The sun is as big as Singapore but its so windy and nice. I had to wear a jacket and still feeling cold. But I guess the weather is getting warm because on our last day, I don't need a jacket though I'm wearing T-shirt and short skirt. Rather unpredicted weather. I remember the time when I got out of the airport in Singapore, I began sweating. Maybe I just have too much fats that's why I feel so warm.
19 April 2007
Wake up at 7.30am despite sleeping at 1am the day before. Dar's dad drove us to the airport and drop us there. Check-in and went for breakfast at Burger King. My croissant breakfast...
After that, headed to the gate to board the plane. Cathay Pacific...
Look at the cloud... Isn't it wonderful? It really brightens up my day to Hong Kong!
The Hong Kong Airport. Their languages are chinese and english. Didn't take much pics.
Look at the pic below, Disney family...
You can never find speed limit of 110 in Singapore.
Can you see the sign? Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. I hugz the place because...
Our dinner was at central and we went to those tea restaurant and the people simply speak in cantonese and nothing else. I got a feeling of being in a place full of chinese but I don't belong to Chinese. I really don't know how to describe the feeling. Though I know a little bit of cantonese but I'm really lousy at it. Anyway, the dinner was shrimp and wanton kway teow soup. Yummy... I look so sickly in the pics during my trip because I just recover from flu. I drank ice yuen yang (coffee+tea) everyday throughout my 4 days of stay.
The train system is really nice. The lights will light up to let you know the next stop and if it is a interchage (change to another line), it will light up where it will be heading. The instructions are so damn clear! They will also light up if this is the side the door is opening or opposite side. Isn't that nice? But seriously, the train is expensive compare to Singapore and not to say, Bangkok.
The train is super long, longer than Singapore's MRT. I'm standing in the centre of the whole long train and the pic turn out to be endless road.
The view of the entrance to Temple Street. It really do look like a traditional chinese street and the things there are just like our night market (pasar malam? Is it spelt correctly?)
There are many mahjong dens at Temple Street. It is LEGAL to play in such places and you can hear people 'washing' the tiles. But I really don't have the guts to enter the place and take a pic.
The spicy 鱼蛋 (fish egg) which is actually fishball but slightly of different taste as Singapore. It is not as bouncy but there is this particular stall at Temple Street sells nice fish eggs. I bought at other places and it sucks. I went back again on 3rd night to eat the fish eggs at Temple Street since it is just a few streets away from my hotel.
We headed back to Jordon Road and went to a tea house for a drink. After which we went back hotel to bathe and went out for supper again near our hotel. I had a hot almond milk drink and Dar drank hot yuen yang. We are so kuku because we have to add sugar ourselves if it is a hot drink. Dar ate wanton noodle and the noodle is so yummy. Seriously, I love Hong Kong's wanton because the shrimp or rather big prawns are so damn fresh and big. Their noodle soup base are fantastic.
