Day 5

Man these blogs take freaking forever to post. The setup of blogger blows. Oh well to late to change now.

Anyways... So since i got home at 5... I still had to wake up at 12. Big ass hangover and headache.... I am not looking forward to Friday. I'm gonna get destroyedd on my birthday in HK... sigh.

Morning ritual ensued except we ate lunch first before visiting grandma. Didn't meet up with everyone until around 4pm.

Saw this guy getting Booked for illegal parking. Oh well clearly he didnt care...

We basically wandered around causeway bay today. Nothing really exciting for the first part except we went to Uniqlo for the 11th billion time and bought some random stuff.

Can you find everyone?

#1 Uniqlo Fans. The angry jap guy makes an appearance once again...

Took a break at Hiu Lau San.. I think thats how you spell it. Basically a dessert place famous for its mango stuff. Ok Comments please... what the hell is that a picture of on the cup? A mango..? A chicken? Wht the heck..

Ok. So after this. We brilliantly decided to go to Giordano. With Ben, Sean, Wayne, Carson, Joanne and Winnie. Please not 5/7 of us are graduates of accounting.... What should have been a 15 minute shopping visit turned into an hour of epic fail...

Its gonna sound dull to those who weren't actually there but to recap what the hell we wasted our time on.

$500 HKD spent at Giordano = 10% off the purchase in addition to a "membership" to Giordano.

$800 HKD spent at Giordano = 1 free MAN PURSE thats right... we did this for a freaking man purse.

So we had roughly $1200 HKD worth of stuff between the lot of us. Easy enough right? 10% off and then Murse in hand and out we go. Nope.. So what happened ended up being that we got a choice! yayyy..

For the receipt on the right (aka the regular priced items) we could have gotten 30% off but we would have to give up the bag. To get BOTH the 30% off and the bag we would need to buy another $240 HKD of stuff. So after first taking 10 minutes deciding between what we wanted to do, we ran around the store looking for more clothes to add to the bill. (marketing at its best anyone? we're just suckers) And even after that it took 5 accountants to figure out if it was worth it... to this day it will forever be a mystery on whether or not we should have wasted all that time.

So I was nominated to pay for the entire bill to make things "easier." So we first had to pay for all the "discount" items first ($800 HKD and the receipt on the right) and that was when i got my "membership". HK is pretty cool in that they dont give you stupid cards for your discount. What they asked was for was the cellphone number which you punched into the pin pad followed by a password etc which you could use each time you went in.

So since we all bought sim cards none of us knew our own phone numbers and also thought we would ever use this stupid membership again. So i was told to "enter a random phone number".. So i did......

Now came time to apply the 30% discount to the clothes that hadn't been put through yet.

Service Clerk: "Ok sir. Please enter in your cell phone number"

Us: ..... *face palm

Anyways. This could have caused some serious fail. But lucky i'm so AWESOME (yes i did just pat my own back) that i managed to remember the random 8 digit number i inputted. So all in all after 1 hour of fail of epic proportions we paid for everyone and left for dinner.

Was it Worth it? We'll never know....

Dinner was extremely lackluster (all thanks to Jenn's terrible recommendation =P), but they're supposed to be famous for their HK style Tea which I was informed of until after I got my drink...

Food was pretty terribad... not gonna lie.

So after that, I didn't even remember where i lived and took the group in circles trying to get back to my ghetto-apartment so that sean could check his email. Anyways... heres a photo of how ghetto my place looks from the outside. And the video shows how small it is with people.

If you thought sean and wayne's place was ghetto. Even sean agreed my place is madd sketch. Dark damn alleyway just to get to front door... Ladies i do NOT recommend this for you.

After that we decided to keep it low-key, to save energy for tomorrow... cuz... i'm gonna get rocked. I hate you all in advance (those that are here). So most likely... no post tomorrow but since i'll be in bed all day sat... i'll make it happen then. Anyways after 2 hours of blogging/essay-writing here are some pics from our tram ride. They're all taken from the top level of the Double level tram (DOUBLE LEVEL ALL THE WAY.... what does it mean...?)

And.... thats me out cold on the tram ride.. This is pretty much gonna be me tomorrow night. Have mercy people. Have mercy...
