Like...Dramaaaaaaaaaa ...

K..like..wtf..HKG is bad for me bad bad bad...it like a teenage soap drama every single time i go back. I can't just use the term "my trip was dramatic", I have to say it this way to fully express it "my HKG trip..goooooooooood..like.. DRAMA"

Anyway back to what happened..My lovely friend Lilian invited me to one of her nice cocktail events for a very prestigious magazine which she works for (And yes I actually saw Mr and Mrs Chow Kai Bong ) And I'm there because its free alcohol..I was pretty much begging and naggin to go. And the event was in Central so I drove to have a nice pretty haircut in the afternoon before the event. Then V called me to go earlier around 4ish which was perfect as I was done by then..then it was just drink drink drink..and my phone ran outta battery so I didn't quite have a sense of time..the party was on going..and I think I kinda realized I was ummm wasted..so Grass was nice enuff to accompany me to Chui Wah and eat with me then kicked me on the taxi home..then whilst staring at the garage when arriving home...

"Wow..it looks empty.. wait a minute.. What the FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK... my car..shit..its still in the parking place..shit.."

Then I decided that I should set my alarm at 5am in the morning to make sure I will first go drive the car to Jordan, then meet Triple X lam at the trainstation at 650am to catch the first train to Guangzhou to meet my potential client. Then be back in HKG around afternoon to catch my flight back to Shanghai at 5pm. Let alone.. when you're drunk..you are very inadequent in judging if you are packed or not.. so when I woke up ..I realized I packed everything but my new "HUGE" speakers..then I had to repack everything to fit it in my suit case..and the freaking calling cab person took 30mins to get to my place in which the time I left home was 6:25 which leaves me just enough time to get to the train station to catch the plane..

When I got back..me and Triple X had a nice plan..it was already 230 pm..first..ill taxi to Jordan so that he can pick up my luggage..then Ill take the taxi to Central to get my parked car to drive to Jordan so that my mom can pick it up. Bullet Proof...

When I arrived at the parking.. that parking dude goes... "wah... ho wor mei wor.." (Wow..thats a juicy bill). I go " Yeah..I know" My mind goes "Shut the fuck up".. so its 27 hours in total and 35/hr.... then its HKD945 in total .. Thank you very much...#$%^&*()
*footnote 1 - My return ticket cost was RMB840..yes the cost of stupidity is HIGH very High

So finally I drive out of this bloodsucking piece of shit parking..and an uneasyness feeling just hit me..so I go look in my bag to scourage for my ticket / Id etc.. And my ticket is no where to be found .. now 3:15pm..(with an interscreen cut panned to my house now, like the show 24) The phone rings and my house helper Harsit answers " Wei".. Me "Just run to my room NOW..and don't ask" Harsit "What? Go to your room? Am I lookin for something?" Me " I said don't ask .. now RUN!!!!" " Go look under my computer monitor.. do you see my ticket?" Harsit overjoyously says in triumph "Yes yes yes... I found it I found your ticket" Me impatiently "Just read it and tell me the time FM XXX ETD 17:00"

At this moment, its no question that I realize I cannot make it back home and to the airport in time to make the flight, so my only option was to call the operator to ask for Shanghai Airlines CS line to BITCH my way out of this shithole. Of course I was transfered like 9 times ..now 3:45..tick tick tick.. and the Rep was telling me how impossible it is to board a flight without a ticket ..blah blah blah.. then using my knowledge of Introductory Bitch Basis 101 ... I said "Well Ok then. So how are you about to help me with my situation now?" Then she said something like I can tell the airline that I lost the ticket then they can reimburse me back the money 1.5 years later.. 1.5 years.. 1.5 years... Oh come on.. my ticket was 840 RMB (*footnote 2 - 105 cheaper than my parking fee..in which i could have parked in the middle of the street..and get a ticket for 320..Wow..they can book me 3 times already yippeee)
What good would 400 RMB be after 1.5 years? The point is I needed to leave NOW

However, without a choice, I had to comply so I phoned my trip ticket agent in China, and asked about the reimbursement, and she said "No..your return flight was free..so no we can't reimburse" Then I asked if I can change my flight to a later day and she said yes..so now its 4:00pm..i'm talkin to this agent whilst collecting BACK my shit from Triple X in the Airport Express Station.

So yes drove back home..got that freakin ticket..and Harsit told me how bobo was so sad lying in the greenhouse and not wanting to move even when my mom calls her..coz my bobo is smart..she knows when I pack my case..I'll be like vanished again.. so my bobochu is wagging her tail following me and barkin for the 5-10 mins ..then I said sorry I had to leave her and gave her a lil kiss.. The guilt of giving her the false hope is terrible...

So Mom calls to ask for the car..and she was asking "When are you leaving?" and I go "emmmm ..I changed my flight to 8:30" (Like I'm gonna tell her that I forgot the CAR last nite, she was asleep when I got home ..and I left at 6-ish while she was still sleeping).. So I pick her up in the car..then she dropped me off to the train station..

Tick Tick Tick 6:35pm..Check in girl goes "Well ..it seems they didn't change your flight.." Me with building rage calmly says "No way.. I'll call my agent right now to clarify this..hold on.." Meanwhile she simultaneously asks the manager if the flight is full and if I can still board. Then me searching my pockets..looking into my bag .. Fuccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk... Where the fuck is my phone??? Fuck.. fuck... Then I borrow their phone to call my phone.. (*footnote 3 - for those avid readers.. I am happily married with my K608i for almost 10 months now..and I am proud of myself for this commitment..and FYI the buyin phones that cost under 1.5K rule is very very good in kicking the addition of losing phones.. it did wonders for me) Ring Ring, Mom " Dim ar?" Me " Mom...this is my phone..you have it.. I need it .. Can you bring it back to me?? " Mom unwillingly "Well I dunno where that place is...its hard to find.. you kno I can't drive at night" Me go " Mom..I need my phone..." She goes "oh..ok then"

Tick tick tick... 10 mins..15 minss .. the darling check in girl lets me check in..so phew..i'm safe..then 20 mins passed..now time 6:45pm.. I'm like wtf wtf..building anger...and secretly cursing the person who said "oh..how's u're hk trip?? you always have drama" and FLASHBACK just the nite before I said "haha.. no wor.. no drama wor.. hahahah" .. ...stupid jinxing...em...jinxer... Grrr...

7:05..Where the fuck is she..she could have gone home and came back..then I slowly see her pull in.. and she handed thru the window..I wanted to question..why it took so long and scream and let out all my crap on to her..but she's Mom..and she just wasted her time to do me a favor out of her way.. so I just gave her a nod while biting my lip and just gave her a single hand WAVE then turned my back.. I tried really hard to squish out a Thank you..but I couldn't do it coz if I opened my mouth..the only words that would come out is "WTF WTF.. and !@#$%^&*("

So I rushed and ran and hussled to the airport..checked in customs...they threw out my liquids..olive oil..soya souce ..and my insect replelent.. then checked the board..inside the gates.. FM812 - DELAYED... @#$%^&

Lessons learned

• HKG ...like Drama
• Bad things and shitty deals comes in 3's
• Im actually a really really really bad person when I'm rushed
• Tickets.. are important ..they are your ONLY chance to get on an airplane..even if you have their Airline VIP card with means of idenfication..and you are in their computer system..it doesn't mean shit..if you don't have "Le ticket"
• Stupidity --> Drunkness --> Shitty Deal
• Stupidity comes at a very high cost..sometimes more than a return ticket..and NO..I won't stop whining about my guargantuan parking fee..I dont' think I will ever get over it

Ultimate Morale of this entry

• No..its not drink responsibly..its I'll never drive my freakin car out for drinks again..
