Hong Kong : Day 1,2,3 ft. Ocean Park!
*huff huff*
*blowing away all the dust*
HEY-LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW EVERYONE! *big hugs
and kisses*
How’s your day…without me? Do you feel
empty or something like missing something in your wonderful life? Don’t close
the tab now, ei-eonk, because today I’m back already and I will start telling
you the reason behind my absence lately!
If you were following me on Instagram and
Twitter, or maybe you’re on my BlackBerry Messenger contacts you will soon
remember that I was on a HOLIDAY TRIP TO HONG KONG! The trip started from June,
29th 2013 to July, 8th 2013. And if you’re asking why I just
got back blogging by today, well even a week is not enough for me to gain the
strength, mood, and all I need to do my routines back. Now I’m ready!
Basically I was having 10 days of holiday
trip. I was happened to be in HK for my first 3 days, and then I got away to
Macao for the next 3 days and stayed back at HK for the rest 4 days. During my
trip, I also visited some amusement parks and some interesting *ahem*
restaurant, but not I took the photos of them all. Okay. Often forgot to bring
my camera along. *run far far away*
I will divide my post into 3 parts; the
first one will be this post which tells you about my first-in-Hong Kong for the
first 3 days. R U READYYYYYYY?
This trip was joined by 4 people, me, my
brother, Granny and Grandpa. We flied using the Cathay Pacific airlines,
because my Grandpa didn’t want to transit in anywhere to save time and energy.
The ticket was quite expensive as I paid $6250 for the journey and back. It was
the high season, so no question la, the service given there and the
entertainment I enjoyed really were worth the price!
After the tiring 4 and a half hours
flight, we were picked by Granny’s cousin there and we were quickly heading to
Tsim Sha Tsui for a lunch!
My Granny’s Auntie swore by, this
restaurant has the BEST, MOST DELICIOUS Hainan chicken rice she ever had in the
life! And…yes, it is delicious. Supaaa delicious. Not even the Hainan chicken
in Singapore, not even one can beat it… Visit there when you get chances!
No pictures attached, we were extremely
hungry to quickly munched them all LOL but the kind me told me to snap a pic of the address of this awsummm rest!
The city’s view, taken from inside the
car. Tsim Sha Tsui and the Airport’s located in the other island, while we were
going to stay at a mansion at Hong Kong Island, meant we gotta go through some
underwater and tunnels ahead!

It’s day 2! Today’s plan was to go to Ocean
Park. Before that, we should have breakfast and lunch which were had at this
ah-may-zinccccc restaurant, Fung Shing Restaurant! It’s located in Sheung Wan
area, Hong Kong Island. I swear byyyyy this restaurant also has the best dim
sum set, and dinner set, EVER… to the pictures!
this is my fave! |
who doesn't love Mochi! :3 |
*drooling*
"Mom I want more." "Okay, here you go." |
Okay. Enough drooling. The restaurant sure
was quite crowded, especially on working days as the workers usually had their
breakfast there before going to work. Psst, an useful information alert, this
restaurant’s having the discount for the order placed before 11 A.M!
Next to the restaurant, there was this
Western Market. OMG. I quickly felt like being in London alreadyyy…with the
touch of Asian market. Okay.

can't help not to camwhore! |
We took this tram to go to Ocean Park.
CHEAPEST RIDE IN HONG KONG. LOL! We called it “teng teng” because it always
sounded the “teng teng” out every time it stopped! ~(‾‾ᴥ‾‾)/\(‾‾ᴥ‾‾)~
At the terminal before getting in bus to
go to Ocean Park. This terminal is located at Admiralty, and you can get the
ticket for Ocean Park here.
In my opinion, the ticket to enter Ocean
Park is quite cheap compared to the one to enter Disneyland…and well, the park
is also a looooot, lot bigger than Disneyland but that also the main reason
keeping me far from the hope of getting back in there once again. Tired to walk
and queue!!!!!!! NO KIDDING!
So here's the Ocean Park! Not a lot pictures, I know you're enough to see it and scroll your way down...
some attractions inside the Park! |
It didn’t make sense, how they could sell
CUTEEEEEEE things like those penguins and pandas, far far faaaaaar more
expensive than the entrance ticket itself. Made people lost their passion to
buy stuffs, u know the feeling right… *sob*
I WANT TO HAVE THEM A.L.L. |
panda fever is everywhereeeeeee |
I also rode the cable car to go to the
other side of Ocean Park. The queue itself took me ONE HOUR before we could finally reach the cable car. This is the
reason, second reason not to getting back in there. Started to wonder if going
there on Sunday was my biggest mistake…
Good to know my Acrophobia didn’t react
too much when it came to the ride. Phew. I swore I won’t take that cable car
again to go home, so Stewart took us to ride the express train. WHY WON’T HE
TELL ME THERE WAS A TRAIN AT THE FIRST PLACE??? No queuing, anyway!

Think you will realize soon that I camwhored just a little? I usually am a camwhore everywhere I go, but this time..too lazy la~
don't mind my carriage. duh. |
If croco actually looks like dis, I don't mind being his meal. |
Finally the show of dolphins and the other
ocean creatures. After the show (and sorry for the spots—my camera was kinda
crazy, I didn’t know what was wrong with it geez) and visiting the Grand
Aquarium, we got back to the city and that’s how I met H&M and shopped like
crazy.
And for day 3…I shopped all day, ftw. Left
my camera at the mansion for me to reduce the weight of my carriage inside the
bag. Glad I did… *get slapped by reader, virtually* By the way, these are two pictures I managed to snap before my cam's totally dead. Beautiful indeed.
Jellyfish, too transparent to be seen without the colorful lights. |
That’s how my first three-days of trip in
Hong Kong. Do you think..I should really *glek* continue writing this report?
Not so much photos were taken—you know I got not very plenty of time to do such
photograph and so, because we were always after the time. Time flies sure fast…
Amazing to see these fishes! How many are they...I mean, how much! |
Okay. No more being random. Glek.
Tell me if you’re still, ahem, curious
about my trip-without-too-much-photos-and-too-random-not-beauty-related this
time. Would really appreciate if you still expect for the following days’
report, tho!
Good to know this huge, boring rambling is
over? Okay, I’m closing this post now! See you later, please please pleaseee
don’t unfollow my blog. Hihi. Got a tutorial coming up very soon, and manyyyyy
reviews ahead. Cao! <3
4 kisses
