Happy Family Dinner!!

tonight lum lum biew jeh..haha...(i called her that and it gave us both shivers) treated our whole family to dinner!! she's in HK on Google business but despite her busy schedule..she could get together with us to have dinner!!! it was in wan chai....ai..i forgot the name of the restaurant already..but all i know was that it was REALLY NICE.....expensive? not as much as the Christmas dinner she treated us to at "Yook Ting Heen" in vancouver!! haha...this was only 1/3 of that price..haha....i saw the bill =PPP haha..but it was still $$$ =PP but very worth it!!! and i just realized that me and my mommy arent gonna be at this year's christmas eve dinner!!!! it's gonna be at the same place and lum lum said she raised her budget this year!!! ahhh.....i sooooo wanna be there...how could i forget the yummmmmeee stomach bulging dinner? ai..oh well..lucky christophe and auntie annie will be there tho..haha...=) anywayz..tonight's dinner was sooooo much fun!! me and my cuz had soooo many laughs...basically the table was pretty quiet besides me and her rambling on in english..haha..making fun of the waiters description of the food and so on...haha...it' strange cuz i havent seen her in 6 months and seeing her in HK is even weirder...but i think this time we talked the most we've talked in like a million years..maybe it's cuz we've "matured"..haha..and plus both sets of our parents weren't there.....it was just me and her laughing away the whole night...hahaha..and plus her office is at the IFC so she's like shopping all the time...she said she'll buy me clothes and take me for tiffin's dessert!!!! omg.....so i'll be going out with her on friday! =) she said she understands what it's like being abroad and seeing family is just really happy...and it's true....seeing her made me feel really happy and i guess no matter how much we didnt 'talk' before...this time it was different.....we actually hugged..we never did that!! haha....=P i guess some relationships just grow with time and age...i'm glad i have a cousin like her...i mean i'm not really close with any of my cousins...but i think she makes the top 3..keke..and she said taking care of younger cousins is what being an older cousin is all about..awww...thx <3 o yea.....and afterwards..my 3 couw foo drove me back to hall in his porche 911.....i didnt even know he owned one!! he was going 150km/hr on pokfulam road..i was like omg this is sooo much fun!!! haha...mommy..he's not going to pick you up from the airport in that car tho....he said it will scare you! hehehe....and when i got back to hall..i saw the attendants staring at the security monitor screens and they even asked me...is that your car? hell no....but i wouldnt mind if it was! wahahahah

(and my sacrifice of being hot was no mosquito bites in return!! whahahha ho yea!) anywayz.....my mom called me while wendy jj was helping me take pics and she told me to go to "cheung bo dor"....but we couldnt make it there and i heard it's really hard to walk there!!! so mommy, we'll go there when ur here...hahhaa =PP so after sunny couw foo had his bowl of "fish ball noodles".....we walked towards pak tai temple......and took pics of coz....it's a landmark.....haha...anywayz..the funnies thing was that there was this soccer field in front of it..and omg sunny couw foo started playing soccer with these 3 little boys.....and they were saying how 'ging' my uncle was when we were all standing there laughing at his "panting" while chasing the ball..hahahha....omg it waso funnee =OOOOO hehe..after that we went to tung wan beach..and passed by the place where lee lai san practiced her wind surfing and won the olympics....and it was sooo nice walking along there cuz the breeeze was soooo cooooool.....nice!! and then we saw the 'mini great wall' and sunny couw foo made us walk there....omg so we DID end up 'walk mtn' today!! hahaa.....more stairs!!! but it was not bad at all today......not as sunny! =) but still tiring....i'm exhausted rite now!! -_- but anywayz....it was cool cuz we got to see the naturally eroded rocks there..including 'big head rock', 'sea dog rock', and '2 elephants rocks'....yeaaa..weird names...but they do look cool! haha..=) after heaing on top of the great wall for a bit and enjoying the scenery we walked in a big big big circle back to where we came from...haha..asking ppl for directions along the way......and even tho we ended up taking a detour.....it brought back many childhood memories of when sunny couw foo, alan gor gor, and wendy jj used to come in to cheung chau all the time and play! hahahahaa......it's kinda cool hearing ppl recollect their youth...and i think who will i be hanging out with when i'm there age?...the friends i have now? anywayz....hahaha...we ended up eating seafood there for dinner!!! which was okay except the 'wong yau crab' was the BEST!!! omg it's the first time i had it in my life and the GOHs are sooooo goood....they made it very well but it was SOO FILLING!!!! hehe.....the ferry we went back on was much bigger and we paid extra for the "ho wah" seats...hahah....which were just seats surrounding a big table.....i fell asleep on the table right away...and it was so hard for wendy jj to wake me up to get to deboard...wakakaka...=PPP then afterwards..sunny couw foo took me to the hagaan dazs in lkf and chiang me to eat ice cream like he promised to!!! kekee...it was sooo yumeeee....green tea...my fave hagaan dazs flavour!! yumeee =DDDDD and i had tiramisu flavour tooo....which was to die for tooooo! =DDDD
