Back.

Yes I’m back in Singapore already. Didn’t really update for the past few days because of this devil by the name of laziness.

Saturday was spent seeing relatives and walking around Mong Kok (again). Then went to Lan Kwai Fong in the evening and I was very happy to go there, even though I was alone. The great thing abolut Lan Kwai Fong was of course all the pretty people there, and I had a nice time walking around and observeing people.

Went to Wong Tai Sin temple on Sunday and offered some joss sticks, while also getting my fortunes told. Apparently Wong Tai Sin had it that my dad would probably be OK this year if he doesn’t start thinking about crazy things, mum would probably have to watch her health for small but niggling illness, sis would be successful in her university application. The most important thing probably would be for me – I would be having a great year in general, and it would be better for me to move westwards out of Singapore for my career (Wong Tai Sin said China would be a good option) and as far as getting a girlfriend is concerned, I need to take the initiative if I find someone of my liking. Nice advice – almost a confirmation of whatever that I was thinking about anyway! After Wong Tai Sin I went back to Kwun Tong to try to get some Lao Po Bing, and realised that the Korean actress Song Hye Gyo was going to have an apperance there! So I was standing there, waiting for the actress to appear. It’s like, since everyone’s been telling me how pretty she is I think perhaps it would be nice to try to see her in person. And man, she was indeed very pretty. She had the very classy type of beauty and I think that’s the kind of beauty that would blow people away. I admit I got somewhat blown away by her beauty, but I didn’t exactly think that she was a very warm character per se, because she didn’t seem entirely interested while on stage. Probably the language barrier was a problem, but she still didn’t seem to be as composed and elegant as Lee Young Ae. Oh well, it’s good enough to have seen her anyway, so I don’t think I can complain.

Then went to Lan Kwai Fong again at night to watch Man United vs Wigan in the League Cup final. Would have stayed at home to watch if I had cable TV.

Then Monday was the day to come home! The flight was not very nice again because of the constant turbulence, but at least the flight wasn’t really full, so the stewardesses bothered to put up a smile. Again, I would not choose to fly budget again if I can afford it in the future. It’s not just about the flight, but the entire experience. To start things off, I did not even get to board the plane from a proper boarding gate in Hong Kong! I was made to wait in a general waiting hall, and then when it was time to board the plane, I was ferried to the plane which was quite a distance away from the terminal itself – the first time in 9 years that I actually had to board the plane by climbing the stairs in Hong Kong!

Anyway this trip was nice, just that the last few days were rather cold and I didn’t really have enough warm clothing on me. The good thing was I got out in time because apparently the temperature is going to drop to 10 degrees tomorrow! I probably would have frozen if I were to stay there!

Have been real busy since coming home yesterday, and it seemed like I have a million and one things waiting for me to settle. Oh man.
