hello hello. back from hongkong. kinda broke. hongkong food and transport are super expensive. ohhh. but wonderfully priced clothings though. lol:D
yay.
i shall attempt to type out what i did for the past 5 days. hahaha:D
first day. my first time taking plane! Valuair has good pilot:D hahaa. no air pressure felt on ear drum when plane takes flight. wellus:D we had pleasant weather for the first half of the journey... had my glimpse of heaven...a land of clouds beneath your feet...wow:D second half of the journey, the plane flew into a storm. lol. lightning flashes at 1 per second. lots of turbulence and the plane went up down up down. lol. thank God the plane didn't get struck by lightning or something. it wasn't exactly very scary, but you'll definitely be glad that nothing happened to you.
anyway, to cut everything short, we reached the hostel at 11+ pm. hahaa. our hostel is in causeway bay!:D right smack in the hub of the orchard road of hongkong. at 12pm, there're still groups of people moving around:D we went for a midnight snack around the area on friday night. let's just say that singapore food is like less than three-quarters the price of hongkong food:)
2nd day! oh yes! we ate breakfast at haohao cha2 can1 ting. lol. it's in this uluated street alley. hahaha. the coffee tastes weird. then we took MTR and went to wong tai sin temple..hahaha. very nice scenery inside the temple..got this super big garden thing with a mini waterfall and rapids. i noticed that hongkong is surrounded by mountains everywhere. hehee:D
hahaa. then we went to a dim sum restaurant to eat dim sum for lunch!:D junting's aunt and cousin very nicely brought us around after that:D ahhaa. very funny. didn't really know much of the culture there so quite unused to it. wellus:D then we walked to sha tin marriage registry... lol...and passed it to go to snoopy world:D then we went to xing1 guang1 dao4 da4! ahaha. charm of shine. erm. it's called Avenue of Stars in english..where the famous pple left their handprints on the ground. lol. quite cool:) then we took the ferry back to hongkong island:D oh btw, hongkong is divided into four islands -- hongkong island, new territory, lantau island and oh dear, i can't remember. wellus.
sunday morning! we went for service:D ate breakfast at macs. hahaha. went for hope hongkong international service:D very nice to see brothers and sisters in a foreign land:D then met jeannie beside china bank. then we went to the peak!:D with a lot of mao mao cong. eee. their caterpillars are really very very hairy. hahaha:D white hair with black bodies. but the peak of the mountain is really beautiful and high. hahaha:D very brilliant temperature as well:D we ate ice cream in the cold. mad people:D
oh i love the peak though. should go to the peak and walk around one day if u all get to go to hongkong:) it's worth the mao mao congs:D
then we took the peak tram down!:D hahaa. and walked around. ate macs flatbread for dinner, went shopping. oh! there was like this long stretch of travellators and escalators linking many places. really cool:D jeannie and jits went back to count the number of escalators and took the mtr back to the hostel...19 in all. me and junting took a minibus down to wanchai and changed to tram to go back to the hostel. heehe. kinda like amazing race. hahaha:D
monday.. we went to the giant buddha place on lantau island. super nice scenery too:D *grInz* love the air high up there. hahaa. then we went to eat roasted goose with jt's god mother and god brothers:D wah. roasted goose is super nice. hongkong's yang zhi gan lu is very nice too. and took pictures of the qing ma da qiao. poor jeannie's camera fell to the ground and the front was jammed. thursday was shopping and eating and shopping and travelling and shopping. lol.
and today, we're back. wellus:D miss the mountains in hongkong though:) and my mao mao congs.
