Back from HK...enjoyed myself there...kinda wished i could stay there though...

So just to summarise the whole thing...basically on monday we flew off to HK and landed around 1 plus i think...the plane ride was enjoyable...but the landing was bumpy...we arrived and met our tour guide...called BOBO...really funny lady and really nice...so we had lunch first and it was ok i guess...after that we started to visit some famous places in HK..namely ladies market...victoria peak and symphony of lights...was ok and quite basic i guess...nothing much...then we checked into our hotel...now that was cool cuz it had a bathtub and i was soaking myself there...peace :D

So the next day...tuesday...we visited 3 of the university in HK...quite interesting...to learn about how they learn social work...they can even advocate openly...something singapore will never allow...wow...no wonder social work there is so solid. Oh and we had to wear blazers and boy that was terrible..cuz the weather there was crappy and hot..like singapore...so of course i was perspiring like a mad man...so after the visits we went back to the hotel and then we decided to go roaming around HK...so we were exploring the area around our hotel and found a place that sells transformers...obviously i went crazy there...then we took a taxi to harborcity mall...and there i found heaven...in the form of toys r us..haha..the transformers there were awesome..it was like 20% cheaper than singapore...and also there were tons of it there...i was stuck there so long to the point that nicholas and teddy had to lie to me about having to meet jocelyn so that i would make my purchases and leave the place...rawr! so after that we went to search for dinner and we found a place that sold fresh and cheap sashimi...damn lots of money was spent there :P

So the next day we visited st james settlement...which was a social work agency there...we met the in charge called josephine and she was such an inspiring speaker...so after that we went out to ladies market again...this time to go shopping around and we tried the roast goose there...it was awesome...nick and ted always ordered pidgeon...but i ate a bit and was sick cuz i felt so sad for the poor pidgeon :P

Then on thursday...we went to visit the various sectors of caritas..another social work agency..it was interesting and we ended at caritas college...there we met fellow people who were also studying a similar level of social work as us..it was really fun there and i wished we could have stayed longer...haha...but of course after the visit the whole class went crazy cuz that was the last official study visit...which means its fun time!!!...on the bus back we were just talking nonsense and laughing like mad...when the bus went down a slope...we were so crazy and random that all of us went "WHEEEEEE" for no reason at all..haha! :D so when we got back to the hotel me ted and nick went our seperate ways...teddy went out with his parents while nick went out with some of the girls...for we i continued to explore the area around the hotel alone...so fun to be alone in a place i was not familiar in...was exciting..i tried macdonalds there...mcspicy...it sucks...simple as that. :P then i went to get a transformer at one of the malls..when i got out i realized it was raining and i did not bring my umbrella...damn..so crazy old me went ahead and ran in the rain all the way back to the hotel..so i was drenched there and took a nice warm bath :D

so on friday...we went to disneyland...was kinda magical there...was quite boring actually cuz i wasn't a very disney person...but i still enjoyed myself there...there was only one rollercoaster there...the space mountain...my frens and i spammed the coaster 4 times till i had a headache :P...at night we watched the fireworks...what a beauty :,)

then on saturday...it was going home time...but before that we went to the factory outlet mall to do last minute shopping...no transformers there...damn -.-...we head to the hotel and said goodbye to BOBO...then boarded the A380!!!...haha...A380s i think is really overated...it felt the same as the normal sq that we came in...so not much different i guess...but still..it was fun...haha...and both take off and landing was bumpy and rocky...with turbulence during the journey..so damn fun :D

yeap so thats about all i guess...theres more but im lazy to type it all...or i forgot :P...but the thing i realized there is that i felt better about myself..if a werid way...jocelyn's family was there which meant both her kids were there too...daryl and cheryl...i was playing with them throughout the whole journey...haha...cheryl was really shy but slowly she opened up to me...that made me feel good cuz cheryl was really young...and i remmebered loads of people telling me that really young kids naturally know if someone means harm to them or are nice to them...and to me...im sick of people doubting me and thinking im a bad person...but i know cheryl did not see me as that and that made me feel much better :P

oh well...so now back in s'pore...and got into more crap which i did not want...and was out of my control...so i guess its back to life once again...
