I LOVE LIVERPOOL!!

Got a Liverpool towel from a friend!! Thank you :) I like it so much!! I'm always Liverpool fan :D I know I can't turn a West Ham fan to Liverpool fan but at least we are not aganist each other :D Don't tell me you wear your West Ham T-shirt to buy this towel ;) I don't want to see you being booed in Anfield :D

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Haven't watched film in the cinema for a while. Wanna have a laugh and relax myself so went to watch Ben Stiller's new comedy. I had high expectation coz Ben's films are usually funny. But this one disappoined me!! Sometimes funny but the jokes were stupid and the storyline was weak and not so intersting. Anyway I had some laugh at least.

Having dinner with Hang, Fiona, Alice and PY at Spaghetti house, they celebrated me and Hang's birthday coz we both were born at the end of November. The reason I chose Spaghetti is I wanted to have Fondue!! Finally I tried it :D It was so delicious!! I liked it!! We ordered a lot of food that we couldn't finish all!! We were soooo full!!

The birthday cake was so cute and yummy!! Tho we were full, we still had to make a wish and then had birthday cake!!

Gotta a Agnes b pouch from Hang and Fiona! Thank you buddies! :) I had such great and fun time!! Yay :D

KEVIN & MANDY'S WEDDING

Congrats Kevin & Mandy!! It's their big day!! I was one of the bridesmaids and it was really fun!! I am so happy for them and wish them have a happy new life :)

We all the bridesmaids went to Mandy's home in the early morning. We had to prepare something for the groom and his men. We had a lot of games to test the groom's love!! :D Otherwise we were not going to open the door!!

1) Ask Kevin some questions about Mandy but he cannot answer by himself. He has to keep slience but he can do gesture to cue the best men. If the best men can't answer, they have to eat our special breakfast!! (spread the bread with mixed sauces: wasabi, spicy sauce, condensed milk, peanut better, shrimp paste, fermented beancurd... Yuck!!)

2) Put lotus seed, Lily seed, Mahjong into a basin with ice, water and detergent, then ask one of the best men to pick the lotus seed, lily seed and mahjong with his toes (I believe the freezing water can refresh their mind :P)

3) 8 best men + 1 groom divide into 3 groups and then ask 99 people to sign a name for congratulating their wedding (Kinda silly but it's fun! I followed them downstairs to make sure they don't cheat!!)

4) Wearing woman's bras, underwears (of course brand new) and big wigs and then run upstairs from 18/F to 26/F, then say, "My sweet wife, I'm coming to pick you up now!" (ooops... they are embarrassed, aren't they?)


5) One best man lay down, hold a biscute with his mouth and then the groom doing push up on top and eat the biscuits while doing push up (Don't kiss!! :D)

After playing those games, I feel so lucky that I'm a woman!! Of course they all passed the test and finished the mission!! We all bridesmaids had a lot of fun!! :D LOL I couldn't stop laughing!!

Kevin and Mandy did some traditional stuff at home, poured the tea to their parents and the elders. After that we went to their new home and had pizza for lunch.

Then we all went to Hong Kong park to take some pics. The weather was so fine and we took a lot of beautiful pics! Mandy looked so pretty, I like her wedding dress and headdress! I only bought my compact camera coz my bag was so heavy!! It would be better if I had my LC-A.


Their wedding banquet was held at a Chinese restaurant at CWB, it was an impressive and a lovely wedding. Many old friends attended the wedding!! It was great to see them! Key gave us his wedding invitation card, we are going to his wedding next month!! So many people get married in this year!!

FAREWELL TO MANAGER

Today is manager's last day, kinda sad coz I have been working with her for nearly 2 years. She isn't an organised manager but she is a a nice person. I learned quite a lot from her. We don't have new manager right now so from now on, I have to decide and work on things by myself. It's a challenge for me. Hoepfully I will have a promotion soon :D

Afternoon, I slacked for a while and went to Festival Walk with Kiyoe to buy a gift for manager. We walked around and then went into Folli Follie. We chose a bracelet for her, but then Kiyoe and I thought the design of the bracelets were nice and we both bought a bracelet for ourselves :P It's expensive but I like it very much :D Better control myself a bit coz recently I spent a lot of money already...



Manager treated us afternoon tea and we gave her the gift and flowers, I totally did nothing for my work!! Only morning half day work :D

Then after work we went to Island Shangrila hotel and treated manager a dinner buffet at Cafe Too. The food was good but I think they should have more choices. The sashimi was fresh and I like the dessert most!! The cakes were delicious!! But the oysters were too small and not fresh enough. Can't compare with what I ate at Oysterman last night. But overall the food was quite good. We all had good time :)

GREAT BIRTHDAY DINNER

Having my birthday Dinner at Culture Club Gallery. It's a small restaurant + Gallery in Central. This restaurant mainly serves Italain food but they don't have many choices. They have 3 sets in menu so we 3 people just chose those 3 sets and shared the food.

We ordered a white wine first, drank a bit and relaxed. Then we had duck chest salad, black truffle parma ham sandwich with scrambled eggs and mushroom spaghetti. The food was great!!

Then we had German Cheese Cake, Blue Berry Cheese Cake and Ice-cream for dessert. I like the Blue Berry Cheese Cake most. The others were okay.

"inside the restaurant"

The restaurant is quite special, they are also a gallery and they also have some cultural activities inside. When we were having dinner, there was Belly Dance class and some women danced and had fun together.

After dinner, we suddenly wanted to eat oysters so we just walked to Oysterman and ordered some Oysters :D We had Irish, Pearl Blanc, Fine de Clair and Tasmania. The oysters were so frensh and delicious!! It was a great night and I had very good time and nice dinner!!

ENGLAND LOST!!!

England failed to qualify for Euro 2008!!! I can't believe!! :( McClaren sucks!! He's CRAP!! What a shame that there are too many injured players and Owen can't help to win over the game :( There is no meaning to watch Euro Champion without England. Sigh...

MY BIRTHDAY xxx I LOVE AGNÈS B!

Happy Birthday to myself :D Growing older again!! Time runs so fast! But I believe I am still young :D

When I was small, I used to think birthday is a big day but now I feel like it's nothing special. Just don't like to count how old I am :P It's just a normal day for me, still have to work and take French lesson. Afterwards having dinner at a Japanese Restaurant and then walked around. Then we went to Ned Kelly's to have a drink and enjoyed some live Jazz music. I haven't been to Ned Kelly's for a while and it's kinda relaxing whenever I go there.

Got a Agnès B ring and necklace for birthday :) So GREAT!! Thank you so much :) I love them a lot!! I'm soooo HAPPY :)

INT'L MUAY THAI I-1 SUPER FIGHTS

Watching the International Muay Thai I-1 Super Fights tonight. It is the 1st time that I watched Thai boxing in live. I'm not so into watching Thai boxing, I think it's more fun to play than watching.

One of my trainer represented our boxing club to fight and he won. I don't know any rules of kickboxing so I had no idea how my trainer K.O. the other player :P It's so different for fighting the game and doing for keeping fit!! His punches and kicks are so fast and strong!! Not like how he played with us during the lesson!! I think I would definately die if he punched me hardly!! :D

SHOPPING & CLUBBLING

Went shopping again today. Wanna buy something for myself and do early X'mas shopping. We finished our mission and bought what we needed in half day!! :D Then I bought someone for myself again :P I bought a nice scarf, a hair clip and a ring. I wanted to buy a mobile but it was out of stock!! How come? It makes me want it even more!! Can't wait for it!!

Then we had dinner at a new opened Japanese resturant in TST. They have 20% off promotion! The food was great! I like the sashimi cold udon most!! Would like to go there again soon!!

After dinner, we walked around and then had a drink at Knutsford. Chit chatted until 11.30pm, my friend went home and I went to LKF to meet my cousin and his friend. My cousin asked me to go clubbing many times but I was too busy. This time I can't turn him down again :P We waited for K and her friend but they were late!! We just stood there and waited for them for 45mins!! Hei complained that he hated to wait even if she was a hot pretty girl but K isn't hot LOL So mean :D He said he would never ask K out again LOL

We went to SUGAR, had drink and dance together. Hei usually brags how he attracts girls in the club but I couldn't see this!! Obviously he and his friend didn't fit in it LOL They didn't dance or drink much!! :D Seems they didn't feel comfortable in the club.

At around 2am, we were dancing and suddenly the music was stopped and the light was turned on coz the police came to check the club to see if there were underage teens or druggies. It ruined our mood but it was good to see people's faces clearly :D What surprised me is I saw 2 familiar faces!! My friends were also in the club!! Darn!! I didn't want to meet them there!! I knew they often hang out in LKF but I didn't know they went to SUGAR much. Kinda sucks to imagine how they chat girls up and dance with the girls LOL

Hei and his friend left at around 3am and then me, K and her friend went to another club to join another friend. We went to VOLAR to dance for a while and then went home. K likes SUGAR more but I like VOLAR more coz I like to see the pretty things :D

CASUAL DINNER

My schedule is kinda tight and finally I managed to have dinner with my old friend. Wanna meet her since I came back from Germany but I have been too busy. We had a casual dinner at MK and we chatted and updated each other's news. She complained that her life is too routine and boring but I complained that my life is too busy :P Life is hard LOL

Walked around after dinner, I didn't plan to buy anything but then we walked into a shoes shop. It was on sale, then I bought a pair of high heels :P Actually I wanted to buy boots for winter but dunno why finally I bought something that I didn't mean to buy :P

SHOPPING

Kinda stress recently and I wanna do something to decompress myself. So I went for shopping after French lesson. Feel like haven't gone for shopping for a long time so I bought 2 jackts and 1 shirt for myself. PY bought more than me coz she had to buy some clothes for Kevin's and Mandy's wedding. What a shame she didn't buy a dress!! Everybody is expecting to see her "girlish look" than her "boyish look" :D It always feel good to buy something nice for myself. Hopefully it will be a bit colder soon so I can wear my new jackets :D

BBQ @ LAMMA

Barbecued with friends at Lamma Island today. I sometimes go to Lamma but this is the first time that I barbecued there. The BBQ place is just next to the sea and the view is excellent!! It's worth to walk far away to there.

The weather was so fine for barbecue. It was a bit cold when the sun set but not too cold! I like it!!


Chris gave me some souvenirs from India, a pair of Indian style earrings and gift tags :D Merci beaucoup :) Je les aime beaucoup!

BASKETBALL TEAM GATHERING

Ar Dee and Ka Cheong came back from Hong Kong for weekend from Macau, so Ar Dee asked me to ask other friends to come out. He is now working in Venetian Hotel. Seems it's a trend to work in Macau now! There are many good offers but I think if I worked there, I would die of boring :D

We had hotpot dinner at TST, we ordered a lot of food and we were so full!! After dinner, we took ferry to Wanchai and then walked to CWB coz we needed to exercise a bit after a big dinner :P Then we met Alice, Siu Hin and Sai Yan at a bar and we had a drink there. It was fun to seem them all again!! It seems ages since the last basketball team gathering!!

We made fun of each other and we talked about Facebook. But SOMEONE among us doesn't know what it is and he even doesn't know how to use :D He is the only one who is left behind!!

BIERFERT + LKF

We have Bierfest in Hong Kong for every October and this year I really want to go coz I want to see if it's like the one in Munich. It isn't as big as I expected. There are only one small tent which can't compare with anyone in Munich!!

The atmosphere was quite good, some German wore the traditional clothes and they sang and danced inside the tent. It reminded me how Kristine taught us to sing the song in the tent when we were in Munich!! The beer mug is small, only 500ml!! Well I get used to 1 liter LOL :D I think the beer didn't taste as good as the one in Munich :P Me and Connie had some Nürnberger sausages with mashed potatos and sauerkraut. The sausages were tasty but the sauerkraut was a bit salty.

Then we went to LKF to meet some friends. We had some drinks and chitchatted at Bulldogs first and then we went to another bar "Insomnia". There was live band show and the atmosphere was great. Becoz it was Friday, the dance floor was so crowded.

We stayed there nearly 5am and then we went home. I was a little bit tipsy and when I went into the bus, I fell asleep right away and when I was awake, the bus was in Sun Po Kwong!! At least 6 stations foward!! I had to took the taxi home :P I don't think I drank a lot, only 500ml beer, 3 cocktails and 1 coroda. Maybe becoz I mixed the beer :P

I realise something tonight and I can't believe someone can trick and act like this!! It's kinda stupid and cheap!! I know sometimes you have to do some tricks to win something but it's not like that. Me and Connie learned a lesson :D

TATSU

Boss treated us a nice dinner at Tatsu coz we met the sales target for last month. We know boss like Chinese food but everytime when he comes to Hong Kong, we have Chinese cuisine so this time we chose what we like :) Boss thinks it's strange that the staffs in Tokyo wants to eat Chinese food but staffs in Hong Kong wants to eat Japanese food :D

The dinner is around $700 per head and then the chef will choose the seasonal fishes to make sashimi and sushi for us. Also we had salad, tempura and beef. The sashimi and sushi were so fresh and delicious!! I liked the sea urchin a lot!!

Seems boss has a lot of planning in his mind and he wants to expand his company faster. There will be 3 more staffs to join in this year!! 1 designer, 1 system enginer and 1 Japanese staff. My company is more like a big company but not a small firm now :D

OFFICE RELOCATION

Suddenly relocating the office today!! We knew we were going to relocate in this week but didn't know which date. It's so rush to imform us to pack and move our stuff an hour before!! Though we just move room unit 2 to unit 5 on the same floor, we had to pack and stop our work!!

Boss thinks the documents of purchasing team are top secret, so we had to move to another room and seperate with other colleagues. I don't want to move but we have no choice.

We used to have L Desk but now we have to use a smaller desk!! Darn!! I have so many stuff, where should I put?

JANICE & PATRICK'S WEDDING

Attending Janice's Wedding in the afternoon. It was my first time to attend a wedding ceremony + banquet in the afternoon!! Her wedding was rather like western style, it wasn't like Chinese banquet at night, we had buffet lunch at hotel. Interesting!!

Janice looked so beautiful and her wedding dresses were pretty!! Almost all the CDN colleagues attend her wedding, someone drank a lot of beer and got drunk!! He acted unusual, spoke something silly and loudly!! It was kinda embarrassing coz our table was the noisiest!! He complained about the work and he even said he had thought to resign!! OMG!! Hopefully he was just joking!!

After wedding, we had some drinks at Wildfire, just wanna chat and relax. I wanted to order cocktail but the drunk colleague forced me to drink beer!! It was my first beer since I came back from Germany :D Not a big glass so I can handle well :P I'm more into wine / cocktail than beer!!

LA FLEUR

Celebrated someone's birthday at La Fleur tonight. We have never been to this French restaurant, we just took a look at Openrice, read the comment and picked it. The dinner was suprisingly great!!

We mainly wanted to eat oysters so we ordered some Pearl Blanc first. They were so big and fresh!! Yummy!! I love oysteres soooo much!! The Pearl Blanc were better and cheaper than those I ate at Island Seafood & Oyster Bar before. Maybe becoz it wasn't oyster season yet last time.




The Escargots with Mashed Potato was delicious, the portion was small tho :P It tasted good!! It's perfect match for escargots and potato!!

The fired foie gras was delicious!! Not too greasy and it feels like melting in my mouth!! Eating a bite foie gras and then drinking some white wine afterwards, it's absolutely great!!

The duck's chest was ok coz the sauce wasn't good enough. It didn't match with the duck's chest much. A bit disappointing and I think it would be better with another sauce!!

We couldn't resisit the tasty creamy oysters so we ordered again :P Kinda strange to order oysters after having the main course :D But it doesn't matter!! We just ate what we liked!! The Cheery stone was ok, I'm not so into clam, oyster is better!!

The Crême brûlêe was good!! It is a kinda dessert with rich custard base topped with hard caramel. It tasted rich but not too sweet!! I liked it!! I will definately go there again for the oysters!! :D

HAK KA HUT

Dinner with Chris and Tania at Hak Ka Hut coz they wanted to eat Chinese food. Seems they like Chinese food a lot!! It has been a while since I met Tania. Finally I can arrange time to meet them both. But what a shame that my French is still like that!! When I saw Chris, all I could say was "Bonjour!" "ça va?" "Je suis fatiguée". It's kinda frustrating!! Can't I say something more or complicated? I think I really need to spend some more time on studying French!!
