My room at Wan Chai. HK is having some kinda mega exhibition now so all the hotels on Hong Kong Island are fully booked. I managed to get this, but it's super duper ex. It costs my company SGD800 per night and I stay there until I very stress. Somemore it is not a 6* Ritz Carlton Hotel type. Nothing special about the room. As you can see....it only has 2 more pillows per bed, that's it.....and this oso...

Quite nice view of the Habour. Ok, probably that's why it's expensive. But I must say their service is very good.


The white huge building is the Convention & Exhibition Centre. It's in the shape of turtle, like it's swimming into the sea....it's feng shui again...

And I thought I can have some fresh air there.....but it's more hazy over there, just no smell. The locals said the smoke comes from China factories....tsk tsk tsk

Anyway, I din go there to have fun. I went for work so it was booorrrrrriiiinnnnnggggggggg

HK street early morning. It is not like this on a Sunday afternoon. The crowd on the street is the same as the underground passageway from Wisma to Taka on Sunday.

Eh that's not my xray k, in case you are wondering...


Weilin, I still like our HK trip the best ^_^

---------------------------------------------------

One of the best things about travelling is that I get to watch free movies on the plan. This time, I watched Click (and realise I really like Adam Sandler leh!), The Devil Wears Prada and The Lake House

Click is about this guy who has a remote control which can fast forward his life so he does not need to go through things he dun enjoy like boring dinners, arguments and nagging. But at the same time, he missed out a lot precious moments of his life.

The movie reminded me that me this poor soul did not balance my work and life. It's not just about working long hours. Even when I'm at home, I did not spend time with family. My parents used to bring me out every Sunday when I was young....so I should do the same now right. Spend some quality time, not quantity.

The Devil Wears Prada. I know nothing about branded stuff, so I can't really appreciate it. Just this guy in the show said "You are not trying hard in your work; You are only whinning". Why somehow i felt like he is the ang moh Sadako, climbing out of the inflight screen and scolding me. Think i really 中毒太深

Last, The Lake House. Lame show! Luckily I din spend $$ watching it.

阿君龙虎榜

1. Jason Mraz - Geek In The Pink
2. Nickelback- Animal
3. 周杰伦 - 白色风车

4. 周杰伦 - 退后
5. The Veronicas - Secret (stupid song, but somehow i like it)


Part of Secret lyrics....
You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone

You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay

Oh no...wat kinda song am i listening to.

Acknowledgement: Thanks bro for introducing me to this song...and the what? Avenue Q?

Ladies, happy holiday!
