happy birthday sis~

happy birthday to my darling sis :D we had a lovely lunch buffet in tst, then a really delicious hot pot (beef soup :D) at mong kok!

some of the pics from tonight:

realllly delicious hotpot @.@
my lovely sister~ (please ignore the messy table.. hahah)
the pretty cake :D
and... us trying to mimic "someone's" expression... HAHAHAi think we were quite good at pretending to be her lol~ more pictures can be found in my photo album :D

on a side note, i highly recommend this hot pot place, as the beef soup was great and the food was very clean and tasty! the price is quite cheap too (only about HK$160 each person, and we ate a LOT)~

and lastly, my latest addition to the miffy family:

yes it's quite huge (my largest miffy to date, out of my 20+ miffys), and i was looking for this size in this colour for FOREVER till my dear friend found it for me :D
i really hope the curse that affects all my yellow miffys stays with those yellow miffys.. D:

25 nov: i'm actually recovering from sickness as i type this (same old neck pain.. refer to previous entry on 28 October for more info @.@) but i'm a LOT better after two days' rest and some better meds. the worst thing was the neck pain made me throw up continuously for the past two days ~_~ so until that stopped, i coudn't eat a thing D: i'm just so so thankful that i'm ok now and the dizziness is gone!

another work week! :D

current mood: sick.. (but recovering! :D)

the story of cotton candy~

i had a VERY lazy weekend xD on friday, after dinner and some random shopping at langham place with fishy dear, we went back home to laze around and watch anime/project runway (yay i liked Leanne's collection and she won :D)/random tv and chat (similar to what i did on saturday)

to go off topic a bit, i'm actually watching a bunch of anime, after finishing Macross Frontier, and one of them is called "Ga Rei Zero" which is kinda mind boggling @.@ it's drawn beautifully but i've yet to get a grasp on whether there are no main characters because they all die or what @.@;; anyone else watching this and can kinda discuss with me? =.=

on sunday, we went shopping again and also went in search of fresh 炒栗子 which i'm STILL having difficulty in finding T_T it's my favorite snack in the wintertime in hk~~~ sometime in between our lovely dinner with 阿哥, fishy went and bought me some cotton candy XD i was squealing when i saw some kids walking around with some so, since i couldn't get my dear chestnuts, i got it instead XD

i took some pictures as i don't get to eat cotton candy (and such a large .. erm.. one? piece?) usually xD i'm smiling in this picture but i'm actually impatient and want to start eating @.@
it looks quite huge @.@ like a giant dustball or something...
the sequence basically went like this: take a piece, look at it (i realize i kept grabbing large pieces XD), laugh becuase it was so silly to be so excited like the other kids around me, then suddenly not caring and eating away XD
yummy :D~~

but i still want my chestnuts! according to my lovely april, there's a cart near the 火車站 in MK so hopefully i can go there to buy chestnuts this weekend @.@ i saw a cart in central today (near the 街市) but i was going back to work so there's no way i can bring the smokey/smelly chestnuts back =.= (not to mention there's no way to eat and type...)

about some other things, i received a postcard on monday from vivienne westwood that invited all vip card holders to a preview of their exhibit on 30 Nov @.@ i was a little excited as it should be something similar to the chanel mobile art exhibit except this time we got advanced tickets XD more info about the vivienne westwood exhibition can be found here

the exhibit is organised by Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and will showcase a bunch of vivienne westwood clothing and accessories from the museum's collection. as well, there'll be merchandise on sale for this exhibit. it should be interesting so i can't wait~~ it'll be open to the public (for free) from 1 December 2008 to 31 January 2009. go check it out if you're in HK at that time and like vivienne westwood :D

it's getting chillier in HK lately~~ everyone remember to wear your scarves/jackets, especially since it's flu season @.@
current mood: want to stay warm~~~

raven~ glad you got my card XD i hope you're feeling better and not sick anymore :D stay healthy!

mr tuna~ hope you have a great time at your new job and that we can chat more~ :D

muiz~ have you received anything in the mail lately @.@

it's november~~ and that means...

...clothing change time~ (yeah right, the weather stays the same in HK but people here are wearing boots and scarves...me being one of them XD) it's updates time~

H&M is going to launch their next crossover collection with comme des garçons on November 13!
see the collection here~

i want the polka dot scarf and cardigan! (my two favorite items to buy recently haha...)

I know i can't fight for the clothing though =.= the thought of lining up along with the millions of other HK people on a thursday is not possible =.=;
so, i admit defeat and will look longingly at the pictures to soothe myself T_T

i had a problem with the 'silent' button on my iphone last week so i brought it to get fixed during lunch (yup, rushed to mk and back and ate lunch within an hour!). they called me back an hour later to tell me they 'fixed' it: by giving me a new one @.@ yes, it meant i had to re-wrap my phone again (sigh... for the third time..) but i got a new "jacket" for it this time as well :D

modeled by miffy :D

yup, that's my phone XD everyone who's seen it tells me they want to either:

1. bite it
2. smell it (?!)
3. touch/feel it (cuz it literally looks like i'm talking on a pack of chocolate)

fishy claims my phone made him have a sudden craving for chocolate @.@
loving this phone jacket ::heart::

i've also (finally!) replaced my mouse "wrist" thing (ie. the thing i use to rest my wrist on when using a mouse), as my colleagues were complaining that the old wrist-rest thing (it was a cat..) was developing yellow-eye disease after prolonged use =.= (i had a male colleague tell me that it was disgusting and that even he wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole when he came over to fix my comp... which made me start thinking "hmm... maybe i should change it")

before (placed in a plastic bag to prevent spreading of disease):

after: (aww isn't it cuteeee~~ let's see how long he lasts)
i took these on my phone just now so sorry for the really bad quality xD

current mood: (i'm working! it's a monday! give me some time to 'warm up'~~~ xD)
