This trip had been way too short.It's simply a trip of regrets
and i yearn to shop!
Photos up:
Day 1: Departure to the life of shop.eat.play.
This is why i like to fly.
The gratitude and happiness u're feeling
when u're all away from everything
Welcome to HongKong!
Actually i'm quite worried when the cam is in my mum's hands
the occassional bloopers she makes,
out of focus shots,
subject is NOT in photo and blahh
so this is really a rare good one.
Hongkong snacks:
Their chau sau bao is SHIOK
the abalone gravy inside is like 3times more than singapore's stingy bun.
Had a taste of the roadside chilli fishballs,
u know Hongkongers in movies,
where they always hold them in a cup and poke with sticks
and here i am,
doing the same thing.
HONGKONG-EEEE
And and and (excited)
my very first buy in HONGKONG
tada!!!
And the tour includes boat ride to jumbo floating restaurant
and to Repulse Bay, where Jackie Chan lives.
Too bad he's not somewhr out there doing his stunts while tanning
At Shenzhen, a must see attraction:
WINDOW OF THE WORLD
The Glass Pyramid of Louvre, France
Relief Wall of World Civilisation
Alps Ice and Snow World was dirt cheap
Tickets at only $2/person compared to pricey Singapore's Snow World
And they have HUGE ICE SLIDES
and way freeeezing cold my cam couldnt take clear photos
Grand Canyon Adventure Rafting
which is like Indiana Log..
and our boat went up and drifted along the Nigara Falls!!
that face was when the staff ASSURED me i wun get wet,
despite the constant concerns and doubts.
GRRRR. I was so gullible to be cheated by these staff!
sidenote: i was glad the water shooters on both sides missed us.
Yummy desserts: bai hua guo
Their sweet fruity syrup is FABBBB
and instantly brighten my mood despite the gloomy damp weather
1ST LAW TO BREAK WHEN U'RE OUT OF S'PORE: CHEWING GUM!~
oh have i mentioned, i just celebrated my 1st anniversary of this shop
i will be opening another in Africa for the needy people, pls support!
GUESS WHAT IS THIS?!
GO FIGURE!
IT'S
COW'S BELLY!!!!!!!!
and cute cakes they have there.
specially dedicated to hello kitty fans.
Many hiccups along the journey,
last min frustrating changes in itnerary
which ended up in 2nights in shenzhen
but still we went ahead with Macau.
Senado square,
paved with a wave-patterned mosaic of coloured stones
it's a really picturesque sight..
Standing beneath the Ruins of St. Paul's
And there's still the fusion of Hongkong cramped street style
Grand Lisboa is breathtaking in terms of architectural design
External structures of gold panels is extremely majestic.
Inside,
it looks like a lovely gold palace,
with all the crystals hanging down from the ceiling,
shimmering and glittering
and it's was my first go at jackpot!
everything is damn computerised and they have ticket machines
instead of carrying heavy cooper coins about.
how cool is that.
Passed by Macau Fisherman Wharf
It seems so great from the outside, too bad we ran out of time.
Temporary shelter from the sudden downpour.
See the old lady behind me?
When we settled down, she was eating her beef noodles.
After i ordered, i saw her tucking into her wanton noodes.
i wonder if all oldies there eat like she does?
i'm getting famous.
i'm EVERYWHERE.
even here in Macau,
drop in, say my name and all is fine
winks*
Due to human error, we missed the ferry by 2freaking mins.
and waits for the next one at 30minute intervals.
it's a long 1hour ride.
and i ran out of songs from my mp4.
And back to Hongkong for free and easy tour.
i tell u crossing custom gates is like going in and out of ur house gates
when u have to fill up 48declaration forms within 5days,
get ur stamps and temperature checks so frequently,
it's like eating maggie mee to me man.
and only when i'm back in HK,
i realised i missed the streets here.
they are so safe compared to shenzhen's.
One coffeeshop version of carrot cake.
i guess they couldnt afford to buy the mould..
Oh, their clayport rice is yums!~
I can still feel the taste linger in my mouth..
OISHIIIII NEH~
Last picture of the day:
Like sheep in the fields,
except this one is sky blue.
and i wanna fly again.
