tea time

i woke up to a beautiful day with loads of sunshine today so after working hard on my essay all morning long i decided that i deserved a treat - i had wanted to go to antique tea room to try their scone tea set for while now. when i told david that i had never had a scone he was literally appalled, so he took it upon himself to introduce me to the magic that are scones with clotted cream and jam.

boy, it was so good. the scones were soft and warm, just the perfect little pick-me-up to go with a pot of english breakfast tea. antique's interior is also really nice, complete with pastel coloured wallpaper and comfy armchairs so i highly suggest you stop by should you happen to be in hong kong. read more about it here.

when i returned to my hall, however, a not so pleasant surprise was waiting for me. stepping out of the elevator i ran into the college's master, who visibly flustered informed me that the first case of swine flu in hong kong had just been confirmed. obviously, the whole territory is freaking out right now. at the reception desk our door man made sure i picked up a face mask to protect myself. when i got to my floor i saw all my hall mates wearing them already.
wow.
