Am seated in one of the rooms in this newly established 'integrated resort'. Themed with a taste of Venice, river canals and singing Venetian boatmen, this hotel is more than a casino.
As my liking for gambling overcomes all odds, I didn't really get a chance to spend time at the gaming tables due to time constraints with the wedding photo shoot of Mun and Clara. My, it sure looked stressful and tiring doing those poses in public. Terrifying might be a better word used here.
Tomorrow I will be doing my first overseas drive ( other than in Malaysia).My duty is to ferry the team of 8 in an MPV meant for six. A challenge it'll be but I don't care cause my seat and space in the vehicle will not be compromised as I will be the pilot all day.
Well, I guess I haven't had the luxury to write on my HK trip as at the hotel, the darn internet didn't work and I had problems logging on to my office network. Let's hope nothing bad is happening to my colleagues at the fort. Anyway, its still not able to access the 'gateway'.
HK trip was a bit of a rush and time flew really quickly. Perhaps faster than a blink of an eye. We were treated by Sandy's cousins and friends to really delicious feasts. I guess there were times that I overate and suffered miserably afterwards.
Drinking is inevitable when I visit Sandy's cousins. As usual, that bunch of 'alcoholics' would stack the refrigerator with tons of beer. I have never seen such huge volumes of alcohol in any of the parties I have attended. This was massive. Consequence of such sinful activity? A toilet bowl with men hugging them whilst vomitting. An ugly scene that was captured on digital camera. Damn!
Carol and Samuel, the hosts of the 'deadly' steamboat dinner were such hospitable guests as always. The same goes for the rest of the cousins Cathy, Philip, Heidi, Wilson, Queenie and Ron. Love you guys. Enjoyed the company. Thanks to Heidi for the crabs too. Those roe were really bad for the cholestrol level but who cares when its delicious.
Not forgetting the company of Amy Leung and beau, Tony, for driving us around for photo shoots and food. What else to do but food in HK. Photos to follow when my food blog gets setup. We also got to meet up with Celia, Dymo and Sandy's goddaughter, Tari, and of course Connie too. ( she will be singing at our wedding)
Its a pity time was short in HK as I wasn't able to meet up with some other friends but coincidentally, we got to meet someone from Toronto. We managed to spend a couple of hours with Stephanie, eating desserts and some non-alcohol drinks ( at least for me).
A fruitful trip definitely but a longer stay would have been better. Who wouldn't want a longer vacation. :) human tend to be greedy ya? It was also a time to let cousins and friends know of the wedding. My, am happy to know many have already marked their calenders and we will be honoured with their presence next June. To date, an estimate of about twenty or so. Am looking forward to then.
Tracy, Peggy and Cecelia. Time was a little too short for meeting up as much time was spent on shopping wedding stuff and photo shoot. Will surely look forward to meeting up next time. Likely in Singapore ya?
Once again, Sandy and I would like to thank the help rendered to our buddies Mun and Clara and the hospitality everyone of you have shown us all. Its much appreciated. For now, I will have to turn in early as the next day's schedule is hectic again. Sometimes I wonder if I am here to work. Haha. But surely, to accompany a buddy is always a nice thing to do and am enjoying every minute of laughter with Mun but on the other hand, a pity Lance and Monica isn't here if not it would have been great fun!
Lookout for photos on Facebook. :) Oh, I was asked by someone in HK about my personal goals. One unmentioned goal is to bring my younger siblings and my parents for a trip to HK and Macau ( am a little confused with the spelling as some actually spell it Macao).
