Day 310 - Saturday - Hong kong, Shek-O

After being in the plane so much, I yearned for some nature, so we headed to Shek o, a beach village in south side of hk island .

Below a set of Shek-O views

This is not the common hk image, isn't it?









Model for a day - Brides and groom
to be taking photos for their wedding -
 what they called pre wedding shots .
Seems like shek o nature is
the popular background!

I am thankful for nature and good friends!

Day 314 - Tuesday - Tokyo , Surprise !

Tokyo is filled with surprises! 


A couple came out of taxi , I wanted the taxi .. The lady stopped the taxi for me... The lady called my name and identified herself...

I was taken aback ..no recollection for a second ... And then it sank in..

The owners of il ghiotonne Whom I had written as my dinner highlights on day 355- my 2nd day of blog entry!!

What's the chance on my way out Tokyo, I met someone whom I only met once in Singapore 41 days ago.. There are 124 million people in Japan, and they just came in to Tokyo from overseas!!!

How did this happen? What does it mean? 

Life is amazing ! It's full of surprises!!!

Day 319 - Thursday - Hong Kong

Sometimes people come to your life as a reflection of yourself .. It's almost like you can see yourself in the mirror and feel what the person is going through and you just want to let them know everything will be ok! 

It was one of those feelings today with a very long time ...

Over many cups of sake and delicious sushi, we bonded , laughed and hugged... I almost forgot how fun and loud my friend is !

hitachino beer.. A boutique new beer..
Quite interesting taste of pale ale
Starter: oysters
Sashimi 
Here's to glittering night of hongkong..

Ooh.. I think I had too much tea tonite.. So difficult to fall asleep!

I am thankful for now and what I have !

Day 320 Wednesday - Hong Kong, pampering time

It's public holiday today. So time to pamper myself..

Pedicure time! 

So many color to choose from...
I wanted purple but I ended up with pastel pink...
Well, it's kinda spring time .
Maybe I go for bolder colors next time...
Green tea while I am being scrubbed and cleaned!







Today I was at la maison du chocolat,
the Hermes of chocolates..

Recently I have a petite passion for hot chocolate...
Of course I had to indulge myself to one!

$50 hkd ( not cheap.. Agnes b was $38)  per cup... Verdict: very chocolatey but a bit too thick for me :) next! 
Empty street in queens road east,
one of the busiest street in hk!
Today I am thankful for mid week off day.. It feels different !

Day 321 - Tuesday - Hong Kong, don't miss the boat...

When you ask for something, universe will definitely give it to you!
Just don't miss the signals ...

Once I was told of a story ..

A pious man's village flooded and everyone had to evacuate.. A boat came to his rescue but the pious man said.."oh don't worry about me. God will help me".. He was hoping for the flood to subside ..

When it didn't, he drown and went up to heaven and met God, so he asked "God, why didn't you save me?"
God replied"I did, I sent you the boat !"

God works in mysterious way, we just have to open our eyes, ears and will hear and see the signs ..

I was given one today! How about you? Don't miss the boat!
