Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu!! \(^O^)(^O^)/
Sssoo first post of 2007!! wwooohhooo!!! a sad face and wave goodbye to 2006, where a lot of things happened for me. Not least me moving country :P Whats it been now?
9 months going on 10!!! wow time does fly f(^_^;
So how was new years for you?
It was an okay one for me, I was on an island not so far from the one I'm on now. A mite smaller but just as lovely of the name Hong Kong you might know it :)
Was a fun time all in all, spent a lot of time with my family over there. Mainly my cousins who thank whole heartedly for putting up with me before my parents arrived.
Was great to see my parents again and to know somethings never ever ever change hehe.
Bro as well and we just fell into the groove that brothers do, not many words but we know what we're on about lol
As well as people from the same bloodline I alse spent a good amount of time with some friends who had gone over for their holiday. 2 lovely ladys who
it was a joy to see again. The first was the camera shy (lol) but delectable Sara (without an 'h') who had to sneak a pic of (not a very good 1 I'll add and she'll kill me later for posting it).Even though we only met once in 11days (!! (:_;) ) It was still great to see her and talk to her, but the larger part of the time and my phone bill was spent texting her. In proper English text style, which I miss alot since I'm quite the text fiend hehe.
The 2nd of the two ladys was the delightful Ling who I can count as quite an old friend. We spent two sunny talkative days together. The first day we went to the peak, which nearly didn't happen because of silly me going to the wrong station (>_<)
We took the tram up which you can see in the background of the picture with us both in it. The day was quite windy (hence the messed up hairdo) but it was still very popular with us having to wait in a lllllooonng queue for the tram. But it was worth it, it being a very clear day with not a cloud in the sky, we were able to get a great view of place.After coming down from the top, we had dinner with Lings' 'loving' parents. A private matter not to be divulged on the interent but an amazing insight into another persons life other than your own.
I was also able to see the Ling family house in HK which was quite the impressive abode. All white with fish under the floor and a snooker room to boot,sweeet (^^).After a little stop we then went to find a good place to drink, it was new years eve after all :)
We went to lui yun gai which was overcrowded as expected and then to tsim sa jui (sorry cant spell :(( ) which was just as crowded. In the end new years was an underwhelming affair. Just not the same without seeing someone puking
their guts out on the street :P but the atmosphere just didn't feel right, didn't feel like new years :(The next day we went to Disneyland, which was a first ever for me v(^_^)v. A very nice day and spectuarly hot!! felt like summer!! honestly I got a little of a tan!! :P 'small' was the word used by Ling like a hundred times during out time there, compared to the other disneylands. Their were some nice rides
but you got the impression the place was made purely for the younger kids. Highlight was the last show which was a live rendition of the Lion King. An all singing all dancing show which made want to go see the stage show :))The day ended late with us walking and talking into the night. Miss you lots Ling Ling :)The rest of the days were spent with my parents and family, shopping, eating, walking ,eating some more and of course eating some more again :P So I leave you with some random pictures and some pictures of my last night in Hong Kong spent eating at the Famous floating restaurant.
My cousins (left to right-Jun Bong,Yiw Yun and Kai Hong)
The floating restaurant we ate at, then my mother brother and father in front of said restaurant. Then my ikle cousins left to right, Katie Amy and Jenny :)

Have a great one!! ja ne
