It amazes me how well Matt and I slept on the mini double bed in my room in HK. I had never been the kinda girl who snuggles up to her guy and could only fall asleep if she’s intertwined with and became a human extension of her partner. I used to need A LOT of my own space. Doesn’t matter I’m a skinny girl. If I turn on my side and my arm could touch you, you’re too near, I’m sorry. I could never fathom sharing a Queen-sized bed with a partner, let alone one of the size I’m sleeping on now.
However, with Matt, falling asleep in each other’s arms and staying that way for the whole night has became a norm. Haha, I guess it’s not as bad as I thought. Karen used to freak out at how adamant I was about not wanting to be touched when I was asleep and I had always been like that until Matt. Now I have to eat my words.
My current bed actually even felt a little spacious over the weekend that Matt was here.
Ok. Mush.
Anyhow, Angel, Larry, Matt and I went for, according to Angel, a greasy spoon breakie at The Flying Pan. It’s apparently quite popular in HK and true enough, we had to wait for a while in the full restaurant even though it was 12.30pm and it only serves breakfast. All day. 24/7. What a lovely concept. I’ve always wanted a all-day breakie restaurant in SG!
And it was YUMMY! Matt and I ordered the monster portion to share and we could finish it (mostly his doing lah. I do the ordering and he does the eating.) and a waffle with vanilla ice-cream and maple-syrup too!

It tasted as good as it looked!
We spoke to the American owner and I first noticed her because of her very Parisian dressing and her gorgeous turquoise necklace, not realising she’s the boss. She spoke to us for a fair bit and Matt and I thought she reminded us of Sarah Jessica Parker/Carrie Bradshaw because of her longish face, facial expression, dirty-blonde hair and her sense of style.

Matt was amazed at how EVERY building in HK that's undergoing construction is held by Chinese bamboos.
After brunch, Matt and I took a cab up to The Peak. Not to catch the view. But to exchange a faulty toy helicopter which he bought from a shop at The Peak the night before. Like seriously. I know.
And since we were there, may as well do touristy duties like posing and taking pictures.

We then figured out a bus we could take down from The Peak. So within 15 hours, we had taken a tram, bus and cabs up and down The Peak. How efficient are we.

I love my ferry rides!
I then brought him to take a ferry ride but we were just trying not to fall asleep from the very oily and filling brunch. Reached back home, showered, packed, had an hour of nap and woke up to rush to IFC (International Financial Centre. The tallest building in HK) to check in and then take the Airport Express train.
The feeling of knowing you’re gonna be separated soon truly sucks. We didn’t even have time to have dinner together and Matt had to get to the boarding gate already. I went to get dinner on my own at fast-Chinese-food restaurant Fairwood where no one speaks a word of English or Mandarin, sat there on my own and basically just wallowed in self-pity. Hahahaha
But I dropped at Central after the airport, went to H&M (for the second time. hee) and felt better after just purchasing a belt. Matt gave me his leftover HKD and told me to get something for myself as a gift from him and the belt only costs a very small fraction.
So I went to Ikea (after getting tremendously lost) the next day to purchase a nice pink work table instead and the price was just nice with what Matt gave me! So yayy, I’ve got a pink table (need to buy my yellow foldable chair too that will match my polka-dotted pink seat cushion) coming tomorrow evening and I can stop using my MacBook on the bed, causing me an insurmountable amount of pain that I’m bearing with now 24/7.
Alright, gonna send another two work emails and hit the sack. Had an extremely busy work day with rather fulfilling retail purchases (I hope Matt doesn’t read this). Good night pals…
