• MONDAY

  I had quite a busy day yesterday, compared to my usual days of home --> work --> home. Yesterday was home --> work --> Prince Edward --> Kowloon Tong --> Home.

  
  

   popped over for lunch. He is fat and does not like crowds so we usually go to The Lounge at Four Seasons. Here is a little secret in case you didn't already know : On weekdays The Lounge is only 70% full throughout lunch hours and you are bound to find a free table (a rarity in Central)!! We both had Hainanese chicken rice. The portion is usually just right for me, if not too little. But yesterday I was given a lot of chicken and I thought I was going to explode!!

  
  

  

  
  

  Lunch ended early at 1:30pm so I went to look around at Zara, intending to buy something since  said his business has been good! Ha ha! It is obviously less popular now that H&M is opened, although I believe they sell different things. The long queue outside the changing room is long gone. Anyway I got the big fitting room at the end on the right... Again! Hee hee!! I didn't buy anything though. I must have put on a lot of weight recently and I looked fat in everything I tried on! I looked pregant in all of them, but I am not really. I have asked  to sponsor 50% of my expenses on a trainer + gym membership fee once my exams are done. I need to lose 15kg - the weight I gained in the past 3 years!

  
  

  

  
  

  After work I went all the way to Prince Edward to try on a "sister dress". The building is called "Gum Doe" and it has nothing but shops relevant to weddings!

  
  

  

  
  

  "Sisters" at a Chinese wedding is like a lower grade bridesmaid. A "sister" has to do a lot of work for the bride, but she doesn't get to lead her up the isle, or have special treatments. So basically me and several others will be the bride's little slaves during the day of her wedding. It is ok so long as I can find someone to marry me and when it happens I can make my friends my little slaves too ha ha!! How evil!!

  
  

  My friend R the bride got her wedding gown and her bridesmaids dresses from a nicer shop, and she rented the "sister dresses" from a cheaper one. These gowns look ridiculous, and I assume are the best the shop can do since they are placed at the shop window. You can only imagine how lurrrrvly the ones I am wearing this Saturday! Can you see me with my camphone? Hee hee!

  
  

  

  
  

  After dress-fitting we went to R's house for dinner and a meeting to decide what games to play on the groom and his "brothers" (yes, the groom is getting his own gang of little slaves too). We were given a detailed hour-to-hour plan for the day. It was already 11pm when I was allowed to leave R's place, and I finally got home at 11:30pm and was absolutely knackered!!
