i'm back from hk!!! woah~ shopping for 4 consecutive daes can realli be good exercise man...esp in hong kong...but too bad i've been eating all sorts of junk foods these few daes....~can't slim down again~ now i'm starting to get a phobia of long stretches of straight roads and stairs liao...haa...apart from dat, still must kip pace wif the people there...they walk so hurriedly...kip making us stressed that we r blocking the wae...rule number one: alwiz kip rite on escalators...dey over take on the left...dun ask me y...rule number two: dun b misled by the arrows on the roads...if it reads "look left b4 u cross" with an arrow pointing left, it means the vehicles come in from the RIGHT...tink we r too conditioned to tinking dat the arrows r the direction of the traffic flow...best is look both sides if u're confused...hee....rule number three: polish up on map reading....cos all streets look similar...n there is practically no one spot where u can stand fer long to figure where exactly on the map u r....rule number four: if after some time u r still quite lost....ask....erm....ask hooever hoo walks abit slower than the rest....catch them...n try mix-matching cantonese if u tink it sounds pretty ok...otherwise...try chinese den english....worse come to worse...try pointing n act mute....haa....chuyun is like a young child learning canto...trying to piece each word into a sentence....i'm like the mute...can understand but no idea how to even try to speak it....well...poor chiew ting is the total alien...cant speak n understand....it's pretty tough not to talk the whole dae k...haa....rule number five: travel arnd using the mtr....cos u wldn't wan to spend time being stuck in a jam....yep...
the flight there was pritty exciting...the turbulence was quite strong...the feeling of free fall is definitely not a gd experience...but tink valuair is not too bad as compared to my previous budget airline...day one was their public holidae so practically everywhere we went was crowded...the theme streets were so packed that we couldnt shop at all....could onli look at faces instead of shopping...imagine walking fer streets n streets without buying aniting....no sense of self-fulfillment...at the end of the dae...we were so tired n was wondering how r we gg to get by the 3 daes ahead..
day two is the day tour...went to a couple of places of interest..went for dim sum breakfast n lunch at some restaurant which was not realli nice...golden bauhinia....repulse bay (where a number of celebs live)...aberdeen fishing village...one of the temples...ocean park....plus some dried food n jewellery stalls....rule number six: if ani of the tour guides in the tour group wanna take photo of u...pls dun let him do it....he'll develop the pics onto souvenirs n make u pay fer it....he shocked us when he took out the souvenir plates n 2 other pics n charge us at HK$200 (~S$40) everyone was quite stunned..all paiseh to reject him since he had alreadi printed dem...but i firmly told him i dun wan it...but ct n cy were wondering wad he'll do wif our pics...tho dat thot did cross my mind, i refuse to tink ani further...haa....well...in the end...being nice souls all willing to b put on the chopping board saying "chop mi, the cai tou"....we bot one out of the three he shoved to us....argh....still feeling abit sore...but one of the nice uncle from the tour group beside me told me tis was considered cheap oreadi...he once kena twice the price we're paying fer....ooo....dat realli did comfort us abit but kinda pity the uncle...
ocean park sounds cool....but i tink the best part of it is the dolphins' performance...dey r brilliant n so humane!! makes me love dolphins even more....*muack* the flips were so swift dat i wasnt in time to take pic of dat moment...n their coordination wif the trainers were perfect...no flaws....amazing....the theme park was quite small...onli took the pirate ship....the others were either too exciting or not in use...the cable car ride up was shaky....as steep as the one in genting....the view on the top of the ocean park was nice tho...n yes....we gotta walk alot...again...
went shopping at tsim sha tsui...grandville road aft recommendations from the tour guide n friends...n ironically aft walking streets aft streets, we ended up having dinner at the same place we went to on the previous dae without realising it....such a coincidence...does dat mean we haf been walking in rounds??? erm....
the shopping centres were realli meant fer the high-enders...n other shopping areas were the streets....no mid-level shopping centres...so all shopping centres can practically be ruled out....so third dae ended up shopping the places we oreadi went to on dae one...but was glad we went fer round two....cos we picked up quite some good bargains...the intermittent rain was no barrier to us...haa...we could alwiz go into some dessert stall n hang arnd.....others wld hang arnd outside the stalls n wait fer the rain to stop...if it were in s'pore...they would have been chased out or asked to quit blocking the entrance...not in hk....=) the dessert stalls are a must-try...never regretted trying the mango with coconut milk ice blended....i tink...*drool*
the people in hong kong are all quite good-looking....haa...even the bellboys in my hotel...hmm....the gers r pritty too....makes me feel so demoralised.....hmmph~ but overall i feel there r more shuai ges den mei nus....hee...mabbe cos i onli focus on the guys....oops...=X the frequency of having a shuai ge walk past u in hk is mani times more den one in orchard road....haiz....starting to miss hk man...haa....been dreaming dat i'm still in hk these few nites....still cant tune myself back to spore....
will alwiz remember the tour guide uncle yeung man...haa...so 'fatherly' giving so mani advices in life....bit naggy tho...haa....but damn paiseh when he shouted to the 3 of us at the back of the coach on our wae back to hk airport dat he wanted us to bring our bfs the next time we go over to hk.....diaoz...haa....fer those of u out there keen on gg hk...it's a nice place...wun regret gg but dun stay there fer too long....cos eventualli u'll get tired of shopping....haa....but sorrie ar...not me...thot i would boycott shopping fer like one mth...but no....mi now got more urge to go shopping.....hee....(^.<)v
