At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

i'm back.
hong kong is very similar to singapore, so there was nothing new or extraordinary to brag about coming upon. i hate the layout of the shops in hong kong though.
like singapore, hongkong is very closely connected by a series of rails.therefore, it was relatively simple to get around, even for a first-timer. i spent a couple of days roaming around hong kong island alone. free and easy. sometimes i met up with my cousin who really knew how to find great places to shop.than again. he had the advantage cause he has hongkongese (hong kong geese) friends.staying together with the group consisting 3 aunties, my grandma, my uncle, a maid and my dad would really have killed my mood for anything. lets just say.. in a dinner, we would eat for 45 minutes, and they would talk for another 1 hr 20 mins after eating.my cousin had foresight, and he skipped all the dinners except the important wedding dinner, which was also the cause of the visit.
had a great shopping haul. 6 shirts (3 polos and 3 normal shirts). one pair of bermudas. 2 jackets (one hoodie and one liverpool one!),a watch.and some body shop stuff for my mom and other what not that i bought for people in singapore.
i spent at least 3000 hongkong dollars. thats at least 600 singapore dollars. i never felt so poor and so rich at the same time in my life.
i don't really like hongkong. theres a foul smell to the air, and there is an extremely massively bad lack of teenage (14-18) girls around anywhere,so the mtr rides, tram rides and kcr rides were mostly boring.i did spot this damn pretty girl at the wedding dinner.probably about 20.super pretty face and has the damn cold type of look.at the reception, i was only a sit away from her.i glanced quite a few times, i could've sworn she looked back at least twice.mere coincidence.she had a boyfriend.meh.she deserves one.the only other highlight of that sort was when the flight attendant at my cabin on the return trip bore an uncanny resemblance to a girl i know.the mannerisms were almost exactly the same.it was interesting to observe. and when i reached singapore, the person doing the announcements said "welcome to singapore" with the accent similar to that of sao feng in pirates.the mere fact that that kind of small event was notable really speaks loads for hongkong.
i hate the temporary hongkongese sim cards.according to reliable feedback, my messages were often unreceived.that made me anxious for nothing.
my father is blur.
this post has been long but to the point. but thats because i'm so furikin' tired.might elaborate more tommorow or something.meh.
nightey people.
