Afterwords Salina and I walked back to my place so I could quickly change and drop off my laptop. We left and took the taxi to Causeway bay to have dinner at the "Causeway Way Salty Crab" Restaurant with some people from work. We had so many things, 9 dishes! Every course because more peculiar than the next. We started out with scallops, crab, and salt+pepper squid. Then, I was encouraged to try some new foods that I've never eaten in my life. LOL. I had some humungous Oysters which tasted good. Eel that tasted just as good but the bones are TINY! Thousand Year egg that I took one bite of and I was done. And.... Snails! Ahh, it didn't taste too bad but just the thought of eating snails kind of made me cringe. If someone wouldnt have told me it was snails and it was taken out of its shell already, I wonder if it would have been more appetizing. LOL
After dinner my friends and I walked to this bar in Causeway bay. I wasn't really in the mood to drink there because it was minimum 150HKD if you ordered. Instead Treyna and I went take the MTR back to central to go clubbing! We were looking for this club called Volume. We were lost for a good 20 minutes but ended up finding it. OMG, i don't know if it was because I was super drunk and I was looking forward to going to the club, but this place was fun. It played techno music, kind of like the club neighbours back at home, but this was way better. I bought 2 drinks but also they were handing out free shots of vodka around by the waiters! OMG free alcohol, forreal?? Shoot. I had a good time, dancing. Geez, if "knocks you down" by Keri Hilson would have came on, I would have flipped out!! I wish it would have played, but oh well. Oh yeah, and I kinda kissed a stranger, eh. I have the person's number though! hahahaha.
As I was walking back home from Lan Kwai Fong, I had to take the escalators back up. Oh.. but wait... CONVENIENTLY, they shut off the escalators at 12AM. WTF? Whos great idea was that. Alot of people go clubbing, and wouldn't it be more sensible to keep them on!? During the walk back up, LOL, i had drunk dialed my friend Alyssa back at home in the states. She was laughing her ass off. Geez!! but anyways, what should have been a 10 minute escalator ride, was much more. Half way, i was like.. FUCK THIS, I'm getting a cab back to my place, which I did. LOL, i was still pretty buzzed at this time. I just remember wavign my hand at a taxi cab, going in, saying "Robinson Road 17 mgoi sai", sitting in the seat. LOL. When I got home, Celly was up and I felt bad becaues i think she was waiting up for me! Iremembered drunk IMing people, geez.
The morning came and I had to get ready for going to Macau (the las vegas of asia). This 2 day expedition was much needed. The first day we stayed at the Grand Lapa hotel. Really nice there! The lobby is really nice and our room was very comfortable. We were supposed to have lunch at this restaurant outside the hotel, but they wouldn't let me in! WHY? Because i was wearing shorts and flip flops. So annoying. Its 90 degrees out and I'm not trying to wear pants and shoes like I do during the week day. We ended up going to this portuguese restaurant where I had spinach and chorizo soup, Steamed bass, cod, and rice. SO good! We went back to the hotel. The resort had so many things to do. I ended up swimming in their swimming pool. They had a water slide and a waterfall. So nice! The also have tennis courts, a gym, rock climbing walls, etc. OMG their pool boy was so cute! Ahh! So BOMB!! He had this swagger to him and he walked like it. Geez!!! Later that night I went to the spa. I had used their sauna, jacuzzi, and steam room. Their steam room was really nice! It had eucaliptus or SOMETHING steaming. Afterwards, I went to get an aromatherapy massage. It was sooo relaxing and smelled so good! I must have fallen asleep many times during the session. The lady was filipno. How do I know? Because she kept saying my last name correctly. LOL, I asked her and she siad yes! are you? LOL. later on that night Another guy asked if I was filipno, because he saw me write my name on a bill. THere are HELLA filipnos in Hong Kong.
The next morning, We went to lunch at the dimsum restaurant in the hotel. It was really nice and the food was pretty good. I learned some Hong Kong etiquette. Like for example, when you receive tea and its being poured, you have to do this tapping motion on the table. It's a way of showing thanks apparently. We went to Macau with my ninang and her friends Louis and Therese. They are really nice people, and have british accents so cool. Louis speaks cantonese fluently, and he's been trying to teach me! After lunch we walked around and gambled some. I doubled my money, about 60 HKD. LOL about 10 USD. Afterwards we headed to another hotel to check in. We stayed at the Venetian Hotel. Everything is so grand there. Ive been trying to plan a macau trip with Nicole, Fiona, and Emily! I had good and bad luck with gambling. I was up 500HKD in the tables, and ended up losing 400 of it and walked away with only 100HKD. Later I ended up losing 500 more HKD playing blackjack. Ugh, then i stopped. I ended up shopping in the venetian hotel canal malls. There were so many sales going on! I ended up picking up a few things from FCUK (french connection united kingdom) and the nike store. I had to sleep early because I had to take a ferry back to Central HK at 7:30 so i could go to work at 10. yay.
