Greetings from Shanghai

Thanks to the extreme restriction I've over here, I gotta start writing diary, a daily one! And I can re-post it here when I get to access to the Blogger. Hopefully I manage to do that if I'm not too lazy, I hope. But I doubt that in a way, hehehe.  Meanwhile I should also try to bypass the restriction, or get someone to help me to bypass it. I heard from Christine that someone knows how to do it. Yea, I should get him to help me probably. Or if you know, feel free to email me please. Haha :D Oh by the way I'm updating using email. I can do it for every post but... I don't think I want to. I wanna get the posts with pictures and captions instead of just words and craps with whole lots of random photos. I love perfection. Arghh I didn't get the email notification for comment done before I came here. That's stupid, isn't it!! Whatever.. Now I miss Hong Kong, absolutely! It was just plain awesome! Okay, diary time! Buhbyeeee.

 

A sneak peek of the first day in Hong Kong

Me, Liz and Ronald

Thanks Albert for the photos! I received it early in the morning from Liz, so efficient wooops!! :D Ahhhh I woke up for thrice in the midnight, was it the effect of the milk tea from last night's supper? Or I'm simply too excited. Teeheehee. I'm super energetic now.

The journey begins

Wahahahahaha I'm in Hong Kong. It's like... FINALLY!

From this point, the journey begins...

and I meet up with the uni buddies in HK! Ronald and Liz!! Okay I don't have photos with them yet, how come!! I don't know why I'm so excited at the moment but I guess it's normal. LOL. Had a super yummy toast and scramble egg for supper just now at one 茶餐厅 at Jordan, BUT AGAIN no photo! Toast is simply so good, scramble egg is definitely yummy because of the generous amount of butter! 

It is almost 24 hours since I woke up for to get myself prepared for the flight in the morning and I seriously can feel the world is spinning now. 

BUHBYEEEEEE.

Habour Bridge Walk

I think I have taken 5 meals today... so much guilt! A two-hour to and fro Harbour Bridge walk, I hope it makes me feel better, a little bit at least.

The moon and the Opera House

Opera House view from Harbour Bridge. The white dots are stars!!

Circular Quay view from Harbour Bridge

I am still very f u l l . . .

Puffs, again

Banana Crumb Cake

I miss the banana cake so much so much so much. I don't miss the taste but I just miss the aroma in the house when the cake is still in the oven, I t h i n k . . . So I made it again today because there are people in the house to finish it. Heehehehe :)

Time is ticking f a s t . . .

Finally a grasp of fresh air

After weeks of worm's life crunching on books and books, my brain needs some fresh air. 

Had a walk to Royal Botanical Garden which is so near about 30 minutes walk from where I'm staying but I've never been there although I'm here for 9 months already. Such a shame if I don't pay a visit before I leave for good.

The Art Gallery of NSW

Flowers and flowers, they know me but I don't know them.

I am super duper tired, haven't got a good good rest yet. My eyes are closing. BYE. I've many many things in my mind now I gotta sort them out. Time is running out. Time shoots WAY TOO FAST. Goodnight. I love tiredness I can doze off in minutes which gives me no pain on rolling right and left besides 12345-ing sheeps. CIAO!

I'm fully occupied

until next Wednesday.

Can't wait for the clock to strike 12am every night because it's reasonable for me to leave the desk, yet I'm far behind the schedule that's telling me I'm not eligible to. Tell me how to solve this contradiction.

Too many things in my mind, too many things to do, too many things to arrange, too many things to plan, everything seems to attract and interest me but if priority comes first, none of them tops the list.

It is always the case when I'm not supposed to do all those too-many-things.

My ear plugs collection

It's interesting that I actually have a small ear plugs collection :) As small as the collection is made up of three little ones only. Perhaps you think that I'm suffering from severe sound pollution until I'm at this stage of collecting ear plugs. But helloooo I'm still alive without severe sound tortures. Super duper fine.

The orange collection

The first one I got from Grace, she has a lot to fight with her inconsiderate housemate! Lol. I'm very thankful I don't have such problem. (Yes meizhi you don't 对号入座, you must be thinking I need all those orange thingy because you make any noise XD)

The second one I got from Mao, I wonder where he gets that from, he seems to have unlimited supply of that.

The third one SK posted for me, apparently he got it from his office. Hehe.

The ultimate reason to live with ear plugs is because of the location where I'm staying now. Thanks to the merry merry city. Police, ambulance and fire brigade sirens come on and off, few times a day, uncountable times on weekends nights, worst case on Friday and Saturday. While I'm typing, yea I heard the monorail passing by.

I don't know what's wrong with the wind lately, I was actually waken up by the wind 6.45am early in the morning because my door kept shaking. It was sooooo annoying so I went to get the ear plugs and yess.. dozed off again peacefully.

Again, the monorail passes by.

You can hear people screaming nonsense on weekends party nights, the sound of bottles rolling like somebody purposely kicks it, and 3453205809 bottles rolling into the big trash barrels after party somebody is clearing...... 那声音是多么的清脆响亮~

I remember for once I was actually waken up the parades ongoing in the city, it's just right behind where I'm staying. Oh yes it was Anzac Day. All those school bands blablablablabla plus the echo in the city, it was really driving me nuts. By pure listening to the percussion you might think wow they sound so good so solid so cool, they must be really good school bands. Blame the echo.

Hello monorail...

After blabbering and I realise.. omg, is it the sign of getting older? :S

Better not. It's November 2010 already. Goshhhh.

The sign of getting older worsens to the extent that I need to "command plus +" to zoom in the webpage eg. reading Kwong Wah news, some food blogs, and the worst case is I zoom in Facebook page too. :S The thing is, self-comforting goes here by telling myself why was I so dumb that I never thought of the zoom function and I've been suffering with the mini mini fonts for so long, plus I actually bring the laptop much closer to my eyes or lay myself forward closer to the screen.

I need to have an intensive eye check when I'm home, definitely. Or, perhaps laser. Yes!
