Kyoichi ramen (巨一麵堂) Review

My friend said Kwan Gor owns this place so I wanted to try. Too bad he wasn't there, if he was I wouldn't be brave enough to ask for a picture haha.

There were no-one there except one customer when we were there, we went around 2ish I think?

Service, not bad but feels like the staffs were staring at us since we were the only ones there. Felt like they want to close or something.

I ordered the mixed noodle with Kyoichi special sauce and dried bonito ($79 hkd).

                                   

Soupless but well flavoured. It had pork, seaweed, green onion, onion and bonito. It came with a soup, not sure if I'm supposed to pour it in or just drink it. I just drank it.

We both had this onion after taste/ breath smell.

I don't know if I'll come back, maybe if he is there lol.

Heads up, extra service charge...

Dalloyau Review

My friend told me about this place so I decided to try it.

I ordered the black truffle chocolate cone ($50 hkd). It's considered pricey for ice cream in HK but I love trying new stuff.

I do taste the black truffle taste, it was interesting. I think it was dark chocolate so the truffle taste wasn't that strong to me. It had a good balance of both flavour.

The cone was crispy.

Service was ok but I felt like she was looking down at me, as if I can't pay or something. Maybe I look "young" and I dress crappy on trips. Don't judge me.

Don't think I will come again, there are other ice cream waiting for me to try.

Ka Lai Yuen (嘉麗園潮州粉麵) Review

My aunt takes me to this place almost every time when I'm in HK. It's in Yuen Long.

Every single time, it's always packed in there. I guess the food are at a reasonable price? Not sure, didn't pay, thanks!

I ordered a wonton flat rice noodle. It had enough flavour, I always like flat rice noodle. The wonton were not bad, good amount of meat and shrimp.

It's a good size for lunch, not sure about dinner.

Service was ok.

I guess I'll be back since that's where my aunt takes me every time haha!

I typed something but decided to delete it, don't want it to be read. I need to learn and accept because if I don't I'll just be unhappy. I don't like the unhappy me. I'm known for always smiling, keep that beautiful smile on Cinnabun. That smile and your "lost" look will attract a lot of guys. It's somewhat working so far. I know it's hard but try. Try for next time.

I like how boss asked if that new lady meet my expectations hehe. I feel special. So far so good. We will see. Time will tell what a person is like. Heads up, just don't mess with me.

I went out with a friend and she said I have heavy make up on... Me? How is that even possible? I have hardly any make up on... Must be that bright lipstick. I guess we hardly see each other and I did change a bit ever since the last time we met. Oh well.

So funny, she told her boyfriend to add her on IG and her boyfriend said "no, IG is for guys to check out sexy girls". Yea......................... I realized... I like her boyfriend's honesty lol!

Doctor didn't call me so I guess I'm all good for the ultrasound. Yay, I guess I had too much sh*t in life that's all? Be happy, no worries.

Saw a tiny mouse at work. At first I'm like what is that moving and it was a mouse. No, I didn't scream and my heart wasn't beating fast. I wasn't scared of it because it was tiny and looked cute. I was scared of the one in Hong Kong, at grandma's. That was huge and ugly, sorry. This is work so I'm not as scared, I don't sleep here lol. And I'm not like normal girls, I don't scream, I do deep down and when needed lol.

I don't know why but birds always hit against our company window. I feel their pain. OW! ><

I went for another eye exam for glaucoma. No history but doctor said I should just get one. It's part of MSP so might as well. I paid for that stupid thing every month! Doctor said my eye pressure isn't high but it's not a bad idea so I did. It was interesting, quite tiring. Had to stare at a dot and something around will blink. You will have to press this thing every time you see something moving. Some were dark or clear and very visible but some were not too noticeable. Interesting experience. It's as tiring as looking at the letters when I get eyes checked. You just have to blink all the time to see clearly.

I went to Starbucks for their happy hour so I can use up my gift card in a "c lai" way. =D I like how that girl was super fast at making the drinks. She was on fire, just like how I am at work haha. I don't like frapps anymore, they aren't sweet like before. If it's not the gift card and happy hour, I don't think I would get Starbucks.

A coworker is going on vacation and I said "have fun". He turned and pointed at me and replied "you, have fun". I laughed because he knows a** will be telling me to do stuff, a** will be helping that coworker with his work while he is on vacay. Yup, watch my mood turn into sh*t for the next 2 weeks.

There is this lady that works with our company but I feel like she doesn't like me. You know my gut is ok correct. I feel like she doesn't say thank you to me or she just doesn't greet me. Oh well, not everyone has to like me. They don't like me, I won't like them. Simple as that.

Out of the blu, I like some lyrics, the "it's time to say F you" caught my attention lol. The MV...?
Alan Walker - All Falls Down
"What's the trick? I wish I knew
I'm so done with thinking through all the things I could've been

And I know you want me, too
All it takes is that one look at you and I run right back to you
You cross that line and it's time to say F you

What's the point in saying that when you know how I'll react?
You think you can just take it back, but shit just don't work like that

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever
When it don't work out for the better
If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye
When it all falls down, when it all falls down
I'll be fine

Why we fight? I don't know
We say what hurts the most
It's way too hard to cope, but I still can't let you go"

Random Feeling

I was eating dinner and talking to my parents and daddy suddenly said "watch out for your stomach, don't let anyone hit you". I was like...? I'm sure I'm fine. I don't feel anything anymore.

However, after he said that I thought of something else. I thought about a future partner, if I'll ever find one. I honestly don't know what life has for me next. I'm afraid if anything I'll become someone's burden. I don't want to be. I know I'm healthy right now but I don't know. I guess this past health issue is a also good way to see who is worth my everything or not.

It would be nice to find someone who would walk down the hard path with me but I'm not lucky. And will there really be a guy who would do that? I think most guys would run away after they find out that side of my story. And I know that just all mean he isn't worth it. Is there a guy out there that is worth it? I wish he would come find me without me searching for him. I'm tired.

I'm emotionally tired. I don't know why but my crying almost everyday is happening again. All these sh*t happening in life. I think I have the right to say LIFE SUCKS! But I will never give up on life because I'm not selfish. I would not make my family sad and worry about me. That's why I suck up everything and pretend I'm ok infront of them but really I'm not. All I can do is face everything happily with a smile. No-one will understand me.

I guess things will never be the same... I don't hope for anything anymore, I don't want to be hurt again. I was quite lost when the flirting started, it felt like back to before. It was fun but I don't think it's the right thing to do if we are just friends. I know some guy and girl friends can flirt but I just feel like it's not the right time? That's why I decided to ask what is it that he really wants. I didn't feel anything when he gave me an answer, maybe it's fading? Or because I wasn't expecting anything anymore? 

I like it when he sends me stuff although I'm not the only one that receives them... I just don't understand why he sends me stuff but don't reply to my questions, that was one thing I didn't like about him before. I find that quite rude! If he doesn't want to start a conversation then why is he sending me stuff? If he wants to ignore me, don't make it so obvious! At least don't go online or any other social media. How would he feel if he was me? He probably wouldn't feel anything. Does he even know how I feel?

Can friends not tell each other about stuff? What kind of stuff does he talk with his friends??? Does he not reply them too? Is this just how he is? I'll never know because he hardly replies to my questions anyways. If he doesn't reply then there is no point of me trying to keep a conversation going and asking questions like a stupid girl. I want to but I know when to stop. This girl full of questions will stop asking questions because she is so hurt by that kind of action. If he wants he can ask me questions...yea, like he will... I'll do the same thing back to him so he knows how I felt. 

I feel like he is playing games with me, is that what friends do? If he doesn't want to be friends, just say so. Once again very disappointed in this friend. Take my kindness for granted. 

Oh well, maybe it's better this way? Time, give it some time. I'm sure we can be good friends, maybe not now. I honestly think we can.

Let's see what life has for me next.

I saw a quote that said something like first time is a warning, second time is a lesson, anything more is just taking advantage.

Out of the blu, I heard the lyrics in the car and thought not bad. I really like the bracket part.

Thai Food Pattaya (芭堤雅) Review

My relatives and I were planning to eat ramen but had to line up so we went to the food court in Dragon Centre. We sat infront of this Thai place and my aunt said it looks not bad so we decided to order from this place.

I was checking the guy out haha and told bestie about it, shhhhh!

We ordered a Hainan chicken rice and a "tung choi". No clue how much, I didn't pay, thanks!

The Hainan chicken was ok, chicken was soft but the rice didn't have much taste. It didn't have that strong chicken oil flavour that I would like. It also came with a tom yum soup and it was really good with the rice since the rice didn't have much taste. The soup itself was very strong in taste. It wasn't too spicy but there was a sour taste.

The tung choi was a bit salty to me but it was really good. The beef were just right but some choi were hard to chew. It was spicy but I was ok with it.

                                     

I would go back to check the guy out, JOKING! I think I would only go back for the veggie and have a good bowl of rice with it. But like I have been staying, tons of food to try in HK.

Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery (葛量洪號滅火輪展覽館)

I saw this boat on TV and someone who is always curious and interested in these stuff like me would take a look.

It's in Quarry Bay but I walk there from Tai Koo mall, almost got lost, should have taken the shorter way but I didn't know.

When I saw it I got so excited, it looked really nice. It would be more cool if it's in water but if it's in water 365 days, I think the boat won't last.

I was so excited but when I got on it, there weren't that much to see. But it was still nice being on it and great view up on top.

Go take a look if you are interested.

Sweet Monster Review

I wanted to try this last year but I couldn't find it. I didn't expect to try it this year but a relative friend was eating it so I went for it. Thanks for ice cream!

This was located in the Tai Koo mall. That mall is quite big.

I got the small choco monster ($27 hkd). I wanted to try the Jeju one, don't remember if it said Jeju green tea or was it Jeju tangerine but they said they ran out...

The ice cream itself looked nice and unique.

I prefer no popcorn. It was a bit hard to chew for me. I was hoping the popcorn was only on the outside so I can just eat the ice cream alone after. The chocolate popcorn was all over. I guess I should be happy that every bite has popcorn but only if it was crunchy or something. I honestly couldn't taste the ice cream itself.

Will I try again? I think I will but no popcorn.

Bee Blu XVII

Yay, I did what my heart wanted again. I'm so brave! Well, I just feel comfortable with him so I didn't care what I asked. I honestly hope we can be good friends. Most guys say that or I say that to them, they just don't talk ever again. It's just that weird. When I say friends, I actually mean it. We can still talk you know.

Lines, "only time can tell us what the most important things in life are". "Relationship with others depend on fate. If there is fate, even if they are separated for a long time and they see again, the feeling won't feel distant. If they always see each other and fight then they don't have fate to be friends". "I don't have a boyfriend but I have a great brother".

Chef brought an ok looking Caucasian student. I think second ok looking guy after Mr. 6'2. Oh well, won't see him after this time I guess. He looks ok young so too bad. 

We always get all these magazines on interior designed house. Looking at them makes me think, only if... Lol, time to find a designer or someone with money so I can turn my whole house into a show home look alike. In my dreams...

A coworker got a new truck and the guys went outside to check it out lol. Guys and cars. Wait till I get my sports bike lol, if ever...

I'm not sure why but sometimes I have to e-mailed these hotel people to set up rates for the company, they always have spelling mistakes in their e-mails. Something I don't expect from them, They seem to be higher level management so I expect no mistakes. Oh well, doesn't matter.

I watched "Daddy Cool" and the mom in the drama was horrible. She wants her daughter when she gets jealous of her sister. She doesn't want her when she may have a new love interest. She wants her when her love interest disappears on her. When love interest comes back, she doesn't care about her again. What kind of mother does that? So selfish.

Saw the part where the guy was dying and he was saying how painful it is. I wanted to tear but held it. It reminded me of when my back was hurting so much and I couldn't sleep. I don't think what I went through was as painful as some people. Glad I'm ok and I will be giving a helping hand when I find a volunteer that I really like.

Wasn't gonna post but I have too much drafts.

I typed about those F ing neighbors before, they were blasting music at 1am ish. I cursed them. How dare they wake my little princess up! Wait until you get old from all that partying, you F ers! I'm sure they are deaf already, so sad.

Why You Should Eat Your Food Slowly
I'm always the slowest one outta all my friends. I like to eat slow and enjoy my meal. When I eat fast, I don't remember the taste.

When I saw this I thought of myself and it's damn true. I can be pretty crazy sometimes, don't mess with me.

Out of the blu, I picked this song to match the above. I'm glad I have parents that treats me like a "pearl". I'm glad I have chill parents that would praise me and will never force me to do anything I don't like. Thank you for giving me such a great family. They are my everything. =) Forgot lyrics and obviously didn't read over this post...so much spelling errors...
吳業坤 Kwan Gor - 孝順

Friends Know What's Best For You

I guess it's true, your friends will know what is best for you. Sometimes they may say things that you don't want to hear but they just want you to wake up and face the truth.

I'm typing about this because I was cleaning the kitchen and I thought how one of my bestie didn't seem to like the recent guy and I asked her a few times before. She just said she liked him when I was happy but she doesn't like him when I started feeling unhappy. She didn't like how I was only focusing on him when I should be fishing everywhere. Well, who knew that he was just another bad one? I'll try to fish everywhere next time until I find someone that is worth every single second of my life and someone who is crazy about me forever. Someone that fell head over heels for me like Mr.6'2. =)

I remember she wasn't like that when I went on dates with this guy who seemed very interested in me but at the end I realized I didn't like him and the way he looked at me creeped me out. I don't remember her saying anything bad about him until it ended. I know she just wants the best for me like how I want the best for her too.

I understand because I feel the same way towards her boyfriend. I'm still disappointed in him but whatever. If she likes him I will support her but from all the stuff she has told me. I don't know how worth it he is. I mean there are ups and downs in a relationship but sounds like there are more unhappiness than happiness that I hear from her? I hope she'll be happy in the long run. Same goes with the other bestie - that guy is for sure a let go, love, just raise your hand high and wave that hand. You knew long ago he isn't the one. Why are you wasting your time sweetie?

I know we ain't young anymore and we want to find someone to live with for the rest of our lives but shouldn't we find someone that will make us happy more than unhappy? I know it's not easy but I'm sure there will be someone perfect for everyone out there.

Life is bitter already, do we really need more of that in our life?

Oh well, that is their choice and I won't be part of it. I understand them, we all don't want to give up easily. We all want things to work out. We all hope they would change on their own without us telling them or be the person who they used to be in the beginning. But life isn't that simple, once they have changed, they will never be the same. I think we all know the answer deep down but we choose not to trust ourselves and we are so used to the person. No-one likes change. No-one wants to start over from square one.

I always ask my bestie if Mr.6'2 or recent one comes back all changed would she let me be with them. She said no because they can hurt me again. I understand but she also knows how stubborn I am. I'm different from other girls. But not like that would ever happen. I only see that in drama or with some celebrities. There are in real life but highly unlikely. Usually when a guy is done with a girl they don't go back to them (same goes with the gal) and it depends how bad things ended. If they do, the girl will have to observe for a LONG time. If that does ever happen to me I think I would give them a chance but I'm not gonna be easy, let's see how long they can stand me muhahaha! If they can't handle me then they are not meant to be. I'll raise that hand nice and high and wave.

Viet's Choice (越棧越式) Review

My aunt and I were waiting for other relatives so we were wandering around to see what to eat for lunch and we saw this place. This was the Tai Wo one.

Service was ok, nothing special.

We ordered quite a few things but I'll talk about the ones I have tried.

We ordered the 2 people set that came with 2 drinks, Viet's Choice pho set ($136 hkd).

The noodle was huge, well, the bowl was. It's like 2 pho in one bowl. The pho, can't really go wrong with pho right? It was well flavoured. The noodle was the right texture but some looks a bit thicker. Maybe they just accidentally pulled some other noodle into it. The beef were ok but a little bit hard to chew for some. I really like those beef ball type of slices. They were really good.

                                  

I ordered the iced jan dor. The drink had this sweet coconut milk taste but those green jelly has no taste at all. I wish it had a sweet taste to it or some flavour but I guess that's how it is?

                                              

We also ordered the shrimp cake. It had a nice shrimp taste and very chewy and crispy. I liked it.

                                    

I tried a lemon grass chicken wing, it was ok. Not too strong in lemon grass but the chicken wing was very juicy.

I would come back again, not bad. I'll order a different drink next time. Thanks for lunch!

Hong Kong Railway Museum

I saw this on TV so decided to come take a look. I'm into historical stuff sometimes.

This museum is free of charge and closes every Tuesday and some holidays. I came here one time and I forgot it was a Tuesday.

Their display trains are at the very back of this place. You can actually go inside and sit around. It was pretty cool.

I wish I could come to these museums with people who are as interested as I am. Some relatives were just sitting somewhere waiting for me. I felt bad and at the same time it makes me want to rush through everything because I don't want them to wait for me.

Oh well, definitely a great place to check out.

Tai Wo Market Dessert Review

I wanted to check out the railway museum and had to wait for relatives so we had dessert first.

There was this dessert/ snack shop inside the market. I'm not sure about the name but I think they were the only dessert place in there.

We saw these cute little jarred jello so decided to buy and try.

We got a mango flavour and I forgot what the other one was ($10 hkd each). Hate it when I don't take notes!

They weren't that great. The mango one had a fake mango flavour to it. The other one, I don't remember what it was so can't remember the taste. I remember those popping ball stuff, I always like those.

Well, I guess I can't expect much with that price. I mean the jar itself is pretty expensive, this whole thing with the jar was only $10. I kept them, brought them back home.

No, I don't think I would come back, it looked nice but the taste wasn't that great.

Bee Blu XVI

Manager and coworker were curious why I stayed late at work. I'm normally out the door on time. Well, I had to wait for a dinner and I don't know where to kill time so why not stay at work. I wonder what they were thinking lol. Is it because I was dressed up lol?

Haven't been feeling very well. I usually don't like seeing doctors but I wanted to see one so bad this time. Gonna get an ultrasound...yay...and no, I'm 201% sure I'm not pregnant! Just having those same kind of feelings 4 years ago and I'm a bit afraid... =( 

She asked if I'm stressed or something. Um...I didn't want to tell her my heart is shattered... Other than that I don't think I'm stressed. Work is ok chill for now. I forgot to ask for blood test. It was so quick. Forgot to ask about my neck and my heart rate...oh well. Let's just hope it's nothing. I don't think "天" wants to torture me this much right? Go torture people that deserve that pain. "Good things will happen to good people"...LIE!

Do I have a kiddy voice when I talk to strangers? People over the phone always call my dear or love. I like it but just curious.

Bad luck don't come alone. When am I ever lucky? I can only face it happily. This rack fell apart at work, good thing kiosk uncle helped me. When will good things happen?

Now I have to check my posts to make sure they are all the same font. I usually don't preview them and I realized certain lines are bigger in font. Whoops.

I watched a sitcom where the girl doesn't want her boyfriend to see her no make up look. Glad I look almost no difference before and after make up. I hardly have any on, I don't like putting layers of make up on myself. I see these videos on IG and these ladies put so much make up on and they look like a different person. Would you like a girl with tons of make up on? Would you like a girl that looks different before and after sleep?

The chef suddenly showed up with his student. I was thinking...why are they here, there is a demo? I had to check my calendar. Then the chef came to me and said "are you going to ask me what I'm doing here?". I said "I was going to...". He said "I guess the demo was cancelled but it was on my calendar". Yea...

We had a training and the training started already. I see this car drive into the parking lot and the person sat there for few minutes. She came in and said she is late for the training. I'm thinking, if you care about being late or not, you wouldn't sit in the car for so long...

Relieved

4/27 - So I did what my heart wanted and I don't regret a bit. I only regretted sending the first accidental message. That was honestly an accident and not my intention. I don't lie but if he thinks that was on purpose then think that way. I can't stop people from thinking.

I guess it's true, after all "天" wants me to find an answer. I guess that's why when I put "Let 天 decide for me" this whole thing happened. I'm glad it happened. I finally understand. Thank you!

I'm actually relieved that I sent the message because if I didn't I would just continue thinking "so is it really over or why did he reply?". Who knows. Never know till I try.

I'm relieved that he didn't read and didn't reply afterwards because it tells me now I can move on completely. I'm sure he read it from his notification. I didn't expect an answer anyways. He made it very clear before. Made it more clear by not reading. I got the answer that I wanted to know deep down. Thank you!

My reply may sound like I was mad but I wasn't. I'm just curious why someone who wasn't even comfortable talking things out and let everything end still cares about me. I'm happy he cared but someone should have cared long ago. Even though if it was from the heart, I don't know how true it is anymore...only he knows. Oh well, I'm happy I did it.

I'm proud of myself for being brave and have the gut to do such a thing. I told you I ain't like normal girls. When I want to do something I'm all out. Plus, I have nothing to lose. This is how I learn. I did my best. I did, I tried. 

Plus, I feel like I'm not the type of gal he is looking for... I also realized we have a 4th mutual friend. What a small world. 

5/4 - "天" loves to play with me (when does it not?). What are you trying to tell me "天"? So out of the blue... I'll take it as an accident, I wasn't being rude by not replying, no words, what does he want me to say? He can tell me himself if he really wants to, hopefully in words next time. The whole being friends thing from last week's post, it will take some time. I believe we can though. Let "天" decide for me, like it has always been.

5/9 - I thought...nevermind, I don't want to say how I feel on here anymore. If someone wants to know he can ask me. Thank you for answering my questions although I didn't really ask anything but you cleared everything for me. Thank you for considering me as a friend all along. I actually do hope we can be. I'm happy I'm on your "less than a dozen" list, at least it means I'm still your friend. I think we can be great friends, you think so? I feel like you are not gonna send me anything after that. Please do send me cool stuff that I may be interested in. Please don't ignore me if I ever have something to ask. And I'm a girl full of questions if you haven't noticed. Thank you. =)

Out of the blu, I had 2 other songs in mind but I'll keep those for Bee Blu posts. I like some lyrics from this song that goes with my feelings. "Flying Tiger" is pretty good. At first I wasn't too into it but I like it now and those guys! I want to wear those SDU uniform too, I'll look so cool! I haven't seem some of the actors for so long!
