I've been droooling over and over and over the little tower swing...

病從口入

好痛苦啊!
這次的大病實在足夠讓我體會死去活來的感受。講起來,自己也真有本事把自己搞到一身痛。

算起來,整整一個星期了!
回顧一下。。

周一
在公司突感腸子在肚子裏像是打了結,紐的使勁的腸子讓我一度不能挺身而立。緊張的同事還兩度送我去醫院,擔心我可能患上盲腸炎。在醫院打轉的這一趟讓我突然發現,醫院是一個很,很,很恐怖的地方。我很不喜歡。幸好,經醫生檢查后,沒什麽大礙,說我可能食物中毒,爲了幫我止痛,他還在我的屁屁打了一支針。

週二
還以爲只是小事,吃過些葯,回家倒睡24小時應該還可以恢復些元氣吧。誰知一覺醒來,身子比昨夜還累,肚子一樣疼,四肢乏力,眼神漂浮。吃了白白的麵包,然後吞下白白的藥丸,然後又倒床再睡。這一睡又過一天了。

週三
睡得太多,頭很疼。精神難集中,可是在家還能活動,媽媽煮了爐豬腳,稍有胃口的我不自覺的扒了一大半,剛吃飽就有種想反胃的感覺,媽媽趕快喂葯,吃過葯的我又趟下床去了。這一天下很大雨,刮很大風。就這樣,我不斷打噴嚏,鼻涕流到天亮。

週四
整晚沒睡好,頭額很疼,鼻涕像泉流般洶湧,爸爸再次送我看醫生。發燒39度,喉嚨發炎,除了準時吃葯,多喝水及睡覺,醫生沒有額外說什麽。又再次很乖的照著指示辦。

週五
早上還不錯,燒退了點,傷風還是老樣子。在冷氣房裏趕拍照讓我的身子喘不過來,呼吸困難,而且四肢發抖。幸好撐到最後,可是倒在床的時候,胃已漲風了。又再次痛不慾生。一睡又一天了。

周六及周日
整體狀態有好轉。不再靠藥物了,但身體已開始起了反抗,吞下肚子的藥丸還未到胃也被嘔出來。開始吃的比較正常,但是吃飽肚子比較容易漲,不好消化。

可想而知,身材本來已經像兩支筷子的我,現在已像一副活生生的Walking Skeleton.如果你最近看見我,不要被嚇倒。

因爲,我也不想的。




*奉勸大家,照顧身子*

HK Last Day

This post is all about yummy food in HK.
Hey people,get ready with your tummy!



Early morning, our Miss Val was already busy promoting the shop. She was always seemed more excited for this part rather than the eating part haha.. and most of the HK people saw us taking picture here and there, they often gave us a very 'one-kind' look possibly thinking 'these people never come out to town before ar'?

BTW,
who cares what you think? and you should be the one saying thank you for us to help promote your country:)



Yau Char Kuai, Meatball porrige, and Dumpling
油炸鬼,肉丸粥,糯米饭




Zhu Zhap Zhuk
猪杂粥

Hk people often eat this for breakfast.



Blaunch is a pretty lady who arranged our itineries for the whole trip.She's the PA of Professor Chris.



This place was also not very far from the hotel we were staying..






After breakfast, Prof Chris insisted that we should pay a visit to his office,and so he brought us here at his 'trophy mountain' office. *Impressive!





The long long escalator reminds me of the European's one...




One thing that we were very proud of this trip was we did not worry about our transportation. We had a dedicated chauffeur driver everywhere we went in HK. I guess we were too pampered, so Blaunch suggested we should try taking the underground to atleast feel the real bit of HK living.




Shooping time!!!



Miss Val found something! Let's see!



*chimes*
MAny Many different types of satay snacks! Got sausage, sotong,crabstick,meatball,etc....




Che Zai Mien 车子面


This was my most favorite food out of all i've had in HK!! The soup may look very muddy and dirty, but this is what the noodle famous for. You get to pick your preferred side dishes, but my lil suggestion to you,please pick the braised beef belly!


Why i would say we were being served like a VIP during this trip was because whatever we felt like eating, they would bring us to eat !



姜汁撞奶
Its not Tau Foo Fa! It's Ginger steamed Egg!
MUST-TRY!!This is slurrrpppppeeee.....!even smoother than Tau Foo Fa.. !



Original Steamed Egg 炖蛋




Steamed Egg with RedBean 红豆炖奶



Pork Fillet Burger 猪扒包

i've always wanted to eat this.Since i've missed the one in Macau, so they ordered this for me. I looove pork chop!



Roast Pigeon 烧乳鸽

This is one of signature dish in HK. It comes in plain fried or braised sauce. The crunchy skin simply drives you crazy! Sinful Sinful dish!



Souffle 疏富利

Special dessert served hot. It was done by us within 5 minute!I craved for another one but i din get the chance:(



What more??
They even brought us to have the finest chinese cuisine!



Lobster platter 龙虾拼盘





Shark Fin Soup鱼翅高汤




Mini Abalone 迷你小鲍鱼




Goose Flapper 鹅掌





Special Fish Head 特别鱼头



Coconut Steamed Milk 椰汁炖奶



Freshly-baked egg tart 新鲜蛋挞



Flower Petal Jelly 桂花糕



When we just arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, the receptionist was "scanning" us from head to toe and she was very reluctant to welcome us. While waiting for Prof.Chris to lead us into the restaurant,we all looked pretty funny standing there and felt as if this was a place only meant for the rich&famous. The receptionist,however, could not stand anymore but pointing at me, i was thrilled and when she was about to open her mouth, the manager just stepped out and stopped her.

The manager smiled gently and led us to the restaurant. Then only i realised, in certain restaurants in HK, we need to dress up properly or else we'll not be entertained. *swt



Like this one i am saying..




Night View at The Peak
Finally this was the last spot we visited before we left on the next morning.
Beautiful Hk, goodnite:)

Ah-HEm!!
This Part is specially for you Mellie Bee!! I know you won't 'Fong Guo' me if i didn't show you my shooping loooooots!

Here you go!!



(1) Staccato
My top favorite pair of heels grabbed during the sale! It was HK777 after 60% discount, and it is made of genuine leather, so i think it was quite a good bargain.



(2) Shelly's
I love pumps! Got it for HKD199-best buy item.



(3) Millie
Another best buy item at HKD199. Buying shoes in HK is rather expensive and think
about it. RM90+ for a pair of sandals is not actually cheap compare to local. But then, in HK the figure 199 probably is just like 19.90 in KL.



My new items in the closet.
Ta-Da!I bought them mostly from the small boutiques where we found by the streets. The clothes selling in the boutiques are not cheap,and if you wish to bargain with the owner, just forget it. They will not entertain you:)



Betseyville
Don't ask me why i bought this hahaha..i know you'd say it's kinda lala, i know you, don't laff..Well it caught my eye first i saw. The colors are Q!and don't try to look at it like a kiddy bag its not actually, the size is big enough to keep my daily thrashy stuffs:) Anyway it has the 'minimalist' elemet in it what Lol*



The Protector
I have a habit of collecting ziraffe goodie, be it a soft toy or keychain. So far i have managed to bring home at least one ziraffe goodie from each place i have travelled. And this one i got it from Temple Street in HK.

HK Day 3

After 2 night of luxury stay in Macau, it's time to 'swim across' HK!!
Transportation is good and convenient for visitors to do visiting in Hk from Macau, because the ferries depart every 30minutes. No advance booking is needed because the ticket is easily purchased at the counter.

However, keep in mind when selecting a return time that while you can board an earlier boat as a standby passenger for no charge, if you miss your time there is a penalty. Thus, we left with the earlier boat to save more time for the shopping heaven.




Wooo hooo we were on the Super Class with TurboJet
Normal Seat was about half of the price of Super class...

We often watch HK citizen working in Macau in the drama travel through and flow from these two places by ferry. If they were to travel like that everyday, how much does the ferry ticket cost them alone?




This is what you get if you purchase the super class seat..



Clear scenery is a hard-to-come-by view in HK. The air is often polluted.




Our room in HK.

Of course,if to compare the suite we had in Macau, it'll be like earth and hell difference. But in HK, room with such size is considered more than average already. Atleast we did not need to worry our legs would be knocked by the bed once we openend the door.Lol We have been told often like this before coming here.




First welcome dish in HK by the HK guests.
Fried Fish Skin, sorrie i do not know the proper name :S



No actual picture of the food was taken, so please refer the menu to have some ideas:)

We arrived at HK by 4:30pm. It was too early to have dinner so Blaunch (Prof Chris' PA) brought us to eat something light. We had quite a few bowls of Wanton Mee, Beef noodles, with many many different types of 'balls". Meatballs, i mean! hehe i find dining in HK street stalls is a fun experience. However, due to limited space in the shop, we might not experience the fun with big bunch of people. Therefore, i did not get the chance to snap the food one by one...very chaotic!




This restaurant is only 5-minute walking distance from the City Garden Hotel, North Point





We regained energy and started strolling along the streets!

Crowd is everywhere and anytime in HK. The streets barely get deserted, i was once told by the HK people. Perhaps our Beauty queen was way too outstanding with her big red floral dress, it caught the attention of the people whenever she swung by..Wooo hoo that sings the word-pretty woman, walking down the street!





We at Victoria Harbour
One of the must-go places in HK. The night view by the harbour was impressive.Especially by overlooking at the lights from the tiny spots of building was inspiring. 10-minute walk along the bay was enough, let's go for dinner!




Mmm...Korean Buffet BBQ





One of the favorite spots for Korean BBQ Buffet in HK.
The food in general was not surprising, but the variety of food we could find here was satisfying. The served several types of fresh beef, pork, lamb,chicken slices, as well as the marinated ones with many other dishes like KimChi and veggies. The ingredients were superbly fresh.




Professor Chris was one of the judges for MMU.
A very cheeky man that wanted to pose like us.



I simply like to take snapshots of the street..Its hard to see street in HK can be this quiet.






LAN KWAI FONG

A little upsetting that i've set the wrong mode of the camera. I often forget that i should not put the mode on Slow Synd if it was to be taken by others. The shots just won't work with shaky hands:(



Anyway it was a pretty fun roadtrip for the first day.. mmm nono we havent done the shopping yet! Stay Tune:)

* Coming Next: Shopping, Eating, Shopping, Shopping and Shopping..*
