Another year older, closer to 30... My gosh, Im gonna have gray hair soon! Well maybe not yet at 23, at least I hope not. Thanks for all the postcards and emails, it was really nice to receive mail! :) Even though Im still wondering where the big presents are...?! Maybe theyre still on their way...?;) But as I still enjoy birthdays I decided to celebrate properly this year and dedicate the whole weekend for myself :) Weve been meaning to go to HK Disneyland (yes, there is one here) for ages already so since it was my birthday weekend and they have evening tickets for pretty much half price (normally $420, now $198) in october there couldnt have been a better time to go than on friday evening. Theyve also started celebrating halloween already so it was nice to see what differences there are to the normal park. Ill just let the photos speak for themselves...

Of course we went on all the COOL rides as well... as you can see, we flew with Dumbo (you could actually control your own Dumbo and make it go up and down when you want!), rode on the carusell, sat in the tea cups and of course stepped into Minnies and Chips shues for a few minutes :D

As you can see from the smile on my face, I really had a great time!! :D

On saturday we started our day by going to the gym. Its here at the halls and we get to use it for free, great! After we went to do a bit of shopping in Sham Shui Po where you can buy clothes for $10-$50, and you can always bargain on everything so it is really, really cheap! The quality is not so good, surprisingly, but never mind. I found some cool stuff from this Indian shop, I could have bought the whole place! In the evening we went out to Lang Kwai Fong. You always bump into people from PolyU there, so even if youd go alone, youd still end up in a massive crowd of people :) This time it was mostly Finns in our group with a few people from Austria, Holland, France and Germany. We had a good time, again, buying cheap beer from 7-11 and just sitting outside. We actually met a pilot for Cathay Pacific, tried to get some free flights to Thailand from him but he said he only flies to one city in China, I think it was Shanghai.. useless ;D

Having a beer (or two...) in Lan Kwai Fong with Milka and Bernadette.

There must be something really interesting up there... :D Welcoming the morning with Gabor, Lauriane and Olli.

As you can guess we didnt really have a lot of energy on sunday to do anything so we just stayed in and slept. But on monday, the actual birthday, we were well rested again to continue celebrating. We didnt really do much tho, went to the gym in the morning again and then in the afternoon me, Niina, Milka and Juho went bowling. It was a lot of fun after a long time! And of course I won every single game because it was my birthday and I had special powers ;) Well almost anyway...

STRIKE!!!

Juho and Milka.

In the evening we ate cake and watched a movie in the common area of the halls. It was a very relaxing evening, just taking it easy. Milka also gave me a great gift; she was my personal hairdresser for the evening and palm rolled my dreads :)

I turned 5... :)
