Today I drove Phoebe to Jalan YapKwanSeng and paid for her last payment.
She is 100% mine from today onwards…and I’m contemplating getting rid of her. Not in the cant-wait-to-get-rid-of-her-ugh sense but more like thinking about how it’s not feasible for me to keep her when I’m only going to be back once a year or less. The current arrangement is not looking well because she’s not exactly being kept in tip-top condition (sad but true).

I want to bask in this moment for as long as possible – that I have some kind of property (albeit a depreciating one *hehe*) – but I have to be practical. Everyone’s telling me that I have to be. Everyone’s saying it’s just a car (ooo! Don’t let Phoebe hear this or she may sulk!) but I have a hard time even when THINKING of letting her go because she’s my first purchase. First BIG purchase and commitment. It’s been 5 years – that’s quite some time, y’know.

I really hate to be practical at this very moment.

Check-in online.

Hazel showed me her scrapbooking stash and also asked me to write something in their guestbook (guestbook weiii! Don’t play play! *hehe*). I thought I would look into her sticker collection and nip one or two but didn’t really dare to lah! So sayang. Anyway, I did steal a few coloured hearts.

“Romantic” walkway between OlympianCity and ParkAvenue.

Outside the concierge.

CNY decoration.

The last view from the room that was my space for the past few days.

Random – plum flowers lining the sides of escalators.

Last day in HK and I FINALLY got to see some blue skies. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long.

And the sun came out for a while, too!

Blue skies WERE there…but the clouds quickly covered it as I got out of bed and reached for the camera.

After dumping all the shopping back at Poreiz’s place, I headed out again to meet HongHui and ChoiFong for dinner. HongHui had class till 5pm (wooohoo! Back to school!), so we were planning to meet at 530pm at Admiralty station. I think I was late…because he offered to meet me at Central instead and we went to TaiKoo station. I had no idea where I was going, I was just following the leader.

He said I could spot him easily because he had a backpack and (at that time I didn’t understand what he meant) a nasal inhaler (because he was unwell) – it took me a while, especially when I can’t see clearly (neither can he because he’s unwell)…and even when I THOUGHT I saw him, I had to walk (almost) right into his face before I could go, “HELLO!”

Hong said it is their favourite restaurant and the mall was ChoiFong’s favourite haunt when they were staying in the old apartment.

He was surprised there was a long queue even though we arrived earlier than normal dinner time.

Serving #150. What was our ticket? #162?
