martedì, giugno 22, 2004 :: HK ::How evil that jh is to wish that yl and I were squashed by char siew baos… and all the time we were thinking about her, and how it would be nice if I could go there with her. Lulu aims a billion siewmais back at jh… and gloats that due to her booming loan business, she can’t go to hk. Hia hia hia… The first thing that one notices about Kowloon is the lack of space (and the mysterious absence of birds, rats, insects and stray cats), the buildings are cramped together, with various neon boards hanging, jutting or swinging in mid-air, it’s like a jigsaw puzzle, hastily put together. Despite the grittiness and untidiness, I like Tsim Sha Tsui, simply for the bustling activity, bright colourful lights and interesting people. Hong Kong, just across the river is quite different, it’s more modern, has taller buildings, cleaner streets and more upscale shopping. Day 1: The airport is quite new, spacious, and a pleasant place to land in. After weaving thru streets and more streets, each one looking similar to the last one and getting all confused, we finally arrived at Kimberly Hotel (hehehe… Kimberly… I still can’t believe I actually thought it was KH’s REAL name… duh.) Space in HK is really limited… our room was super packed cuz well, three pple squeezing into one room (plus the two had HUGE suitcases). Then we cheong out again for the night tour… at the night tour we visited Victoria Harbour, snapping pictures like crazy, all excited and eager to see more, strolled (and perspired profusely) by the Avenue of Stars, finally ending up at the clock tower (which was under some kind of construction), next up was a trip on the Star Ferry to Hong Kong, quite fun, I enjoyed the rocking of the waves. Heh heh heh but actually I enjoyed the air-conditioning most! Lol… HK too hot too hot, omg… when u get out of a building u’re simply HIT by a blast of hot, stuffy air. Victoria peak was spectacular by night, it’s too bad we didn’t get to go up by the tram, that would be absolutely cool! Heh heh… After all that we were dropped off at Nu Ren Jie where we wandered among the shops selling various knick-knacks till almost 2am. It’s one of my favourites spots, I like to see the crowds, the bright and cheerful displays in the stalls. I wish Singapore had as much ‘life’ at night. Orchard Road is always sadly deserted by 11pm.
