Again- not the best quality... but it's a taste of what I am doing/seeing here in Hong Kong. :-) The first video is the Fillipino Pop Culture dance I wrote about earlier, and then next is me and a few of the other cast members singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
Everybody getting into the craziness of Christmas! WAHOO!
Traditional Fillipino dance... performed by cast members from mainland China
The Fillipino version of the "Macarena" (I think this was called The Spaghetti Dance or something)
- Fillipino Pop Culture! LOVE IT!
Peter, Julie, Rabbi, Pheona, Fiona, Joe, and ME! 
Me and my "Beast"s. Franz, Andy, and Sang
Me and Fiona Hui- Love this girl. She actually went to NYU but is originally from Hong Kong. I WISH I would have recorded the ORIGINAL conversation- but this will do. I have not laughed so hard in a long time!
Sad night for me here in HK. My mom called me to tell me that my twenty year old kitty, Mitzi, passed away this morning around 3 AM. That cat has been part of me since I was four years old... sigh. She lived a good life with the Shreeve's from the time she was six weeks old. :-) I love my kitty.
So I decided that the blog needed a new look... exciting. Ha ha.
This is the Christmas tree in the Green Room at work. All of the decorations we have up around the theatre are quite interesting. :-) It's a great, RANDOM mix of an American, Aussie, Filipino, Mainland China, and Hong Kong Christmas. "Sing dong fie low"- Merry Christmas in Cantonese... I think. Hee hee.Remember: We're all getting PAID for this:
This is my corner of the Green Room when I am on standby. Today's standby consisted of watching two movies: "You've Got Mail," and "Phantom of the Opera." (For you, Kallie)
Candy- my Hong Kong kindred spirit
Alisia... well, her HAIR
Harry- who always says to me, "Youll haut" (TRANSLATION: You're hot.") - and a couple of the other tuckered out cast members. This was at 4 PM. Hee hee.
Cute Duck. Love him.
Anyway, so last night I had the great opportunity of spending the evening with the Asian Area President, Elder Daryl Garn, and his wife. They had several of us single girls from the branch over for FHE and for an AMAZING dinner. AH! It was just SOOOOOO great. We got a lot of insight to the Church in Asia- it really is awesome and I love that I am a part of it! :-)
The pictures below are of the view from the Garn's apartment. The steeple of the church is right above their balcony!!! It's stunning! Again, I wish my camera was better... BUT I am getting myself a new one for Christmas... so soon I will have GOOD quality pics on here! :-)
The last couple pics are just of the "Christmas Tree Lighting" event at HK Disneyland. I went into the park after my shift tonight to watch it. They even made it "snow" on Main Street USA!!! I tell ya, thousands of cute Asian people freaking out over "snow" is really entertaining! 
Today was a crazy day at work- I did ALL SIX shows! Wahoo! I set a new record for the "Belle" track. No Belle has ever done that many shows in one day. Yay for making history.
Anyway, so I came home and frittered away (did I really just use that phrase??) my evening playing with this celebrity look alike thing. Hee hee. It was fun. I have been told often that I look like Alexis Bledel and Tara Reid, and they both showed up on these things, but I wish I looked like Rachel McAdams. Sigh. Who is this Maria person? Anyone know? :-)
This was my splurge for the season. It's a little Hong Kong Disneyland Christmas tree. A keepsake. I figure I needed something to bring home from my Christmas in Hong Kong. :-) And I got 40% off. Hee hee. I love employee discounts! :-)
My tree looks like it's wearing a coat.
So lately I have been coming out of my shell at work. It happened all of a sudden one day last week. It's weird how I do that. Hmmm. Anyway, so now I am my normal crazy and entertaining self with all the cast members at work. I am very good at making the locals and Phillipinos laugh. :-) Here is my "Soccer Mom" wig with the way I restyled it. I had the whole cast and tech crew and costumers cracking up. I like it. Hee hee.
Dang, I wish this pic was lighter. If anyone has editing capabilities would you lighten it for me and send it? Hee hee. OK, this is RANDOM. But this was part of my Thanksgiving. I had dinner with a family from the Branch, and they had this massage chair. HAPPY AMY. I look like I am getting some kind of medical procedure done...
PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!!!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!! This is Mong Kok... the best part about this day is that I was out wandering around and all of a sudden I recognized where I was- from a pic I have of YA tour. (Since I've been here I have wondered where all we were on that tour... I have NO IDEA!) Anyway, it made me happy. And nostalgic. And I missed the YA's. Sigh.
This is how bus drivers drive in Hong Kong. :-) I am on the upper deck of my bus, and OH- YES, that is the bus in front of us. ADVENTURE! :-)
Today I am thankful for many, MANY things... but most of all- for all of you who read my blog. Hee hee. Details on my Thanksgiving in Hong Kong will come soon. :-) I love you all lots and lots.
THREE MONTHS!
In a few weeks my contract is half way through (December 10th I believe)- THAT seems impossible. Crazy, CRAZY how fast time goes.
So apparently nothing too eventful has been going on in my life so far this month... though I have enjoyed coming up with Ralphie posts. 42 days till Christmas. I'm just sayin'...
