since i dun have a life n i'm not allowed 2 have a life i'll blog abt my hk trip...
i'm done being depressed...now i'm just slightly frustrated of.......stuff


ok so here goes....

Day 1
woke up at 3 am!! O.o u have no idea how much effort that took me.... reached airport...check in bla bla...ate mcd...board plane
i dun think u're suppose 2 use the camera when u're flying but watever....

3 n a half hours later... reached macau. my 1st tot was: 'okay its really cold.....' actually the temperature wasnt that cold or anything...juz dat the wind was strong
coldness + strong wind = extreme coldness

took a cab to ferry terminal....omg the meter ran like crazy...it was so scary...TICK.. 3 secs later....TICK another 3 secs...TICK.......our ride was 55hkd

we waited at the ferry terminal 4 my sis's bf's boss....then went on the ferry


dunno y some ppl can tell we're sisters but some cant...

reached hk...took mtr....walked(u'll be hearing this word often in this post) 2 hotel...check in....went 4 lunch....ate japanese food.....the ramen there is slightly different...it looks like the normal yellow mee we have but the texture is different...cant explain..no pics either
the guys left 2 do their 'work'... me n my sis walked ard the mall.....

cowie: i bought the thing u wanted...not sure if its the rite 1 but i tink it shud b...*praises pls* lol

went back hotel...damn tired...slept 4 an hour.....den went mongkok
we drank bubble tea...or issit called pearl milk tea? same la... it was nice!!
i was laughin when the pic was taken coz i find it funny that we're trying 2 take a pic in the middle of the streets wif lots of ppl ard....

then went 4 dinner.....ate...umm i tink it was hk food...lol...not very sure...had baked rice wif pork chop in tomato sumthin....dun remember la! but it was quite good... so big portion somemore! but still food there expensive la

after dinner walked ard mongkok aka the shoe place....my sis n i made a decision 2 buy shoes....but walk walk walk...see see see....still cannot decide....went home with nothing but tired feet

on the way back...we saw THIS
in chinese it means: dun sit here, be careful(not 2 hit the pokey things), if u get injured, we r not responsible the owner is so mean....anything 2 stop ppl fr sitting there huh...haha
Day 2

woke up...freshen up....ate brunch....we had duck rice!


my sis's bf likes taking random shots

the guy wif his arm outstretched is my sis's bf's boss...everytime we ate wif them( which is like 85% of the time) he pays...so i'm very grateful!! i look retarded in this pic huh

then me n my sis walked ard tsim sa tsui.......bought a jacket......
ok let me explain this... hk ppl like 2 dress nice nice...even in the winter...so i saw so many so pretty n uber cute jackets!! ohh...n jackets wif the fur seemed 2 be very 'in'.......it looked so cute i cudnt resist!!! altho.....
i bet u guys r wondering: she lives in msia where its ALWAYS summer..buy winter jacket 4 wat??
my answer: I LIKE LA!

ohh i also bought perfume...i cudnt decide between dkny's delicious or anna sui....bcoz i really like the apple scent but like anna sui's 1 more worth it...n its bigger bottle.....so like....SO HARD TO DECIDE LA!!! anyway ended up buyin anna sui......i think its more worth it lo...dkny 1 the price in hk oni SLIGHTLY cheaper....very very very small diff oni
walk walk walk....we went 2 some park aso...

can u c the maze?

we went to the peak after that....the view from there was beautiful...too bad it was a bit foggy that day...

i was shinning so brightly as a lightbulb truout the whole trip....

nice view eh?

the lovebirds.... such a romantic pic rite?? thanx 2 skillful photographer coughmecough


we get 2 play ea games 4 free here!
haha me playin sims2

after that went mongkok 2 hunt for shoes

too many for me to decide.......

den dinner...we had korean bbq!! very nice! didnt take any pics tho...lol... but believe me it was GOOD...the meat was juicy n not a thin piece like they have here....

but i was quite bored since there were 5 of us n i didnt get 2 cook....those who had korean bbq wif me noe i love 2 play wif food! so i watched tv lo...hehe

after dinner we shopped(thats all we do it seems) for a bit n walked back 2 the hotel

Day 3

cudnt decide whether wanna go hk disneyland a not...at the end we didnt go coz not enuff time n we wanted 2 save money 2 shop...hahaha
me n my sis had our morning 2 ourselves so we walked ard

the thing abt hk is...

lets say A sells fish....B will go: 'oh u sell fish i aso sell fish la! somemore we sell the SAME STUFF for the SAME PRICE on the SAME STREET lo...'

kinda stupid rite?? they so 'united' for wat?? rugi oni...

but its damn easy to find something la... if u find 1 petshop u'll find 1 whole row...

like in mongkok... i saw more than 3 nike n adidas stores.....it makes it so confusing coz its hard 2 find ur way when the same stores keep popping up...

i fell in love wif this toy dog! it is the tiniest thing!!! i was tempted 2 kidnap him/her...

hk ppl have really nice pets!! they're uberr cute!!! i love seeing cute doggies trotting ard the streets...

we went 2 spaghetti house for lunch

wat i had....wat i wud have loved to had
that fondue set costs abt 234 hkd......O.o


after that we went 2 repulse bay- the fake beach
this uncle take pic aso damn 'yeng' rite
ok no weird uncles in this pic..
the clear clear water....

my sis's bf said that we shud blow our pd beach away n make a new n cleaner n artificial beach like repulse bay.... =.=

then we went stanley market

on both occasion we took the bus... bear in mind that hk drivers r seriously 'skillful' i'm alwiz amazed at how they can travel at high speed on a normal road....when they c a person walking in front of them..they dun slow down.....they honk while speeding at the same time...

u can imagine y i was wondering if the bus was going 2 fall apart..thank godness we werent standing.... i think lives wud be at stake

we went back 2 tsim sa tsui by bus...we so 'smart' go sit on the front row on the top deck...felt like i was on a rollercoaster since stanley market is like on a hill....so winding la the road....

after that we ate mcds for dinner bcoz we were too lazy to walk further.....went 2 avenue of stars....watched a symphony of lights there as well...



the camera didnt do justice to the view... so many prrweeetyy lightsss
the lovebirds again...haha....c i'm alwiz giving them alone time...
oh ya i'm wearing the jacket wif the fur! xD we were freezing our butts off by then....
huh?


a symphony of lights is a laser light show... it wasnt very great or anything...juz nice 2 c but after awhile boring di... sorry la my attention lifespan super short ok...


after that we went in some building bcoz it was too freaking cold outside...

behold the world of jelly belly!!!!

i love jelly beans!!!

we were supposed 2 go temple street...but we got distracted by an espirit outlet! lol
so by the time we were done it was too late so we went ladies street...


its like petaling street...
they give u an insanely high price at 1st.....n suddenly the price drops...haha
i saw this cute thingy so i asked the lady wat was it..she explained 2 me it was a salt n pepper shaker...so i asked how much la...she say 39....=.=' of cuz i went...er duwan la....n left... bear in mind that i was serious n not trying 2 get her 2 lowe the price... then she pulled me back la...talk talk la...went down to 30 la... my sis was giving me dis look all the while n i was tryin 2 get away.... as i left she said sell 2 u for 20 la... =.='

nope i still didnt buy...i was curious oni la...didnt wanna buy aso...
my sis bought this 'i am lost in hk' tee for herself n a 'hk dim sum' tee 4 my bro....the lady was so lanci i tell u...she say 50...n she say until damn........bitchy la....totally giving us an attitude...we wanted 20 each....so i said 2 my sis...'lets just go i dun like her attitude' den suddenly she say...40 for both (still in bitch mode) my sis even thanked her when she paid but she was still being bitchy.....attitude problem...

oh we also tried some mango sago drink that ppl there were insane after....they're actually willing to pay 20++ hkd for a cup(very small oni la) so weird rite?? if u compare properly its more exp than starbucks here....but it was nice la...juz not worth it oni ma...




Day 4
woke up early.... pack....ate japanese food 4 lunch....
i noe la its weird 4 me to go hk n not eat a single hk food... i mean i had japanese, korean, italian, western....but no pure hk food! lol i aso dunno y

went ferry terminal reach macau.......
an incident there.... ok its written in every info pamplet on macau that there is an airport bus, AP1... so we went 2 the bus stop n waited .....saw 1 but it didnt stop o........ saw another 1 we asked him 2 stop but he juz waved us off.... so my sis's bf ask some lady la...where 2 take airport bus....my sis's bf is a banana so they converse in english la..

lady: no airport! only lisbao! (i 4got the exact name...juz some place in macau la)
we were really clueless...so we tried again la
lady: go in front!!
(in canto) u wait here how 2 go up the bus later!?
GO GO! (in annoyed tone which made me 3109861397347376 times more annoyed than her!!)


so stupid rite??? ppl ask her how 2 take airport bus go ask us go infront when the buses infront doesnt go 2 the freaking airport...
somemore talk 2 us like we idiots liddat...felt like slapping her.......n pushing her on the road.............where she'll be run over by a car........no make it a bulldozer.........more than once.....................more like a few hundred times.........................den *censored*.........ok lets get back 2 reality...

we ended up taking a cab
so lesson of the day: macau is not hk.... their public transport sucks!!
went airport...ate at the airport's cacated restaurant( no other places 2 eat there! can u imagine?) board plane...reach home 1 sumthin am...........



things i noticed about hk:
- it can be quite cold
- the youth r fashionable (in their own way la)
- only cute doggies deserve 2 be pets
- they eat a lot of rice
- the air there quite polluted
- they smoke like nobody's business....(nvr hear b4 lung cancer a!!)
- females there smoke a lot more than here (seriously la lung cancer!)
- i keep seeing students in uniform....at different times a day ( when do they actually study?)
- guardian here is called mannings there
- parking fee there is insanely expensive
- the roads there are shiny ( hahaha totally random rite...but really lorrr....)
- ppl there walk very fast (i duno how they have so much energy....they even walk on escalators......=.=)
- ppl there like 2 play games wif their mini console thingy (like the bodoh orang in 1 restaurant that sat there playing his bodoh game dan tidak beri tempat dia kepada org yg memerlukan ie kita.......i mean come on....after we finish eating n left aso the bodoh org still there wif his game)





p.s: we postpone kl trip to next week la k??











somebody get me out of this hse....i'm going crazy...... helpppp

~..ting..~ hugged you at 10:50 PM;Y
