Christmas comes early (Day 72)

Day 72 (24/12) -- Dim Sum lunch with colleagues at Lei Garden at IFC


Presents from family and friends under my white "Christmas tree": presents brought over by Wen, all the way from Singapore! Oh, and there's a pressie from Soks from Japan too... :-)

Christmas gift (Day 71)

Day 71 (23/12) -- Ping got herself a Christmas gift. No, not the bag, that's a free gift. It's a whole year's worth of gym membership at any (non-premium Fitness First) club + 3 personal training sessions. Let's see whether the gift gets used much...

Anyway, there's a bet on: if Ping makes it to the gym more than 8 times a month, for 3 months, the personal training cost is entirely waived.

New iphone app: Photo Funia (Day 70)

Day 70 (23/12) -- Interesting app, right? :-)

That's the laksa and teh-peng from yesterday's picture, in case it isn't obvious enough... haha...

And today is Ping's 70th day in HK... and it is also Dong Zhi... Called back to greet parents and Toon Ma said fishballs can substitute tang yuan... that's where Ping and Wen both get their wacky genes from... haha...

Laksa and Teh-peng (Day 69)

Day 69 (22/12) -- Found a bit of Singapore right in IFC!

Breakfast and lunch in the bin: it dawned upon Ping today that winter makes one exceptionally hungry...

Visitors Batch 2: Kah Hwee and Leeli (Days 65 to 68)

Day 65 (17/12) -- Leeli's birthday treat, 10 days late... at a Brit pub... Soks came along too, and took a pretty nice shot of the 4 of us, but I don't have that picture...

Day 66 (18/12) -- Dim Sum lunch at Majestic Seafood

Yuen Long jaunt
Rewarding ourselves at Shamrock, Jordan... the highlights of the meal: roast goose and braised tofu

Day 67 (19/12) -- Macau day trip

At the ruins of St Paul
Leeli at the Venetian

Kah Hwee, the desert queen

Day 68 (20/12) -- We actually back-tracked just to catch a glimpse of this "funeral for the financial sector", a rather creative protest by investors affected by the financial crisis. We went to Maxim's Palace at City Hall after this.

My visitors cleaned up my house before they left! Friends don't get much better than this! :-)

More good food, compliments of the company (Day 64)

Day 64 (16/12) -- The monthly good food day is here again... this time, it is a 2++hour meal at the French Window... atas place with the "usual" seaview...

Main Course of M9 Wagyu Beef Cheek:

And the day was rounded off with drinks and super delicious mini-burgers at the company's Christmas party, at H2:

Oh, and did I mention that Batch 2 of visitors are here already? :-)

Catch-up with Carol (Day 63)

Day 63 (15/12) -- It was a good time of catch-up with an ex-colleague, over delicious roast goose and frog legs and sweet sour pork, at Yung Kee... cool! :-)

Not cheap, but good stuff...
