Pay per Pamper

Bun: helloo my name is Chocolate Man Bun. I come from Hong Kong *makes V sign*.

Tourist: Do all the buns in Hong Kong look as cute as you?

Bun: Oh no boss, I'm special bun boss. Export quality. For you boss, cheap cheap... only 25 dollars! Normally 50 dollars!

Tourist: Oh, er.. How much is that in real terms?

Bun: It means that you can make the average Hong Kong person smirk and laugh at you behind your back for paying 5 times the price of the average bun. It would make Chocolate Man Bun velli vellii happee boss!

I know I have been absolutely horrible for updates recently. It is not that I have nothing interesting to blog about since all I do everyday is to eat work. I have been wandering about various shoe shops in Hong Kong and ShenZhen looking for summer dolly shoes. I am now the proud owner of many pretty shoes! =) I love this place! The girls have also been good for shopping trips about Hong Kong as well as China. We went for the best Peking Duck in Hong Kong last weekend. There is a two week waiting list and they would only let us order one per table even though we had 12 to a table while the table next to us had 4 people and still got one whole duck. -_-

We went off to China for our massage fix. Bearing in mind that I just got a facial and scrub the night before I was exceedingly pampered this weekend. I couldn't take any more pampering and cancelled my facials over the weekend. Not that I had the energy to go, we went to watch footie at the Irish pub on Saturday and to Lan Kwai Fong with the Oxford kids. I now have four new geeks on my floor who work insane hours for research purposes. It doesn't help that they like vegetables. I don't like vegetables. Vegetables are bad for you *gah*.

The following week will also be pretty packed. I have two facials scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday. Drinks with the bankers on Wednesday, shopping in ShenZhen on Thursday, sight-seeing in Macau on Friday, DimSum and room trashing on Saturday, sleep on Sunday before facing work again on Monday. In fact, the social calendar is now booked up to mid June.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, one can't help but wonder what the parents are up do. I am waiting to see if my mother remembers she has a daughter in Hong Kong (hellooooo??) and if my girlfriends in UK remember to update their blogs so that I can stalk them again. I can't help but wonder if one day, we will actually drift apart and not see each other again? That, is not worth all the egg tarts in the world.

I walk past this poster every day in the corridor. Does it remind you of anyone Lai Ye? ;)
