zaia~ (happy birthday mom :D)

Happy birthday mom XD

i've been so busy with my mom coming back and all that i haven't had time to write about zaia!


i went to macau to watch it awhile back and reallllllllllllllly enjoyed it XD for those who don't know, Zaia is the latest production by Cirque du Soleil, a famous group of performers from Montreal, at the Venetian in Macau. They're the first permanent group of performers at the hotel there, and as I've always wanted to see the show, i was really excited to go XD The official website is here~ From the website:

"ZAIA is the dream of a young girl who journeys into space on a strange, yet familiar voyage of self-discovery. As she travels, she encounters the beauty of humanity and eventually brings it back with her to share with the inhabitants of earth."

I've heard that this is the first time they've used a 3D screen on stage as well. we sat in very front row seats and although we had to look up a lot and the whole stage was harder to see, it was nice up close to see the expressions on each person's face :D i would advise those who want to see it to get seats a bit farther back as it's actually a better view of the whole production!

one note.. i absolutely ADORE the music they used... i want to grab a copy of their soundtrack but unfortunately, due to it being an ongoing NEW production, they dont' have a cd for it yet T____T can't wait till it comes out!

the venetian was very very beautiful too! at first, it felt a bit gaudy @.@ but then i got over that feeling and really was amazed by how large it was @.@

inside the mall (i love the sky XD)



random ceiling inside the ventian :D

at one of the more famous (the second famous one i'd say?) porkchop place! we arrived late so by the time we got there, the most famous porkchop places' porkchop buns were all sold out @.@ this place is also famous for it's 燕窩蛋撻 which was verrry yummy XD


more food and misc. pics can be seen at my flickr page~ :D it kinda sucks tho, cuz it was so hot and i barely took any pics lol.. but lots of yummy food XD

we went to one of our favorite porteguese restaurants on the second day before getting back on the boat to HK... and had those delicious stuffed crab shells again.. mmm T__T i miss them now!!



on a side note.. i didn't do any gambling (not at the tables anyway...) but played some slot machines (it just LOOKS so innocent! lol) and won HK$138! it's not a lot but i don't mind winning in general, even if it's a little :P reminds me of the time me and silly won money on some random trip to the states lol....

current mood: what to do @.@

incoming tropical storm~~

just random short short entry to say HK may be expected a T8-T10 storm tomorrow! the chances are pretty high, although it's still sunny, hot and "normal" outside.... keep our fingers crossed for a free day off..... XD

current path of tropical cyclone nuri:

on a random side note, i'm glad new laptops are coming out so i can upgrade the current one i have XD

sms人~ grats on having time to 'relax' from working XD 終於可以同你食飯啦!!!

updates again XD

i went to see batman awhile back (havent' really wrote about it because so busy =.=)~ all i have to say is, it's so "dark" and quite scary at times ~_~;; and i think heath ledger really played an amazing joker... he make the character into his own, and totally transformed from the "normal" heath that we all know~ i was really scared of him lol...

i'm looking for the music to zaia.. hope i find it =.= will write about it more in detail later :D

not sleeping so well lately :( i hope i get better soon and that things change for the better @.@ i'm going to miss mui a lot when she leaves so that will be a big change.. i want to get back into doing more yoga, guitar and such though.. and hopefully gain back myself.

i need some hugs~ T___T feeling kind of blah lately...

current mood: sigh @.@

thailand pics (and updates XD)

my trip to thailand XD pictures~~ I know some people (ie. Mr. Tuna!! XD) have seen them on my flickr, but for those that haven't, here are a few... please check out my photo album for more :D (if anyone really is interested in X number of pictures of two girls who went on their yearly trip together :P)

arrival at samui XD the airport is really different from 'normal' airports, especially since it's all open, with palm trees, beach umbrellas etc. the customs area didn't even look like one =.=;; (especially in comparison to canadian customs)

the second day, we went on a day tour/trip around samui~ (the usual touristy stuff~) we decided to do a tour so that we could get that out of the way (ie. can say we've done this stuff so we can skip it next time we go lol)~ i snapped a pic of silly again while we were waiting~
i still dont' really know what place this is called, but it was one of the stops on the tour~ it was absolutely beautiful and reminded me of Greece for some reason (although i've yet to go there ~_~..) there was nothing except sky, ocean, and two adventurous girls~ it may not look like it, but it was super super hot an the sun was literally burning =.=
after all the tour stuff, we went elephant trekking~ XD (this is really touristy lol..) it was a LOT of fun, especially since the elephant was really gentle and the area was quiet and breezy~afterwards we went to dinner at this lovely hotel.. it's called "the library", which is also the theme of the hotel. It's soo beautiful! as you can see below, the pool reflects the buildings around it perfectly~ (i wish i could stay there next time i'm at samui XD)
the next day we went snorkeling then to a lovely, lovely island (or should i say group of islands) that was around 2 hrs away~
after climbing up for over 20 mins in searing hot weather (i sweated more than i do in hot yoga lol!), we reached the top to see this breath taking view.
the islands are famous for the stretch of beach in between that's in the shape of a crescent, so literally you're in the middle of the sea, with both sides having view of the ocean~
after that, it was goodbye to samui~ look at these check in counters =.= omg.. it resembles nothing like one~
on the second day after our arrival to bangkok (not many pictures after, since it was mainly shopping lol), we went on another touristy trip: to the royal palace~
it was interesting because to go in, people must be in proper attire (ie. no sandals, females must wear dress that goes over the knees, no shorts or sneakers etc)~
needless to say, it was VERY beautiful inside.... gold, shimmering mosaics and all~
here's the one picture (well one out of two) that someone randomly took for us (a really excited HK uncle-ish type offered his assistance without us asking for it..) ~ so please ignore the weird composition and focus on us instead of the background XD
as i said, please go to my photobook for more pictures XD

yesterday there was a tropical storm in HK, marked category 8, so we didn't have work XD a nice unexpected day off XD however, the winds were still really crazy at night, even after they made it T3, instead of T8 @.@ i've never felt like i would fly away if i opened up my umbrella the wrong way XD

tomorrow night, olympics opening night! can't wait to see the opening done by Zhang Yimou and Zhang Jigang~ a few years back on a trip to guilin with lg718's family, we saw this nightly performance directed by Zhang Yimou and it was absolutely breathtaking. i cant wait XD

also will do a (late night?) kara run on friday~ hope we'll just get better again, as we're doing this to get badges, and not armor anymore as we're mostly properly geared XD
doing 22, 33 now as well as 55 in arena as well :D i wish ara could play lock and do 22 with me! :( for our 33, i'm contemplating on whether or not i should go shadow... but we'll see XD i need gear anyway before i can really test that @.@

current mood: a little lost @.@

ara~ YAY pics! i'm going to stay glued to your blogs O.O i bet they turned out amaaaaaaaaaaaazing :D mail me a small copy of the original sometime XD i want to see!!! miss youu~~

nic~ haha there was blood.. but it was more hilarious than really scary :P u should try! let me know how cold play concert was la~

mr tuna~ thanks for checking out my pics and commenting XD i will post them on facebook later probably but haven't had time yet ~

stephen~ grats on your wedding!!! it's sad you have to go back to toronto permanently but hopefully i'll see you sometime soon in the near future when i go visit toronto :D
