HONG KONG TRIP!Long overdued post.. Let the photos do most of the talking...
Breakfast at Changi Airport. Excited abt the trip!
Dear's frens from Ultimate Frisbee came and gave us a surprise! Friendly peeps! And to think the flight was early in the morning!
Making stupid faces on the plane.. Jetstar... Crampy leh..
After around 4 hrs of flight, we reached HK.. but we had to get on a bus transfer which will bring us to the main airport building.. sthin different.. afterall this is budget trip.. =p
Airport train transfer which will bring us to HK Island, after which we will take a cab to his auntie's house at Old Peak Road.
Baby Jules!
After a sumptious lunch at their house, we decided to venture out for more food & shopping! Of cos, we got the map in hand. Auntie Dawn actually also prepared some guide books for us~ Nice!We walked down from their apartment, cut through HK Zoological & Botanical Garden before reaching Lam Kai Wan. It was that near to Central!
We had the must try dumpling noodles ( Shawn insist!) at the Tsim Chai Kee located at 98 Wellington Street. The dumplings are really huge! More than 2 prawns in each dumpling wor!
Beef Noodles. The beef is cooked perfectly.

Beef Noodles. The beef is cooked perfectly.7-Eleven can be found almost everywhere.. And the stuffs they sell there are quite different from those in Singapore. Even the drinks are different! Okiz I sound like a kampong gal now.
We didnt buy anithing on the 1st day.. But we ate a lot.. Love the street food.. chilli balls and squids and all!
Mango feast at Hui Lau Shan! Yummy! Just look at the desserts!
Yes we went back for more street food.. hee~
And dear couldnt resist another bowl of wanton mee. This time at Rong Yuan.. located just at a alley behind Hui Lau Shan.. Authentic street side stall where locals eat! Yes we did our homework before going HK okiez.
Day 2: Jules is smiling at the camera lady-- ME! Okiez so is Shawn! =)
Nice house rite? We have a toilet to ourselves too! They have a lot of paintings ard the house too. Love the concept.
Had to cut across the Zoo/Garden again.. cant resist it but take more pics.. Ya I know I cant jump~
Brunch was at Wang Fu. I love the chives & meat dumpling soup! I so feel like eating it now~~~
Oh did I mention that we were heading for Disneyland?! *bright smile*

Everyone is going to the castle~ 
I wanted to take photo with Donald Duck one... but just as we reached the queue, the staff says the queue was too long and we got to join the queue for the next session.. so sad... =( that was one of my aim leh.. so in the end we took photos with Goofy & Pluto..Not that bad too cos dear likes Goofy. Q:how come both are dogs but only 1 can speak 
Eeyores!!! 
The queu for the rides were soooo long~ We only tried one round~
The parade!

Cinderella's pumpkin coach~ 
They gave us "shades" for the firework display and when u use it to view the lights, they become snowman!!!

Day 3~~ We went to Yum Cha! And boy did we wait long for seats~~
And we waited and waited and waited~ Its those traditional old style chinese tea house where you got to wash ur tea cups etc in tea...
Can u spoilt him?
Yummy yummy! 
Shopping at H & M. And we saw Ella & Hebe from SHE!! They were shopping too.. but we cant take photos with them.. respect their privacy ok! The whole day was spent shopping but again we didnt buy much.. Partly is due to the fact that all the shops were selling winter clothes and boots~ So sad! But I bought 3 bags =) Dun even mention Women's street... Nothing one loh! And they like syndicates!
Egg Balls... Lovely snack!
We had dinner with Auntie Dawn & Uncle Nicol at a crab restaurant.. Supposedly famous~ And really expensive.. After that we went for dessert at Happy Valley then a massage session! 
4th Day~ Last Day at HK~
Off for breakfast! Its only 7 plus am okie. We were waiting for the Egg Tart stall opposite to open for business.
Finally a pic of Jules & family before we leave for the airport. 
Lovely Jules! Just look at his smile!
And its back to Singapore after this! Realli thankful to Auntie Dawn & Uncle Nicol for letting us stay at their lovely house. We saved on the accomodation fees and transport fees too cos its really near to Central. Disneyland was fun but I am sure its not as good as other disneylands. But dun be too picky lah hor? Weather was lovely & my hair was really tame there! haha... Food was superb but luckily not much gain in weight. Must be from the exercise we did climbing up & down the steepy slopes everywhere. My calves were aching so much! Map reading skills improves a teeny weeny bit cos Shawn is my directory.. hehe.. Shopping was not that fantastic cos we went during the wrong season.. But all in all, I enjoyed myself during this trip. Thanks dear!

But all in all, I enjoyed myself during this trip. Thanks dear! This trip brought back some memories of the time I went to HK with my poly yr 3 mates & lecturer. It was fun & interesting too. At that time Disneyland has yet to open. But it seems like just some time ago that we were all at HK. And I remembered I left a shirt (wore only once) in the hotel room. It must be under the blanket! And there was the visit to the Peak , Madame Tussaud, Ripley's Believe it or Not, HK University, HK tourism board seminar etc etc etc. And not forgetting some eerie encounters there... It was the 7th lunar month and they were burning joss papers at night at the markets.. Unforgettable trip~
So dear, where shall our next trip be? Relaxation trip at Bintan as per ur suggestion? But no mud pls.. =) Lurb u!
