lodown of pearl of the orient
what a vacation.the father was very much well behaved in controlling his bad temperament and the mother was gan cheong spider as always. an awesome trip overall where she did shitloads of shopping within the budget, bought most things on the agenda, walked a great deal to work off the food and had lunch at the jazzy Peak Lookout, damn excellent place! it was also one of the few places not reeking of mainlanders.
downside?
...there's a mainlander every corner you turn. you have these uncouth people throwing their money on bally shoes, diamond studded piagets and louis vuitton cases thinking logos would buy them respect. nasty bunch of people.
...10 winks a day. being the light sleeper that she is, she was forced to stay awake with the father's apeshit LOUD snoring and occasional snorts from the mother's bad flu. aww man.
...too much chinese food. the father's agenda was fulfilled when he dragged us to all his favourite restaurants. do not mention double boiled soup to her face now or she'll bloody puke on your toes.
...unpredictable flights. the night flight home was delayed and she only got home bout two in the morning. darn, should've listened to the mother and taken a day off cos she's bloody tired now.
... peabrained taxi organisers at the airport. you know those that direct the cabs to a designated box and holler you to the designated cab? (singapore la, everything is assigned to you) digressed. anyhow, we were almost at the front line when this dude suddenly decided to open up another queue ahead of the current one hence slowing the flow of cabs to our side. how do i best describe this scenario? a damn du lan situation where you've waited your ass off for the past half hour to have people who just arrived grabbing cabs before you? what the fuck? dickheads.
...missed the other half badly.
ah well, at least the time in hongkong was really enjoyable (cept for the sleepless nights). will post the pics soon.UPDATE: pictures are up on the blog plus more on flickr.
why does she feel like she needs another break already?
