Happy New Year and 恭喜發財!!!

Hey all, how you all doing, it's been long overdue since my last blog, so this is gonna be a big one which will include all the stuff I did on holiday, and some of the stuff I have done since I got back, so yeah, I hope I don't bore everybody! Haha... (P.s. there's probably gonna be a LOAD of pics, which should keep you all entertained!)

So yeah, my Christmas break was great! Flew back to Hong Kong on Christmas day! But yeah it was fun, we flew economy plus this time, and wow, those seats are good. I mean, there is so much room, that I actually slept comfortably all flight! And this is rare as I never sleep when I'm flying!

So the next day, we went straight back to the airport, to depart for sunny Thailand! So yeah, spending Christmas in somewhere hot was a bit different! Especially spending Boxing Day on the beach!

It was a 5day tour of Thailand, 2days spent in Pattaya and 3days in Bangkok.

Since I didn't have my camera when I was in Thailand, I couldn't take many pics, so I just stole these pics from my cousin's Facebook! LOL

So here are the pics from Thailand:


Me boiling in Thailand!

The view on the beach.


The tattoo I got at one of those stalls on the beach.

Also, when we visited this place (which I have forgotten the name of, we got to watch monkey's perform funny things, we rode an elephant and I even got to shoot a 9mm hand gun at a shooting range! See pics below:


Riding an elephant!


Me with one of the monkeys that was performing.


Oooh... Look, I guess my shooting isn't that bad! Lol

Also, one other thing that I discovered I liked was...


Durian!!!! (And LOL at my auntie in the background! Haha)

And so, after Thailand, we came back to HK, and went to Macau and China.

The trip to China wasn't very interesting at all, so not many pics, only this group one which has an awesome view:


And here are some from Macau, (and I have learnt, whenever we go to Macau, all we ever do is stuff our faces! LOL can't believe how full I was when I went home!)

Another thing I did when I was in HK was go to the Hong Kong Tennis Classic, I saw some legendary players such as Michael Chang and Stefan Edberg, aswell as some of the current WTA stars such as Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki! :)


Michael Chang!


Maria Sharapova

Oh yeah, forgot to talk about my trip to Lan Kwai Fong! LOL I ridiculously drunk! LOL note to anyone, if you ever go LKF, try a Flaming Lamborghini! LOL I had two! On top of some other drinks, and got rat-arsed drunk! :)

Me drinking my Flaming Lamborghini!

Here is the cocktail recipe of a Flaming Lamborghini:

1 shot kahlua

1 shot Bailey's Irish Cream

1 shot Blue Curacao

1 shot sambuca

matches

Layer Sambuca over kahlua in narrow glass and pour a shot of baileys into one shot glass and blue curacao into another. Place straw into layered kahlua and sambuca and ignite sambuca. Then drink before straw melts and as last dregs of sambuca are being drunk pour in baileys and blue curaçao at the same time. These are to be drunk through the straws at the same time

Dangerous be careful fire and extremely high alcohol content are very dangerous! :)

So anyway, to wrap things up with this blog, I'll talk about some of the stuff I bought from HK :)
Bought this Adidas tee-shirt in the sale in the Adidas store in TST for about $150HKD. Bargain me thinks :) And it has some nice minor details to the shirt aswell. Please see below :)




Next I bought an A Bathing Ape tee from the BAPE store in Central for about $780HKD, you guys may think I'm crazy for paying so much for a tee-shirt, however after looking at the BAPE store in London, I got my tee relatively cheaply as the BAPE tees in London cost about £95-£120!!! Plus mines an exclusive shirt!



I also bought a hoodie, it's a crossover between Chocoolate which is a HK brand I think and A Bathing Ape, the hoodie cost $599HKD (which is really cheap as hoodie by A Bathing Ape alone costs somewhere along the lines of $2500HKD-$3500HKD!), and is only available to VIPs of Chocoolate, so lucky one of my cousins is a VIP!


Also got two set of trainers, firstly I got a set of Converse high tops, in white leather for about $250HKD and a set of Nike Air Max 90 for $699HKD, which seemed cheap for me as they sell for around £99-£110 in England! Not really sure how much the Converse will cost in England, but it was only $250HKD, so I didn't think I could go wrong! LOL


Glasses is another must when I go HK, so this time I bought a nice set of Porsche Design glasses :) Got these at bargain price of $1700HKD, because usually in England, a set of Porsche Design frames cost about £250-£300, and to get some decent lenses (ultra thin, non-reflective etc) would cost around £80-£100, so yeah, you do the math. LOL



And lastly, as I didn't have a camera when I was in Thailand (because my old one was starting to get a little bad at focusing, I decided to buy one when I was in HK!) I was gonna buy the latest Sony TX1 camera, however, all my cousins said don't buy Sony, as they used to all buy Sony, and they had to buy cameras every year as their camera would break very easily. Also, the Sony TX1 camera is touch screen, so therefore, if the touch screen mechanism was screwed, then I'd obviously need a new one! LOL So in the end, I decided to go with something I know, therefore I bought the Casio Exilim EX-S12. And also that decision also saved me money! :) As the Sony TX1 would have cost me $2999HKD, but the Casio only cost me $2200HKD :) Plus I got an 8GB memory card for free!




OK I'm done for now, will try to blog more frequently!

Oh yeah, one more time Happy New Year! And 恭喜發財!!!

Will post my New Years Resolutions and other things next time I blog :)

So until next time...
