The EXTREME Hong Kong Trip


The EXTREME Hong Kong Trip........

(This pic is taken from THE PEAK.. nice hor..)

As promised, i shall record whatever i can remember here.. hehe.. after just few days of leave.. come back.. busy till.. like mad woman.. anyway work is always sickening and its driving me mad and stress... forget it...

21 AUG 2007 (Tues)- I woke up early to fetch my dearest harry from school.. didn't get a chance to see him for sometime.. so i guess its good to spend some time with this darling! and off i'm ready to go Changi Airport to our EXTREME Hong Kong trip... and the adventure starts.. right from the SMS...
soh sent all of us an sms asking us to go early for lunch. No one object, so bao, jo and me staying nearby share a cab and reach early for lunch. in the cab, i called bao and ask for her status.. who knows.. tt gu niang soh ~ she's waiting for mum to return as her mum didn't bring keys oh.. how lame.. nvm.. so = she'll be late, and she still said sent wrong timing in sms.. still NVM! since we already on our way liao.. she hurry lo...

Reach airport... call poor bao asking for gu niang soh's status... Mum Home... she's changing now.. OMG!!!!!! talking someone with no sense of urgency and time discipline can really vomit blood.. so i shall skip this as it'll ruin our trip! Anyway.. still must thank soh for the free dinner in HK.. her "punishment".. pls la.. change liao la! cannot like tt always la... liew...


Flight there was smooth and great.. and we finally reach HK around 7pm... everything was smooth and great till i saw my luggage.. OMG!!!! either sg ppl very rough, or HK ppl rough.. the moment i saw my luggage.. i realised.. how come the belt broken one ah! how sad to see ur suitcase.. so swee so chio.. suddenly safety belt broken oh..

the first exciting moment is checking in to hotel.. i had never in my life find it difficult to check in a hotel.. whahhaa... as we don't want to split room.. we order a bigger room to cater 5 of us.. however.. only 3 "legal" guest is allow.. so the other 2 are "illegal immigrant" lo..

it took us almost an hour plus to check in.. coz never been an actress or robber before.. we find it really hard to bluff thru.. actually no one will notice, but i think we think tooooo much till scared oursleves la.. ahhahaa... was fun.. interesting experience! till on tt night, jo and i had similar dream, ie - kena caught by hotel ppl.. hahahaa... omg... we r such good ppl that cannot commit any crime!!

first night in HK.. we went to Lan Gui Fang.. its like MS road in singapore. but way toooo many ang mos there... i still prefer to party in singapore. walk whole streets and enjoy the night time in HK....

22 Aug 07 - Shopping day!!!! really buy things, eat things, buy things, eat things... but in the following ratio: 2: 4: 8 (eat, buy, walk).... i really know how come hongkonger so slim liao... really have to walkkkkkkkk one leh..... so many slope, staircase.. can walk till leg break lo.. its SNG one... manage to buy some good buy there! HK is really a place to shop... one day is really not enough.. but energy also not enough one lo... its VERY TIRING DAY!!!

Hong Kong is a very polluted place.. go out face clean clean.. come back face like cover with a thick layer of dust.. got alot pimple one lo.. damn it! till now haven't clear all leh... arghhh...

After basically whole day of shopping, we went to sympothy of light ~ beautiful bay view of HK island night view (see above) with the lighting works of those high rise buildings, the make a beautiful "building light show".. was nice.. but again.. singapore one nicer la!

being someone from city from young till now, go HK see their night senery really dun find it too impressive.. coz i'd been seeing this in my life! sama sama lo.. hehe..

This day was real dead tired.. but very fruitful and content!


23 Aug 07 - We got to wake up early lo... but 630am in HK is like 830 here lo.. their sun rise is very very VERY EARLY! we set off to lantau island. but before that we decided to go for our breakfast first.. according to the dun know what book.. got one highly recommended thing to eat.. so we followed what the dun know what book direction.. ended up.. walked for 40mins still cannot find leh! ask one ah bek on direction, book pointed west, he pointed east.. we decided not to trust him.. follow book.. still cannot find leh... then ask around.. till a kind hearted lady pointed the direction to us, the direction was ah bek's direction lo.. hahahaa... must listen to old folks ok.."Old Ginger is still hotter!" after soooooo much effort... the shop.. ok only leh... can tell its meant for tourist, coz their ang moh is good one lo! ok la, must give credit to the pork burger, coz really not bad... after such hard effort.. of coz must eat till full full.. but HK coffee. really cannot make it! as i'm a coffee person, die hard must have coffee every morning, but HK coffee.. cannot make it leh... drink their yuenyang la! better! We then head to our LANTAU ISLAND! was very worried weather was not going to be good.. but fortunately.. not bad leh the weather! it was drizzling at first... alot of vapour.. make the enviornment very nice.. like genting.. then when we climb to the top, coast is clear! we can see the scenery very clear and far. its BEAUTIFUL ONE LO...

After lantau island. we went to the shopping centre where it was said to have alot warehse goods. addidas, nike, esprit whatever.. i almost getting ready my card to go there and sign sign sign liao! ended up! i only manage to get one top from esprit... nothing much leh... and their so call warehse product are all high end product leh.. convert over.. sama sama leh... but still can find some good buy there though! hehee....


After this.. seriously already tired liao lo.. but we still make our way to the wax museum.. taking the tram up to the wax museum... believe me.. taking photo with those star made of wax is as exciting as taking it with the real person! we had sooooo much fun! and i had taken pic with sooo many famous ppl! Jay chou.. ANdy lau.. leon lai.. u name it. u should get it.. so many! it was... FUN!!!!!!
taking enough photo and viewing all.. we head to the PEAK! on the way.. just little way up only.. we also can have joke of the day.. so what is fan called in hokkien?? answer anyone? someone actually said "HONG SIN" and that makes the joke of the night.. esp that 2 siao one.. laugh from the bottom to the PEAK! omg.. hahaha.. but seriously.. what is hokkien of fan? hmmmmm.... The peak is something like viewing at mount faber... but different feeling.. frankly, i prefer mount faber! the atmosphere is better leh.. hehehe... and after all.. we r dead real dead tired liao.. make our way to hotel and slp! one pity thing is HK hotel dun have bath tub leh..if not can soak my poor leg to relax it.. too bad.. so we just slp and prepare for the better TML!!!
24th Aug(Fri) - Another exciting day.. of coz! with anyone of us around sure exciting! we woke up and start to shop for our goodies to bring home! what u can get in HK are those usual stuff.. nothing intersting..but still must buy.. hehe... and we did our last min shopping! in Sg i said i want to buy addidas, nike!! ended up i can't leh.. how sad.. shop shop shop shop... still can't find the one i like! no choice.. save $ lo. hahah....nothing much for first half of the day. coz trust me.. the thought of walking.. really make me tired and weak...
afternoon we head back to hotel.. do some packing and ready to go to shenzhen... brothers and sisters.. dun ever i warn u to be ambitous and thought u can cover 2 countries.. take ur time and stay in HK good enough ok.. coz travellign to shenzhen by urself is one BIG THING LO! we were like taking part in the amazing race!! coz.. their MTR.. no escalator, no lift.. even have.. have to cross on overhead bridge.. OMG! STAIRCASE with our suitcase.. almost faint! somemore we GU NIANG ok.. but nonetheless... amazingly... WE MADE IT OH!... take the train all the way to shenzhen.. surprisely the journey was quite smooth and we get a little slp in train! but still.. dun dare to really slp.. coz u know u know u know.. country not very safe la! hehehe....
first impression of CHINA.. not bad.. but our chinese standard there is really.. sighed. why didn't i learn my chinese better last time!? so paisey speak to them.. they must feel ashame of me too lo.. hahahaha....

OMG!!!! seriously i rather go haw par villa lo..

we decided to head to it biggest.. famous SHOPPING CENTRE.... frankly.. things there was ok.. didn't manage to shop much.. coz.. dun know leh.. not my taste perhaps.. hehehheeee..
Joke of the day was.. we were so focus to spend all our RMB away.. till till.. we forgot to set aside for our transport to airport later! dun need go home lo.. hahaha... till we remember... all our hope is on soh.. our richest friend that day.. only with her around.. we can make it to airport and travel home.. haha..
imagine we were so poor.. till we stood infront of the bakery counter... look look.. see see. count count.. just to see how much can we buy from our remaining precious RMB... hahahaa.. after deep discussion.. we decided not to buy.. so turn and go.. whahahahaha.. never feel so POOR before lo.... they dun accept HKD, they dun accept SGD.. to change their currency must go all the way to bank which also dunno where! really! omg...
taxi from hotel to airport was... was.. SCARY!! i pray the moment the taxi move that i can reach the airport in one piece and nothing happen... it was raining so heavily... and the "torn" taxi was travelling such high speed.. that either someone horn him, or he horn ppl... my prayer go faster and faster.. their taxi is horrible one lo.. as i was saying it was raining very heavily.. not only outside.. but inside the car also! the door cannot close tightly lo.. can u imagine. my life is really on the risk that moment! thank god i'm back!
waiting for the plane back was no fun.. they have nothing to shop... and most stupidly,.. they confiscate our can drink telling us not allowed... and the moment i step in.. i saw vending machine selling can drink lo... PRC.. all rubbish! want to cheat my $ only! huh...
and finally... god was kind on all of us... perhaps with the combination of few different prayers... coz the weather that was so bad that alot flight was delayed.. when our flight, the weather was so good! and we set off to home on time!
reach HOME around 4am... and i slpt on my beloved bed for the whole day.. my bed misses me so much! and i miss it so much too! hahahaha...
