REPORTING TO YOU LIVE FROM HONGKONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


From a Dell laptop to be exact. The keys on this stupid keyboard are so flat its making typing impossble for me what with my long fingernails/claws and I keep touching the mouse by accident which is also completely flat(yes i know Thomas L friedman has metaphorically referred to the world as "flat" but can we not take things too literally you stupid laptop people?!) and my words and sentences are either colliding into each other or haphazardly strewn all over the page. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH%^%$^$#^%#^#%(yes that was intentional and not oneof this laptop's innumerable vagaries)

And you must be wondering where i got a laptop from: well i don't have one yet. I'mn using the laptops at the hotel clubhouse-at least that's what they call it. Apparently my mum and I are exclusive guests here and we're entitled to extra facilities like erm massages, an exclusive high-tea buffet(for like...10 people?okay i grazed the flat mouse again and the "b" flew to the top of this page and made hongkong  bongkong) , free internet services and omg I just spotted an ENTIRE DVD CABINET RIGHT NEXT TO ME AHHHHH.I don't know how my mum got this deal but whatever. My name for today is Blair Waldorf and i'm a sixteen year old hot bitch, nice to meet you. 
 

so...my observations so far:


1.  I noticed that most of the women here wear boots!!!Even the ah-soh types with three children haha.

2. The buildings here are hideous: clearly being an architect isn't a very respected profession here haha. I woke up this morning, looked outside the window and my first thought was:has the apocalypse taken place already?

3. The bellboy is quite cute.

4. The city only comes alive at night but it can get quite disorienting what with the neon signs, the hordes of people and misplaced traffic lights. And travelling around HK is equivalent to walking on a treadmill: everywhere and everyone looks the same to me.  Or like i'm in some kind of mysterious time warp where i'm being pulled back and forth between the past and the present simultaneously: I would turn a corner and go  wasn't i here just now when the "just now" referred to  is like 5060797km away. Or maybe i just have a very poor sense of direction.

5. I LOVE THE WEATHER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!Its like being in an air-conditioned room all day long.Maybe if we had this sort of weather at home it would motivate people to stop wearing flip-flops, shorts and...crocs.

6. The transport system is very advanced and smilar to Singapore's so getting around here is quite a breeze(which also comes from the air ducts haha). Definitely a plus point.

7. They students here have got very cool uniforms! Very preppy chic what with the v-neck uniforms, ties, checkered skirts and long socks. They must loathe wearing their uniforms and are also blithely unaware of the fact that a few thousand miles away in a far-flung corner of south-east asia, some uniforms come in pisai colours thus transforming their owners into swamp things while others make their owners look like nurses/hospital staff.

8. The people here can get very rude(i'm not generalising, just basing my observations on the people i've met so far)..and not so at the same time. They push, they shove, they step on your foot and they don't apologise but they all keep to the right of escalators. So propriety dictates that people observe escalator etiquette and not basic human laws?!?!so bewildering and schizo-ish.


9. Reading the names on the mrt map is like reading off the registry of an old folks home what with names like Tsim Sha Tsui, Sha Shim Poh and Mong Kok. Very endearing haha! I wonder what do people think of the names of our MRT stations. Maybe they find them endearing too and somewhere in the world right now, there is a pair of twins called "boon keng" and "potong pasir" like what happened with posh spice and Brooklyn.

10. The reader isn't rated here. DAMN and my mum dosen't want to watch!Speaking of movies I also watched Slumdog on the plane and it was just so-so, definitely not worth the hype. The cinematography and child actors were great but it got a little cheesey at parts. And can someone please tell me why this is the "FEEL-GOOD MOVIE OF THE YEAR"????What's so feel-good about life in the slums where children are being exploited and women are treated like dirt?!?!And is it just me or does Latika look disturbingly like Eva Langoria from certain angles.



I'm going to scoot right now.!

Vicki: You choose the plays la, i've lost track! I'll contact you again when i'm back to confirm.

liz: I know! I've taken a sudden interest in chinese arthouse movies!!!!I'm definitely going to hunt for more when i'm back. I didn't know that Leslie is a singer as well until i saw a poster here! Can you imagine, people are still crazy about him in hk now you know:they're going to screen his concert which took place many donkey years ago at some theatre and a greatest hits album has just been released!Madness. And he studied in england so maybe he had a slight english accent!Like Maggie!Omg so hot. Blueberry sucked through and through la; I can relate to chungking express more-maybe because i talk to inanimate objects very often myself hahaha. And of course, my dream girl is someone like Faye wong's character-very carefree and eccentric.Oh yes i walk around my room in white briefs too haha!Are you still coming back in june?
