WAH! Fireworks!!! :D

Time: 9:03pm
Mood: Laaazy..
Song of the moment: Foo Fighters - Big Me

I finally bought my camera! Hooray! I ended up getting the Pansonic Lumix DMC-F9. It's a purdy camera :D Cost me a bloody arm and a leg.. but it's so damn nice! I've been playing around with it all day :D My Uncle Daniel and I headed up to Causeway Bay (again.. I swear I've been there every day I've been in HK!) to buy the camera. After shopping around, we found a place that gave me the best price. They even threw in an umbrella as a gift! HAHA what a bonus! LoL!

After that I met up with Freddy and we pretty much spent the entire day together. We stuck around Causeway bay. He took me to a lot of small malls that I would have never went to myself.. they sold strange stuff.. fobby stuff :s haha! We met up with Johny later that evening to catch the fireworks. Yesterday (October 1st) was China's national day, where they celebrated the founding of People's Republic of China. With any big Chinese celebration comes a huge fireworks display the night of. We headed to Wan Chai after dindin and OMG just the amount of ppl there was just insane! I felt like a cow being herded into a barn.. just massive amounts of people. It was so hot and humid too.. I just felt bloody uncomfortable. But man it was a great fireworks show! It was hilarous, before the fireworks started, Johny told me that Chinese people had a tendancy to say "WAAAH!" during the fireworks show.. and they say it in unison. He wasn't kidding. I found this quite entertaining and I even joined in.. partially to mock them but some of the fireworks were pretty spectacular! I love a good firework show (right Jimmy? heheh ;D). After the fireworks, and being herded out of the harbour area, we met up with Freddy's friend Joyce for dessert. It's good.. I got to practice my Chinese with her. I'm slowly getting less timid about speaking Chinese, but I still feel a bit uneasy :S

Today I was supposed to meet Johny for dinner but I had to cancel. Why? B/c it was SO friggin hot today! and smoggy.. I took a walk outside with my mom this afternoon and I felt so nasty! And it was a bit hard to breathe. So I wanted to just stay in and chill. It doesn't look to smoggy now.. it just rained (actually it began to T-storm right after I got off the phone w/ Johny! hahah). I donno what to do tomorrow.. I was thinking of chillin' but I did that today. Perhaps I should go make-up shopping tomorrow... :D

I'm really beginning to miss Jimmy a lot. His internet is down.. so he's never online :( And we talk on the phone.. probably every other day but not for too long.. I can't wait til he gets here! 17 more days til my baby comes to HK! Hooray! :D
