as promised, i'm back to blog bout my HK trip..BUT i'm getting sleepy at tis point of time, so i did quite a bad work of photo collages & only selected few photos of e many we had taken. & now i'll try to sum e trip up in e shortest way possible..doesnt do justice to e trip..but no choice, coz i can feel e sleepiness seeping into me.
so here it goes...
Day 1: ling & i touched down at HK airport at bout noon. min & jinx had already arrived coz we took diff flights there (too lazy to explain it here haha)..we were fetched to our hotel to check in, & thereafter, we went to Tsim Sha Tsui for some quick shopping, and then it was an early dinner at one of e Ca Can Tings there which we had chosen to try out. after dat we headed down to e ferry terminal, supposedly to buy ferry tickets to Macau..to spend a few hrs there till nite..but unfortunately, we reached there only to realise dat e Turbo Jet office was closed for e day..& if we took a ferry, we had only 1 hr left to spend at Macau..wat's e point..so we didnt get to Macau as planned =( thus, we went to Mong Kok area & e street markets there for shopping instead. it was a good place to shop, though most of e things there werent exactly dat cheap..but i ended up having e most "shou huo" dat day! haha.
Day 2: woke up early for our half day land tour..e tour guide brought us to haf tim sum breakfast, then we headed to Victoria Peak & Repulse Bay. after dat it was lunch at a restaurant b4 we left for e train station to get to Shen Zhen. Upon checking into our Shen Zhen hotel, we went straight out for shopping..& had dinner at one of e cafes there...then continued wif our shopping trip whereby it ended ard 12am..unfortunately e things there arent really of my taste so i didnt get to buy much stuffs =(
Day 3: had breakfast at e hotel then started our land tour at Shen Zhen. went to Window of The World..& spent quite a few hrs exploring e entire place & taking many photos. actually i've been to dat place b4 during my HK + Shen Zhen trip 10 yrs ago. everything still seems so familiar, like nth much haf changed. after dat, we had dinner at a restaurant b4 heading back to e hotel to wash up a little..then rushed down to e shopping mall near our hotel for more shopping! ended e day wif a nice soak in e bath tub & then a full body massage at e hotel massage parlour..super shuang! =)
Day 4: after breakfast at e hotel, we went to e nearby shopping mall for our final round of shopping b4 rushing back to e hotel to check out by 12 noon. then had lunch at Ajisen wif e aunty & uncle couple who came along wif us to Shen Zhen. after dat, all of us took e train back to Hong Kong. we then had to check into our HK hotel again b4 going to City Gate shopping centre where there r alot of factory outlets..nt really a good shopping place for me..coz mainly selling sports stuffs..which i dun haf use for now. after a few hrs hanging out at City Gate, it was time to meet min's friends who came over frm taiwan..& also wif their HK friends for dinner. we had seafood for dinner..yummy! their HK friends then brought us to Avenue of Stars..but found out dat there was nth much there..quite boring in fact..but e nite scenary was pretty nice.
Day 5: went down to Wang Da Xian temple (a famous temple in HK) early in e morning to pray after having breakfast at a Cha Can Ting. finally gt to eat e Xiao Long Bao & Po Lo Bao there! then did ur final day shopping..initially wanted to go to Causeway Bay to shop..but we ended up spending all our time left at Mong Kok becoz i needed to get sth frm there..& by e time we were done, it was pretty late..so we decided to juz haf lunch at dat area & end our shopping trip there. so after a good lunch, it was time for ling & i to head back to e hotel for our transfer to e airport. while min & jinx went to Causeway Bay to meet their Taiwan & HK friends coz they r still staying in HK for 2 more days b4 they leave for Taiwan..so envious! i cant join them coz of my work..so sad =(
okie dat's a really quick sum up of my trip..may seem boring frm my description..but it is NOT! it's really all bout e experience i had there wif my dearest friends. but it was really quite a rushed trip..& there were so many places we had planned to go to which we cld nt touch due to time constraints. so it means we shld go back to HK some day again to clear e other places (especially shopping places)! i wonder when will be e next time? =p
alrite, my eyes r on e verge of closing..but at least tml is Labour Day which means no work! cant be happier..i'm gonna take e chance to get enuf rest coz i'm still feeling very lethargic ever since i return frm Hong Kong.
so gd nitez peeps!
