we're now on our way to lamma island liao. the bus is going to other hotels to pick up more pple, 30 of us in all. and the tour guid told us tt since they're 30 of us, we'll be taking a speed boat instead of a ferry. whoh~ :) should be quite exciting!

had a very good night's sleep yesterday. quite tired now actually, couldn't wake up in the morning. :)

hmmm, we've realised tt the standard if living in hk is really quite high. an average meal at a coffeeshop is about S$4.50, a meal at a food court is about $7-8, and even their erp equivalent is about $5.00. and although singapore had much nicer and cleaner streets, the cost of living is relatively lower. hmmm.

editor's note: the cheapest fare on the mrt is about 80c. a bit more exp too. and also, the lunch is a RIPOFF. we were supposedly going for this scrumptous seafood lunch. well, it wasn't nice nor cheap. we paid 150HKD each. ripoff... didn't even get sharksfin or abalone. and the seafood there is supposed to be cheaper than singapore's or even those on hk island. fyi, 150HKD is about 35SGD.

we're at the wishing tree now at taipo, going to the peak later. right now, we're waiting for yiqing to get her orange up the tree. and there are a gazillion things crawling over me.............

aiyoh. terrible.

met 3 pple just now when we went lamma island - clarence, weiliang and shawn. shawn's a saf-mta scholar and is studying at westpoint. guess he's back for the holidays. pilot, so earning a LOT of % even now... weiliang's a saf scholar too, studying at nus, engineering. clarence's studying chem engineering at nus, but apparently he doesn't know emily. guess the faculty's just too big.

hmmm, threw 1 orange, 2nd try i got it up. :) well, we paid 1 HKD for each orange. wrote my 'wishes' on the paper attached to the orange for family peace. haha.

well, at least we're done with the wishing tree now, cause i didn't really like it alot.

oh yes, lunch was ok i guess. though i think it was a ripoff. 150HKD for a seafood lunch. the lunch was much in want i might add. food wasn't fantastic. ok, eached taipoh station liao, getting off to go take train to central to get to the peak.

editor's note: peak was magnificent. very beautiful, and really quite indescribable unless u see the pictures urself. very very touristy too i might add. we had dinner at marche. and really, something really interesting happened regarding the 3 stooges. haha, i think it's really embaressing at the least. i didn't finish the blogging for the day cause i was really very tired when i got back to the hotel room, just showered and slept...
