[ 9:33 PM ]
I'M BACK! since 5 days ago. haha but was busy catching up with sleep, trying to unpack my luggage and finalising uni stuff that i forgot and haven't updated on my trip to hk/macau/guangzhou. so i shall do it now!
HONGKONG:
stayed at dorset seaview, and oh my god! the room is so cramped for 3 people la. was totally shocked at the size, seriously, as compared to thailand's room. but still we bear with it. went to many places in HK, like ocean park, madame Tussad's wax musuem, the peak (night view there is fantastic!), harbour front centre, wong tai sin temple, taipo wishing tree, Tian Tan Great Buddha and shopping at Mongkok and causeway bay. we practically ran all over Hk la. from the new territories to tsim sha tsui to Lantau Island. its a pity we didn't get to take the 360 Ngong Ping Cable car, since it was under maintanence. food was great too, had fabulous seafood (same in Guangzhou), dim sum and simple breakfast! the transport there was quite efficient too, and similar to singapore's. we took MTR, KCR, ferry, taxi,bus and cable car :) even the people there dressed like singaporeans too. but two things i dont really like abt Hk is that, many people smoke (just like those people from China) and the streets are so messy n dirty that i get lost easily. like how this street can lead to another, without sufficient signs to inform us.
MACAU: after 5 days in HK, we went off to Macau. took a taxi to the ferry terminal and it started pouring. so we lugged our luggages onto the ferry and after abt 2 hrs, we finally reached MACAU. not bad, its quite an easy journey, then took a bus to the STARWORLD hotel. omg, we stayed in the executive floor and its super cool as compared to the HK's one ahha. it had two mega big comfy beds, sofa, super big toilet, LCD TV screen with cool channels to watch. can even listen to the TV from the toilet aha. its a pity we only stayed there for one night, n we squandered it away by spending our late night at the casino called WYNN. cool, but we lost money at the stupid jackpots, though i tink my uncle won some. tried playing other games besides jackpot too, with the capital coming from my uncle of course. haha! and that's the first day i met my aunt, baby cousin HELINA and her grandparents. she's so adorable!! love her totally :)she will always shake her head whenever we ask her if she's full alr. she's got a really big appetite for her age man. and everytime we say chaoguai in canto, she will always do this stupid+cute+ugly facial expression that simply tickles everybody.
besides, we also visited the san paul's church, bought much MUCH food and ate the portugese tarts! they are yummylicious, but cannot dabao back.
GUANGZHOU:
the following day we took a bus to zhuhai, then my uncle drove all the way to guangzhou. the whole journey took more than 2 hrs, and i really admire my uncle for being such a patient driver, because the three of us just went off to sleep the moment we got onto the car.and i noe its really very pampered of us to be chauffered arnd in a BMW in guangzhou.got to know more abt Guangzhou when we took part in the day tour with the local tour agency. brought us to many places, and we took the ferry at night to admire the zhujiang river, but it was drizzling and that spoiled it all. almost everyday we were brought to well-known restaurants to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. and the food there is really cheaper than singapore and much more nicer ;) sometimes we ate till so full that we only eat two meals a day. OH one thing that i really enjoyed was the circus performance! its really worth watching, the people and animals are absolutely entertaining, with their stunts, visual and audio effects! on the last day of trip, we even went for foot massage that was really relaxing and... shuang! haha.and its rather convenient to be able to check in from the ferry terminal at dongguan, and just took a bus to the airport itself without having to worry abt our luggages.
ALL in all, finally touched down a changi airport arnd 11 plus at night, and what an experience we all had. I missed home, and am missing my baby cousin :P i wann my photos soon..
