Day one in HongKong

Day one

It was drizzling and foggy… so much that we cannot see DisneyLand (under construction) from the HsingMa Bridge… there are so many tall buildings and signs… made me dizzy… :s after crossing all the windy roads, we finally arrived at shamrock hotel… *hurray* at the reception, milk spotted a cute guy… hahaha in fact, the guys in shamrock are quite cute… ^^ we went up to our rooms after settling the check-in… remembering the genting trip… me n fish shared one room while milk n panda (tts yingjing’s new nick) shared the other room… alamak, my room is quite smoky ler… despite that it is the non-smoking level… we quickly got out of hotel after dumping the luggages in our rooms… now its time for action… FREE n EASY (i doubt so) in Hongkong… =)

First, we stopped in front of the control office at Jordan MTR… deciding whether to get the octopus tix… must calculate to see if its worthwhile to get the tix… after deciding, we tried to tell the officer wat we wan… haha luckily he could still understand us, so we got our octopus tix and took MTR to Hongkong Island… day one is supposedly planned by me to tour around the central and western district… heehee~ found some information on the internet n four brave girls are going to walk around… at first we are confused cuz there are so many trams stops… where to take the tram to western market? As we walked, we saw the big big LV poster which Brenda wans panda to take a pic of… *great* panda took a snap and we moved on… finally spotted a tram moving… wondering if we shld get on it... I dun wanna end up at Kennedy town which is super far from our destination… :s after being directed by a kind lady, we successfully board the correct tram to western market… but there is not much to see actually… quite different from wat I tot… there is an interesting shop selling bus models… and milk bought a doraemon bus model… after western market, we walked down to the shops as directed on the map… actually I wanted to see the Snake King shop which make snake soup wan… unfortunately many shops are closed on Sunday… managed to walk till Central-Midland Escalator though… Had wanton noodles there…. *special & nice* instead of minced meat, the wantons are huge and filled with prawns…. (this is probably why milk fell sick in the later days) =p and tried the beancurd which is very very SMOOTH n DELICIOUS… follow up, we saw a bookstore and went to explore… but nothing much lar… haha since we got plenty of time, we took a bus 6x to go Stanley Market… wah, it went uphill and circling the hill… *damn scary* K the buildings are super tall lor… cant imagine such tall buildings on hilly area? *bus sick le* :s but thanks to the winding and never ending bus ride, we got the chance to see repulse bay and the sea from the hill? The scenery was very nice… when we reached Stanley Market, we did quick shopping cuz the market is closing soon… after that, clever us took the express bus back… the express bus goes by tunnels so its faster and less windy… (and of cuz more ex?) after getting back to the harbour, we took Star Ferry back to Kowloon… slow and nice… we only took it once… then… watch the SyMpHoNy of LiGhT!!! Its very spectacular because there is fireworks… =) very beautiful… but its kinda hazy and I dunno how to take pic wan… so end up the pics not tat nice… after that, we walked the Xing Guang Da Dao which is really nothing much… den walked from there all the way till temple street… did a bit of shopping here and there… Along the way, we tried Cross-Bridge Noodles… its quite delicious! =p shopping is very tiring… *finally* we reached our hotel and had a good night rest…

Discover Hongkong~~~~*

This is the night before we are going to FLY to hongkong... of cuz, we dun have wings? we are taking a plane there... hahaha *stop lameness* at some point in time, i nearly thought the plan would be aborted due to two major incidents... once, milk decide to fly us kite and not go? yeah, i was damn pissed but lucky she decided to go again! twice, my mum objected due to some family problem... but in the end i was allowed to go anyway!

am i feeling excited? not quite... WHY? cuz i was dragged to bedok reservoir yesterday morning to jog for 5 km... and now my legs are aching like siaoz... hope tmr will get better lar... if not, how to walk walk in hongkong? i guess my excitement level will start to rise as i get to the airport tmr...

geez, my mum just called back to remind me to CALL HOME no matter wat... yaya, it was due to some incident donkey years ago....................... a little girl went to MELAKA trip when she was in primary FIVE... she was very excited and enjoyed herself thoroughly... the only thing is, this blur little girl never called back home... so she was kinda MISSING for three days before she went home and got scolded by her mum... *end of story*

i wonder how is my first day gonna be? hahahahaha me badly wanna take the mid level central escalator... it reminded me of the chungking express, where the shuai shuai Liang Chao Wei and Faye Wong took... (i think so, if i never remember wrongly) =) yeah, and i wanna take nice nice pics... hahaha just figured out how to use rvn's camera... nice as in got a feel when u see the pics... of cuz i wun have photographer standard lar... but just wanna take pics tt i like... ^^ and i promised mummy to climb the 150 steps to take pic of the BIG BIG buddha statue... haha she seemed quite happy with tt!! *my mother's day's gift* =p

now its 9.33 pm... i think i better go shower and get ready the luggage... wats the most important thing i must do? put the PASSPORT in... last time i went johor n batam, i FORGOT my passport lor... :s *blur blur de wo* i am kinda panic freak, if u know wat i mean... i am really scared of forgetting things... so i must double CHECK, triple CHECK to make sure everything is brought... =)

argh, i must STOP chatting if not i would not be able to escape offline... Help!! hElp!! heLp!! helP!!

Look into the mirror before u say anything!

Last night, biyin sent me a link to some blog written by a NUS life science guy... i shall not disclose the link cuz i really dun wish to publicise his blog... the latest blog entry was complaining about how ugly girls from NUS science are... All i can conclude is that, this guy is really boliao n ungentleman... if he has such unusual high expectation, he might as well remain single cuz the pretty gals are not going to fall for such a jerk... he really criticise science gals till very bad... yaya, why i am so angry? cuz i am from science!!! who says there are no meinus in science? he really nvr been to S3 Level 6 right? (if you dunno where that is, it is the department of Food Science and Technology) and wats wrong with wearing tshirts n jeans to school? if he really wanna bio2 gals in spags, please take bus A1 to arts faculty then... and issit really necessary to dress up so much to go sch ler? *use ur brains* SCIENCE faculty ler... other than lectures, where do we go? LAB! wear till so nice den wear lab coat? wat for? somemore gonna stuck in lab for hours... as if there is any cute guys ard to see liddat... That stupid jerk better go look into the mirror before he start complaining abt science girls! *aggitated*
