CNY Holiday!!!

There's one thing that all students do best: Counting down to holidays!
It doesn't matter if you are in primary/ secondary/ tertiary education... heck, you may be a working adult and you are mentally counting down to the next public holiday every single day!

So obviously in Hong Kong, Chinese New Year is a biggie so people here gets the first 4 CNY days off from work. Some companies also give the CNY eve off, or at least a half day off.

Long story short, my Thursday class got cancelled since it's in the afternoon, which is counted as the half day off for CNY eve. I HAVE CNY BREAK FROM THIS THURSDAY TO NEXT THURSDAY =O Which is a lot of days off because that means I get 8 days off!!! (CNY eve to 6th day of CNY) To do absolutely nothing!!! So exciting!!!!

Kicking off my week by completing something off my list: Eating at that noodle shop at the back alley in Shek Tong Tsui. We chanced upon it that time we were walking around Sai Wan to buy food items for the homeless. I'm not sure how shops are survive with the location being so hidden away from the main road, but seems like they rely mostly on frequent and loyal customers...
Just look at the type of material used for the chopsticks and you'll know what type of establishment this is... The texture of the noodles is just right, but since it's not a Teochew noodle shop (the norm in HK), the chili lacks that special kick... Not sure if I'll be back since it's out of the way and I don't usually hang around that part of town. 

Anyways what more to do than to visit Living Plaza (Daiso in HK term) before heading home?
