Just in case I am lucky enough to get good marks in my law exams and can proceed to the next step ha ha ha... I took the required IELTS exams over the weekend. I asked around about the exam beforehand and was told not to worry. It turned out to be quite easy so I would be an idiot if I failed ha ha!! Oops I should have left that comment until I see my results!
Went with
to a nasty sushi restaurant called Meguro Sushi in Tseung Kwan O. Meguro Sushi stands next to Watami Japanese Restaurant (one of my favourite eateries) at the mall and last time we saw a long queue outside Meguro while we were queueing up for Watami.
insisted that we should go to Meguro this time. Ha ha it turned out to be a big mistake.
Despite a choice of around 100 sushis on the menu, the conveyor belt only carried less than 10 kinds of sushis, the 10 most popular ones like salmon, tamago, etc. We ordered extra sushi and they were all soso. I wish we had gone to Genki Sushi instead!!!

We also witnessed something rather disturbing. Normally sushis are covered by plastic covers while they travel around the restaurant like in the photo above. One takes the plate off the belt, removes the plastic cover and places it next to him. But at Meguro people flicked the plastic covers off the plates before taking them off the belt!! The plastic covers either stayed on the belt or they made a second layer of cover to the next plate! Omg! It was freaking revolting!!!
We had Chinese desserts after dinner and
ordered this mango and some red fruit drink which was disgusting. All in all it was a total bad food day for him ha ha!!!
To HKers of my generation : Why did the Govt turn Junk Bay into Tseung Kwan O?
I woke up at 7am on Saturday so I could get to the exam venue in Tsim Sha Tsui on time. I got there at 8am (exam at 8:45am) and the place was already pack with people. I never knew people were so keen to take exams ha ha! Anyway I had listening, reading and writing tests and I felt like it was primary school all over.
I waited for
to come meet me for lunch. He told me to go to the coffee shop but I went to the bar instead and I only found out that it was a bar after I had ordered my drink. Anyway we went to a Japanese restaurant when he finally arrived an hour later.
I had Oral test on Sunday and it was really funny:
Examiner : What kind of food do people in Hong Kong like?
Me : Um. Chinese food?
Examiner : *Waved his hand signalling me to carrying on*
Me : Oh. Like, sweet and sour pork, rice, stir fry vegetables and so on.
Ha ha! And more...
Examiner : Do you exercise regularly?
Me: Not really.
Examiner : Why is that?
Me : Because I am lazy.
Ha ha ha! Omg it was total BS. Anyway it was a test to see whether I could comprehend basic English. I hope I did ok ha ha!!
Spent a lot of quality time with my family this weekend. On Saturday my aunt hosted dinner for close friends and family at Golden Leaf. It was the first time that
was introduced as my fiancee. I found it embarrassing because I haven't got the ring yet ha ha! I just didn't see it coming! On Sunday Dad and I had lunch with
and his parents and they are all visiting Vancouver next February!!
Dad also visited our new flat and he looked quite pleased. I love it when my parent(s) come visit me. I get good food and I feel loved!!
