Hi everyone, its Sunday evening - week before Chinese New Year! In Hong Kong, we have to work from Mon-Wed and only get Thurs-Sat off as holidays. Its because HK also gets all those Western holidays.
This week was busy but I met a few new friends, so its nice to be social again. Veronica just moved here in August, and she's expecting a baby in March! What a coincidence that their condo is right next to my office tower, and their wedding anniversary is exact date and year of ours. We enjoyed "so-so" food at Sala Thai at ICC. Also this week I finally reconnected with Saima (whom I met 4 months ago with our husbands/friends) and Wing, a fellow McMaster alumni. Then back to our roots - we joined a Dragon Boat practice for a team called Stormy's. It was really far in Tai Tam (past Stanley) but a good time. Man , I am sore! Finally , after a terrible week of work meetings, Stephen and I joined Nancy for her birthday karaoke / band party in TST Kimberley Road area. It was nice to catch up!
Yesterday I went with Stephen's parents to the Big Buddha (Ngong Ping 360 Gondola ride from Tung Chung station). It was lovely weather and a nice climb. All these dozens of trips to Hong Kong, I never made it to the Buddha. Don't think I'd go back but it is still a lovely trip and view. Thereafter we enjoyed the Asia food court options at the Tung Chung outlet mall, and bought a few clothes as well. Long day with the family ... but fun and fulfilling...especially after our YUMMY mango and red bean dessert choices at Hui Lau Shan in Shun Tek Centre near home.
This week we may go to Macau and Zhuhai with Stephen's uncle who is visiting from Taipei. I wish everyone a happy new year's in Canada and here. Year of the Rabbit!
