[I have return home]

This is my journal throughout the days i spend in Hong Kong. :D I will upload pictures in a different page. I wasted 3 hours uploading pictures and cleaning up the mess. I found a better idea now. == wtf.

15/10
:1.10p/m

-I came home, bath, and ate. My chicken rice was “basi” and my kitchen was down. @@ So my mum ta pau another chicken rice for me. :D After that, we head off to the airport around 2. We waited for 1 hour for the plane to get ready. We walked around and eat. After that we got on board at 5.30p.m. The airplane is so cool! Cathay Pacific. Better than MAS I think. Yeah. We lifted off and I read my book. But I couldn’t concentrate. I keep on looking out to the sky. The ride was quite bumpy as we hit the clouds and the air pressure was low. The sky was very very blue on top. Such a nice scenery. Actually, I kept on smiling. xD I have no idea why. I just love the sky. I watch tv and ate Chicken Rice, again. @@ I watch Ice Age 3 and laugh while eating. WTF. Am I crazy or what? xD

After I watch finish, I read my book. We landed at night around 8. And it was a cool scenery at night. The lights in Hong Kong was cool. Unlike Malaysia, dull and sad. We check into the hotel, which I found out was a 5-star hotel after that. @@ Omg. Its cost 500++ ringgit per night. @@ Omg. I got a second room. I bath and eat and watch tv. After that, I sleept at 1a.m. Pretty early huh? xD

Btw, did I mention that the shower was screeching when I bath and I was alone. Pretty scary. @@ But anyhow, the bed was very very soft. And I slept, not long after that.



-History of Hong Kong-
: Hong Kong actually means “Fragrance Habour”. History had it says that Hong Kong use to have many fragrance wood, usually used to burn it for nice aroma. When merchant came to Hong Kong. The said: “Oh, what a delightful smell”. And so they name it “The Fragrance Habour” where today we called it Hong Kong.


16/10
-In the morning. We did visit the “Huang Tai Si” temple. Which is very highly respected in Hk. Many people goes there and make a wish. It’s a very big temple.

7.00a.m.
-I woke up with an alarm and morning call. Neck cramp is all I got. We had our breakfast at some dim sum shop. Its very nice. Afer that we headed to the “Element Shopping Centre”. It have all the branded goods. From Gucci, to Prada to H&M. You name it. Nothing much to buy actually. A jeans I saw costs 2000$HK! Which is 1000Ringgit Malaysia! Holy moly. Anyway, we bought many many foods.

-Kowloon History-
:Kow means 9 in Cantonese and Loon is dragon in Cantonese. History says that long time ago, the emperor ask his advisor, “What name is this place called?” The advisor said, “Why… It is called KowLoon, your highness. It is name after the mountains that contain the dragon protecting the city.” So the emperor started counting. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. “But there’s only 8 mountain. Where is the last one?” The advisor said, “Hoho, you are the ninth, your majesty.” As so we know, the emperors are all related to the dragon protecting his country as a emperor and a dragon
.

3.55p.m
-The wind is strong as we are at the Hk Island right now. The Golden Bauhinia Square, where stood the big golden platted flower. Its is said to be given by China handover Hk at 1997, July 1st.

:4.30p.m

-Now, we are stuck in traffic. How nice. (sarcasm) We are heading to Victoria’s Peak. The highest mountain in Hong Kong. Now we are heading up, it’s just like Cameron highland except higher. xD We are visiting the Wax Museum. That was! Not really the awesome. Just wax dolls lar. I took pictures of Astro Boy! And Elvis! :D My very very fav people. :D And then we were rushing to get my Giordano cloths which is very cheap than Malaysia. I bought 6 which equals to 2 Malaysia price. Wtf right? =.= and Now we are heading for Dinner. :D

-Jokes?-
Our tour guide was telling us jokes as we are stuck in the traffic jam.
Why man must close the door when using toilet?
The father told his son: “So the the bird won’t fly away lor”
Why woman must close door when using toilet?
The mum told her daughter: “So the bird won’t fly in lor” Wtf right?! Damn corrupted tour guide. And it’s a lady! OMG! XD

6.00p.m
-We are still stuck in the jam heading for dinner. Really traffic because there is a show today called, “The Symphony of Lights”. We are going to watch that later. :D

6.50p.m
-Just arrive at a Hakka Restaurant. Things are getting “Unpleasent”. Well, we just odered nasi goreng hakka style. Nothing much to eat actually. I want to go for the lights, fast!

7.50p.m. The Symphony of Lights!
- We just arrive at “Avenue of Stars” at Tsim Sha Tsui. They are starting the show now. Getting ready for it. And its awesome. A star shines brightly in the sky. And there are coppers too. Upon the silent night, the lights have begun! Lasers and lights are shooting from building’s opposite of me. Its very cool. This is in the book of records. The biggest outdoor laser show.

8.15p.m
-The show have ended with an applause. Its only 20 minute or so. But it lasted a memory which I won’t forget.

9.14p.m
-Now, I just bathed finish and heading to some street to buy shoes. Nike!

10.30p.m
-I bought my Nike Air shoes! Which cost 700$HK. Which is 300++ at Malaysia. And it’s the latest shoe that Malaysia doesn’t even had it yet. COOL! :D We are at “Bo hai Kai” Which meant “Sport’s Shoes Street”. Wtf? The streets are full with Shoes Stores. But Nike has the most. Damn cool. :D I do notice this. People in HK are really kind and friendly. Unlike Malaysia, they bring ego and pride around with them. I love Hk much more. Or I wonder its because we are the same “Kind”. xD (inside joke) But people are really kind there.

11.27p.m
- We are now at “Shi Liu San” which is a dessert shop. Its very nice and crowded. That’s because the shops in HK is small. The land is limited not like Malaysia. We have a big land but Hk have small land but much more advanced than us. We should catch up don’t you think? Even Hk’s airport is top5 in the world. We are top 8. =.= We had curry fishball and waffle when we are walking at “Fa Yuen Street”. We came across, smelly tau fu. Damn fcking smelly. =.= Its like passing a rubbish shop. But the tong sui at the Shi Liu San shop is very nice! :D

17/10

-I woke up at 7.30a.m. I don’t have enough sleep. I slept at 2.30a.m. last night. UGH! After I return home. I want to sleep sleep sleep! Now I think we are heading to “Ocean Park” if im not mistaken. But first, we can’t miss breakfast eh?

8.50a.m.
-We just finished breakfast. I had instant noodle. Its very nice. The kopitiam is like our typical kopitiam lar. Not much. But its very nice and fast and more advance. People like Louis (a new friend I met in HK) went Hk from Malaysia for 1 year and doesn’t want to go home. Hk is very advance. 70% of them are using branded goods and using iPhones! WTF! I go there like OMG. Damn loser. xD They like fashion. That’s very important to them.

9.30a.m
-Upon now, we reach “Ocean Park”. Awesome place! Its very big! Now we are waiting in queue for the aprk to open.

10.10a.m
-We just went into the “Ocean Park”. After taking the train up to the mountain. Damn ncie train. Got like virtual sight seeing. There is also a tower which goes up and see all the sight in “Ocean Park”. Its like our Menara Taming Sari in Malacca.

10.50a.m.
-We arrive at the “Ocean Park Theater” where they show the water performance and tricks perform by dolphin and seals.

11.20a.m
-The crowd starts to fill up the empty places. And there’s a Latin Band playing some songs. Very classic band. Very nice.

11.31a.m
-The animals are now performing. Dolphin’s are so cool and cute. The Seals are awesome as well. I think they are very smart animals. Dolphin can sing and summersault too! Its very nice! The show ends with applause. The best show I won’t forget.

11.50a.m
-We head off to the “Ocean Park Aquarium” where they have more than 2000 species of fishes. Its very crowded in there. I can hardly snap any photos. But I managed to somehow. Inside is very very cold. Outside is just dying hot!

1.10p.m
-Now we are taking the train express again.

1.20p.m.
-The pandas are what we are seeing now. So cute! But they are hiding. Sadly can’t see them. They are sleeping and hiding. Some are shy, but not the red panda. That is the only panda that is mixed of raccoon and panda. They are panda but looks like raccoon, its red in colour and it has a tail! :D


2.00p.m
-Now we are in the bus. So hot outside. I sweat a lot. Aircond I what I need. Now we are heading to the shopping centre.

2.44p.m
-We reach the shopping centre called “Lang Hang Centre”. It has 8 floors of shopping centre. That’s a lot. 2 hours of shopping is not enough. We ate Hk’s all so famour Char Siew Fan.

5.45p.m
-I just finish bathing and now eating strawberries. So tired after all the walking. Leg’s paining. Ugh. Returning to hotel is much more better. I just want a good night sleep but sadly we are going out again.

7.20p.m.
-We walked through the “Sai Yuen Street” in search of my Giordano shop. But we couldn’t locate it sadly. We walk and walk and walked and walked and walk and walk, well, you get my point of walking. xD We stop for dinner at “Cheong Kee”. Now waiting for my food. The famous Char Siew Rice, again? @__@

8.25p.m.

9.36a.m.
-We just had our dinner and now queuing to get into the ferry. We have to pass the immigration place. The ferry is very very cool. Its called “Cotai Jet”. Which traveled very fast like a jet.

10.05a.m.
-We are now on board on the ship. Heading to Macau. The journey takes at least 1hour? And the ride is very cool. The sight of the ocean is nice annoying the bumpy ride. xD The ocean is like so endless. Mountains are everywhere. The ocean is like green in colour. But that’s the wonder of nature I suppose. There are fogs too. Its very very thick. Its just like as if the fogs wanted to hide something from us. Or… Its just trying to hide stones, so we can bang into it. xD (inside joke) xD

10.59a.m.
-Now we reached Macau. And from the far distance, the sight is beautiful.

11.50a.m
-We reach “Ventilion Hotel” where the biggest casino is. I talked to Louis and he is very well educated and gave me much advice. I learn a lot from him.

1.10p.m
-I just bought some Giordano cloths and pants. Really nice. Much more worth it and later fashion than Malaysia. :D

1.49p.m.
-We are off to get some “Pork Chop Bun”. Famous in Macau. The tour guide called Catherina is very friendly. Half Spanish, half portugese. Louis gambled too. Damn cool guy. In less than 5 minute. He earn 1k plus. OMG?

2.49p.m.
-I ate “Pork Chop Bun” and visited “the Sea-Fairy Temple”. It’s a nice temple and Macau is named after her. Her name is godness Amacau. So you see, the portugese ask the fisherman what the place is. They mistaken the language and thought he was asking of the godness name and said Amacau. So the portugese named it Macau. WTF right? LOL. I took the “Guan yin, the Godness of Mercy” picture that towered of Macau facing the city and protecting its devotees.

2.55p.m.

-There was another show called the “Tree of Prosperity”. Its very awesome. People tossed coin for good luck. So-called lar. But anyhow, its cool.

3.52p.m.
-We reached at St.Paul. The “Mater Dei” church is held. Build by the Romans when they conquered Macau. Mater Dei means “Mother Of God”. The top part is the Holy Spirit. The 2nd part is Jesus with a cross. The 3rd part is the Lady of Assumption. The 4th is the 4 saints.

4.15p.m.
-I sat at McDonald’s. Leg damn freaking pain. Saint Paul’s Square is very crowded and famous for their Almond Cookie. But I don’t fancy it much. Louis bought it for his Dad. Good boy. :D

Btw, Louis is 23 years old! OMG!
