Stayed up all night because I was excited and afraid to miss the check-in timing which was at 4.30AM! Mummy, Len and I picked up Zhi Rui before heading to the airport!
Our itinerary for our 4D3N in Hong Kong! It was singlehandedly prepared by Zhi Rui!
Boarded the plane at 6AMish and caught Gulliver's Travel for the second time.
There were no available rooms on the non-smoking level... and we didn't want to be staying on the smoking level so we were told to come back in another 2 hour! Boo! But we left our luggage with the concierge and made our way to Yuen Kee Restaurant for lunch. They are known for their wanton noodles but I didn't know! I ordered some dumplings with vegetable filling. Boo.
Went back to the hotel. Checked in. Rested for a bit. Unpacked.
Bought Polo Bao from Kam Wah Cafe before we went shopping! H&M and Monki was disappointing. The clothes which I wanted was apparently sold out AND when I finally saw something that I like, which was a belt... THERE WERE NO MORE SIZE S LEFT. T_T
Out of our 4 days there, I think I bought the most thing on Day 1... which was pathetic... seeing that I only managed to get a bag, 3 top, and a card game. I was so sad. People always advertise Hong Kong to be a shopping paradise but really, hardly anything caught my eyes. But then again, that's fine since my ultimate motive was to have dimsum and relaxxxxxx. ^^
We also visited their Ladies Street!! The place we bought card games!!! And Zhi Rui helped to bargain! Yay~
In the evening, we caught Symphony of Lights at Avenue of Stars! It was crowded and boring. Some people were pretty rude too. What to do!?
See... inconsiderate people kept getting into my way when I was taking pictures. Proof is as shown below. I even (accidentally) snapped an old man's butt. -.-
We were supposed to have sushi for dinner visiting Avenue of Stars but we dropped that idea as the 50% promotion that Zhi Rui thought was on-going don't start till 10pm and we were famished.
So we walked around and settled for a simple dinner in Guang Dong Barbecue Restaurant! :)
Day 2: 21st June (Tue)
Had Hotel Breakfast with Zhi Rui and Cornelius before heading to Ocean Park! The one and only amusement park in Hong Kong! It's really old compared to the ones we have in our country but then again it's been around since the 70s so what do you expect? What surprised me was how clean most of their toilet was. They were even air-conditioned. AND I LOVE THEIR AQUARIUM!!!! It was magnificent.
This was the Eagle ride!!!! It lifts you up a few level high and then spin round and round and round. I didn't take it cause my body's aching and I didn't want to risk feeling nauseous.
THE ABYSS!!!!!!!!! It was drizzling when we got on the ride!!! I damn kuku one ok? I realised that each time I got on to a ride I pray that I don't die while riding them. Be it Escape, WWW, USS or Ocean Park. Especially Ocean Park I tell you!!! Cos I kept thinking to myself "the amusement park is just beside the sea... and it's been here since so long ago... could the equipment be rusty??? what if they break down??? what if their safety precaution isn't enough??" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok back to the Abyss! I was so scared when we were being lifted up. I wanted to scream but no voice came out of my throat. YA, I WAS LITERALLY CHOKED WITH FEAR. -___- But the drops weren't as scary as the one I took in Genting so... yay! :D Plus I'm alive and kicking back in Singapore now.
One of the rollercoaster there!! Queued pretty long for it! I think it's the Mine Train!! :) Encountered pretty rude xxxxxx people while we were queuing. They don't move when the queue moves and when you inform them, they GLARE at you. Crazy.
Taken on our way to the Panda Village!!!!
LOOK! PANDA! I can't remember her name!!! But she's cute ain't she!! Encountered rude xxxxx people here lor!! This pretty old woman kept squeezing Zhi Rui, then Cornelius and Zhi Rui both told her off.
If I didn't remember wrongly... We left the amusement park after stopping for a quick snack!!!! Then we took the bus to North Point and bought the very very very very very famous Ji Dan Zai as dinner! Many local celebrities frequents it! Swoons~ It was the very reason I decided to go Hong Kong. WO AI JI DAN ZAI. Cornelius brought us this street which sells YTF and Smelly Beancurd but the stall vendor was DAMN RUDE, I CANNOT TAHAN! It's not like they dip their food in gold or that we don't have to pay for it right! I realised I get really mad when I have to queue for food not worth queuing fo, or when I get super bad customer service. Anywhere is the same lor. I rather not eat for the day than to bear with their bad attitude which I do not deserve.
After that we made our way back to the hotel! Showered... and thought of skipping our original plan which was to visit the clubs in Hong Kong cos we were all tired. But yay, we went Lan Kwai Fong in the end and it was the best decision of the day I guess! Was supposed to go this famous club but it was their Salsa Night -____- So we decided to go a pub nearby (Zinc) which plays pretty good music!! Cornelius bought us drinks so double yay. :) At around midnight we decided to go look for clubs and saw Bei Jing Club and Shake Shake! Hehehehehehe. So cute hor the name. Shake Shake was closed so we went to Bei Jing Club and stayed till near 5 in the morning.
Day 3: 22nd June (Wed)
After breakfast, we traveled all the way to Tim Ho Wan which serves Michelin recommended dim sum! It opens daily at 10am... and we reached at 9.40am but guess what! People were already queuing up!!! Even after we were assigned a number, we were told to return in 45 minutes as the shop is full. My appetite was quite bad so I didn't eat much AND I SO REGRET IT NOW!!!! :(
Tried steamed milk from Yee Shun Milk Company, located somewhere at Causeway Bay! It was yummy! ;) But I still prefer my Marigold Almond Jelly Pudding.
Visited H&M at Queen's Road after that! Tried on 8 pieces of clothes but they were all fucking huge. :'( What's worse than having clothes you like BUT CAN'T WEAR. I would have bought them if they weren't like 2 to 3 bigger than my usual size. Anyway we later headed to Wellington Street and had dinner at Lin Heung Teahouse!
Day 4: 23rd June (Thur)
Checked out of the hotel right after breakfast. Lugged our luggage all around. Original plan was to visit the Giant Buddha and Po Lin Monastery but the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car service was temporarily suspended for maintenance therefore we only bought egg tarts from Tai Cheong at the Star Ferry Pier! Managed to spot a shopping mall and there we went!!!
Bought masks + hand cream + eyeliner pencils from Tony Moly! Their products are cuteeeeeeeee. The mask I bought came in a tomato!
After that we made our way to Citygate Outlet Mall... Where I, once again, bought nothing. :|
Did last minute shopping at the airport and I was so happy that they have a Disneyland gift shop there cos I really wanted to get myself a Marie key-chain to accompany the lonely Daisy Duck one I gotten as a gift two or three years back. Hehehehe. I think this is all!!! :) + Sister and Alvinn came to fetch us back home! So thankful!! Cos I felt unwell almost the whole trip?? Think it was the lack of sleep plus weather plus uncomfortable pillow. :'( I was in so much pain I almost cried when Mummy rubbed my shoulders for me.
Even though this trip wasn't what I anticipated it to be but I'm still happy!! Even happier to know that Mummy and Len both enjoyed their time at Genting... without me. LOL. Hahahaha. No la. Nothing comforts me more than when Mummy's happy you know. :) She's been working so hard all this while, she totally deserve fun time and I'm glad I wasn't there to ruin it for her cos I alwaysssssssssssssss, without fail, get angry with Lensen when we're out together.
