The End (2)

Great. I can't even upload the last photo here. Hahaha, oh well. As much as I want this to be sentimental, I'll have to just forget it and move on. I've created a new blog. I typed out a new post but it'll be scheduled to be published at midnight (in less than 5 hours). You guys would have to relink me since I decided I should create a new URL for the year. Yes, I've been faithful to this URL, everybodyloveseugene, for like 9 months. Hahaha, so I guess it's time to move on to a new URL. I remember how I used to change the URL every month until I forgot how it was such a tussle for people, who had to relink me over and over again. I don't know if I'll get sick and tired of my new blog URL but who knows anyway? Hahaha.
-
Take your time to relink, I'm not forcing you to do it straightaway. If you do relink me or if you do link me, let me know so that I can link you (if I hadn't). The URL is: http://laissezmoitranquille.blogspot.com/ .
-
The URL is a little bit hard to digest, I guess? Hahaha, I'm still not used to the spelling but anyway, laissez-moi tranquille means leave me alone in French (lay-say-mwa-trong-keel). In that new blog, you'll see some French words, I know that you guys are all smart enough to know it in English because it's basically quite obvious -- especially if you read the column, you'll know what the title in French means already. Look out for the other posts at the new blog I said I'd publish. Lastly, have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! =)

The End (1)

I think it's settled. It was a quick decision. I find it better. After all, we're all about making a new beginning, starting afresh, wanting forgiveness and having fun. I've grown to love this blog, I love the layout and I love how it makes me feel -- e-home. It's my e-home. It's my online diary. I may have started it in the third month, like March, but I've never felt more e-home than my previous blog of FIVE years. Yes, that previous blog of FIVE years had SOOOO MUCH History there. I tried reading my Secondary One posts but I gave up due to the horrible e-lingo I used.
-
I love it so much I think I'm feeling the reluctance in me that doesn't want to part with this blog. But I must. I will be starting a new blog in a totally new account. I have no choice, if I want to blog about my HK trip, my 2009 Memoirs post, my 2010 Resolutions post and my Secondary School Life post, I should really start a new blog. I've gotten so used to signing in this account that I don't know what I should do now. Blame that bloody photo-upload-limit.
-
But anyway, I can't be too clingy to something that's not in the 'real world', if you know what I mean. Hahahaha, so I must move on. I'll create a new blog. Don't worry, ALL THE POSTS HERE won't be deleted. In my new blog, it'd still be the same URL, same layout, but just that the posts are not there. Ah, you'll know when you see. This blog, this account with blogs, I'll abandon. Who knows when's the next time I'll come back here? LOL. If it weren't for the photo-upload-limit, I would still blog here. But oh well, I figured, create a new MSN account, create a new Blogger account = Empty Picasa Web Album. HAHAHAHA! OK BYE!

Anything About This

LOST. What do you think? Hahahaha. Uhm, I guess I'll find some way to continue with my HK trip post. Oh and uh, my connection's been a bitch for the whole day, so that's the reason why I watched LOST the whole day -- not because I had other choices but because I was only left with one -- this. Anyway, time to get back to offline-and-on-a-computer-reality (sounds contradicting -- seems that contradictory is what is happening these days around people. LOL). Bye!

Pack Up Granny

So I just spent three hours uploading photos for my Hong Kong Trip Part Four when I received an error after 100 photos have been already uploaded, that the remaining 30 (for that post I intended to publish a total of 130 photos) can't be uploaded since there's a photo upload limit? According to Blogger, it says all the photos I've uploaded since 2005 (if you didn't know, I have another blog which I started since 2005 -- when I was in Secondary One, it's in one of the columns under, 'My Own Websites'. I stopped blogging there since there were vulgarities, insults against teachers and classmates and the authorities in school asked me to remove all the bad stuff there. I have, but I wanted to start a new -- hence the title of the first post of this blog) up till now has been uploaded to some Picasa Web Album website?
-
What's worst (or better?) is that it's full of photos I've uploaded since my first blog post (2005) up till now. I think. It's a good thing because I've lost some of the photos. It's a bad thing because, now that the photo upload limit is full, I would have to do some serious deleting and that would take LOTS OF TIME and coming from a person who stays at home and becomes a potato couch (by potato couch, I mean, sitting in front of the laptop watching TV shows), I only have so little time a day for such stuffs. Hahahaha. I still have 30 photos left to upload and that's not all. I still have Part Five, Part Six and Video Gallery on HK (yes, I took some videos).
-
But of course, I doubt I'd have any video upload limit since I rarely upload videos here and most of them are uploaded in my YouTube channel and embedded here in my blog posts. So if you've been waiting for Part Four, Five and Six, I'm sorry, it won't come any sooner. I guess I'm also going to have to wait until I start on my 2009 Memoir post and Secondary School Life post because those two posts I intend to do needs a whole lot of photos, heck, there might be five parts even. I really wanna do them as an online memoir so it'll definitely be done, I'm just not sure when. In the meantime, my 2010 resolutions post doesn't need any photos. =)
-
Lost isn't that bad, I guess it just gets ridiculous to think they're still trapped in the island in Season 5 or whatever the latest season it is they're at. So I'll wait for that ridiculous season? I don't know. Hahaha. Anyway, happy 17th birthday Joel! I'M SO SORRY I COULDN'T COME. The truth is, and it's a silly truth, I didn't feel like mixing around people whom I have not met for a long time or whom I have not met at all. I've been feeling like an anti-social since Saturday and I just don't want to socialize, I really am not in the mood. I don't know if this is some consequence of getting over someone or being neglected by the same person but I just feel like this all of a sudden. So Joel, if you're reading, I'm really sorry I can't be there, but those who didn't turn up, we'll all make it up to you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you enjoy your birthday anyway!

Good night everyone!

Hong Kong Trip Part Three

Third Day (13th December 2009)
--
So in the morning at Wan Chai, we headed to a restaurant just a block down from our hotel to have breakfast at this restaurant called, Wing Fat Restaurant (issit?). Hahaha, so we had a huge meal! And I mean, seriously. I had ham & eggs, some porridge, some egg tarts and some noodles.











After breakfast, we took a bus to Ocean Park! OK, firstly, Ocean Park wasn't that great either, sure it was like aquatic-themed but there wasn't much we could do. There were mild roller-coaster rides and killer roller coaster rides -- and we took a roller-coaster ride in between mild and killerish, and that was mainly because, we thought it was mild, little did we know, some trees and some mini building was blocking the first part of the train ride, and hell, there was a steeper slope than all the slopes we saw, which was , according to our speculation, not so bad. So the one behind the trees, hidden, surprised us -- we had no time to back out so, oh what the heck. Hahahaha. I'll show you the pictures below later.







The Entrance of Ocean Park.
Told you I was taller than my elder brother!




OK, so we took the cable car to bring us to another part of the theme park.

YAY I LOOK LIKE SHIT! Hahahahaha.
And my mum looks like this is because she's scared.







My mom got all flustered when we playfully said we would shake the car. HAHAHA!





If I'm not wrong, that's the South China Sea. Is it not?











--
As you can see, (well, all you can see from here ), this is how the roller coaster ride, I previously described, looks like. But, there's some 'shed' or 'queueing counter' that's blocking the other part of the ride. So, it's misleading! Hahaha, but nevertheless, it was still fun and freaking thrilling! LOVED IT!





---
After the ride, we headed to Ocean Theatre to see some 'live' shows on dolphins and sea lions. The coldness was sporadic, and this time, the heat stayed for a very long time. As we sat as audience among a few thousand or hundred, perhaps, under the hot sun, we could feel the sun burning our skin. Super bloody hot. Furthermore, I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans in dark colours. So yeah, I didn't enjoy the show. LOL.

One of the reasons why I didn't blog for a week about my Hong Kong trip was because I couldn't find the USB cable for my digital camera, which had excellent photos of the dolphins (super clear photos) and many other photos like the ones I took on the plane, during flight, taxi or take-off, whatever. I guess once I do find the USB cable, I'll put those photos in another post. And, don't look down on me for taking horrid photos and still have the 'face' to put it up here, hahaha, if that's what you're thinking and if that's what I think you're thinking, but I have some really good ones that I just don't want or don't wish to publish them here for fear of you guys stealing them and taking credit for it. So pucker up! =)




OK, so we then went to see some fishes and sea urchins.


All of these fishes were mutha-effing huge! Plus look at those sting rays, so delicious!





Seahorse!

Seadragon. LOL. No kidding, it's called the Weedy Seadragon, and its scientific name is Phyllopteryx taeniolatus.




After that, we played some carnival games. And I played this Bull-eye game! Hahaha, I held a plastic gun which had 12 rounds of plastic rubber springy-type bullets. And yes, I won a prize! =)
Even my prize is mocking you. Hahahah. OK, lame...

I won two!
We had lunch after the games. Horrid food.


I was trying to figure out where we could go next in Ocean Park, but after a look at all the boring kiddy rides and one major-killer ride (The Dragon), I thought, nah, let's go home instead.

Cute right!?


I gotta say, my younger brother will definitely look handsome when he's over puberty. Hahaha, I swear.
After lunch, we went to see jellyfishes and some pandas.



Our mom didn't want to take the cable car again, so we all had no choice but to take a train back to where we came from (the entrance of Ocean Park).








We saw the panda shitting. =)


After the pandas, it was goodbye to Ocean Park.
Then it started snowing (?).

The admission ticket.
-----------------------
After Ocean Park, we went to Kowloon to shop for the rest of the night.

Tsim Sha Tshui (above) and Temple Street Night Market (below)


Ladies Market (below)


Ajisen restaurant amidst the other boring shops. We decided to try Japanese food in HK. LOL (?).

I don't know, sometimes I get really faint and light-headed, with a huge headache (or a migraine?) when I'm in crowded areas, I guess the lights also contributed to that. Agoraphobia is it? Not that I am afraid of being in crowded places, it's just that being in crowded places makes me feel sick. And I don't mind the crowd at all, but I do mind the sickness. Hahaha. I mentioned it was sporadic, which was why, I guess it's maybe the food and not the lights and crowd, after eating, I felt totally fine.
They've been serving us tea since we arrived at Hong Kong. What's their deal anyway?
Oh yea, carbonated Grape juice.
Gyoza (also known as some fried dumplings).
--

After eating, it was just mainly walking around shops. I didn't buy much stuffs. After our 'shopping', we took a train back to our hotel.
Hahaha okay so, there's this route, from the Wan Chai station exit to our hotel, and along this route there are numerous pubs, clubs and bars (whatever you call it). So, lots of angmors would come to this place (we would always see them everyday after our long-day-out) and yeah, my point is, it's nice to know you're not the only foreigner there (not that they think we are a foreigner either but whatever). Hahaha, also there were prostitutes and whatnots there too. A major turn-off was that we saw a prostitute -- a fat one, in skimpy clothes. Nuts or what?! Nice experience, though. Hahahaha.

Part Four will definitely be coming up shortly! Bye!
