Day 3 - Shopppping dayyyy!








had our brunch and headed to mongkok to shopppp! =D shopped for near 5 hrs before we headed to somewhere near our hotel for their yummy steamed egg =D

*slurp



Next stop - Victoria Peak



took a ferry to hongkong island and our adventure begins again! we were making our way to victoria peak and the map on hand told me that a 10mins walk woudl bring me to the lower ground terminal where we could then take the tram up to the peak. but....is either we seriously had no sense of direction or the map is just simply flawed. WE COULDNT FIND OUR WAY THERE!



thank goodness we bumped into this girl who happened to be waiting for a shuttle bus that would pass by the peak. so we gladly followed her up the bus =))



the girl told us to alight here (the picture above), some niao bu sheng dan de di fang with no one around =x apparently she says we could walk up the peak but its pretty impossible actually.




ryl was so amazed with the houses. haha! its funny that we werent even afraid of being stranded somewhere. we were still camwhoring along the way. bumped into 2 ah pehs who gave us directions up the peak which we followed but decided to hop on a cab up the peak. if not, by the time we walked up the peak, it would have been the next day already...

reached the peak and went to madam tussauds wax museum. took countless photos there but it is impossible for me to upload all onto my blog so i just picked a couple of them.







mozart




tiger woods




william shakespeare! reminds me of twelfth night - "if music be the food of love, play on..."





don't need me to say, you probably know who this is


view from the peak

had our dinner at the peak, a place that my sis recommended..



"where's my fooood?!"








ended our dinner at 11pm and back to hotel way past midnight again! hahaha!

DAY 2 =D

our breakfast for the day!





Next stop - ocean park

it was damn funny. we wanted to try something mild for a start but found ourselves on this roller coaster that scare us like dunno what. but yea, it was fun =D didnt manage to capture the eagles that were CIRCLING above the coaster.




the ride that goes 360 degree...(ps: bendi! thats the one i told u)










this indian guy helped us to take this photo and he went 'OK! VERY PRETTY!' then he left. when we looked at the photo...THIS IS WHAT WE GOT =x oh, ryl's friend came to join us at ocean park which explains for an additional person in this photo.


the river rapid ride.


i wanted to try this!! but no one wanted to try it with me! =(




NEXT STOP - DINNER
i swear we took damn long to find this place! apparently they have very good review on their cheese noodles but this shop is located at such a niao bu shen dan de di fang we were walking round the streets searching for it. ended up, we found this shop inside this rundown building. but yea, GOOD JOB finding this shop! *pat on our shoulders


but yea, the cheese noodles tasted good! =D i love cheese! so thats a perfect dinner for me =) i could well cook this on my own eh. i suppose i could just boil maggi mee and melt the cheese over it.

we had to take a photo after searching high n low for it!

next stop - shopping at granville street!
shopped till 11pm+ before we finally decided to take the mtr back to our hotel. its a pretty nice place to shop because the whole stretch of street just sells clothes. haha!


this waffle-taste-alike thing =) meant to be our supper but ended up as our breakfast for the next day. haha!

back to our hotel way past midnight. no worries we didnt get lost this time! masked and slp!

NEXT STOP - CABLE CAR

NEXT STOP - DINNER AT MONGKOK

met up with ryl's friend for dinner and ryl's craving for salmon explains for this




ryl and her friend karen, who actually treated us the dinner!

NEXT STOP - DESSERT =D
karen brought us to a nice place for dessert!
yummmmy! the hongkonger calls this 'xin tai ruan' while i suppose we call it some molten chocolate cake or some sort.



and you know what! we actually got lost because we couldnt find our way back to our hotel after we exited the mtr station =x it was night time so all the shops were closed and we couldnt find any specific landmark. actually we had map with us. BUT SOMEHOW WE JUST COULDNT GET THE DIRECTION RIGHT =X hahahha! we walked for like i think 30minutes before we finally got back to our hotel! it was like past midnight by then =x haha! but oh well, at least we figured it out on our own =) good job!
