HONG KONG!!!

Day 1



okies so we went to hk via sq... upon reaching hk, we took a train to kowloon then took a shuttle bus to our hotel: Kowloon Hotel. which apparently was the same hotel that vanessa and all the other SIA air stewardess stay at! hahaha so after placing our stuff in the room, we went down for dinner at one of the road side stalls... wa damn nice la... i just love the food in hk ever since i was a kid... hahaha explains why i balooned up during that period... :p after dinner we went to sogo and new world centre... walked through avenue of stars which is very similar to the hollywood walk... was trying to take the "JY-flying-kick-into-bruce-lee's-head" pic but was too dark and damn hard to pull off... :S hahaha went back and bought my favourite instant noodles with pork! at 7-11 somemore hahaha woots!

Day 2



2nd day we decided to take the MTR to go back to our old home somewhere near causeway bay for breakfast but the shop was closed... so we ate at another place for yum cha... then we walked around to find the other shop and managed to find it! hahaha i da pao-ed a "zha leong" which is you tiao wrapped with chee cheong fan skin... wa heavenly sia... hahaha then we took the tram to a market then got off... then took a cab up to our old home called Pacific Palisdes aka po ma san fa yun. wa it was like the same as how we last saw it la... including the xiu ba (mini bus) service which we took to go to times square. did some shopping at times square before we took the mtr to central and walked to the peak tram station. wa so friggin long queue lo... but we damn stupid cos we had their so called ez-link card called the "octopus card" and can actually just walk through the barrier by tapping the card... -_- hahaha so the tram ride was steep la! haha finally we reached the top and had dinner at some very posh restaurant. more towards the candle light dinner type and not family meal kind... lol cos they had couple seats outside on the ledge and the night scenery of hong kong from the peak... like the best place to bring someone to propose to sia... hahaha yup then we walked to the bus stop and omg... a whole bunch of jap girls in school uniform got off the bus la! KNS! wasted... hahaha yeah anyways the bus ride was just jaw-dropping... why? just imagine initial D. a double deckered bus going downhill on a mountain-winding-two-way-one-lane-road... wa just thrilling... hahaha especially when 2 buses pass each other going the opposite direction and not even slowing down or what... hahaha power la... then we stopped at central and walked to star pier to take the ferry across to kowloon side... haha we also saw the lights show which starts at 7pm i think everyday. all the buildings will be lighted up and a lazer and light show will be shown... wa really nice stuff... after ariving at kowloon side, we walked through harbour city ocean centre then went to tang chao... a dessert shop which i found out from the hotel staff... wa their mango pudding was shiok la... and their mango, sago and pamello dessert was way better than the ones here in singapore la... hahaha
