I'm OK

Hey everyone, it's now 8:27PM in New Zealand but my body clock is still at 3:27PM. Just flew in from Hong Kong this morning.

It's been 5 whole days since I left my handphone at home and it feels really weird without it. My dad said that not having a handphone is actually liberating--but in all honesty, I don't think so. It feels really weird not to stay connected. Specially since for the past few days I couldn't really use the internet like I used to. I found out that I had to pay HK$50 for 15 minutes! That's really such a rip off! But it didn't matter anyway since when I go back to the hotel, the business centre's already closed. And now with the time difference, I'd have to wake up at 5AM to be able to catch the people I usually talk to. It seems that I've just been too dependent on handphones and the internet that it's just so hard not to live without them. Wonder how it felt like to live in the stone age. Hmm..But anyway, thanks to the business centre here in our New Zealand hotel! Net free and there's no time limit!

So what have I been doing the past few days in Hong Kong? Aside from eating really good but greasy dimsum and soy chicken, we usually walk all day. At first I thought that shopping won't be that great since most of the stores would still be selling the winter collection. True for most but since there are multiple great shopping places in Hong Kong, it's not hard to find clothes for the not so cold weather. There were lots of stuff on sale! Oh, and do you know the waffle that's shaped like small balls? The ones that you can only find on the sidewalk? I love that! :)

Anyway, I'm getting really tired and a bit jet lagged. Getting on board the Diamond Princess tomorrow...pray that it'll be safe?

Oh, in case you were wondering, I didn't go visit Mickey Mouse. I decided to go shopping instead.
