Ru Jih ate it anyway (or so I’m told)

Aiyor! Enoch discovers Kenny Sia and has a renewed appreciation for Malaysians now lah.
It looks like Citygate Outlets is must-see destination.
Citygate Outlets is a shopping centre at Tung Chung, on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island. Tung Chung is, in a relative sense, far flung from the heart of Hong Kong, right next to the airport, but as a “new town”, it has all the attractions of Hong Kong (food, shopping, what else?) while being really clean and neatly designed. I remember it fondly as the place where I was first acquainted with the diabetes-inducing phenomenon known as Aji Ichiban (although of course, there are other stores).
We went to the shopping centre in question last year, but quite a bit of it was still under construction, and although I recall seeing designer fashion there, the prices then didn’t quite appeal to me. But maybe it’s due to the subconscious impact of seeing markedly large Hong Kong dollar amounts (1 AUD is roughly 7 HKD); somehow, I convince myself a nice t-shirt is not worth HKD$100, but when I get home, I realise I can’t get anything nice for less than $20. Anyway, if the article is right, it’s definitely worth another visit - if only to get out of the hustle and bustle of the CBD and Kowloon.
And if the thought of going to an “outlet mall” brings up images of DFO in Homebush, then you’re mistaken - it’s as much a proper shopping centre as any other.
How to get there: Exit C from Tung Chung MTR Station

We’ve had this up for some time, but here is the entry that Daniel, Ru Jih and I made last semester for the Filmsoc competition, entitled Hello. Watch it! You will never feel safe walking through main campus ever again!

If I appear sad when I’m with you, it’s because I would be even sadder without you.
If I appear depressed when I’m with you, it’s because I would be even more depressed without you.
If I appear uncaring when I’m with you, it’s because my mind is focused on battling the forces that threaten to keep us apart.
If I make it through this storm, it’s because I love you. <3

My self-imposed limit of checking Facebook at most once a day is failing miserably. Perhaps I’ll settle for twice a day.
So what distractions do I have online now… let’s see… Facebook, MSN, Wikipedia, Gmail, my extensive list of RSS feeds including Slashdot, my blog…
=_+

Just as my stash of Aji Ichiban that I bought in Melbourne was just about gone…
Yes, more! Sarah was kind enough to bring some back from HK for me… thank you so much~!
This time, I’m trying to make it last a little longer. Honestly, this stuff can’t be healthy at all >.<

I’m back in Sydney now - I’ll do a write up of what I think of Melbourne and the details of what we did with some photos of the spoils soon, but I’ll just write what we did today just so I won’t forget it.
We didn’t have a fire alarm go off this morning, but we did have a prank phone call to wake us up. Breakfast was at a cafe next to the Victoria Markets, and we had a look at the markets following that - we got ourselves a couple of blocks of cheese… and saw some prodigious confectionery-making. We then proceeded to the Melbourne Museum (again) to see what we missed yesterday. This was followed by lunch at Chinatown (again) - we were going to go to the Greek restaurants on Lonsdale Street but they were rather pricey. Shopping took up the rest of the afternoon - AJI ICHIBAN (^_^), Myer (which, like the rest of Melbourne, ran out of scarves), the Basement, this strange little antique shop, and a fancy stationery shop. Frantic dashes between Southern Cross station and the hotel ensued, the consequence of some slight miscommunication, and then the flight home was uneventful bar my humiliating defeat in Scategories.
