jokes
someone called from shenzhen n said i won $120000 china money. ok weird.. i think its most prob fake. but such a coincidence coz i indeed went shenzhen but i came back already. so well, duno real not. haiz..
ok lets talk bout what happened when i was away. (for lindy who's asking me to blog bout the hk trip)


day1: 17june: left home at 6am to get to the airport. flight at 805am. had to check in at T1. taking cathay. parents n jess taking SQ. well, diff flights coz SQ had no more seats. so sheena n i had to take cathay. their flight was 20mins later than us. took a lot of photos in the plane. with the food, outside the toilet, etc.. reached hk at 1135am. msg ian n asked where he was. n he called back. wasted my money. 1min talk was $3! how ex is that?! said he's going Mongkok. ok lo.. good lo. he was supposed to go back to singapore on the day i go. so he had to do last min shopping. was raining when we reached hk. hk airport is quite confusing. when u get out of the gate, u stil had to take a train to the baggage claim. n from the baggage claim, u had to walk a distance to get out to the main arrival waiting area. weird.. anyways, i was chatting with sheena while waiting for my parents n jess's flight to arrive. had to wait quite some time. so we took some photos first. heee
anyways, we took the airport express train to Kowloon, den took this free shuttle bus K3 to some hotels. think our hotel was the 4th one. Royal Pacific Hotel. my parents n jess shared a twin bed room. while sheena n i shared two single bed room. beside each other. their room was still in the midst of cleaning coz the ppl just checked out. so we went to our room first. unpacked den left the hotel to walk ard. we walked ard Tsim Sha Tsui, went Harbour City, all the shopping centres. bought a berm from giordano. hee.. HKD150. green colour. i loved it! hee..
den we had lunch at Happy Garden Noodles & Congee Kitchen near our hotel. den walked ard again to some Art Museum thingy n went to Avenue of Stars. den we went back to Happy Garden Noodles & Congee Kitchen again for our dinner. den went back to the hotel to check in to their room.

day2: 18june: we took a ferry to Hongkong island. n had breakfast at Fu Man Yuan Shi Dian. took a very long time to find some eating places. had congee, dou jiang you tiao, chee cheong fun, etc... was nice. spent HKD176. the whole table was filled. everyone was looking at our table. guess coz we ordered too much. couldnt finish all. had to dabao our you tiao. heee. put it in my dad's bag. jokes. the you tiao was very oily! really.. gross
next up, we went to Central, to some terminus interchange n took bus 6X to repulse bay to see the beach. the beach was ok only lo. nothing much to see. boring. den we took 6X again to Stanley market. nothing much also. didnt buy anything. mum bought shorts, jess bought a fake polo dress. jokes.. den we went to The Peak! the weather was nice. very foggy there coz was all the way to the top. we took a tram up. very steep. went to Madame Tussard to see wax figure. damnit.. couldnt take photo with jackie chan. had to pay money. jokes. so big face. anyways, his nose is really big. we left at 10pm like that i think. the queue to take the tram down was very long. but was quite fast coz the tram could take bout 90ppl at one time. so not so bad. after that, we went back to Tsim Sha Tsui to have dinner. went macdonald. hee.. jokes.. they had flatbread which is singapore's turnover. but they dun have the grilled chicken one. they have korean beef n black pepper chicken or whatever. very nice!! their chilli sauce is also different. anyways, den we walked back to the hotel. passed by Xu Liu Shan. went 711 to buy some stuffs before heading back to the hotel.
on the way to Hongkong Island

day5 :21june: last day in hk. plan was to go back to Emerald Rest. in mongkok to have dimsum. but it was raining heavily, so we had to go downstairs in our hotel to have breakfast at macdonald. their small orange juice is really small. freaking small!! anyways, was still raining heavily when we finished. so walked ard, den decided to find some covered areas to get to the mtr station. walked thru shopping centres near our hotel, den went under the rain to the station. n went to mongkok. main purpose was to get the Shou Bao from Emerald Rest. we bought 15 baos back to singapore. was shiok!! anyways, it was raining even worse when we left emerald rest. couldnt walk at all. goodness.. n i was wearing skirt. shit man.. n we havent bought our Wife Biscuit. went under the rain at some places, den took a cab back to our hotel. gross... had to wash my legs n rushed to check out. we had 8luggages! we only had 4 when we went to hk. n had double when we came back. heee..
this taxi driver came n said he could sent us to the airport at HKD250. so we didnt have to take so many luggages in the train. coz we had to take the shuttle bus to Kowloon, den take another train to the airport. troublesome coz we had a lot of luggages. so we agreed. i was very scared our luggages would drop out from the boot. coz it wasnt closed. too many luggages. but we got to the airport safely. hee.. sheena n i checked in first coz our flight was 2hrs earlier than theirs. den we decided to have dim sum in the airport. at Maxim Chinese Rest. the food was nice. we had roast er too.. came up to HKD200++. the service there wasnt that good. attitude. had to ask 3 ppl before 1 small plate of chilli came. weird.. anyways, we bought our wife biscuits at the airport too. bought a lot of boxes. heee..
