After the long, tiring (for me) hike yesterday, Hazel gave me an option of going for the late morning service. I told her I’ll see if I could wake up in time…and thanks to my jetlag, I did! Woke up in time to attend the first service with Hazel (Paul was playing drums). We thought we were late but we were just in time. I couldn’t really walk any faster (aftermath of hike!) but had to tahan to keep up with Hazel.
Yes, I woke up to aches and pains.
Over doing the “pretending to not know her photo is being taken”.
I was perspiring in service, too.
We were reminded in the service that our PRIMARY duty before God is to LOVE Him.
“Let’s go back this way.”
Hazel had a meeting after service and Paul continued playing drums for the next service – I went exploring a little but stopped short when it started raining. I went back to Délifrance to have something to eat (I didn’t think I could last till 點心) and to have a place to kill a bit of time.
Are the buildings really high up or the clouds down low?
Watching life in HK – this was at about 1230pm but it was raining, so the sky looked gloomy.
I was on this overhead bridge for a long time. I was contemplating whether to ask these bunch of ladies picnicking along the bridge, if I could take their photo. I see more and more ladies coming up the bridge, placing cardboards boxes or cloth or plastic sheets on the side of the bridge. Selamba ajer. I guessed that they were foreign maids and it was their day off – Hazel confirmed that but didn’t want to be part of my “ask and take photo” plan.
What’s the fuss? What’s the queue about?
To get to the elevators…
Screens to inform you of the elevators status and position. Smartly dressed people (in suits, no less!) to make sure that every elevator is maximised to reduce waiting time.
Even though we had reservations, we had to wait. We were also late for our reservation lah. I told you, I couldn’t really walk any faster…
Super Star!
Lovey dovey…
…there seem to always be a “hmmph” photo as the second snap one lor, I also don’t know why. This one is as if they were hand-fighting to see who can get to the fried mini ikan bilis first.
Very posh looking place.
My toilet experience killed my first impression – all toilets were down. The lady manning the toilet had to flush them manually.
Wooohooo! What a way to start the posting of 點心 photos. *haha*
Por and FeR
Mini-ish 蛋撻. Just nice that each one of us had one.
“My favourite!” and a squeak.
Yummy 炸俩 (it’s called char leung, right?)
蘿蔔糕 (err…right? Fried turnip cake?)
She already had something in her mouth but look at how she’s looking at the 燒賣.
Granted, we were all hungry!
My favourite! *squeak!*
I told them both that it’s either the lack of 燒賣 in Hastings that’s making me feel that it was the BEST 燒賣 ever or it was really that the 燒賣 in HK is better. They told me it was the latter.
菠蘿叉燒包
Now this, I don’t remember the name. Dessert with dark sesame paste in it.
Look at Hazel’s expression…*hehe*
After 點心, we left for the street that sells dried stuff. No idea what’s the name because I followed Hazel only. Had to walk in the rain for a bit because it was either then or never.
See? This is proof that Paul was there.
The boss asked Hazel, “Hey, your husband didn’t come with you this time?”
Happy to get some dried scallop – I have no idea how to choose them so I refrained from taking any samples.
Jars of dried abalone and sea cucumbers.
The bill for everything came out to thousands of dollars!
*pengsan*
Home time!
