THE DARK KNIGHT

I like to watch super hero films but strangely I've never watched Batman's films. I'm not Batman fans and I have no idea of what the story about. A friend watched this film and he told me that it was very good and the night view of Hong Kong was impressive. I was curious to know why it was filmed in Hong Kong and what Batman did at IFC building.

This batman film was good especially the visual effects. The Joker is violent, and psychopathic in all his actions but Heath Ledger really acted so well. I think the Joker was more impressive than the Batman in this film. 2.5 hours is a bit long but it was amazing!

GOODBYE DIRK

After work, we meet Dirk at CWB. He wanted to eat Indian food so we had dinner at Aladin Mess. It was my first time to go there. The food was quite good and cheap. Dirk told us about his working day and what he had for lunch. I knew that!! For sure his colleague would take him to Chinese restaurant!! Here is Hong Kong!! :D He can't avoid!!

After dinner, we went to Wanchai Pier to rest a bit and chitchat there. The weather wasn't good and it was lightening. What a shame I didn't have my DSLR with me. Otherwise I would like to capture the lightening pics.

Dirk liked to tease us and made fun on us especially he kept showing off of his new version of iPhone. It was fun and it reminded me of how we made fun of each other when we were in Munich. Well I'm happy with my iPod Touch and it just made Connie felt bad of her old version of iPhone. Dirk still thinks Hong Kong is part of China and there is no big difference between Hong Kong and China. I thought he knew when he came!! It's so obvious, isn't it?

I think Dirk is very decisive for choosing to work in Singapore. He didn't plan for it but it was just happened. I have no idea how long he took for making the decision but I do think it is not a easy choice. He has to leave everything in Munich and then start a new life in a new country. It wouldn't be easy for me so uptil now I'm still hesitating for quitting my job and join the work and travel scheme in England. I want to go but I have many worries... Life is full of decision and you can never know which one is good for yourself.

Dirk said he would definately come back to Hong Kong for travel since he came here for business and he didn't have much time to travel around. Of course the main reason for him to come here is the clubs, I wonder excepting the clubbings, what things that impressive him in Hong Kong :D

We sent Dirk back to the hotel and said goodbye to him. He will leave Hong Kong on Wed and we are not able to meet him again since he will hang out with his colleagues tomorrow. It's always good to have friends to come over here and we all had good time together!

STANLEY BEACH

I got a hangover today and I woke up at around 2pm. My throat was so dry and my stomach didn't feel so well. Drinking much is really good for health. I wasn't sure how Dirk was so I texted him and waited for his reply. Then I called Connie to see if she was awake. We couldn't go to Macau coz it was already late. Dirk texted me at around 3pm and he said he went home last night coz he couldn't find us.

I met Dirk at 6pm at his hotel and then walked to meet Connie at the minibus stop where we were going to Stanley. When I saw Dirk, he looked awful and he explained why he left us alone and what happened in the club... Lucky him!! He really had great time!! Or may be he was just day dreaming lol I knew why he didn't pick my phone call and replied my messages now lol

We had a walk in Stanley and then rested on the rock next to the sea. The sea breeze was so gentle and it cooled me down. I felt good to just relax and chat there. I didn't realise it could be so relaxing by just sitting on the rock and do nothing. Usually when I go to Stanley, I go for barbecue and I rarely just sit there (gotta get rid of the sunshine).

When it's getting dark, we walked back to the Stanley mainstreet and then had dinner at a Italian restaurant. Dirk doesn't like Chinese food at all especially the chicken feets lol Chinese food scary him, huh? :D



We went back to CWB after dinner and then sent Dirk back to hotel coz we all were so tired and we wanted to catch up some sleep after the clubbing night out.

WELCOME TO HK!

Dirk came to Hong Kong for business trip for few days, I was a bit surprised when he told me he was coming to Hong Kong. I didn't expect he would come in this year tho Michele said that he would come with Dirk to visit us. I don't take this so serious coz I knew they had some travel plans but Hong Kong isn't the first priority.

It's good to see him again and I'm glad that he arranged to come on weekend so we could have time to chill out a bit. Dirk arrived at the airport at around 1pm and I picked him up there. He looked tired and it made me feel strange that he wore long sleeves!! Hong Kong is so hot!! He said he was so fuxking freezing on the flight :D Oh really?

We waited for Connie to come to meet us up and then we took the bus to CWB. Dirk stayed at Park Lane hotel, it is very convenient. After checking in at the hotel, it was nearly 3.30pm and then we went to have Thai food for the late lunch. It was my first time to go to this restaurant, the food was pretty good.

Since Dirk didn't have a clue about Hong Kong and he didn't know where to go. We took the tram to Central first and then took the ferry to TST. We walked along the Victoria Harbour and Star Avenue. Dirk only knows Jackie Chan and Jet Li. I was surprised that he didn't know who Wong Kar Wai is!!

Then we went to Mongkok to shop around, Dirk wanted to buy a new camera and 3G iPhone but finally he didn't buy anything.

We then went to the Peak to see the night view of Hong Kong. We wanted to take the Peak Tram but there were too many people and we didn't want to waste the time to wait so we took taxi instead. The sky wasn't very clear that night but the night view was still good.

We went back to hotel from the Peak coz someone wanted to take the shower and dress up before going to the club!! Me and Connie kept complaining coz we were sweaty too but we couldn't take shower!! Dirk said it wasn't his fault tho!! We shopped around during his shower time and I bought a clothes to exchange :P Feeling better!!

Then we had a very late dinner (around 12 midnite) at Outback. Most of the restaurant were closed and it was the last choice. Dirk had a steak, me and Connie shared a pasta. I can't eat that much in the middle of the night.

Then we went to TST Club PP to meet Connie's friends. It was my first time to go there. Surprisingly there were not many people in the club and people were not really dancing much. They played dice games. And this club was more like disco coz they played disco music only and it was too loud. I got headache for staying there. We stayed there for around an hour and then we changed to another club. We went to Club No.9 and it was nearly 2.30am when we were there.

The atmosphere was much better and I enjoyed the music in Club No.9 more. It was so crowded but it was fun. Dirk ordered a bottle of Vodka + 2 jars of Red Bull, it was a lot for 3 of us to drink!! He really likes drinking a lot!! I think I drank more than 5 glasses and I was quite drunk already. I could still walk and dance tho :D We danced until 5 something and someone left us alone there!! I'm sure he had great time!!

FAIRE DES CRÊPES CHEZ NABIL

Saturday is always nice if I can sleep as much as I can. I had a busy tiring week already but today I had to go back to work as an IT support. I'm not professional and I have no idea why they needed me but I was so reluctant to go back.

Nabil hosted a gathering at his flat, I worked until 7.30pm and then went to his home. All of them were there already coz some of them only work for half day or they had day off. I looked exhausted and I just wanted to rest and relax.

They were making crepes in the kitchen so I had a try. It was my first time to make crepes and it was pretty easy :D Who say I can't cook?

I put some potatos, hams, onions on the crepe and folded it, then Nabil asked me to toss the crepe but it didn't work out well. It looked like a mess tho I'm sure it was still good :D Gotta practise to toss the food!

DOUBLE LESSON

Wanna to burn more fat so I did double kickboxing lesson tonight. It wasn't as tough as I imagined and it was fun tonight. Ruck wore a woman wig and pretended a ladyboy, we couldn't stop laughing :D He really SUCKS LOL

Ruck asked me to do free fight with him (of coz he wouldn't really punch me), usually he hold the pads and asked me to punch and kick. I didn't want to do free fights coz I dunno how to fight!! I guess he was just being lazy and he wanted to make fun on me!! I couldn't hit his face and kick him!! Shit!! Next time I will definately try to kick his ass LOL

HAPPY B-DAY HEI!

It's Hei's B-Day today, we were going to celebrate with him. He had dinner with his friends first. So me, K and K's friends went for a drink at Insomnia first and met him at Club #9. His finger still hadn't recovered yet so he had to be careful. I wondered why he still wanted to go clubbing.

He was too busy with his friends. So Me, K and K's friends played by yourselves. It was very crowded on Sat night and we barely walked into the dance floor. In the middle of the night, the police came to check the licence so all the music stopped and the light was on. Again!! Last time when I hung out with Hei at Sugar, the police went there too. I start to think it's not a good idea to go clubbing with him :D He brings misfortune!!

LEVEL 8

The new term of French class was started tonight. I'm in Level 8 now!! Yay!! I'm really lucky to be at this level. I was planning to study during the term break but again I couldn't manage time. I really need to catch up a bit of my French coz I feel like I'm still a beginner and I can't speak well.

My new teacher is a Chinese!! I can't choose the teacher and I can't change the class coz it's the only class of level 8. I guess he is native in French and his French is easy to understand but I'm a bit disappointed. He is funny tho I still perfer a French teacher. Hopefully I can get improved in this term!

DINNER AT JIN LUO BAO

Christophe wants to try Korean food and finally we had dinner gathering at Jin Luo Bao with Kayin, Sophie and Elena. We didn't wait for Nabil coz he is in Korea already!! Travelling again!! He can eat all kind of nice food in Korea. How come he can go travel every month?

We ordered a lot of food like barbecued beef ribs, mixed stone pork rice, Korean raw beef, Korean pizza, Korean fried pork... and they provided us a lot of side dishes. They were all so delicious!! We ordered a Seafood hotpot noodles in the begining too and luckily the waitress forgot about this order so we could cancel. We were too full and we couldn't eat this anymore. Everytime when we came out for dinner, we ordered to much food :P Our eyes are really bigger than our stomaches :D

KUNG FU PANDA

We didn't plan to watch Kung Fu Panda before but somehow we chose it coz we had not many choices. Surprisingly it was better than I expected!! The storyline was predictable but it was very fun and entertaining! The characters were so cute!! I watched the Cantonese dubbed version, the dialogue was localized so it was very funny.

I heard that for the English dubbed version, Jack Blacks voice was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the film and I think I will watch the English one if I got chance.

NITE BOAT TRIP x SQUID FISHING

What a nice sunny day!! We went for Night boat trip & Squid Fishing in Sai Kung. It has been few years since I fished squids last time.

We first had an early seafood dinner at a Chinese restaurant, then we got on the boat and sailed to somewhere. We played card games, chichatted and drank wine on the boat. When the sky became darker, we started to fish the squid. It was pretty hard and I waited for a long time fish my first squid when people around me got at least one or two!! They said I looked professional but I got nothing LOL

I didn't dare to touch the squid and unhook the squid coz it was scary :P But it was very fun to fish the squid. My right arm was so tired coz I kept moving up and down. Finally I got 2 squids and 1.5 fish. Not too bad! The one who got most was 7 squids only!!

Finally the owner of the boat cooked what we fished. It was fresh and delicious but after eating the squids, I got stomachache :( I think maybe the squids were polluted...

THAI BOXERS

This is the Thai Boxers that I bought in Bangkok!! Orginally it was 1500 bahts but we asked for discount so it was 900 bahts! I liked this boxers since I first saw it!! I thought it was cheap already but when I had my kickboxing lesson tonight, Ruck kept making fun on me!!

He kept looking at my boxers and said something in Thai. Then kept saying it was beautiful but it didn't worth for 900 bahts! Darn!! He said he could get for only 500 bahts!! Ruck made fun on me and told almost all the Thai trainers about this. They came to take a look on my boxers and shake their heads!! Oh I really wanna slap Ruck and kick his ass!! :D Well at least it's cheaper than buying in Hong Kong, right?

DAY 5 BANGKOK / HONG KONG

It's our last day in Bangkok!! What a short vacation!! We took noon flight back to Hong Kong so we didn't have time to do anything in the morning. What we did was only having breakfast at hotel restaurant.

So far it was a nice trip. We ate a lot, shopped a lot and had fun! I enjoyed the massage!! Bangkok is really a city and I didn't feel like I was travelling coz I could often meet Hong Kongers. Thai people were quite nice and friendly, it was good to have friends who could show us around!!

Next time if I go to Thailand again, I prefer going to the islands to enjoy the sun and the beach. I think it would be more fun for just visiting the city!! Or maybe I would join the kickboxing tour? :D
