Hong Kong Summary of Week 1

Can you believe that a week has already gone by?! I can't... I'm going to quickly summarize the days below. Day 1 (May 24): Today was the day we fly out of the country! Meeting up with Victoria, and Angela's parents we conversed for more than 40 minutes. Victoria's parents and only my mom are joining us "young adults" on the trip. Angela's dad and my dad stood at the top of the 2nd level to wave goodbye to us =3. Though Angela's mom got admittance to stand by the gate and personally send her daughter off. *Mama Chung got a bit teary as Angela would be gone for the whole summer. What we did for 1 1/2 hrs? Tap Tap Revenge 3... That's what! Victoria only won against me once!! (I let her win, don't tell her that) We took a lot of great pictures before my mom and I separated from the Shanghai bound-ers. More to Come from HK... Kevin

Wedding Takes Flight

What a day, a wedding and preparing for a flight the morning after. This spells "disaster!"

 

My cousin got married with a beautiful woman that he will treasure forever and ever! Yay!!! Pictures and video clips will be posted in the upcoming days, when I settle down in HK of course.

 

Plane leaves at 09:50 MST. So I better get some shut eye. Asia Trip 2010 will commence!!!!!! Talk to you guys from the other side of the Pacific~

Koi Fish Half Sleeve Tattoo

Koi Fish Hlf Sleeve Tattoo Complete in 1 Session!!

Artist: Kian Forreal

I think this tattoo is sweet. What I find more amazing is that how that guy can sit still for 8 hours straight! Grats dude. It looks great!

I hope I can stand 4 hours without dying. (I think I'll do 2 - 4 hour sessions)

Hong Kong Countdown: 2 days

More Kois that I Like

Hmm... this one I like the whole background and flowers. Very beautiful.

And this one, I like the color of the Koi. Simply amazing!!!!!

Sorry for drowning my whole blog with these tattoos, but I'm so stoked to get one. It's going to be there for my entire life.

Thanks Geoff, I will see you in August and plan this out, and hopefully, I'll be wearing it before my birthday (January 16).

Hong Kong Countdown: 3 days (woo hoo!)

Movie Night, Mom’s in Need, and Tattoo Updates

Wow, so much happened today - more than I expected. Waking up to the sound of my mom's friends, I stumbled to take a shower. My mom informed me that we were going to have Dim Sum with her friends (yay). We didn't eat too much, but the rash underneath my mom's right eye started to get worse. Offering to drive her to the hospital, she rejected. Next we drove to the hair salon. There was a long wait, so instead we went to the bank to get some money exchanged and taken out for our vacay (yay). Driving home and dropping off some stuff, we then ventured back to the hair salon and get an amazing haircut…. er. I don't like to get haircuts. Anyways, after all that, I went to take the bus to West Ed to watch a movie with a delightful friend.

If you guys haven't watched it yet, you should!!! It's called "Date Night." It's more of a comedy than a romance flick – so guys, you are more than welcome to watch it. Haha, I was hesitant at first to watch this too. The movie finished at 21:00 and amazingly there was still sunlight!! Calling my dad to see if he's here, I got my mom instead, asking if they were here yet. Alarmed by her response, my dad took me to the hospital. Hmm.. it appears as though she's left with my cousin. So then we went to London Drugs to get her some antibiotics. The swelling is less now, and the bulge is closer to her eye now (before it was bigger). Hope she gets better soon!!! *Fingers crossed

 

 

Today wasn't all that bad. I got a reply from my (desired) tattoo artist!!! I'm so excited!!

---------------------------------------------------------

Hi Kevin,

We can get together to discuss your design ideas any time now. No problem with
the 6-7 month time frame. I'm going to be away at a tattoo convention in
Halifax for the next week and will be back on the 30th. If you want to drop by
the shop after that we can sit down and make a plan. If you have some koi
pictures in mind already then email them to me. If not spend a bit of time
surfing google images for ideas. You don't have to find the exact design you
want. Say you like the fin on one koi then save that pic, or you like the eye
on another save that pic too. When you have 6 to 10 pics you like I will use
those as reference pictures to draw you an original koi incorporating all the
elements you like from the others. As far as the size of your "canvas" - don't
worry about that either. The tattoo will grow or shrink with your body - it
doesn't disfigure. I look forward to working with you.

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

Yay!!!! I look forward from getting tattooed from you too Geoff, minus the pain of course.

Holy cow, I want a tattoo so badly now for some reason. I think I'm going to stick with the Koi Fish one. I like the Japanese type of tattoos. Guess I have to work out now… This is the design I want:

Though I don't really like the color of the Koi, I prefer something like this:

I'm going to try to aim for my birthday!!!! Woo Hoo.

So I've pretty much decided that I'm gonna get a tattoo sometime hopefully in winter. Bad news is… I have to cover it up when my parents are around, that or I need to put on some kind of concealer on when I'm around them. Lol.

Time for Bed

Gee is it ever late… Did a lot of stuff at work today for once.

 

I think I should get my tattoo sooner - trying to shoot for my birthday. =3 Hope it's not that expensive and painful.


Anyways, g'night.

 

Mother’s Day –(con’t)

Sorry for not posting much yesterday. I was kind of sleepy from all that stuff that I had to do yesterday.

So yesterday, we went over to [Golden Rice Bowl] for some yummy Dim Sum. I was still kind of thinking of a gift for my mom as I was scarfing down my Siu Mai. Lol. So what do all females like? Purses of course! Gawd, why didn't I think of that before!? Hey, mom lets go to Southgate hmm? Well the bill came to about $35 - I treated my parents to Dim Sum. As we arrived at Southgate, my dad had to go pay some bills... and then we all went to the bathroom.... yaddy yaddy ya... and finally.. Oh mom lets go in here (Coach). All these sale associates we're questioning if I was buying something for my mom on Mother's Day... Well duh, obviously... like I would wear a purse... .... .... So moving on... - my mom knocked like 2 things over at that store, and tried on about every purse that they have in stock. At first she chose this black fabric purse w/ white lettering, though after she didn't like it. Instead, she got this one:

It's pretty nice I think. Though, she kept digging in the purse trying to find the price. And you know.. I was all like "It's ok mom, you don't have to look at it, I'll buy it for you whatever the price may be." Time to check out, though a Chinese Auntie with her daughter shopping for shoes offered us with a 25% discount on a purchase. So we put our purchases all on one bill. I have to give a big shout out to the mother who did this for my mother and I, so thanks Angela L.; you saved me like ~$70, which I can use to buy Final Fantasy XIII. Gawd, I want that game so much... (**hint hint guys). So my Visa was heavily damaged yesterday. Thank god Mother's Day comes once a year. And like my niece says "You could use your Visa card, and then you don't have to pay". How was your guys' Mother's Day? I would love to hear about it. Comment in the box below. Oh yeah.... "Mom, I love you. Happy Mother's Day" - Kevin

Hong Kong Countdown: 14 days

Happy Mother's Day to All Mothers

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Hope you all had a great time yesterday. I know I did. Fill you in in about a couple of hours. =3

It’s 4 In the Morning…

I should listen to <<4 In the Morning>> by Gwen Stefani right now.

Haha, actually, I'm watching this Taiwanese drama. ROFL, it's so funny. <<命中注定我爱你>> Click if you want to watch. But one question… Why does all Taiwanese Dramas all talk about love or sex? I'm not objecting… JKJK Bahaha.. cough* Anyways, got to get back to watching. Teehee hee.

This will be a short blog. See ya.

Hong Kong Countdown: 19 Days

Asia Trip 2010

Wow, this week has been so busy I didn't post anything for 4 days consecutive days now. FAIL. Here's a fast sum up of the last 4 days.

Saturday, May 1, 2010:
Today, was a hectic day - working. Yes… sitting on a chair for 4 hours is considered hard work… (for your butt). I mean… trying to get up after that long period of time is not as easy as it seems. At 6, I drove myself home. Sigh* I wish I could get my license soon! All I have to master now is parallel parking. Damn… why is it so hard?! Other people make it seem like it's so easy to do. Anyways… At 7:30 I took the LRT to University. Train riders really change at night compared to the day time. Rowdy, and irresponsible adults cannot be missed – and of course, they get off at Corona. Why am I not surprised? Walking to Hudsons, I called Lara (to see if she's there yet – I don't want to be a loner at the bar). Entering the bar, I couldn't find her. Being dumbfounded, I suddenly realized there was a flight of stairs that led to the basement. Who knew Hudsons on Campus had a basement?! As the night went on, our table went um… how do I put it? – Crazy!!! Drop shots = Fail. Drop Shot #1: Jaggerbombs (At first it was just Lara doing it, but we all felt bad so we all ordered one just to comfort her. See, aren't we good friends?). 3…2…1… Drop --- Spills.. Let me tell you.. the shot glasses are the same height as the glass, so when you tilt it, the jagger doesn't flow properly into the energy drink. The double glass makes it impossible for you to not spill on the table. I actually drank all of the jagger first (somehow) and had energy drink as a left over. LOL at Lara though, she got jaggerbomb on the floor + table + on herself. The spilling drinks doesn't stop here folks! Drop Shot #2: Gladiator. This was much better. They didn't put as much fluid in the big glass compared to the first shot - so no drink spillage. Yay!! An accomplishment for the night. In between Nicole somehow spilled a Stella Atrois on herself. LOL. Strike 2. The funny thing is that she didn't even drink that night!! Drop #3: Gladiator. Ok… Rene was making fun of us before for spilling, lets see how he does… Oo… sorry Rene, you didn't do much better than us. Haha. Somehow, after cleaning our table for more than 5 times, the waitress tells us that drop shots aren't a good idea because of the glasses. Wow… you tell us now?! I mean shouldn't you have realized after the first 2 to warn us (I mean, she was cleaning off the table every odd minute). That ladies and gentlemen was spill #3. Spill #4 was made by Victor. I bought them all a round of pornstars (the drink.. for those who are perverted). He was drinking it then all of a sudden…. (Clink – Dribble*) Ooo… Waitress Come Back!!! In the end we ganged up on Lara; Victor and Tony bought her 3 martinis/margaritas. In total she had 9 drinks (w/ food).
----Lara wants to go to the bathroom----
LARA: Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom
(KEVIN, VICTOR, and TONY moves over)
(LARA steps on the floor…)
VICTOR and KEVIN: Are you ok?!
LARA: I'm fine.
(LARA takes a step… She wobbles… (like a penguin))
VICTOR, TONY, and KEVIN begins to laugh (LMFAO)
----Melissa then goes to check up on Lara----
You had to be there to see how funny it was. Victor had 6 drinks, I had 7.5 (since Shelly didn't finish hers), Rene had like 11?! I think…, Tony had 2? Yep. The bill of the night? $300. We went out for Chinese food at 1 in the morning. I didn't get back till like 2.

Sunday, May 2, 2010:
Had Dimsum and planned for cousins wedding. I'm the powerpoint dude. LOL
Oh, and the <<Shanghai Expo Opening Ceremony>> was on TV. It was so amazing. I loved it. Apparently they spent $1 Billion RMB on the Fireworks display. Hmm.. I don't think I would be able to make that much in my lifetime and yet they spend that much in just 30 minutes.

Monday, May 3, 2010:
Just worked for 8.5 hours. No big deal.

Today:
Can you believe it snowed today?! Ahh… Hopefully all that warm weather could melt the snow before Friday!!!
