TWO

Time flies TWO fast. December 9, 2009 is our 2nd wedding anniversary. :)

Originally, i have a compesnation leave today, but i had to go back to the office for a new biz meeting. We finally met up at around 5pm and we decided to go to Stanley.

As you may know Ah Lun well, he has a super big appetite, so i recommend going to have German cuisine. What a meaty dinner.

prawn salad is the only veggie i have tonight!

Something New!

We had just completed Ah Yea's mission of having a "something new" birthday celebration! We decided to celebrate her birthday along the harbour so that we could enjoy the East Asian Games 2009 Firework.

After a few rounds of research, it is confirmed that all possible venues in TST are fully booked. Many Chinese restaurants have banquets on that day, while the remaining options are not attractive at all.

Finally, we have booked Discovery Forest at Pier 3 in Central. The food and the setting there was very lousy, but it is really a good place to see the firework. As usual, our gathering (9 girls in total) is very noisy!! We fitted into the "grass-root" environment, and we had a good time there.

Ah Yea decided to treat us with Moon Kee Desserts in IFC, and she was broke after Joyce Ip ordered the costly bird's nest in cocunut milk + mango sweet dumpling! The bill was HKD460 for 10 gals, and it was actually much cheaper if Ah Yea paid for her own dinner and birthday cake. hahahhaha! I enjoy the laugh sooooo much tonight!

P.S. We found out that Anton has some really serious illusions plus she is deaf! wakakkakak!

I captured kailan's blank facial expression successfully! It's indeed
difficult to draw with my middle finger.

Panda Fever!

I am thrilled to get a chance to see some cute pandas in China lately. Our family trip included a visit to the panda camp on the way to Jiu Zhai, how wonderful is it!!! The panda babies there were just so cute and stupid-looking, and i wanted to bring them home.

i was so excited with my first visit to the panda camp, so i brought over my panda hat with me all the way from Hong Kong. I only realized that there were so many panda products in Chengdu, and they were in good quality and extremely cheap!! Finally, Ah Lun got me a pair of panda ear muff. Frankly speaking, they did not make me warm. But having two pandas on my ears just warmed my heart. :)

Reconnect with friends

It's a packed day, and this is a day for good friends. After the 2-week business trip, it's good to be home and reconnect with my friends. One of my old friends, Ah Yan, is coming back to HK for two weeks. We had a drink at the same Habitu Caffe at Elements, the same place where we met 1 or 2 years ago. We could not get the same seats, but we were pretty close! I enjoyed the specially made Earl Grey Tea with Passion Fruit Syrup.

Crab Kee is having a gathering tonight, and Donna is the only person who is absent. what a shame. We had both crab and hotpot for people on the cold side or the hot side. It's sad to know that Anton has to continue with the hotpot / crab / hotpot / crab cycle to get a good balance of cold/hot. I hope your body is coping with this harsh cycle.

We also had a belated birthday celebration for Flora.

Kailan is getting very very naughty!

she has been crying and barking for a long time already.

she has been fed, and she has been hugged, and she has been running freely in the room for a long time. what else does she want?

you cannot imagine how naughty she had become, while keeping an innocent face!

i really like this shot, which is taken by ah lun.

This is too much food for 2!!

Got the free dinner for 2, but we kept ordering extras...luckily, Mr
Tse has a big appetite tonight.

Metro Daily Photo Competition

All of a sudden i found my name in the Metro Daily Photo Contest's finalists page.

The story is.......Joyce Ip asked me to vote for her friend who is another finalists. I only browsed the page after i have vote for him, and i found one familar photo ie my photo uploaded a long time ago.

Frankly speaking, the other photos are very very professional, and my photo is not comparable to theirs, but being shortlisted is the best news of the week and one of the greatest surprises lately.

Remarks - I like China Bank Building and Tai O Photos. Wish them luck!

Samsung Digital Lock

My home furnishing project will start from 1 Nov, ie tomorrow. After my busy work schedule in the month of October, i have to speed up my home project.

I visited Mongkok again to search for the doors today. My requirements are very basic, so I can easily made up my mind. In fact, i prefer to buy cheaper doors because i do not like those complicated and outdated designed doors. My philosophy is always "less is more" so it will look great in the next 20 years.

After i have more or less confirmed the door designs, cat and I looked out for other items. We started shopping for locks. We were attracted by numerous door locks, especially the digital door locks. They were so expensive in the shop, from HKD3XXX - 5XXX. But I have found a chepaer source from ebay tonight, i can say it is almost half price. It's so tempting!!!!!Thank you Cat for accompanying me. Ah Yea said she will come, but obviously she must be in her bed when i called her in the afternoon.
