Location: Multiple Locations in Kowloon & HK Island....
Event #1:
After I got picked up by my aunt from the airport....went straight to her home to settle down... by settling down I mean I just went to her home and just took a shower...before I knew it I am already sitting in a restaurant having brunch with my grandma....my 3rd aunt and my 5th aunt with 2 of my cousins for Yum Cha.....and before i realized it my aunt had called all my other aunts for dinner @ a restaurant where they get to MJ/Karaoke/Eat all in one....and guessed what I even have to played MJ w/ my cousins....i kept losing though...hahah...man...haven't slept for over 48 hrs I finally had a good 8 hr sleep that night after dinner......but I am glad that I had seen almost EVERYONE on my mom's side...just a couple cousins missing...well i m sure we have our time to meet....
Event #2:
Aug. 18, 2006....without wasting another day, I have called up my dad's side relatives....it's a very common culture for hknese to Yum Cha....so my next event was also Yum Cha... went to see my grandma and aunt + uncles of my dad's side....and of course dinner with them as well....
Basically, Event #1 + #2 = lots of eating, lots of "why" questions and suddenly I am the centre of attention....honestly I still can't adjust myself to have a bunch of relatives around me...being the only family @ Toronto....everything is quiet over there......I understand that they all miss me and wanna take care of me....but it's very hard for me to keep up w/ all the meetings....coz everyone wants me to squeeze time for them.... @_@
Event #3:
Aug 19, 2006....seeing ALL MY RELATIVES for the last couple days was just too much for me...and i need to get away from them....I met up w/ my ex-colleague @ Toronto for lunch...it happened that she came back here to visit her mom and I was so happy that I was able to meet up w/ her before she left....had a very light lunch ceasar salad @ a italian restaurant called Amaroni's Little Italy @ Festive Walk located @ Kowloon Tong...
After lunch I met up with KK, but unfortunately my jetlag finally hit me and I wasn't really in the mood to talk or do anything....we had coffee @ Pacific Coffee which is also located @ Festive Walk but it didn't help....afterwards we went over to TST where there were multiple malls connected and it was crowded....there I saw Larry shopping w/ his family which he then join us for dinner later!! (details pls visit http://verylarry.blogspot.com)
[Aside] - Before we met up with Larry, KK got a call from his friend who apparently also shopping @ TST with gf...we then met up somewhere in the mall and my god....this gf...the first thing she asked KK was "where is your gf??" i mean is there no friendship between a guy and a girl??? this is sth that i can't stand hknese especially girls...they are so narrow minded and basically they can be described as "narrow person" coz all of them are so skinny and "narrow" anyways....later i figures out that they must have seen me and KK shopping and following us and called KK to see if he will lie...if so...then they will just pop up and make a big deal out of it... gosh.. i was so pissed that I had to call Trace to blast about it...... >.<
Event #4
August 21, 2006, finally getting ride of my jetlag...it's time to come down to the "main" event haha...which is visitng HKU and to get my registration ready.....I was so glad that Larry was able to spare the time to go with me....actually we didn't do much @ school....coz there isn't much i can do until a later date...so...all i did was handing in some papers....visit my future "home", Graduate House, which is on top of the mountain.....nice environment....non-polluted air...but too much walking.... (more details @ larry's blog.... ^^)
