HongKong - Day 1 [20th Oct]
Wah! It's getting more advenced and high-tech sehz...
Normally we need to pass our passport to the officer working at the counter, then can proceed into the duty-free area. But there's new machines, the automated clearance machine, just scan the passport and fingerprint and here you go~~ Haha...
Went into the duty-free area. Weet~ We saw this super big sized cigarette 'Marlboro'. Haha...
Took a 3hours flight there. Watched "Halloween Fear Factor". Eeeyer, gross!
Reached Hk at 11.30pm. Gotta took a private bus to our hotel at
'You Ma Di'[Happy Valley], just near 'Nan Ren Jie'.
40minutes journey to our destination.
Eh, in S'pore. Our train is called MRT, but theirs is called MTR. Kekeez... And another type of train called KCR. So complicated. LOL.. Don't know what it stand for lar. Haha...
OMG~~ Super lar, the hotel. Miserable~~ Of all the hotels i went before in my entire life. This one i confirmed, the smallest i've ever visit. Small and cosy huh?? LOL...
Heard that the amount of square feet here are selling away at an ultra high price. Maybe that's the reason for the space in the hotel yar! LOL.. Haha... =P
'Unload' e luggages, it's 12am plus already. Went to those street stall to have claypot rice. Heez... We sat in the middle of the 'T-cross' road to have our supper sehz! Unbelievable eh, can't do that in S'pore. LOL...
Went back to hotel after that. Took another flight, to the Dream Land! Heez... =P
Headed to 'Tsim Sha Tsui' to have our breakfast. Hk's breakfast, sure have congee included. Yep, nice breakfast! =)
Went to 'Tai Ping Shan' next.
The tour guide said, alot of actors actresses live there, along our way to 'Tai Ping Shan'. 'Cheng Long' live at the peak of the mountain in a bunglow... Ai sehz~~
No wonder Hk has so many kiddnapping cases to handle. All the rich actors and actresses live together so near, and almost everyone know where they live. Paparazzi... LOL... Took photos there.
They said touch the 'Goddess of fortune', after touching. put your hands in your pockets to prevent it from 'flying' away. And will be richer.
And guess what? I went to touch the 'Goddess of Happiness', no more unhappy things, no more depress matters, i wish.. Wanna happy-go-lucky days. Heez... All shooo shooo~~ Haha... Next to location 'Qian Shui Wan', don't remember what we did there. No impression of it. LOL... I'm having 'S.T.M'! Wahaha.. =P
We took our mini bus to 'Shueng Wan', took a ride in the boat, touring around the 'Yu Chun Ming-[Fish Village]'.
Took photos with the Jumbo, the boat where it is converted to restaurant in it, super expensive eating there yar! LOL... =D
On the way back to jetty, we saw this bridge. The guy working there told us this is the bridge where 'Cheng Long' acted in 1 of his movie and he jumped down 14metres into the sea.
Got to 'Tsim Sha Tsui' once again, have our lunch there. Ate seafood, got our 'Da Zha Xie'! Heez... Don't taste as nice as a normal crab. Maybe don't appreciate it. LOL.. =P
Walked around, exploring. Haha... Ended up saw this dessert shop, went in to eat dessert. Had my 'Honeydew Sago'! ^-^ Hee...
Evening time, passed by this 'Cha can ting'.
Decided to settle our dinner there. Got my 'Beef HorFun'.. We ended up ordering too much food. Didn't manage to finish all up. Heez... Cos don't know their 1 dish is equals to LARGE plate's. LOL...
Headed to 'Miao Jie',[Nan ren jie] at night. It was quite crowded. But many things to see and buy. Wahaha... Yep, went back to hotel afterward. Was dead tired.
Slept soundly throughout the whole night. Haha... =D
Bye and sugar dreams! =)
Woke up at 7am. Set off at 7.45am for the train[KCR] to 'ShenZhen', in China.
So we settled our breakfast at the train station. Had my 'Shredded ham macaroni soup'! Haha...
Then it's time to board the train. Destination is 'Luo Hu', where the custom to China's 'ShenZhen' is located at. Had a 40minutes journey.
Our main aim was to buy lots of cheap items in ShenZhen, but we still need to follow the temp. tour guide to some locations as it was planned as part of the schedule.
Wanna go 'free & easy' shopping ourselves, cos those locations we had visited twice at the beginning of this year, Jan. time..
First location, she brought us to the local mineral museum, to see the "Pi Xiu" - a creature with a dragon head; a horse body; and a 'Qi Ling's' legs. To either protect us from 'xiao ren', bring luck or even bring fortunes.
Besides the "Pi Xiu" thingy, mama bought some tea leaves[chinese tea]. Saw this 'BeiJing shi fu', help to write peoms with people's chinese names in it. We requested for ours. So that piece of peom consists of my dad, mum, sis and my name in it. ^-^ The price is also reasonable, so bought it. Heez...
After that, passed by "Shi Jie Zhi Zhuang"[Windows of the world], one of their ShenZhen's tourist locations. Have a break to WC[washroom], so we took some photos. The second visit we took the photos of this location. Kekeez... =)
Lunch time!! We had it in one chinese tourist restaurant. Ate "Ru Ge"[pigeons], one of the well-known dishes in China and HK areas. But, this meal really taste pathetic. The delicious and famous "Ru ge" is located at "Sha Tian", which i think we'll be visiting there tonight. Heez... The tour guide will be bringing to some places to buy their local products 'Tu Chan', bought some cookies after tasted the samples.
Next, visited a factory where they produced those silk from the cocoons, to make those mattresses and bed sheets' cotton, etc. Eeeyer! gross gross process~~~
My sis and i really hate that stupid tour guide. Cos we were like, resting/sleeping in the small bus. When we reached destination to buy their local products.
We requested to wait in the bus for the rest. Cos were damn exhausted. Keep alighting n boarding the bus. She straight away said."Bu ke yi!" With those 'bu shuang' attitude.. Sucks! In e end, we alighted.. -_-
After everything, the tour guide will have to collect their tips and our comments/suggestions. We ticked all bad. LOL... It's really...horrendous - to be more exaggerating. LOL...
And finally! That's all following the tour guide. Free and easy time! But... more than half a day have gone. =( Heez...
Backed to 'Luo Hu' station, getting to the custom to return back to HK. =)
Cos 'ShenZhen' is famous for its cheap items and bargaining. Haha... So we've had our shopping there in a mall.
Bought some items i like, a 'Bathing ape jacket'. Heez... Cut the price to almost half, although it's still abit expensive.
Haha... Our legs are almost breaking apart, after walking for hours. Got to a massaging shop in the mall, got our foot-massage. Repaired my foot nails, cause of some damages few months ago. Arh!! My dad meet up his friend, Uncle Low.
This is Dad's many years friend, Uncle Low[Left] who i was talking about for the past few paras. Heez.. =P
He brought us to the well-known 'Ru ge' in "Sha Tian", took MTR train there. We had it 8 years ago, 8 years later, it's still so delicious~~ Haha... =D
After settling our dinner. Headed back to 'Wang Jiao'.
Have dessert! They have their 'Dan-dan'[In cantonese]. A sort of dessert consist of some egg ingredient. I got my 'Zhi ma tang yuan'! Heez... Really bloated, keep on eating and eating and walking. Like what Angela jie said. "Mai dong xi chi dong xi mai dong xi chi dong xi" Haha...
Took cabs back to our hotel, no more strength to walk all the way back. Haha... And after bathing, nice sleep! Really exhausted. Lol..
Today was a free and easy day. Gathered at lobby at 8.30am. Don't need to be so early, cos no tour guide waiting. Haha... Can said the whole of today - MTR train day. Lol...
The main transportation, besides cabs. To 'Zhong Huan-[Central]' to have 'Wanton mee'. Finally found it after walking along way. Nice~~ The 'shui jiao' is big, with crunchy big prawn. Haha...
Next, walked a few streets and saw this milk tea restaurant. Went in, drink e milk tea and rest. Hee...
Took MTR to the IFC mall, which links to the World Trade Centre. Took a ferry to "Lamma Island - [Nan Ya Dao]".
Explored there, quite a small island, some souvenior shops. This island famous for its seafood. Had our seafood there.
Funny lit Alan finding his own coke was lost after coming back to seat. Haha... =P
Left at 3.30pm for the ferry, backed to IFC mall.
It's like the 'Paragon' in S'pore. Ha...
Took MTR to 'Wang Jiao'. Entered a mall, the stuffs there are expensive. Didn't buy anything. Just walked around and went to another place. Strolling~~ Heez...
1 thing, the toilets are hard to find, seemed like there's no toilet at all. Was searching for so long, ended up in KFC at the basement. -_- Other than that, if there is, it's normally locked up.
Around evening time. Once again, took MTR to 'Tsuen Wan', which is at the far end of the map, just like Jurong east Mrt location in S'pore. LOL...
Meet up Uncle Low after his work there.
He brought us to eat 'Shao er rou - [Roasted goose]'.
Arrived, took cabs to the 'unknown place' to me. *Haha*.
Dinner we ate there. Afterwards, took cabs back to the station where we came from. Take a train ride to 'Wang Jiao', headed to 'Nu Ren Jie[Ladies Street]'. The highlight of the day! Haha... Can buy varieties of stuffs there. ^-^
Went to Adidas shop, just a few streets across 'Nu ren jie'. Bought a pair of new shoes. Heez... I will have a habit of buying shoes whenever going overseas. LOL...
Back to 'Nu ren jie', saw this Gucci Hp strip. Real cheap! But is a fake 1 lar.
LOL... Sis and me bought it together, to have a even cheap price. Haha..
Guess what next? I finally saw "Chou dou fu"! Heez...
Not many people will like to eat cos of its smell. They said it's smelly. Haha.. =D
One of the 'A Must' thing to try when come to HK. Haha... So long didn't have it, bought 2 sticks, with 2 'dou fu[fried beancurd]' in it in each stick.
Nice~~ Haha... By the time, real dead... Legs are breaking soon, soles were in pain. =( Hahaha... =P
Walked back to the hotel, i think it's a 20 minutes walk. And finally, the hotel is in our sight! LOL... So it means we've reached 'You ma di[Happy Valley]'.
'Dipped' myself into the bathtub, with warm water. *shiok!*
Real relaxing after a day ended. Haha...
Taking flight DL003 to my DreamLand again, after writing this piece of 'diary'. Heez... =)
Need to wake up at 8am, gotta reach the Airport by 11am to check-in. Alright! Gotta stop here. Night and take care! =D
Wake up at 9am. Mama was hurrying us. Haha... Cos we overslept. LOL...
Set off for our breakfast nearby our hotel. Went to the 'Cha can ting'. Have congee, 'dim sum' all those. Afterwards, headed back to hotel to have all our things packed.
And set off to Airport.
Have to wait till around 3pm plus then able to board the plane. Watched 'Cars' in the plane. LOL.. Cool lar! Wahaha...
One of the quote, "Speed, I'm Speed! 1 competition; 1 winner and 2 losers."
Woot~ Being 1 way to get brighten up, being optimistic. Nice~ =) Heez...
Reach S'pore at 6pm plus. Went to Ah ma's house at Yishun, heard the maid said she got 'lao ren chi dai zhen' on Sunday morning, forgetting the place she stayed and the people around her. But when we visited her, she's still perfectly fine, knowing who is who. Huh.. *Or is it just sometimes only..* (?_?)
Walked to Blk 848 to have our dinner. Afterwards, back home. I missed my bed badly! Wahahaz... =D Yep, that's all for today! =)
