i noe its a bit gross, but at least i verbally describe, better than taking pics of the three different forms, yes?
ok now i am blogging on my sis's macbook, hope that it wun be a chore.
on the first day of our trip, which is 3rd dec, our flight to hk is at 130 pm, but we wanted to check in earlier cos our flight is at T3, and we want to go inside T3 transit area to walk around. i arrived at T3 at about 10 am to meet darling and spend some time alone with her for a while, cos i will not be seeing her until one week later.
before i embark on the trip proper, let me introduce my travel buddies:
on the left: mr leow chee leong, a lab technician working in lai fo shi institution. kind guy with a heart of gold, a bit timid, and can be a bit po ma. got to know him when we were fellow instructors in school of armour during our army days.
on the right: mr mak hong sen, a computer engineer working in some well known company. very street smart guy, and he is the recee king throughout this whole trip. we can always count on him to bring us to the right place. look shy and reserved, but he is not shy in front of the camera, quite a camera whore. haha. we were also fellow instructors in school of armour.
on our way to the plane:
the view of the clouds from our window seat:
the meals on the plane:
international dish: roast chicken with dunno wat sauce, and fried potatoes
oriental dish: stir-fried pork with fried ricewhen we reach hk, its already sunset.
and when we check in our hotel, the sky is already dark. at hk, the sky turn dark at around 6 pm. very very fast. we stayed at metropark mongkok hotel. its a two-star hotel, and the location is very good. its 3 min walk from prince mtr station, and 5 min walk from the happening shopping district of mongkok. nearby the hotel got nice eateries, convenience shops and pharmacies.
once we put down our belongings in the hotel room, we took our virgin hk mtr ride to tsim sha shui. we went to the avenue of stars. its called avenue of stars, because on the floor got handprints of many famous celebrities. at avenue of stars, you can also see the beautiful city landscape of hk, and every night from 8 to 820 pm, there will be a laser show performance called 'symphony of lights'.
as we were walking around, i saw from far a group of loud teenagers. they were taking photographs happily, and speaking singaporean flavoured english. i walked closer to them, and to my utmost joy, they were my students! when they saw me, they also screamed. not with fright, but with joy. hahaha.
wanted to take a big grp photo but dunno why they so shy. in the end only this 3 take with me. the two girls are from my form class. the cute little boy is from one of my chemistry classes.
and i saw my colleagues! we were thrilled to see one another. actually before that we already planned to yum cha the next morning. but we actually met one another earlier than expected. :)
after bidding my colleagues and students goodbye at avenue of stars, we went to the hk space museum. on wednesdays all the hk museums' admission is free.
we only spent like ten min there, cos we reached at 850, and the closing time is 9 pm.
and then we walked all the way from hk space museum back to our hotel. -.-'''
not because we got no money to take mtr, but we want to see the happening night life of hk. we walked through temple street night market and mongkok. hk is really very vibrant and happening.
we finally reached our hotel one hour later. we were shagged like hell. haha.
