went to the butterfly area at terminal 3 (i think). hahaha! didn't know this place existed in the airport. hahaha.. eh.. took this nice shot of a butterfly! ohwell... went really close to it. cos apparently my camera isn't really that fantastic. so zooming wouldn't help. thankfully this butterfly just stayed still. hahahaha!
switching terminals. before boarding the plane bound for hongkong. that's what we do when there's nothing. hahaha! remember telling myself, 'no shopping in singapore'. shopping however, really did begin in hongkong. hahaha!
in the aeroplane with zhuang an. we got the 2-seater seats right at the back of the aeroplane. so imagine the time we wasted alighting. hahaha! plus the custom at hongkong really was crowded. so we took almost an hour or more before clearing out of the custom. errs... but then we really got 'conned' taking this limousine luh.. stupid man! keep pestering us. however, the good thing was that he took us out of the arrival area. cos hongkong airport really is one confusing one. hahaha! so yeah... though we paid quite a bit for it, the journey to the hotel was cut short. (: mum's friend was already there waiting for us to help us check in. errs.. if i'm not wrong, everything was done, it was already like 4plus when we entered our room. it was good! oh the hotel we stayed is called Langham Place, 5-star! really is. hahaha! comfortable and sweet smelling environment. though the surroundings were way off 5-star standard, it was still good.
after putting down on luggage, rested for awhile. we went off. my plan was to bring za to the shop whereby we can get jeans and other clothes quite cheaply. hahaha.. but then we ended up at the wrong place. we ended up at 'central'
heehee! fret not! i didn't buy anything from this shop in central. though we got ourselves some fakes from ladies street. hahahaha! >.<
called mum to check if i'm at the correct place cos we toured around central for ages. and true enough i was wrong. hahaha! so we had to take the mtr backwards to tsim sha shui. luckily, when we came out of the undergrounds, i could recognise the place. hahaha! so went to the jersey shop!!! bought myself a manutd jersey and for uncle jeff arsenal. hahahaha! eh.. it was super good luh.. we really looked like the actual ones! c'mon believe it! i can wear it and nobody will think it's fake. got it for HK$140 about S$28 (manu) and the other one (arsenal) was at HK$130. cos i told him to lower the price if i buy one more.. totaly za and i bought 4. hahaha! oh wait.. u know when i got there. the price per jersey (shirt only btw) was HK$185. that's about S$37. so i gave him the shock feeling! last year i came wif my mum, we chanced upon this shop, we paid HK$150 after bargaining. hahaha.. and the shop isn't like some open-air shop but in a shopping centre. hahaha! so i told that guy my HK friend told me to come here to get, and i didn't believe him and blah.. then that guy suddenly went.... 'oh. okayokay can 140.' ownded! anyway the first one hasn't fail me, material wise. so hopefully the new one i've bought won't too! (: afte that went to the shop where i got my jeans and all. shop is called uni olo or smth. pictured. got myself 2 pairs of jeans and a jacket. the place is good. cos u can alter ur jeans on the spot and collect it after like an hour time or so. hahaha! so yeah.. save money. it will be good for ppl who has ran out of clothings. although the grey jeans was nice, it didn't have my size ): but it's okay. i know the two whic i've bought are good enough. (:
next day was disneyland. hahaha.. before deciding to come here right, we were like at causeway bay. LOST! we walked from one mtr station to another can! legs were seriously tired like mad! hahaha.. but nvrmind. we ended up in a kids' paradise. there were new stuffs too.
'santa i've been a good boy. so what are you giving me for christmas?'
p.s all i want for christmas this year, is you. (:
this is seriously the MOST exciting ride, but not that i've ever taken but in HK disneyland. i suppose this disneyland is mainly for small kids? cos the rides there were not so much of a thrill. hahaha.. and this super pose we took was shiok sia. 'no kick!'
'a little camwhore pleasure for a camwhor-er.' hahaha! nah.. i didn't buy this toy in the end.
'big guns for big BANGS!' woooo...
spent a great deal of time at disneyland. hahaha! before heading back to the hotel. our legs were dead tired. though the food at disneyland FAILED BADLY! )): and i got blamed. LOL. i really have no idea what else to eat in disneyland which will be good. anyway didn't catch the fireworks, cos we didn't know what to do in between. hahaha! ohwell.. it's okay.
'hotel room's view'
went to ocean park the next day. though we woke up late. hahaha! and i think this sign before boarding the cable car there was funny luh! za spotted it. so didn't really capture a good shot on camera cos no time! ): nvrmind.. hahaha. we wanted to have it printed on shirts.
i guess those beautiful views are what singapore cannot achive. hahaha! mountain view and house amid them. (: fantastic. though hk really do need to improve on their pollution level. grrr.. making me fall ill on the last 2 days.. hahahaha!
went to see pandas! first time in my life. hahaha! didn't get a chance to do so the last visit. cos i don't know why oso. but the pandas were really cute and interesting creatures... endangered yeah... so poachers fuck off...
'lalala... on my way back. opps. lost my hotel card.'
went to tour around the night market. oso helped mum to buy some chinese dried food. hahaha. ehwait. i tried my best to talk to the lady in canto, which i successfully did. i got the right good except mum wanted the smaller versions and that the quantity is too little. hahaha.. so i guess i've gotta work on my numbers in canto.
shopping paradise indeed. bought lots of stuffs! hahaha. so i tell myself, back in singapore cannot get anything already! (: ohwait.. except for my long-awaited, still not found shoes yet! though mum told me novena there got one pair not bad, so i shall go check it out! hahaha!
hahahaha! took these pictures before the sales person told me these pictures cannot be photographed. i like the ronaldo one! though i saw better posters as i walked around the shop. grrr... if only i had pose wif these posters luh!
yeah.. chose the public taxi over any limousine or bus. hahaha! it's heading home time. back to where reality resume. wif school just 1 month away now. homework more than 1 month worth of stuffs to be completed. ankle socks for me have to be cut at the front so that i can pull it up higher! hmm... alright guess this was a pretty good trip. and of cos good things usually come to an end! (:
man here's the.. (star...) 9:57 PM
