First Few Days in HongKong
Ok..been here for 3 days liao....can say I am trying to get use to the new environment. First day after I arrived, my aunt and sis picked me up from the airport. Sis complained to me that just had a 7 hours meeting. Well my aunt is a workaholic...so no choice!2nd day went out with my sister and 2 colleagues with a Japanese client. He is very funny and has lived in England all the time. His name in Kei and he hates Japan...he looks like some rocker....anyway we had tim sum lunch then went to the central and shopped awhile then went up to the peak. There are so many people waiting to take the tram up to the peak and so we opted to take a taxi instead..the view up there is really very beautiful and so many couples are there to be lovey dovey...making me so envious and at the same time missed D.C so very much! Well managed to get some nice photos...will upload them once i figure out a way how to...haha...then after the peak, went to Lan Kuai Fong. The whole street was happening and packed with people, then i realised it was Halloween and hongkongers actually love to celebrate such festival...it was real fun and suddenly i missed all my friends and whynot...SHUCKS!!Yesterday was a holiday for HongKong. It was Chong Yang Jie...samething like our ching ming festival where people go and pray to their ancestors...went out lunch and shopping with Aunt and sis...bought some jeans and pants and also a pair of black boots....really nice lor..hahahaha!! went to the market to get some stuffs for steamboat at night...the seafood is really fresh and alive...not like those back home...either dead or frozen...although it is not so cheap but still the taste is very fresh and sweet....my aunt's dog a yorkshie also wanted to eat anything that drops on the floor. She is a very hyper-active gal and guess what I call her? "Teddy the Terrible!" cause she pee and poo everywhere and also bite anything she can lay her mouth on.Now in the office...first day at work here...everyone seems to treat me with coldness cause they knew I am my aunt's niece. Sigh....I also can understand.....and the stupid IT fellow,everything also dun want to do properly for me..in the end i had to set up my laptop myself and get it up and running...people in HongKong all like that, they are all very slack....sigh...anyway it's only my 1st day....still got many more to come man!!
