Day 1

We were at the airport pretty early and I was really excited over my trip back to HK after one year!! (how could i have waited for so long, gosh) Then we went through the normal procedure and went for breakfast at MAC! Then we decided to have some tea session at coffee bean before i realised that we had to get into the bloody plane 50 mins before the flight. And there i was, with my caramel latte in one hand and walking fast paced to the gate. And obviously, no drinks would be allowed in the check in and my bloody sister did not want to take my latte home and insisted that i try my luck and carry it in. Just whats wrong with bringing m saliva filled latte home! Oh, and when we were already ina rush, there she was, looking for her phone once again. To note, she has lost thousands of her belongings for millions of times. Luckily, the guy picked up and she got her phone back. u will have to really thank god for that.

My super act cute sis sent us to the airport

Well, so we boarded the plane and the whole journey was just me being dizzy cum tummy ache and nauseous so nothing much to talk about. I didnt even manage to finish my meal which looks pretty appetitizing to me. Now im craving for it. =( Ok, so theres really a difference between a budget airline and SIA! they have free newspaper and hot towel to refresh yourself once you board the plane. Seriously, i shall just stick to big airline from now on, except qantas & british airway. Y? simply cos they are SUPER racist. PERIOD. ok, i managed to catch The Pursuit of Happiness on the plane, a show which i had been wanting to watch but obviously did not have the time to do so. The movie was inspiring man. Great movie, a must for those who did not catch it!!! Im always amazed at how within a few hours, you can step into another country with a total different culture and language. Simply amazing and all it takes is an air ticket. Its like u r so near yet so far. Not sure if u all get what i mean but i get over-excited just thinking about this. Heh finally we reached HK and gosh, u should really congrats them on getting first ranking for their airport. They have the airport express train which brings u to big areas of the country like HK island and Kowloon and after you get off the train, the luggage trolleys are standing in line waiting to be used by u, such that u dun even have to search around for one. (maybe they are just trying to create jobs but stiill..its superb!) Then, thats not all! we get free bus rides to hotels which are registered with them. (of cos those reputable ones la) and the great thing is u dun have to pay a bloddy cent! heh. cool right. Singapore should seriously consider this point so that we can get back to the first ranking and not just thinking about how to make money all the while. Think far singapore! although i still prefer the efficient and ever spotless Singapore airport. Hk airport looks abit dirty and the queue is simply too long .

Sia, here I come!

Ta da, lunch time!

Finally we landed ourselves in Regal Kowloon Hotel. Super nice as we got a free upgrade to the deluxe room and i did get my small little sea view. THats not all. My room has a SOFA!!! thats what im excited about and the bed is like marshmellow. So soft that it leaves my body mark after i rest on it. I was lazying around before my ever-think-shes-so-clever sis beckoned me to go out and find food! (like what else can she think of) so ileft my hotel unwillingly and the clever her forgot to bring the map out. So we ended up walking in circles while looking for Harbour city Shopping Centre. Finally we found it!! at 8+, then we had dinner at what i thought was not a bad restaurant since it has a sea view and we were pretty tired. No i didnt get the seaview but thought we would just try. God knows why i stepped into this restaurant. The Chinese Bi*** refused to acknowledge us right from the start and thought that this fillipino who brought us in was quite nice so we sat down. And to my horror, my plain water (dun need to be cooked, dun need to be squeezed, just mere pouring only) came after asking for it for a few times. And adding to my horror which soon turned into disgust, my food was still not served after 40 mins!!! and everytime i asked, they would just coax me with a "its coming, madam, just few more mins" Like real, and when i finally blew my top cos its simply not taking only a few mins, i threatened them with a " if its not coming then im going off" then my food was finally served. Well well, people would think that since it took so long, the food must be damn nice so that it was worth the wait right? I beg your pardon, the steak was over grilled and my sis's fish tasted even more horrible than my mum's normal big, black fish. (she claimed la) And mind u, the whole meal was 432, which is 80+ in SGD for 2 ppl. Our hearts were aching after the meal and we decided to eat maggie mee the next day but i think we ended up eating much more things. Anyway, when we, sorry, I was paying, i deliberately made a comment saying that the beef is over cooked and again, she tried to coax us with ice cream and cheese cake. Like im impressed but why not right! make my money more worth while. Never ever go to that restaurant if u r in HK! its a black shop if is in singapore. then we proceeded back to hotel and had curry fishballs sold by the street hawker auntie who is camera shy i assumed. I prefer the uncle's one which i ate last year. What a first day right. But Im happy thinking over it. *smile*

Our Super Big Room, Comfortable too!

The night scene is superb, everywhere!

Harbour so of cos that was a ship!

Nice scenery at night

Just ignore that pimple, pls!

Voted as the "best" restaurant by me

Don't be fooled by its appearance
