Hong Kong...Good Start, Bad End

Day 1 -- Going to Hong Kong



Night before departure, was comtemplating if I shld sleep or not, end up decided to bunk in with my mei, and we chatted for an hr or more before conceeding defeat to e sleeping worms.

Less then an hr later, we both got up to get ready for departure to airport, for our flight.



After check-in, walked around the airport for a while, as it's realli small and BUDGET, there's nothing much to see or shop, so we ended up seating down waiting for boarding.



Boarding the flight is a new experience for me, as there is no tarmac, but we get to walk towards the aircraft and climb the steps n in we go...



Upon arrival, we spent quite some time to finally get to the counter for our transfer...we actualli walked up n down the terminal 2 to 3 times before we get onto the bus and arrive at the hotel...



After checking in, and resting for a while, we decided to venture out for food and shopping of cuz.

Our first meal was actualli KFC, and guess what? They have RICE together with chicken in a mel and it's delicious and filling.

We went to 女人街and 花园街first, the proceeded to 庙街. Bought my boots, tiger home slipper and other cute stuff. Managed to get most of my presents on the first day in Hong Kong!



Day 2 -- The Peak / Star of Walks


Woke up early, bath and off we go to The Peak.

Took the tram up and first stop, the wax musuem.

Took picture with all the 'celebrities' and all, guess who I saw there? Lee Kuan Yew sia...hahaha of cuz I have to take a pic with him...

Then we start shopping around the peak, had lunch at Jungle Fruits, bought shirts from Hard Rock and we left for Star of walks.
Ir sure is cold like hell there at night! I was actually in sweats after walking for such a long time just looking for the way to get there, but in a VERY very short time (less than 5mins), I'm so cold that I haf my cardigan on with my shawl wrapped around my neck...hahaha

Day 3 -- Ocean Park

We had originally wanted to book the transfer n entrance ticket iwth the hotel tour desk the day before, but after checking, there only have a half day city tour plus ocean park all packed into 1-day, and costes HKD 460 per person. But we had already toured most of the places, thus we decided to go there on own very self!

It's a very good experience actually, as we get to take bus in Hong Kong! Hahaha their buses actualli looks lke the ones we haf in SIN, only difference is that their lower deck seats are all facing each other from the first to the last...interesting and awkward sia..

We got off at the back of Ocean park, and never realised it. Started walking around in circles and thinking we r lost. After a haf-hr of walking around in vain, my sis finally figured out our location, we started our tiring yet interesting dae!

The Pandas are really cute!!! So are the fishes and jelly fish. Hude, interesting and beautiful.
Of cuz there's e weird ones and the budging eye goldfish.

Forced by my sis to take the Abyss with her. The one that u will rise into the Sky and fall at top speed! I almost died on my seat sia...
I will never commit suicide sia, at least not by jumping off any where! Couldn't even keep my eyes open for more than a few seconds, especially duing the falling...scary!
I was all cold and shaky when it ended. Sursprise myself when I did not just fall to the ground when I got off the seat, and still managed to walk out of the game area without fainting. Hahaha...
I can fully understand how those people muz haf felt when deciding to jump or not. If it's me, I will never be able to jump sia...

Tired from all the walking and with the weather starting to turn cold, we decided to go back to the hotel around evening time, and make good use of the rest of the evening to do our last min shoppings.
After finishing my dinner, I started to pack my belongings...and realised that my PUMA Jacket is gone from the room...without a trace as to its where abouts.
Called the hotel front desk immediately, even after doing a room and luggage search the next day, still couldn't find. No compensation, no nothing. Hai~~~ (T_T)

Last day -- Back to SIN

Checked out of hotel at 1530 hours and sat at the lobby watching Kindaichi (burn into my Ipod) the whole time till our transfer came. Worse of all, upon arrival in SIN, collecting my luggage...the handle spoiled and hurt myself while trying to drag it. Went to the counter straight away, but again NO COMPENSATION!!! What in the world!

Am I curse or what? Can only blame it on my luck! Im NEVER going back to the hotel --> PANDA HOTEL! and NEVER taking TIGER AIRWAYS again!!!!!

Hai~this is REALLY the worse anyone could get for the end of her holiday! Spoils all MOOD and FUN of the trip!
