hong kong!!!!
for the first time in my life i bought that many clothes... i spent around $200 (singapore dollars) on clothes!!! -__-
i worked on saturday night, left from zouk at 4am, rushed home to take a shower then headed to the airport with my family... i thought i could sleep on the plane but i was wrong... aboard the plane at 8am, my parents, who were sitting behind me, were so excited that they kept poking me to talk to me... i was so darn irritated that at one point when my dad poked at me to offer me beer, i damn near took the cup and throw all the contents back at him... i was exhausted and trying to sleep... then when my mom poked me through the space between my sister's seat and mine, i totally whacked her hand... earning me an argument with her... after landing in hongkong, checking into our hotel rooms, we went shopping... for 5 hours straight... at the end i was so on the verge of collapsing. my muscles were aching, i desired sleep but went we went back to the hotel at 10pm, my nocturnal instinct kicked in and i was hyper... my sister and i watched tv, played poker and i finally slept at 2am.
those few days were those rare days that i actually slept before 3am and woke up in the morning...
monday, our second day in hongkong, we went macau... it takes an hour plus to take a ferry there and another to go back... the food there was great though^.^ on the way back, mom was seasick... when i saw her stick her medicated oil into her nose i had a bad feeling... so i turned up the volume of linkin park on my mp3 player... true enough, less than 10min later she was puking into her puke bag... the ferry actually provides a puke bag at every seat... i gave my puke bag to my dad, in case my mom needed another one... after she used the second puke bag, dad asked me to accompany my mom to the toilet, which was at the back of the goddamn ferry... reaching the back, the waves turned super violent... my mom went into the toilet(diarrhoea) and took like 15 minutes to come out... so i had to stand while the ferry bobs up and down with the waves, and all the while enduring the aircon blasting on me... i spotted an empty seat and took its puke bag... and as soon as my mom came out she used it-___-" there was another pregnant lady puking at the back, accompanied by her husband and another old woman burying her nose into a puke bag... there were so many people seasick that i felt terrified... i would remain as a floorstaff instead of a bartender if not for the fact that i was terrified of barfing people->.<-
by the time we returned to our seats i was shivering with cold... thankfully, the trip ended quite shortly after and i was spared of anymore display of merlions...
third day, another day of shopping. by the end of the day it was my turn to feel unwell... guess i ate too much during the first two days... thankfully, with my stomach squeezing itself periodically i was still able to shop around till 11+pm
last day, i skipped breakfast as i wasn't hungry... indigestion... just lay around on my bed in the hotel... eating little of the porridge that my family brought back for me, we went shopping for the last time in hongkong... 4 hours later we went to the airport and thus began the journey home...
i finally reached home at 1am in the morning, and if it wasn't for my unwell stomach, i would have gone down to zouk to have a drink as well as find out what time to report on thurs... damn stomach... and i thought it was invincible...
with $200 converting to about HK$970, i bought a wristband, a cap, a pair of pants, 4 T-shirts, 2 shirts, 4 singlets, 3 tubes of gel, a tie and a round of dessert for my family... money was quite well-spent i guess... :)
