The look of LURRRRRRRRRVE

Beware: May cause nausea and if severe... diabetes...

AH HA moment

I have finally signed up for the gym. Went for 2 sessions...one on monday (that's the one where my legs wouldnt work after that) and if there was a fire...I would gladly sit at my desk and pray for the best instead of walking down 10 storeys...and the other session was yesterday called body pump...it's all about weights....GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD....it's so bad....the instructor was like ohhhhhhh..you will burn about 600 calories in the class...oh good.....tell me now..after my 3000 calorie muffin, which i had for breakfast..but as Thomas said....600 calories is more than what I would burn in a whole week before going to the gym....it's so bad...the workout...my hands were weak...couldnt lift my arms...and that's when I had my AH HA moment...people lose weight going to the gym because they cannot lift their arms high enough to feed themselves....that must be it..nothing to do with cardio...nothing to do with rising the metabolic rate...altho I must admit I would be one of those who would gladly put my face on the plate to slurp food....sigh...

Hong Kong Food!!!!!!!!

Hee...had to write some stuff about our Hong Kong trip..but I think the real fun part of the HK trip for me was the FOOD.....i lurve the food there....shopping...Singapore much cheaper...yup..even brand names...having said that...I did do quite abit of shopping at H&M, Uni-Glo and Thomas got some really nice stuff at Zara.... I did also go to Victoria Peak...but it was pretty foggy up there....back to the food...heee....because we were busy with tourist attractions, we didnt get to eat what we wanted until the last day...so u can imgaine the frantic rush to eat all the food we wanted to...hee...this was how the last day went....

Morning - Complimentary Buffet Breakfast (couldnt let it go to waste right...even though we had been having it for the last 3 days)

11-ish - Yum Cha @ Celestial Court @Sheraton Hotel...PWAH...very very good..the "carrot" cake with homemade XO sauce...the BIG dumpling(Goon Tong Gao) was fantastic...YUM YUM YUM....best Yum Cha I have had actually..the things were very "fine"...if u know what i mean...

1-ish - Dessert @ Sweet Dynasty....the thingy in the tub is sweet beancurd...and the other one in the claypot is yang yuan....YUM..very very good....actually recommended by the guys at the hotel where we stayed..and by a couple of friends as well...of course when we heard about how nice the porridge was...we had to get a bowl to try...hee heee...next time..will try the other food there..apparently the char siew there really good also...


3-ish - IFC(international Finance Center)...actually found this place(LGB Cafe) by accident...the macroons there soooo pretty..so had to try it...3 bucks a piece...but so worth it le...bitter choc ganache...yummmmmmmmmm.....and then @ ground floor..they have this like "gourmet" supermarket thing called Citysuper...there is a bakery just outside...sells the softest bread ever..and up front there is like this takeaway thing selling roast and sushi and sandwiches...yummmm..the grilled miso cod...yum yum

4-ish - Yung Kee....heard people ravvvvvvving about this place...but we were so full after all tat food....we tot...u know wat...we are only going for what it's famous for...the century egg and roast goose...never had century egg which tasted like tat...it was just beautiful...no strong smell ...just gorgeous...wanted to buy some back(to Sing of course since we cant bring eggs back to Aust)..but forgot...argh..the goose also alright...but it's the century eggs which i lurve...


6-ish - Chee Kee...the wanton mee at this place was awarded one michelin star...heee..wanton mee...one michelin star...only in HK...it was really quite good...and doesnt have one michelin star price to it as well....we also had the crab porridge and century egg porridge....heee..not bad..though the wanton mee was yummier...the soup version of course...dry one the sauce is just oyster sauce...




and of course to end of the day...we need to have dessert!!!...dont have pic for this..but the shop is found just opposite the Uni-Glo Building at Causeway Bay...the Steam Egg Custard...not bad le..but not my favourite....they had this pork chop bun..basically it's like fried pork chop in bread roll...ok also...not like to die for....wish I had tried the Xu Liu Shan everyone was talking about...maybe next trip ba..heee

Hong Kong Lantau Island

Was in HK from the 8th to the 13th April. Beautiful Beautiful weather. Stayed two days at Disney Hollywood Hotel...bottles of shampoo had Mickey ears on the cap..hee heee...first day we spend on Lantau Island...took the new crystal cable car...took ages as they only had 12 crystal cabin...madness...oh..actually crystal cabins just means that even the floor of the cabin is see-thru...



This was taken on our way to the big Buddha...heee..still too small to fit into the tourisy face thingy..



Lunch at the Po Lin Monestry...Vegetarian of course...abit bland maybe because it's suppose to be that way...it's like a set meal thing i think we paid about 60HKD each...the Luo Han Chai was really yummy though....and of course we had to eat the famous beancurd from a store outside the restaurant..yum yum yum



This is the big Buddha...i didnt get to climb up the gazillion steps leading to it though....was looking after J...who of course was sleeping....(yes yes..excuses)
