“I want to see the Bruce Lee statue!” That was one of the ultimate goals of Mike and Eric for our Hong Kong trip last year. So after stopping by 1881 Heritage, we headed straight to the Avenue of Stars so the boys can pay homage to the Hong Kong martial artist extraordinaire… or his 2.5-meter …
Stopping By 1881 Heritage
After having dinner at Golden Lake Restaurant and walking around Ashley Road, I took Mike, Eric, Paula, and my former workmates Tin and Mina to Canton Road, one of the most posh roads in Tsim Sha Tsui lined with luxury brand shops so we can spend hundreds of dollars and shop ’til we drop. Err, sure. …
Golden Lake Restaurant, Hong Kong
Golden Lake Restaurant was the first restaurant that Mike, Paula, Eric, and I ate at when we arrived at Hong Kong. Paula said she and her family have dined there before, and the food was cheap and good, which is always a winning combination! It’s no Tim Ho Wan, where you’ll see a long line of customers …
“Hop Inn” to our Hip Hostel!
I can’t believe I just turned 31 a week ago! But what I really can’t believe is that I still haven’t blogged about my 30th birthday trip in Hong Kong last year. I’ve been meaning to write about it, but haven’t found the time due to the busyness of this event called “life.” Since exactly …
Throwback to Thirty
People often dread the big 3-0. Not me. In fact, I liked being 30. I may no longer be as “ripe and juicy” as an 18-year-old, but that’s okay. I think those adjectives are better for describing tomatoes anyway.
Art In Island, a 3-D Art Museum
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” ― Edgar Degas Looking at art is usually a pleasure, but interacting with art? Now that’s an entirely unique experience! While it is great to appreciate a picture, nothing is quite like being part of the picture. It’s like stepping inside a different world …
There Are Plenty Of Fish In The Sea
As if the Japanese aren’t offbeat enough (case in point: futuristic toilets that play music as you poop), even the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day is unconventional. Unlike the rest of the world where it’s usually the men that are expected to present gifts to their women every 14th of February, in Japan, it’s the women …
It’s “Just” Valentine’s Day but it’s STILL Valentine’s Day
What’s the big deal about Valentine’s Day? It’s just an over-promoted consumerist holiday marked by chocolates, flowers, and cheesy Hallmark cards. It’s a day of red outfits, bad poetry, heart-shaped anything (candy, eggs, a random rock on the ground — you name it!), and unimaginative marriage proposals, and yet even with all of these, the …
Welcome to my New Blog!
I just killed the Leap Year Lola. Wait, wait! Relax, I didn’t kill anyone. I was just referring to my old Blogspot blog. Blogging there was great. It was easy. However, I really wanted to take the act and art of blogging a notch higher by having my own domain name, a cleaner and more …
