HONG KONG TRIP !i can't believe i got back exactly a week ago :O
Arrived at about 10-11am i think. rooms weren't available yet so we left our bags then headed out for lunch :P
Was initially going to HMV but ended up going for lunch at nobu first :)
hotel lobby ?
NOBU.
the dreaded sparkling water.
dad ordered this during practically every meal there...
icky stuff made me feel sick -.-
the presentation was soooo OheMGee fab :] ♥
and delishhh
not meant to be eaten with wasabi cause of the dressing/sauce/thingehhhs
i just googled nobu and apparently nobu sells blue fin fish, an endangered species. well there's a warning now on the menu but still.. that doesn't exactly stop people from eating it sometimes.
just told my mom and she was like aww for 2 seconds and then said it's good/nevermind cause then they'll be reborn into better things. *buddist way of thinking* wtf. i'm still quite horrified -.- i emphasized on the "no then they'll be extinct". the day she/anyone for that matter says that about pandas, i'll go on a hunger strike =.= then again my parents would love that. like some sort of a diet method that i'm FINALLY trying out. ... need to think up a better solution to this sort of thing. not that it's gonna be particularly life changing or anything -_- lol
went to hmv. bought dvds :D
boa (4 cds: japanese cd, japanese mv dvd, english cd, english something), charade (scream with me, audrey hepburn & cary grant!!) and titanic (i don't think dad was very happy that i bought this though)
:) .. well that was just mine. sister bought a bunch of woody allen stuff including annie hall. then we got fantasia...
Went back to the hotel and rested for a bit (or rather throw out all my clothes from my bag).
An hour, some tv watching and clothes sorting later...
lemingtons :O
was intrigued
strawberry.
had an idea in mind but no time to execute afterwards :(
(which was kinda silly considering i had breakfast nearby for the next couple of mornings)
took the ferry to the island :)
went to what the french supposedly deemed "the best" chinese restaurant :/
received three Michelin stars :O
龍景軒didn't wanna be so sampat looking so i resisted the urge to whip out my camera and start snapping away shamelessly x__x
but then towards the end when this
pumpkin thing arrive,
i gave in.
"this was one of the unfortunate ones that didn't get to become cinderella's pumpkin."- my dad. wth -_- haha
with avacado insideeeee !!
practically covered in mayo xD
fish
with truffle. the black thing. expensive stuff.
apparently they used to use hogs to find these things but then the hogs would eat them so now they use dogs.
saw about three juicy couture stores in hong kong.
damn heartbreaking cause i can't *sob* afford T_T
and the thing about juicy stuff is that you can't really use them once you're pass 30.
*motivated* must own a charm bracelet/hoodie by the time i'm 20.
saw some really cute shoes but they looked so delicate and damage-able.
like the kind that i'd rather just wear in my room for feer of spoiling them.
even the pink slippers that were just so cute.
there was a rooftop bar :) tres cool.
kindly ignore my face. haha
strawberry blonde :)
and you'd think with a name like that the cocktail would be sweet and nice -_-
but it turned out pretty strong :/ didn't really like the taste :(
Then it was back to the.. mainland ? :/
doesn't this look like the clock tower in peter pan :D
DAY 2
... was disney day ;)
*happiness*
i always get this super happy nothing-can-possibly-go-wrong here cause
everything is so magical and cheery feeling whenever i stepped pass the entrance of disneyland :| doesn't matter where.
hong kong's is the smallest ferrr sure but i ain't complaining ;]
no different from the last time i went (when it first opened)..
tiny but cute i guess.
probably a good thing considering i only had a day there anyway :P
one thing's for sure though.
the weather was no where near visitor friendly.
disneyland in the summer = terrible heat xP
first stop
tomorrowland !
haha the irony
went on the space mountain ride.
the only "roller coaster" in the entire place.
i spent 99% of the time contemplating how i should pose when the camera snaps our photo xD turned out awful anyway.
lunch.
there were 7 of these scattered across disneyland :)
i think i took pictures with every single one of them :P
took pictures with minnie and tigger among others :P
+buzz lightyear, woody, pluto, goofy :)
on a hot day
tarzan's tree house :D
had to board a "raft" to get across to the little island :P
then it was like a little storytelling session as u gradually make your way up and down the treehouse :)
with "scenes" like this to "tell the story"
longgggg queue.
barely made it in :)
pretty dollhouse !!
cute furniture :O
wanted to get a set.
