Study Trip in Hong Kong; Day Three!

The usual routine: wake up at 0820, wash up, have breakfast then meet up with the rest at 1000. Today's first station was gonna be the Asia World Expo. Works like our Singapore Expo just a whole lot bigger.

After visiting the expo, we took a bus down to Citygate Mall where the shopping commences! Majority of the shops there were warehouse outlets so the prices there can go as low as a quarter of the original price! Pity I didn't have much cash with me so eventually I only got a top from Esprit and a pullover from Giordano. They were cute tops though, so it's cool.

At around 1630 we took the coach back to our hotel to dump whatever stuff we bought before heading down to Tsim Sha Tsui for dinner. There was supposedly some musical thingie going on by the sea but we were lazy so we decided to give it a miss and head down to Times Square at Causeway Bay for more shopping! And that's where I got my ubaaaaaaa cute octopus! I'll post photos of it soon, I promise.

After Times Square, which we didn't exactly spend much time there cos' we got there a lil' close to closing time, we headed back to Ladies' Market for some late night retail. Nee and I got jackets and Adela got tees. They're all really cute. Specially Adela's tee with the mummified boy-looking thing.

Walked back to the hotel after going round the area for say, a few rounds and this time, we got cup noodles for supper! Just that we forgot to get the forks from the cashier. So we called the reception 3 TIMES and got our chopsticks. Cup noodles, superb invention.

Next day was gonna start early so we PLANNED to turn in early but pretty much failed at it and ended up sleeping at 0200 anyway.

Day Four! Ocean Park and home sweet home!

PMS. Sucks.

Study Trip to Hong Kong; Day Two!

Alright, I'm too lazy to upload all the photos one by one cos' there's simply too many so I've separated them into two slideshows! Brilliant, yes?

Apart from the slideshows, there are 3 more videos! 1 from the "It's a small small world" ride and 2 of the fireworks at night!

So what are you waiting for? Read on!

------------------------------------

Got up at around 0820. Went down for breakfast and met up with the rest at the lobby at 1000. Took the coach to Disneyland!!! I swear when everyone got there, the kid in us was awaken from its long slumber and we were all really stoked about Disneyland despite the cold wind and temperatures.

We decided to have a go at all of the rides in order to make our time there worthwhile. We eventually didn't manage to ride of the rides but there were a few memorable ones like Space Mountain, which scared the crap out of us and the snapshot of us caught all of us in the >o< color="#ffff00">a few more minutes and then proceeded to take a 10-minute walk back to our hotel. It felt less than 10 minutes though, or maybe it was just that the cold wind got to my head and I was too focused on getting back quickly than bothering bout' the time. Either way it was a pretty eventful day for us and I really glad we got to go to Disneyland to see how they much effort they put in to decorate the place and also to fit the theme of the different 'lands'. Even the staffs have different 'uniforms'!

We reached the hotel around 2315 and without fail, we went to bed nearing 0230.

Day Three: Asia World Expo, City gate, Tsim Sha Tsui, Times Square and Ladies' Market again!



Okay, I gave up on uploading videos/slideshows in this post on Blogger cos' it simply doesn't work. ARGHHHHH.

Study Trip to Hong Kong; Day One

Woke up at 0500 to wash up then got onto my uncle's cab at 0600 to head down to Jelapang to fetch Nee at 0615. We reached the airport at around 0645 and stood around, waited for check-in. Had a short breakfast with Nee, Adela's mom, Adela and my mom at the staff canteen.

Boarded the plane at about 0900 and Nee was like uber excited so she kept asking if we were flying yet. Cute.

We arrived in Hong Kong at about 1300 and roamed around the airport for customs checking and baggage collection.

Took a 40-minute ride on the coach to our hotel, Metropark Hotel, Kowloon. Stood around till 1500 and collected our room keys. The room's pretty spacious for a triple-sharing room, I must say.

Went down to the lobby at 1600 to meet up with the rest and took the coach to Stanley Market. There wasn't much to shop there so we three hungry souls had Delifrance in attempt to keep our stomachs quiet.

Another short ride on the coach followed, which brought us to Repulse Bay. We walked past a temple-looking place before hitting the shore. Seeing that the skies were turning dark, we quickly snapped pictures and headed down to the beach, embracing the feeling of the chilly wind against our faces.

Next up was The Peak. We took the coach up and spend a short while up there. Pity that the beautiful night scene of Hong Kong was masked by thick fog or it'll have been perfect. Ah well, I got a snap of the lamp though, which I thought looked pretty much like a painting.
:3

Next, we took the tram down to Central. The experience on the tram with friends was sweet. But the whole pushing and noise created by the PRCs simply killed the ambience. I have to say I'm not some stereotype nor do I have a thing against the PRCs but they really left us a very bad impression while we were in Hong Kong. And I mean ALL FOUR DAYS.

Bad experiences aside, dinner at Central was not exactly very smart, given that Central works somewhat like Singapore's Central Business District. So with a tight budget and no cheap+good food around, we settled for noodles at a small restaurant which cost us HK$58 each. Not exactly the best I've tasted, but at least it kept me filled for the night.

Took the MTR from Central station to Tsim Sha Tsui station and walked back to the hotel. Uber long walk. Learnt later that we should have alighted at Mong Kok station instead. Well, walking's good exercise...no? We reached the hotel at approx. 2330

So that was pretty much Day One. Fell asleep at around 0200 with sore legs.

Day Two: Disneyland!!!!!!!!!

I am going to die uploading the pictures we took at Disneyland.
