I HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH OF HONGKONG

So much so for the much awaited trip...
Too many changes prior to and during the trip..
Making the fun factor drop, and the disappointing factor slowly increasing..

First, it was supposed to be a Taiwan trip.
Next, it became two trips, Koh Samui and HongKong.
Koh Samui wasn't too bad though we missed our main purpose of the full-moon party.

HongKong trip was supposed to be one group of G's friends, G, Cat and I.
2 weeks before the trip, the group reduced to Cat and I, and the trip was shortened.
I started to read up and plan for the trip. Read too much till I got abit bored..
The explore level dropped..

1 week before the trip, G said he probably could go for a day or two.
I felt kind of relieved.
The trip was on Wednesday.
Monday, G told me that he's not going again due to his business in SG.
Huh?! Ok...

Tuesday, I was totally sianed about the mad rush..
Wednesday, Cat was late for our 8am flight due to the 1hr 45min bus ride in bus 24.
We got to take 10am flight, settled down in hotel at 4pm instead of 2pm.
We had to postpone the Disneyland day to a FRIDAY!!
Cos we missed the 3.30pm parade...
What the..
*frustrated*

Met up with our Hong Kong friend - Suki on Wednesday..
Was quite argh.. when she asked me when G will be joining us in HK?
Cos G told me he's not coming..
And it's unlikely that he didn't call Suki after confirming that he's not coming.
I sms him, "You haven't called Suki and said that you aren't coming?"
The reply I had was he was too busy. *okies*

Thursday morning, I received his call..
And he was asking alot about HK..
Like how was it, got buy anything for him.. blah blah..
One of the things was.. "You really told Suki that I'm not going ah?"
I was like.. I really don't know what you want loh..
You said you are not coming, yet you don't want to let her know..
Then didn't want me to tell her that you are not coming, and she kinda liked to ask abt it..
And I feel like an idiot when I say, I still don't know if he's coming..
Not too frustrated or what.. It was just kinda irritating...

At Ocean Park, then I received an sms, telling me that he will touch down at midnight.
Mixed feelings of happy, surprised, irritated, and hmm.. finally you say you are coming...
Then we re-planned our day again at Ocean Park..
Instead of Ocean Park -> TST -> The Peak -> Lan Kwai Fong
We went Ocean Park, then TST...
Cos since he's coming, we go Lan Kwai Fong on the next day loh...
Actually could have planned Ocean Park, then Disneyland on a Thursday...
Oh well..
What plans? Throw all the plans away man..
Shouldn't have planned in the first place right?!

Weekends are crazy.. Nothing to fancy.. Unless you loved to be sardines...

Ok.. whatever..
I'm just very glad that G joined us, despite the few irritating things he did..
And I really was on the verge of packing G's namecards into my wallet..
But was just the little irritating last minute changes, and since he said he wasn't coming..
I told myself to put them away a couple of times..
If really business was that impt, you have to learn that namecards are equally impt..
There were probably lost opportunities to become more global..
I wondered if I did the right thing to put the cards away...
If I brought the namecards, the readily available namecards could just be taken for granted..?
I don't know what I want to say here anymore.
But please, darl.. bring namecards, at least one or two in your wallet...
If you want me to bring, give me more cards, and tell me to bring it..
I'll bring it whenever I feel that there's a chance that you might need it...

What's there in HK? Shop eat shop eat?
There's only shop shop and more shop I guess..
But weird thing was, I didn't have much impression on shop.. really..
And looking at the things I've got, I didn't really shop much..?
1 eyeliner, 4 tops, 1 pair of shoes, 1 sling bag. Keyrings, keyrings and more keyrings..
A top for bro2 and a tie for bro1.

Saturday morning, when I was told that flying off at 8pm was late? Too much time?
Wanting to try to see if there's earlier flight? Hmm..
Actually I hadn't seen enough of HK.. but well.. no other flight..
We were stucked till 8pm..
If there's a thought of too much time, probably walking around will become torturous?
Plus I was pretty irritated that we were rushing around all the while...
So I rather do something to my hair and hopefully make myself feel better..

Nearly slipped my mind about lao po bing..
Luckily Cat managed to get some for me..

The flight back to SG was yet, another rush.
Boarding time - 7.40pm.
7.30pm, I reminded Cat that it was 7.30.
She was still trying to spend off her final HKD..
We went into the transit area minutes before 7.40.
It was my first time passing through the gate, without having the need to do body check with the baton...
I thought it was pretty smooth till I realised Cat wasn't appearing after some time..
She was held back cos she placed her cute lighters for her bosses in her hand carry..
Erh..
5 out of 6 were confiscated...
Erh..
I got nothing to say..
But a reminder to all..
No flammable items in hand carry.
No sharp items in hand carry.
And.. whatever...

We ran for the flight..
Ran for the last gate...
My feet were giving way..
Haiz.. so much so for wanting to relax at the salon..
Then our luggage gave abit of problem cos they weren't stowed away..
Given the loss of lighters, my dear Cat was easily agitated, I guess...
Or probably too pampered by SQ..
And she threw alittle of tantrums and said she will only fly SQ in future..
Probably getting pissed with the flight crew and complaining about them took her mind of the loss of the lighters?!

Oh well..
Thanks..
I didn't expect that I have to tolerate unhappiness like such..
Whatever... What I want to say..
Whoever who was angry and what not..
Expressing your "pissed-ness" and "bu-shuang" may be a good vent for thyself..
But you definitely made the people around you feel lousier than none of these...

I was rather appreciative of Cathay,
When they helped us to transfer to a later flight on day 1, without additional charges.
They really helped me alot when I was asking for help that Cat couldn't make it..
I was glad that at first we didn't had seats together when we check-in our luggage in HK airport..
And even though we were so late, they had helped to arrange for us to be seated together..
Well.. Though late and seats are different matters..
I was glad that the crew was pretty helpful with our luggages..
There was only one probably inexperienced crew member that ignited the anger or what..

So much so for the trip..
Saving up.. and taking minimum money from my parents..
Guess what?
My dad didn't even know that I went HK!!
He told my mum and bros, why didn't I take any money from him?

Whatever..
The trip as tiring..
I hadn't had enough of HongKong.. really..
I want to go Hong Kong again..
And people have to remind me that there's 3 more weeks to school reopen.
Thanks man..

Not feeling too great from the trip..
Feeling abit feverish..
Darl.. u probably spread ur little fever virus to me..
I thought it was not enough sleep..
But insufficient sleep isn't like this..
I was totally staring blankly, no matter how hard I tried to feel clear-minded.
Sighz..

No appetite for food..
Didn't have dinner..
Catched Pirates with Joo..
Stayed till the very last to watch a stupid thing..
Well.. Probably it wasn't stupid?!
Cos Pirates 1, the monkey thingy, we thought it was stupid too..
But.. end up the monkey has its part to play in Pirates 2...

Yes.. no appetite for dinner..
I just didn't want to do anything!!
Tomorrow's the council outing..
Sometimes, I felt tired cos I needed to coordinate when I was in HK...
My phonebill.. How I wish I wasn't the one paying for them..

Complaints complaints complaints..
That's it..
Don't ask me anymore about the trip..
I just want to put a full stop to it..

Postponed my tomorrow's lesson to next week..
It was too much for me.
I'm very very very very vexed and tired...
I need to relax.. really..

Holidays' running out..

Oh no!!! I need to move my room..

Get me out of SG!!
Some sugar daddy.. please, come find me..
