while e2 is showering and I'm waiting for the laundry to be done...

we have flowers in the apartment and groceries in the fridge (e2 was inspired after watching nigella lawson on tv last night)...

I'm stressed and tired physically and mentally...

Will have to try waking up earlier to wander around the city alone... and maybe go out at night after dinner on a few nights....

Today.. we went to the Tin Hau Temple, browsed in the Central Library, had a leisurely stroll around Victoria Park (except for the foot reflexology part =P and we're saving the Flower Exhibition for the long weekend and e1), walked through Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, took in the view from the HK Exhibition and Convention Centre, dropped by the HK Arts Centre, then it was back to Soho to get groceries and dinner and do the laundry.

I tried to buy HK film fest tickets. I'm Not There is sold out but I manged to get seats for Appleseed: Ex-Machina and City without Baseball. Should have just booked tickets online the day I found out about it. Sigh. Anyways, go see the entries for the appleseed trailer remix contest.

Tomorrow morning I will head to the railway station to get my ticket to Shanghai. Should be getting the hard sleeper as the extended stay here and a bit of shopping has left me rather short on HKD =( I should have a bit of time after that to walk around tsim sha tsui before my movie (about a permanent part-timer in Tokyo, haha) at 1230 at the science museum. By then e2 should be up and done with her 'stocking' and hopefully she can find her way to meet me for lunch then we can go see the art and history museums (free on Wednesdays!) till evening, then have dinner and view the skyline and maybe that light show thingy YL mentioned before taking a ferry back to hk island.

I have to say I still do like the place, just have to find the right state of mind... Will try to expand on the what-i-did-today paragraph when I have more time on the comp... now to download/upload the photos and collect laundry!
