Finally, I'm back to US - this place named Fishkill, New York. Don't be confused - although it is called New York, it doesn't mean it is a city.... As a matter of fact, New York City (NYC) is only a very small part of NY ~ and most of the time I have been in the States, I have been outside of the city (i.e. Cornell U was in Ithaca ...and IBM now is in Fishkill - both are non-cities).
What does that mean to not be a city? It means that you have to DRIVE to get to anywhere -oh yeah there is transportation but there is only ONE single bus (the name is 'loop bus') in the whole town! So, forget about taking it... There are cabs - but you have to know the phone #s to call them to the specific pick up place. Also, there are zero to only one single mall in the whole town. You have to drive at least an hour to get to the next biggest mall. Okay Cough cough...digressed a little
So here I am, I'd better write this down before I forget (these days I have short-term memory loss) ...I hate to admit but I miss HONG KONG!!! It's more like I miss my dear family and friends so much~ This weekend, since Park is not back from Korea yet, I have a lot of time for myself. It turns out to be very busy and insightful - I shopped at the Galleria Mall and did a lot of reading, and comtemplation (I should be doing more studying actually... =P ) Hong Kong is a dangerous place - it made me addicted to shopping!! It totally made me feel like a consumer - to be more precise, a female consumer. Spent way too much $$$ ever on Clothing + Cosmetics. So yesterday I spent 5 hours at the Galleria Mall by myself going into every single store I could. The stores were not bad actually, at least they had Banana Republic, Gap, V Secret, Macy etc. Too bad, the new pre-make up base that I found from Shiseido White Lucent line is not sold here in US ... (GiGi - the one I showed to you at Shatin, remember?)
Anyway, the trip this time to HK was WONDERFUL - Thanks my dearest brother for preparing the cellphone for me once I got off the flight - and I still remember my brother and sixth aunt standing at the busstop waiting for me at the Ma On Shan Hoi_Park station! Even though I was pretty tired the moment I got off, we went immediately to dinner. Bro- thank you for preparing my cellphone and all those little things to welcome me back~~~ Then the next morning, I went to see grandpa, who is now 92 already and still kicking! He has very good memory still, although his hearing got deteriorated a bit... We have to shout sometimes on the phone. But when talking face-to-face, he is doing fine. Then what followed were mornings/afternoons of shopping/meeting old friends like gigi, hung hung, Hang, PKers and 5Bers. Actually this time I didn't meet as many friends as I wanted to. Sorry ah Miu and Shirley, couldn't meet you girls this time. The only time I had dinner outside this trip was with PKers at TST...other than that, I basically had dinner w/ my aunts and mom and family. It was a lot of good time..... Just wandering around and chatting about anything was what I enjoyed the most - Some highlights here:
me and my bro Adrian~ don't we look alike? 
me and mommy~~~ (L)
Me and my 6e
Stephanie and 3e
my 92-yr-old beloved grandpa
the 4e's family!!! (Betsy is not here) Wing Wing is getting prettier each year! :)
ah there you go! Here's Betsy!
Of course I cannot miss seeing Hung Hung la.... We went Sing-K and almost couldn't meet for da day because some kind of interview (u know what i'm talking about! :) )
And there are the 5bers~~~ how many times have we met at Shatin like this? is this the 3rd time? Next time we should do something else!!! =)
God damn it the hair 'cut' took me 7 hours!!!! I missed the horse show tim ah!!! Ding....
hmm...GiGi looking at the bubble tea with contempt... ^_^ And finally... my family
March 26th - 29th, Busan, South Korea
While waiting for the flight to Busan (Dragonair) at the HK airport...I had lunch by myself at 'hang-hung-chan' and I had the most wonderful 'Dam-Dam' noodle ever!!! At first I was only having this noodle, but then because I was greedy, I also ordered a 'chong-you-bian' (green onion cakes) and finished half of it!!! Woosh... I carried a full stomach onto the 3-hr flight to an unknown territori - Busan.
