:: Day 2 ::Got up super early! Didn’t sleep that great the night before, there were so many weird noises and shuffling (as if someone was walking around in the room)… I thought it was YL hunting for the toilet, unfortunately I found her face up-close when I turned to her side of the bed. Oops! (up-close k, she always navigates towards either me or LL, wanted to put a pillow for self-protection but no space… haiz so wo men dei xi sheng le…)
Next up went to yum cha at this harbour view restaurant, the food was normal, nothing too great, just the usual siew mais, char siew baos, har kaus… but, the view was superb fr that restaurant! As usual we sweeped out our sleek cams (3 sleek mine was the pok pok NON-digi cam) and started snapping away. (I’m almost as pro as I am at sweeping out my trustworthy stethy as well as my cam). In the halfday city tour we saw quite a lot of interesting things… First up was Victoria Peak (diff location fr the night before) we snapped pictures like crazy again haha… the trusty tour guide pointed out various places like the Happy Valley Racecourse, the houses of various stars and celebrities. Then as if it wasn’t HOT enuf we had to go to Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay. (repulse so-called, as it’s named after the HMS Repulse of the Brits, involved in some anti-piracy stuff) The beaches are beautiful! Not like sg’s oily, dirty sands with trash and coarse sand. There was a very commercialised temple there, Tin Hau temple, I rem David mentioning that this Tin Hau Temple is like a business with many branches, I was suddenly reminded of franchising. Anyway, this one’s unique, it has two huge huge statues guarding the front of the temple as well as a god of wealth. Still got special technique to touch it, to guarantee some wealth. Well, all of us touched the statue, but we still didn’t try out luck at Macau. At Aberdeen we took a sampan (actually it was a bumboat, not unlike those we take to Pulau Ubin), saw the floating market that was sadly closed already, cuz it was the late morning by then, as well as Jumbo Restaurant.
Finally, after the sweltering morning wandering around on beaches, we enjoyed the air-conditioning in the Aberdeen jewellery factory, they had quite a lot of nice stuff, and we were drooling over the display cases, unfortunately, boh liu. After all that dazzling displays the guide took us to a herb shop, they had tea, various herbs and longans. (I think LL neva wants to hear abt longans for a long long time…) Ended our city tour with a lunch, and went to explore Granville Road. Just one street flanked by shops on both sides took us nearly the WHOLE afternoon! Poor KH, I think he’s been up and down those streets at least 6 times when we didn’t even finish looking at all the shops! Wonder how many sticks of ice cream he polished off too! Haiz… feel so bad… Should have done something fun or cute for him hor, but on second thoughts later he say I bully him…
Later on, we met up with David, that’s our fellow med fac hwa chongian frd fr HK, real nice guy, treated us dinner and dessert and brought us around to all the interesting places… We had our first taste of roasted pigeons! Ooo! LL especially loved them, I was ok with them, like the crispiness and the meat doesn’t have such a strong smell like duck’s. Hehehe… then LL tried to eat the pigeon’s head like David, but she didn’t get past the beak, I think it’s cuz the remaining three of us were talking abt bird flus and prion diseases. Then we went to Tang Dynasty for their dessert, haha oh a bit funny, cuz I can’t take sweet stuff, they even had to WASH the toufu for me! Lol… but tt didn’t affect the dessert, it’s so pretty and delicious too!
Lalala… v happy!
KH was the most gian abt eating roasted pigeon fr a ‘roadside’ eatery, while LL was the one who was close to addicted to it. Haha… KH was going on and on abt the fishballs, so gian lor…
Ok, sorry this blog is sooo long, but can’t help it, the night is long in HK. Here we goooo…. Next we had a tram tour of Times Square, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay area, David lives in Wan Chai, gosh, the housing there really really really costs a lot! Like a bomb! Em, then we went to Lan Kwai Fong, I was a little bit disappointed cuz it looks a lot like Mohammad Sultan St here, also lots of ang mohs, pple dressing in clubbing clothes (look a bit like those here) so… we went to continue shopping at Times Square, after visiting Victoria Park.
Oh yea then YL so farnee… HAHAHA… her shoes were hurting her feet, especially when she had to walk downhill so she was like hip-hopping, and bobbing to the music… lol… cows! Neva seen anything funnier! Bop bob bop bob. Lol… she finally stopped the bopping when she got a pair of bath room slip-ons fr Giordano. After that she was happily pattering away in the streets! Haha…
Finally reached the hotel, crapped somemore and bathed, they all say I’m weird, never use the hair dryer and then I dunno what else happened cuz I fell asleep first! Ha ha…
