Updates in Hong Kong
Its been 2 weeks since the last post..
I have been really lazy these days..
Sleeping in the wee hours at night (early morning) and waking up real late in the afternoons..
This is because we are experiencing real bad weather here, for the past 3 days, the wind has been blowing non-stop..its so gloomy all day and the rain has been incessant..
Rain and wind here comes in all directions..thus a brolly doesn't really help, which is why I dun bring my bright red CUHK brolly out...
I never had the habit of carrying brollies out anyway..
The past two weeks had been fun, and not so fun..
Hong Kong Location #1
Ocean Park - every HK kid's dream.
But it was a really bad trip cos there were armies of PRCs, and they totally spoilt the trip.
They were rude and noisy and love to jump Qs and squeeze in between little gaps..
ARGH... *puiz*
Anyway, the dolphins and jellyfishes and fishies were really cute..
And the stingrays made me hungry..
AND.....
I conquered the Free-fall yet again..Hooray..But it was soo soo scary..
but the view was sooo worth it!!
And for the first time in my life, I see panda!!
Yay..and hor, they shit alot...
Green colour one!! =p
Hong Kong Location #2
Lantau Island, Tai-O Village, Disneyland(the entrance)
We had to travel 2 hours to Lantau Island and the trip was soo horrible..the roads were narrow and we turned at least 100 revolutions to get up to the very famous Big Buddha at Po Lin Monastry..
The Buddha was over-whelming and it was soo high up that the clouds just float pass us..
Its better than Genting, really..
But one thing I learn; Clouds smell bad!!
We then went to Tai-O Fishing village for dinner, a very disappointing SEAFOOD dinner, cos out of 10 dishes, the only seafood we had was prawns and fish..WTF..
It totally spoilt my day...!!
We were then rushed to Disneyland to catch the fireworks..
It was really pretty...!!
However, at 830, when all the visitors "charged" out of the exit..
The thought that ran through my mind..re-enforced my determination of not going to HK Disneyland..
Those PRCs tourist!!
They will spoilt every magical details of Disneyland..
NO way will I let them make my 70SGD ticket go to waste..
Magical moments of Disneyland will have to wait till USA =)
Location #3 - Macau
HOT HOT HOT..Like an oven....
The heat at Macau was really UNBEARABLE!!
We felt so sticky and hot and upset...
Went dog-racing, casinos, St Paul's Ruins..
I lost money...argh!!!
Ate alot of yummy food at road-side stalls...
And bought 2 pairs of sneakers =)
Hong Kong Location #4 - Yuen Long..
I really didn't place much hopes on the lunch..due to the bad experience from the previous SEAFOOD dinner..
And gosh, when you dun place much hopes, food can turn out to be real good..
We ate super-duper-delicious Pun-Choi as lunch, Lao-po-bing for tea...
We then left the school tour to explore Yuen Long ourselves...
Managed to hunt down the very famous B-Zai-Leung-Fan!!
We ordered the hot-favorite fruits platter with leung fan (grass jelly) and mango hor-fun (WEIRD) and this Durian pudding which looked totally unappetising, but turned out to be a knock-out!! The durian hidden was sooo delicious!!! YUmmy!!
And we had thai food for dinner, not as great as the authentic thai cuisine, but still yummy!!
And of course, the day ended with shopping ;)
PS: My cantonese is getting real good!! heehee..
PPS: My vampire is coming to HONGKONG!! Yay...
I am soo excited...
I love you darling...
Lets go watch the fireworks and soak in the nightview together..
(and bring lots if cash with you ok!!) ;P
