On the way back as usual I went to current favourite bread shop Imperial Bakery get my chocolate bread and walk upstairs to go back. I passed by Lovely Lace… looking at the small stall and wonder
Do they have my favourite aromatherapy oil that I couldn’t manage to find in KL?
I used to have one and only one scent of oil which is the Dewberry. I lost it some how don’t know where I put it. The last time I bought a new set of burning equipment I get myself the English Rose because none of the shops here have Dewberry or even heard of it. I went back to that shop I bought mine last time they also didn’t know there is such item so I just have to live with it.
I walked towards the Lovely Lace stall and look and I saw Dewberry stated on the bottle. I took it and OMG…. can’t express how happy I am to see that bottle of oil. I opened it up and smell it…. ahhhh nice. Without thinking twice I get it. Now I know where I can get the next bottle if i needed too.

Today is the day we starts our Hong Kong adventure. Our adventure today is to go to Ocean Park. Woke up early in the morning, head to our first stop which is Australia Dairy Company (澳洲牛奶公司) for breakfast. Please note that you must go very early for breakfast else you will have to line up to wait for your seats. I choose this as our first breakfast spot coz today we are heading to Hong Kong Island (south). So its just on the way. We took the MTR from MongKok (旺角) to Jordon (佐敦) station.
Look at the various types of newspaper

Yung Kee Restaurant (鏞記酒家)
This shop supposedly very famous with their roast goose. They have different sets of menus as well as ala carte. If you go in groups then you can order their set dishes else order separately. If you don’t want to waste time waiting, make sure you make a reservation earlier especially if you go in large groups. Reservations must be made 7 days in advance. You can also make the reservation online. Else you would have to wait for quite some time before you get seated if you go without a reservation. The place I assume is always so packed with people during dinner hour.
I have seen reviews online stating that their roast goose are quite good. But when I ordered it, the outcome disappoints me. Well maybe just my luck. Coz based on the review I’ve found some really did said the food is nice, some stated that the food is not that nice. Maybe too many people or I’ve ordered the wrong goose? Heh I am not sure but well … at least I tried. Overall the food is ok especially the soup tasted quite good.

After watching the movie Twilight, I gain interest in reading the book. I manage to get all copies of the e-book and started reading. This is the first time I am so into reading a book. Maybe coz the movie influenced me. Well I read it during lunch hours, night time at home, before sleep, inside the car… anywhere, anytime. It reminds me alot of Choong Yee hahaha. The book is quite thick and I manage to finish it in a week really break my own records LOL.
Last 2 weeks Christmas I not just get presents during the celebration, to my surprise darling bought me the Twilight book. During Christmas eve when I reached the mall I was surprise why he asking me to meet him somewhere so high up and not at the front door. Then when I saw him he gave me a package wrapped up… I wonder what is that hahaha. During dinner can’t resist and I opened the package…. makes me so happy LOL. I didn’t expect he will get me “anything” for Christmas what more can I expect he bought me my favourite book. Thanks honey 
My Christmas Present from darling
I actually have the intention of keeping all the books even though I have the e-book heh. I went to Lowyat.net and check out the books and also google it. I notice that lots of people are looking for this book and it really selling fast. Most of the places are out of stock. I asked darling to check out TIMES where he bought the first book -.-” also out of stock. Later on there I found out one book supplier from Lowyat.net, he said the stock just arrived hehe I immediately place and order. He gives discounted price as well. You can check it out here. Can’t wait to get my book next week.
I always love to knit…
Lately nothing for me to knit. Been like a week since my last project done. I’ve been searching for designs around the Google sites and I came across one very nice blog http://margauxelena.typepad.com/tentenknits/. She is really good. Lots of patterns I found there. Really amazed me by her work. After I finished browsing hers, I went on to check out her friends blog (most of them are the same like her knitters and they are very good) and found another one more knitters http://a-friend-to-knit-with.blogspot.com/. She quote something in her profile which let me think….
“My day is not complete without a little knitting”
Sitting here browsing or watching movies, but the hand are not moving with tiny things to knit really feels uneasy. Too used to having work around my hands. Being able to knit is something I love to do to pass my free time. Now I have those left over threads therefore I am browsing to see what I can do out of it… I wonder. All current project need to go back to si fu for the next step…. Time passed really slow without my favourite past time hobby
You see I will spend my time knitting even when there just a little bit time left.
This is before we went for paintball hehe….
By looking at the title, I bet many of you already watched this movie. At first it didn’t occur to me about watching this movie until Firhan said I would love this movie. Also have to thanks to darling for accompanying me to watch it. As Firhan stated this is some kind of romance movie so.. heh darling usually don’t watch romance movie but he suggested we watch. He say will have some actions in it so ok (felt so lucky hehe).

Wish you all Happy New Year!!! Although its like already been the 2nd day heh. Hope that this year ALL my wishes will come true as well as yours. 2008 Christmas and New Year I celebrated in Jakarta itself. As you know Christmas celebrated with colleague. During new year eve I did nothing much. Sit at home watching Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. Nice movie actually heh. I’ve already watched it like so many times but I still loves the movie. Anyway as usual Jakarta always have lots of fireworks during special events like Raya or New Year. Here really very extreme case. There are everywhere.
Credits to my darling for taking those photos. Although it is not that clear coz you know its hard to take night photos hahaha. As you can see (little bit) there lots of fireworks. Usually it lasted for very long. It started even before 11pm if not mistaken up until 12 something. During Raya its even more worst about 8pm plus you can start seeing fireworks up until about 3~4am in the morning. Well thats the best thing can watch various kinds of fireworks here.
So fast a year has past and new year has come. This year hopefully everything goes as smooth as wind and perfect.
Happy New Year!
Today mood swings a little. Feeling a bit down. Finally went downstairs to get my mocha. But unusual thing is I get the hot mocha instead of the cold one that I usually get. How odd is that. There are two choices either the Cafe Brewed Mocha or Latte Swiss Mocha (Swiss Latte Mocha) forgot. But I got the Latte Swiss Mocha.
My mocha
To my surprise… this is the regular hahaha. Look how small it is OMG. This tells me that next time I should get back my usual Ice blended mocha which is like regular but bigger than this. Well at least I tried. Actually my plan was to enjoy the mocha and read my ebook (2nd book from Twilight Saga). It’s nice to have a long weekend.
