Ahoy from HK!

Hullo all.

Just thought I'd make a quick post. Currently in HK now, enjoying the nice food and weather :D I'm staying at my uncle's, and we have wifi here, so I'll still be able to be in email communication / IM communcation [if my jetlag holds up...]. These next few days we're gonna take care of shopping (YAY!), and then we might visit the more rural/local parts of HK. Be nice for photoshooting, and also learning and experiencing a bit of the actual history of Hong Kong.

Maybe I'll post more later. Excited to see everyone again in less than a month! O.o

here's one to the sun!

two things-

i haven't seen the strawberry swing video (i do want some strawberries... but i can't have them! read on for details).

i also want some kind of drink with gin!!! (i saw a recipe on 'living' in line @ bj's... looked MAD good!)

-----

so why can't i have strawberries?

well...... this story goes back to thursday- i got my bottom two wisdom teeth pulled out (eek!).

i did the local, instead of having the gas, so i was awake the whole time, but my mouth was numb.

beyond the fact that the drilling dental device made a scary sound (my surgeon also said something along the lines of 'uh i think i can still get that one out' at one point), and my mouth was incredibly sore (believe me) from being open the whole entire time, it was actually bearable.

i stopped bleeding at about an hour after the surgery (pretty good i think)! i got prescribed more motrin (now i have a giant stock of them @ home... from my mishap earlier this year and this 'oral surgery'), vicodin, penicillin, and some kind of anti-flammatory pills with this incredibly long name that i don't remember how to spell... pretty sure it starts with methyl. that's about it.

i took two motrins on the first day, and have been pain pill free since! woohooo! i think this year i've taken enough pain killers for my entire life! let's hope i never need them again!!! but i probably will... when i get my two top ones out (eek).

right now, my diet has been consisting of congee, congee and more congee, with some soup here and there. today, i added white bread and mashed potato to the variety. wohoo for me!

so, i skipped two days of work, and one overnight volunteering, and missed out on some gorgeous food all over the past three days. it's sad. i'm hungry. i want real food!!

first time ever in my life that i'm craving some bbq sausage and meat. it's just a little bit bizzare to say the least. and i always really want eggplant and asparagus, but that's not weird at all.

i tried to eat a meatball yesterday, but it took me about 10 minutes to consume the whole thing. i had to chop it up into tiny pieces and then swallow it with the aid of soup. man oh man, i can bearly taste it! i miss the flavor of meat... oh how thou melt in my mouth!!!!

i've always been eating a lot of icecream and yogurt. who knew yoplait had boston creme pie flavor. needless to say, it was SWEET. too sweet for my taste. i ate on bottle over the interval of about 45 minutes. yuck. i'm so sick of sugar.

i've been waking up two to three times per night to use the bathroom. too much liquid intake :(

speaking of which, i think i'll end this post here so i can go and ... use the potty =\

peace + <3,

-Mofei.

p.s. i just remembered why i named this post what it is :) it's sunny outside! and have been for a good week! (except for that spot of rain thursday) :) BEACH WEATHER indeed!

p.s.s. HAPPY AUGGIE!
