|| Hong Kong part I ||

Since the Chinese new year is round the corner, I can finally make myself an excuse not to study!! Haha..which means I would have a lot of time to blog! I realised that I do have a lot of photos to upload! The thought of it actually makes me wana faint...because I feel its a very very very troublesome process, having to resize them, upload them to photobucket, and finally to blogger. Though it is a very troublesome process, but I have still decided to do it!! Haha...so enjoy them!

The Super delayed Hong Kong photos!

That is our plane to HK! Technicians doing the last safety checks!

Finally reached Hong Kong after a 3 hr flight~ Waiting for the Airport MTR express train to bring us to the city...We are heading to Kowloon!

In the airport express!

After the long trip from Singapore, we finally checked into our hotel at Tsim Sha Tsui and headed down to Mong Kok for some good food! Yum Yum...Steamboat! The best part about the dinner are their coke bottles! They are from the 60's! Since we don't see them in Singapore anymore, I actually wanted to bring those home..but I was too lazy..so I just took a picture of them..hahaha

The 60's coke bottles!

In the midst of the busy streets in Mong Kok

If you guys are watching the 9 o'clock show on SCV channel 55, "Tian mu xia de lian ren", this is the shopping centre! The LangHam Place! This shopping centre is HUGE! Its 13 stories high...and it has many shops too...But too bad we didn't have a lot of time to spend there...so we just window-shopped almost every shop and visited the "romantic sky top" at the highest level...it was indeed romantic!

The super long escalator

So after a night of good food and shopping, we headed back to our hotel to have some rest, because the whole of next day would be spent in Macau!

Waiting for the MTR to come!

Me and Celestine!

After having breakfast at a tea cafe, we headed on board to the ferry! *Macau here we come!* But we were probably one of the earliest to get on board, so we ended up having to wait for quite some time for the ferry to leave for Macau, so I ended up rating this ferry ride the worse in my whole life. Not because I had to wait for a long time, but because it was anchored there for a while, and the waters were choppy, I was seasick! I had nv felt this way before and it was really terrible..

While waiting for the ferry to head off..

Yay we finally reached Macau's ferry terminal!!!!

Gladys and me

The fisherman's Wharf

After spending some time (and losing money..Haha) at Sands Casino..its was time for lunch at a restaurant called "Fat Siu Lau" which served portugese food. But I didn't really like what I had there...I prefer chinese food a hundred times!

Outside "Fat Siu Lau" Restaurant

After lunch, we headed on to more sight-seeing, which is the famous Church! Unfortunately, the monument was under construction, and the photos turn out quite ugly...such a waste!!

In front of the Chruch wall...ugly right? Haha..

What is the point of coming to Macau without visiting their most high-tech casino? Personally, I prefer coming to Wynn Casino than Sands. Firstly, because its decoration is much nicer. Secondly, their machines are more high-tech..you can get the computer to be the dealer! But most importantly, I won money there! Hahaha...! Well, but ppl shld go and have a look..very nice!

At Wynn's musical fountain

After our sight-seeing, our host brought us to Macau's revolving tower restaurant to have our dinner...I heard that per head is abt S$98! So ex! But I am telling you..their fondue is SUPERB!! That's my favourite dessert...I had 10 sticks of strawberry at one go! Haha...How I wish I could bring the chocolate fondue fountain home... =P

Revloving Tower!!

One of the most romantic dinner, I could say was in the revolving restaurant. Because there was this group of singers, going around to sing love songs for lovers while dining. And we had a song sang for us while dining! Though we were a little shy..haha but it was no doubt a good experience!

After the song

After a whole day's fun of gambling, eating and sight-seeing at Macau, we were all ready to get re-charged for the next day, which was to head to Ocean Park!
