Last night my friend from college, Alvin, treated me to a really good local seafood restaurant for dinner in Jordan (left pic), somewhere I never would've found on my own. With my new glasses, we looked like twins, except his frames were Versace and mine are Ver-sase. Then we browsed through Temple Street (
Meew Gai or sometimes called Men's Market) where they sell tons of knick knacks and offer fortune telling services (right pic). We even found a couple middle- aged prostitutes soliciting business. I tried to take a picture discreetly but the hookers didn't turn out very well.
Temple Street is famous for fortune telling and tarot card reading, so I
had to get my fortune told at the least expensive booth: only HK$100 ($12) for face and palm reading. Amazingly, a lot of what he said about my character, lifestyle, childhood, etc. was right on the money - like how everyone thinks I'm a big airhead when in fact I'm really intelligent with lots of ideas. He also said I already had one failed significant relationship or marriage and could possibly have three marriages in my lifetime. My first marriage was not a harmonious one while my second marriage will be a very happy one. But if I marry a
third time (good god - who am I, JLo?), I will have a shitload of money. Sorry Your Baldness [aka Justin my boyfriend], looks like I'll be leaving you for money! He also said I have
Toe Fah which means I easily attract men. Everything else he said about my future and fortune, well that's between me and him, and of course Alvin who was there for moral support and occasional translation. Twelve bucks for half an hour of entertainment, not bad at all! Except he said I should remove the three small moles on my face. His exact words were (translated from Chinese), "You have such a pretty face but with those moles, it's like having trash all over it. And it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds." Thanks Mr. Fortune Teller. Just what every girl wants to hear!
Afterwards we went to some hole in the wall for dessert that was excellent. Alvin had a mango tapioca and gave me half, and I had a black sesame tofu and did not give him half. Then we went back to his luxury apartment sitting on top of Elements shopping center with a breathtaking view of the city (HK lies to build apartment complexes right above shopping centers). But you'll have to excuse the mess in the pictures - his maid doesn't come til tomorrow.
