HongKongers for 7 days, let's go!

I know this is like almost 2 months ago but it's better to be late than never right :)
This is the 1st trip I ever had to travel with friends on plane! ^^
The last time I took a plane, I was 8 years old. ahhhhaha. I was all geared for this trip though I packed my bag like the day before :O

18th - 24th March @ HK/Macau :)

Warning: Truckloads of photos

Day 1 (Wax Museum, The Peak, Lan Kwai Fung)

What time was the trip? I think 6:45am... erh, I forgot what time I meet them @ Changi Airport but we had Burger King breakfast after we checked in and it kinda sucks. No, it really sucks. I shared with Kaixin and the bacon is thin like crust, even the basic scrambled eggs also chui :( Only hashbrown passable. Of course, potatoes what ^^

HAHAHA. @ Changi Airport -,-
Small good right, cannot see chui face :D


Pardon my chui face. I need to wear specs to sleep in plane more comfortably mahhhhhhh.
Ok, skin color also look abit wrong :(


A group photo in Jetstar plane. All so excited to reach HK ^^


Wahwahwah, I hate the feeling when I was waiting for my luggage. It's like many what-ifs will appear and I am so scared it's lost :( I still put the sheep doraemon (the McDonald $2 one) on my luggage because I was afraid I couldn't recognise my luggage. It's the standard boring black> :O I wanted red but mum said red means it's my personal luggage and she don't like the idea :(

Anwz, this is the 1st HongKong cabbie we took ^^
He talked a lot and is pretty funny. I think all the cabbies are cute with their Canto accent ^^


We couldn't check into all 3 rooms at first so we put everything into Erika & Jon's and off we went, hunting for our 1st lunch in Hong Kong!

AHHHHHH. I never take this bus :( So cute hor, follow tracks one!


Sad-looking bull dog. Look like Nad's Hugo! (Is it Hugo?)


Exploring the streets~


I extra :O Jack Union ftw ^^


Waiting waiting @ Hotel lobby.


Jamesy.


TADAH. Our 1st meal in HongKong... wanton mee! The wanton nice leh but the noodles very normal :( HKD25 = SGD5 :(


Why their Vitasoy packaging so cute one?!?!?!


Cabbed to The Peak. Omg, everything feels so right there :)
I want to stay there forever during this season leh, their weather so nice.... if only their things cheaper :(


On top of the boat-like thing is The Peak.


See, I take nice photo ^^


So lovely right! I feel so happy looking at them but then again, they are not mine :(

HAHAHA. What if I am the president? I cannot imagine, hahaha. Ok, please don't try to imagine.


Yay, we love Singapore though we were in HK :D


Hitler and his infamous pose.




Look more like China Air to me, whoops. as in, red + yellow combination does resemble china flag right! ayeeee, my fav colors.


I didn't know there will be cartoons too.
Why no mickey, minnie or pooh? :(

We finished the whole thing in slightly more than 1 hour so we walked again~ HAHAHA.

Madonna.


Teresa Teng. I like her 我只在呼你, veriberi naise.


David Beckham ^^


After heading out of the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, we went down to this Disney Ticketing booth and got our entrance tickets for Disneyland the next day! Same price but got free gift. Erh, an umbrella that is in a nice shade of blue but not very resistant. HAHAHA. Pretty can already :)


I think this photo is nice ((: (Y)


Went to The Peak to catch some night view of their landscape. I remember it is SGD5, HKD25.
Cause I told them since we are paying, we need to take more photos to make the 5 bucks worth it :O
that's so me right -,-


Erika, Jon, Kaixin.


Step yi ge mysterious.


I think maybe my nicer angle is not the left side anymore :(
My left cheek veriberi big, I don't like!



And here we are, super crowded lar. Like everyone never see night view before!
The pictures didn't do justice to the view.
It is even more breath-taking to see it with your own eyes, really :)


It's a little foggy up there.





What's wrong with me and my constipated face, ahhhahaha.


Testing out whose self-taking skills better. not mine :(

First dinner in Hong Kong....
McDonald. HAHAHA.
Freaking cheap!!! HKD20 = SGD4. zomg. Some more it isn't student meal leh. I don't think they even have that? lol. They don't have milo but have hot chocolate :)
I wanted curry sauce but they kinda like don't understand so they took out all the sauces they have and let me choose and I took tomato sauce -,-
They give mayo very generously though.

Somehow, I like HK's mac better :)

After eating mac, my lips swollen like sausage :(

Cabbed to Lan Kwai Fong with hope of finding somewhere we can hang around at but every pub there is so expensive! Cab driver said that street is all high-end bars :O

So we head back to our hotel (Empire Hotel) and then rest... no, watch tv until 4am for Jo and me -,- I like their channels leh!
 
Day 2 (Disneyland)

Breakfast was dimsum from an eatery nearby gotten by James & Erika. Yay!!! The rest of us are lazy pigs.

Wah, we were all so excited about Disneyland initially.
And yes, my lips still swollen from the mac meal.


MTR.


In MTR on our way to Disneyland! :D



We had to change train and we board Mickey Express. HAHAHA. So cute.


Upon alighting... got the magical feel?


Yay, finally here! ^^v


Sua-ku = everything must take photos!


Chio and clever structure!


The sun was good, not glaring at all, with tinge of breeze.


I've got Minnie Mouse ^^
Oh, I did something to my hair the night before that's why I got some curls. LOL. Shhhhhhh, only jojo knows how I did it. Awwwww, I miss my brown hair when it is long, I can curl it!


Need I say anymore?


Magical Disney.


Cute right!!! :D


This is the 1st ride we took and it's like the most exciting ride in the whole Disneyland already -,-
I know it's not scary at all but sorry, I am weak! I am the one in the center :C
HAHAHA. kaixin also hide lor... everyone center parting, LOL.


Toy Story. I like this picture leh! Kinda sweet ^^


Queuing for Jumbo/Dumbo, the elephant. Should be Jumbo? I don't think Disney will name their elephant Dumb-o.


Dao face(s).


Cinderella~ Their(plus Sleeping Beauty) smile very plastic. So poor thing! :(


Mickey ice cream for you?


This is a scam~ I also know how to cut lor -,-


I saw this Curiosity shop but I never went in.


Random shop-house.


The elephant ride.
Seriously, Disneyland HK is for family and maybe couples.


Yadah yadah, we look oh-so-happy. wait till you see one photo ^^



LOL. Mushrooms tree. LOL.



I miss my brown hair like that :O




That's not my finger.


Failed attempt to get profile pic.


The Canto-speaking wizard. HAHAHAHAHA.


Went to took this in the end but I made kaixin spin it very slowly :D oh, we kinda cut queue but not really cut queue -,-


I like the song.


what's inside the small world? -,-


Small people... from all over the world.




Jumbo/Dumbo. Paparazzi shot. HAHAHA.


Tea cups.


Super fake soft.


What are girls best at? taking reflection shots in toilet -,-



carousel ♥






This is the legendary picture I was talking about!!!
We all looked so freaking bored and ok, I look retarded. We looked so zzz until an angmoh pointed at the screen and laughed at us :O


Ok, this ride quite fun... but while queuing there was this little boy dressed in spiderman suit. He was quite cute at first but after awhile, he become rather irritating -,-


I ♥ balloons!!!


But I didn't get it lar... It's impractical and it was only day 2 out of 7 leh... I was trying to be frugal, lol. The lady very nice, let me hold them and take a picture :) but of course she's still holding on to the ends in case my hand slipped or something. I can't afford to pay for all these balloons!!! :(




Sleeping Beauty's castle @ sunset. zomg, the sky is pink~



At night, with fireworks~ I think I video-ed it using James' camera!
I think the fireworks are released at like 7pm or 8pm? Erh, can't really remember.


Went around snapping beautiful food :) these pictures didn't do justice to them :( they are a lot beautiful and cuter in real.






I can still remember we were friggin' hungry and after much debate, finally settled at KFC :D :D :D :D zomg, I ♥ their KFC! You know why...?


Cause they've got this baked rice thingy and I swear it is super nice!!! How come S'pore don't have but have fake Macau egg tarts? :(


I think we headed back to our hotel after that, lepak awhile and went to a pub nearby to chill and we played 敲敲杯, kinda fun eh ^^v

FYI, our hotel (Empire Hotel) is @ Wan Chai and Wan Chai is kinda like our Tanjong Pagar. Abit like CBD area... so our hotel is kinda like Amara Hotel? hahahaa. then with a few pubs around.
Oh, Erika and Kx was a lil tipsy? HAHAHA.



Day 3 (Shopping Day) + Avenue of Stars

Shopped around Fa Yuen Street and Ladies Street... went to "sneakers street" but didn't buy anything at all :( so not cheap lar! The only good buys is the HKD35 aka SGD7 floral tube and floral dress ^^ Oh, went to a H&M outlet and it was kinda disappointing. Shit, I haven't wear the yellow layered dress :(

I bought a pair of boots for my mascot~ sigh, when can I wear it in S'pore? so freaking attract attention and the weather freaking hot :(

*see the angmoh at the right corner of the pic


HAHAHA. he freaking pose for the 2nd shot. I don't like, got man-boobs!


So we went to Avenue of Stars... after having a horrendous dim sum meal @ some stall near Temple Street. omg, the top layer of my bowl of rice is like yellowish and then got black dots like small flies inside :( :( and it cost be HKD10 = SGD2 for a stupid, dirty bowl of rice :( :( then their cutlery & bowls very dirty! Bad experience!

HAHAHA. erika poking my eyes -,-


Aish, the scenery really very nice one but Idk why the photos like that.


LOL. this is super cute and whacky ^^



We cabbed back after that and it was a long way cause apparently there's traffic jam and erh, it's like another part/island of HK? Confusing enough.

I think we rest quite early that night~ No, I think we watch movie on TV until 4am again :( I remember like everyday watch tv! lol.

Day 4 (Ocean Park)

Ambassadors of Watsons' water doing photoshoot @ Ocean Park.


Dolphins! I want to be dolphin some "next" life.
Next life, I want to be a hot korean girl without plastic surgery.
Then next next life, I want to be a hot angmoh who is stick thin and don't have freckles.
Next next next life, I want to be a dolphin!
But by then, I think the global warming issue would have got out of hand and I won't be able to be a happy dolphin or I am supposed to be in extinction :(



So cute right!!! But then again, I didn't buy cause I am not a kid anymore and it's a burden to carry it around.



We need to get to the other side of the hill.


Dai dai! ^^


Freaking scary!!! I always got the what-if the cable break or what if we get stuck in mid-air thoughts.


Look at the long, winding roads.
I will die.



HAHAHA. spotted a sampan with a colorful umbrella. this is like after zooming in at maximum already! glad that the sea was so peaceful :)


Inside cable car shot, need to faster pose and take it then get out of the cable car! :D


Caught the dolphin show? Erika, Jo and I went to dabao mac then the queue freaking long, we couldn't make it back on time but clever them allowed ourselves to squeeze through the metal bars~
This is what someone(james/kx) took.



Hmm. This ride makes me giddy.


HAHAHA. Don't say I hum ok! I took The Dragon leh! Don't play play....
Got 2 loops ok! freaking shiok after that, got sense of accomplishment ^^ But my head keep hitting the head rest thingy :(
 

Not forgetting The Abyss... I still think Genting's scarier and more shiok! :D But this one quite fun cause we shouted some stuff went coming down -,- like free only~

I think that was the 1st time I ever sweat in HK -,-
The rides are super far apart and we have to walk uphill, down slopes and flights of stairs here, there, everywhere :( Oh, I can still remember very clearly I dropped my piping hot packet of fries cause I have butter fingers then I went to buy another one :( so sad that I waste money + food, like always :(

We went to Outlet Mall (one stop away from HK airport) which basically have all the outlet stores of different brands ranging from adidas, puma, esprit to guess, club21 and then to kate spade, coach etc. Got quite a few items there! like my black velvet adidas jacket, a white & purple one for girlf, an adidas top for my bro, an esprit top for mum... couldn't find anything for dad there.

Maybe we didn't know where are the right places to go but HK is really expensive and everything reminds me (us) of S'pore so the holiday mood not really there! :( everyday have to buy mineral water~ -,-

Day 5 (Macau Day 1)
OFFICIALLY DAY 1 OF THE WHOLE TRIP!!!
HAHAHA. Idk why but suddenly got holiday mood.

This was taken when we were still @ Empire Hotel (HongKong)... I was really sleep-deprived.
That lump is me ok.


said byebye to the substandard Empire Hotel and we took a 45 min ferry to Macau~
Heng, I don't have seasick :D (I think)

Casa Real hotel(Macau) is (Y)
Although the exterior look chui but inside not bad leh... though cannot compare to Wynn, MGM, Venetian, Sands blablabla... but for a 4-stars hotel, not bad already :D




Look @ our pretty room! So spacious and and got a corner to watch tv! 2 TVs in the room! :D


Happy that we stay in a suite ^^
4 of us shared this room.


The bathroom.






Packed a little and then off we go, to the Ruins of St.Paul.
Nice picture eh ^^


View from a gap between the wall. There are 38 casinos in Macau! :O



That's right, we are tourists indeed.



I was so eager to try the Boys Over Flowers' eggtarts! Kim Hyun Joong made it looked so nice.

This isn't from that stall though. The 1st eggtart: HKD 7.


BUT IT'S THE BEST EGG TART I'VE EVER EATEN.


It's crazy but we had 3 egg tarts in like 15 minutes?!?!
As you walked down the to Senado Square from ruins of St. Paul, there's like 3 egg tarts stall and it gets cheaper HKD 7 > 6 > 5. The quality decreases too -,-

1st egg tart the best!!! (Y) 2nd one the crisp not crispy, 3rd one(the Boys over flowers one) the egg not close to the crisp and just no taste!

Senado Square.


Almost wanted to take a look then realized they selling ahma clothes.


Singapore where got like that?


Find me a vintage pink building :)


zzzomg, my hair was so long then... :(


Imitating the guy.... don't even know who is he but is like lao fu zi lookalike.




TEEHEEHEE. I BOUGHT THIS FOR LIKE 20PLUS OR 30 SGD :D (can't remember)
I used to keep wearing at the start but now never already... I scare attract unnecessary attention mah :(



Grand Lisboa Hotel, where Jo and I got separated from James & KX... :(
One moment hey were just behind us and the next, they are gone. So scary leh! then we changed coins to call my own hp... cause we have nothing with us (james carried my bag) but heng jojo got 1 or 2 coins ah... but they nvr answer!!!
So scary to even feel lost in a foreign land.


At night.

We had our dinner @ some charsiew stall, quite nice leh! the stall look like the charshaobing's one in 真情.

Wynn hotel, where we won money on Day 6 ^^ 1st win from there. I ♥ to win @ Wynn hotel ^^


Went to watch the fountain show, quite chio leh!
Erh, random photo but I kinda like (:



I remember it was kinda cold :(


Magnificent structure :)
Look @ the video even more chio.

Windy~


James camera died awhile after taking this... just when I was taking a pic with this... the batt went off :(



Surprised Jojo @ 12~ It's her 20th birthday. BIG 2!!

I think I slept quite early that night. Like only me in the hotel room cause seriously tired then idk where the 3 of them went :( Or did Kx stayed too? :/

Day 6 (Day 3 in Macau: Jo's bday aka Casino visiting day)
Jojo had her 2nd cake in the morning, I think? Sorry but my memory is failing me :(

Their police car is our cab.


These fishes are seriously desperadoes, very poor thing :(


Fisherman's Wharf. Disappointing... machiam like some deserted place.



Took a cab but it stopped at the bottom of the slope, we did climbed up this slope with our legs alright.
So tiring lor, freaking steep slope :(



Yay, wore the leggings I never wear in S'pore.


Alot of act emo shots while waiting for Erika & Jon to reach.


Sitting on the edge caused my leggings & knitted top to have loose strings coming out! :(






Maggie mee (出前一丁) but it's my fav lunch cause it was smth safe :) Instant noodles can't possibly go wrong.


Oh, we walked up many slopes and a few stairs just for this: The Lighthouse -,-



Nice shot.


Self-timer.



Inspired by the group of people who sat here before...



FYI, this is not self-timer and James is cropped.
HAHAHA. the person never see him lar, camouflage with the door ^^


I felt so fat that period of time.



Went to The Venetian to explore.




MOJOJOJO CHINGU~


More blur pics (N)


This man sings damn loud and he sings Chinese songs too. I can't really stand it but he dragged me to dance with him :(


This is where I got a top from Zara, Man-U polo for dad, Man-U poker cards for LPZ and a few cosmetic pouches for friends from Naraya. Had Starbucks, Jojo bought me choc balls from Godiva. James' drink: chocolate raspberry forest very nice!!!


Sorry, our cameras didn't do justice.


The exterior design of it @ night.


We went to City of Dreams hotel to watch some dragon show... and that's where I lost my winnings :(
Went to watch some shops @ a hotel's casino...
And gave jojo her 3rd cake!

Day 7 (Last minute shopping day)

(: Senado Square again ^^


I really ♥ Macau. I should have bought the I♥Macau shirt.



Ready to sleep in airplane on our journey back. Geared in specs.



Starbucks only, only and only Starbucks for me :)


Totally only can see the Starbucks sign lor -,-


I(we) really thought that was an exit to MTR station -,- It's just a shop... pattern leh!


Cute hor but we never eat/buy.
We already had the best breakfast @ some Macau cafe. NICE FOOD!!! The pork cutlet burger, macaroni, toast... zomg, I ♥.


Macau is famous for egg tarts and their pork cutlet burger (猪扒包).
This is the Boys Over Flowers' egg tarts stall. NOT NICE!!!


Casa Real Hotel's swimming pool.


ZOMG. We were @ MGM. Chioooooooooooooo!


Got real birds some more.


AH GUA FACE + HIDEOUS BLACK ROOTS> :(


The ferry that got us straight to the HK airport -,-


Kaixin~


I had a good time with them in one week.
One week away from bAoc preparations felt so great. I was so broke :( I spent the most but I think I spent more on gifts... heng I won HKD200 in the end, if not I have no money to buy ferry ticket back leh! :(

Jojo veriberi naise to me! She got me Godiva choc and then a minnie mouse watch when we were at the airport's disney souvenir shops. HAHAHA. I promise I will wear it more often k :)
James very funny. Even the way he speaks also funny! They are really nice people :)
Kaixin still as blur as ever... bumping into things/people unknowingly! but still, thanks for the great time! :)
Erika is still very pretty and skinny! Don't let all the negative thoughts get to you ok!
Jon seems to be a nice person to be with too!
Thanks James & Erika for getting breakfast for us for like almost everyday! :D

Yay, that was my first trip overseas taking plane and I wish Jetstar have more comfortable seats... :( James was very nice to change seats with me on our way back so that I get to see the view from window seat! HAHAHA. I never see before what :(

Sorry but I did not have enough money to get more people gifts and I missed out my whole awesome clique TA29 ♥ :(


I can't wait for my own graduation trip(s) though :)
