买东西,吃东西

H O N G K O N G !


Caught the sunrise as we took the early morning flight!
It was awesome, before the sunlight, the sky was really in 7 colours like a rainbow, but inverted one... However, I didn't get to take a picture of it :(


Our first stop was Macau!
When we arrived, it was 13 degrees there, and very windy!
Checked in Venetian and walked around their shopping strip before visiting the other places in Macau. There were people doing bridal shoots along the hallway and all the visitors started taking photos too.




First stop St. Paul's Cathedral.
It was so crowded there, like pasar malam :/ So many tourist groups.

Check out the aunty behind G and sis.
She was like \(^.^)/


Family picture.


Okay, and then we decided to climb the stairs.
It was a mistake... But the view up there was awesome! :D
It was a mistake because the stairs were so steep and there were so many to climb...


Trying to be funny.
It was pretty chilly up there, but when you look out of the walls, the view was nice and wide.


Pardon my cui-ed face in the photos, through the whole trip.
It was so tiring there having to walk such long distances everyday there plus the weather make me so sleepy, and lazy. But don't get me wrong, I love the weather! if only Singapore's weather was the same!


Then we started eating and eating...
Prolly because of the weather, and the variety of finger food they have! Yumz!


This was probably the best dessert.
Tau Huey with bird's nest, from the shop that sells bird's nest.


We had some problems with the coins, so in the end I decided the keep the coins from everyone and I figured that their coins can buy me many things too! Perks of being the youngest. Even though it's what they don't want I benefit from it, heh!


Oh yeah, my almond biscuit~
We bought many many many boxes of different flavours and size too! But when we came back, we realised that we didn't get enough! Should have gotten much more :(





Back to the suite. It was 2 toilets, a pantry, a private garden, 2 tvees, dinning area, etc etc etc... Too bad we had only 1 night there...

Being sick on the first day there, I didn't manage to go to the casino...
But the rest went, and except for Mom, everyone won money! Add on to kachings for shopping in Hong Kong!




We took ferry from Macau to Hong Kong.
It's like my worse nightmare... Cause i get seasick. Luckily I fell asleep through the journey, if not I'll be the Merlion in Hong Kong :/



Anws, we got ourselves each an Octopus card.
It's like the Hong Kong version of ez-link card, we took MTR around.
You should have figured by now that we weren't on tour, so we took MTR and cabs everywhere we go. It was very convenient, just like in Singapore, but their MTR brings us to more places!




Check in next hotel, L'hotel. It's just opposite Tin Hau MTR station, 3 minutes walk.
We had watsons and eatery just downstairs. And Mcdonald's and moreee cafessssssss just across the road serving their local dishes (:


Charlie Brown cafe! :D


Decided to have lunch in one of the cafes.
Their roasted meat are welly welly awesome, compared to Singapore.
Even better than those in the restaurants in Singapore. You can hardly find 1 that taste as good in Singapore, yet over there it's like you can find awesome roasted meat in every other such cafe! :D


We only did shopping on the second day, so on the third, we went to Hong Kong Disneyland ^^
Their MTR, to Disneyland is something like the LRT in Singapore.
The only difference is that, it had Mickey windows and more comfy seats and 1 more thing...


Mickey Mouse handles! :D
These 2 boys trying to be funny... Keep talking about nonsensical things through the whole trip and entertaining each other, but they seemed to have loads of fun though...






Sis got her favourite Stitch, with G.
While I got the Tinkerbell and M got Mickey Mouse! :D
So Mom and Dad had to deal with Buzz Light Year...




M trying to be in the photo with Mom and Sis.
Spot him behind, I think he kinda blend in with the walls behind :/


Hehehehelium balloons!
Bought the Minnie for Sis (:
But it was dumped away when we left Hong Kong because we can't bring it up the plane :(






This boy is so cute!
He had so many stickers on him cause the Disneyland staff would give stickers to those who dress like Disney characters!




The Tarzan and Jane tree house!






The animals looked so real! Especially the crocodiles!
And the hippopotamus came out of nowhere and opened its gigantic mouth at us!








We took the wide polariods but they were blur :(
Best part was Sis didn't bring the mini instax, so I couldn't use the Hello Kitty one :(
But Hello Kitty at Disneyland (?) Hmmm...


Let me share with you the 15 minutes worth of mind-fking...
The small small world...


Before that, here's a shot with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket!
They kept laughing and disturbing people, hahah:D


The small world covered almost all the Disney characters and they also had dolls wearing ethnic costumes of different countries!
That's Alice in Wonderland on the top.






We barely managed to get a proper photo cause they didn't allow flash inside the small world :(
So all the photos are taken without flash, hence it's kinda blur...

In different sections, the dolls sang the song differently. There was Mandarin, English and even in the bubble sounding version at the Little Mermaid section, LOL:D


We kept saying that G looks like Woody from Toy Story!
Just missing the cow boy hat and Bullseye!




The dolls were really pretty, and they really spend loads of time designing the different costume they wear and also the background they were placed in. Although pretty annoyed by the song by the 3rd time hearing it, I was still enjoying myself.






And finally Goodbyes in the different languages.
Shall update again soon on the remaining days in Hong Kong (:


My new awesome nails, the bling just dropped...
Btw, shopping with L yesterday was fruitful, I managed to get 3 tops!
Came home to a package from backorders with my shorts ^^
and received mail from HH, my dress is coming too, YAY.

Good end to the week (Y) I'm the happy kidz ;)
