HK: day 5 & 6

forgot to update yesterday, got home and was buggered as.

mum couldnt make her up mind what to do, so my mum, porpor and i went to the other appartment to meet the two girls & my aunties. everyone else was at the rugby 7s... from there we went to the local mall again, and while my aunty jane got a haircut (talk about transformation!!) i spent a bucketload (not really) on two dresses, lots of fake eyelashes, some MAC eyeshadow and a brush set for steph. was fun cos it was like a mini market within the shopping centre.

after that my mum & i went to langham place, which is the 5 star hotel we usually stay at, and used their free internet LOL. such a local that i know which hotels have free business centres :P then we shopped a bit at the plaza, found a MAC stall which was good!! then after we got sick of that we headed to the markets where i found myself a few more underground tiffany & chanel stalls and spoilt myself (and my frends) silly.

then we went to 'times square HK' for dinner with some relatives. was heaps stoked to do 'earth hour' but forgot about it over dinner cos we were all starving!!

my poor dad is sick, with a headache and a fever. to be honest i just think he's sick of my mum's brothers & sisters. i dont blame him... lots of dramas with my family, so glad we dont live in NZ.

TODAY was a different story. woke up with no plans on what to do, was prepared to just stay in bed all day. but then i found out that we had an inside connection for free tickets to the rugby sevens, jumped at the opportunity because tickets are worth like $200AUD each!! so we quickly got ready and headed to Hong Kong stadium, just missed Australia play England, they lost :( semi glad i wasnt in there to witness it... i semi loathe going to football games cos i get so annoyed at the opposing team's supporters lol esp. if theyre posh old englishmen/woman!! im sure they say the same about us aussies though. anywaysss after all this dramarama we finally got in, watched fiji NARROWLY beat south africa (harharr!) then just chilled for a while. all in all it was a good day, some of us where situated right in the fiji crowd who were going nuts, but the rest of us including me went all the way to the top. good view, could see the whole field...

fiji lost against NZ. finals was between NZ and samoa, samoa made a killer comeback in the 2nd half to win by 2 points. australia won the cup finals which is like lower division, it felt good cheering from them. shoulda heard the whole crowd booing them, i swear no one likes australia lol we're just too good haaaa not. the best team to watch though was HK, the whole crowd loved them!! it was so overwhelming, i'd hate to have been playing against them, the poor italians in the semis and russians in the finals... the crowd was full booing whenever they scored etc.

the highlights of the day would have definately been the mexican wave, started by the fiji stand, which circled around the stadium 3 times!! it was so much fun. the second would be this man that ran onto the field and climbed the goal post, and then pretended to surrender but then outran like 5 seccie guards LOL! funny as.

after that went for dinner with the same relatives as last night, and here i am now.

overall it was a good day filled with laughs with my cousins & fambam. definately keen to go to wellington sevens which is apparently x49380293 better, but more about the social scene and less about the sport.

tomorrow am headed to shengzu or something, a little town on the border of HK & china. apparently they have good shopping there so we'll see how it goes. so yerh might not be online for a while, but i thiiink i heard my dad saying that the internet there was free so fingers crossed!!!!

until next time
