super lazy me... wanted to write more in Dec but ended up like the previous months... and again if something happened and i didn't drop it down within a few days, i kinda forget what had happened already.... also sometimes i wonder what should i write down here cos i'm not really sure who's visiting my blog, i dun want to share my private life with someone i dunno or even not my close frds, so... sometimes i rather write things in general and surface.
so 22nd-26th was my Las Vegas trip! i have never been there b4... this is my 2nd major trip in 2007. (1st one was Thailand trip in April) chose to go this place was b/c this city is so well-known in the world, also it's not very far away, so i gotta visit it at least once before i go back to HK! Many ppl had given me many advices before i go, i can really tell a lot of ppl had been there!! But travelling is always like this, what ppl tell you is one thing, what you experience is another. So we arrived Vegas at about 6pm on 22nd, it was cold but i was prepared. While we were thinking if we shall take the taxi to the hotel, a shuttle bus driver came over and offered to take 5 of us to our hotel for $45, me and step were like... WTH, i can add a bit more to take a limo with that, dun try to kwon us man!! So we ended up taking the taxi and it cost less than $15. oh ya we also gave like $3 tips to the taxi driver and he looked very unhappy -_-... haha so this was our 1st Vegas experience. We waited like 30-40 mins for the check-in b/c of the long lineup, we finally got our 西廂天字第一號房 - the far-est hotel room we ever had (and is in 17th floor, 19th is the highest). I guess it took us 10-15 mins to walk from the lobby through the casino and slot machine and take the elevator and walk to the rooms. So our entertainment for the night was going to the O show by Cirque du solie @Ballagio. The ticket was US$165 and we were sitting in the 2nd row!!!! we bought the tickets two months ago... it's really a famous show. After the show, i finally realized why those performers would dream to come to Vegas to perform, b/c everything is really in a world class level. especially the stage... it is so advanced.

Went to high tea @DT with a girl who is my boss's client's daughter, same age as me and she's interested in pursuing the CFP destination, so she would like to have more information from me. The first impressive she gave me was she is a quite aggressive girl who chases for the things she wanted, i found it very interesting to talk to her becuz she's the type of girl that's so different from my friends, she's aggressive and strong, working woman type, somehow she lightens up my desires too. We chatted and went shopping together afterwards, quite a weird feeling though cuz this is the first time i met this girl and we went shopping for few hours..... anyways i bought lots of stuff cuz i was so exciting to have my very first year end bonus in my life, haha. After that i met up with ben and the girls to dinner @ Zakkushi, haven't been there for awhile, seems like the food selections have decreased...:(

first snow this yr
SAT: another day of exam. like before this is a 4-hour exam, no break in between, i almost break my neck after the exam. -_- sometimes i wonder why do we get to write so many exams in our life? non-stop exams since elementary... i guess there's gotta be something existed in the world to seperate those ppl who're qualified and those who're unqualified i guess? anyways after the exam went to lunch immediately cuz i was freaking hungry, then we were supposed to meet up Terence and Sing @Costco and grocery shopping for the house warming party tonight, however the snow got heavier and heavier so we needed to switch car and it took us another 45 mins. So we ended up go to his house directly. Terence's new home is pretty nice, new and warm. but it's a bit too far for us to just go MJ from now on, haha. So after dinner they started to play the very exciting monopoly and I helped Nianci to bath Michelle~ Michelle is getting big now but still very cool, she doesn't smile easily :( So the climax of the night was they played monopoly for FIVE HOURS in total and still get very excited about it. Carrie and i was like... errr... what the hell -_-". haha
SUN: heavy heavy snow, non-stop snowing for whole day.... usually under such an extreme weather i would go nowhere but stay home, unfortunately promised Ray to go watch Avril Lagvine with him so me and Ben went out in this "wonderful" weather and watch the OUTDOOR concert @ Swanguard. the concert was supposed to be started at 1pm and Ray said we should go at 10am. of cuz we banned the idea. so we went there at around 11ish almost 12, and the line up was like 5 km long already. around 1ish we finally got into the stadium and very lucky found some seats as well, but i was getting freaking cold and my feet were frozen already. wait and wait and wait... Avril still didn't show up due to the traffic jam. finally she appeared at around 2ish and sang like 9-10 songs. she sang live better than i expected, but i wanted to leave after the 3rd or 4th song cuz i was damn cold -_- it was a very good experience cuz i never tried it b4, however i dun think i'll try again in the future especially it's under HEAVY SNOW, OUTDOOR and the concert is FREE!!! idiot ray.
look at the snow, i guess there were 500 ppl in front of us and 500 ppl behind us
there she go... we were sitting at the top, but we went down afterwards, very heavy snow though, i felt like i was an idiot
