Rain rain go away, come again another day



Rainy long weekend - I have a feeling its going to be a weekend wasted.

Woke up this morning by my mother's voice, her continuous knocking on my door at 10am in the morning is not my ideal start for a Saturday. Nevertheless, I got up and opened the door for her - she came by my house just to tell me she bought ice cream & dropped off some letters. I guess ice cream is worth the wake, right?!

After my mum left, (mind you, she only stayed for 5minutes, thanks mum) I crawled back into bed... Ahhh, my warm, comfy bed <3 Called up the boyfriend. Phone bummed with him until he had to go off to work and I fell back asleep until 3pm.

A BBQ was suppose to happen today, but it got postponed because of the crappy weather. Great pick for the day Vin! Just kidding.

I don't like wet weather days, it makes me feel down. I woke up this morning feeling like I woke up on the wrong side of bed, the weather affect happened to me almost immediately. Now that I think about it, I pity my boyfriend for having to listening to my 2 hours of whining.

I've been listening to a lot of old Twins songs lately, it brings back a lot of memories. Twins grew with me during my high school years. I remembered back when I used to go Chinese school, every saturday, my two classmates Winnie & Shirley and I would just be sitting there, reading Yes! ( remember that mag? haha ) & talking about HK celebs and listening to Twins, SHE etc.

 Zhao Wei Yes! Magazine Cover [Hong Kong] (8 June 2001)
Who else remembers YES! ??

Anyways, Twins .. their songs are great! Their lyrics are amazing, it was them that turned my interest back to the HK music for a couple of years, Twins, Edison Chen, Justin Lo, Janice, Leo Ku, Joey, Eason , How great were they?! Now, its just back to a bunch of ( no offence ) Garbage!...

I miss Hong Kong, I miss the stinky tofu that you can only smell at the end of Lady's Market. I miss the bubble tea in HK. I miss the vibe, the atmosphere. I miss going back home every night with yummy food, drinking asian soup & I miss the fact that HK is so so so convenient! 
 
YUM!

My boyfriend thinks I am weird, I can stand the stinky tofu smell, but I can't stand Durian!.. Eww, Durian.

I also miss glass bottled coke. glass bottled warm vitasoy milk & $5HK Chilli Fishballs. & Fried chestnut only found at the little random stands.





But most of all, I miss home. I miss home cooking, I miss my uncles Tomoto Prawn. I miss my cousins Minced beef pasta, I miss eating shakeshake fries with my little cousin. I miss fighting over the last packet of Lotte Koala Bear. I miss going on the MTR with my auntie. I miss yumcha with the family every saturday arvo at TKW.

I MISS HONG KONG :(
