ooooh hk was mighty fun ((:
i forgot to switch off my phone on the plane. i dunno why i had the impression that it was off. so only when i took it out to 'on' it did i realise that it was never off. haha. and they blame for the turbulence we had. the plane like fell so we had the weird floaty stomach feeling. hahah. after arriving at hk airport, we took a bus down to the road we were going to stay. we got conned by the photos of the hostel on the net. tsk. really deceiving. cos it looks really decent online and stuff but when we arrived at the place, our jaws dropped and we crossed our fingers that we weren't standing in front of the right building. haha. it's really dilapidated. and they still say that it has been intentionally preserved by the govt. anw, the room itself was alright la so after a while we kinda got used to it. spent the rest of our first day walking along nathan road. we walked like almost 3 mtr stops. found a place for dinner too and bought some stuff for our budget breakfast the next day. haha. played cards.
day 2 we went to ocean park! didnt really sit on alot of rides but still enjoyed the company. the minetrain (our first ride) was a wake up for me chrystal and gloria. hahah. cos got 3 drops. and i sat with gloria and she couldnt scream. it was weird. hahaha. i still love you pacey (: took the cable car down. and then we went to walk the WHOLE of nurenjie. by the time we got back to tsim sha tsui we were ready to collapse from all the walking. cos ocean park also alot of slopes and stuff. then nurenjie cuts across 4 roads i think. and each section is veh long. i got 2 knit stuff. and stickers. haha. so we just ate at some random stall for dinner and went back to our hostel by like 7 i think. super early. haha. just played bridge and big2 all the way. and cheryl invented this question and answer game. but it was nice having 'heart to heart' talks. hahaha.
on the third day, what did we do ah.. oh. we went eggtart hunting. went to central. walked like an hour plus on an empty stomach to find this famous eggtart place which we had no idea where the shop was. my goodness. but it was worth the find. the tarts are heavenly! we at them under an overhead bridge like the old locals do. haha. it was yummy (: then we went H&M to shop before going up to victoria's peak. nice view, just spoilt by the pollution. but still. we had ice cream and just sat and talked nonsense for a while before gg for lunch. then we went down to causeway bay to look around and we went to uniqlo and all of us got new jackets. like some hoodies, marshmellow jackets and fleece jackets. hahah. headed back to tsimshatsui on a very VERY packed train (we were literally like sardines in a can and had to wait 4 trains to get on) to put our shopping in our room and then and then... we went to the beeg beeg esprit warehouse! the one i went to in sec 4 which i couldnt rmb if it was a warehouse or just a big outlet. things we very cheap. super marked down prices. alot were like halfpriced and below. like some shirts were gg for S$12? yeah. we spent a really long time in there. haha. then went for dinner and back to our room where we played cards again. and we played the category game. it was damn amusing. we thus concluded that my pacey cannot multitask. haha. she has a very interesting brain. which more of it's secrets were revealed during the trip about how it functions (: i love my pacey. haha
last day, we went for a good DIMSUM breakfast after some weird camwhoring in the room. yay. then went back to central to pick up eggtarts for our families and some snacks. and more food in causeway bay. we looked for this dessert shop. i love steamed milk now (: it's so yummy. ahaha. then we went back to pick up our luggage and headed to the airport. we had popeye's and more card games. there was this little prc girl at the immigration counter. she was so cute! she pointed to her mum and said damn loudly 'ni3 zhen3 me4 ke2 yi3 diu1 xia4 wo3 yi1 ge4 ren2 bu4 guan3?' me and cheryl were laughing at her la. really very cute. haha. the plane ride back was so shiok cos we had alot of leg room. the row right in front of the big screen. hahah. comfy. and nice haagen daz ice cream for dessert! (: love it.
i really enjoyed the trip. although it was damn budget (we only spent s$500 on lodging, transport, shopping, food, leisure) but we had a good time tgt. chrystal is the ultimate. without her we wouldnt have been able to get good bargained prices, or get around with asking directions and etc etc. yay for chrystal. haha. cheryl is the photographer cos we were all too lazy tho we all brought camera. haha.
