Its still the beginning... there's a looong way more to go. 14 more weeks to be exact.

My routine in Hong Kong is just basically lounging around at my place, going online and chatting on skype or just reading on my bed. My roommate has the same lazy and relaxed lifestyle as me... I suppose this is accentuated by the fact that our house is conveniently located. It is surrounded by cheap eateries and a singapore restaurant is just opposite our house (though they do not serve ANY thing that remotely resembles singapore food) and we have a macs and a mini-mart opposite too. Everything's just a short walk away so there's really not much hassle for us girls... When we want to wash our clothes, we turn left. when we want to eat, we go straight. when we want to cut our hair, we turn right.

Im waiting for the first month to be over. because that would signal a stable routine. Now, things are still new, there are many things im still unsure of (which way to turn when im in a crowded junction, or where are the good places to go and eat or what are the safest things you can order that wont go wrong in Hong Kong). I suppose in the midst of all these changes (i.e. moving in, adapting to a new environment) it'll be a great relief to establish some sort of order, some sort of stability.

To answer some of the same questions i've been getting about...
- work
Work's fine. everything is the same day in and day out. Hopefully i would have finished my pile of documentation by tomorrow and i would be given something more challenging, new and fun to do.

-weather
The weather's cooling. It sometimes doesnt feel like summer here and the nights do get quite breezy and cold.

-food
Its the same everywhere, noodles or fried rice. No... contrary to what people think, it not dim sum everyday for me. In fact, i havent gone for a proper yum cha yet. Truth is, the food here is terribly pricey. Everything is at least 6 HKD. And for someone whose means revolve arolund a paltry sum of *** dollars, i have to watch my daily expenses on food.

-entertaintment
Not much here. not much at all. i just watched MI3 and it cost me 13 bucks! Going to the theatres is considered a treat for me but i've got to admit.. the seats are way cool and damn comfortable. Nightlife is stagnant around my area and we would have to cross over to the hong kong island to club. Weds and thurs are ladies nights but lets face the awful truth... there's no way i can get up for work the next day and weekend rates are relatively more than Singapore's.

-Exercise
Non-existent. Compared to some people i know back home who are just whacking the gym everyday to impress some girl...heh heh... im not doing any sports here because going to the gym is expensive and far. But i am thinking of taking up a sport or something... maybe mirror what my bf is doing in Singapore and take up rock climbing too?

-communication
i talk to my sis over msn almost everyday. she keeps me informed about whats going on at home...(nothing much considering my mum is away too) sometimes, i get calls from my aunts to ask how am i.. which is cool... i talk to my friends on msn every night too and i skype with Jiang almost every night as well... but... i don think thats what communication means here... Ok... my canto is improving slightly. i can make out a few words here and there and maybe speak a broken sentence thats barely comprehendable but thats about it. On the other hand... my gesturing and pointing skills have improved tremendously though...

Yup.. i think those are the more frequent questions... well dont hesistate to ask me more since... i am quite bored and free at the office... in fact, im typing this on my office desk... hee.
