Hong Kong 16 - 19 May 07

买东西吃东西, 买东西吃东西 fan lei le! Really shopped till we dropped. We had a tight schedule but still managed to visit and comb many many places - Started with Central (where we bunked over YX's place @ mid-SoHo with the super long escalator), then Mongkok, Yau Ma Tei, Ladies St, Temple St, Tung Chung, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway bay, Wan Chai... Everyday we are shopping, shopping and shopping; Walking, walking and walking. Never climbed so many steps and slopes in my life! Seems like we ran quite a bit too.. Sprinted to C17 @ T1 when Xin saw in horror that it flashed 'Gate Closed' on the screen when its still 10mins away from boarding time (I tell you, this is no small feat as it was right at the end of the wing!) on the day we went..And then AGAIN on the day we left, when we ran all the way down to Gate 12 at the HK airport coz we remembered the wrong time haha! Think our calves are now toner...

It's amazing how everywhere can be linked by long long long underpasses and their MTR. Took the peak tram and then visited Madame Trussard. Pretty fascinating but not all the wax figures look like the real persons though..Andy Lau and a few others were also missing. Nonetheless, we took a lot of silly photos alongside these stars haha..

The view at Victoria Harbour was absolutely breathtaking... we were there to watch the famed 'A Symphony of Lights'. It wasn't that wow-inducing though... then we had a very 狼狈 and unforgettable dinner at this posh chinese restaurant.. we'd went in thinking that they still served dim sum.. in the end they weren't and we ordered and shared a stingy but expensive fried rice and roast goose drumstick coz we were 不干愿 to spend that kind of money haha..

Speaking of food, we tasted their wonton mee, the famous 臭豆腐 (other than smelling like 'long gao' water, it was juz like any other deep fried toufu to me), had tong shui @ 糖朝, had 公仔面, 鱼蛋, revived the mango-ness of 许留山, etc...oh we went to Hei Hei Club @ Lan Kwai Fong on the 1st nite... bartenders very cute heh... in fact I think HK guys are quite droolsome, especially those in suits...quite tall too. Place is not bad... crowd only started to come in after 12+am.. drinks were not bad too, as in more concentrated. The whole street wasn't that happening though..maybe coz it was Wednesday or we'd missed the crowd.

Bought quite a lot of stuff but i seemed to have spent more on souveniers on others than myself... Promised myself to buy more for myself instead on the future trips. Overall, it was a great trip... tiring but a wonderful experience. Am considering making it a yearly trip =p

Time to roll the credits! Big Hugs for...

• Jean for helping us buy the tickets for Sammi's concert.. Cya soon in Sg!
• YX for letting us refuge in your place and for your warm hospitality.

Last but definitely the most important credit, THANK YOU my dearest Xin, for organising the whole trip, planning the whole itinerary so meticulously and for everything else. Big Big Hugs! =)
