2nd july 2005, sat
1st day in hk.. checked into the hotel at abt 12.. unpacked some of our stuff n off we go to shop. was kind of lost initiali.. but thanks to a map, we managed to make our way around n geared up for a shopping spree! bought quite a number of stuff n realised need to restrict myself.. if not no more money to spend for the remaining daes.. finali settled for dinner at a restaurant renowned for its dessert, tang chao.. n guess who we met over there? fellow singaporeans! n wat's more, 1 of them was joleen, my 307 class rep! lolx. we were so happie to see each other as the people there doesnt reali speak our language.. i guess being in a foreign land, it's heartening to see someone u noe.. :P but sadly they were staying in another hotel dat's quite far from ours.. so we bid goodbyes.. n never saw each other for the rest of the trip.. hk is not dat small after all..
3rd july 2005, sun
woke up early todae as we r going to ocean park. there's many ppl there.. i guess cos it's closing soon for revamp n everyone wanna go there before dat dae.. anywae, tink it's reali nice over there wid quite a number of interesting rides.. 1st ride we took was a boat ride, followed by the viking. sat at the highest end.. definitely was a most stomach-tugging experience as we swayed from 1 high end to another.. :x next we got on this ride called the abyss made up of 2 vertical towers. each tower seat 12 persons.. n the ride started by shooting all the way up ( i tink there's 12 storeys).. scenery viewed from up there is absolutely mind-blowing.. then came the climax. which is the journey down. a nasty drop down to 1/4 of the tower then upward thrust then down again for about 3 times n it was all over. whoosh.. i almost tot my heart stopped. dat was the last ride i went for as i doubt i can take it anymore.. these rides r not exactly for the faint hearted.. dear actuali wanted to try the rollercoaster but i wasnt dat game for it.. mainly bcos the ride was over the sea n there's nuthin to hold u down.. imagine u din hold the railing properly.. n off u go into the deep blue sea.. dat wasn't exactly wat i'd wan.. noe dat i was being a wet blanket but well.. these games arent reali for mi.. n so we shopped around in the shops n bought some souvenirs.. after dat went back to the hotel as dear's relatives are coming over.. unpacked while waiting for them. n finali they arrived at about 4, chatted for about 1 hr then off we went for dinner at a chinese restaurant. was kind of impressed with their generosity. ordered alot of food which we can't finish in the end.. n dear's aunt even gave mi a red packet. felt kind of overwhelmed by their hospitality. after the dinner, her cousin even offered to bring us around. brought us to temple street as dear wanna buy jade.. saw a not bad one but decided to look around somemore.. went back a 2nd time as dear was quite keen on buying.. only to change her mind at the last min as she tink it doesnt suit her.. duhx.. both mi n her cousin were lyk huh? but nvm le.. women r fickle.. after dat we went to charm of stars. it is a very beautiful walkway wid colourful lights decorating it. along the path, there's also handprints of the famous lyk andy lau n jet li.. took some pictures over there n we were on our way home as it's quite late already.. was shagged by the time we reach the hotel room..
4th july 2005, mon
dear's friendly cousin brought us around again. went to tsim sha tsui as there's a number of good buys over there. a lot of wholesale shops there. managed to buy some clothes for my sisters n myself.. though not exactly fruitful as half of the time was helping dear look for clothes for her grandma n mum.. at some point in time i was even feeling frustrated as she's quite undecisive.. finali she decided on a piece n everything was ok.. then i went to do my hair while they continued shopping.. spent about 2 n a half hours in the salon. argh.. stiff neck n all.. wasnt dat satisfied with the hairdresser but the haircut turns out alrite.. so forget it le.. after dat we went shopping around somemore then headed for our residence.. another uncle of dear came at around 1030 then brought us to look around somemore as it's our last dae. walked all the way to mongkok which is about 3 train stations away.. finali got a chance to see the nite life over there. n i reali envied the people over there. hk is definitely a more happening place. their shops are open till late n many people still roam the streets at midnite.. even if 1 doesnt lyk clubbing, can go shopping.. but well.. 1 regret is i never got a chance to see the pubs over there cos dear wasnt keen to go.. n so we headed back for our hotel n lights out at 2..

last dae at hk. was supposed to check out at 1010 when our flight is at 1405! wat's their problem? wasted 1 day of my trip!! n so we walked around aimlessly for half an hr n dear was feeling kind of pissed n so was i.. saw a group of gers(some in uniform?!) chasing stars at the airport. apparently this korean star, rain is departing hk.. duhx.. not of my interest.. finali we were able to find a counter to check in n unload our luggage.. dat's when dear began to cheer up n after a meal of dim sum, which was most untastely, she was back to her cheery self. we shopped around the transit area but werent able to find the swatch watch we lyk.. sigh.. the one i lyk has yellow flowers as its chain while her's is a red pop watch.. but guess not fated ba.. sigh..
3 hrs passed quickly n we were on our flight back. dear took the window seat again.. humph! but i still maneged to peek out. both of us marvelled at the beautiful sight out there. the cotton candy liked clouds looked so cute.. pity my cam is unable to capture the photos.. sigh.. reached singapore at 1730.. waitied a darn long time to pass immigration.. sad as there's no one to pick mi up.. :< in the end shared a cab wid dear.. n hafta lugged the luggage up a flight of stairs by myself.. home sweet home finali.
overall, the hk trip was most fruitful. through it, our friendship has strengthened n it was definitely an eye-opening experience. from 2 blur sotongs, we grew to be familiarised wid the streets over there, able to navigate our way around. hope i'll be able to go for another one soon.
