I would like to say i really thank God i can go to this last min holiday trip. I prayed day and night hoping that i can go because applying oversea leave is hard.
I was very excited on the day we gonna leave Hong Kong. We had to reach the airport by 4.30am (i think, forget liao).
Look at our happy faces haha
During the trip i think we took like 1,500++ photos! Praying hard that Jordan willfind his memory card.
Day 1
Once we landed at Hong Kong, we straight went to buy the octopus card and took a bus to our Hostel. The Hostel was not bad at all, although it was very small but its quite clean and comfortable. Did not took a photo of my room but i can describe for you guys. From my bed the exit door is 1 step away and the toilet is also 1 step from my bed. Anyway the hostel is only use for sleep at nite only.
After we place our bags in the hostel we quickly head to the streets to find lunch! we walked around the streets near our hostel and found a quite expensive dim sums but it's nice! (Maybe it was our stomach growling). We were quite hungry because we ate super uber early breakfast at the airport like 5am like that then we waited for lunch like 3pm. We ordered like a few dim sums and shared among 7 of us + the waiting time of the food was uber long too.... When 1 dish arrive the 7 of us attacked like a vulture haha. After eating..... i think we head somewhere to shop haha forget liao too much shopping done in a week. After short time of shopping went back to hostel to Zzzzz.
Day 2
View of the the city from the hostel room!
For day 2, i think the most memorable thing were shopping at H&M. I think we stayed in the stall for more then 2 hours i think haha.
oh ya dun forget the famous wanton mee at HK, we had for brunch
after shopping and eating we head down to the PEAK!! to see some awesome scenery of HK cities from the top. We took a bus up the hill and it was quite scary because we took a double decker bus and there are many turns to go up the hill. It really looks like the bus is at the edge of the road and may fall anytime. Once we were up there we took a group photo haha!
Here is a nice view of the city, over at the peak!
Day 3
We headed down to ocean park!
Once we enter the ocean park we head down to see the fishes. The stingrays are 1 of the animal that catches my eyes. Different sizes of sting rays. Hmmmmm if only the stingrays are cooked with chili haha! After that we head to the amusement park by cable car. It was actually quite scary for a person who has a fear of heights. After that we head to our first ride. It's called The Flash! No idea why they called that cause the ride swings a few time and rotate 360 degrees 3 times. Look at Jordan face expression Haha! Lynette's looks excited to take it.
As you can tell i am afraid of heights i didn't take The Flash ride at all haha. But I was surprise Jordan took it after the guys finish the first ride. After that we head down to the mine roller coaster. 5 out of 7 of us went to queue up for the ride and only Jordan and me didn't took the ride. When they about to reach their turn jordan ask me to join them cause 1 of them will have to sit with someone else. Jordan manage to push me and i went to take the roller coaster. My palms were sweating when i was in the roller coaster ride. Super scary! When the ride starts i quickly used my wind breaker to cover my eyes for the entire ride without knowing what's gonna happen at all. It was very scary because i do not like the feeling of my butt leaving from the seat. Here is a pic that we bought from the roller coaster!
haha as u can see my face is covered!
After the roller coaster we head down to take some of the other rides. For the rest they took the Dragon ride roller coaster which goes 360 degrees. After that we took the viking super scary i took the ride and had the same feeling of butt leaving from the seats and the rest was like so excited and for the entire ride i closed my eyes and hung on the handles.
After the amusement park we head back and went to see the Pandas! Yeah we hang around there for like 30mins+++ and see the panda eating their plants and the SURPRISE thing is the panda went to shit in the pond given to him and he went to the pond and drank the water AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! but the panda looks cute haha! A picture of him!
After the pandas, we went to the ladies market to do SHOPPING!!! wohooo. That place need to Bargain! A Place where all the ang mohs usually get trick by the shop owners. The shop owners always over price their product. I think the funny thing is that when we are interested in a product and ask for the price and it is over price we walked away and the shop owner ask us to name our price or they decrease the price by bit when we walk away further and further. During the shopping at the ladies market we bought street snacks like the HK version of Shilin Chicken! It's Very nice and tender better then the SG! and we all had GONG CHA!
Day 4
I think we head to MACAU! took a ferry there! So excited cause it's like the holiday trip we went to 2 countries instead of 1. First we head to the Venetian to see the artificial scenery! Was very nice! After that we head to the St. Paul ruins!
We had lunch over there. Not v.good at all but we look tired haha!
Bought some snacks home to SG! love the Portuguese egg tart over there! After Macau we head to H&M again to do some shopping again lol! Stayed there till the shop closed.
Day 5&6
We went to ladies market again haha. I think we went there like 3 times!
We had breakfast at Macs love their Egg & Ham Macaroni with cheese!
Day 7
Packed all our shopping stuff and head to the HK airport. When we were at the airport, I saw a group of Japanese ppl were very worried about their families in Japan and they were trying to contact them. Sadly, all the flight to Japan were canceled. We were early at the airport and have some time to rest. During the rest time i was reflecting about what happen at Japan and was thinking of my church talking about the Urgency of the Hour + My church next year is focusing missions at Japan. I am amaze how God knows the Kairos Moment for us to reach out to the ppl of Japan and How Urgent we need to reach out to them! After reflecting, our counter open and we going to check-in our bags. We were queuing up and worry about the weight cause we may go over the weight regulation. So i quickly go ask a counter to lent us their weighing counter to weigh our luggage. Thank God none of our luggage exceeds the weight limit! Then we head HOME Singapore!
Thank you to Cheryl & Lynette for letting me save the photos.
