Hello, okay so I've decided I'll do a really quick HongKong update with photos included.
HongKong Trip 16th June - 23rd June 2007So my sister and I flew to HongKong on the 16th of June.
Hmm, I watched "
The Pursuit of Happyness" during that flight thinking it was a happy
show when actually it was a very depressing one. Of course, I did tear a bit. That
show's actually quite true, about how people just keep pursuing happiness but when
they find it, it only lasts a moment. So I was thinking how it was so true that on
the contrary, whenever you're sad, it takes so long for that to heal. So why do
people actually search so frantically for happiness? Shouldn't we all be content
with what we already have? I suppose it's human nature that all of us are guilty
of.
Anyways, on the same flight as us was Manda and Roger.
It was not a coincidence that they were on the same flight as us cuz Manda booked it
knowing I was on it. But it was a coincidence that they sat on the same row as us!
Haha so I busy annoying Manda by staring at her from the window seat :)
And so, 3.5 hours later, we arrived in Hong Kong! :)
Oh what nice pretty poofy clouds.
So we had lunch at Lei Yun. (Lee Gardens in English)
My sister's husband is taking the photo so it isn't complete! But the food is great
as usual.
This is just a random photo of my sister and I. She's looking up thru the moon-roof
or something that's bigger than that.
Anyways, so one night, we went to Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel to have the BEST
Jap food EVERRRR. It's called Nishimura. Shiokssss.
We are retarded I know.
This is the view from Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel. I love it. :)
So we went home that night and played Wii! :)
Okay we do that EVERY NIGHT.
But anyways, Wii is fun, really fun !
That's me holding a bowling ball. Aren't I cute? :D
By the way, I suck at bowling. (In fact, we went bowling on one of the days).
But I'm a GREAT virtual bowler.
Seeee! My score is 199 :)
Look at our Mii charactersss Heeheeheeee
Okay so we did TONNES of shopping. Very fun.
But you know what made me leap, jump, scream and GIGGLE in hysteria? :D
EDISON CHEN! MY ONE AND ONLY. Omg, he's soooooo CUTEEEEEE
For those who want to see this, you have to go to Times Square in Hong Kong. Heehee
Near Times Square in Causeway Bay, there's a great dandan shop. (it's like steamed
milk egg thingy)
YUMMMMY
So another night, we went to Black Stump, this really good beer place.
Here's a bird's eye view.
This is the stump. I don't drink beer but this is refreshing.
This is really a disjointed entry but I don't care.
I think it was Tuesday that we went to H&M.
It was SOOOO CROWDED that I felt like dying. We went on the public holiday. It was
Dragon Boat Festival. Haha.
My eldest sister was the one who was most excited to go there but she only got 1
dress while my second sis and I went crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Hahaha
On the way out of Central, we saw this.
It was an eye opener.
OMG. Just say OMG.
It's a guy by the way. Some gigolo I suspect :
The next day, we had this really huge dinner at West Villa in Causeway Bay with my
sister, her husband and family and family friends.
This is us :)
So we were waiting in the restaurant room, sitting in front of a bowl of nuts and
getting really bored. Anyways, the background fact here is that I was kinda broke
cuz I blew most of my cash at H&M.
So my second sister told me that if she could throw one nut at me and I catch it w
my mouth, she'd give me 500HKD. Haha. Which is 100 sing dollars. Hahaha I was like
OKAYYY!
THIS IS ME WITH THE NUT IN MY MOUTH. CAN YOU SEE!!
My sister's husband caught the moment with the snap of the camera.
I couldn't believe that I seriously caught the nut cuz I suck at these things.
SO I GOT 500HKD :D hahahah I was veryyy happy.
On Thursday, we went to Zhu Hai (China) and Macau for some gambling.
In the cab to the ferry terminal.
Waiting to get tickets.
We headed to Zhu Hai first.
Can you see the mountain??
I was bothering her..
Seriously, my iPod is my LOVE.
And her too..
Anyways, we reached Zhu Hai. Had this driver person guy send us to this famous
restaurant.
This is the entrance to the restaurant.
I was like ?>@#>!#(*$ when I saw the stairs.
So China does have really sick, weird food. Eeeks.
See this.
These are sand worms.
Before
After.
Haha, I tell you. At first I got tricked by my brother in law that it was fish I was
eating. Then I realised that it looked oddly familiar!! Hahaaa shit man. But it was
tasty so I just ate it anyway.
Me being barbaric
Gross right..
This is what they freaking sell in the restaurant. YUCK.
I didn't know this is how China's supposed to look like. Quite pretty right.
Driving to Macau :)
We reached Crown, the new Casino.
I managed to only get half a shot of it.
This looks like a fake shot I know. But no editing at all! Haha :)
Pokiesss!
The toilet!
Anyways, so after much gambling, we went to this French Restaurant upstairs.
It looked really pretty but served very lousy food. And overpriced too!
Its name.
The outside balcony area
The inside area
I set it on timer and put it on the table!
The only thing good abt the place was the fantastic French Wine. :)
After Macau, we took the ferry home and then snoozed away. We were sooo tired..
So another day came and we went to Shatin unlike our usual Times Square, Harbour
City etc.
Had lunch at this place. VERYVERY yummy beef omelette rice thingy
Nice pretty flowers on the table
I LOVE YOU
You rock my world jie.
Ok so fast forward..
Let's talk about the night before we went back to Singapore.
We decided to play drinking games with Wii and the usual other nonsense games we
play.
The cousins came over etc and so it was very fun :)
We had our usual wine and stuff.
Then, came the REAL shit. :(
Black label SHOTS. Omg, badbadbad.
My brother in law refused to mix it with anything. WHAT THE HELL RIGHTTT.
The lethal weapon. Yucks.
And so it past midnight which means the day we leave :(
So I got drunk that night and I didnt even know till I woke up lying in bed with
brushed teeth already. Haha. Must be the stupid rules of not talking loudly (which
I cannot abide by), no pointing, no saying names etcetc.
So came the day we had to leave. Pouts.
Packing up in the room..
In the plane and very sad to leaveeee.
Ok! That's all I wanna update about HK. It was fun. I have other photos to upload
too but I'm lazy now. Plus, my second sis is back from HK! So I get to spend lots
of time with her again :)
Alrights I'm off. Nights world.
