BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA

Didn't get much sleep last night so I was a bit late to do kickboxing. Just wanna sweat and do some exercises but it tired me up coz I didn't have much energy.

After boxing, we went to Wanchai to have Thai food coz CT strongly recommended it. The food was cheap and quite good. DD and Christine also joined us for the dinner.

Then we went to watch a movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua", AC has a Chihuahua and she suggested to watch this movie. I'm not a big fan of Chihuahua but it was interesting to watch it. The story was simple, predictable and funny. The dogs were cute too!! Quite entertaining!

AC and me sensed something and we discovered a secret tonight. We were a bit surprised but no need to be so serious, right? Just for fun!!

5A GATHERING AT FAT ANGELO

5A Gathering again!! We planned to have BBQ gathering a month ago but finally we changed to dinner gathering coz most of the people are not so interested in BBQ. Why not? Autumn is good for BBQ!! I chose Fat Angelo coz it's a good place for gathering!!

I booked the table at 8.30pm and most of them arrived on time! Except someone!! We couldn't believe how she would be late for 1hour 45mins!! When she arrived we have almost finished all the dishes!! Incredible!!

But anyway it was fun to gather again and we had new member tho he wasn't in our class back to Form 5. After dinner we had a drink and until midnight. We are planning to go to Zanthia's home during CNY!! Zanthia better prepare for the Red Pocket money for us!! :D

MY KOREAN COLLEAGUES

3 of my Korean colleagues are coming to Hong Kong for meetings. Actually I have no idea why they come here. It's not necessary to fly to Hong Kong for a day meeting. Kinda wasting of the flight tickets and time!! And the thing is why dragged me in? I hate the bullshit meetings!!

We dicussed something we had discussed on msn before and we still couldn't find a good way to solve the problems. It wasted my time!! I got a lot of things to do already!!

After work, me and the PM had to took these 3 Korean to have dinner. They insisted to have western cuisine. Darn!! It's like they are coming for travelling!! I wanted to book Outback Steak House but it was fully booked so I booked Dan Ryan instead.

They rushed us to finish the job before 6.15pm so they could have dinner at 7pm. I don't like to be rushed!! And I missed my kickboxing class becoz of them!!

We ordered salad, pasta, risotto, steak and dessert. I liked the risotto and pasta and they were very tasty. Luckily we didn't talk much about work and we just talked about family, hobbies and things about Korea and Hong Kong.

We finished the dinner at around 8.30pm and then I went to SwishClub to meet AC and CT. I've booked the body massage so I had to wait for them finishing the class. My back and my neck are stiff and stressed so I really need to be massaged. The Thai massagist was quite good but I had back pain after being massaged. I think becoz I'm too tired!!

MY BIRTHDAY DINNER AT CASA FINA

Doing kickboxing in the afternoon and had foot reflexology afterward. I don't like to do boxing during weekends but since I've joined the unlimited plan, I have to do as much as I can!!

After foot reflexology, we went to shop around and then I bought some make up stuff. Actually I got a lot stuff at home already but still would like to buy and try new things!! That's girl!! :D

Dinner at Casa Fina, it is the another new restaurant of Casa group. I've tried Mi Casa, Su Casa and this time Casa Fina!! I like the food a lot and it is always enjoyable to have dinner there!! Casa Fina is a bit different with other Casa restaurants, it's rather high-class and they provide different dishes.

We ordered house white wine and oysters as starter, we had Irish Gigas, Scottish Rock and Fine de Special. French oyster is always my favourite!! Fine de Special tasted very good and fresh. The others were very good too!!



Then we had sea urchin cucumber and caviar salad, they were perfect match!! Very delicious!! The sea urchin was very sweet!!

I like the Prawn linguinie too!! The cream sauce tasted so good and you would definately want to finish it all!!

Final we tried the lamp chops, actually I don't really like eating lamb coz I think lamb chop has strong taste that I don't really like. But I heard that Casa Fina cooked lamb very well so I'd like to have a try. It tastes quiet good but I still prefer eating steak :P

I wanted to have a piece of cake but I was too full and I had to rush to meet other friend so I didn't eat any dessert. I don't really need a cake for birthday, I enjoyed this dinner a lot and that's enough!!

Then meeting Karolina at Central and we to went to Peel Fresco Music lounge to listen the live jazz music. But we were late and it was full so we went to LKF to have some drinks instead. I knew there would be a great Jazz band show but what a shame we missed it!!

MY BIRTHDAY

Time flies! It's my birthday again!! I wasn't looking forward to my birthday at all. The more I've grown up, the more I prefer a quiet birthday. Just don't wanna remind myself how old I am. I wanna stay young!!

I've been thinking to buy something for myself but I haven't had time to shop around. And I don't really have any special birthday wishes. I have a lot of wishes normally :D Well just hope that I can do what I want and get I want to get. At least no need to worry about anything and no more hestitation!!

SASHIMI + HOTPOT + SHANGHAI CRAB + PY'S BELATED B-DAY PARTY

Season for eating Shanghai Crab again!! I'd like to eat Shanghai Crab so I suggested to have party at FC's home. Since she is living alone now and we haven't been to her new flat yet so it would be great to have a fun party at her home. We have planned this for a long time and I have been looking forward to this day.

Thank you very much for FC!! She ordered the most expensive crabs and she billed her company!! :D We ordered some food in advance and the shop delivered to FC home's directly.

We ate the cold food first. The Hokkaido Scallops were very big and fresh!! I can't remember how many I ate!! And the salmon sashimi was delicous too!!



Then we ate the crabs!! FC is recovering from the surgery so she couldn't eat crab. What a shame!! It was very delicious!! We assumed each person eating 2 crabs but we ate one finally coz we were nearly half full after eating the sashimi and crabs.

The coming was hotpot. We had a lot of meat, dumpling and meat balls. Someone said she could eat 1lbs of beef by herself but of course finally she couldn't!! We left quite a lot of food!!

Finally we had dessert as well!! We bought a cake and a gift for PY! It was a surprised belated birthday party for her. She was a bit surprised!! It was crazy that we ate that much!! We ate from 7pm to 12am!! :P

PY got us some souvenirs from Okinawa. Bottles with sand and seashell. What make it special? Becoz the shape of the sand from Okinawa is star shape!! So amazing!!

HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR

After long day hiking yesterday, I feel like my legs are not mine today!! Serious muscles aching!! Ouch!! I knew that!! So I booked the foot reflexology already!! I didn't enough at all coz it was very painful when the massagist massaged my lower legs.

Then we watched High School Musical 3: Senior Year. I'm not high school girl anymore so I think it was a cute family movie. The musical and the plot were ok. This movie isn't too bad but not very good. Not as good as I expected but worth to watch on DVDs.


After movie we shopped around and I didn't expect to buy anything. But then I just saw a watch that I like and it was on sale!! I considered for a while and then I decided to buy it. Though I have few watches already, it is my birthday soon! It's not too bad to buy something for myself, right?

We then had dinner at The Mon. I have been thinking to try this restaurant but I didn't get chance. It is usually full. My Japanese colleague recommended it too so I guessed it wouldn't too bad.

We ordered some sushi, stone pot rice, skewers and cold noodles, they were so delicious!! No wonder why my Japanese colleague likes this restaurant. The food was really good!! We enjoyed a lot!! :)

HIKING AT HIGH JUNK PEAK

Hiking at High Junk Peak today!! Its height is 344m and it is the 2nd high peak in Hong Kong!! I didn't know the route before hiking and I thought it wasn't a difficult route but unexpectedly it was as rough as the Sharp Peak!



We scaled the heights and we shared the food there!! It was very windy and we had to protect our stuff just in case the wind would blow them away!!

The view from High Junk Peak was good!! I think it would be better if it was sunny day!! I didn't bring my DSLR camera coz the weather forecast said it would be rain! Thanks god it was only cloudy!!

A very deep slope that we had to climb up and down! A bit scary but it was fun!! We hiked for nearly 8 hours!!

I was exhausted and I got aching muscles after hiking!! We then went to Kowloon City to enjoy cheap Thai food. Quite delicious!! Maybe becoz we were so hungry and the food was even better!! :D

K's DIPLOMA AWARD CEREMONY

It was K's Diploma Award Ceremony of ABRSM. I'm so proud of my sister that she can achieve it. She is so enthusiastic about the music and I'm sure she will have good achievement in music.

Mom said I could do that but I knew I could never have time to practise music. I tried it last year and I started to play piano again but I only had little time and I couldn't do everything I want. Hopefully one day I can start playing music again.

Today I was being K's photographer and I realised I should get a better zoom lens!! Just like when K was at the stage, I couldn't zoom closer!! A 18-200mm would be perfect for me!! Time to save money again!!

We were extremely hungry so after the ceremony, we had a nice dinner. We went to Sushi Toku. I heard that it was quite a high standard suishi restaurant and it would be worth to try. It was expensive tho the sushi was fresh and very delicious.

The sea eel Tanpura was very delicious!! Not many Japanese restaurants have this dishes but they made it very well!! The sea eel was very cripsy outside but soft inside!! Yummy!!

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY + MOVIE + SIU HIN & IRIS'S WEDDING

AC recommended me a Thai leg massage place so I went there to have foot reflexology. AC supposed to go there with me and she helped me to book a Thai lady massagist but we both were late so finally I went there alone. She was still on the bus while I was being massaged.

But they arranged me a Hong Kong male massagist becoz of my lateness. It's kinda strange to be massaged by a man but I got no choice. It hurted me when he was squeezing and pushing parts of the feet. My legs muscles are quite tight becoz of doing kickboxing much. I think I better to have foot reflexology more in order to inprove my general health.

After massage, I met AC at the JP cinema and then we watched "Tropic Thunder". I like Ben Stiller a lot!! He is one of my favourite comedian! The opening scene was fabulous and I laughed through out this movie!! The plot was somewhat weak at times but overall, a great movie!

After movie we rushed to attend Siu Hin & Iris's Wedding. It was bit late when we arrived there. Siu Hin and Sai Yan rushed us to go to the stage to take pics when they saw us. I met some old TI friends from the basketball team. I recognised their faces but I couldn't remember their name :P

Sai Yan was the M.C. and also groomsman as well but he kept coming to our table to eat when we all drank a toast to the bride and groom. It was funny that Siu Hin and groomsman didn't want to drink at all!! They wanted to eat first!! The kept putting the food into the mouth whenever they passed through our table!! Obviously there were hungry!! :D


Siu Hin and the groomsman challenged us on drinking and we opened many bottle of red wine and drink them at once!! I can't remember how many I drank :P It was a very funny wedding banquet and it was good to see old friends and have fun!! :) Congrats Siu Hin & Iris!!
