So.... I shall just jump start! HEH.
ps: Broken up entries in Livejournal | Another perspective (More pictures!)
DAY 1: Arrival + Summarized Overall
You know you're in Hong Kong when you keep hearing conversations in Cantonese,
when you see most signboards with both Chinese and English directory, products tagged with really high prices but in HKD, milktea in almost every eatery menu you get,
and especially, when you experience the awesome cooling weather with occasional cold cold winds!
But then again, it didn't exactly felt like we're in Hong Kong (for me), because it's so very similar to the small dot here!
Anyways! I had an incredibly awesome time with the great companion back in Hong Kong! I had so much fun — it's far moreeeeee fantastic than any fun-describing words or any other positive word you can think of! :p
It was a wonderful 6 days 5 nights with Gary, Lim Guan, Xiuqing, Emily, Rachel and Fredrick. Weather was rather cold and foggy, but it was perfect because no rain disrupted any of our plans!! :D Definitely had a fun, tiring, walk-a-lot, shopping and sightseeing experience with them... ^^ (Got to see more sides of them too!)
Can't remember our activities lineup in great details or perfect order, but the main thing we did was shop, Disneyland-ed, SHOPPEDDD, sightseeing and more shopping!!!!! :D
Departed for Hong Kong a day straight after our Exam, on my birthday, with my worried(?) parents and the really really sweet usuals sending us off!!!!! ^^
Excitedly checked in, toilet-visited, then, got notified that our gate was announcing last call when it wasn't even opened when we ran like mad to rush in! T.T
Happily checked our seats before comfortably settling ourselves
Reached Hong Kong late, searched for our transport to hotel and arrived at our small cozy 5 nights crib! Shared room with Guan and Xiuqing, our room is probably the most expensive one because they both drank a 10HKD water, broke a glass (Xiuqing was half asleep still... lol!) and lost the safe key (my careless bad)!!! Zzz
Okay, okay, I'm gonna spare you the agony of reading my descriptive naggy Hong Kong trip experience in details... Shall share our photo spam as I continue to ranttt! ^^
ps: Only pictures from Gary's + my camera and do another expansion entry when I get everyone's pictures! ^^
Departure from SG, Arrival at HK.
^^
The twenties~
&The ugly teens. :p
ps: Thank you for sending us off! :D
Happy mama.
♥
When we checked in and headed to the toilet...
Pardon my cui face. =x
Before we rushed like mad to the next point. -,-
Excitedly going in !
Texting and tweeting goodbyes~
The other side~
I sat with Gary and Guan while Fredrick was the soloist!
Awesome simple gift~
Not going to show you what it is because it'll probably just gross everyone out. Tsk tsk. :p
ps: GOMA!
^^ Happy face.
First time travelling with my new passport holder thanks to Xiuqing!
Flight delayed for a wholeeee hour and a half!!! T^T
FINALLY~~~
Up up and awayyyyyyy!
Pretty sky. keke.
By the time I woke up. x.x
WHEN WE ARRIVED~~~
A whole new world~ (for 6 days. xD)
ps: Guan was in the toilet puking. :S
Everyone excited and taking snapshots !
FREE WIFI AIRPORT WIDE!!!!!!!
Only 7 of us in the bus that drove us to our hotel! YAY!
Seriously, one glance and you can finish looking at the hotel room.
It's THAT small.
Settled down a little while in the room before we head out for our supper!
Night life around our hotel~
It was around... 11PM when we headed out.
GONG CHA SPOTTED!!!!!!!!! Lol.
I didn't buy any for the span of 6 days there. But I tried it, taste almost identical as those being sold in Singapore. :)))
&They've only a cup size with no sugar level options.
Street food.
Walking back to the nearby 7-Eleven to get our necessities~
He looks like he lost his arms and legs. xD
Fredrick with his warm chrysanthemum tea.
Discussing about our itineraries for the next two days or so~
&OH YA! These wonderful people also gave me a mini birthday surprise with breadcake...! ^^
THERE! Concludes our first night and the start of our wonderful trip~~~ ♥
DAY 2: Disneyland + Outlet Shopping
Despite sleeping rather late the first night, most of us made it to meet up at 8AM the next day. We excitedly searched for a breakfast eaterny, had a really good breakfast - their 菠萝包 is freaking awesome! Thank goodness I haven't tried any in Singapore yet. xS And then, we proceeded to a rather complicated train ride, changing from this station to another station quite a number of times before we reached Disneyland Resort station!!!
And then, the fun and fantasy begins~~
Seriously, you don't have to be a child to enjoy being in Disneyland! But of course, you'll have to lower your mentality a little to fully enjoy the visit. For all 7 of us, we definitely enjoyed our visit. HEHE. We've also spent a lot in the souvenir shop! For me, it's the place I spent the most in the 6 days vacation... :O
Water you can't drink. Rachel says it's used to wash your utensils?
Guan drank a little of it the first thing she saw the cups. LOL.
Checking our the menu~
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
Wanted to taste the last of it before we depart for Singapore...
BUT I DIDN'T!!!! T^T And I only ate it once. Sobs!
The warm milktea needs manual addition of sugar, but still, they taste awesome!
Really different from those you drink in the small dot.
More fragrant! :D
Satisfied faces~
And, I only had that 菠萝包 for the entire day before our next meal. =x
(and that milktea)
Cooling day~
The guys went in to get some bread just in case hunger strikes in the middle of the day~
Their ez-link card!
We didn't go get our deposit.. T,T
Similar to the ones in Singapore? :)
Sat down for a stop only... LOL.
Guan looking not exactly excited. xD Lol.
YAY YAY YAY!!!
From the very first step to the train, we're being transported to a fantasy world!
Even the reports about the next station was magical-fied~~~ Lol.
When we travel backwards, they added really funny descriptions to the next station.. Like "modern world, HongKong~" and stuff. LOL.
Main focus not on Fredrick, please~~~
It's the really cute thing...
ps: I forgot what it's called. xS
Even the windows were Mickey-fied! So coolz~
Pretty, right?
Rachel and the floating Mickey!
Ticketing booth!!!
So cute right?? Even the tickets are Disney-fied.
ps: Pardon my fied-ing~ I just find everything so cute and Disney-fied!!! Lol.
I got tinkerbell !!!
Come to think of it, I'm not even a fan of hers. =x I've never watched "Peter Pan" before either. xS Lol.
Everyone else and their shot with their admission tickets.
The welcoming castle is the first thing that greeted us! Wooooooooo~~~
TOTALLY!!!! ^^
It's really like a different world... <3
Because he made me take a few more shots of this...! Zz
The start of a jumpshot~~~
Coolz? :D
One anyhow and a ballerina~~ LOL
YOU WILL NOT GET WET.
What a tease that signboard is~ LOL.
Excited faces!
Thinking we really might get wet. T.T
No idea what's wrong with Fredrick. LOL.
And the journey begins~~~
Interested in the boat ride?
GO HONG KONG DISNEYLAND THEN!!! :p
ps: Too many pictures to upload la~~~ HEHE.

LMAO. My damn fail in jumpshots.
I've got no idea why I suddenly lose the skill to take a proper jumpshot. -,-
I mean, I was kindda a pro in it back last year in 苏州 lo! Tskkkk. </3

REALLY COOL 3D SHOW!
Seriously, that's what I call 3D. -,-

Wanna watch it? GO HONG KONG DISNEYLAND.
hehehe. :p
I know what you're gonna tease and say~
Mushrooms taking pictures with mushrooms... TSK!
KEKEKE.
I chose the shortest one because I was afraid I couldn't get up the horse... LOL.
When it started going round and round.
Looked like it was fast... but.... no thrill~ Lol.
Next stop!
Nice shot right?!
Unlike this... Tskkkk.
:p
uhmmm. A kindda boring ride...
Check our everyone taking pictures instead of enjoying the ride. LOL.
Next up, for the dumbo girls. xD
ps: I didn't sit it. Keke.
Excited little girls almost running to their seats!
The only time you can feel like you're flying~
hehe.
So cute right???
Mickey and Minnie kissing while Pooh being a shy~~~ hehe.
Running away to their booths for photo shooting! ^^
I had an awesome time teasing how all the people inside these masks keeps a poker face while posing with us and playing around with each other. LOL. Try doing a friendly pose with a pokerface. Seriously.
It's Mickey, y0z!
Next up, the manly gay Pooh! =x
He posed a manly pose when asked his gender, and Gary says it's Gay! :\
Looks so nice to cuddle with!! <3
Goofy Goofy Goofy!!!
Freaking tall! LOL.
The magical tea cups!
Guan got so dizzy, she kindda felt like puking... Xiuqing and Fredrick was turning the cup too much.. LOL. They didn't even hear her ask for them to stop. tsk tsk. And she really puked a little after some interested dark roller coaster ride we rode...
It's a small small world and Gary has a big big head. xP
Nothing much, just a very cute round around the small small world with them singing the "Small Small World" song in MANY languages in small small children voices... Really cute though. I really like how they made such a simple idea become something kindda big..
The ride was about... 20 minutes? Really interesting with all the different countries and cultural wears for each of the dolls.
Really enjoyed the simple collaboration.
THE VERY VERY INTERESTING RIDE!!!
Gary told us it's not comparable and thrilled as Panasonic in Singapore.
WHAT A LIE!!! Lol.
It's way way way wayyyyyyyyyyyy better and damn damn thrilling than that in Singapore! Tskkk.
There were many turns I thought could be going down instead! But still, we had an awesome time screaming and feeling the adrenalin rush. =x
After this ride, Guan puked a little. :S

DAMN DELICIOUS HUGE TURKEY DRUMSTICK!!!
This very interesting that got some of my friends go broke!
tadahhh! I got three of them~~~ :D
My friends who were crazy got more than 10!! And, they cost 10HKD. Zz
Interesting award show~~~
Last ride for the day~~~
Yes, I was the only one who stood on the steps to look higher. Tsk~
It looks pretty even at night!!!
End of our magical visit~~~ :D
Back to the modern Hong Kong~
And the first thing we rushed to, was to have dinner!
We visited the very first restaurant that caught our eyes...
Still, there were NOOOOOOO regrets!!!
The carbonara was fantastic!
We sat outside the restaurant, in the open area, to have our dinner.
It was a serious BAD CHOICE!! We end up feeling rather freezing from all the cold cold wind blows and our food literally turn cold with a few minutes of lifting them off the plate!!!
Still, it was a really really delicious dinner!
After dinner, we headed to the mall for a little shopping! :D
Oh ya, if you're wondering why there isn't any talk about fireworks or pictures of fireworks taken in Disneyland, it's because we gave it a miss for shopping. Hopefully, it's not a bad idea. :\

And guess what??? I freaking found that damn dumb key second day being back to Singapore. T.T The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it slide off the luggage compartment with my camera battery charger was _|_. Felt superrrr stupid and wondered how the freaking hell did it fall into the luggage when my jeans was no where near it?! Best thing? Guan and I had our equal chances to see upon it as we were opening it almost every night to take out charger and we never once saw it. =,= Super dumb and blind of me. Seriously.
Maybe, I'm just fated not to find it there so I could waste and spend that money on getting a safe key as a souvenir from the hotel. -,- UGH.
Oh ya I forgot again!!!!
This night was also one of the best night as Emily joined us with Gary and Rachel being "dead" because they were so tired and tummy sick! Wait, it's best not because two were down with tummy problems. It was a good night because Emily joined us and we had a really really funny encounter!
Because we are noob, we keep calling the Housekeeping personnel when we wanted to actually ring our friends/McDelivery! It first happened when Guan wanted to try calling Emily.
Because you're usually suppose to first key this number of calling another room, we couldn't find the number initially and kept dialing to the housekeeping. LOL. First, Guan went "Sorry wrong number." Before I dialed and hung up twice on that person. LOL!
When we finally got it and Emily was together with us, we figured we should get something for supper! But room service ended about 2 hours before! Tskkk. So, we end up calling McDelivery! Heheh. This was a funnier encounter. We got the number for McDelivery from the reception. Xiuqing tried to call out but forgot to first enter the indication number. End up, she called housekeeping and spent about 20 minutes trying to explain our order!!! It was super funny when we later realise it was housekeeping. Seriously!
Everyone of us literally laughed till we had tummy aches and actually started to feel even more hungry from laughing. LOL. It was uberrr cute! And also the first time I heard Xiuqing and Lim Guan laugh so loud!!! Really. Lol.
Okay, end. :p
DAY 3 & 4: Walk Till You Literally Drop!
Day 3 to Day 5 were all used for sightseeing and shopping. Went to three places for sightseeing each and leaving the night for hardcore shopping.
I literally died on the third night with me almost losing feelings on my feet. Flat foot is such a burden, how I wish I can just change legs! I practically had to hold on to Rachel for our walking journey back from the Women's Street to our hotel... Without any exaggeration, I almost teared in pain. That was how freaking bad it was. I end up giving dinner a miss, to stone for about half hour in the room before I crawl around the room to do my stuffs and finally take a bath. Seriously, no joke or exaggeration.
Oh ya! We were suppose to do major sightseeing on the third day but because Gary was down with this serious... tummy attack(?) we gave it a miss... Changed the itineraries to a little sightseeing and more shopping instead, it's because that way, Gary doesn't really need to bring us around.. But then again, thinking of it now, there seem to be no difference with the pressure or whatever... :\
Alright, picture spam time! :D
DAY 3:
Avenue of Stars & Shopping @ Women's Street
hehehe. Look at the back, the initials. =x
Purposely asked them to stand infront of it for me to take a shot. =x
Reporter interviewing a superstar!
And now a shy shy queen of all blurr queens. =x
The bear knows 2NE1 and their dance! xD
So, there was actually nothing much in the avenue of stars. Just those floor stuffs you see with the famous people's hand prints and signatures. It was really sunny that day. At the end of browsing, we headed for a rest in Starbucks before walking all the way back to take a ferry to another place. Suppose to be experiencing the topless bus to the peak tram but, we gave it a miss and went for it on the 5th day instead... So, we actually ferried down to the place just to MTR to the shopping area. xD
What was so interesting about the vending machine you say?
It sold smoker stuffs!
While they were busy looking at the vending machine~~~
SPOTTED MY FRIENDS!!!! Lol.
Only to find out Rachel was one of them too!
(There was a panda named after her, what a misfortune. :P Lol)
Ferried to this place~~~
THE BOAT WAS FREAKING FREAKING SHAKY!
The place we were suppose to take the topless bus~ :((((
Tea Break before shopping!
And so after that, we shopped around that area before MTR-ing down to Women's Street for more shopping. I didn't buy much, only bought a bag. Kekeke. IF I'm not wrong, that is. xD As the days go by, it gets a little bit harder to wake up each time. :S Lol.
DAY 4:
Took the crystal cable car up to a really high place to climb a long long flight of steps to reach the big buddha. It was a really interesting experience being in a bottom crystal cable car... :) Nothing much happened today either, so let's let the pictures do the verbal diarrhea!
It gets colder each day. It was so cold on the 4th day, we had to purchase heat packs to warm our hands!
Are you afraid of heights???
hehe. Super cute, Guan was kindda(?) shaken by the height and the fact that we could see the bottom. xD
FREAKING HIGHHHH!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! xD
There were people walking the long long steep journey. Madness!
Nice shot, I took it. xD
When we finally reach the top and the end of the cable car experience!
Make a wish!
Made a wish~ :p
hehehe. I wish my wishes could come true! <3
CRAZY RIGHT????
xD
Panting like crazy at first but the scenery was breath taking!
THEIR CORN IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Lol.
Rachel look uber cute in this picture that's why I blogged this. xD
Likeah small happy kid. Lol.
LOL. All of them slightly dead from the long day~
Afterwhich, we continue the night shopping.. :D
Thank goodness I didn't die that day. Prolly got used to the pain already. xD
That's all for Day 3 and Day 4.
DAY 5 & Departure: EGGTART EGGTART, byeeeeeeeee. T^T
How time flies... It felt like we only arrived in Hong Kong when we were already departing to come back to the small dot. Good times always ticks off faster than any other times, yes?
Anyways, the last few days were as good as the start of the entire trip. Though we were slowly getting more and more restless and tired with the lack of sleep and accumulated tiredness from the day before, we still had energy to finish up the entire vacation giving our graduation trip a sweet wrap up! :D
Visited Madame Tussands, the wax museum, to see many many famous people on the 5th day. Rode the tram to the peak of Hong Kong and spent a while admiring the breath taking scenery. Headed down for late lunch after we ate this FANTASTIC eggtart!!! ^^ And then back to Women's street for more shopping. :D
DAY 5: The Peak! Wax Museum & THE BEST EGG TART!
Learning her pose... and....
Copying her ! Lol.
My new bestfriend! :x
Damn interesting.
LOL.
O,O
:D
LOL !!!
Went in, had a good time screaming and laughing. -,- LOL.
Damn freaking tall please~
HAHHAHA. SO CUTE!
UP UP AND AWAY!!!
The Peak was super super duper duper windy!!
LIKE REALLY REALLY.
See what I mean?! LOL.
Put your head out and you'll feel VRROMMMMMMMMMM!
Like this shot. :)
Are we crazy???
We ate ice cream in that freezing cold weather!!! LOL.
Yes, we all are. xD
Doesn't melt easily lehhh~ :D
Everyone end up saying she's begging to taste for Emily's Ice Cream or something. HAHA.
Going back down!
So freaking steep lo !!!
Walked a long way to the eggtart place~
tadahhhh! IT WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
If I can, I would buy a dozen back!
That's all for our 5th day in Hong Kong... :(
&I'm ending that section with this picture because I find this very cute. HEHE.
Like small kid only ahhh~~~ :p
DAY 6:
DEPARTURE!! :'(
Nothing much this day. Breakfast, shopped and back home.. :) But one thing for sure, most of us had a really difficult time waking up. =x
And, please don't ask me what's wrong with Fredrick in the above picture, I know he looks sick. LOL!
Went there with pretty empty luggage each and went back with all these. A LOT.
GOODBYE ALL!!! :D
ps: Can't wait for Bintan trip that starts tomorrow! :D
