once again...

...I bid farewell to the city I love the most in the world. It's a very sad day. As I stock up on the silliest things to bring with me (one example, Indo instand noodles...) I will do my best to choose to remember the good times I enjoyed and the great things I've gotten, plus all the coolest friends in the world whose life will continue without me here as I continue mine without them. Best of all, my sister who's here to make sure the next time I visit I'll have the best time as well.

So now is the time to go back to reality, to the politics at work, to the insufferable city, to work hard again on what I want to do in life, and most important of all at the moment, to settle all the tornado of bills i managed to create while I was here :)

Life goes on, now I'm going to be strong for all my love ones in this hideously difficult times we're all facing.

For all of those who kept me company this past week, who partied with me like there's no tomorrow, big thank yous and big bear hugs! I love you guys man! I'm sorry I don't get to see all of you but I promise I'll be back!!! Ciao you all...till next time :)

more in love with sydney than ever...

just like the saying, a short seperation makes you love it more... in my case, it's more true than ever. only 3 days here and i'm already feeling sad that i'll have to say goodbye again in a few more days...

everything here is perfect, perfect, perfect. even the imperfections are perfect. i feel like i don't ever wanna leave this place and i can't imagine how i can live anywhere else. but life goes one, and the reality is that however much i hate hong kong, i'm gonna be calling it home for a few years. make me sick to my stomach.

went to K with ricky & co on saturday and i swear i havent had that much fun since... well the last time i had k with them! it was the perfect k night that ended with us sitting by the kerb side next to hyde park and talking shits.

i did wake up the next day at 3 pm which is a little late sydney standard to enjoy anything but i managed to get to balmoral beach for some much needed sun and beach and the yummy fish and chips. it was the perfect sydney day for beach and everyone was there having fun. beautiful people everywhere... and if i say that anymore i swear i'll start sound like a pervert...

all in all it was a perfect sunday afternoon. went to bondi after that to meet up with bobby, sandra, david, amy and divini to farewell carol and ah fai coz they're going back to hk for good... sounds a bit silly but a good chance to catch up with old friends. man oh man... i was never much of a bondi person but it was a good trip nonetheless, considering i got free parking as well :) had dinner at this place called hurricanes grill and had the perfect steak!!!

the real collateral damage is the credit card bill i'm gonna get when i go back hehe :p already i have bought 3 pairs of shoes, one from gary castles my fave shoe place, 2 from witchery and also by now untolled number of skirts... argh...

will be getting my nails and hair done tomorrow and then go get my green p licence... fingers crossed...

oh and there's more...

the S, the SS, the new falcon, the one tonner, pickups, 4 wheel drives...

the fact that every single male here looks good to me... even those whom i used to think are total losers whenever i see them in clubs... i've just simply been away for too long with all the skinny, small, short, crouching men in hk... it's just depressing... it's been too long since i see men with muscles and bones and i'm hitting the beach today!!! yahoo!!!

home sweet home...

as the clouds are gathering for what looks like to be a potentially rainy day, there is still nothing that can dampen my mood.

drove my sister to work this morning coz i wanted the car for the rest of the day and bought myself a cup of large skim cap. how simple and wonderful even such a tiny little thing is. no more grande or tall (stupid american terms), bye bye to foams that are as thick as bricks!

there's a new RSL club down christie street call cabana and it's one hot hip trendy hang out! went there last night and afterwards went to harry's to get pie and dog. it was just like heaven. the mash, the gravy, the meat, the chilli, the dog, the peas (which i normally hate), it's just perfecto!

the pefect beautiful clear blue sky, the angle white clouds, the burning scotching sun, the thongs, the sunnies with no attitude, pacific hwy, cricket on tv. it's all too fine.

my valentines...

it was st valentine's day today and i worked the night. surprisingly it was a very good night despite my working outdoor when it was raining and my socks and feet are soaked and the dye is now on my feet. everything went very well (probably coz all i had to do was stand outside and my partner was doing the running in and out). everyone was in a good mood today even the neurotic bitch. well she's been in a good and talkative mood for a few days already.

so all in all although there was no speical someone this year (much like many other years even when there were the "someones") it was a very good valentine's for me.

bought mom a bunch of flowers today that cost me $550HKD... considering what she has done for me and what she's going through, to put a smile on her face is priceless... although initially it did made her cry... i think that was just emotions :P

very busy few days before i leave for sydney. i cannot wait to be there and i'm already lining up things to do, people to meet, and food to eat while i'm there. it'll be a tight 10 days. i can't wait.

watch out sydney! here i come!!!

from being so happy...

...to being very sad.

went to 5H today, cleaned up the place, sat there and ate bits of my salad, drank a beer, read NW, did crossword and feel very alone.

of coz that started much earlier, i donno if i'm really crumbling but at least it feels that way, my appetite shrunk (not entirely a bad thing), i had emotional ourburst at work, and i keep picking races while i drive that i think i just scared some poor little woman who was driving a toyota corolla tonight (reminds me once again never to buy that sissy, powerless, cars from that maker with the too-soft-suspension...).

well i shouldn't really complain since i get to speed and drive like crazy to blow some steam off...

and my sister's prefect, perfect x'mas gift helps a lot...SATC ROCKS!!!

i'm so happy...

that in less than a week i'll be back in sydney! it's been too long and this time i'll get to catch up with friends who will be moving overseas and god knows when i'll see them again. next time i wanna meet up with all my friends i'll have to get a round the world ticket!

a lot has happpen since i wrote here. so much so i again found myself not knowing where to start or wether it's even relevant for me to write them here given that i've never addressed the issue nor hint anything here. for those in the know, well you know what's happening, for those who's not, you've probably figured something out between me and my sis's blog. for the others i'll update you later.

it's been an intriguing few months for me. mostly unhappy and stressful but given that someone else i love is in even more stressful and unhappy position, i'll just take a bow and not make noise.

i am glad though that my darling sister was here for to weeks. someone else to take the heat for a while and i truly appreciated it! i know how tough it must have been for her and i love her for having a good head on her shoulder and many other things, too.

most ppl can deal with what's in their plate but when the contents of the plate keeps changing every hour sometimes it's hard to catch up and adapt. i just hope things will be better. for now, i'll just do what i need to to protect what i have.
