Hong Kong - Day 3

Day 3 - Saturday in Hong Kong... Your friend, me as cranky as ever... waking up cranky cause she haven even try any dim sum she crave for or the dessert or even egg tart and all... and is Day 3 liao..... She woke up a cranky as the last 2 days days.....

Today, they going to explore Mongkok.....where there is a very cheap and nice restaurant dim sum.... They left hotel roughly at 11plus, reach Mongkok at 12 plus and started looking for the place... High and low, and ask everybody they can, fingers pointed everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found...Signboards were everywhere and there was alot of people and both of us could hardly speak their language....We spend like a hour or so to find the place. damn.. haiz....... so i guess people just point their fingers not knowing where they are.....
After like almost 999min, we finally found the place, so happy but was worried that the food as finished... all i wanted is dim sum.. haiz.. so singaporean,,,,
I almost fained when i was trying to read the menu in Chinese.... OMG.... how to find my fav siew mai, carrot cake , wantan.....
The funny story about the bowls and the utensils... While i was busy struggling to translate the menu while ZP just sat beside.. After that, I realise there was 2 pots. One was water to clean the utensils, and one was our tea. And i dont know how to "wash" the utensils. Trying to look around to see if other people are washing so that i can learn too....


At last, we manage to eat the dessert, manago pomelo for me.... yum yum...
After which, the stubborn me went to look for my lao bao bing aka wife's cake, this famous red colour packaging.... we actually went to TST Sogo.. Before that, went to Star Avenue... People go in the night, when i go in the day..
Feeling so tired.. and the make up was like argh...... and half way.... i realise my period came !!!
Finally, my favourite and bought 6 boxes back ! 2 or 3 intend for myseld.....
This was my day shopping at Langham place, while trying to visit h&M , came across the road show for SK 2, and i was sucker for it... Argh.... $$$ bleed......

Went back hotel put the stuffs and take a quick rest..... after which, we need to meet zul's friend, creamo....... at Jordon........ She bought us to this famous claypot over at temple street....

It was cold, and people were just queuing at the street for it.....
My curry chicken hot claypot on a cold cold weather....... Had a chill oit session and walk around the area...... Shopping and looking around....
Zul and Creamo before we depart till we meet again in HKG!!!
My night shopping when i chance upon Bonjour - something similar to Sasa but cheaper with lots of variety and range and sample size...So cheap..... :-) some impulsive buying, some are for later....

Hong Kong - Day 2

Day 2, fall asleep when GZ was doing manicure on my left hand, and i doze off due to the club and hangover the night before. Didnt set alarm clock, and GZ snooze back after the alarm ring. And again, I was kind of cranky..... of course he got hell from me cause i didnt get to eat a proper breakfast. Lost and didnt know where to go, got to walk around.....

Finally, time has arrived for us to proceed to Disneyland.... Woh... Changing the train.... It all started from the train already. The window and the handle.........
I love this photo.. so relax. So winter and so disneyland.................and am so HAppy....

Into the land of pooh and tigger... I wish i could buy them and put inside the car, but they dont look very nice......

Love this "space mountain"... Didnt know what was it, didn't read, just Q for it.... Then we went in, and realise like it was something like a roller coaster....

The ride was cool, it started as dim light, then e were escalating up, it went pitch dark.... and then Zoom, we were riding in pitch darkness.. no shock, cant see where we going, I was scare tat my hair got caught. Along the way, there was sharp turnssss, left right and all... then u could see like u enter the universe with all the shining star.....

The sleeping beauty castle, the fantasy land entrance.... It will be so different at night...Since ZP suggested to look at the firework, we waited til 8pm... By 1830, we had nowhere to go, shop here and there, try to find some food like corn and all...

My favourite, of course the pooh, so cute, is ok that i dont take picture with minnie and mickey...

My lovely partner who endure my crankness and nonsense during the hong kong trip....

Since there was time before the parade, we could spare 5 mins to wait and take photo with Goofy...

The ride that i had been waiting for and my favourite, the rc Racer, and it was so cool... I was so bad that i insist ZP to take with me.. Constantly, while waiting for q of 20min, he kept on saying, i hold your bags, is ok......but then, he still acc me...
OMG, the G-force, front and back like 3 times, so cool.... I was screaming, and i feel that i scream out all my unhappiness.. I could hear ZP screaming too... then he claim that if dont shout will injure lungs ?

After the RC Racer, ZP practially has no mood for anything... So ya, there was it and we slowly stroll back, cause i didnt like the tarzan stuffs

I love my camera, When is night time, it became magical, romantic...

The starting of the Firework at the Sleeping beauty castle.......... So nice.. so magical.. so romantic... So COLD....

The fire work begins.... and it went on and on and on for like 10-15 mins....

In the midst of the magical moment, I was thinking, if someone propose to me at such place with the atmosphere, it would be so wonderful.... Is the feeling and all... But, long way to go......

At the end of the firework, we stand up, both of our legs were numb.. It was cold, it was cramp.... and we were standing there for quite long cause we couldnt walk...

First Holiday of a New Year 2012 !

I had a team trip with Team Isaac, at Taipei, but decided since the flight will stop over at HKG, why not try going since I have never been there....indeed, travelling can be a tiring journey, with the packing and unpacking..... esp winter period

I just came back from HKG/TPE, maybe shall talk about the HKG trip first... After the flight delay in TPE fr 2 hours, i finally reach HKG to meet the ba long long zewl in HKG airport. Took the airport express to the central station. Miss the shutle bus by bit and then took a cab cause i was so tired and handover from the hangover from the party at Taipei the night before.
This is my boutique hotel room, green colour theme, not as small as what people say, maybe smaller than the hotel in other country.It was cosy and it provide very comfortable pillow...
I stay in Cosmo hotel, about 60m different. Cosmopolitian is like the sister hotel.. We wanted to wait for the shuttle bus but zewl say the shuttle first just infront, which is not, misleading sign. so we walked and get loss.... and i was kinda of cranky...almost the whole day, flight delay, long q at immgration. loss and all...... but the gentle and caring zewl is always patient, never shout at me, is i am the noisy one....
Finally, found some food, at central area... So hungry after the hangover and all, maybe that is part of my crankiness..
Orfer the wantan noodles, the noodles are nice, but i felt the soup was like salty... like MSG ++++
Finally, after 2 hours of delay, mean 2 hours less of shopping, it was finally H&M, when they say is cheaper and bigger.. Indeed, 4 storey, but a pity it was winter season but they are still some other clothing....
so the shot he always took when he go HKG..... so cute.....
well, i guess what is so cooll about the winter season in HKG and all is u can dress like u never in Singapore. Still look so pretty and nice...As compare to TPE, HKG is not as cold, probably like 13 to 15, where TPE is like 10-12 degree....
Check out the amount of stuff that i bought just within an hour in HnM.. Bag, clothes, makeup, manicure set and lip gloss.....i almost just threw everything in....went to take a walk like Lan Kwai Fong........
Love the HnM make up stuffs cause is cheap and good ........ was so tired then, i had to rest early for the next day at disneyland. bought mac fillet back and eat, and i slept so fast when zewl was helping me to do manicure.... but the bed so comfortable.....
