the end of August

I'm getting a bit home sick.

was supposed to be on the plane back to sunny island this coming saturday AND

go for the SHAPE run on sunday.

Instead, I'm shifting apartments this saturday and doing sunday brunch with friends and I totally burnt out from nights of partying til dawn.

So, yea, I'm finally done with apartment hunting.

Got a unit right smack in Lan Kwai Fong, within walking distance from Hollywood Road where office is. It's a small unit, given the amazing rental it charges, but the location is really 'Mo Dak Deng' (cantonese = very good)! Plus, I've looked at a whole lot of other alternatives, but they're fully booked until OCT!

I just hope I can't hear the music blasting from the clubs at night though and... it'll be so convenient to get home when i'm drunk! haha!

Was feeling SO lethargic the entire week. Everyday it's counting down the hours, minutes and seconds before i'm officially off work. Couldn't even get my butt going to the gym.

Intended to just get some good rest at home on Friday evening, but I'm glad I didn't.

Fion's best friend brought us to this factory outlet place which has labels (Bebe, CK, True religion, etc...) going for so much cheaper! Couldn't resist and I got a lovely dress there - need to find an occasion to wear it though.

And I had the most yummilicious Korean food ever, at Tsim Sa Tsui. Usually, I hate kimchi, but this one was soooo goood! It's run by authentic Korea Koreans. The Beef Ribs is a must try! I want to go back there again!

Mr Goh, you would so love this dish.

It also turned out to be one of the girl friend's birthday. =)

We headed to Bloomers after that - live music (jazz and blues) on Wyndham Street. The owner is uber friendly too, the young lead singer a bit cute. =D

Was not up for another night of dancing til dawn - so we headed home.

I happily woke up at 23opm in the afternoon.

Had a complimentary facial treatment at 5pm, courtesy of Mr Ho, at his beauty centre - Athena Beauty Centre at Gold Coast Shopping Mall.

In between 230 and 5pm, I fell into lapses of unconsciousness.

During the 2 hour treatment - France Gelle Freres: using DNA pure plants extracts, good for keeing skin youthful - looking, treating wrinkles, dry skin, acne scarring, leaving skin feeling silky and smooth - I fell into a semi-conscious state too.

I am tired beyond the imaginable.

The Gold Coast is a beautiful place too, yah? Alfresco dining by the water front and there's a nightly bazaar there too. Didn't have time to drop by - another time, maybe.

Dinner was prepared by Mr Ho, who stays directly opposite me as I look out of my apartment's window. Hurhur. He stays on Park Island - next to the Tsing Ma bridge.

I miss home cooked food!

I miss the carrot and potato soup my mum prepares, the soy sauce pig's liver and pork thingy, black chicken soup, teochew style steamed fish, veggies with scallops, and RICE.

In any case, dinner was

sharks fin abalone soup

canadian steak (medium rare)

seafood pasta and asparagus

I actually finished everything - and had another 2 slices of mango chocolate cake,

while watching meg ryan in Addicted to Love. What a glutton.

yea, super big wine glass - which makes drinking difficult cos you gotta tilt it more than 90 degrees but is excellent for taking in the aroma of the wine, and fantastic for magnifying your face.

I was supposed to do some work today, and pack. But of course, I just spent my Sunday afternoon lazing away.

Argh, monday blues.
