Hong Kong Trip

So sorry it took so long for this update...

1) I was tired
2) I had 2 assignments to be handed up in the same week (stupid Moral Studies...)
3) I had a gathering on Christmas Eve, lots of stuff to prepare...
4) I was just plain lazy =p

*Note : The 4th was the real excuse =)



OK as my previous post stated, I boarded the 6am plane for a 4-hour flight to Hong Kong. So when we reached there, it was around 10am local time. (no time difference with M'sia)

We took the Airport Express to another station to catch a bus...
Photobucket
The shuttle bus took us straight to our hotel.


Our rooms weren't ready, and it was lunch time, so we went to look for some good food =)
Photobucket


After lunch, we took the MTR to the Admiralty station.
Photobucket


FYI, the MTR is the most efficient way of getting around Hong Kong.

I uploaded the original photo of the map so you guys can have a better look =)

After we reached the station, we took a bus to the Peak Trem station and I found this!

Took a walk in the complex while waiting for the trem...

Took a drink while waiting for the long queue to settle =)
Photobucket


Observe the steepness of the trem...
Photobucket
It was 45 degrees almost the whole way!!


My cramp hotel room...
Photobucket
Fact is, Hong Kong is a small place... =)


Very good taufufah at The Sweet Dynasty 糖朝
Photobucket


Look at the amount of food we gobbled up! =D
Photobucket


This was our favourite place to eat.
Photobucket
Near to our hotel, good food and good service too! =D


Hong Kong people are indeed very creative when advertising space is limited. =)
Photobucket
That's actually a TV on the staircase... =P


My sis and I riding the dedicated train to Disneyland =)

The main entrance =)

Didn't get a chance to take this in the morning, so we took it at night =)

MUST TRY if you go to Disneyland.
(You might wanna keep your limbs inside the car)


My sisters and I at the Lion King show =)
Photobucket



A clip at the show, really cool choreography =)




After the show, decided to take a quick snap! =)
Photobucket


This was the best view ever!! =D
Photobucket
The sunset PLUS the Disneyland castle there... Totally awesome!! =D


My sis and I on the Dumbo ride...
Photobucket


Cool effect right?
Photobucket


It's actually the special glasses they gave us =)
Photobucket
Used to watch the fireworks, so instead of a dot, I see a snowman! =D


How nicely decorated! =)
Photobucket


Remember the sunset photo?
This is how it looks at night! =D
Photobucket


Everyone's going home after the fireworks ended. =)
Photobucket
So congested...


My siblings and I @ The large Christmas tree =)
Photobucket


Same bunch, different view =p
Photobucket


By the way, we went back to The Sweet Dynasty 糖朝 for this!
Photobucket



Specially made "Tang Yuen"!! (汤圆) Simply the best!! =D
Photobucket


How good you ask?
Their skin isn't too thick and the black sesame just flows out like lava when you bite it. Then the flavour totally floods your entire mouth, including the ginger soup that came with it. =D

Now doesn't that make you drool? xP


Next day, we went to Ocean Park! (海洋公园)
Photobucket


This is one of the reason why I like Hong Kong. =)
Photobucket
They actually enforce it properly here. =)


My siblings and I with The Mine Train behind =)
Photobucket


Not much photos from Ocean Park, so I gonna skip to this part :
We took the cable car to get to the other side of Ocean Park, which is across the hill. But when we reached the bottom, there was really nothing to see or play...

Only the panda which I filmed in this video :


Yes it was shitting! LOL!!


We really regretted coming down when we saw this!
Photobucket
Freaking long queue to get back up!


Kinda frustrating to wait 1½hours just to get back up...
Photobucket


Long way more to go man! =(
Photobucket


Almost... almost there... *grr*
Photobucket


I could almost smell it!! X_X
Photobucket


Finally, we reached... *frustrated and tired*
Photobucket


My mum cannot tahan... Too tired... Haha =)
Photobucket


We made it in time to see this!
Photobucket
The ending part of the marine animals show! =p


See that building on the left?
Photobucket


How bout a closer look?
Photobucket
Yes... It's a freaking big Christmas greeting =)


Wan Chai Golden Bauhinia Square (湾仔金紫荆广场)
Photobucket


Star Cruise baby... =)
Photobucket

We waited till 8pm when the Symphony of Lights (from Wikipedia) started and we just sat there in something that looked like a bus stop but is actually designated for the show since it had speakers for the music.

But I had to say, it's actually nothing special, or not to me. But it sure does attract lots of people to see it! xD


After it ended, we went to eat porridge =)
Photobucket


Me enjoying my pork porridge =)
Photobucket


The next day, I had noodles for breakfast =)
Photobucket


Me, my father and my bro, walked a little and found this :
Photobucket
A football match! =D


Such an expensive place...
Photobucket
And people even have to queue up to shop! xD


Their MTR rocks man!!
Photobucket
I couldn't even see the other end! xD


When we're underground, there's actually a breeze in the MTR when the train starts moving!
Photobucket
Saves money from installing air-conditioning =)


I went on to Temple Street and they sell lots of stuff! =)
Photobucket

And I do mean a lot! =D
Photobucket
Photobucket


Another cool dish from The Sweet Dynasty... =p
Photobucket


Porridge Steamboat! Instead of soup, they use porridge! =D
Photobucket

Photobucket


And we ordered this again... =)
Photobucket


The next day, had to go back already... Aww... =p

This was my breakfast at the airport =)
Photobucket
Photobucket


My family came to eat too after hearing what I had to say about the food =)
Photobucket


In the Airport Express... Again! =)
Photobucket


Well I think that's all folks!


Wait? I'm forgetting something right?






Oh yeah, here's the answer to the riddles I asked from the previous post =)

Simple right? =D



Which part to cover when a man opens your shower curtain while you (girl) are bathing :
