Hong Kong

Let's start with the waking up part, was watching wimbledon on the tv, can't remember who it was against, and felt damn sleepy. I went to the com, chatted abit, and suddenly became damn awake. I went back to watching wimbledon, but then switched it off in the end to get some sleep, even though i wasn't very sleepy.

Dreamt that i was entering a club, and the song low was playing in the background. Then suddenly i jumped up and realised it was actually my hp alarm. I was so close to being late.

Bathe changed and took a stroll with my uncle to collect his taxi. The morning breeze woke me up, but i ended up sleepy when i was in the cab.

Reached the airport quite late, then went with the others to have breakfast after checking in, all the while trying to recall this guy who looked so damn familiar, but i just can't seem to remember. Then i saw a person whom i remembered at the whatever shop we went to. Apparently my signal sergeant in stagmont had orded long ago and going on a trip to thailand. It was like not even 5 and his flight was at 7.

First time taking Jetstar, and now i fully understand the meaning of the word BUDGET. All the way from the stewards/stewardess down to the freaking pilot, all NOOBS. Touched the outer part of the plane before i went in, show my appreciation first so that it'll give me a safe trip. HAHA. I am already considered an anyhow sleeper, meaning i can sleep almost anywhere any place. I had difficulty doing that on the plane, goes to show how crap the seats were. I was reading the book i brought on board, and when i heard a bang with a jerk of the seat i thought "oh shit what did we crash onto." Then realise this was the landing, this guy must be trained in the arcade, totally no skill at all. Alight already still have to take a 10 mins bus ride to the freaking airport to get through the custom, really is no class at all.

After collecting our stuff, we took the public transport, which consisted of trains and bus to our hotel.

Got to the hotel, changed out of the airport wear and off we went. Went to Tsim sha shui i think, had our first meal at a random teahouse. ROAST GOOSE, first time eating, katherine recommended, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely taste better than duck. Then we shopped and shopped and shopped AND shopped, technically is they, most of the time i only walk, went to so many places until i blur, shop until say want to go back hotel because of typhoon coming and we ended up in another shop. By the time we came out the shop the freaking typhoon was like an hour away. The relaxed crowd went some way to calm us down, typhoon only ma, still so many people on the streets with no sense of urgency, RELAX LA.

Then suddenly the streets became quite empty.

Shocked sia like suddenly with a snap of the finger everybody teleport away. Due to the relatively new surrounding we took cab back to the hotel instead.

Had a nice hot bath, and cooled down for like 10 mins, you know stretching all those, bloody vigorous activity, then spent some time watching the tv, they had nat geo and discovery, so quite interesting. Just like that, the first day flew by, except that through the night couldn't really sleep cause nick was like snoring damn loudly.

2nd day woke up at around 6+, then saw the rain, sian diao cannot go down walk, so went back to sleep til 8. Eunice came to wake us up, brush my teeth wash up ready to go, wah everybody not ready.

Many light years later.

We went off looking for breakfast, actually intended to buy food back to prepare for the typhoon, then buy everything already then realise opposite got teahouse open. In the end we still bought the food, and it ranked among one of the best meals of our trip later on.

I ate the sort of charsiew maggie mee, quite nice. After that when we went back to the hotel, the warning signal lowered already, so all decided to go shopping, anyway i don believe they'll stay in the hotel, with or without the typhoon hahaha.

Due to all the raining we had to amend our destination for the day so we decided not to go to disneyland, well sort of, we still went in the end, but not exactly. Anyway, WHAT BETTER WAY TO START THE DAY THAN SHOPPING.

Most of the time for me was walking still, can't really remember where we went to, nvm wednesday ended after me and nick hollanded into some highway already, had to take cab back to our hotel, quite ex some more because the distance travel damn long hahhaha. Fast forward to thursday.


Another rainy day, the thing that makes recalling the worst is because everyday rain, everyday walk, that i can't really remember which day is which, seemed like everyday typhoon also, only clear that thursday was drizzling and friday had clear weather Today we went to central, i think it's like the orchard of HK, all the branded stuff. Then there's this very very big 3 storey shop, omg alot of stuff.

Never really buy anything, everything is like cheap but not cheap enough, ask me to spend 50 60 dollars on a shirt needs alot considering. Don't know why also, just can't convince myself to buy. However eating is different, if the food is good its worth it.

After that its like already 4, and we decided to eat dim sum, since we haven't tried it since we reached hk. After searching and asking around for awhile, we went into 1 damn high class restaurant. Even the waiter, some old uncle, act like he king, waiting for us to serve him. We ordered those that were readable, and had to wait awhile before the food came. Everything about the restaurant fail, except the food. I think that was the best ever dim sum i've ever eaten. The shrimp so fresh, omg....

After that we decided to go the peak, walked to the bus stop and went up all the way, abit scary sia it's quite a long drop. Saw quite a few houses on the peak, don't know which celebrity one, isolated alone at some place faraway from the peak of the peak hahahha. After some photo taking, we decided to go to the wax museum, alot of the wax figures look damn real, until a point that it's scary, alot of dead celebrities also, goosebumps man. Doesn't help when need to go into some god damn freak house. Luckily being the cool me, those things and people don't scare me at all. AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

After that we went up to the top to take some pictures, damn high, a very very long drop down man, don't think can find the body after the drop also. Stand there feel the clouds moving pass, quite nice, but the view afterwards got blocked by the clouds, so couldn't see much already.

We took a tram down, and decided to go back eat instant noodles for dinner, with char siew and xiu ngor as side dish, oh my freaking god mouth watering dishes. katherine and eunice went next door to buy the dishes while we drag all the stuff back.

Boiled water and proceed to cook our noodles, sitting on the floor eating the noodles with the roast goose and charsiew, oh my god, really is 不枉此生。I still think if we don't sit on the floor and eat it won't be as nice. HAHA

Due to the rain, we couldn't really go out, so had to make do with rotting. I went for a beer with nick downstairs, then after that came back cabin. As my mp3 no battery already, went over to sleep in katherine and jia room, thought they playing cards or what, in the end my book haven even read 20 pages all lights off already. Talk about not sleeping through the night, hahaha but i really is sleep floor sleep until very comfortable. That was the only night i slept through the whole night into the morning. Still made some stupid dream that i was late for book in, ma de.

Woke up to see the sun streaming through the gap between the windows, lie there stone awhile cause i was not suppose to make any noise unless i got tired of living. Soon after, the alarm clock rang, and very long after then they started waking up. We went down for dim sum, the cheaper version, which meant more food, actually i think alot more. Eat and eat and eat and eat, and it's like only $8, omg, another definition of daylight robbery.

Took quite awhile for us to digest, then went back hotel pack up. Stone and rot for awhile, then we went to take bus to go airport. It was a long long ride, reach airport already 4+. Eat lunch, or dinner, then we walk around and went to play arcade. Their arcade is damn freaking cool man, so totally unlike singapore one, alot of fun too.

Buy the wife's biscuit, checked in, buy donuts, then go departure wait to board plane already. Again, BUDGET really is BUDGET, you pay for the quality man. Board plane also must take a bus to the plane there, have to ownself freaking use my leg to climb up the plane. The stewardess also, bloody hell, stupid bitch don't even know what uniform she wearing come and act punk, really is no brainer omg, reminds me of my workplace. I think the pilot scared of heights also, because he took like half of the whole flight descending. The moment he reached the targetted altitude he start descending already, take so bloody long to touchdown omg, budget. I forgot to add that their engine really is like those F1 torro rosso or redbull car, cheapcheap cannot win race one. Maybe i should be glad i'm back in 1 piece. Still dare to announce "hope to serve you again".

Throw you.

By the time i reach home already 1+, damn lazy to do anything. Actually i wanted to seperate this post and add pictures together, but then i damn lazy again, took damn long to type this post la, i think this is the current record for the longest post ever in my blog. Well record are meant to be broken. I guarantee the next trip will be an even longer post. 1000 over pictures, maybe after posting 50 i kena ban already. HAHA
