Out ALL DAy...

Yesterday we went to Chinatown in the city to see the chinese new year celebrations... the whole street of chinatown was filled with small stalls selling chinese products... the street was packed even though it was only 10am in the morning... although the whole place was decorated in red, lanterns, etc... the whole place still lack the chinese new year atmosphere that singapore's chinatown have... my aunt told me that this was going to be as 'chinese' as it's gonna be... we went to eat yu zha gui and dim sum after... that small taiwanese stall at the corner was the only stall that sells yu zha gui... i've been told that if u want to eat them, u either go there or eat those ready-made ones that are sold at the chinese shops... i still prefer the ones back at home... i miss 'hum chim bang'... haha is that how u spell it? they dun have them in the stall... and... one piece of yu zha gui costs us $1.60! we also drank soya bean milk, which made me think of the delicious soya bean milk in NJC and NYP...

we walked there till in the afternoon, and yesterday was also my cuz's birthday... she brought us to this really posh chocoloate cafe in the city... the chocolate brand name was LINDT'S... there are only like 3 such cafes in the world by this brand... one is in america, the other i think is in Switzerland (where i is manufactured) and in Sydney... we tried the ice-cream, and the iced chocolate drink... yum yum... my cuz also bought a cake and we threw a mini birthday dinner for her at night...

this morning when i woke up, i was thinking that the 3 hours difference between here and s'pore really sucks big -time... cos like every day i have to sleep at 10.30 pm sydney time... and then in s'pore it is only like what, 7.30pm... and my friends only go on msn at 10 or 11pm and by then it's already like 1am for me... so it's hard for me to talk to them online... sigh... like i haven't talked to some of them since i left... i dunno how am i going to solve this thing... suggestions, anyone?
