New Territories Museum Tour
***************************************************
The 2nd cultural tour we had was to this temple and HOng Kong Heritage Museum in Shatin.
Cos CUHK is in Shatin, I assume they decided that we should very much understand Shatin better.
The temple is kinda "normal" and "ordinary". Just a worship place for the dieties, Buddha and yes, our HK fren's dead relatives.
The museum, was nothing museumy ;p You know wat i mean rite?
It was quite weird in a sense, as they have this theme - "Megastore - Not for sale" All things of HK taste was arranged like in a supermarket kinda of style..like in a furniture showroom, or like along a laundry street. Nothing interesting seriously. But we gals (yes, 8 noisy gals) managed to giggle, squeal and roar in laughter amongst the exhibits.
Dinner was pretty good. Roast chicken and meatballs from IKEA. Yummy. Shucks..I am actually craving for them now.. =P
Thats really all to the trip.
Yup, holidays is all about ups and downs.
This is the down.
But tomorrow (02/07) will be a up. Cos its Ocean Park.
Hip hip hurray =)
Some photos of the 8 of us =)

Tong Lo Wan & Tsim Sha Tsui
Yay!! I conquer yet another small portion of HongKong the other day.
I know I am really lagging in posting pics and blogging..
Pls forgive cos I am really slacking (and having too much fun)!!
Ok dokie..so back to Causeway Bay aka Tong Lo Wan.
Its really a upclass place. You can simply relate it to Oxford Street in London, 5th Avenue in NewYork, or simply Raffles City or Ngee Ann City in Singapore. Come to think of it, Singapore is pretty pathetic in defining a street dedicated to expensive brands. Anyway, the first store we hit was Coach. And gosh, the Coach here is at least 10% cheaper. I "look up" (kan shang) at least 3 bags!! And the coach sneakers I am lusting for, was going at HALF PRICE! But, fuck the duck (i just learnt this from the show - Wimbledon ;P) they only have it in red. I was like..argh!!! the whole day. Oh well... Shopping still have to go on rite? But not before we fill our hungry stomachs! We ate KFC!! The ambassador of KFC is actually Che Tian. Pls go download his songs and google him if you dunno him already. His songs are like a megahit in HK rite now. And i know him!! I am sooo proud of myself.. =) Anyway, KFC was nothing impressive lah..Singapore's one is alot more juicy..but the ones here have criss-cut fries and yummy scones-like buns =)
We then walked around Causeway Bay (depressively) cos the clothes are very very nice. But also with a very very pricey tag. Especially this street called Paterson Street when Island Fashion is..!! We could buy anything but we decided to make the best out of the long walk by taking pictures with the latest Coca Cola stars!!!
*********************************************************
When Weizhen came, we just stood around to eat some roadside snacks. And i had my first "Curry Fishballs - Ka Li Yu Dan" here. It was....rubbery? Haha =)
*********************************************************
We then walked a long long road to take the ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui...How can i miss any photo-taking chances?
Shall let the pics do the talking!! =D
