slowly so that the next season can be out at the same time. Apparently I am not as patient as I thought! I miss them already!

Weird feeling
Sometime I got these weird feelings why am I in Hong Kong or should I say disbelieve. Whenever I look out to the Hong Kong sky, I wonder why am I here. It is still hard for me to believe that I actually quit my job and landed myself in Hong Kong. It had been 3 months since i quitted my job and flew to Hong Kong.
Most of the time now I wonder what's waiting for me in the future. It is sure weird when you have no idea what's going to happen, well, at least for me. This kind of feeling usually nudged me once or twice a month. Not that I am unhappy or anything, just weird, just weird.
Having said all these, I will still make sure I travel around Hong Kong as much as possible. I had so much more Japanese food here than in Singapore. Hong Kong food is still quite limited in my dictionary. I know I should be trying out Hong Kong, but, but, I prefer Japanese food. =)
Oh, and the fact that, I visit Toast box more than local delight. The Nasi Lemak and Kopi O in Toast Box is really comforting to my homely soul. My insomnia is really quite bad given that I am not watching football and the time now is 5 minutes to 5 am. =_= The woes of not having to work!

Food: Bologne
Subscribing to the world cup yesterday was obviously bad for my waistline. I started to prepare supper for the game. Tonight supper is from one of my favourite bakery in Hong Kong.
Bologne Bakery
Pork Cutlet Sandwich
I know the picture doesn't look at all appetitzing but it is. The deep fried pork cutlet, cooked to the perfect tenderness, with mustard and a few strands of lettuce sandwiched between this slice of soft white bread. It is a total yum. I can eat this everyday.
Time Checked: 12:10am.
Sandwich: gone.
Mood: Happiness.

Sticky sticky weather
I am back in Hong Kong from my 2 weeks long vacation. I miss my Singapore home. I miss drinking Kopi-o and eating BCM. =(
Lucky for me, there is toast box in Hong Kong, so I had Nasi Lemak. It was actually quite good.
The weather in Hong Kong is terrible. I sweat like mad walking around the house. And guess what, the air-cons in the house start dripping dirty brown water. Right now, the air-con maintenance uncle is cleaning up the 2 air-cons. He looks very professional with all his tools. I wanted to follow him into the room and spy how he clean the air-con but that would look like stalking/distrust he can do his job, so I am sitting on my sofa typing this entry. I am looking forward to the cold air already.
I can't wait to start posting photos from my trip. I better do it fast else it will be like the last time, i did not managed to finish for all the places i went. =_=!!! I got distracted/lazy easily.
Below is one to start!

Rainy and Gloomy
I am back in Hong Kong. Been wanting to pen down my recent flight back, and as usual, procrastinate till now. It was such an eventful one.
First, the flight was supposed to be at 4pm, Sunday. I received a text that morning around 8am informing the flight will be delayed to 5.55pm, which means more time with my family, more food. Arrived at the airport around 4pm, and proceed to check-in, only to find out the flight further delayed to 630pm.
They gave me a SGD25 voucher to be used in selected cafes/restaurants (quite limited). I wanted to drink my last cup of local kopi-o in wang before flying but 10000 people were queueing for seats. Thinking the food court in the terminal had coffee and toast, another chance for my kopi-o, i happily hopped through the custom. Guess what, the food court area was under renovation. bleh. Luck is not on my side. In the end, I had a americano and beef wrap from Bakerzin. The beef wrap was actually quite yummy. The sky outside looked good too.
I managed to board the plane around 6.35pm, I took it as a good sign. I should arrived in Hong Kong around 10.45pm. It was a full flight. Beginning of the flight, the flight was shaking a little. After 40 minutes or so, the flight was flying smoothly. I took a few photos of the beautiful sky. Will share that later.
The food was quite good and the movie selections were not too bad. On and off the plane would start to shake a little, but everything was pretty normal. 45 mins before the scheduled touch down the pilot came on air and announced that due to adverse weather the HK airport is very congested and we would need to circle for 20 mins before we can start our descent, the 20 mins kept getting extended and eventually became 1h 30mins of hovering. The passengers grumbled about the delay but nevertheless continued on with their in flight movies. Non of us were aware of the thunderstorm that was waiting for us at lower altitude...
The descent began with its usual share of turbulence before escalating to sudden dips and flashes of thunder lighting up the dark storm clouds we were flying in. The engines were making disconcerting sounds and the couple behind me started discussing about the tragic MH370 flight at the most inappropriate moment. The turbulence were getting from bad to worse before the pilot decided to divert from the usual SG->HK flight route and cut in to China before returning to HK, probably to await the storm clouds.
After the plane touched down on the soaking wet landing field, there were signs of relief from the passengers. The 'delays' that were plaguing us on this flight wasn't over though, the pilot came back online and told us that we could expect a 30 minutes delay because there were 7 more planes ahead of us waiting to dock... before he came back on air and corrected himself... there 15 planes ahead of us! That being said, another 30 minutes gone.
Keen to have a drink, I was heading towards the DFS stores to buy a nice bottle of scotch to remember this eventful flight but all the DFS stores were closed (miss the 24hrs DFS stores in Singapore!).
Lucky for me the airport express trains were extended and I was able to catch the 2nd last train and made it home. To commemorate the fact that I made it back alive, I threw a little sinful "celebratory" party home with junk food and beer!

Like cotton wool, make me want to jump and swim in it.
Check out the small island.
The skyline so beautiful and the all the puffy clouds.
Can you spot the ship lights in the sea? The world keeps amazing me.

Sunny lander
I went missing for a while. 2 groups of people came Hong Kong last month and i fall sick the last week before back in Sunny Land.
It is always nice having people visiting me in foreign land. I had a very fun time travelling around Hong Kong, but i hate it when they had to leave. Yup, got me emotional for at least 1/2 days. Regardless, love having people over for a visit. =)
I am in Singapore now. Having BCM (Bak Chor Mee) now and almost everyday. My friend hates it when I use acronyms that doesn't make sense. I thought I was pretty cool like that. Haha.
Singapore is truly a food paradise. Other than home cooked food, my dad will take away yummy local fares for my lunch. I only have 2 more days to stuff more food into my tummy. I need to prioritise my list!
And below is Singapore for you. Wonderful weather we have here.
