[Yay for Me-days!!]
Today I had the PERFECT sunday afternoon. I definitely need to do more of these me-days. *sighs*
First I did a bit of shopping after church where Rev. Farley Moore preached a really good sermon about dreams and how they can be related to God's calling for you. Strange I guess if you're not a Christian but I thought it was quite interesting! Anyway back to my little blurb about shopping!! I've been pretty good so far about not spending too much money before the sales come along but I think the time has finally arrived for me to get a little crazy. =P Honestly...the sales were practically all lined up for me. I walked into Esprit intending only to browse and see what catches my eye (and later will go back to buy!) and found the most adorable sweater for 70% off. It seemed almost too good to be true! =D And at another favorite store, the capris I've been eyeing for a while were 60% off. To round off the most perfect afternoon, I decided to hit up a quaint little cafe that I pass by every Sunday for some cappuccino and a slice of tiramisu. Yum yum! =) Must remember to do that again before I leave HK.
Sunday night, the HK branch of the Lai clan gathered together for some tasty Chinese food in Ma On Shan. I finally got my "siu ow" (roasted goose) which was not as good as I thought it would be. It's probably a good thing too since each "siu ow" accounts for a hefty 2000 calories! Had some other interesting Chinese "delicacies" like ostrich meat (kind of tasted like beef) and a special soup whose literal translation is "Buddha jump over the wall". The story behind that was a monk smelt some really nice smelling meat soup cooking on the other side of the wall and jumped over to drink it even though he was not allowed to eat meat. Not sure what happened to him afterwards but I'm guess he was a monk no more.
Later that night I headed over to my Popo's to see my baby cousin before he and my aunt goes back to Shenzhen. What a cutie patooie he is with his chubby little cheeks and drool all over his chin!! =P He wasn't a bit shy either and took a liking to me right away and consequently got his drool all over me. =P Just look at him!! =)

Aww you got your goosey. I had it here too and it was pretty good. Just a little cold =(.
Hehe the Lai Clan.
I was scared that you somehow got a baby! A little worried there =P But you look so cute together!

Dreams eh? I have dreams all the time, but I'm not religious so anyway...
Wow, all those deals there, it even makes me want to go shopping! lol
The cafe sounds soo out of place.. maybe I don't know that part of HK that well, but this is what I see: A busy street bustling with pedestrians.. and then you, sitting peacefully at this small cafe, quietly sipping your cappuccino and nibbling on your tiramisu. Very relaxing =)
omg.. CALORIES! lol, i don't have any context for that, but it sounds yummy nevertheless. I wonder what ostrich tastes like.. but then i think about the poor (endangered?) ostriches in the other picture you have. I'll take your word on it tasting like beef.
I read Phong's post.. haha, yeah, it'd be freaky if it was your child, but I'm so used to seeing my gf holding baby cousins all the time in the pics of her at HK.. always so many cute chubby kids over there. =)
