Hong Kong 160508 - 200508

finally had the time to upload the pictures. i painstakingly upload all these pic loh















i always like to take picture of the monitor while collecting our baggage.















a tour bus came to fetch us after we've collected all our barang barang and stuffs. tthis scene looks like some hk drama.. hahah. like duh!i'm in hk nei~


after checking in to our hotel, we went outside for some walk.





















sis, me and mum. heard that portland street is red light district in hk? but doesn't look like lei.. can't be bah..




















sis and i at mongkok police station.

dad said that it's very cool to take with the police station since it always appear in hk drama. and we encircle the entire building before finding the main entrance -_-"

the next morning we had half day tour. had dim sum as breakfast. hm.. the food hai hao nia.. and not very filling. tour guide out to cheat our money loh. quite ex somemore. tsk!















After that we went to stanley bay(浅水湾)for some sightseeing.























sis, me and mum.















me and 月老





























this's in hongkong island. the tour guide told us that when AIA set their Asia headquarter in Hong Kong, they found this venue.. but then.. this building is situated next to a cemetrey. as hongkongers are quite superstitious, they hired a feng shui master and they were told to have a coffin-shaped window so as to counteract the aura of cemetry. hahah. click on the pic for better view!

the tour guide quite funny and knowledgable. he told us alot of 八卦新闻. hongkongers really very gossipy loo. hahaha!













went to take sampang at donknow where. here's a big jumbo. tour guide said that hongkongers don't like to eat jumbo, normally is foreigners who frequent the restaurant. i was quite shocked to hear that lah, coz jumbo is my favourite restaurant nei~ but later on i realised that jumbo doesn't suit their taste. read on~


ate lunch at Tsim Sha Tsui. went hotel to take the Bangawan Solo stuffs for Mr Sung.

* Mr Sung is my dad's client, and i met him last year too~

Met them at Central.

Walked to the pier to wait for ferry to lamma island.


















them waiting.
















the youngsters.




US!























me on the ferry.


As it was still quite early, we went to this floating fish farm near lamma island. the place damn educational lah.
















me at Lamma Fisherfolks' Bazaar















i love this shot alot. very candid and nice! guess wad we'r fascinating over?















it's a fish egg! but i don know what fish.. the shell is like the embryo or wadever u called that. then inside can really see the small little thingy moving!

they said if we hole it for 10 mins, the fish will come out. no loh, i waited for 20 mins and nothing happened! in the end i threw it back to where i got it from! hahaa.















the gender of the fishes can be differentiated from the colour of their rim or wadever u called that. very interesting looking fish..





down: very ugly looking fish but interesting!




















and then we went to the fishing junk.

the boat showed how last time de ppl lived..

Down: tt's the masterbed room. they got some names for every room, but i can't rmb already. and their rooms are damn small lo. and hard.


































heh heh. on the deck. i love both pictures!
















we had a very interesting way of fishing. it's hookless fishing!!! a small fish is tied to the string..and then we'll lure to bigger fish to eat the smaller fish. aiya. it's fishing lah. jus without hook. full stop.

the fisherfolk's bazaar is indeed educational.

went back to lamma island.















me and i-forgot-her-name.opps. ah kay or smth, she has a twin sister called ah ling.

as the sun set, we headed to 彩虹restaurent for dinner.

Down: look at the array of seafood they had! gosh.


















i had my very first taste of white wine. not bad.


we had alot of food. fish, abalone, 虾婆,lobster and etc and.... pigeon?! wad.. pigeon?! i almost puked when i heard the duck-looking creature is pigeon! AHHHHH!






if comparing between Singapore Jumbo and this restaurant, i don realy like this restaurant.. and i don think it's that nice.. the taste is very original and authetic kind. unlike singapore jumbo.. more gravy and stuffs. so i guess tt's the difference bah.






Left: it's us again!










went back to main island.. walked for awhile before abade them goodbye. nothing happening happened.. everynight was a little night shopping nia. like 庙街 and 女人街.















the next morning (Day 3), went to 黄太山. nothing much there.. just temple loh.. and they're undergoing some construction.

after that went to The Peak and madam tussands (aka wax museum).

Down: me and some japanese. i think he's freaking real lah.




















The Peak and us at outside The Peak Tram.


















we went to Mr Sung's house at Central. wahh. hong kong house damn small lah. we talked about our country and though we found some similarities, the differences are quite shocking. for example, it's easy for them to buy car.. quite cheap.. can get it about sgd 20000, but their parking fees damn ex.. for season parking.. each month can be about sgd 800. wahhh!! and the sgd 800 is not the cdb area.. it's jus any jiapalang carpark.

and also we have cpf, and they don't. mr sung said that if hk were to have cpf, they will have riots and stuffs. he added that coz hkers don really trust the government.. haha! so interested to hear such stuffs bahh~





their kitchen
it's like the size of my house toilet. =x

after that went nearby restuarant for some cantonese cuisine. hmm. okay bah the food.. the i ate steamed pomelo skin! gosh! didn't know tt was even edible!

Day 4: went to take the cable car~ didn't take it last yr when i went there coz was under construction. that day was foggy, so can't really see the view from cablecar.
















us at ngong ping cable car





















us and our 招牌动作




















i love this pic! i took it de nei~~













Right: how on earth did the cow manage to climb up?!

















after went to disney land de entrance. hahha! didn't wanna go in coz went there before already.. so me and mum waited outside for dad and sis.

okay, for dinner we had cantonese cuisine again at 九龙塘。it's quite high class.. think it's really fine dining!! the portion very small.. but quite nice..

Down: this drink is freaking nice.. it's some chilled jasmine tea with pulps.



Left: everyone who is present for the dinner.
*those are my dad's client.

after dinner, we went to one of the guy's house.








Down: it really looks like those corridor in hk drama.

this house still alright.. coz he's living alone.. then his house quite neat and it's near the sea!! and if i'm not wrong he stayed on 32rd storey-_-"







after that we went 兜风。

left: at somewhere near the peak. it's freaking cold..coz it's raining! -_-"










had early plane to catch the next morning.. nothing much in particularly..

okay, that's the end of my hong kong trip. it's indeed very educational, compared to last year. and the trip is more like fostering better bilateral ties between companies. hahaha! i had damn gd dinner for all nights nei~
