hong kong day 3

early in the morning, went with leow to walk around our hotel, searching for breakfast. actually it din take us that long to walk, because there are a few eateries within 100 m radius of our hotel.

so here's wat we bought:


fried noodles, rice dumpling, you tiao wrapped with chee cheong fun, you tiao, century egg pork porridge, and a cup of soya bean milk. everything at a cost of 45 hk dollars, which is 9 sing dollars! so cheap!

finished our morale-high breakfast, the first place that we went to is wong tai sin temple. at this point of time, i will like to mention that both my friends are very religious pple. throughout the 7 days in hk, apart from the first day and last day, everyday we sure will go to a temple and burn joss-sticks and pray. but its good lah, pray that our families in sg are safe and healthy, and we will be safe and healthy in hk too, but pray so much also no use, in the end i kenna food poisoning, but i must admit that i din burn that many joss-sticks compared to them, or pray as much.






after praying, the next place that we went to is hk's famous ocean park! everytime see ocean park in hk drama serials, finally i am touring ocean park myself. this kind of feeling is really indescribable. and on our way there, i met my reservist friend. the world is really super small.



ocean park is like zoo + bird park + amusement park + underwater world, all combined into one. very happening place. so happening that there are also alot of tourists from the land of contaminated milk. haha.








final place of the day is the peak. the peak is like a mountain top, and you can go up there to admire the breath-taking scenery of hk city landscape. there are also atas shopping centres at the peak, and most importantly, there's mdm tussaud museum, which houses wax figurines of celebrities, sports stars, political figures, national icons, etc etc.

there are a few ways to go to the peak. the first way is to take bus all the way there. but the most traditional and conventional method is to take the peak tram. but pls beware of the HUGE crowd. sian. i hate going to overcrowded places. that's why i am beginning to hate sg now. especially the mrt during rush hour.

scenery at the peak:





countless pictures at mdm tussaud:















actually there are many more wax figurines in the musuem, just that these figurines got so many pple crowding around them, and even have to queue up to take pics with these figurines, which is such a turn off. some of the hottest figurines are johnny depp, david beckham, brad pitt, angelina jolie.

i really love mdm tussaud. seeing these wax figurines make me really thrilled. some are really like the real person. but most of the figurines dun look like. haha.

all rite that wraps up day 3!
