One entry a few months after my trip!

Here I am reliving my moments in HK while a good friend of mine, Peck Yean is also visiting HK soon... Haha~ Peck Yean, Don't try to make me jealous! I'm reliving the moments with the photos I have taken in HK! And I miss the dim sum and shopping there~ Oh, the Ju Cheong Fun is really nice over there lo! Not like here, dry and so darn thick... eww... but still Singapore food still da best! Sedap! Look at the prawns in HK, so darn big, juicy and fresh!

Cultural differences




flap your wings
FOOD
Well, first of all, Hong Kong people's taste buds are different from ours! I really have to admit that certain foods are not really to my liking. However, pizzahut is superb over here, with their baked rice, and KFC with their portugese egg tarts!

People
Do you know that Philipinos make up 3% of the total population in Hong Kong? Well, most of the people in Hong Kong are Chinese. Why so many philipinos? I guess mostly come over for work. Hong Kong Chinese are quite good in their customer service. However, I must add that there are also some occasions whereby they are really rude, from the experience of my friends. I wonder whether it's our expections or that the sales personel does not understand what we say in English. I do feel that if we are able to speak English or cantonese, the people would look up to you. Which is sort of true. So people, learn cantonese before you come, you can get better discounts! Oh ya, they are implementing the GST scheme either from next year onwards or after the next year!
Through the summer exchange, I have learnt about amusing experiences. Haha~ Well, hmmm...
Once I went to Macau, and in the ladies' toilet, I saw a auntie doing her business without the door closed when there is a door. Hahaha, amusing, but I guess it may just be that she is used to her culture. Also, there was this American guy who was shocked when he saw us peel off the prawns' head and sucking out the juice. He said that, from where he came from, the prawns have already been beheaded and excluded from the servings. Well... we continue to shock him with the fish's eyeballs. Gasp!
=) Plain amusing, and embarassing....

It's been a long time since I've blogged.




flap your wings
Yep... It's like a century ever since I've blogged, but it's not really that long. Haha... I was just busy with studying Traditional Chinese Medicine for the last week. Well, after the TCM exam, the University held a dinner at a posh hotel( The Metropplis in Hung Hom), however the food was not really what I have expected. But the hotel do score points with the BBQ and cakes and desserts. I can only stare at the Hagen Daz as I passed by it, just because we did not pay $84 SGD for the buffet( we paid less, so had less variety too). In the photo: Most of us from NTU and YingQi from NUS, the guy in the middle is Benjamin from the USA. Jolly good fellow...

Anyway I didn't opt to go to the other temples.
There are so many temples in HK..lol. Furthermore I'm not into temples... Thus, I'll just slack around till I feel like going out bah...

A few snapshots from Macau Trip




flap your wings


Well, I tried snail for the first time and I must say that the texture tastes like one lump of mozarella cheese after it has cooled from cooking. Also, my camera died from shortage of power, so I need to get some of my pics from my friends.. haha... A nice trip on a birthday, I must say. However, felt a little cheated by the locals there.
