Note from Budapest, Hungary...

so today is the 5th day i'm in EU - and last day i'm in Hungary.... totally out of the internet world as:

  1. all meeting Friday - from 7am to 6pm - and slept TWELVE hrs once i returned to the hotel
  2. Sight seeing ALL DAY yesterday (Nov. 26) - from 10am to 6pm (and slept again VERY EARLY) hahahhaa....
  3. Their wireless connection in the hotel somehow doesn't work w/ my notebook @_@''

a few notes from last few days before my wireless pre-paid card ran out:

In Romania:

  1. watched Elizabethtown... gosh, i don't think i'll ever watch this if i'm in HK (i don't think it can make it to the big screen in HK?!) the guy is cute though... (i think he's the guy from Lord of the Rings - the geniue?) *hahaha.. i think he kinda look like the cute version of jer san* hahahahhahaa... and i guess i shouldn't complain too much about the movie - as i ain't the one who's paying the ticket! and always nice to have someone to watch movie with :P
  2. Drink SOO much in the last few days (Romanian / Hungarian - wine ALL THE TIME!)
  3. eating 2 meals a day (too lazy to eat!?) maybe it's also the jet lag still?
  4. went to bed terribly early (like 6/7ish?!) and got up around 7 :P

In Hungary:

  1. Budapest is a beautiful city (but getting around - language for example, maybe not be the easiest)
  2. understood a bit why ppl take off from work so early - it's SOOO Dark that 16:00 feels like 20:00!!!
  3. how come they don't have internet connection in the room (for free?) getting online is soooo expensive - USD20 for 100 min! (but who cares?! it's not on my acct!) hahahaha
  4. Travel alone is terrible - miss Bucharest TERRIBLY (okay, maybe not the place itself...)

so heading to Brussels, netherlands (town called Dorecht or sth)?! then UK... hmm... will be a lot of hard works (and MORE MEETINGS) in the coming wk - in some sense can't wait to go home lei..... (and maybe confirmation for someone visiting HK during x'mas time?!)

oh i doubt it... but i guess i shouldn't think too much for now~~

hopefully i can get back on the internet world easier when i go to the Western part of EU....

Food Review - Dave's Treat of Xinjiang Fusion Dinner~~

OH i was soooooo "satisfied" from last nite dinner~~~ hahahaha... Finally get together with Mr. Busy and had Xinjiang food together - i haven't have Xinjiang food for a LOOOONNNNGGGG time... I especially like the Strong taste (w/ different herbes) - kinda like the Indian cusine's attraction to me... (well, the kind that i'm really fond on - but can only have one it once in a while if you know what i mean!!) anyway, the last time I had Xinjian food was probably w/ Casey!? anyhow, have a look of what we had last nite:




  1. The first one is some "nan" with eggplant's paste... not my personal favorite.. for some reason the paste taste kinda sweet? i like chickpeas paste from Lebananese dishes more :P
  2. Second one is Ding Ding stir fry - actually it's stir fry of "cube" shape noodles in xinjiang favor with a mix of veggies & meat - always LOVE that sweet & sour, not too spicy (just a touch) taste... very nice~
  3. Tofu + Fish soap - Mr. Busy is very fond on seafood (remember i OVERRIDE his decision of seafood buffet??) hahahahha.. so we ordered some seafood some how XD
  4. "BBQ" Chicken - there's Lamb also (not in pict) - LOVE that spice they put while BBQ-ing it.. YUMMMMMYYYYYY
  5. last one - i don' tremember what exactly it's called - just a roll of chicken/lamb with a chiense dim sum wrapping (like those cha siu so skin)... hmm.. interesting try.. :P

ONLY complains is that the a/c there is VERY strong - most dishes cool down too quickly! next time when i go again i'll order dishes by dishes, not in one slot :P

AND after such a BIG meal (i was already so full) we went to Outback for CHEESECAKE! (haha, always room for DESSERT) and oh my gosh, i haven't have ANY cheesecake after my HORRIBLE experience in the Cheesecake factory last time in Chicago (back in Aug)... but this one is SUPER!




Suddenly LeAnn Rime's "how do i live w/o you" comes to my mind - don't get me wrong, i was just thinking: How do i live with GOOD food w/o my all time eating buddy Mr. Busy???? :D

hahahahahahahahhahahahhahahaa

Re: Oops + Lotto

my dear friend compare his chance of buying me a goodie w/ the LOTTO/JACKPOT - but do you REALLY think i need to think twice - if i REALLY have a choice between your offer & THE LOTTO/JACKPLOT?!

WAKAKKAKAKAKAKAKA...

some of my friends can really be so "cute" some time XDDDDD

hahahaaaaa..

talk about Jackpot, i was just talking to wittybb earlier... i'm not THAT greedy - just a lotto of HKD10,000,000 (US$12m) is "enough" for me... here's the distribution:

  • 50% will be used for estate investment (my current one - save it as a house for mom - so she can go back whenever she wanted), then will get another 2 more modern one - 1 for me (and mom can stay over if she wants), and the other one for rental (as part of future income)...
  • 30% will be used to get my master degree (ha, not in HK of coures, shall be enough for US, maybe?)
  • 10% for mom (hahaha.. i hope she won't be mad about that - ONLY 10%)
  • 5% for my baby sis Ceci & Andy
  • 3% for charity (such as Po Leung Kuk in HK)
  • 2% - spending / saving :D

hohohohohohohohoh~~

I need to wake up from this daydreams and come back to work hard.. hahahahaa

    well, i remember the first x'mas i went "home" (boise) they got me a birthday cake afterward.... yet it was probably not the best x'mas ever...

  6. 21st - ha, this one was unforgettable, connie, james, geoff, kyle & other Waldron's ground floor gangs brought me to ALMOST EVERY BAR near campus!! and GOT SO DRUNK that i've to spent a nite at connie's Hawkin's place afterward (and got kicked out from boiler's room or sth!) hahaha!!!!!

In the coming week...

  • Family dinner w/ goh's family tmr (11/15)
  • Purdue's dinner on Thurs (okay, this has nothing to do w/ my birthday but it happened w/in +/- 1 wk so i'll put here anyway! hahaha)
  • Dave's treat on Friday at Pasha - suppose to be seafood buffet last Thursday but Mr. Busy couldn't squeeze in the time, so, i "override" his seafood buffet decision and go to Xiangian food instead! yeah~~

  • Big Crab dinner @ Hugo's (as from last yr's experience, shall have one "jointed" celebration w/ william...)... always wonder how Hilman is doing.. as all 3 of us have birthday w/in a wk!
  • BBQ w/ Man Cher (alright, this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO W/ my birthday... but ha, just another update - and hey, maybe my "HOPE" will be there >=>

I guess next birthday i'll remember what i did this yr (ha, if my blog is still active~~) :P

Well overall i don't really feel like it's my b-day today... but it's alright, i mean, got mixed feelings... "surprised" not to recieve some greetings (like genny's, always there for the last few yrs but not this yr?! hm....).... and totally surprised for some calls (like arthur's!!) anyhow... for some reason one thing kept popping out of my head today - "Tmr has to go back to work.. oh my gosh, it'll be so much stuffs waiting on the desk..."... don't even dare to chk work's email off station today...

X_X ain't sure if it's a good sign or not.. maybe i felt guilty to take a day off today!? but oh well, what the heck, tmr is another day... ;D at least i really got some REST this birthday - and so grateful to have a chance to have dinner w/ John & Gerry: 1st is that it's totally last min deal, 2nd is that - ain't sure if Gerry will still be in HK next yr for my birthday.. think she might be married and not in HK....

grateful to have buddies to hang out with, have several birthday wishes calls & ecards...

Birthday wishes... (wait, i guess i don't spse to say it loud here or it won't come true!) hahahaha... never mind then :P

tmr is another day (work)!
