :)

i just finished checking in my luggage for tomorrow, boy it was troublesom. i tell ya, while the inflight service was exceptional, they need more ground crew in the airport to help lost souls like me. i sent 1.5hours doing luggage stuff. checkin out then checkin in again. should have listened to mum and get my big luggage sent directly to HK.

the flight went quick and was cool! i got talking to a flight attendant and she gave me two packs of cards. pity they don't serve alcohol in those miniture bottles anymore. would have been cool to keep a selection of those!

thru out the flight i was being served with food and drinks continously. had two "singapore sling' cocktails to start with lol went woozy so quickly. was like a head rush, makes you ultra emotional. i cried in the sissyest movies lol sat on the aisle next to a couple from england.

i got a 5hours to kill before i can check into my hotel room so i'l do some browsing, missing u all :) xxo

CIAO!

Lan Kwai Fong






Hong Kong's hotspot for drinking, clubbing and dinning is a must visit!

a whole street dedicated to the well-off locals, possibly sighting a few celebrities (andy lau?? oo) and tourists; mostly caucasians 'n international students. this street hits off most Friday and Saturday nights where english becomes the predominate language this place is sure to take my likings :D particularlly...





a long tube beer holder with a velcro strap around it so that people could just wear it around their neck and go bar hopping! yummy :)
