Hong Kong was PERFECT!I'm back! I really love Hong Kong! For me, it's still the best. And it was extra perfect coz I was finally allowed to roam around without the company of a grown-up, plus Wappy and I got to go around the entire Kowloon and one day with Kuya Ting Ting in Causeway Bay, and we also got to spend some time with Shobe all over the place. Saya! Plus eat all you can Ben & Jerry's.
And Disneyland! Waah! Spent the entire Disney time with Macie so it was extra fun! Will upload pictures soon. I'm tamad to now. Everyone was telling me that if you're used to Disneyland in the States, Hong Kong Disney is corny. Gosh! Not at all! I still felt like a kid and had so much fun. Weird lang coz the the characters would sometimes talk in Chinese so nawawala the magic. But "The Lion King" was super galeng! We got VIP seats pa since Ate Char was in a wheel chair.
Hmmm... Don't know exactly how to describe this vacation. Basta saya! And I think I'm getting high blood right now. The effects of eating duck everyday everyday...

Blasted New AddictionBlasted Mars! I'm gonna kill her introducing me to Diner Dash. I'm hooked on Sims 2 AND I'm hooked to Diner Dash. My bloody hand aches from clicking the mouse away and letting Flo do my every command.
Anyway, to give way to Hope, let me fulfill my blogger/LJ duty. Sorry Hope! Had to tag non-LJ users since I hardly know anyone who uses LJ.
Ground rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "Five Weird Habits of Yourself" and the people who get tagged need to then write an entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people who you want to tag.
1. When I see random words on the street, I balance them, e.g. RANDOM is RAN - DOM. If it's BLOGGER, it's BLO - G - GER.
2. I read books making sure that they don't crease, dog ear, get hurt, etc., etc.
3. I bite the excess skin off my thumbs when they get annoying.
4. When I order a hot drink at Starbucks, I can't drink it unless the logo on the sleeve is ON the logo of the cup, and the nib where you drink from on the lid is right above the 2 logos. (Parang this is bordering on OC.)
5. I like touching people's noses when they're cute and shiny (but not with sweat, just shiny).

The Color REDWhat is Your True Color?
Caren, your true color is Red!
Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.
Speaking of Red, I love Shobe forever! She just got me my digicam - a cute, red Ixus i5 - and I can't believe she got it THAT CHEAP so I ought to bring her some chocnuts when I go to HK! I really love Hong Kong. I know I love Bangkok but the thrill of Hong Kong is different. Can't wait to pick up my new baby on the 22nd and take lotsa pictures of Macie in Disneyland.

Happy New Year!!!I'm sorry, it's kinda late. I've been on Christmas break and refused to get on the net to check on anything. Also waiting for the local cable guy to come to the house and connect our dsl. I've also been so pre-occupied with a number of new addictions.
SIMS 2!!! Is so bloody addicting. Bam and I have been groggy everyday from playing that game til the wee hours of the morning. So far, we've created Bam, Faye, Mars, Mikey, Wappy, Mike, and myself, and our houses. Bam and Mike already have crushes on each other. Haha! I can hear the Hallejah Chorus! And Mars and I are best friends. Schweet! Have yet to create Willow and not make Bridget her daughter, Hope and make her see a ghost and an alien, Chris, Crissy and Anna, and a bunch of other people. My fun meter is rising.
And there's "The Romanov Prophecy" by Steve Berry. I highly recommend it to everyone looking for a good book to read. If you're not fond of Romanov history, you will be! Don't expect a Dan Brown style of writing excitement but it's almost there.
So anyway, I'm almost done with the book. HAPPY NEW YEAR everone and nothing but good luck this 2006!
