Hong Kong: The Beginning
Chehhhh my title like some cheesy movie/book title only. Anyway, I’m all settled down in HK already! In case you forgot/never read my previous 2392 posts before, I’m here in HK for a semester-long exchange program! I’m in HKU so anyone who’s nearby and who wants to show me around, please let me know! I’m seriously quite desperate to meet locals wtf
Thank you for all your well-wishes but I’m fine now! I managed to get the right bus here and everything worked out well =D
Sorry I look super gross here but I want to show you my super big pimple! This is after ONE week and after I’ve popped it THREE times. It’s poisonous I tell you! Maybe that’s why everyone kept looking at me wtf
This is my room! I was actually pleasantly surprised at how spacious it is cause I’ve seen pictures of rooms that are smaller than store rooms! But my hall is far from campus so I guess that’s why rooms are bigger.
This. is. so. upsetting!!!
I actually have to buy a prepaid card for the airconditioner and if I turn it on, I see the meter running and my money going down T____T
Worst thing is, my room doesn’t have a freaking fan! So I’m forced to turn on the aircon! Anyway I got a table fan so it’s better now.
My view. I actually have an amazing view of the sea! But my hall is sort of under construction right now so this is my ugly view T_T
While waiting for my roommate!
Pimple is a lot smaller now phew. I’m going to do a post on my this makeup next! This is my favorite eyeshadow color =D
Got double eyelid for my smaller eye cause I used the sticker!
I’m so excited cause there are SASAs everywhereeeeeeee here in HK and they look super amazing from outside. Makeup makeup and more makeup *salivates to death. Can’t wait to go into one! They seriously have one Sasa on EVERY street.
Today, I went to the city with my roommate and her mom. They are Swedish but have been living in Malaysia for a long time now 
The char chan tengs here are sooo packed during lunch time. It’s crazy!
I seriously wish I can read Chinese T_T Most of the signs and menus are in Chinese!
These bamboo scaffolding thingies are so amazing. How can bamboos be so strong? And they’re only tied together with flimsy looking strings!
I haven’t camwhored in forever! Forever=3 days hehe.
That bottle I was holding? It was $8. RM4 for a bottle of mineral water. I really need to get used to the prices here. An average price for a meal here is $30-40 (RM15-20). Ouch! I miss RM4 chicken rice now 
Otherwise, HK seems like an amazing place to be. I haven’t found someone who likes shopping and eating as much as I do, so I’ll be exploring alone for these few days first. That way, I can spend hoursss in Sasa without worrying!
I think I’ll really grow to love this place.

You can get a decent meal in the 美心 canteen in Chong Yuet Ming building for less than HK$20. The century egg-pork porridge there is pretty good and cheap – it’s between HK$5 to 7. The Starbucks near the HKU library is also highly subsidized, you get 30% or 40% off the normal price. Also, if you want to get groceries (and happen to stay near the West gate), go down the hill and get your stuffs from Wellcome Supermarket in Westwood, it’s much cheaper there.
you are fat
just becareful when changing your clothes in the room or those construction workers mayb peep into your room. luckily your pimple is recovering and hopefully it won’t leave any scar
do u even have pores? ssuch wonderful skin!
fat gal: look who’s talking
I thought they have menus in English also…don’t they??? Ask the waiter what it is, then you are good to go…haha…
woh, the water is even more expensive then the states…don’t they have those water dispenser for you to drink them??? or just drink boil water..hehehe…
Hei, take care and don’t forget to miss us here…wakakakakak~
waaaa…i like the view from your room!
i have the urge of flying to hk now.
will you try out their street food?
so glad that things are fine for you now!!
while you are happily discovering HK, remember to share with us all your experiences ok!
take care!
walao u know how much i miss your camwhore pics hahaa

I’m sure you will enjoy your stay in HK.
Looking forward to your post in HK
LOL at baz’s comment on fat girl. haha!
fat girl, so tell me what is YOUR definition of fat? I bet you have really low self esteem too. Go get a therapist because it looks like you need one.
more camwhore pics nemaii one! we enjoy looking at your pretty face! 8DD
enjoy your stay there! and i wish i could be your shopping and eating partner!! T_T i wanna go hk too ;_;
hahahah the pimple!
Just a quick comment. When I was in HK, I was told that they use bamboo scaffolding because it’s flexible and thus, can withstand the typhoon winds that are typical in the area.
go crazy with the shopping!!
Hi Suet, I love reading your blog. Enjoy ur exchange in HK! would like to ask you what exchange is that? could you tell more about the exchange? Coz’ I’m interested in it, but have no idea where to start. =)

swet if i use the sticker for bigger eyes but it will appear 3 layers of eye lids cause I’m already double naturally =( just wish it will be bigger how?
happy study ya…eat well too.
hi suet li, citygate outlet mall & langham place are some good places to shop. of course nothing beats shenzhen when it comes to thrift buys!
ohh and Argyle Center (exit D2) of Mongkok Station has a lot of cheap fashion and accessories.
Suet your skin looks really nice in this post you know
Eh the aircon damn sad seriously -_-
Hong Kong food is awesome
Btw, could you tell us about your programme? Or should I email you about it.
Hi suet, can you do a post on how you use the double eyelid sticker?? I’ve been trying to use it for a long time and always fail. It either falls off or become so obvious that everyone starts asking.
((((
in feng shui (mian xiang), pimple on the nose means “poh choi” (lose wealth). be careful! good luck for your new journey in HK!
Hong Kong is amazing and I am pretty sure that you will like it there. And one more thing you look so pretty in all those pics. I hope that those gloomy days are over for you and from now on you can stay happy and pretty like this <3

average meal price in melbourne is $9-$10 (~RM30) WTF. T_______________T
but i’ve been trying to eat at a $6 asian restaurant here till i get sick of it wtf.
fat gal: err have you not been reading about the million posts of me complaining that im fat? have i said that i’m not? why are you so full of hate wtf
fat gal = coward = moron
and fat. =.=
looking great. you have travelled places that i could only dream of. hope you have a great semester!
i love the eye make up.. nice lah.. =) enjoy your time in HK.. i’ve never been there before but i heard a lot of good things abt the place.. hehe.. looking forward to see more of pics of HK..
AWH
Haha okay I thought it was external. Nevermind then 
hey gal~ always love ur make up n curly hair!
i m looking for a hair curler now…but not too pricey~
any suggestion? :p
enjoy ur life at the shopping heaven nehxx!!!!
owh!!!! i wanna go hong kong one day too!~ ha
dun bother about fat gal. I’m bet she’s way too jealous on you. only coward doesn’t want to show her/his real identity.
fat gal: what does her size or anyone else’s looks matter to you? is it insecurity? jealousy? jog on, this is getting old. it’s teh interwebs, your 15 seconds are up. no one gets riled up by someone hiding behind a nickname anymore.
hey, next time you have a huge ass pimple, get the Nexcare Acne Patch. it’s awesome. you just stick it on said pimple and voila! it sucks the puss and reduce the size of your pimple [after a few hours of course]. no pain no redness no nothing, and its cheap!!!
in Malaysia you can get it from Watsons, I dunno Hong Kong though. hehehe [ I just discovered this thing and happily sharing with anyone 
]
Ohh! Baz is so sweet 4 defending u la suet! ohh, and do a post on how u curl ur hair plsss~ reali lurve ur curls! XD

i love hk! so so much i went there 2 times in the past 3 years. the food there is amazing. you so have to try “Siew Ngor Pei” er not sure how to spell it, but it’s roast goose! it’s nicer than their duck rice
oh and er the last time my “banana” family went there, we just ordered wan tan mee all the way. some of them can be quite rude dontcha think?
oh oh you muustt go for their warehouse sales! they’re on the streets, you just have to find them. ok anyway take care there girl! hope you’re happier at HK

Hi Suet, U still look pretty with that pimple.
Can I know what kind of software you use to edit your last picture? TQ
Hi suet,u’re pretty!!btw can I know what medication u used for your pimple?thanks
hey suet, the best place to shop for branded items such as adidas, nike, samsonite, sasa and many others are located in Tung Chung. Is nearby the bus station. Tung Chung is just 5minutes away from the airport.
As for char chan tengs, you can go along Central and its a must to visit this restaurant, Tsui Wah located at 15-19 Wellington street, Central. You must try the milk bread…i kinda forgot the name and the pork rib spagethi….its good!
Nearby the central wet market they sell the famous tong yuan as well…. and along the way they have their famous taufu busuk and yu tan….
Ohya…dont forget to visit Stanley as well…nice place to chill and most importantly shop!! There is a duck rice restaurant there absolutely need to try next to a fruit shop. You may need to queue for hours, thats what i did last year but its definitely worth the wait! =)
how long will you be in HK?
I tot u jz go thr for vacation..
How’s HK? enjoy over thr?
weekends go Stanley..i think the place suit u.
I like your make up
Hi, nice blog, i’ve been in Hong Kong for two terms in 2009 and 2010 at the Hong Kong University, check out my photo blog under : http://blog.hongkonguniversity.de
Interesting, always fun to learn something new, tho I’m not sure I completely agree with the point and view. Nonetheless, great share
