6D5N in HK

been busy editing, printing and uploading picz...now can finally get down to blogging! those days in hk was realli fun...apart from the super hot sun...everything else was satisfying. i'll go thru' everydae as much as i can...so...here goes!

1st day....12th july(thurs):
arrived at airport in the morning...took cathay. occupied by "disturbia" and food (plus haagen daz icecream) on the plane. reach hk in 4 hrs. took citybus to mongkok and searched for acesite hotel. quickly put our heavy luggages & set off to the peak! took the peak tram up. let pics do the talking.

so thats the magnificant view...fabulous scenery and expensive dinner we had. after all the pic taking...we went to search for Club 9. when we finally found it...it was members nite. so disappointedly we went to Sugar. but it turned out nice...great hiphop music...better than the last time i went phuture. so, after some exercise...took taxi back home.

2nd day:
woke up real early for not-very-nice breakfast and made our way to Ocean Park.

this pic is the view of part of this huge theme park...from the relaxing revolving ride. took roller coasters which looked real scary...but turned out alright. not as scary as i expected.

we made it just in time for a seal+dolphin performance...so cute lah! so feel like touching the dolphins. after all the rides...the hot sun was drying us up aGaiN. so we went into this "underwater world". bigger and nicer than sentosa's. saw all sorts of sea creatures...sharks, stingray, assorted fishes, turtles etc. also touched star fish & sea cucumber...eEee..hahaha

also saw this cute little sea angel...it's this translucent thing...like flapping its wings...looking like an angel~ didn't know there was such a thing...kekeke too tiny...couldn't capture it on camera. next was a jellyfish world where all sorts of jellies can be found. small, big, long, short, tiny, yucky, cute, scary, fat, colourful. ALL kinds.

Then took a veri high and long cable car ride to the other part of ocean park. see how many cable cars they have! and it goes up high...then down...then up higheR...then down.

upon reaching the other side...we took a short hotair balloon ride up to wOw at the view again. then sat some kiddy rides like panda-go-round. oh yah...luckily they sold this refreshing icy lime drink at stations ard ocean pk...so that we didn't dehydrate. shiOk~ but not suitable for diabetics.

left ocean park ard evening...and made our way to causeway bay. had cheap macdonalds and then ate famous "xu liu san" desserts. mango mango mango. walked ard abit b4 heading back home.

3rd day:
had wanton mee for breakfast and went to stanley market where karen bought lotsa souvenirs. especially lighters. hahaha next, went to repulse bay. the sun was really good for tanning. the beach was real wide...it could accomodate lotsa lotsa pple! 1st time seeing such a nice, clear beach. this is wat i call the suN, the sAnd and the sEa. =Pwent back to causeway bay to walk more and lunch. took rail bus...which was the longish tram attached to above wires, moving on the roads. later on, went central pier to take star ferry to avenue of stars which we will await symphony of lights and fireworks! caught beautiful sunset on the smooth ferry ride. saw Star Pisces cruise along the way...i hope to sit that 1 dae. hahhaa my cruise! luckily we were there early...otherwise we wouldn't get a good place to view the spectacular display of fireworks. didn't manage to take any nice pic of the sympony of lights...coz of the normal camera. think those nice pics u usually see... are taken using pro cameras and photo shop editing ba. anyway...everyone was more engrossed with the fireworks. so after the show...we walked thru' the avenue of stars looking at the ground most of the time. think there were more than 50 "stars" on the ground along the whole stretch.

went for a nice dinner at Red Ant...had laksa...mash potato with escargots (yummy!)...and oven baked rice! all so nice nice. also had warm choc cake...with the choc sauce that oOzes out from the centre...=)~~~~

made our way back to our hotel and came across this dessert shop that we juz couldn't resist. with mango triangular icekachang...& i realli mean pointed triangle. too bad the jelly was out of stock.

4th day:

went for tim sum breakfast...wide spread...yummy & cheap! look at the food! abit too much for 3 pple to eat rite...but heng got karen...wahahah the onli guy...ate the least! argh.

so after storing enough food in our tummies...we set off for a long & tiring dae. it was a walking day...& we went everywhere by foot. no bus no train. coz the route for the day was like a huge U-turn. from mongkok...we walked to nearby langham place shopping centre. then down towards mirama shopping centre. along the way..there were many shops to see...although the route was suPeR long...we made it! went to find lane crawford to buy havaiianas slippers which turned out to be so expensive...(i thought it would be cheaper than s'pore)...but since we finally found the place...can't waste all our effort rite? so i rewarded myself...& by then my feet were acheing from the lousy thin-based slippers i had on. after so much walking...sun went down...we were on our way to temple street to searched for cheap & nice seafood dinner. it was damn shiok la. all thanx to dm who introduced some kinda hard-shelled prawns and bamboo clams. it was soOo yummy! will try to find in s'pore...but i guess its realli rare. i miss it already!

then we were heading back towards our hotel's direction...and continued walking thru' temple street and then followed by ladies market...which was juz a few metres away from our home. our feet were acheing and mine was practically calling for help. so we desperately went to find foot massage. after walking ard our area...finally found one juz opposite our hotel...juz when we were abt to give up. wat a relief! it was super shiok. kinda painful for me...coz according to her...i've got a lingba problem. haiz. another problem to shorten my life. anywayz...after pampering ourselves...went for the triangular dessert again. this time 3 flavours in one (mango, strawberry & peach)...& there was jelly! woO hOoo~ sLurP.

5th day:

early in the morning...made our way to the big buddha. can u imagine how high up it was! too many steps to count. over 200+ i guess. (sorrie for the pinkish sky...my camera keesiao..)

so we climbed up...& it was so satisfying and cooling at the top! i was panting away...not easy for someone who haven't exercise for a long time ok. so we threw a coin and each made a wish...but didn't land up in the bowl that its supposed to. but it was a nice experience up there. came down for vegetarian breakfast b4 setting off to disneyland!

had to change to this mickey mtr to reach disneyland...so special rite! even the handles inside are mickey heads and there were small bronze models of disney characters thru'out the train~

as u walk towards the entrance...this huge fountain welcomed us.

& we reached juz in time to see the parade...juz like chingay. floats for each animation. snow white, cinderella, little mermaid, toy story and of course...mickey & frenz!

disneyland is huge leh! there are 3 parts. fantasy land, tmr land(futuristic) and pirates land. we catched short shows...1 with special specs to watch the animated 4-D donald duck cartoon, 1 interactive show with stitch. also sat fun rides like some space shooting, winnie the pooh story, teapot & space shuttles(which made dm dizzy) and the most exciting indoor roller coaster! so shiok manz...dark (didn't know wat to expect)...real fast and thrilling! had a eat-while-walk dinner...of corn, sausage and chicken! btw...dm enjoyed playing with his chicken. wahahhaa took a raft to tarzan's treehouse in pirates land and timing was nearing fireworks! went to get a good position for the explosion! it was soOo nice!!! tremendously spectacular...but we were too busy taking pics and all. hahahhaa it was superb...worth the 1 hr wait. =P

headed back...but stopped by at this Lucky Desserts near our hotel. the durian drew us in. as u walk in...u smell it already! oh manz...it was yummy to the max. too nice to be true. i'm not exaggerating...i really love those desserts!! look!

it was durian madness...superliciously delicious. pure durian that fills ur mouth with durian breath after that. haha the drink & strawberry pudding not veri nice..comparatively.

Last day:
check out hotel ard noon...went to central...IFC for lunch at food court. bought some laopuo bing and cookies b4 taking airport express (1st class mrt with huge cushion chairs...1st time seeing such a high class train...) so...it was "meet mr robinsons" on the plane...plus mega icecream for dessert.

*home sweet home*

i realli enjoyed this trip... i miss it already! thanx karen & dm~ wait...gotta thank my parents too...for the financial assistance...hahaha i did control my spending...it was reasonable. =P being in a totally new place...like entering cantonese world...was kinda challenging. somehow could understand a little of what they spoke...but when it got too fast...i was lost. luckily dm was fluent. poor him... was the translator, photographer(not all the time) and map(although not alwayz right...wahaha) but still give him some credit for being a great "tour guide" kekeke i said "um goy sai" the most and i liked "tak um tak" wahaha so farnie. =P most amazingly...this trip, we took all the modes of transport available. aeroplane, bus, mrt train, tram, taxi, ferry, hotair balloon, cable car...woOo hOo~ break record. hahah well...everything turned out really good...apart from the 2 waterless nites in the hotel and the scorching sun. overall happiness scale: 9/10 (nothing is perfect)

dun miss me~

before i start my post...i'll tell u all a joke. dun know if its farnie juz by reading....but it was damn farnie when it happened.

went jalan kayu for supper with radio. wanted to order food...so he called out "boss!" to 1 of them walking towards us. so that guy came over & said yes? radio asked "u got maggie goreng?" and he replied yes...so naturally...radio started to order his food. tHen...that guy placed his hand on radio's hand & the guy said ever so calmly..."wait. wait. let me say something 1st?" then we were like ya? i thought he wanted to say the maggie goreng was sold out or wat. but he said..."i'm the cleaner. u have to go there to order and give ur table number." waHAHahaHaa there was no way we knew..coz they wore same clothes ma. we all laughed out loud manz. he was damn farnie la. its his expression and the way he wanted to have a chance to speak. such a farnie scene...couldn't stop laughing...realli...

anywayz...nydc pple watching harry potter later! argh...can't make it. this sat my galz gona be watching it...can't join them also. aHhH! hope ah neo wait for me to come back then watch together ba. hahaha last 2 daes of work was fun...so much to eat! oh manz. juz gona enjoy 1st. after i come back from hk...then i'll start serious dieting. will definitely make it in time for the promise i made to zhenyan...who kept emphasizing on my expAnsiOn. deadline: christmas...wait & see! i only make promises that i can keep. so take my word for it. =P

i realise how some pple will take a frenship so lightly...or should i say...let some small stuff affect ur frenship with someone else. shouldn't frens be understanding & accepting? hah.. i'm glad mY frenz are. =D i guess if someone can be so affected...then its either more than a frenship or u're juz plain petty...rite? well...none of my biz anyway...juz kinda put off to know. hahaha waTevEr~
