Hi Beijing, Hi Awong

i just came back from Beijing this morning and met up with Andy Wong aka Awong again. it has been so long since we last met. the last time i met him was in August '07 in Beijing too. that's long for sure.

it's such an honour and i'm so touched that he actually took a day off on 28th just to accompany me as i was given off on 28th. "so nice of you, Awong". but maybe it's because i'm his first and only friend who visited him..again..ever since he moved to Beijing in July '07, so guess he has no choice. haha.. the evening when i arrived, a colleague of mine brought me to ...don't remember where... to lepak. called Awong and he came over to join us. so nice of him lor. the following day, he came over to my hotel to bring me go kai-kai.

this time around, i got to spend more time in Beijing and this trip wasn't as rush as my previous one. yet, i did not visit the Great Wall nor the Forbidden City. instead, we decided to spend time chatting and we actually went to 2 different Starbucks for coffee. what a waste?? no i don't think so. in between, Awong did brought me to the Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) and Beijing National Aquatics Center (Water Cube). so it's still good.

having a friend to visit him in Beijing, i wonder if it's a good thing as he spent so much when i was there; cab fare, food, drinks. i don't remember paying a penny at all. wait no, i did paid for my second coffee. haha.. somehow i feel so bad. except when i offered to spend him dinner, he asked me to sit still and don't move. how how... geezz.. "it's so nice of you, Awong. i really appreciate everything. although i'm happy to meet you...in a way *wink*. haha... but seriously, i really appreciate it and am happy to see you again, though we're not very close. know what i mean? take care and i'll see you soon in KL".

fyi, i'll be going back to KL on 20th Nov and he'll be going back around that time too. so excited..
