MiRC

Yeah .. anybody remember the IRC .. Goodness, I was re-introduced to the IRC by LY recently and boy has it changed. Those people who knew me pre scrapbooking would know how addicted I was to it . It was the cheapest way to keep in contact with family and friends, and was the way to know people from all over. And boy did it bring me friends from ALL over. I had friends from the States to Belgium and even Ghana. Hahah .. and it also brought me many times of sorrow and heart break too, but the fun and enjoyable days were way more. Many of the friends I made in those years are still friends now and I do know of alot of friends who managed to hook up thru the IRC. It was the way to develope relationships in those days. I remember the days with my "papa", "mama" , the huge group of "kor kors", "jie jies", "mei mei" and "di dis" . haha, those were the days playing with bots, channel wars and god knows what else. Seriously fun and innocent. And I have to seriously thank a person who really helped me in those days with my economics and marketing papers. He was a real marketing genius who was a great help in giving me ideas and his help in editing and correcting my homework .. THANKS HEAPS .. u know who you are,

But ask me now would I be addicted to the IRC again. Well, the few hours I went into IRC this weekend tells me that .. NOPE I will not be venturing into this world, for once, it will no longer be the same, the amount of guys looking for a "good time" is seriously screwed. Haha ,.. seriously, do you wives even know what your DH's are up to in the IRC. It was also super funny when LY msged me that a gal msged him telling him that a BJ/HJ cost SGD$200.00 , and it even came with an address, Mobile number and Name... goodness.. What is the world coming to. that is some serious business exchanges out there manz .. can u imagine how much a night would cost. Also, do they realise who they are making out with ? Seriously, do they know the sexual history of these IRC partners ? Gives me the shivers ...

Good Mail Day

Off to HCM City

Hong Kong Trip - Part 3

Guess what, I just realised that I took almost every type of Public Transport available in Hong Kong..I took the :

The Star Ferry - Taking this 1 day after the Typhoon 8 Warning Signal was hoisted was actually pretty scary. But suprisingly, the ride was rather smooth.




Taking the Mini Bus :-


Yuppity yup .. this was my maiden ride on the mini bus, yes those kind you watch in those HK Drama series .. way cool .. :)

Public Bus : - Took this from Central IFC to Stanley Market, quite a scenic route we took .. did not take any photos of the bus thou .. ;( but if you want to have a way fun ride for a couple of bucks, this is the bus to take cause it brings u up and down the steep slopes of Repulse Bay and Aberdeen. And also the curves it takes along the hillside ..and add bad visibility to the mix, you have a ride way better than space mountain ... :)


MTR : - this is my way preferred choice of public transport in HKG, very fast and efficient and the best thing is almost everything is near a MTR station. The trains are also very clean and have this super high tech system to let u know by blinking lights on the stops which the train have passed in the train maps ..




The Disney Train - This is the coolest train ever, with everything disney. Love it. And I found out one little snippet of useless info ( hehe ) , The Disney Train will never arrive at Sunny Bay Station when there are other trains waiting for passengers to board. It will be the only train at the station when the train arrives. cool eh .. :)



Taxi : - Took a short taxi ride from our hotel to Harborcity, a really huge shopping centre with almost 700 shops ... less than 5 mins ride but hey it still counts rite .. but the one funny thing abt HK taxis is that they allow 5 passengers in the taxis .. yes adult passengers .

and all these .. you can pay by using the oh so easy to use octopus card



Travelling ard Hong Kong is relatively easy. Most of the street signs and buses all have their destinations stated in English and Chinese so getting lost is not an easy thing to do . And their MTR system is so easy to use.

Congrats to ANNIE

Annie from the Team gave birth to a darling baby boy early this morning .. coming into this world 3 weeks early ... wooopeeeedooooo .. happy happy for her and wil... Congrats babe ...

Hong Kong Part 2- Stanley

Well as you peeps know, I met up with super duper typhoon pabuk in Hong Kong so we were all confined to being indoors most of the time. But thanks to Ada, I managed to take that almost roller coaster 40 mins bus ride to stanley where I went way overboard in my spending .. I even bought a chinese seal with my chinese name on it .. sounds like a scrapbook page coming along too .. just need to get it back. Here are some pictures of stanley ...





Stanley Street Sign ... :)




Picture of my yummy "lai cha" (milk tea) and Butter'ed Toast .. had it in a very quaint shophouse along the lanes ... yum yum ...

This is the main lane of Stanley where they have really nice cafes and restaurants with a fantastic sea view



This picture is of the back of stanley but to those who is going to stanley by bus this will be the view u get ... plenty of ang mohs .. :) which is great cause then I can find shoes and clothes in my size rather than the puny sizes u get in the malls .. :P

My loot from Stanley stands at :

Chinese Seal with Name
"SHUANG XI" lithographic print
1 pair of patent red shoes
2 t-shirts
5 pcs of linen laundry bags
1 pair of flo jo slippers

and .. thats alll ... :)

Next post will be when I go galivanting ard HK island .. :)

Hong Kong Part 1

*photos overload*

Like my previous post, Hong Kong was a blast ... had great fun meeting friends (A, H and H's wifey) and too much shopping, bu
t it would have been really fun if I gotta go to disneyland. Yes, I did not get to go into disneyland at all. Argh rite ? All because typhoon warning signal 8 was hoisted 20 mins before I arrived at the entrance ... argh .. had to go back to the hotel. And it was raining at whole 4 days I was there and the sky sorta only cleared when I WAS AT THE AIRPORT waiting for my flight to go back .. talk abt a big huge bummer.



Okay enuff of whining .. and on with the photos. I was kinda disappointed with the photos thou. For a scrapbooker, I was kind lax with the photo taking ...so here are the ones that I have that can see the light of day .. :)




Disneyland Resort Station - all aboard for the disney train ... hehehehe. Love love love the train. Esp the seats cause it was really unlike the normal train. Was more like a sofa .. hehehe .. and those statues of Disney characters .. nice .. and was a mickey overload with the famous ears everywhere .. see the windows ..


Disneyland Hollywood Hotel :- Was quite cool, Highly recommended if you wanna do the whole disney experience .. see the first picture ? The clouds were moving very fast and very dark, was pretty scary actually .. :) Love the last picture, was trying out my new lens and taking the shot thru a mirror .. :)


and what was a gal to do stuck in the hotel ??? she goes shopping .. hahaha .. yes the first picture shows the loot I got after spending 1 hour at the Disney shop in the hotel lobby .. hehehe .. quite a lot hor ...


Even the food came in Mickey shaped containers .. pretty cool eh .. :)

I am back!!!!

Yipeeedooo .. Yes I am back from HKG .. The trip was fun fun fun, lots of walking, eating, shopping, drinking and quite a bit of photos... which is great. Thanks to Ada, I did many many things out of the touristsy areas ... And also made my maiden trip to N.T. Only bummer was that we had typhoon warnings every day we were there and it rained everyday ...

Will Blog more when I get home .. with pictures ...
