Yeah!

Today I received a surprise email from HR. I have been confirmed after 3 months of probation even though the probation period is 6 months! Yeah! My hard work for the past 3 months did not go wasted. Hehe.

Home Sweet Home

I'm finally home........ Touched down on Sat morning at about 1230am as the flight was delayed by about 45mins. By the time I reached Singapore, I was feeling tired than ever. But it feels great to be back home and in the comfort of my own house and room. This weekend is a strictly ONLY REST days for me since I did not managed to get any rest last weekend due to the Engaged Encounter programme and then I was straight off to HK. Damn..... I still feeling tired and the stupid hot and humid weather of Singapore is killing me!

Coming home!!!!

After 4 nights in HK and I barely enjoyed myself, it's finally the day to come home. I think I must be the only freak who did not enjoy myself much in HK. I dislike the cramp-ness of the streets and the expensive cost of living here. Did not manage to shop much as the stuffs here are either available in Sin or expensive.

After a few days of cloudy and rainy weather, it is finally sunny again........... I still prefer Taiwan's weather since HK's weather is no difference from Sin......


Food wise is quite good though, IF you find a good 茶餐厅. I still remembered eating a horrible plate of curry fried hor fun. When I placed my order for this item, my impression was a plate of fried hor fun that is fried with curry. It turns out it was a plate of plain white fried hor fun served with a separate bowl of curry!!!! That was the worst food I even eaten during my stay here. I decided to go back to another 茶餐厅 that I tried when I arrived the 1st day and thank goodness for me, I found 'heaven' again, haha.

Yummy fried 一丁noodles in XO sauce with pork chop!

Cheap heels which I do not know if the quality is good............

Old friends

KW and his wife has been working in HK for close to 2 years and it has been a long time since I last met him (since I was unable to attend his wedding in Jan this year due to my house renovation). Decided to contact him beforehand that I am coming down to HK for 5 days and see if he is free to meet up. Coincidentally, A is also here for work!!! Haha, GREAT!!!

Met up with A, KW and his wife yesterday for a sumptous dinner that KW brought us. We had fried hor fun, roasted pigeon, portugese chicken curry, braised chicken wings and finally a gigantic souffle!!!!! This souffle is huge and it looks like a loaf of bread! Don't believe??? Look at the picture below!
Notice that the souffle is as big as our face (COMBINED)????


The dinner did not just ended with the giant souffle. Next stop is the famous 许留山!!!! I was just complaining to KW that when they previously had the store at International Building, the desserts is just horribly expensive. I still rememebered a mango sago thingy with pomelo and a fruit platter thingy cost us a ridculous price of S$21!!!! And here, we get a reasonable price for HKD20 - HKD35!!!! I opted for the mini platter consisting of mango muah chee, mango puree thingy with mini rice balls and mango ice-cream with shredded jelly. Yummy!

Cheap and nice!

We chatted until almost 11pm before we realised that we have to make our way back to the hotel....... It's just great to meet up with friends when you are overseas. KW said that in future if me and BC has plans to come to HK, let him know and he and his wife can be our tour guides!!!

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Arrived in HK yesterday at about 1pm....... And I after taking the airport express train and shuttle bus to Kowloon Shang-Ri La hotel, it's almost 3pm!!!! Ok, I'm not going into office liao! Haha.

Walked around my hotel area at Tsim Sha Tsui and there are nothing much to see actually but they have alot of night clubs and eateries...... Tried the lunchean meat & fried egg 工仔面 for dinner and it taste ok...... But their 奶茶 is fantastic!!!! Milky with enough tea intensity! Good! *thumbs up*

Bought my breakfast for today and had a walk along Avenue of Stars (looking across at HK Island) and the scenery is really good..........

Looking across at HK Island......

Catholic Engaged Encounter

BC and I went for the Catholic Engaged Encounter (CEE) last weekend and it was really great. Not only does it identify practical issues that we need to take note of now, but they also make the couple iron these issues during the weekend. There were alot of in-depth discussions between couples and I find it extremely useful since I hardly voice out what I really feel to BC and vice versa.

But it was a tough weekend to go through. It's physically tiring (because we have to wake up like 7am everyday and sleep at close to 12 mignight) and mentally tiring (because we are also discussing and talking about some practical issues).

But the fantastic part about this programme is that most couple seems more loving after the end of this programme. Have you been in a room whereby 32 couples are so much in love and you can feel the love in this room???? I have experienced this during this weekend..........

Bang!

At 5am this morning, we woke up to a loud crashing sound of breaking glass. Me and BC quickly woke up and went out of our room to see what is going on. End up, the clock that we bought from Ikea previously dropped to the floor! The stupid 3M hook that claim to be how strong has gave way....... Not only I have to buy a new clock, I have to repaint the edges of my wall due to the scratches made by the clock when it dropped down to the floor...... There goes my 1 night of good sleep.
