i've never failed to do up a post for every vacation so far so here's my latest HK trip :D
it may be darn late but better late than never haha.
cos my internet got prob uploading the pics.
alot of the pics have been left out alr but still it took me damn long to upload everything!
SO PLEASE ENJOY IT :D
Day 1 - 1st July
Singapore->Hong Kong->Tsim Sha Tsui
the day started off darn early with mum,bf & i reaching changi at 6 plus in the morning for our 8.10am flight.
totally zombiefied then cos i slept really little that night and wasn't really feeling up for the trip.
barely recovered from that high fever and yet had to go to HK.
die also must go cos i needed that break lol!
so our flight to HK - CATHAY PACIFIC
my 1st time on cathay so i was expecting alot but nevertheless it was alright only.
SQ FTW PLS! haha.
slept all the way once again cos really tired out T.T
touched down and headed to take the airport express!
went to Kowloon station to take the Airport Express Shuttle bus to The Cityview!
stayed there for the entire 5 days and it was an alright hotel :D
near MTR + clean too~
the superior room was fully booked so they upgraded mum & i to the deluxe room!
it's HKD200 more than the superior room but it still was smaller than i expected.
nevertheless very happy liao. the previous year when i went to HK with sinhui we stayed in a BOX pls lol.
so this room is gooooooooooood ^^
changed out and headed out with mum for lunch after checking-in.
hopped onto the MTR from Yaumatei to Tsim Sha Tsui!
yes,everytime w/o fail i will go to yoshinoya for a meal in HK/taiwan.
you can check my archives and you'll realise that hahaha!
i don't like eating in HK cos there's really not much you can eat there other than fast food/cha chan teng/restaurants.
so it's always a MASSIVE headache to choose where to eat.
and since that was a place i was familiar with,i went there for lunch.
anw dirt cheap too compared to sg!
haha,bought cough medicine at Tsim Sha Tsui too cos i was coughing like mad that day.
turns out that medicine was required the entire trip cos i was coughing EVERYDAY on that trip :(
anw walked around Tsim Sha Tsui that day.
mum & i are massive Watson's fans so 1st stop was the 2-storey one next to Yoshinoya haha!
then off to Sasa and Sogo followed finally by Avenue of Stars.
despite this being my 3rd trip to HK,i've never gotten the chance to go to Avenue of Stars so was quite excited to go there.
but erh,nothing very nice also :x
after that we left to shop even more at Tsim Sha Tsui followed by Harbour City.
shop until wanna die liao cos i was half sick then headed back to hotel early cos i was qt sick.
early night in so i can be fresh for Disneyland tomorrow! :D
Day 2 - 2nd July
Breakfast->Disneyland
woke up feeling alot better thanks to the cough medicine.
it's some HK brand that's qt good.
i even bought back a few more just to stock up.
anw Disneyland that day :D
it was a friday so mum & i decided to go that day instead of the weekends since we were staying till monday only.
it's my 3rd time at HK Disneyland! HAHA!
was a little sian of it but my mother wanted to go so okay!
who's complaining when i get to buy many disney stuff there FOC :D
we caught the summer fun parade (no pics cos damn lazy to upload. can check my last yr trip pics,exactly the same thing.) and the weather was kinda gloomy so we decided to go for indoor rides.
went for 4D ride followed by the Winnie the Pooh ride and finally lunch!
no breakfast that day so early lunch for us.
everything in HK is either chicken,char siew,roast pork or duck :x
it's as if they don't have anything else :(
i think i put on alot of weight there just by eating all these everyday w/o fail!
nevertheless,lunch was horrid and expensive.
next time go Disneyland pls bring your own food or go somewhere else!
this one was abit :/ for me.
we took alot of rides which i cannot really remember now (LOL!) and then kinda got bored and just nice it was time for the parade.
and once again,i've seen it the year before so it wasn't exactly a new thing for me lol.
BUT i stayed in the dry zone this time as opposed to the wet zone last year cos i had my beloved Donghae (my DSLR) with me this time so cannot get wet.
anw it's kinda dumb cos i still got abit wet but not THAT wet like last yr haha!
sinhui,no need to open umbrella this time round lol :D
after the parade we went to take the disney rail train.
never took that before haha so had to take it.
i told myself that this trip would be one of the last trips to HK for now cos it's really abit sian alr :x
just like how i felt at the end of my 3rd taiwan trip.
so those that i didn't take on the previous 2 trips,i had to take it!
and i didn't regret it haha!
cos i discovered aliens on the track :D
got off the railway train and walked at the emporium there buying things like mad haha!
i think we spent like 700SGD in that day alone :x
all huge Disney fans :D
i refused to queue up for any character greetings cos most of them have been taken before already except Chip & Dale.
it will always be my regret that i've never taken a pic with them before :(
anw stayed all the way till the fireworks.
even had dinner there in Disneyland.
see,was like so sian 1/2 that i really had no mood :(
all the time spent doing FOP killed my body and i was moody + sick most of the time.
nevertheless,wanted to make the trip worthwhile for my mum so just endure :x
headed back to the hotel after that totally exhausted haha!
Day 3 - 3rd July
Breakfast(Chee Cheong Fun)->Citygate Outlets->Disneyland Hotels->Mongkok
woke up really late the next day!
i think Disneyland exhausted me once more.
every morning mum and i will have a routine.
she wakes up 1st to shower and then she'll watch tv after that.
when it approaches ard 9.30am then she'll wake me up and then i go bathe.
then i will stone awhile before we go out after that.
i've never woken up so late on holiday before haha so it's definitely a first!
EXHAUSTION TO THE MAX! T.T
breakfast eating chee cheong fun!! :D
headed to Tung Chung to shoppppppppppp (:
we spent about half the day there.
wasn't feeling that well again despite taking the cough medicine the night before again.
had to take panadol to suppress my pounding head before i could really enjoy shopping.
nevertheless,i still managed to buy stuff there :D
bought CK boxers for the bf and a pair of shoes from adidas.
mum bought ALOT more than me this time haha.
she literally went crazy there.
after that she suggested going to the Disneyland Hotel cos she say the day before cldn't go cos it was too late.
so might as well go now since we're nearby.
so off we went!
after visiting both hotels (and buying more stuff!) we went back to our hotel to rest + put all our shopping stuff down.
oh did i mention that i salon-pased my shoulders that day too?
total unglam but my shoulders were all stiff shut so it was that or have a grumpy day.
headache + stiff shoulders + bad cough = FML T.T
after recharging,finally went to Mongkok!
went to Bossini and mum proceeded to buy out the store.
jk,lol! but she really bought alot from there.
it's like her favourite store along with Giordano.
after that i bought many Kuromi stuff from Trendyland! :D
and then we went to Ladies' Market and left just buying PJs.
dinner then head back to hotel alr.
hotel is darn near Mongkok!
like 5 mins walk away?
i totally love The Cityview more than Yang Cheng Bin Guan! :D
cough medicine that night again cos cough was still persisting.
watched the last episode of Cinderalla's Sister there.
i stopped at episode 16 and since i caught the last episode in HK (episode 20),i've decided not to watch the in between ones cos i read the synopsis alr hahahaha~
Day 4 - 4th July
McDonalds->Central->Mongkok->Charlie Brown Cafe (Tsim Sha Tsui)
didn't want CCF for breakfast so we went Macs instead near the hotel.
macs has interesting breakfast items in HK.
after that took the train to Central because I wanted to go to the 3 storey H&M there!
decided to give The Peak a miss cos we've been there already and it would've been my 3rd time up there again so didn't go.
plus we were running low on cash! HAHAHAHA.
had a sudden inspiration to go to SoHo to find the bakery Jo Kwon & Gain went to in Feb.
so just anyhow walked in search of the bakery and FOUND IT AFTER AWHILE =]
the eggtart there is heavenly!
even the ang mohs visiting there bought boxes of them.
too bad i was only going back the next evening if not i would have bought more back to eat hahah.
had to settle for an extra eggtart to tabao back to the hotel.
we went back to hotel to rest after coming back from Central.
i've never rested so much on a trip before because i think it's quite wasteful to not fully utilise your time there since uve paid for the trip.
but i really needed the rest because i was feeling burnt out from 3 camps for SCAMP!
not to say i regret,but it was honestly tiring T.T
anw recharge finish we went to Mongkok and we bought like crazy again :D
mum bought alot of Giordano stuff while i bought cheaper stuff like those you can find at Bugis but at dirt cheap prices.
feeling really satisfied we went for dinner and headed back to hotel.
then i really really wanted to go to the Charlie Brown Cafe that i went to in 2007 to buy Woodstock stuff so mum said why not go that night.
we may not have time to go the next day anyway.
so i was like okay! haha i was feeling much better than so energy was back wohoo!
took the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui and slowly walk there based on my memory from 2007 to the place i saw the cafe.
and we found it :D
chilled there for awhile and i bought stuff too~
woodstock! hahaha many loves (:
go back hotel to pack and sleep.
Day 5 - 5th July
Breakfast->H&M->Harbour City->Giordano->Hotel->Kowloon->Airport->Home Sweet Home
last day in HK spent at Harbour City & H&M!
i didn't buy anything from the outlet in Central cos the queue was horrendous!
so went back to the Harbour City outlet to try and find stuff.
the clothes there are really nice and you cannot find them in SG!
I LIKE :D
but before that,last CCF meal in HK :(
and mum went to Giordano to spend more $ again after we left Harbour City!
LOL i told you she loves Giordano *()#@&(*#&@!*(&!(*@&!*()@
after that went back to hotel and we took the bus to Kowloon.
checked in at Kowloon station instead of the airport.
totally awesome cos don't need to lug the luggage onto the train lol.
dinner @ the airport before boarding the plane and home sweet home! :D
marce came to fetch me and i was really happy~ haha.
okay,that's the end of my HK trip.
it might sound boring but it serves as a memory for me hence this entry.
i think i would have enjoyed it more if i was more fit physically but nevertheless,it was a good trip!
now i want to go to korea next. anyone? :D
