5 January, 2016
And I have decided to revive my blog again... HAHA. I guess, I just wanna keep such memories somewhere, and other than just having pictures, its words that I can read again in the future..
I wanted to continue from where I left off, for my TW trip last year, but then... that happened in May 2015... So long ago, i dont know if i can still remember exactly. And after that, I actually went to BKK in July with my sis and SIL, then over the Jubilee holiday, went into JB for container stay with my family + Joelynn and Em. And then batam trip with Jlynn, Gary, Ash & Zy. And a "holiday" in SG as Cherry came back to find meeee! Then end of year countdown trip to KL with some of the youth leaders- Em, Joe, Jas, Gw, Xy & Paul. So actually, 2015 was really quite fruitful for me, and I am thankful for the chance to flyyy ~
Its 2016 now, and I started the year by flying to Hong Kong to be reunited with Cherry!!! It was pretty impromptu and spontaneous, but I was super excited! Maybe a little bit more as I've never been to HK before, and it was going to be my first time taking a plane by myself!
Once I touched down at HK's airport, I had to put on this furry jacket (that i like sooo much from Uniqlo, and it was a Christmas present!), as I could feel the drop in temperature!
And since I had to wait awhile for C, I went to walk around their '7-11' and was amusing myself with the items sold.. And, I had to learn how to speak a bit of canto, and to constantly remind myself that "I cannot speak Chinese to them, but only English". :p
And soooooo, I was finally reunited with C!!! Though I just saw her in SG in Dec 2015, when she came back to visit us and stayed at my place... haha. so this time, it was her turn to host me around :P It was like 6am+ so pardon us for our sleepy faces. :P Thank God her house was pretty near to the airport and it was fast because of the direct airport train line that goes to her house station. And her home was sooooo nice! It was so cozy and the view from her living room was just W-O-W (see the pic above)
Because I didn't get to sleep much in the plane, we went back and took a 2 hours nap. HK was experiencing semi-winter, and I was so amazed by how, she did not need to turn on her airconditioner, and all she needed was to leave the windows slightly open, and then... it felt like there was airconditioner already. The floors were all so cold too, that we had to wear bedroom slippers! I loovveeee such weather!!!!! (and you can bet that I had such good sleep throughout my stay)
After we woke up, we went down to the shopping mall and she brought me to this restaurant for our breakfast. HK food, so yummmyyyy!!!!
And ofcos, I had to try the real Hui Lau Shan in HK right? :P
I only first tried it in JB as there is an outlet at City Square, and yeap, it was so niceeee. Love the mangoes!!!!
The best host and tour guide has to be the local, and I am so happy that C was the one that brought me all over HK, to eat all that is nice etc!
And after our breakfast, we headed over to Australian Dairy Co.
My goooodnesss, I died there. The hot milk pudding, was the BOMB. I enjoyed and loved it so much, C kept laughing. (blogging about this, I so wish i can teleport right there and have it :(((()
But anyway, the macaroni, the sandwich, the eggs... it was all too yummy, too good to be true.
I need to go back to HK to eat them again. :(
So I asked C, "where's that place in HK where there's alot of signboards, alot of light and light pollution place?" (unknown to me that I was right there)
And she said "its here!!!!!" So, hello Mong Kok- a place to eat a looooot and to shop! :p
Always trust a local's taste. Trust their opinions. And I am glad I did (either i had no choice or whatever... HAHAHA kidding C, i love you).
So, she recommended me to drink this coconut milkshake, from this store - 椰汁大王 King of Coconut. She said its good and that I should give it a try. And so i did..... and I died a second time. (i died many times in this trip)
It was so fresh? It was so yummy, so tasty... (I wish i can drink it now too)
Oh yeah, and we went shopping and hurhur, #onlyashopaholicoverseas revealed herself and came forth, and took over my life.:p
It was at this mall, that reminded me of Far East Plaza in SG. haha! It was pretty cheap tooo!!!
And we ended off our night by stopping by the harbour, and just enjoying the beautiful skyline. But after this "romantic" walk by the waters, we went to this hotel to meet her parents for a buffet dinner. I am so blessed and so loved, because her parents were celebrating their wedding anniversary, and they so kindly and generously invited me to join them! And what else to say, but day one of my HK trip was sooooo good!
