Maybe I shall take back my words on my previous post. Long weekend is good when you got things to do. I'm super duper bored at home that I've decided to blog another post about Jazz by the beach that I went a few weeks ago.

Jazz by the beach, an event held by Sentosa over at the Cool Deck. Different Jazz performer will perform there on different weekend. Hui Jia was the one who introduce us to this event! The week that she went with Zhen Yao got super nice Jazz band. But sad to say, on the week that we went only a few were good.

I met up with Gen to have dinner at Marche before meeting other as she was having craved. Both us just ordered a little food and shared knowing that we would eat more food when we head to Sentosa to hear the Jazz.

Met up together with the rest and took the Sentosa Express over to the Beach station then transfer to the tram to the Cool Deck. There are lots of people on Sentosa island that night, I think alot people are heading towards Cool Deck to listen to the Jazz. When we got there the good singer has finish singing. ):

All of us stayed till the whole event ended. Everyone got so high at the end of the event (especially the ang moh) they keep dancing and dancing in front of the stage. Haha. Got on to the bus and headed back to Harbourfront to get our transport home.

Anyone got part-time job? Intro me!!

Long weekend, stay forever!

I'm here to post already! There are lots of stuffs for me to post this week. Haha. It's suppose to be separated into many different post but I shall do it all in one post. Save time and space.

Last Sunday was Si Ying's mum birthday celebration. Si Ying wanted to cook something for her mum on that day but it end up her mum didnt wanted her to cook. So I went together with her to get food for dinner while Drusilla and Jia Long went to get cake for her mum. Blogging about this makes me feel like eating stingray so much now! Si Ying's brother went to get another cake for his mum too, so Si Ying's mum got 2 cakes for her birthday this year.

Friday is always love of the week because the next day is the long awaited weekend. My Friday night is well spent together with NYPCO peeps. Theme of that night was Black and Gray. Waited for 笨笨in school for her lesson to end and head over to Raffles City to meet the rest for dinner at Shokudo. Both of us were a little late because when we reached there, they already started eat. The both of us chiong-ed to get our food, food is really nice over there as I love Japanese food. And it would be a little expensive if you wanna go fer a budget dinner.

Jap pasta.

Super yummy green tea with red bean.

I think Han Xing Er is really too bored at work that she went to edit photos and print it out for everyone one of us. She even wrote a simple message and end it off with her signature. It's a different message for everyone. Haha. She wants everyone of us to keep it in our wallet and use it as a 户身符.


This is one of the 户身符.

Creator of all the 户身符.

Saturday was spent together with Mi Yan, Gen and Kenny. Met around evening time and had our dinner settle at a small restaurant and went to sing K from 7pm. Sang all the way till 10pm and headed down to Kenny's house for overnight mahjong. It is kind of crazy to have overnight mahjong during studying period but good thing that all of us still catch a little of sleep after mahjong-ing.


Collage grabbed from Gen's blog.

My lovely Sunday was well spent together with Dearest. After I got home after Kenny's place, I did a wash up and Dearest came over to pick me up. Had lunch and slacked all the way till it is time to go home. Had a short sms conversation together with Si Ying and she promise me that we would go and run every Monday. Wahoo! Skinny I shall be!(but not up to peipei's extend. Haha.)

It's dinner meet up together with Girlfriends on Wednesday to celebrate Pei Wen's birthday. I'm so looking forward to it. (:

I finally got one free day at home and I can use the time to upload photos into my blog and blog about it. Not all the photos are being post here because I'm kinda lazy and i suppose that they are all in sequence. Haha.

All of us got to the airport at around 5plus in the morning and everyone eyes is still sleepy. Haha. Got everything checked in and went for breakfast before boarding the plane. 3 hours of flight and there we reached Hong Kong. Unloaded our luggage over at the hotel and made our way over to the Ocean Park.

When we reached the Ocean Park it was already 2plus and Ocean Park close at 6pm so time was very limited. But lucky for us we played almost all the exciting games! Everyone was supposed to meet at the exit at 6pm but due to the super heavy rain everything was bring delayed.


Towards Ocean Park.

Poncho Gang. The poncho selling at the Ocean Park is HKD25 but if you buy it at the supermarket it's only HKD5. So much difference!!

We still got wet after wear the poncho.

Day 2, woke up super early in the morning to prepare for the Disneyland performance! And because we are performing at the Disneyland we gain ourselves free tickets to go into Disneyland after going back to the hotel to unload our instruments. Going into Disneyland is really going into a world of dream. It's a place where you would never want to come out from.


Cello & Bass section.

If only I can buy them home! They cost HKD150 each.

After Disneyland we took MTR back to our hotel and they have this special MTR just to bring you to Disneyland and the whole train is super made just for Disneyland.

It was all shopping during our free time at Hong Kong. We head to 庙街, 女人街and different shopping centre to shop. So we didnt took much photos during shopping. Haha. But we went to this 甜品shop for 甜品after shopping at 庙街for 2 nights. As 庙街is quite near to our hotel and the 甜品they sell is quite cheap.

Austin Road, where our hotel is located.

Mi Yan also bought us to the Avenue of Stars to watch the Symphony of Lights. Avenue of Stars is a place where different stars would put their hand print on to this square and the square would be place on the floor. What I read from the board, only stars that are famous enough would be able to leave their hand prints.


Symphony of Lights.

Hand prints by Jacky Cheung 张学友.

They also have very cute pushcart to sell food and help tourist taking photo.





We also went to attend the performing class at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts it's like our Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts over there. Their performing class room can be bigger and nicer compared to our CO room.

When our trip is near to the end, we wanted to go over to Hong Kong island to shop and also visit their place of interest. Mi Yan den suggested taking the ferry over as it is much cheaper and we also get a chance to take a look at the CBD over at Hong Kong island.

We had our second performance over at the Hong Kong Culture Centre 香港文化中心. It's like our Singapore Conference Hall SCH over here. We shared the same stage as the HKCO on the day of performance. The closing ceremony of the Hong Kong International Chinese Orchestra Music Festival is also being held there.

After the whole closing ceremony has ended, there's also a 庆功宴held at some i-dont-know restaurant. The whole 庆功宴on started at 12midnight, imagine us eating at that time and what time is it when we finish the whole meal.


Ah Gen and Mi Yan @ 庆功宴.

Everyone went over to 庙街to do some last minute shopping after the 庆功宴. It was really last minute as almost all the shop is closed already. But all of us still manage to buy things we want.

Headed over to the airport the next day afternoon, board the plane at 4plus and reached Singapore at 8plus.


Airport fun!

She's so cute right? If only i can bring her home.
