Finally, I am still not married. Just kidding. It is just I am back in Hong Kong and wondering who I could call. I made a mental list of who is in Hong Kong and what they are doing here... I tried to think of my church buddies but they are all married and one of them just had a baby.

10pm- First class- seat 4A PAL (Philippine Airline)
Yes, I was in the FIRST CLASS! My mom and I combined our frequent fliers and it upgraded us. My mom wanted me to stay in economy class to toughen me up. Here is a lesson I learned, first class is really lonely. Everyone fell asleep too soon or they have own TV to watch with earphones on their ears. The food is awesome... the best plane food I've ever eaten. I cleaned the plate and it left me feeling like a princess. Anyway, there was no one to talk to. In economy class, it could be hard to sleep or sit, but you will make friends easily. WE could talk to relieve the distraction and help us to sleep. I am totally deaf and I am not as annoyed as everyone else to listen baby crying. My advice is ride in international airline when you are going to international places. That is what I learned from my brother. He flew by United and got a bad service and never gotten something to drink.
I was reading the book called "Thirteen Tales." It was a good book. It has great way of describing what is going on. I was so engrossed in it to find out what's a truth in it. I actually wished I have not known the truth. It is painful. It is really interesting. I dozed off in middle of the book. The plane ride was awesome, no bumpy ride. I didn't watch TV at all. I just read the book. We arrived in Guam, USA, to get refueled. I want to go get out and see the place. It was like 4 AM in the morning, and I woke up felling great! That was great about being in first class. We arrived in the Philippines about 6AM in the morning. My mom and I went to business lounge. I quickly got some free food and drinks. I got really awesome Filipino porridge. It was so good! I laid down and tried to finish the book. I also had a time to write to my friend who is on her mission in Missouri. My mom and I waited for 3 hours to get a flight to Hong Kong.
My days in Hong Kong just began...
December 18th, 2007 (HK time)
8am- my mom's office- secretary table- Hong Kong China SAR
I went shopping with my brother to buy stuff for his friends. We went to Causeway Bay and we just thought the stuff there are too expensive. We are kinda crazy because we still think HK dollars has same value as US dollars. Anyway, we ended up buying a cook book for his friend who wants to become a chef. He was trying to be a librarian before. Anyway, we went to Time's Square, and saw all wonderful Christmas decorations. To me, there is a problem, the color doesn't really got into Christmas spirit. It was driving me nuts. Purple for Christmas, I could say ew. I am not a big fan of purple. I like lilies as a color but not bright and shiny purple. Yellow, navy, and brown are my favorite colors. I just thought Christmas could be either green and red or blue and white (winter wonderland). Everyone asked me if Hong Kong people celebrate Christmas. They do but I don't see nativity around. My parents want me to go to Macao to see the place and get some ideas for buildings in China.
December 19th, 2007
My family and I woke up at 5AM trying to get a boat to Macao. By the way, I finished the book and brought the book Odessa gave me, 'Twilight," by Stephanie Meyer. We arrived in Macao around 10AM in the morning. We started visiting Wynn, then MGM Grand. I gambled first time and didn't like it. I won some money and lost all to one sneaky slot machine.
We ended up staying at Venetian. I just developed several blisters on my foot and bad case of breathing. Almost everyone is from Mainland China and they are known to smoke excessively. I could not breathe. I could not last in middle of smoking air. I wanted to faint. My family were fine with it. I decided to stay in hotel room and sleep while my family gambled on their own. When I woke up, my parents brought me down to gamble first time. I started with 500 HK dollars (45 US dollars) and ended up winning 5000 HK dollars (454 US dollars). I played 'Game War' and I was darn lucky. Anyway, the truth is, I don't really like gambling. It was fun making money but it is just weird. It is like a shortcut and I am never satisfied with it. My brother made the most money and treat us a dinner.

10AM-green sofa- Macao- hotel Venetian
My family and I enjoyed Chinese fast food lunch. The roast duck was awesome. I played Game War for a while and made 2000 HK dollars. I never want to play again. I just left to sleep and wait for my family. We got home around 6pm eating Portuguese egg tart. It was so good. Never ever leave Macao without eating the Portuguese egg tart from Lord Stow.

5:30am- my mom's office- secretary table- Hong Kong SAR
I went shopping with my brother. We went to Tai Koo Shing, and he finally gotten what he wanted for his friends. We both got haircuts from La Coupe. The hairstylist is awesome. She managed my hair to have more volume and turning my hair into 5o's style hair. It is huge mushroom hair. It is more like an Afro with straight hair. I like her because she is so particular and well groomed with my hair. I did not get a chance to take picture of it. I like it because it made me look goofy! I finally bought Christmas gifts for Amber and Robin. I actually left their gifts in the US by accident. I am shipping their gifts soon.
Celebrities watch:
Hong Kong Chief Justice Elaine Leung in Prince's Building, Central
- she saw me and my new hair, and I think she likes it.
HK politician, Martin Lee- Shanghaiese restaurant- Melbourne Plaza, Central
- He did not get a chance to see my really neat hair. My hair is terribly noticeable. It drove my mom crazy.
I finally get to see my cousin's baby picture. Her name is Chloe Ann Sanders. She is so cute. She has dark skin with one cute Afro hair. Her dad is African American and her mom is Chinese. She was born on the day I left for Hong Kong.
