Hey all~!! I am back from Hong Kong~!!!!!
Besides the salty food, I enjoyed this trip right to the core. The shopping, the sightseeing, everything!!
This trip to Hong Kong is no doubt fulfilling, however, something really bad happened back home whilst I was away. My bro feel terribly ill and he has MC for 12 days already. It started with possible drug allergy then later they suspect dengue. Whole body full of rashes and having persistent high fever... I can feel his frustration.
Back to Hong Kong... This is my visit to Hong Kong for the second time an this time round, I will remember Hong Kong as....
- A country with many hum-sup men. Generally, people like to stare amd are rather rude. The Old, the young, the male and the female. The 3 of us are constantly visually molested and thus we felt a little unsafe there.
- We got cheated by the hostel!! Apparently, the room we booked is a lower grade room and its so small that when we push laine's luggage in, we cannot move anymore. Furthermore, the picture we saw of the room on the website is totally different from the one shown to us! So, we ungraded to another room which required us to pay extra money. We felt so deceived!!
- Things in Hong Kong are not cheap. However, I enjoyed the shopping and found some value buys!! I bought 4 pairs of shoes, an adidas original jacket that cost me barely sgd50, a sundress for hkd79, a shirt dress, a silky shirt, a black skirt, a black shirt, 2 shorts, a bag, 3 belts, a boxer shorts, 3 hard rock cafe shirts as gifts, DKNY apple, some souveniers from disneyland and some cosmetics.
- I will remember how our Operation Lan Kwai Fong turned out. Basically its as if we were the displays in a zoo. Everywhere we go, we get stares. There is even a guy who tried to steal a picture of us!! How rude can they be!! I will also remember how much I enjoyed myself at the pub we settled in and how much we wished there was a dance floor. I will also remember how rude can these 2 chinese drunk ladies when they bang onto our table and spilling our drinks all over, not apologising at all...
- I will remember breakfast at Dao Xiang. Its s restaurant with really cheap and nice dim sum breakfast!! Wheeee~!!
- I will miss the egg tart from KFC!!!!!! Its soooooooooooo deliciousssssss!!!! And we only ate it once!! BoooHoooo~!!
- I will remember breakfast at Sweet Dynasty. The custard bun!! The dessert!! Dessert at Xu Liu Shan tooo~!!! OOOOOOooooooo.... I miss Hong Kong already!!
- Crazy shopping at H&M. Loving it~!!! And Heavy shopping bags!
- Disneyland!! The themed train with disney ornaments, mickey handles and mickey windows. Beautifully and meticulously decored themed park.... Awww.. So beautiful... The unique summer water parade with catchy theme song. Mascots and dancers jumping around full of energy!! The really hot weather that made me 2 shades darker!! And also the 4-D show!! I love the 4-D show with wind effect and water sprinkle!! Cool stuff!
- Beautiful scenery at the Peak. And another idiot who tried to take a photo of us without permission!!
- I will remember how laine and I went to catch the movie "Invisible Target". Its a different feeling watching a Hong Kong produced movie at Hong Kong and the actors speak Canto. I remember how laine irritated me with her "Oh No... she die leh.. so sad...." "... is he gonna die?... Huh... he die ah...." throughout the whole show. I will remember how we tried to catch the last train and ran all the way to Mong Kok MTR station and not realising we ran pass a mob who were fighting moments before, police and ambulance was around and we just gotta continue running to get out of the mob and to catch our train!!
- By the fifth day, I miss singapore sooooo much!! Because I am penniless!! LOL~!!!! I wished I can visit Hong Kong again, preferably in the cold season... December!
There are so many places to go, so little time!! Hong Kong Once more, when??
