Another day of eating, eating and eating!! That's all i did since i came here. Shall do some shopping from tomorrow onwards. Hope that shops will be opened by then. Anyone need anything?? Just tag me. I'll try to get it for you.
Horse racing day today. I bet on 7 races, HKD20 each. With my expertise in guessing and seeing which jockey is handsome, i won 1 race only and got back HKD131. So i lose around HKD 9 which is less then s$2.00. But i didn't go to the horse racing centre, just watch TV at home and placing the bets through the phone. Just an experience.

I always have this phoebia for animals. It's because of their hair, even it's just a inch short. Ironically, i like dogs. And i'm trying to overcome the fear. I'm leaving in a village-like area now in HongKong, and every household owns at least 2 dogs, and my house has 3. They are big Chinese dogs and i bet renee will like them. Shall take pictures of them and post it.
Something which NEVER crossed my mind that i will do in my life: I sayang-ed the three cute things and I brought them out for walks around the village area. The mum is called chocky, the son is called Maxi and the daughter called sheba. Though i still bit my lips when they try to smell my hand and run towards me. It's just the fear inside me that make me back off. They are like national atheletics, they can jump like 2 metres high, meaning beyond the fence and out of the house but they are not allowed to, cuz you might not know who they might hurt along the way to play and fight with which neighbour's dogs. Sheba is the fierce but hum ji one. Maxi is fierce but brainless. Chocky is the fattest and least atheletical. Sheba will try to pick up fight when she other dogs, she barks at them and walk towards them, but the hum ji kia will u turn and run away if the situation is bad, and meanwhile, Maxi will chiong toward his opponent and bite it. And they always get scolded when they run away from home. But they know their way home after playing. I can't even find my way through the village.
I always thought it only happen on television that dogs understand what humans say. But they really understand what i say, they sit when i ask them to, they come when i ask to, they go when i ask to, and know what's the cutest thing? When i say 'Hand', they will life up their paw and put it on my hand. Sooooooo cute!!! No wonder they are called friends of man. I'm considering to get one when i get back to S'pore.

I'm in HongKong!!! It's been 16 years since i've celebrated Chinese New Year in HongKong. If you think Chinatown is squeezy in Singapore these 2 days, it's 10 times as squueezy here. You basically can't move. But the stuff sold here has much more variety and cheaper. I just had reunion dinner with my daddy's side's relatives. All my cousins grow till i can't reconise them, i wouldn't have recognised them if i'm shopping along the streets. And it feels quite funny looking at my daddy's 6 other siblings at the same eye line, they look so alike, just some stretched longer, some stretched sideways, some taller version of my daddy, some shorter version, some fatter version though hardly anyone skinnier than him. But 2 common. Their receding hairline and their big tummy. Haha. Everyone has it!
Counting down to CNY in 5 min.. Starting of my collection of angbaos.. Wahaha!!

Don't wanna mention about valentines day this year. Quite saddening though we celebrated 1 day in advance. But he didn't seem to appreciate what i've done. Whatever~ We didn't even meet and i'm leaving for HongKong tomorrow. So i won't be seeing him till i come back.

Finally went to make a bank draft for my continuation school fee which is supposed to be due half a year ago. Not that i dragged the matter, but my first attempt to pay through internet by mastercard failed. The second which is the last attempt also failed. And i was notified by mail that i must make draw a UK bank draft.
And this period so happen that chinese new year is around the corner and everyone rushes to the bank to make new note exchange and stuff. The bank was so packed and the queue started outside the bank. I queued for 45 minutes just to draw ths bank draft that cost me a BomB. When i was about to finish, this old auntie in her 70s tapped my shoulder and asked meto to help her change $10 notes from the counter. I was like,#$%^%$#!! Auntie!! Please queue up.. then she was saying, just help her change, the lady at the counter won't know. Think the lady heard what she say and asked me whether i know her. Then she told the old auntie to queue up and then i left. If it's you.. will you help the auntie??
After that i went to hougang mall's singpost to mail that bankdraft. After queuing for the envolope and stamps, guess what i did?? I threw the envolope into the wrong column of the post box - into the franked mail box. I told the perwson working at the Singpostabout it, and she said that it's alright, they will sort it out. I really really hope that they will get it done correctly so that UK can receive my draft and hence won't with-hold my results when it's out.
After all the queuing and stuff, which was like 2 hours later, i make my way back to the childcare to return the locker key. Mrs Chan was like asking me to go back and work after my exams, and is willing to raise my pay. Whahaha! I'm SO SO SO happy that the kids still remember me!! They're still so loveable and cute!! I love them!!
