Updates: Hong Kong

I shall do a quickie update about my trip to Hong Kong. I won't be uploading pictures, so just go to my facebook and have a look! :D

Day 1:
Woke up super early in the morning. I had only 2 hour of sleep that day. Arrived in Hong Kong sometime in the afternoon. My dad somehow couldn't make up his mind on whether to take the MTR or taxi to our hotel. In the end, we decided to take a taxi to our hotel. The hotel was not bad.

After checking in and stuffs, we headed to the food court located downstairs our hotel. My brother and I were EPIC FAILURES in ordering our first meal in HK. HAHA. Both of us couldn't speak nor understand Cantonese. We kept pointing at the meal at the top, but the lady at the counter couldn't see. We panicked for a little while, then some guy in front helped us. Couldn't stop laughing at what failures we are.

Shopping after lunch at Canton Road. It was nearby our hotel. We shopped at H&M and I bought 3 tops! Went on to Harbour City and by then, I swore shopping in HK was like in shopping in Singapore. Dinner was superb. Continued the day at Ladies Market. It was just like Chinatown in Singapore. Didn't buy anything and I was dying to go back to the hotel because my back was aching. But desserts made feel better.

Thankfully, I was able to sleep that night.


Day 2:
We decided to go to Ocean Park today! We had breakfast at Sweet Dynasty, which was opposite our hotel. Ocean Park was pretty fun! I saw pandas, fishes, alligators, sea lions and many more. The only ride we took was Merry-Go-Round. However, the rain spoiled the day. The remaining half of the day was spent indoor doing nothing and waiting for the rain to stop, which didn't.

Took a bus back down and I felt asleep. We then headed off to Causeway Bay. I bought a camera pouch for freaking around $35. But it's chio okay! I drank Starbucks! Luckily, I was able to sleep at night. in conclusion, there was nothing much at Causeway Bay. Disappointing. Back was aching again that night :(


Day 3:
We went to Macau today! The ferry ride was really uncomfortable because of the choppy waves. Yeah, it rained again. Arrived at Macau and we decided to have a tour guide to bring us around. We went to this place to shop. I forgot what was it called. I bought 2 pairs of 3-quarter pants. Then we headed to Ruins of St. Paul, ate Portuguese egg tarts and ended our day at The Venetian. It was really built as if we were in Venice. The gondola rowers were really good singers. We played at the casino too! I was at legal age to enter the casino! Hell yeah, 18! I tried my luck at playing and I lost all my money. Sad lah. HAHA. Took the ferry back to Hong Kong again. This time, I really felt sick that I only wanted to lie down on my bed in the hotel. I felt uncomfortable to the extent that I didn't feel like bathing, which I did in the end.


Day 4:
Today's weather was lovely! We wanted to go this old school cafe and eat, but it was undergoing renovations. Ended up having McDonalds breakfast. Then we took the MTR to Lantau Island, well, not exactly there. We had to take a cable car over to Lantau Island.

It was my first time taking a cable car! Super excited! My brother was freaking scared of heights lah. It wasn't for his strong objection, we would have taken the crystal cable car which means you can see below too! Freaking cool right, but my brother lah. Tsk. The wind blowing into the cable car was freaking cold and shiok! Anyway, the attraction at Lantau Island is this really big Buddha statue which you have to climb a super long flight of stairs up. I was literally panting like MAD. Then, we went down quickly because it was going to rain. Cable car back to Citygate to shop. There was seriously NOTHING to buy there even though it was all outlet shops.

At night, we decided to visit Victoria Peak. The tram ride up was freaking AWESOME AND COOL. Read that. We were literally tilting at an angle as we headed up and back down. All the buildings looked as if it was slanting. Freaking funny. Anyway, we went up to the Peak Tower and the night view was magnificently breathtaking. The weather was super shiok. It was cold! After that, we went to Madame Tussuads' Wax Museum. The wax figurine really looked like real people! Anyway, we finally had authentic HK food for dinner. HAHA.


Day 5:
It's the day to go home today! We went back to H&M to shop. I bought a lot more tops today. HAHA. Yay! I have more clothes to wear to school now. Walked around the nearby places. We wanted to go to Avenue of Stars, but we took a wrong turn and ended up somewhere else. So we didn't go in the end. Anyway, went back to the hotel to get our luggage. I was really excited to go back to Singapore because of F1. HAHA. For a period of time at the airport, I kept singing Korean songs non-stop. HAHA. I guess I was too high.

Well, that's all folks about my trip to Hong Kong. I'm still freaking lazy to upload pictures onto my blog.

:D :D :D
