His Scent

Very sleepy… I didn’t actually sleep during the flight, was rather hooked with the book. Yeah, I’m reading the book MC lends me “Srarbucked”. It’s a very interesting book.

By the way breakfast at the airport was really bad. Shall I say sucks, MC? Was really longing for a sausage and fried egg breakfast but can’t find a restaurant serving that near the check-in counters. Ended up having some very horrible tasting chicken pie. And then guess what? I had sausage and omelette on the plane. Haha…


Anyways, I met this couple on the coach from airport to the hotel who said that I am very “brave”. Hmm… is it a big thing for girls to travel alone? Anyways, my answer was “but I can speak Chinese, plus I’ve got friends around in Hong Kong”.


My hotel is just behind The Peninsular, a very expensive hotel in Hong Kong, they have got Tiffany & Co. as the frontage store. My room is very small, expected of rooms in Hong Kong I'm sure.


Having said that, today was actually my free and easy day to do my own shopping until meeting with friends for dinner. I haven’t seen them for more than 3 or 4 years. Today’s shopping wasn’t so fruitful, only managed to get two tops. My friend suggested that I get my clothes in Shenzhen, in fact, he said get everything in Shenzhen. Uhm… nothing to buy in Hong Kong then? Oh, I came across some interesting looking junk food in Seven Eleven, will be getting some for MC and BIL. Will also get some local (actually more of Japanese or Korean, it’s a trend now over here) instant noodles from the supermarket for MC and BIL too.



I realized I got quite a few people who gave me the stare. Hmm… could it be my dressing? I was wearing my black pants, strappy black top with a small short sleeve brown little top. Surely I blend into the crowd, besides, some Japanese looking passer-by looked even more over-the-top with their dressing than me. Oh, could it be my colour contact lens. My hazel colour lens. Anyways, since I didn't really have lunch and since it was quite late, I opted for something light -Steam egg. I'll definitely not miss this everytime I come to Hong Kong, not that I come her very so often of course... But this particular one is not that great. A bit hard and not that tasty.
This bowl costed me HKD14 (about RM7). A bit expensive right...

We had Japanese dinner tonight. It’s very delicious and the trend for Japanese food over here is BBQs. Here they are…






Apparently everywhere will be quite fully booked on Friday nights. Our booking was only available for 8.45pm and if you walk into a restaurant on Friday, chances to get a table is extremely slim.

Okay. I better catch some sleep. I’ve just been briefed of my schedule, seems like quite full.

Oh oh… by the way there is no internet access, I mean FREE internet access in the room. Humph… luckily there will be access tomorrow at the business meeting place. So blog stories are one day delayed. No blogging on Monday.

Even though I'm so far away from MFG, I have a feeling all the time that he's just beside me because I swear that it was his usual perfume scent...
