Farewells
EDIT *added video**
I have a million and one pictures to post! I have an exam tomorrow but here I am, resizing pictures and posting them on facebook and blogging =___= good job good job

Dinner with Kok Yew at this posh Chinese restaurant at IFC! The roast pork tasted extra extra yummy, if only I could afford this everyday *dreamy sigh

Green tea frozen yoghurt with mochi for dessert *salivates at the thought of it

Thanks for the dinner Kok Yew, don’t work too hard ok!

Hotpot dinner with basketball teammates! Last week was just food food and food

Really expensive teppanyaki dinner with roommate which was sooo worth it cause it was $200 for 5 courses but they gave us so much crap in between!! So happy =D and it was an amazing dinner cause it was just the two of us and they spaced out the serving time between dishes nicely so we had time to talk and bond too

one fine day when i couldn’t be bothered to do stuff with my hair, so i just tied it up in a bun! simple and easy!

Brain food for my two weeks of exams!

Hehehe let me tell you a cute story!
So one day the guy in the room below us was playing his guitar kinda loudly and we were studying so it got a little distracting. We wrote him a note to tone it down, stick it in a bottle and send it down to him!
Then he stopped playing and we felt bad about it so we sent him another note with some snacks! But after that, he didn’t reply or anything even though we left the bottle there for him to reply
sad story

so we pulled the bottle back up sadly with tears in our eyes T__T

This was from Saturday! Went to Lamma Island with some friends
Had expensive seafood which wasn’t that worth it wuwu

Final clubbing with my favorite girls on my floor!

From yesterday, final farewell dinner with my closest friends here in HK

We had wine but I couldn’t finish my glass less I risk turning super duper red

Then we went up to the Peak but it was too misty and we couldn’t see anything

The view
And we felt like some crepes but the shop was closed

Then we asked a girl to take a picture of us with the University of Hong Kong sign but she took of us, without the full sign
Undeterred, Maria said we should buy our own ingredients and make our own crepes, which proved to be the best bonding experience we’ve ever had

Here is Maria, our master chef

Ser Siang, our strawberry slicer extraordinaire

Kevin, our super fast crepe mix, uh, mixer

Koki, our whipcream, uh, whipper

And finally, your resident camwhore wtf
No lah I had the most important and often overlooked task ok! To document everything *smug

I captured the best moment that night! Koki wanted to pour wine into the mix so we can all get drunk, Rex was egging him on and Maria (our mom) was telling him to stop hahaha
We eventually poured wine into the mix later on which turned out to be pretty yummy!!!

Kevin thought the way I cut bananas was funny. No Kev, YOUR FACE is funny wtf *weak retort T__T
video of us!

With my amazing roomie in polaroid
I ♥ her sosososo much!!

I got the wrong pair of grey lenses! But they still look okay I guess

Finally!! the fruits of our labor!

Yums!

This is really meant to be. I should really make crepe-decorating my profession!

Ser Siang and Kevin got gifts for all of us!!! How sweet T___T Kevin got me a gorillapod, which I’ve been wanting since forever! Now I can take more pictures from every angle possible =D

Ser Siang got me this headband which I’ve been eyeing too! omg they are the best gift-givers ever.

All of us with our gifts! taken with my camera on the gorillapod =D

Maria and her funny eye mask from Kev! hahaha

They are roommates too! We ♥ our roommates

Kev and I, final picture of the great night
And then we sat down and had emo talk and listened to emo music T___T Bye bye great friends, hopefully we’ll meet again some fine day. If not this lifetime then maybe next lifetime! What if I get reincarnated as an ant and get stepped on before I met you guys wtf
Haih fucking emo I don’t want to leave!!! Leaving here is like waking up from a dream and pulling myself back to reality! But i guess the reality isn’t that bad at all.
I’m going to Dubai for Xmas and New Year cause my dad’s there and we’re going to visit him! Can’t wait =D

haih please eat less good food lah, later when you come here all my cooking will seem subpar
and your face is red in more than half the pics, ms. tipsy wtf
oh i was going to write a comment on your previous post but you blogged again and there’s like 140 comments there already wtf.
but ohhhh i sense some underlying sadness in this post =( like … you’re more emo than what you’ve written?
it must be hard to leave a place like HK, especially when you’ve bonded with so many people and made so many great friends!
anyway … to a new chapter of your life!
there will be many many many more “Hong kong”s to look forward to, if you know what I mean …
aw your time in HK is ending…at least you have some great friends and memories to take away with you (metaphorically about the frds ofcourse, cannot actually pack them into suitcase with you. hahah)
have fun in dubai with your family!! i have never been..i actually don’t know, what is there to do there? O_O
best of luck for your exams!
About the guitar guy. I had the same experience. My mum knocked my door and said tone it down cuz the neighbour complained. I had to hide. I felt so embarrassed. Maybe the guy was a bit angry but I think he was more embarrassed than angry.
Good luck in your exams!
SIU YUK CHAR SIU SIU YUK CHAR SIU OMG I COULD DO WITH SOME RIGHT NOW
T____________T
i hate school wtf.

p.s - love your hair made up in a bun, so effortlessly pretty.
p.p.s - all the best in your exam
farewells are always hard, esp when you’ve made awesome kick ass friends!
oh no, even *i* feel sad reading this… i know how hard it is to leave behind some really fast friends u’ve just made.. and knowing tht u would probably not meet most of them again once you part ways… even if u do in future, prob things weren’t be the same anymore… sigh~
=( awww i understand how it feels to leave ur great friends. if i were u, i would feel the same too.. they are such wonderful friends.. it’s no wonder u feel sad to leave the place and them too.. i think with close bonds like that, surely u guys will meet again in the future. =D hey, im sure u all got facebook right? use it as a method to keep in contact yea. hehe..
love all ur pics btw.. as usual i love your pics.. u owes take really nice pics.. lol. ok serious business now, shoo shoo.. go study now Suet Li! lol wtf feel like a mum nagging her daughter =x
