sis birthday~ a longgg entry XD

i took a day off on thursday to spend it with my sis, as it was her birthday that day :D it was a great start to the weekend (to me, it begins on friday haha) ~ she came over to central to have lunch with me and bro, then we went off to elements where i also managed to get tickets to watch the 3D version of Beowulf. the mall, though big, didn't have much to look at so we left and went back to central to look at the tiffany at IFC and stop to have a afternoon drink. we headed back home afterwards, then went back out to dinner afterwards to a pretty well-known, old-style beijing cuisine restaurant in tst called 鹿鳴春飯店. i had gone there with the eas group awhile back for our 'reunion' back in march or so and really liked the food. the price was reasonable and the portions were huge! their peking duck is imported from beijing so the taste is a lot different from the usual HK peking duck. For those who have a chance to come to HK, must try it there :D Click here for more info~

as usual, we had a silly, fun time but didn't take too many pictures as both my camera and micsis/bro's cam were out of battery D:

the cute bday cake :D
micsis and i~
we couldn't find anyone to help us take a picture so bro was left out D:
kenny and i~ this is the first in a set of two silly pics but... i think i'll leave the other one out for now hahaha
more pics in my photo album~

the next day, i met up with donb after work and ate at that japanese restaurant i realllly like~ again, it's located in tst, and they are famous for their japanese style porkchop and for their sauces etc. (i was there for the veggies :D soo delicious~~) afterwards, we met up with ken around 10 and helped him buy some clothing he'd need to take on his japan trip (so lucky D: going to japan after arriving in HK for less than a week...) and then went to have some drinks/snacks with him. it was soooo nice because we had to a chance to chat with each after such a long while!

the next day i ate lunch at tst (notice the theme? i think i've been to tst nearly every single day this week.. haha i think it stems from my refusal to stay over in the HK side after work and to avoid it on weekends), then went to ysl to pick up this bracelet i had put on hold. the people in this tst store are SO SO nice ~_~ the reason why it took them all morning to call me was because they had the bracelet sent up from central to their tst store so that i could compare theirs and the one from central at the same time! they then proceeded to take out all their newest items (wallets and clutches mainly) and show them to me, although i didn't buy anything else aside from the bracelet~ for those who are interested, they told me their men's stuff will arrive this week :D
we went down to the lv store after, where i finally got my stupid bag sent to be repaired (long story ~_~;;)~ i was glad there wasn't a lineup outside! inside, the store was packed and it took me awhile to get someone to pay attention to me.. the sales weren't too friendly and it took me so long just to get the bag sent to repairs and to buy the agenda refill i needed ~_~; (i really miss the store in sydney! i know i should have asked the name of the sales that helped us there, but damn, what a large difference it was in comparison to HK.. much nicer)
afterwards we went to elements to watch the beowulf movie :D all i can say, without spoiling the movie, is that it was really really fun to watch, especially if you haven't watched a 3D movie before. i've only seen a short one at disneyland many years ago so it was really amazing to see a full length movie in 3D. i think the movie itself would have been a little less interesting if it wasn't in 3D, but i think it was not bad as a whole. i was basically (as per usual) the only one laughing at the lame jokes/actions in the movie... i wonder if it's because the ppl in hk really just read subtitles and the jokes are lost in translation or if they're too busy reading the subtitles to notice that something funny happened?

i got home really late and realized that i had a lunch date with my bro/micsis the next day so i basically had around 6 hours of sleep (not enough when it's the weekend! D:)
on sunday, i had a chance to relax with my family and spend the afternoon shopping a bit with my sis. sunday is always a 'winding down' and 'preparing' (for work D:) day for me so i took the time to stay at home and do things that i never had time to do. (ie. format my laptop; i hope it's not still messed up ~_~;;)

1. this week: must start on christmas cards, christmas present shopping and mailing out stuff! november is already nearly finished :D i am so glad (i think it's my least favorite month of the year.... haha..)

2. must be careful not to get sick (especially you, raven!!) - too many ppl have colds/sore throats/flu/cough at the office D:

3. should i? or should i not? re: taking the exam... i know i want to.. but it's such a large commitment ~_~

current mood: happy birthday sis ~~ (and jon too!!)

ara~ hihi dear, i sent you an email with my snail mail awhile back.. could you send me yours as well? thanks! :D i want to see more pics of you~

j9~ haha... hicksville aww.. come visit me soon! i will be sure (with silly little architect girl hopefully) to take you around and make sure you get a big dose of the HK city life here.. i get tired of it easily so i wish i can trade you for hicksville sometimes :(
mario galaxy is fun! depending on what style of game you want, for silliness get the rayman games (so super silly) and wario ware (for silly laughs again), for group games get mario party (for those days when you have a bunch of people over who want to play a board game without the actual 'board'), and maybe the mario olympics game (personally i think it's a little hard to play tough), for girlie games get cooking mama (for the girlie side of you), and guitar hero (for random music game). I could go on and on about this... hahah
