i think for as long as i can remember, this is the first time new year was ushered in rather quietly with no clubbing involved. drank a cup of wine and let off lanterns containing our wishes for 2013 at swas' place with all the usual group. a sign of old age?
but of course my 1st weekend of 2013 more than made up for that. not that clubbing was involved. it was off on a last minute trip to hk! with jojobooo
it was his first time heading there and was gg to stay with maggie and bee. i rushed to the airport from work while he was flying in from indo. his flight landed a good 35mins before our gate closed and he was landing at a different terminal too! i was very worried he wasnt gg to make the flight but spoke to the pple at the gate and they assured me there were quite a few passengers frm indo on our flight too... huffing and puffing, we're off to our trip!
landed just in time for dinner of pekking duck and herbal ckn covered in clay... which jo had to work for :)
then it was off to walking thru lkf and getting drinks at soho
the weather was perfectly chilled, and everything was on sale! unfortunately, i had purchased the same season clothes just 2 mths before, so there was nothing for me :( as it was also jo's first time, i had made time for more touristy escapades... which some were first time for me too! haha without jo, i don't think i'd ever have done them
including the tram ride up to the peak
dinner at tung po thanks to maggie's recommendation... it's essentially an air-conditioned hawker centre above a wet market opposite North Point's mtr exit a1
a terrible dinner at goldfinch
a trip to goldfish road at prince edward's
and i managed to convince jo, wen and jk to drive us to eat at the really deserted seafood place... with awesome fresh seafood esp cheesy lobster... yum!
then back to my all time new favourite... sevva! where wen did the cat walk for us along the length of hsbc :)

see if u can spot him
other adventures include factory outlet shopping, wandering around sheung wan, lots of food, hanging out at maggie's quite a bit coz her apt rocks and just really more eating. time passed so quickly, i'm sad to be back in hot, humid, rainny sg and not seeing jo soon :(
(everywhere we went, there would be a queue at the apple stores!)
(awesome cousin gg a little mad with lack of sleep coz of girls+exam+me squeezing in his bed)
