italics are my new notes :)

Yesterday, we walked 19,328 steps.
(But let's talk about the day before yesterday first...)
Day before,
Brekkie at pork chop pork chop with cmum and cdad
(cmum and cdad = cherry's mum and cherry's dad)
then got a hk sim card and exchanged my gangster money at HSBC where they had good coffee according to cdad
Then we (cherry, isaac and i) ran away to meet pickle at tsim sha tsui
Shopped around for a little bit - pickle got face painted by shisheido person when she asked about powder
(what happened was we went to lane crawford which is a huge hk department store and we went to the shisheido counter cos pickle was interested in some loose powder. but when we got there, the girl at the counter was all like oh no no no! your eyeliner is waaay above your eyeline. i need to fix it. and so she spent a good 10 minutes and 5 products fixing pickle's fierce eyeliner to extra fierce eyeliner)
Bought some stuff from Bobbi brown
(by some stuff, i mean i bought one gel eyeliner - YES!)
Then we rushed off to meet Valerie at Admiralty; while Isaac ran off with his friend
(isaac literally just went, bye! *runs off* to meet nick)
Ended up on some rooftop bar with awesome view
(wasn't really a bar, so much as a really high class brassiere type thing, called cafe grey)
Started off with cocktails but the berry tartlet we ordered a la carte was so good we ended up ordering high tea which was consequently not as good
(i got a nice cocktail, pickle ordered a lychee, valerie ordered some hokkaido one and it was weirdas. then with high tea, it was weird because they had the savouries at the top and the desserts at the bottom - so nice sandwiches at the top and then scones and then a whole heap of fruit cake/spongecake/whatevercake. we also ordered some pretty nice tea that i can no longer remember - ginger?)
Picked Isaac back up after leaving Valerie to her family dinner
Convinced pickle to eat at cherrys place
Watched tvb together lol
(looooooooool which pretty much just consisted of us three girls complaining a lot about the poor standard of tvb productions)
Then sent pickle and Isaac off on their respective adventures
(pretty much: drinking)
did exercises before sleeping
Yesterday
brekkie was buns
Met Isaac at Admiralty
(yes, this kid didn't come home! and when we met him he was full alcohol bloated. SMH.)
Met Jo Cheung and Eric at Admiralty
Went to The Peak via tram
(the peak is supposedly top dog tourist attraction, which i've never had the chance to visit and seeing as i was keen to play tourist on this trip to hk they all humoured me by going. the cable car/tram up to the peak was the steepest tram ever. i swear if the back door was open, people would have flown down the mountainside titanic style)
Took photos and ate food
Then bussed back down to Central
Walked around
(and around...and around...)
Finally found the chocolate sculptures at random high class hotel
(that eric had heard about. they were really intricate and cool. can't believe they were made out of chocolate!)
Watched ballet performances by cute little kids
Said bye to Eric
Walked around a lot
Small stores f.i.l too good
(there were a lot of small expensive boutiques around the back streets and one of them, named F.I.L was just tooooooooooo good. the SAs didn't bother with us at. all. and that was just as well, seeing as a checkered shirt was eggin' $6k)
walked walked walked
Tried to find toilet
Awkward elevator
Instructions given by building manager
(so the story here is the four of us - joe, isaac, cherry and me - all needed to go to the loo. so we walked a bit until we came to this elevator in the middle of nowhere and one of us outloud was like, i wonder if we go down this lift, if there will be a toilet. then suddenly, appears this guy who is like, follow me, i will show you the toilet. so we follow him down the elevator...all of us completely silent...and then he walks us through the doors and points us directly to the entrance to the toilets. when we come out, he's taken of his coat and we realise he's actually the building manager of the place. lol.)
Ate at causeway bay - pretty good sushi
The waiter was super attentive to Jo (apparently, because he's handsome)
Isaac and his egg sushi (eating at classy joint, but isaac demands egg sushi over the more expensive sashimi nigiri)
Ordered more food cos got lied to (they had this special, that on the menu looked really impressive, so we only ordered a few more things. turned out to be really small, so we had to order a whole heap more)
Then walked walked walked
Caught electric tram
And walked walked walked
Tried to find this new and popular dessert place but long line when we got there
Said bye to Jo
Caught random bus back to hung hom and walked home in the cold
Then i was super demanding and wanted asian dessert so we went to sesame green bean and i ate a taro and coconut milk sago that was really really good.
Isaac supposed to shower but he fell asleep lol
donna.
