Dim Sum Land

Time to blog!! hahahha... Too busy travelling ard this time. As a result, i had no time to blog!! First was Taipei, then Tom Yum Land, ended with Dim Sum Land. hahah... It was really fun travelling n flying ard. Really makes me feel like an air steward. To fly to a few countries within 2 weeks is something i have never done before. I mean in Asia.

I shall blog abt Dim Sum Land since i just got back 2 days ago. I took a flight from budget terminal to Macau before taking a ferry to HK. Quite a new experience to me but it was very tiring. The travelling makes me feel very tired. I was clubbing the previous day, so the next day was like, wow... However, i really enjoyed the trip.

I had a few first time in Dim Sum land. First, it was my first LV wallet. Never in my life had i bought such an expensive wallet. I treat it as a reward for my hardwork in Indonesia. Well, my burberry wallet is gone liao la. So decided to upgrade to a new one. It's a nice LV wallet. I simply love the design and the feel of buying it. Shiok!

Another first time was my encounter with Typhoon! Never experience Typhoon before. It was a new experience to me. Typhoon Koppu passed by HK on 14/9 night. The weatherman asked everyone to stay home. Shops were closed by 7pm. Ferry services terminated too. Streets were quiet with few pple walking. Many shops taped their glass door in case the glasses shattered due to strong winds

Rain started pouring ard midnite. I went out at abt 10pm plus to experience it. Gusty winds!! Trees were swaying and would be uprooted anytime. Signboards were also swaying in the wind. There were lots of leaves all over the floor. Umbrella seems useless at that point. There were drizzle then sudden down pour. I walked across the street to buy Macdonald for supper. hahaha.. Fight against the wind!!!

Then by midnite, it was thunderstorm and heavy winds. TV station carry live report of the Typhoon and i was shocked to see some youngsters at Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour to experience the typhoon!!! Sea waters were choppy and winds were strong! But i pity the reporters. Work at nite and in strong winds!! Not easy...

So much for Dim Sum land. Of course food is another treasure in hk. Had lots of dim sum la. hahha.. Delicious n cheap. One thing abt HK is tat their ingredients are complete. Unlike us in SG, even for prawns hv to cut into half. Aiyoooo, egg also half... They give complete portion. Eat till i feel damn shiok. Then i also had roasted goose. Yummy! However, it was expensive for that meal. hahaha.. Someone intro us to try. Worth it for the price la....

I hope to return to Dim Sum Land next year. hahha.. For more shopping and food again!!!

Tom Yum Land

I am supposed to blog about my Taipei trip. Hahaah... However, i was too tired from last nite assignment. Slept early in anticipation of BKK trip. It was a tiring assignment yesterday when i have to oversee the running of a new project. Not easy as i have never done it before. Thankfully, i had some reference to check upon. Had lots of fun with my part time colleague and also my friend who was roped in for help. It took me almost a day. I still need to do some post production. ggrrr... Will be back next week to finish up.

We went Holland V last nite to chill. Nice ambience at one of the winebar. Had some red wine while i was intro to more friends. The red wine taste was soothing, not the usual dry taste. Din had headache after finishing it. Then we had this XO beehoon. hahha.. This new friend of mine ordered a bottle of Heneken for me to drink. OMG! I would say it is quite relax to drink after work with a couple of friends.

Back to Tom Yum Land, this is the first trip for this year since i last went last April in 2008. That time i went with Melven and his friend. This time its back to Gavin. hahaha.. Well, we can get to meet Ed and his wifey. Nothing much to shop for me since i have reserved all my shopping for Taipei and HK. It will be more of food and clubbing this time. Oh, not to forget, we booked quite a nice hotel. I presume i can relax at the hotel too. Nice indoor and outdoor pool, i think there is also a gym. hahah.. Location is fantastic. Near to four face buddha.

I have 3 mins left before the system shut off automatically. hahha.. I am blogging from Changi Terminal 2 this time. :P Have a great weekend ahead! Cheers pple!

Andy Lau Lied

Hmmm! Wierd! Something is very wrong with Blogspot! I wonder what is wrong with the settings. Nonetheless i am still able to post my entry. Many things to talk about especially after my trip from Taipei this time. I think i will post one at a time. Hahahha.. My amazing race asia started last tuesday. I am back on Monday but was busy with some last min assignment. Grrrr....

The hottest topic in town is Andy Lau's marriage with Choo Lay Keng. OMG! He finally confessed he is married to Malaysian Pegeant Choo! Wow! In the past, there were many rumours that he was married, had kids but he denied everything. Worse still, there was even rumour that he was gay and slept with guys and models. hahhaha.. So the truth is out.

I guess he had no choice but to admit to his marriage. Reporters had evidence of his marriage and he cant hide anymore. Well, i am surprised he is able to date someone for 24 years and get married recently. I understand this is something personal, he can choose not to reveal anything to protect his wife as well as his career.

However, i personally feel that as a man, he should have done more than that. Keeping under table wont do him good. Afterall, it is perfectly fine for a man to married a woman. I dun see anything wrong about that. Yes, he can have many constraints cos he is a public figure and also pressure from the press, but then again, look at many examples around him. Jackie Chan, Alan Tham, Sandra Ng, they are able to handle it professionally. Why not Andy? Even our local artise Fann Wong and Christopher Lee are declaring their status and marriage openly. Where is the problem?

In an exclusive interview with HK cable this year, Andy continued to deny he is not married and will announce to everyone when he is married. Sad to say, he is already married tat time. Honestly, i was disappointed with him, not because he is married but the way he try to cover up and fail to give his wife a status. To make things worse, when his father in law passed away, his wife family have to accede to all his request to protect his identity. No mention of name, body guards, umbrella to shield away from media during the funeral wake etc. Just feel wierd.

One person that i must commend is Andy's wife. She is courageous and truly love her hubby. She is the woman that stood behind Andy all this while. This is what i call TRUE LOVE. Not those dear this dear that or buy me LV if u love me kind of relationship or every single min to call the other party. I ask all woman who read my blog, will you be able to accept a husband like Andy when you are not allow to tell the world he is your husband? Can you do it? I think more than 90% cant do it. Bear in mind, the whole family have to remain low profile and even lie. Who can? If you can, i take my hats off you.

Alrite, so much about Andy. Will bitch about my Taipei trip on my next entry!
