Discovery Bay

Hellu!
Well. . . still no work nor castings hehe, but i have been to discovery bay atleast! Oh and an 80's Party haha.
Discovery bay:
Claire and I woke up one morning and stayed in bed till like 2pm which is when we were supposed to meet Aleksandra and Kaspar at Palace IFC.
We came a bit late so they were a bit pissed off but that quickly blew over haha.
Neither claire no i had eaten breakfast yet though. . .
We walked to the ferry pier and grabbed a ferry over to Discovery bay, on Lanthau Island.
As soon as we arrived i grabbed a small mcdonalds burger with french fries and coke.
Claire ate most of the fries and i ate the burger, during the promenad up a long road toward a waterfall Kaspar used to play in when he was about my age.
Discovery Bay is like. . . the Island of the white man. It looks a lot more western and the majority were probably westerners as well hehe.
It was nice, felt a lot calmer and fresher, kind of reminded me of the times back in america. . . but with highrise appartment buildings, and ofc more intense heat hehe.
Well after a bit of a walk up the road, Kaspar showed us a place where we had to climb over a fence and walk a bit off road jumping from rock to rock over a tiny tiny stream. Eventually the rocks ended and we waded barefoot in the stream, had to be a bit careful though because the stones were a bit slippery in the water.
Claire and especially Aleksandra were having problems haha, lagged a bit behind, had to lend a helping hand :P. . . . girls. . .
Well we finally got up to a tiny rainfall with families swimming around in the pool of water where it waterfall fell into. . . . .. actually i wouldn't call it a waterfall. . . just a fast stream of water flowing down a crack in a big rock i guess hehe. Wasn't higher than say 3 - 5 meters :P Nothing like in norway really hehe.
Well the water felt amazing after that sweaty hike. . . . uugh i loved it! so cooling, it was like laying in "Loftet" at our country house, waiting for the heat to become unbearable, then run down to the water and jump in.
After a while of playin around in the mini waterfall and pool of water, we started climbing upwards.
After a short climb we found another waterfall, and here there was no one, but us. That was niiiiice.
After the swim, we headed back to the ferry pier and headed back to hong kong island.
The reason we headed back so early, was because Kaspar offered to take us to the club his father owns in hong kong (He's freakin loaded! i mean like LOADED!) I wonder how i keep meeting these people. . .
ANYWHO!!!! We took a cab to the club which was about halfway up towards the peak me and Claire checked out before.
Apparently there's a 5 year waiting list to join the club and the amount you have to pay to become a member. . . was something insane hehe. (Yeh it's not a nightclub, it's a . . . club. . .like in singapore)
Well we walked in, sat down at a table ordered food, I got a sirloin steak with white wine, Claire got grilled salmon with white wine, Kaspar got the steak and Aleksandra got the salmon.
After the meal which was delicious (The Mustard burnt like wasabi), we headed to the youth room and fooled around for a bit. I played Kaspar at table tennis and got completely CRUSHED, then i crushed everyone at the foozball table, and then i finally got completely crushed at table hockey :P
After the games we headed to the Club's Sports bar and i crushed everyone in Pool. Finally we all sat down to watch the ending ceremony of the olympics, i went through a few beers as well.
The reason i had to hang up on you mom was because the manager was sitting opposite us and kaspar told me mobile phones were prohibitted. . . so i wasn't trying to avoid the call hehe ;)
After the Long freakin closing ceremony Claire and I headed home.
Before we went home though we stopped at the kebab place and i bought another kebab roll mwahahahhahahhaha looove it! I've said this before, n i'll say it again, one thing that was up there on the "Miss-from-home-list" top in singapore, were Kebab Rolls!!!!! So i'm eating shitloads here :D
After the kebabroll, Claire bought some sorbet from the Hagen Das, and i bought some "Fish food" Icecream from the Ben n Jerry's. . . .. . trust me. . . if you haven't tried fish food. . . do it now. . . no really. . . go buy some NOW. . . . NOOOOW!!! I'm all for vanilla, it's ALWAYS vanilla, but in this case, fish food is an exception, that icecream is TOO good. Melted marshmallows, little chocolate fishes and the most scrumptious chocolate those receptors on your tongue will ever have the pleasure of forwarding to your brain.
After this oral orgasm we both headed home for some sleepy time.
This morning we woke up. . . actually, Claire woke up and headed off to a casting -> fitting -> photoshoot. . . . . . .. . . .. . .. . .. .i had NOTHING!. . . . . NOTHING!. . . . . shitbags. . .
Well at around 1pm i got ready and headed to central to meet claire for lunch at "Kosmo". It's this health freak cafe thing, they serve all kinds of health enhancing drinks, slushees, juices, etc. The food is the same.
I settled for Meatballs + pasta with a drink containing various chinese herbs + various fruits :P Supposed to help my immune system. . . .yay. . .
Claire went for Chickpeas, kidneybeans, corn, etc salad. . . pretty much what we've been living on here at home.
Well it was filling and hey i guess it's healthy so i can't complain ;) Tasty with some meatballs again as well hehe.
Afterwards we headed to Claire's agency so she could pick up a job voucher, then back to central where we headed to H&M for some shopping.
I ended up buyin a grey hoody. . .. clothes are way cheaper here in hong kong. . . and they have a lot. . . so maybe i'll jsut go all out during my last week here, money's meant to be spent ;) even rhymes. . .
After taking farewell of claire who was heading to her shoot, i headed back home and walked over to the agency to cash out last weeks allowance (Was going to do it last friday, but we had a typhoon warning 9 goin on so. . . that wasn't possible). As usual they complained about my tan. . . same thing in singapore. . .. i can't help it. . . . you guys know how it is hehe ;)
After the short visit i headed back to cannon street and wandered about for a while looking for a backpack. . . still haven't settled for one :P But i like a Dakine one, which would be nice during snowboarding as well.
After walking around for a bit i headed back home to fill my facebook with all the photos we've been taking during the past few days, so check it out ;)
Well. .. . now claire's come back and we're waiting till about 8.30 which is when we will be heading to Dragon I for free dinner and a bit of wine, don't think it'll be a big one but ya never know ;)
Lotsa Love to you all

PS.
Lena
Yeeeees, ofc! My Godmother can't read my blogg? UNACCEPTABLE! hehe, no problem, it's nice with a change everynow and then anyway ;)
Aaaaw i've actually missed the entire Olympics. . . only thing i saw was the ending. . . we haven't really figured out the television in our apartment hehe, which is just as well, i mean we're not here to watch television ;)
I did hear sweden did good though, and i shouted out when i saw the swedish flag in the sportsbar during the ceremony hehe
Haha yes, i do find myself often wondering where would i rather be? In the shifting weathers of sweden or in the blazing heat of asia?. . . . .. i'm actually pretty sure i'm more for the cold hehe, although it is true, even i get aches everynow and then hehe ;)
Well hope to hear from you soon again!
Lots of love!

Farfar
Aaaah yes. . . maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to sit on the computer during the typhoon. . .. . . or well typhoon is just a lot of rain and heavy winds. . . . havne't heard any thunder in hong kong at all actually. . . .. hmmm. . ..
I do remember your previous encounters with thunder and computer hehe. . . .
Hahahaha loved the picture comments, many were very true, ofc we started our own popband, it's called Rainbow Paradise Songs, and we're actually pretty good!
