high tea @ the peninsula~

its already friday today! the week passed by really fast and i'm super glad that today is really sunny with no sign of rain at all (:X maybe i should keep quiet for now haha...)~

to recap last weekend, on friday they hoisted the level 8 typhoon signal! the storm supposedly left us on wednesday but had circled backwards to HK mid-way and ended up hitting HK straight on~ it was a really awesome day... longgg lunch till around 2:10 when they announced that they will hoist the T8 signal around or before 3:30 ~ then we left around 2:45 as it was hoisted early. i left with my colleagues which was a good thing because the mtr stations were already crowded. they shut down the gates for central station after we were lining up to get on the trains because there were just too many people @.@ it was terrible! i watched the news after and people were crowded in the station, with some fainting etc. and the trains not moving at all D:.. this is what it looked like (i believe this is admiralty?) at central too @.@ but much more packed and barriers around the entrance to the station and all @.@

anyway i managed to catch a shuttle bus after i got after the mtr so it was perfect :D however, like everyone else said, this typhoon was definitely NOT a bad one... when i got home, not only was there no RAIN, there was no WIND @.@ after watching the news, it turned out the typhoon weakened as it hit HK and then dwindled away @.@;; so all that 'hype' but nothing to it! except half a day off work (yay!)!

as noted in the post below, i got my hair permed on saturday @ HAIR ... it isn't much change as they only permed from the ear down (i'm afraid of perming starting at the top! haha my last perm was a bad experience)... it looks nice and i like it (not many ppl notice the difference, which is good :D) but i kind of wish it was a lot longer type of curl @.@ why can i never get a perm the exact way i want D:
afterwards i went furniture shopping with mom and sis on saturday but didn't find anything we liked.. at night we met up with lg718 and his family for dinner at outback! always love spending time with them :D

on sunday i went out to meet silly at causeway bay because it was her turn for a perm! as usual she looked beautiful after it and we met up with timmy and carmen at the peninsula for high tea.. it was verrrry lovely there and i really enjoyed chatting with them and just enjoying the moment. i'm so glad they're in hk and suggested this outing :D the little cakes and desserts were really dainty and tasted really delicious~





after i went to mk with silly to meet up with lg718 to buy random camera stuff and lens! i got a pair of zoom lens 18-135mm for my cam (my wallet has died from the $$ impact~ D:) and also a webcam so i can see my lovely silly in ottawa and also W from toronto :D we ate dinner a chiu chow restaurant where we made the following interesting observation about the following cups :P (can you spot the odd one out? :P)

then the rest of the week has been lessons, rest, lessons, dinner, dinner lesson etc. rinse and repeat. i am not looking forward to next week :( last mandarin lesson with silly, last weekend with lg718's family before they leave, last week with silly etc. it seems like with them leaving, the summer is leaving as well! the summery feeling is slowly dwindling away~

current mood: sigh :(
