Nothing much happened so there isn't really anything for me to blog. (Other than the unfinished post of the hong kong trip) The main highlight was my aussie cousin Hau, who came over for a 3 week long holiday. Great to have him around though, all the shopping and late suppers really served as a deserved break to me. Not to mention the countless number of trips to Costa Del Sol, such a nice condo really...Ironically, I may be joining him for 3 yrs soon. LOL!
I dunno why my tag board is down. Can't seem to get it working. Anyway, will post more when I'm free.

After dining at cafe de coral, we made our way up to the peak. We took the hard way by travelling upwards via the mid-levels escalators. There are alot, and I seriously mean alot of escalators, forgot the actual number though.
After finishing the mid-levels escalators, we provided to take a cab up the peak. Hahahaha. 5 people share cab cheap ma, so we decided to give our legs some much deserved rest. Too bad the trip to the peak was like less than 5 minutes. -_-
We left the peak via the tram, will was travelling on an extremely steep slope, kinda scary though. On the way down, you get to see alot of nice condos, which are practically built on the mountains. So we went back to hotel to meet the other 2 marist brothers, Alex and Mark.
Soon we went to Lan Kwai Fong to have our dinner at the famous restaurant called Yung Kee (if I dont recall wrongly) , the price was a little more expensive, but the food served were all really decent and nice. Soon, we went to club at Lan Kwai Fong. The clubbing scene kinda sucks. Maybe we went to the wrong club?
Alright folks, that's all for day 2.

Starto: Day 2 - Fri - 14 July 06 - HK Evergreen Hotel - Full of anticipation
(P.S. Suddenly it feels very difficult to blog about something that has occured like close to 2 mths ago, haha but I will try my best to recall, using the photos as a guide.)
Yup, I guess we all woke up rather early on friday. We had our schedule changed coz Shiwei needs to go to the Singapore Consulate to get his temporary passport done. That place was located somewhere in Central I think. Therefore we had our breakfast in Central. We went to this dim sum restaurant called :
Anyway this restaurant's dim sum is so-so only, not that fantastic as we thought. This is also the famous restaurant where a tycoon was assasinated in broad daylight, and a place whereby the uber rich Li Ka Shing frequents.
Shiwei taking photo for his temporary passport.
The residential buildings behind are called the mid-levels. Considered quite expensive I think.
ICAC Building. Familiar huh? Haha
Finally we arrived...
at the consulate of Singapore. Cool pic huh? ^_^ v
At causeway bay shopping, shopping paradise.
Famous fast-food chain Cafe-de-Coral. Bad service, sucky food. Weird huh?

It's almost a year of studies, which began when I was still in army. How time flies. Finally I have a taste of life without studies and work. My peers all experienced this before right after they ORD.It's my turn now. Muahahaha.
Right now, I'm pretty free I guess, but still got quite a couple of things I have to settle. Parents' biz stuff for instance, I should spend my free time now brainstorming and getting the important stuff done. Earlier on in a post, I commented that MDIS papers are easy. Actually I should take back my word. Hahahaha. I think I should have more confidence in myself rather than commenting that the paper is easy. Right? Anyway, just hope that everything goes well for the final 2 papers, sp that my uni application will be successful.
Cousin Hau is coming over to Singapore soon, with his girlfriend of coz! Both are doctors, perfect match I think. Gotta plan where to bring them, so that they can enjoy their holiday to the fullest. In addition, my maternal grandma will be going for a heart operation this thursday. It's a simple operation with little risk, so she will be out of the hospital in no time. Wish her a speedy recovery. =)
Recently I'm hooked onto this new taiwanese drama called 'The Hospital'. Reason why I started watching was because the main actress is so damn pretty. Buay tahan. Basically this show depicts the office politics that occurs in a hospital. Just finished episode 9. Pretty good but there is yet any mega tear-jerking scene. In Taiwan, they just released episode 20. I wonder how many are there in total?
Visit the official webpage to know more about the show.

I know it's like duh? But all the while, since primary school began, I never really put in effort into studying. PSLE was last minute work, so was the O levels. Both were still average, but it was totally different for A levels. I did the last minute stun again and the ending result was so devastating. Anyway, let's just hope that everything will be smooth for the last 2 papers. Pray for me if you can, thanks! =)
Will blog more and continue on the hong kong trip after my last paper on Sept 11th. Tata~

In less than 3 weeks I'm gonna sit for the exams of my last 2 modules. Guess I will be busy mugging. I will continue the post on the Hong Kong trip when I have the free time and mood. No point blogging about a happy event with a frustrated mind.
Till then...

Starto: Day 1 - Thur - 13 July 06 - 1400 hrs - Sg - Excited
The trip is here finally! A trip to get out of Singapore, freed from the 66.6% gahment, freed from rising public transport fees, freed from whatever bad cheesepies you can think of la. This is my virgin trip aboard, without my family's company. No doubt I can take care of myself, gonna be 21 soon liao lor. This time, I'm going to a country I have seen on tv on countless of occasions, all thanks to TVB's dramas. Not only I'm on a trip to a country that is amazing, I also have the company of my best friends. A pity not all the marists can make it. 7's a decent number anyway. We checked in early to jalan around the shops inside, since shopping in there is quite rare. Ended up eating Delifrance, don't ask me why..Haha.
Bert & me @ Delifrance
In valuair, signs of exhilaration noted. Or rather...signs of weiqi-ism lingers...
First time travelling on a budget airline. Overall it was quite ok, just that there are no movies, no music, no food, cramp, ugly stewardess, loud engine noise etc. It was quite alright isn't it? I tried to catch some sleep with my mp3 player blasting at full volume. Still, the engine noise proved to be the louder one. So I decided to play dai dee with my neighbours. Dave is one cheeky player. Never fail to haolian when he got damn good cards. I don't think he reads my blog so it's ok suaning him, hahahaha. The flight was around 3hr+++, we just can't wait to land on Hong Kong. However, we did not realise that something BAD is about to happen...
On the bus to airport. Yes we took the stairs down from the plane, like those footballers returning home from world cup.
My dear brother Mr Lay Shi Wei look so happy on the photo above. Never did he realise that his passport is actually not with him. (It was later found on the same plane, in Bali) First cock-up of the trip. An ultra-gargantua cock-up it was. Hahaha, our moods are definitely dampened, but we were strong and vowed not to bow to cock-ups. Gilbert advised us to retrieve all our luggages while he accompanies Shiwei to report the loss of his passport.
Told ya we are strong people. Stranded, waiting at the belt area.
I made 2 trips to the customs counter hoping to see their faces, but was only greeted by disappointment. After around 1 hr+ of waiting, Gilbert called and told us to proceed to our hotel to check in first, lest they cancel our booking. Thus, after much brilliant and shrewd discussion with Zhida, we decided to purchase the airport express ticket to Tsing Yi. Afterwhich we will switch to a train going to Lai King, and that will take us to Jordan MTR. This is the CHEAPEST route, if you are staying around Jordan area. Something to highlight. All the while, we (3 pple) were carrying a total of 5 luggages. Imagine dragging so many luggages in the middle of Nathan Street. We must have attracted lots of attention. At first Dave and I got a shock when we saw 'Evergreen Hotel water sprinklet'. It was a delapidated looking place and we actually thought it was our hotel. Lucky it was'nt, and finally we found home. Not a classy place, but definitely a nice and decent place to stay in. Most importantly, it's freaking cheap. Each of us only need to fork out around $48 per night. Beat that! Soon, Shiwei called to say that they are on their way here. Meanwhile, we went down to the 7-11 to buy some cup noodles, as hunger is about to devour us anytime. After they finally arrived, we went down to a cafe just beside our hotel, and got our long awaited dinner...first decent meal in Hong Kong. No more cock-ups please?
Roast goose rice, yummylicious
Gilbert, Dave, Zhida. All still good, fighting spirit still there.
Shiwei, apparently on high spirits after being 'released' from the airport. LOL!
After dinner, we went back to the hotel to unpack and bathe. Although I'm damn tired, I could not fall asleep. Only went to dreamland after tossing on the bed till around 4+am.
