Just came back from Hong Kong and man, it's not only humid but EXTREMELY DAMN HUMID! I'm not exaggerating but 5 minutes out of the air-con area and I'm sweating like a pig. The temperature is similar to Singapore but the humidity is really high. I'm so sick of the sticky me. Anyway, I think it's due to the fact that everywhere is surrounded by tall building and no trees nor greens thus wind is unable to blow into the city?
The best thing is, the people there wear jackets and cardigans. I think they are used to it but I really cannot stand it. Even Ben said "Hong Kong: a place of sweaty armpits and refugees queueing for food" haha... Lines are always so long and even near 11pm, they are still queuing up for food. It's a city that never sleeps. This is the third time I'm there but I do not remember the hot weather although I know the crowd is bad. Everywhere, every time, people everywhere even on weekdays. But I guessed that is the reason why the city is so lively and I understand why Coco said Singaporeans are 'weird' (cos we sleep early, shops closes early, no shops or shopping malls below our flats). Although we are all Chinese but culture wise, we still have a little difference.
Funny thing is, we realised that every time we stepped into a restaurant or cafe, they will automatically served us tea. And automatically, we will drink it BUT I was told it was meant for us to wash our utensils! To think that we still find it yummy & wanted a refill. haha.. Luckily we din or else we will throw Singaporeans' faces. haha...It's a habit to wash the utensils with tea before eating. Peeps, do note if you are there. =p
Met up with frens over there. Two years yet they did not change much at all. Oh, I also went to Madame Tussauds and took many pictures with people like Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Jolin Cai, Angelina Jolie etc. Hmm, Cecilia Chung is not as tall as I perceived. Maybe my height but she's so slim or should I say skinny thus looking tall. Jay Chou is as tall as Ben only and we know, Ben is not t***... ahem.. lolx...
Surprisingly, I did not get anything much this time round. It's really a walking (walked from Tsim Tsha Tsiu to Tai Zi - about 1.5 hr walk from Bukit Timah to my home?), meeting frens and sight seeing trip. For a record, I only got 3 pieces of clothes and 1 pair of shoes when usually I will tug back a heavy fully filled luggage.
Next, Taiwan or Korea!! Anyone???
